“On becoming a Lieutenant in 1912, Manfred’s father gave him a fine mare which he called Santuzza. The life of a young officer in a regiment of Uhlans reqired him to excel on horseback and von Richthofen actively participated in jumps and races, gaining several prizes but collecting a broken collar bone in the Kaiser Prize Race of 1913.”
