When she isn’t out taking names on a cross country course, German Olympian Ingrid Klimke can often be found in the dressage ring. Most recently, she’s been on tour with the 15-year-old Hanoverian stallion, Franziskus FRH (Fidertanz 2 – Antara, by Alabaster), and she’s en route to represent Germany in the FEI World Cup Finals in Nebraska come early April thanks to a string of recent successes.
Currently ranked number 30 in the world among FEI dressage riders, Ingrid has carefully produced Franziskus and his eager way of going into a world-champion caliber ride, plucking off wins in Germany and Poland this season and most recently finishing third and fourth overall at the World Cup leg in Amsterdam. In their freestyle performance, the pair achieved a personal best, scoring an 84.960%.
Take a look at Ingrid and Franziskus’ most recent performance in the video above, and snag your tickets to see, hopefully, Ingrid and a whole slew of other world stars in Omaha, April 4-8.
