Is there anyone that can translate from German?

Understood bits of it but I am a total disgrace considering my ancestory. Loved it just to watch the hoss in action.Hosses and humans move on . If you stay still ,you fail. The hoss has moved on and I wish him luck ,he is amazing.
 
Found it..hope you enjoy

The super stallion that Paul S bought in the hope of winning lots of medals for Germany. Cost of 10 million euro. He bought it and then looked for the rider to suit. He realised that after 20 minutes that the pair were going to be in perfect harmony. The 10 yr old stallion was under his previous owner ED the best of the best. He found the movements so easy and won 3 gold medals in America this year. MR has time to prepare for the next summer championships and to win the trophey back from the Netherlands.

MR says - The horse has so much personality and character and has his own mind an pride. Its the same in the stable as when you ride him.

The dutch fans posted on MR website that this is not earning success but buying it. Every win will be for ED. There is a book about Tortilas - the author says he is not v pleased, perfect match in past so MR needs to copy success.

Some say that PS had destroyed the dream of ED and Tortilas.. But horses are about money. There is a lot of money to be made in SJ and dressage field through his stud fees- they hope to be able to make up the cost of purchase very soon.
 
Thank you Jackobear :)

Whilst I fully appreciate the commercial side of horses(!), I think that some things, such as the partnership that was, should not been changed. Financially speaking, it would have made far more sense for the horse to stay with ED as his rider - the story from that partnership would have funded books, documentaries, training vids, film. All that plus a stud career.

As others have said, it will appear that any future medals the new combination wins will have been bought rather than earned.
 
Wow, jackobear, I am totally in awe of your mastery of German. Mine's not too terrible but I listened to it twice and gave up because although I got the vague gist, it was just too fast for me to be able to be sure I was getting it right! Are you bilingual?
 
Glad i could be helpful instead of just asking advice!

Kerilli- half my degree was german, i lived there for a Year and i married a German! Although we hardly speak any german as he lived here for 5 years now

I feel sorry for new rider whatever he does will be criticised
