Hi Auguste, my main suggestion is that you read and review WP:CITE and [{WP:V]] for more on proper footnoting and the best sourcing of articles. You are doing good work, it needs some improvement, but nothing that studying the wikipedia guidelines won't fix. I made a few edits to your work to show some of what I mean. My main thought it that you need to find English sources wherever possible, as in the field of Dressage, they clearly exist (there are literally dozens, if not hundreds of books out there) and are preferable to having to provide translations from German. One thing you can also do is what you are already doing, and that is to use German sources, but back them up with English language ones. I know enough about Dressage to be of help with you in this process, so feel free to leave a message on my talk page if you have any general questions.
