Welcome to my website!

I am very pleased that you visit my homepage and that you share my enthusiasm for Dressage and the partnership to horses. When I was five years old, I started riding on my first pony called Susi. Since that moment the fascination of working together with these fantastic creatures has always been on my mind. I´m sure that some of you feel, or felt, the same.

As competitive athlete I already had an exciting time with a lot of ups and downs. I am perfectly aware that even the most recent success stories are already history. Because the ups and downs of life are nowhere closer to each other than in equestrian sport and day-to-day relations with a horse as partner.

Since October 2010 I have had the honour of being able to ride Totilas, presently the best dressage horse in the world, after Paul Schockemöhle brought the stallion to Germany in the autumn of 2010. In the meantime I have built up a close friendship with Totilas and it is a great pleasure training with him every day.

I hope that we will in future be able to impress the people at the equestrian shows and Totilas many fans all over the world in our own way. I thoroughly hope you enjoy browsing around my website.

Yours,

Matthias Rath
