The HorsesDaily Impromptu Aachen Tour

When the HorsesDaily Euro-Tour made a scheduled visit to Gestüt Vorwerk, the home and training grounds for Lisa Wilcox, in Cappeln, Germany, it was to begin work on an in depth article on the scholarship program offered by Lisa, her trainer Ernst Hoyos, and the Gestüt Vorwerk, training and breeding operation.

The first recipient, sixteen-year-old Suzanne LaPorte, from Georgia and Florida was settled in and adjusting quickly to her new way of life for the next six weeks.

Suzanne's Mom, Janice, as well as her trainer in America, Bent Jensen, along with John Zopatti were due to arrive in a few days for a visit and to attend the CHIO Aachen event. While Lisa was able to get all of them guest passes to attend the sold out event, the issue of a hotel was still yet to be resolved. Added to the group, was Lisette Milner, who has her three FEI horses in training with Hoyos nearby.
