In Klimke's three training DVDs, the Olympic champion shares her key ideas for the successful training of horses. The main components of her training method include dressage exercises to improve suppleness and collection; pole work (cavalletti); lower level jumping obstacles; and basic training for cross-country. Klimke is ably supported in the dressage training component by Major Paul Stecken.
This DVD focuses on the following:
- Dressage: Lateral movement; development of flying changes; collection exercises; use of the curb; dressage outside the arena; and much more.
- Pole work (cavalletti): Gymnastics; circle jumping; improvement of flexibility and cadence.
- Jumping: Gymnastics; "skinny" jumps; turns; distances; and more.
- Cross-country: Canter/gallop training on hills; series of fences and obstacles; jumping into water; drop jumps.
