Before the day’s sporting highlight – the first competition of the Gold Tour Championship – Gaston Glock and his wife Kathrin had a very special treat in store for the riders and the audience:
None other than Baywatch star David Hasselhoff had been flown in from the US to rock the riding arena. With classic party hits such as “Looking for Freedom” or “Limbo Dance”, “The Hoff” absolutely brought the house down.
Kleine Zeitung says David jumped into the saddle of one of the horses and rode around while singing “Looking for Freedom.”
Late Night Encore
After 10pm, events started shifting towards the Riders’ Lounge, where “The Hoff” made sure that everyone was rocking the night away: David Hasselhoff gave an exclusive private concert and insisted on treating the guests to a few encores, once again fueling the atmosphere to the breaking point. The result: the Riders’ Lounge was filled to the rafters with partying riders and guests who were clearly having a whale of a time…
Update: David will arrive at about 18:30 on Friday for the horse show. Then he will be at the rider’s lounge at 22:00. Access to the VIP lounge is 200 Euro.Click here for the program.
David Hasselhoff is set to perform at the Glock Horse Performance Centre in Treffen, Austria today through Feb. 3. The exact dates and times he will perform are not available at this time from the Hasselhoff-Foundation. However, admission is free except of the performance of Andy Lee Lang. They just request a donation of 60 Euros to the Kleine Zeitung action “not in Carinthia”.
Live from L.A. and wildly determined to turn night into day: when Baywatch star David Hasselhoff starts rocking the GHPC, show jumpers are guaranteed to show a different side of themselves. It goes without saying that the Knight Rider will bring all his greatest hits: Limbo Dance, Looking for Freedom and much, much more. If you think of yourself as a party animal, you cannot possibly sit still through all this, so get partying with David Hasselhoff!
It began more than 20 years ago with a letter from a dying child – since then David Hasselhoff has never been able to resist the opportunity to bring a smile to an ill child’s face.
He was at it again yesterday, entertaining patients at Sydney Children’s Hospital.
Inside the Starlight Express Room, surrounded by arts and craft, beanbags and gaming consoles, The Hoff danced, ran in slow motion, sang a duet and had his picture taken with the kids.
It was the latest in a long line of hospital visits around the world that began when he was working on hit ’80s TV show Knight Rider.
“It was the second day on set and a seriously ill child visited me. He left a letter thanking me for teaching him that there’s more to life than pain,” he said.
“When we realise how blessed we are, we should share our blessings and love.”
Excited three-year-old Holly Collins was at the hospital when Hoff arrived yesterday. She said: “The Hoff talked to me when I was sitting on the beanbag.”
Her mother Julie said: “Being in hospital can be tedious so it was great seeing Hasselhoff putting a smile on kids’ faces and being an inspiration.”

Today David Hasselhoff appeared in a motivator type role for Australia’s Celebrity Apprentice as he participated in the celebrity dog wash antics at Sydney Park, Alexandria, in front of an appreciative crowd of almost a thousand (and a few hundred dogs).
The 59-year-old hunk served as the leader of the group straight from the Cremorne’s Orpheum Theatre where they all shot the opening parts of the brand new season of the hit show. The tall American celebrity left everyone somehow starstruck with his presence especially those of the attention of Jason Akermanis and Ian Dickson.
Ian “Dicko” Dickson and Vince Sorrenti appeared to be the most vocal on the megaphone in getting pooch (and Hoff) lovers to part with their hard earned cash. All had to work hard as the celeb dog wash and other doggie activities occurred in 30 something degrees (86 F) heat. Hoff was able to cool off a bit with his young girlfriend and was seen reaching for the sweat rag more than once. Even Batman and The Joker from DC Comics fame showed up for the fun. On the other side of the park, the women’s team got into the spirit of things too, but Hoff’s team drew the biggest crowd 10:1.
When it comes to what his fellow Apprentice contestants have to say about his fast and unstoppable determination to emerge as the winner of the challenge. Even Ben Dark is willing to serve him coffee if Hasselhoff keeps up with all the energy up to the end.
When quizzed about his favourite breed of dog, Hasselhoff joked “Hoff Dog”, which got a nice reaction from the crowd. His shirt removal appeared to get the biggest pop from the crowd and as you would expect news media and fans focused in on Hoff’s chest.
To their credit, event organisers offered water to the crowd. Police were on hand for the event and its understood things ran smoothly throughout.
Thousands of dollars was raised today but we understand you will have to tune into Channel Nine to find out exactly what the final $ bottom line was.
Dressed in overalls for the task, Hasselhoff and his fellow celebrity contestants were also wearing women’s high heels.
