CSI2* Verden
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

CHIO Rotterdam
Last weekend Markus was in Rotterdam with Luke and Carlito's Way for the 5* Nations Cup event. While 8-year-old Carlito's Way gained some valuable experience, clearing a 1.50m course, it was Luke's turn for both the Grand Prix and the Nations Cup. After a fantastic first round, delivering three clear rounds (one of which by Markus and Luke), and only 4 faults in the second round the German team secured a second place finish, this season's best result for the German equipe.

CSI4* Hagen - Horses and Dreams
The first international show back in Europe couldn't have gone a lot better for Markus. Showing his current top mounts, Cool Hand Luke and Charmed, both horses proved to be in tremendous form. Charmed was his pick for Saturday's Grand Prix qualifier, in which the chestnut mare cleared the first round and a very fast jump-off track to finish 2nd. In the following day's Grand Prix Luke produced another two clear rounds in his usual effortless manner for a 4th place finish. Mere

CSI5* St.Moritz
Another good weekend for Markus and his horses in Switzerland. Both Charmed and Cool Hand Luke jumped great at the CSI5* event. Charmed finished on a super fifth place in the 1.55m "Championat of St.Moritz", Friday's GP qualifier and the second biggest class of the show. 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.
