It is very unconventional for judges to make a comment of this nature and
shows how highly considered she is. My life is now less involved with horses as
I am working as an architect in my home country of New Zealand, but when the
time comes to become a serious amateur rider once again, it will be Birgitt who
I ask to find my horses, and her who I will want to train me. Birgitt is
unquestionably one of the most talented riders and trainers I have met. Her
standards are very high, her knowledge is immense, and her intuitive sense
solves many complex training problems. I wish her the best in every one of her
future equestrian endeavours.
With best wishes,
Jarrod Haberfield
