Translation:

Horses endanger Olivia's happiness! Lee Kramer is absolutely not happy! The more successful his sweetheart Olivia becomes, the less time she has for him! And when they're finally alone, Lee has to ride horses for his beloved, for his own health and that of Olivia's precious four-legged friends. It's funny that's what makes loverboy Lee sick to death...

Olivia is simply a headstrong woman, no matter how sweet and easygoing she may appear. And when she sets herself certain obligations, she follows through. Like now, for example.

Despite her tours around the world, despite the countless television appearances Olivia travels far and wide for, one thing remains incredibly important: the personal care of her horses.

And Lee Kramer, her steady boyfriend and companion on all her travels, bears a bit of the brunt of this. As you probably know, Lee and Olivia don't live in the same house. Olivia lives on her own ranch in Malibu, and it's precisely because of that ranch and everything that comes with it that the two lovebirds are arguing more and more these days.

Because when Olivia isn't traveling, in the studio, or in front of the cameras, she's at her ranch. To care for her couple of horses and a foal.

Horses are jeopardizing Olivia's happiness!

Personal contact with horses is very important! is Olivia's motto. They bond with a person, just like dogs. That's why I promised myself that I would always pay attention to them. Especially now that there is a foal.

I really wanted to become a veterinarian when I was younger, and although I didn't end up becoming one, I still have the same feelings for animals. I think you should never neglect them...

But it's not just her horses and other pets that stand between Olivia and Lee Kramer, who is of Dutch descent. There's more... Olivia doesn't want to commit herself, for example through marriage. And that has nothing to do with her horses, but with the deeply tragic things that happened to Olivia in the past.

When Olivia was 11 years old, her parents divorced, and that had a huge impact on her.

Like many other girls and boys who have experienced their own parents' divorce, Olivia swore in her teens that she would never marry, that she would never commit to anyone the way her parents had through their marriage. Hadn't that only resulted in heartache and misery for everyone involved?

It is precisely against that old childhood sadness, which is hard for anyone who has experienced such a thing to forget, that Lee Kramer has to fight. Because he cares enough about Olivia to be willing to fight for it.

First comes her career, then the horses, and then... then I! sighed Lee, who does everything to protect his Olivia, recently. And I'll have to live with that.

And he does. Whether she received an honorary medal from the Queen (the so-called OBE, the same award the Beatles received) or not, I still love her!

Photocaptions: Olivia has to divide her attention between her horses, her foal Julia I and her boyfriend Lee Kramer.
Olivia used to dream of a career as a veterinarian and her own stable of horses. Now that she has horses, she wants to give them all her attention. And because he wants to be close to her...
Her friend Lee has to ride until he drops. It's good for his developing belly and his fitness, and he's doing Olivia a huge favor!
