Passion for equestrian sports

When Manfred was commissioned as a junior officer in the Ulan Regiment No. 1, Emperor Alexander III, he became even more passionate about equestrian sports than before. After he had received his officer's licence, our father bought him a very beautiful mare. Manfred often praised this horse to me as a true marvel and indestructible. She walked like a lamb in front of his train and jumped at least one metre sixty.
