Ok, I admit, calling me ‘Ingrid’ would be rather
presumptuous. I’m referring to a multi-Olympian in Eventing that is also a top
Grand Prix Dressage trainer and rider, the daughter of the late Reiner
Klimke. She is a role model for so many,
consistently placing in the top of her sport while maintaining classical and
horse friendly training principles throughout. I have several of her DVDs and books, and
I admire how all her horses are cross-trained. Even her top dressage horses
jump or at least have weekly cavaletti-training.
So, making a long story short, yesterday JP and I had the
arena to ourselves. Judy keeps some cavaletti in the indoor, so it was perfect
timing. Both Chambord and Remy really liked that change of routine. We
walked-trotted-cantered over them in various configurations and I swear Remy
had the same big grin on his face as I had after we finished our canter line.
Waterloo Hunter Trials – here we come. All we need now are
about 40 hounds for practice…
And as for calling me ‘Ingrid’: We have the same short blond
hair in common, at least that’s a start!
