Born second January 1981 in Rochlitz and grew up on the farm of his grandparents in Langenleuba-Oberhain.
Since the beginning of his life, he was always excited about working with horses. Hobby turned into a profession, starting with an internship with the German nations cup rider Heinrich Hermann Engemann.

His succeses went on as he worked for Nancy Gooding in USA, where he competed in international show jumping and made many useful contacts for business.
Since February 2007 Matthias leads his own very successful stable in Penig OT Langenleuba-Oberhain.
