Ingrid Klimke (GER) is the first German rider to win the FEI Classics™ since the series began in 2008 with 2014/2015 being her most successful season in a long and distinguished international career. The daughter of the late Dr Reiner Klimke, one of the most medalled Dressage riders in history, Klimke's "day job" is producing Dressage horses but she has been a key member of the German Eventing squad since 1999.
With her first top horse, Sleep Late, she represented Germany at the 2000 and 2004 Olympic Games, won European team and individual bronze medals in 2005 and world team gold in 2006, and set a German record when second at Badminton in 2006.
With FRH Butts Abraxxas, she won Olympic team gold in 2008 and 2012, plus European team gold in 2011, and was fourth at Burghley in 2013. Riding FRH Escada JS, she won European team gold and individual silver medals in 2013 and world team gold in 2014.
"I didn't plan this or expect to win it (...) now it seems that Germans are able to win CCI4*s! Chris Bartle [our trainer] makes us go all over the world and that gives us confidence. It's great to win extra money like this, which will go straight back into my horses and therefore into the sport."
