Marystown
Victoria Secret
with Melina Cserhati
My daughter, Melina (born 2000) and
Marystown Victoria Secret (born 2008)
have been big friends since 2010.
I
t all started with trotting races, jumping, obstacle driving and
Gymkhana. Soon, however, the two realized that their greatest
joy lies in their cooperation on the ground. Great achievements
in Gymkhana followed and one thing led to another. More and more
Melina worked free with Victoria. The idea of their own show started
to take shape, especially the idea of dancing with each other.
We received great support from Gabriele Voser, the owner of the
stud Buechbuehls Miniature Horses. This is where we bought
Victoria from in 2010 and out of this stable as well. Gabriele Voser
made it possible for us and her beautiful mini horses to have great
performance opportunities in Switzerland and in Germany. Melina
also found help and support in one of the best natural horsemanship
trainers in Switzerland, Niklaus Muntwyler. In addition we also have
Elisabeth Kölliker, another fine horse trainer. She helps us to keep
Victoria flexible and agile. And there is the mother (me) who is
responsible for the fitness. I take Victoria with me to jog and from
time to time she runs alongside my bike. And during this past year,
Victoria found a new friend the polo horse, Arco Iris. With him she
is allowed to be ponied and enjoys the fast paces very much.
