Painting of Maestoso II Catrina ridden by Shana Ritter. Painting by Janey Belozer.
Quotes of Dr. Reiner Klimke


  • "In training we must be encouraged to first establish the principles and only then to tackle the details."

  • "Whenever a horse has learned a new movement or a new aid in its basic form, the rider should give him a break and deliberately ride something else for a few days or weeks. When he returns to the movement, he will notice how much more easily the training will proceed."
    (1995; translation: T. Ritter)
