It&#x2019;s the perfect sport for people who can move gracefully,&#x201C; explains Kim Schewe, Managing Director of the agency &#x2013; which is why he&#x2019;ll be on the jury and not taking part in the event.<\/p>\n<p>The sport can trace its roots to Victorian royal court games, but it lost out to lawn tennis and faded into obscurity. &#x201C;Maifeld Derby is the perfect occasion to restore hobbyhorse dressage to its rightful standing. Where else can you meet roughly 5,000 open-minded young people?&#x201D; says Sebastian Callies, co-owner of the agency.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Only the best horses.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The company spared no expense to have industrially-carved dressage horses like the 13-year old grey gelding <em>Sputnik H&#xE4;berle<\/em> flown in specially for the event. Competitors enter at their own risk. &#x201C;However, no animals will be harmed during the competition,&#x201D; assures Callies.
