Ingrid Klimke is not only well-known for her major victories, but also for her gentle riding style. For her it is important that the horse is handled in a partner-like manner and with respect and that she practices her sport with a huge portion of passion and enthusiasm. Her world-famous motto is: “Ride to your joy!” She will demonstrate how she succeeds in doing so on December 7th, starting at 6.30 p.m. at the grounds of the CHIO Aachen CAMPUS.
