Brigitta Binding

My story with the name Brigitta is dedicated to my grandmother Brigitta Popper. Brigitta was married to Walter Köngeter who is my grandfather. After the second world war, she divorced Walter and fell in love with a Jewish-American solider called Alfred Popper. He convinced her to move with him to the USA. Brigitta , Alfred and the children including my father lived in New York, Boston and settled in Falmouth Maine we're the Family and my Cousins still live. When I was six years old, I visit my grandmother together with my aunt Susanne. I became very Close with her cat Frisky and was climbing through trees with him. One time Frisky bit me though and it scared me. Mae by Frisky got Jealous because I started to play Baseball with the Family and really enjoyed it. My grandma also had horses and this is where my passion for these animals come from. I was spending my childhood and youth with being a vaulter and with horses. When I was about fourteen, the Frisky Trauma happened with a horse. My Parents bought me a horse called Jimmy. In one riding lesson, my coach hit Jimmy hard with a crop. After this, the horse was traumatized and started to buck me off. Since the stable was very snobby I felt very embarrassed and lost the connection to Jimmy.
