Other information AUTHOR She authored a book published in 2020 called 'Das Gluck der Erde' [The Happiness of the Earth]. The book focuses on the relationship between people and horses. "Some publishers contacted me and asked me if I would like to write a book. I didn't want to write a biography as I think and hope that it's far too early for that, so this is more of a reflection on things that have happened to me and the impact of the special horses in my life. It's a very honest book. The idea came a couple of years ago during my pregnancy [with her son Moritz]. I started to write about my main cognitions, and what I have learned so far from the best life coaches that I have by my side, the horses. It was a lot of work, really a lot. But writing was also an opportunity for reflection, and so this was both a positive and intense time for me. Maybe I'll write another book one day." (fei.org, 28 Jan 2021) STABLES She works as a manager at her family's stables Reitanlage Aubenhausen in Germany. The business offers training for dressage horses and coaching for riders, and was established in 1993 by her father Klaus.
