Arno Gego
Respected show jumping course designer, teacher and mentor, Arno Gego passed away at the age of 84.
The German master designed courses all over the world, but Aachen was his mainstay, where he laid out the routes for the 1986 show jumping world championships.
The Aachen CSIO paid tribute to him by saying, “He was a horseman through and through.”
An advanced show jumper himself, he devised challenges for horse and rider that made them better. Founder of the Aachen School of Course Design, he handed his knowledge and perspective along to others.
