116a. Horses who had already participated in tournaments, except competition. Colonel Herf withdrew his participation in the hunting jumping for his person. I consider this refusal to be justified. First of all, it is not usual to write out conditions at tournaments and not to comply with them, but secondly, it's not pleasant for an older rider who takes part in a class A hunting jumping with a duty horse and, according to the skills of the horse, of course, has trouble to pass the hunting jumping, if in the same jumping any rider takes the obstacles smoothly on a much better tournament horse. In front of the audience, who do not know the background, this easily gives a crooked picture and it easily comes to the conclusion that the rider can not ride on the service horse and that any young man who easily overcomes these obstacles on a jumping horse would necessarily be better rider. 2.) In a letter from the 4-site commando, Prague dated 15.10.1940, the riding track of the Bohemian Moravian riding club was made available to the tournament participants on 2-days from 12-15 h 69163. A practice with lamp light was not provided. When the Major Korn had attended the quadrille practice on Thursday 23.10.40 towards evening, he happened to hear from a horse owner of the Wehrmacht that there would be a jump afterwards.The Parcourt A was built.Now riders of the wehrmaek, the i and civilian lords jumped, who had to be informed of this exercise. The masters of the police goods were not notified, nevertheless they were since Monday daily in the riding track to practice the quadrille and it would have been a matter of course to invite them to the following jumping exercise.
