Slaughter horse Uma and Denis Stefan on the road to their first show in Wr. Neustadt

CM | Western riding – Do you remember the Romanian Denis Stefan, whose great goal was to start with his mare Uma, who he’d saved from slaughter, at the Americana 2017? In spring 2017 he came to Austria to learn from Vern Sapergia and Joedy Cunningham. In his home country it is virtually impossible to find a Western horse trainer. Denis has gained most of his knowledge from videos and books.

Due to several buraucratic difficulties he wasn’t able to attend the Americana. He had, however, succeeded in attracting many people to his „Project UMA“ and also won a few smaller sponsors, such as Dennis Moreland, owner of Dennis Moreland Tack, who sent him some equipment free of charge from Texas.

Denis has been training diligently with Uma over the last few months and also travelled through Romania to draw many people’s attention to the appropriate attitude to work with horses. He really wanted to attend a show with Uma, so he decided to go the Western Star Autumn Classic in Wr. Neustadt (Lower Austria).

Denis is looking forward to the weekend: „I am so happy that I have come so far with Uma. This will be our first show. Our main goal is to expose her to a lot of different thins and at the same time we want to have fun. I really hope to make a difference in saving other horses in need from our national farms in Romania.“
