She first went to a riding school at age six. "I grew up in a suburb and the pony madness started early. Our family was forever having to stop whenever passing a field with horses in it. Eventually, at age 10 I got my own pony called Flummi. My mother gave me great support, even though she is a bit afraid of horses." (thehorseridersjournal.com, 15 Sep 2014; horseandhound.co.uk, 02 May 2013; langehanenberg.de, 18 Apr 2011)

A friend at primary school was taking riding lessons and asked if Langehanenberg wanted to join her. "When I was six, I started to ride and at about age 13, I took up dressage. To make horses dance and work every detail with them gives me so much pleasure. My heart is in dressage. I used to jump when I was young, but my pony was very nervous and I fell off often and in every way possible. Even now I'm not the best showjumper. I'm most comfortable hacking out, which I enjoy doing." (ampascachi.com, 08 May 2020; thehorseridersjournal.com, 15 Sep 2014; schlossallee-muenster.de, 21 May 2013)

"I think people and horses should be partners. How should I force a horse of 600 kilograms to do anything? If they don't want to, I can't make them. I think the riders should love to do it, and the horses should enjoy it." (ampascachi.com, 08 May 2020)

She has been presented with the Goldenes Reitabzeichen [Golden Badge] for accumulating 10 wins in competitions of at least class S. (langehanenberg.de, 02 May 2016)

STABLES
She runs Dressur- und Ausbildungsstall Langehanenberg in Billerbeck, Germany, where she trains dressage horses. (ampascachi.com, 08 May 2020; teamdeutschland.de, 04 Dec 2019; eurodressage.com, 28 Sep 2019)

RETIRED HORSE
In 2021 she retired her horse Damsey. "I learned a lot from him, especially acceptance. He gives me his all, but he demands a lot too. And he expects to be taken for who he is. Damsey came to my stable in 2016 and, from today's point of view, it never got boring during that time. I like to call him my 'miracle bag'. He was and always is good for a surprise." (psdressage.com, 01 Mar 2021; fei.org, 01 Mar 2021)

OTHER ACTIVITIES
She has served as an ambassador for the children's hospice service Konigskinder, which supports patients and their families. She has also worked with Italian manufacturer Equilin to design a range of competition clothing for dressage riders. (langehanenberg.de, 02 May 2016; equiline.it, 28 Aug 2015)
