for an absolutely successful perfor-mance. The audience was delighted.

"The interest, the encouragement, and the demonstrated will to learn as much as possible were extremely strong here. Many spectators came from far away to watch the clinic and to attend the Masterclass-Evening. The grounds are gorgeous and all I can say is that I would just love to make this clinic an inherent part of my schedule for the years to come", so Heike.

"If everybody enjoyed themselves as much as I did then I would love to return to Australia. I want to thank all who arranged this clinic so perfectly."

With Quantico Heike travelled to the tournament "on the doorstep", to Verden. In the Grand Prix Quaddi gave a very satisfactory performance and came sixth. In the Grand Prix Freestyle on Sunday morning, his first ever freestyle at all, he joined in beautifully and reached another sixth place. "Quaddi is extremely sensitive, has very little appetite in tournaments and doesn't really feel very well in unfamiliar surroundings – all this affects power and concentration, of course, especially in the second test. All these problems were much improved in Verden, however. He was nice and fresh on Sunday, fed well and wasn't nearly as nervous in the strange box as he can be. Therefore I'm very very pleased with him", said Heike.
