Celle State Stud, Mare Performance Testing, the stallion performance test at Adelheidsdorf and to finish off, the stallion licensing at Verden. The course was outstanding and the Hanoverian Verband showed why they are the top studbook. Karen met many friends on the course from all over the world and looks forward to keeping in touch with all.
