Beside Nobless M she is the best horse I have ever ridden.“ After the surprising parting from Toulago his several other top horses now give him a great perspective. „In my life the show always goes on. Because I can count on people who stick by me also in less successful times. A big thank you for their support!“ – In Shanghai Pius Schwizer has delivered many more good results: He was 6th with Caretina de Joter in the main class on Friday and took a 3rd and a 5th place aboard Dundee vd Dwerse Hagen.
