Siggi und Anton

Siggi and Anton are the parents of Lena and Hanna and are therefore Dirk’s parents in law.  The two Hildmann seniors offer advice and support wherever needed.  Some of the key issues are helping with the horses, the building of the new facility, advertisement, and assisting in taking care of their grandson Till.  We just wanted to give a little Thanks to both of them.
