General
STABLES
After working as a lawyer and in the marketing department of one of her sponsors, she moved to a stable near Hamburg, Germany. In 2004 she set up her own dressage training stable at her family home in Rheinberg, Germany. (isabell-werth.de, 16 May 2021; FEI Dressage Facebook page, 30 Sep 2020; olympics.nbcsports.com, 18 Dec 2019)

SPORTING OUTLOOK
She is one of the most successful dressage riders to have competed in the sport, winning multiple gold medals at the Olympic Games and the World Equestrian Games [WEG]. "I think about it very, very rarely. I'm glad and it makes me proud that all my hard work has been reflected. The number of medals is not important to me, but the way I brought different horses up. I enjoy developing a vision and therefore I never get tired of it." (morgenpost.de, 24 Jul 2019)

OTHER ACTIVITIES
In December 2020 she was elected president of the International Dressage Riders Club [IDRC]. In 2018 she released her autobiography, 'Vier Beine tragen meine Seele' [Four Legs Carry My Soul]. (st-georg.de, 19 Jan 2021; eurodressage.com, 09 Dec 2020, 06 Jan 2019)
