Meredith and Markus spent the first weekend of August at the local show in Verden with Artemis Farm's Lady Carambola Cor (Meredith), Carlito's Way and Cool Hand Luke (Markus): Both 8-year-olds, Carly and Corey, jumped extraordinarily.

Luke placed 4th in Saturday's big tour ranking class. Da

In Sunday's Grand Prix Markus rode Luke, for the first time in a 5* Grand Prix. The gelding lived up to the expectations, though, with another class round and just one fence down.
