Despite first rumours that Madeleine Winter Schulze was to retire as spokesperson for the German Dressage teams and from the board of directors of the German Equestrian Federation, Winter Schulze has decided only to quit her job as spokesperson. Madeleine Winter Schulze, who was the former German Dressage and Show Jumping champion, will keep her position in the board of the FN and in the dressage selection committee of the DOKR.
With a little help from friends, everything will work. World wide photographers seemed to have noticed that the Eurodressage/Horsesdaily alliance works and at the World Equestrian Games more photographers are applying the same work format like Horsesdaily did already back in 1998. Mary Phelps and JJ Hathaway then decided to get new force for their company by selecting a "young female European brain" as additional force for the business. At the 2002 World Equestrian Games in Jerez, it became obvious that more press people are using the same format. Arnd Bronkhorst acquired himself a new girlfriend who turned out to be an excellent marketing engineer and photo tech for his business. Belgian photographer Dirk Caremans has found new bliss and happiness with girlfriend Karen, who is already getting to know the buttons on the camera too. Of course, Chris Hector and Roz Neave are the established example of a successful equestrian journalists' duo.
