Description
"Just Paul, " one of Ingrid Klimke's promising youngsters, is the star of a long-term film study documenting the talented dressage horse's entire training. The series offers viewers the opportunity to experience how an Olympic champion trains her horse "live" and uncensored.
Here in Part 1: The First Year of Training, the three-year-old Oldenburg gelding makes his first strides under saddle; his first hack, his first jumps, and his first competition. The fact that things do not always go smoothly and that time and again even a world champion faces training challenges makes this documentary most appealing. The Olympic dressage stallion "Damon Hill" followed the same path when he was in Ingrid Klimke's training program maturing from young horse to Grand Prix winner.
Paul Stecken, a revered master of classical dressage training, and trainer of Ingrid's late father Reiner Klimke, completes the "dressage training dream team. " In the arena sessions he instructs Ingrid and provides invaluable insight and advice. Every rider will benefit from his endless wealth of experience, his consistent approach and his fine teaching.
