Story

The partnership between Toveks Mary Lou and Henrik von Eckermann was ignited by Karl Schneider, who rode her himself up to 1.45m level. Knowing that her potential reached further, he just needed to find the right man in the saddle. At the time, he started working together with Henrik von Eckermann, who himself had decided to set up his own business after many years under the wings of Ludger Beerbaum.

Already from the very first jump, they realized this was a ‘match made in heaven’. Much faster than expected, Toveks Mary Lou was ready for the highest level, jumping her first 1.60m classes after only two months of partnership. She ended both, the Helsinki World Cup and the Grand Prix, with only four penalties. After just a little more than three years, Toveks Mary Lou was already known as one of the fastest and most competitive horses at the highest level worldwide.

On the indoor World Cup circuit she took gold on three World Cups and finished on the podium of another three. She took bronze in both, the Paris World Cup final and the Omaha World Cup final. During the outdoor season she ranked 4th in the technical and tight Grand Prix of Monaco. However, she just as easily adapted to the massive ‘Aachener Soers’, jumping double clear in the Nations Cup which led Sweden to the victory. She won the Windsor Grand Prix in GreatBritain and finished 2nd in Valence and Dinard. On the Rolex circuit she won Den Bosch and was 2nd in Geneva. On top of that, Toveks Mary Lou was awarded the silver medal at the Europeans in Gothenburg and at the World Equestrian Games in Tryon.
