Other information |
TRYON WITHDRAWAL She withdrew from the 2018 World Equestrian Games [WEG] in Tryon, NC, United States of America after the dressage phase due to concerns about the welfare of her horse Wega. "I sadly announce that Wega and I have retired. She had a hard time with the flight and quarantine and didn't drink enough. Blood tests showed that, with the very hot weather and high humidity, she had not totally recovered yet and I don't want to risk her health." (grandprix-replay.com, 15 Sep 2018)
FROM SWEDEN TO GERMANY In 2008 she quit the office job that she had held for 13 years in order to follow in her older sister's footsteps and relocate to Germany. She moved three of the family horses to Warendorf and began living with her partner [now husband] Frank Ostholt. She felt her riding had reached its limit in Sweden and hoped to compete in bigger competitions. "I wanted to give myself the chance to see how much I could develop before I got too old." (ostran.se, 24 Jun 2011; barometern.se, 01 Mar 2008)
STABLES She and her husband Frank Ostholt run Ostholt-Eventing in Warendorf, Germany. (Facebook page, 15 Nov 2018) |
