"I will never forget Riding Master Eggert, the trainer of the horses from the Countess von Hessen in Schloss Kronberg in Taunus. When he was 82 years old he still rode two Grand Prix horses every day. He had three. He let me ride one, because as he said, 'I am no longer as strong as I used to be!"
"When he was in the hospital and we knew he was dying, he called me once more to his bedside. He said, "Walter, now I start to understand what riding is, and now I must die."
- Herr Walter Zettl, Dressage in Harmony
