| Impairment | In 2011 her eyesight was severely reduced within the space of a few weeks because of a genetic condition that blocked the passage of the optic nerve to her brain. (Gestut Bonhomme Facebook page, 21 Jun 2016; reitsportnews.at, 24 Jun 2014) |
| Other information | BORROWED HORSE Her top horse Del Rusch is owned by German para-dressage rider Elke Philipp. "Elke and her husband had known me since 2012 and liked the way I rode. Her coach suggested that 'Dally' came to me and they agreed. His nature and character are the best and when there are obstacles in his way, he stops. He replaces some of my eyesight."
