Riding for Great Britain, Susan Pape works with John and Leslie Malone of Harmony Sporthorses. This will be her third year traveling to Florida from northern Germany, where her husband Ingo Pape and family own Hengststation Pape, a huge breeder of world-renowned German dressage and jumping horses. A superb dressage competitor, Susan Pape competes Hanoverian gelding Harmony’s Fiorano and top breeding and competition stallion Harmony’s Don Noblesse, along with a few up-and-coming horses. Whether competing in the U.S. or Europe, Pape is always a contender. She has found success in preparing her horses through the young horse divisions, often placing in the Louisdor Cup Finals for German Developing Grand Prix Horses. Pape’s sponsors have given their team, which includes Michael Klimke, Scott and Susanne Hassler, and up-and-coming rider Luuk Mourits, an opportunity to concentrate on top sport. They work together during the winter season, at a beautiful facility only a few minutes from the Wellington showgrounds. A top rider, Pape is grateful for the opportunity to train in the warm weather and to prepare for the upcoming championships to represent her country, while showing the bloodlines from her family farm.
