Ich hatte nie irgendein Idol in meinem Leben, war nie Fan, aber Rainer Klimke hat mich so beeindruckt dass ich immer so reiten wollte wie er U seine Tochter, sie haben meinen größten Respekt!!!
Is it me or is the commentary of back so much better than today?! 🤔 No annoying music, simple yet descriptive comments to the point and, I think, gives some information about what is going on that non equestrian could follow what is happening.
@@susannehamm5298 Rough definitely not, the horse occasionally grimacing means the rider did something bad, yes, but it's nowhere near as common as others, and it doesn't necessarily indicate that the rider is being rude to the horse, he's just hitting something wrong. There's a difference between bad and rough for me, and at least at home, outside the pressure of the competition, he rode really nicely. About hind legs activity, I agree with the piaffe. But then there are canter pirouettes and canter in general, and his horses have a very nice one, and very low, at least compared to normal, their canter is really top. Even extended trot is pretty nice. I know it is not perfect, but stil i think it is beautiful. Ty for reading, srry for my english, have a nice day, possibly for an answer.
Modern dressage "riders" have no excuse for their destruction of the sport when they have such an exquisite model in Reiner that they could be emulating.
The thing is, if you want to showcase more extreme and showy movements, which undeniably do look impressive, you don't have to resort to rollkur and basically physically forcing the horse to get them. Just look at 'haute ecole' as showcased by the famous Lippizaners. There's no stress on display, the horses are performing within their limits yet doing spectacular things. Stallions in the wild at times will arch their necks and tuck their chin right up to their chest while throwing their legs out in an effort to impress a mare or scare off a rival. It's an instinctive display you can build on with gentle training methods, no coercion required.
. “ ‘I try to ride in dressage, so the spectators must look,’ the gray-haired and soft-spoken Klimke said after receiving a score of 1,797 (71.88 percent). ‘In this test, this was his best ever.’ ” Grand Prix score 1984 Los Angeles Olympics. 7l.88% - far from 100%.
Un cavallo decontratto montato con sensibilità, perizia e grande talento, questi filmati ci fanno ben capire quanto oggi in dressage molti anche blasonati cavalieri ed amazzoni si siano allontanati dai principi dellequitazione classica , producendo show di grande effetto che più che con l'equitazione hanno a che fare col circo e con l'abuso sui cavalli. Speriamo si torni alle origini quanto prima!
A vast contrast to the dressage of today. What has happened to the extended trot. The horses are so squashed together that they can't extend. More often than not behind the vertical and looking uncomfortable. The riders are being rewarded by the judges for this type of training. Bring back the ways of Klimke for the horses and the sport. It will only change if the judging changes.
This horse was agitated in his mouth, no lift in the passage, very bad piaffe and behind the vertical in one of them. Canter work was better, changes well done. Nothing here that can't be seen as better by some horses today.
40 Jahre schon her und leider vor 25 Jahren verstorben. Wie der Papa so die Tochter. Würde mir wünschen das es wieder mehr in diese Richtung geht. Kein übertriebenes gestrampel mehr. Aber da sind die Richter gefordert.
True, it was lacking energy. I wasn't all that impressed with the walk either, could have a bit more overstep. However, his changes/half-passes and tempis were lovely. I just love how relaxed his horse looks. No BTV like you see today. It makes me cringe!
And note in the piaffe how he handled it gracefully. No force and arguing. It wasn't going to happen, moving on. No sense losing the relaxation. Unlike today's cramming and jamming that I see as an adult amateur. This was my idol as a young rider, and it still stands. Timeless technique
I noticed that more testing nature too. A true test of the horse’s flexibility, engagement, obedience and relaxation as compared to the circus performance tests of today which seem to be written to reward flinging the front legs about and downplay incorrectnesses. Consider poll position (by the rules the highest point of the neck), head (by the rules vertical or slightly ahead of the vertical but never behind), ability to show difference in frame (flexibility) and cover ground in extended gaits. All these now seem seem to be disregarded by the judges except in the most extreme, impossible to ignore cases.
Conrad Schumacher would say that Klimke has “the breathing leg.” (Did he learn to appreciate that by studying Klimke or did they have teachers in common?) Klimke would have remarked “tail pending” as he so often does in his training videos. Even the vigorous swings in the tempis look happy!

Such exquisite soft hands. Dressage of the highest calibre.
One of the best riders of the history
Ich finde seinen Reitstil schrecklich und auch grob. Sein Pferd trägt hinten nicht.

Truly amazing man - so privileged to have seen him perform live many years ago
Pure Class never to be seen again!!!! Maestro!! 🙏🏆🏅❣🐎🐎🐎
Also the piaffe?
Perfection & such finesse even in the most difficult movements! What talent, & refinement!
Perfect? Piaffe at 2:01?
That's not perfect

Lovely ride but wow can I just say, his seat is pretty awesome too.

"poetry in motion" ....
The beautiful invisibility of the aids.
Are you...are you joking?
@@SoozUK ah, ordinair wijf dat niets weet!
I grieved so when Reiner Klimke passed ...
And classical dressage is the worse for his passing.
Er hat die Dressur erfunden!! Meinen größten Respekt an Familie Dr.Rainer Klimke !
I was there this was just amazing
The person I hope to become like .
40 Jahre schon her und leider vor 25 Jahren verstorben. Wie der Papa so die Tochter. Würde mir wünschen das es wieder mehr in diese Richtung geht. Kein übertriebenes gestrampel mehr. Aber da sind die Richter gefordert.
Only complaint about this is the piaffe but the rest is wonderful

Wonderful!
That is a harder test than the current test....those one times to the second pirouette.....doubtful that many could complete that today.
This is pretty much the same test as the one that is ridden today ;)
