Horse riding - Admiral Canaris and Heydrich
Hi guys.
I have been reading in one of my Heydrich books, that Heydrich and Admiral Canaris used to go horse-riding together.
This has always been a hobby of mine and in fact I have my own horse which is stabled at my uncle's.
Just wondering if any other famous Nazi leaders or generals used to enjoy horse-riding. In England it is considered a "gentlemen's sport" so I would think some of the generals would be happy in the saddle.
Thanks for all help (a sensible question and interesting question I hope)

Reichsleiter Dr. Robert Ley made it obligatory for Napola scholars to 'learn horseriding, not to instill some bourgeois cliché but for the scholar to learn to control the animal totally with his will. The aryan race is a race of masters, and through controlling the horse, the scholar will learn to instill his will upon other people as well.'

Walter Buch was a horseman. This scan is from an original pic that I own.
Note the ribbon on his right breast pocket. I'm new at this, and I never realized the significance of it until Jolly Man informed me. This forum and all the members are great!

Can any of the moderators or anyone with computer knowledge tell me why I can see three pictures: "Canaris and SS Gruppenführer Kurt Kaul" form Phil, "Walter Buch was a horseman" from Hexar and my Eberhard Quirsfeld. I see nothing on the other three: SS-Stubf. Waldemar Goetze - Heimwer Danzig, Hermann Fegelein and his brother Waldemar or Amon Goth.
I'm properly logged in so it can't be that.
Any help would be much appreciated.

I deleted the posts without a pic to avoid confusion.Derek wrote:Can any of the moderators or anyone with computer knowledge tell me why I can see three pictures: "Canaris and SS Gruppenführer Kurt Kaul" form Phil, "Walter Buch was a horseman" from Hexar and my Eberhard Quirsfeld.

If anybody has for example pics of Hermann Fegelein winning the 18th German "Springderby" in Hamburg-Flottbek (May 1937) with his horse "Schorsch" he is welcome.
Also desiderable is a pic of his brother Waldemar Fegelein winning the "Deutsches Springderby 1939" in Hamburg-Flottbek with his horse "Nordrud".
Other pics with famous horsemen are welcome too.
