When we found Malouvier, we felt like we had stepped back in time. The owner of the stately gelding was still turning the hay in the traditional way, with a draught horse and a wooden cart. Impressed and moved by the intimate relationship between farmer and horse, Michael Aufhauser struck up a conversation with the man. The man told him about Malouvier, who he had actually wanted to train as a draught horse, but this never happened because he was to be sold. Michael Aufhauser immediately agreed to take him on. And the other horse - Vasco - was also allowed to follow as soon as his assignment was over.
