The tranquillity of the place makes it hard to believe that it is located only a few-minute drive from the city. Foxes, rabbits and roe deer venture out of the shelter provided by the wood. However, on 5 or 6 days during turf season between May and October, when thousands of people flock to the horse racing venue to marvel at fine thoroughbreds doing flat or jump racing, they prefer to stay hidden in the bordering Dossenwald forest.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_11710\" style=\"width: 1930px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/137_rennstall_marco_klein.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-11710\" class=\"wp-image-11710 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/137_rennstall_marco_klein.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/137_rennstall_marco_klein.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/137_rennstall_marco_klein-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/137_rennstall_marco_klein-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/137_rennstall_marco_klein-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/137_rennstall_marco_klein-1536x1024.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-11710\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The Waldrennbahn racetrack in Mannheim-Seckenheim: The tranquillity of the place makes it hard to believe that it is located only a few-minute drive from the city.<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Marco Klein runs a racing stable right behind the Mannheim turf track. It may sound odd, but he has never been in the saddle himself when gallop racings take place. But he knows exactly how to prepare thoroughbreds for it: \u201cI don\u2019t think anybody, including myself, would have thought I was going to have 32 horses entrusted to me in my stables, just six years after the establishment of my business,\u201d says the former professional soldier, who served in three Afghanistan military missions. His time there taught him to stay calm even when under the utmost strain, he explains. \u201cI had a hard time wrestling with myself to give up my safe paramedic post.\u201d In 2015, however, the family from Viernheim unanimously decided to support his racing stable project. Since then, his father, his common law spouse, his sister and his mother have been pitching in. Marco had completed courses on expert horse training in addition to his work for a while already. As a licensed professional trainer, he has turned his passion into a profession.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_11648\" style=\"width: 1930px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/75_rennstall_marco_klein.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-11648\" class=\"wp-image-11648 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/75_rennstall_marco_klein.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/75_rennstall_marco_klein.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/75_rennstall_marco_klein-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/75_rennstall_marco_klein-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/75_rennstall_marco_klein-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/75_rennstall_marco_klein-1536x1024.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-11648\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Marco Klein runs a racing stable right behind the Mannheim turf track.<\/p><\/div>\n<p>\u201cThoroughbreds are no overbred \u2018racing machines\u2019 but creatures with their own will,\u201d says Marco. This makes it important to recognize the individual temperament, talents, needs and characteristics of every four-legged guest. Marco got to know horses that didn\u2019t show any desire to make an effort in the group training sessions in Seckenheim, and would \u201cexplode\u201d on the same venue during the racing atmosphere there. Some thoroughbreds are like actors that need an audience. \u201cThe horses clearly feel, if a race was good or not \u2014 which can happen due to tactical errors made by the rider as well,\u201d Marco explains. This is why he picks up every single horse he is responsible for from the venue after the race, patting it\u2014no matter whether it was victorious or suffered a defeat. He finds this important.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>Before the First World War, thousands of people used to flock to the old turfs just below today\u2019s Fernmeldeturm telecommunication tower, which now belong to the Luisenpark. These spectators came from all social classes: citizens just as much as Grand Dukes, princes and Royal Highnesses \u2014 illustrating that this open-air spectacle, organized by the Badischer Rennverein club that was founded in 1868, had been famous and unparalleled for decades. At that time, it was not soccer, but horse racing that was the number one discipline. However, after World War II, the club had a hard time: the racecourse stand was largely destroyed by bombing and the authorities then had other plans for the premises, which had only been hired by the club. The future of horse racing at that time in Mannheim was safeguarded by merging this club with another one: the Pferdezucht- und Rennverein Seckenheim with its Waldrennbahn racetrack of 1969 that was soon extended in a common effort.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;The stable business requires teamwork&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Marco well remembers the beginning of racing here: The jockeys still used to be called Herrenreiter (literally: gentleman riders) then and were heavyweights, well above the current 55-kilogramme-limit. The director of the racing stable is constantly on the trot checking the diet for each thoroughbred, scheduling the daily training groups, briefing the blacksmith, who has just arrived, about which horse is to be shoed and the way in which this should be carried out. His phone rings in the meantime \u2014 after all the horse owners have to be informed about training, upcoming race starts or a health condition a horse may have.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_11618\" style=\"width: 1930px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/45_rennstall_marco_klein.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-11618\" class=\"wp-image-11618 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/45_rennstall_marco_klein.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/45_rennstall_marco_klein.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/45_rennstall_marco_klein-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/45_rennstall_marco_klein-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/45_rennstall_marco_klein-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/45_rennstall_marco_klein-1536x1024.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-11618\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Marlene Klein is the first one to be at the stable in the mornings, with oats and very special muesli.<\/p><\/div>\n<p>The stable business requires teamwork: all hands on deck!
