Wolfgang von Scharfenberg brought him on March 1, 1972 as the successor to Burchard Müller for the position of managing director of the breeding department of the German Equestrian Association (FN). He used the following years to restructure the department: in 1975 the common goal of a German riding horse was proclaimed, the stallion performance tests were redesigned and the broodmare tests were introduced. In 1991 the breeding value estimation was introduced. Between 1986 and 1990 he was also the managing director of the German Olympic Committee for Horse Riding (DOKR).

He has been working for the International Equestrian Federation (FEI) since 1986 . Since 2006 he has been chairman of FEI country group II (Northern Europe) and thus a member of the FEI Bureau. In February 2010 he was provisionally elected President of the newly founded European Equestrian Federation (EEF) and officially confirmed in office that same year. In January 2010 he was appointed to the FEI Executive Board.
