The name Klimke is synonymous with good riding. The late Dr Reiner Klimke was the most successful dressage rider in the world – not only was he an Olympic gold medallist, World Dressage Champion and European Dressage Champion, but also European Horse Trials Champion. All his victories and medals were won on horses he had trained himself.
His daughter Ingrid Klimke follows in the footsteps of her famous father. An Olympic and European gold medallist, she is one of very few riders to have achieved major successes at the highest level in both dressage and three-day eventing.
