family
I was raised with my two siblings Louis and Nike in an architecture household close to the city Darmstadt.sport
Sport always played a big role in my family. My dad´s enthusiasm for all kinds of ball sport made me play Tennis from the early age. With his support I played successfully in the clubs youth team as well as in the squad until the age of 14. Nevertheless the pure of horses cast a spell over me very soon. Tennis was nice, but horses were fascinating! From 5 years of age I rode alongside on the local clubs horses, but very soon I started taking part at small shows and my mum bought our first family horse.riding
For me it has always been a destiny to have horses in my life. My mum has chosen our horses as well as my trainer with the goal of joining training pathways and shared education – from the beginning I learned how to ride young horses and work with them -I am very grateful for my mum´s foresight at that time as these experiences help me a lot in my daily work with them right now.
my education
Ever since I was a child I was certain to not only make my interest in horses my purpose in life but also my occupation. In order to build that on a economic basis I opted for a finance and business administration study, which I completed during my time at Dorothee Schneider’s stable “Gestüt St.Stephan“. After 6 years of intensive teaching and lessons from Dorothee I set up my own business in 2015.Additionally i would like to take the exam in a master of horse business to pursue the joy of teaching not only horses, but also trainees. In autumn 2018 i could register for that.
Besides the formative time at Dorothee Schneider´s place, i was also schooled by Hans Riegler, Karin Hahn and Johnny Hilberath, as well as Armin Schäfer jr. in the jumping saddle.
my trainers
The longstanding education with Dorothee can be summarized in one sentence: “Learning from the best.“ Precise riding is continuous motivation for the horses whilst she is educating them in an outstanding and exemplary manner. The basic principle to see horses as your partner in sport apply for her as well as for me. At this point I would like to take the opportunity to thank her dearly for this exceptional apprenticeship.The daily work with horses implies steadily learning in a variety of ways - so, I am always looking forward to the future. Thereby I benefit from the experiences of the others: I love the possibility to train the young horses at Dressurleistungszentrum Lodbergen with Sebastian Heinze, where I took over the riding of the stallion For Final OLD. The additional work with "the horseman" Klaus Balkenhol with the further trained horses complements my work perfectly.
“Riding is not only a job – it is lived passion“
philosophy
In my opinion, one of the most important tasks of a dressage rider is to keep and improve the horse’s motivation. Only a motivated and content horse is willing to perform and form a team with its rider. Every horse is an individual, which should be treated and be ridden individually. The horse’s strength and self-confidence should be encouraged in order to make them dance and shine. Dressage riding is not only about performing correctly – its fascination is created by the horse and rider who build a unity in the arena.
With a diversified, consistent and constant education, I want to use my time for the education of dressage horses which reach from Youngsters up to Grand Prix Horses. This education and training is supposed to give scopes for individual development, depending on the individual needs of every single horse. The well-adjusted, balanced horse, according to appropriate standards of education is, for me, of capital importance, which I certainly communicate during the classes I give.
The riding center of the Gramann family in Vechta, in the heart of the largest German equestrian region in the Osnabrück region, offers the best possible conditions to meet this versatile approach: two riding arenas, several outdoor riding courses, a gallop race track and a new horse walker support the daily training. A small training course or Cavaletti work, best riding possibilities, generous pastures and well-designed paddocks provide the mental balance and "let your soul dangle" the four-legged friends.

"Anyone who works alone, adds.
The one who works together multiplies."
I am supported by my two team members Katja Schneider and Laura Pettke, both are fully qualified riders by FN. Their strength is to handle the mainly young and unexperienced horses in a very sensitive, patient and positive way. The well-experienced team around the barn under the responsibility of Gabriela and Josef Gramann, as well as Pferdewirtin Hiltrud Zubrägel offers us with a family-run stable a very nice „home“ - a big thank you for that !
I have always benefited from the long-lived experience of my mother who helps and supports me in every needs which concern the equitation. We form a great team.

"Dear Stella, when I saw Hamilton for the first time I knew that he belongs to me. Every time I go to the stable I´m happy to have him and don´t want to miss a second with him. Everything you told me about him is true 100% - thank you for your honesty. Especially in horse business and trading that is hard to find. I´m looking forward to many more years with this sweetie and I´ll keep you up-to-date, thank you for your support."

"Bästa Stella! Tusen tack för en fantastisk tid med dig och hästarna i Bippen! Det här året har varit fantastiskt på så många sätt och något jag sent kommer glömma. Jag har utvecklat min ridning, men även vuxit på ett personligt plan. När jag bestämde mig för att flytta från Sverige till Tyskland så visste jag inte vad som väntade och att jag skulle få det bästa året hittas. Det var tråkigt flytta hem för att fortsätta studierna, men allt har sin tid och jag är evigt tacksam för tiden jag fick hos dig. Jag är så glad för allt du har lärt mig, alla hästar jag har fått rida och för att jag har fått en vän för livet. Det har varit en ära att få jobba med en så ödmjuk människa som verkligen har en passion för det hon gör och är så mån om alla hästarna. Det har varit en ära att jobba med dig. Ännu en gång, tack Stella!"
"Dear Stella! Thank you for an amazing time with you and the horses in Bippen! This year have been amazing in so many ways and something I will always carry with me. I have developed my riding, but also grown as a person. When I decided to move from Sweden to Germany I didn’t know what came ahead nor that this would be the best year I’ve ever had. I am very sad to move back home for studies but everything has its time and I’m forever grateful for the time I got to spend with you and the horses. I’m so thankful for everything you taught me, all the horses I got to ride, and the fact that I got a friend for life. It has been an honor to work with such a humble person with a huge passion for her work and great love for her horses. It has ben a huge pleasure working with you. So again, thank you Stella!"
