Horses
Marcus Ehning joined the equestrian world when he was 7 years old.

Then he started obtaining great results in higher level competitions mostly thanks to Orchidee, Opium and Talan. He reached the top level with For Pleasure and from that point he constantly grew with his horses, achieving victories in competitions worldwide. His top horses are Plot Blue, Cornado, Comme Il Faut, Singular LS La Silla, Gaudi and Sabrina. Beyond high level competitions, he also takes care of his young horses, training them day by day.
