We all where very happy as our "chief" Sepp announced that our this year's club excursion as a reward for all assiduous horse show helpers goes to the Amadeus Horse Indoors. Thus on Saturday we hit the road in a bus towards Salzburg. 12 hours in total we spent enjoying good sport, fabulous atmosphere and - of course - numerous shopping tours in the exhibition halls.
