We’re truly in the thick of five-star season now, and all eyes this week are on Germany’s Luhmühlen Horse Trials, which takes place in the very pretty Lüneberger Heide area of Lower Saxony (sort of near Hamburg, if that’s more geographically helpful for those of you who aren’t au fait with the continent’s nature reserves.
