- About us > Kareen
- The human being behind GHC - Kareen Heineking-Schütte - is a vet born in 1974 and grew up on her parents farm called ´Riehemar's´. It was always silently agreed upon that Kareen should one day overtake the operation as the two older brothers didn't take an interest in neither farming nor the horse breeding. As a breeder's daughter she began to ride at the age of 8 and did a lot of team vaulting as most girls in Germany do at a certain age. Being around animals and humans has always been her main focus in life. After nosing into classical ballet from the age of 8 to 12 as well as playing volleyball and the violin for several years aside of the horses, lack of time forced her to reduce sparetime activities at some point. Needless to say the equines stayed and the rest went down the drain. Horses she made a team with include Shetland pony mix Gretchen who took her to first victories and pony club winnings in equitation classes, German riding pony Looping who was Kareen's first homebred and homebroke pony and got her a first start in competition over fences and Hungarian warmblood Marco Polo who taught her how to ride forward and to watch your fingers while a horse is eating.
