Trophy or Chinch (dust)bathtub?
Good morning! I had to use this photo of Chinch reveling in the Bromont trophy because he has now touched both the Badminton and the Bromont trophy. Will the Luhmühlen trophy be Chinch’s next destination? You’ll have to stay tuned this week to find out, as he is currently safely tucked away in Jenni’s carry-on as she travels to Germany. Will P-Dutty pose with Chunch too? Maybe take a ride on Shamwari? Perhaps!
Luhmühlen kicks off today with the first horse inspection, so stay tuned for much more from Germany. In the meantime, check out the links below for more on the German CCI4*.

Vittoria Panizzon had her yard “cleared out” by thieves. Last week, 16 saddles, 25 bridles and 20 bits were stolen. Vittoria is urging everyone to be on the lookout for the sale of these items, which were primarily the brand Pariani, which is an uncommon brand and therefore should be easy to spot if the thieves attempt to sell them.
