Katharina Hemmer on Denoix PCH, owned by American Nancy Gooding and Hubertus Schmidt, has been named as one of Germany’s five combinations on the Olympic squad.
Katharina took over the ride on the gelding in 2023 because of health issues for the world renowned Hubertus who initially competed Denoix from 2019 for Nancy of Larkspur, Colorado. Hubertus coaches Katharina.

Katharina Hemmer and Denoix PCH, 12-year-old gelding;
Matthias Alexander Rath and Destacado FRH, 11-year-old Hanoverian stallion;

Frederic Wandres and Bluetooth OLD, 14-year-old Oldenburg gelding, and
Isabell Werth with both DSP Quantaz, 14-year old German Sport Horse gelding, and Wendy de Fontaine, 10-year-old Danish Warmblood mare.
Both Frederic and Bluetooth and Isabell and Fontaine were on Germany’s team at the Paris Olympics. Frederic and Bluetooth have been a major feature at the Global Dressage Festival in Wellington, Florida the past three years.
