The basic foundations are in place and now we continue further with the training of the dressage horse. Together with her mentor, Paul Stecken, Olympic champion Ingrid Klimke refines the lateral movements, optimises the flying change and begins with the sequence changes. The development of the collected movements are supported by Wilfried Gehrmann, the in-hand work expert. Rarely does watching riding give one such joy and enthusiasm to try it themselves.

Ingrid Klimke's DVD series " Basic Training for ridden horses" is a masterpiece, with great ideas to incorporate in your riding. In this series her horses are one year further along in their training and on the correct path to advanced dressage.

Video/DVD
Titel : Ingrid Klimke - Success Through Fitness - Cavaletti Training for Sport and Leisure Horses

In this DVD Ingrid Klimke demonstrates how working with cavaletti supports the horse's natural movements. It is much more than just simple gymnastic training. It strengthens, it preserves the horse's health and it improves the basic gaits: Rhythm, power, expression and cadence develop through using higher steps over obstacles.
