André Thieme was born as the son of Michael Thieme, a dressage rider and “Obersattelmeister” of the state stud in Redefin. At the age of 19, he received the “Goldene Reitabzeichen”, a mention for ten victories in dressage competitions on high level of difficulty. Thenceforth he focused riding show jumping competitions.[1][2]

Thieme is a professional show jumping rider and master horse farm manager (“Pferdewirtschaftsmeister“). In 2007 he was second at the championship of the German professional show jumping riders. In 2009 and 2010 Thieme was the most successful rider of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern.[3][4] He was several times part of German Nation Cup teams in Eastern Europe and North America.

He lives in Plau am See in the north-east of Germany together with his wife and his son; his horses lives in a stable in Leizen near Röbel since April 2012.[5] Since 2010 Thieme has much success at horse shows in big horse shows in North America, where he lives some months in the year.[6]

The first main success in the career of André Theime was his victory in the 78th German show jumping derby in Hamburg. He was the second rider from the former German Democratic Republic (after Holger Wulschner in the year 2000) who win this competition. The Derby is a world-famous show jumping competition over special natural fences. In 2008 he won the derby a second time,[7] in 2011 a third time.

His probably biggest success in his career so far was the win of the 2011 $ 1,000,000 Grand Prix in Saugerties, New York. For this event he had qualified in spring at national tournaments in Florida.[4][8] In March 2014 he win the Great American $1 Million Grand Prix at Ocala, Florida riding Contanga.[9]
