Sunshine and vacation atmosphere influenced the apperance of CSIO5* in Abu Dhabi and restaged the stunning stadium. A wonderful setting for an exciting nations cup.

The German Team placed 6th after the only clear round in the first round from David and Colorit.

Also with his horse Lesthago he was very successful and could get a placing in both 1,45 m classes.

David and Colorit were delighted with a super 6th place at Sunday's Grand Prix. They completed the circuit impressively and confidently, but unfortunately ran out of time, and narrowly missed the jump-off due to a time penalty point.

Another cause for joy was Colorit's 5th place after a double clear round in the first qualifier for the Grand Prix, and Lesthago's third place in the 1.40m jumping competition on Saturday.

Dietmar Gugler is the new coach of Team Singapore for the Southeast Asian Games 2015 (SEAG2015), which will take place in June 2015 in Singapore.

Between 9.1 and 11.1.2015, the Riders Club Singapore organized a second training camp. During a seminar on Friday evening, a course on Saturday, and obstacle course jumping on Sunday, Dietmar shared his wealth of experience with the students.
