The previous year (2005), both were also used exclusively at the Annual Fest der Pferde, held in Vienna to commemorate the centennial of Mozart's passing (a "hometown boy," his concertos are favorite music for competitions and shows worldwide). This spring at the Equitana, . . . and just last week in Austria at the FEI-sponsored competition: they had 72 hours of torrential rainfall, right up to the morning of the first day. The outdoor arena as "perfect" within an hour of the torrent stopping.</FONT></div> <bR> <div> The FEI officials were "shocked and dumbfounded," expecting to cancel the opening day events or postpone for 24 hours. Instead, they used the best riding surface available in the world. Letters, articles & TV News videos to follow . . .</div> <bR> <div> When I asked Joachim Laengle, the owner of Pro-Equus in Austria,<I><B> "Joe, do you have anyone in Europe that would give us a letter-of-recommendation for the grids, as well as for the Perfect Footing? You know, somebody that Americans might have heard of, or read about?"</B></I></div> <bR> <div> Joe started rattling off<I><B> "a few respected horsemen in Europe,"</B></I> that he assured us would give a product recommendation to any American who telephoned them. Here are the ones I could scribble down, do you recognize any of them?</div> <bR> <div> Joe suggested, <I><B>"Call any of the following, and ask any of them about Pro-Equus, Ecoraster, or Pro-Flex, etc. They will provide a recommendation over the telephone. Call Christine or George Wahl, or Vanja Babic, Tina, or call Kronsteiner if you can find him at home."</B></I> (Rudi happens to be the 2005 International Champion of the NRHA - rodeo's "National Reining Horse Association"), and so on . . .</div> <bR> <div> <I><B>Georg Wahl:</B></I>  <A NAME="george_wahl"><IMG BORDER="0" SRC="1x1.gif" HEIGHT="1" ALIGN="bottom" WIDTH="1" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0" ></A>Joe's neighbor in Austria (now in his 80's, he also is the Former Director of the most-prestigious Spanish Riding School, Retired)</div> <div> About Georg: "George Wahl should be blessed for life.
