Olympic gold-medal-winner Ingrid Klimke was born under a bright star
when it came to fulfilling dreams of equestrian greatness. Her father,
the renowned Dr. Reiner Klimke, was an Olympic rider himself, and he
instilled his principles of training and riding with the good of the
horse in mind in his daughter at a young age. Ingrid has furthered her
father's esteemed legacy, modernizing two of the classic works by her
father--the bestselling The New Basic Training of the Young Horse and
Cavalletti--and tirelessly championing a balanced, fair, and caring
system of training the horse that ensures his physical and mental
well-being even while preparing him for the very top levels of
international competition.
And now Ingrid has written a book of her own, detailing her personal
system of bringing a horse along through the stages of progressive
development, and providing readers guidelines and exercises to ensure
success without stress at each milestone. The result is surely a joyful
partnership between rider and horse that will go the distance.
