Horses have accompanied Serena Hamberg for many years and shape a large part of her life. Whether on the racetrack, in the stable, or at the tournament grounds – her passion lies in equestrian sports in all its facets. As an owner and breeder, she is one of the most influential personalities in Austrian harness racing and has been committed to its further development for many years with great dedication. She is one of the most important pillars of domestic harness racing. Without her commitment and that of the Mayr family from Maishofen near Zell am See as trainers and drivers, the sport in Austria would hardly have been able to develop to the level it has reached today.
With her exceptional mare Face Time Spada, she celebrates her greatest successes on Austria's racecourses. As an owner and breeder, she is among the most successful representatives of harness racing internationally. However, her commitment extends far beyond racing.
Many years earlier, she was part of an exceptional success story in international show jumping. With The Sixth Sense, a horse in her possession wrote equestrian history together with Thomas Frühmann. The exceptional horse developed into one of the most successful show jumpers of its time and was even named the world's most successful show jumper in 2006.
Serena Hamberg has been enthusiastic about show jumping for many years. That's precisely why it was a natural decision for her to support the Longines Global Champions Tour Vienna | Schönbrunn Palace. Even though harness racing and show jumping differ in many aspects, both worlds share a fascination for exceptional horses and the people who work with them daily.
At the impressive backdrop of Schönbrunn Palace, the world's best show jumping horses and riders will meet at the end of September. The Longines Global Champions Tour Vienna impressively demonstrates what is possible through talent, trust, and years of hard work.
For Serena Hamberg, that's exactly what makes the event special. It brings together people from different areas of equestrian sport who share the same passion. Whether on the racetrack, in the show jumping arena, or at home in the stable – in the end, it all begins with a passion for these extraordinary animals.
