It's Warm-Up Wednesday here at Dressage Hub and today we have an extra bit of surprise and delight. We found footage of Dr Reiner Klimke schooling in Aachen in a snaffle bridle!
Dr. Reiner Klimke is the most successful dressage rider in the world. Reiner Klimke won a total of six gold and two bronze medals at the Olympic Games.
His Impact on the International Dressage Scene
The success and reputation of German riding is closely linked with one name: Reiner Klimke. The lawyer from Münster was already a riding legend in his lifetime. Together with his horses Dux, Mehmed and Ahlerich Reiner Klimke became one of the most successful riders in history.
At the beginning of his riding career, Reiner Klimke was already impressing with his success in Eventing. He was on the medal-winning Team at two European Championships, part of the 1960 Olympic Games in Rome and won the at the German Eventing Championships before specializing purely in dressage.
In the dressage saddle at the Olympics, he won a total of six Gold and two Bronze medals and was for a very long time one of the most successful German Olympians. Having won six World Championships and eleven European Championships he is one of the most successful dressage riders in the world.
Outside the dressage arena, Reiner Klimke was also a very active representative. As Deputy Chairman of the Sports Commission, he sat in the state parliament of North-Rhine Westfalen from 1990 to 1995. In 1991, Klimke was awarded the Olympic Order of the IOC and was the recipient of all the awards of the German Equestrian Federation. The "L 'Annee Hippique" yearbook chose him as the "dressage rider of the century".
A Training Philosophy Influenced by Classical Dressage
His motto “riding should make horses stronger and more beautiful” is continually heeded, with Klimke training all his horses following classical principles. His most successful and well-known horse was Ahlerich, who died at age 21 from colic. Their ride to Gold at the 1984 Olympic Games in Los Angeles will never be forgotten. The special relationship between them meant they became one in the arena. Elegance, control and precision were the contributing factors for their enormous success.

Dr Klimke called riding his hobby as he worked full-time as an attorney. The "high level riders" nowadays are working full time as trainers/riders and still don't get it right. One of my teachers once said that competition Dressage died with Dr Klimke.

And his legacy lives on in his daughter Ingrid Klimke, who´s not only a world class eventing rider, but also an amazing dressage rider with her horse Franziskus. There are some Masterclass videos of her, training young riders and horses. Everything she´s teaching there is about a light contact to the reins and not pulling, being fair to the horse and still getting the best out of it.

@ranmakuro 7 ай бұрын

@@TheFurryTailFosters This! A balanced, well trained horse can do dressage without a bridle at all, aids only coming from rider's bodyweight, tension, balance shifting and legs. The seat is what gets you riding, not the equipment. Hence all those years riding without any rein as a beginner. Look at his seat! He's so well centered and down to earth. This is what is meant by invisible aids. This is the art of riding that so, so many people try to achieve and fail. Ingrid Klimke besides teaches her students to use a neckrein also.

My first and only time seeing dressage in person was at the Los Angeles Olympics in 1984. The first several riders had me wondering whether I had heard correctly about what dressage was. They seemed floppy, jerky, and uncoordinated. My husband and I left the stands to go see a display of horse breeds away from the arena. When we returned to the stands much later, I was glad to see that the quality of riding was obviously better than earlier. The part I remember best, of course, was Dr. Reiner's victory ride around the arena after the competition. He and his horse did an entire lap with one hand on the reins, and a continuous flying change of leads. It's the most beautiful thing I've ever seen a horse do.

Love the rein back portion, you don’t see him even move nor do you see any movement in his horses poll, just the slightest message was sent with his seat and his horse responded perfectly. Now they have to keep out the press, build a wall to block spectators so people can’t see how they “warm up” the horses. It’s basically become a version of the big lick Tennessee walkers or saddleseat from what I see, hollow backs, big front leg extensions.

This is the beauty of the Scales of Training, it can be used after completion of each level wether it's a 4yr old or a GP horse. Here he is working to achieve losgelassenheit before the working phase when he brings the horse up and the back is warm stretched and without stiffness or tension, this is not Rollkur as a lot of people are confusing it with. The amount of stretch from the horse will be dependent on its age physical development and where it is in the start of warming up. Young horses will take longer that is why good German masters do not do sitting trot under 5/6 years or lateral work under 6/7. Nowadays it's a very different picture. It's the difference between developing a horse and having a strong back or having a horse going into GP with a hollow weak a dipped back that depends on over articulation of legs to maintain forward balanced movements.

it's so nice to watch him ride. I remember watching him and Harry Boldt riding in Germany. It is so sad to see the artificial movements today. I know a lot of that is breeding but a dressage horse is supposed to be in all things a riding horse, not necessarily a carriage horse. I will say, and I'm not necessarily a fan of the person, but I do like Steffen Peters' seat and hands. His hands are 100% correct when he shows. What the artificial movements have done to dressage is produce a lot of riders that actually can't ride the horses because the movement is so big and so powerful. I think it's nice when the horse looks pretty and is ridden correctly, but it has reduced the sport to a very rich segment of people; mostly people who really can't ride, but who have trainers who sometimes can. The good rider with an average horse, even if the horse is very correct does not get anywhere. The horse Dr. Klimke is writing would be today considered substandard.

Aah the good old days, when dressage was supposed to express lightness, gaiety and harmony, and the rider's aids were supposed to be almost imperceptible to the eye. No sweating, frothing mouth, anguished eye rolling, sawing hands, nagging spurs and rider generally looking like they are mashing a large bowl of undercooked potatoes. Although I am involved in other equine activities I have mostly given up watching televised dressage unless it involves a Spanish or Portuguese rider on a P.R.E or Lusitano horse, at least they still express some gaiety. The ruling body should have a big rethink, all warm-up areas should be open to the public and filmable, crank nosebands should be banned, a tack check should be undertaken regarding bit comfort/correct fitting, and rules set for tightness of curb chain. One of the best books on schooling, dressage and high school is Equitation by Henry Wynmalen published in the 1930's, my elderly neighbour gave a copy to me years ago and it is still relevant today.

He did what he preached by taking the horses out twice a day for some easy training and walking in our lovely area. Ingrid was the same. Now however if you look carefully she too is cramming the trot into something not quite correct. When I went for my state exam in Münster (where Klimke did his too!!) we had long discussions regarding Nicole Uphoff and her rollkür. Also the thigh block saddles. Horrible inventions.

Irrefutable proof that the full bridle is unnecessary. Dressage is not about using the bridle to put the horse's head in the "correct" position. It's all about encouraging the horse to reach under it's belly with its hind feet by strengthening the muscles that allow it to do so, which can be achieved by riding the horse in a snaffle. Ban full bridles from the Olympics to prove that the horse does not have to endure two bits.
