Alina Asmuth, Meinerzhagen
“I’m filled with joy and emotion. This has turned out incredibly well. I think your art is great anyway, but when it’s your own horse, it’s something completely different. I am really thrilled and would like to thank you for this wonderful gift you have given me.”
Sofie Ebdrup, Hamburg
“Saturday was finally the day and we celebrated an incredible wedding. Sunday morning I was finally able to show Henning your picture – and he started crying with joy! “That is exactly how he always looks at me!” The reaction couldn’t have been bigger. Thank you so much again!”
