Summer Championships Without Ingrid Klimke
Right
after the World Cup Dressage Finals in 's Hertogenbosch,
The Netherlands, German versatility woman Ingrid Klimke
has announced that this summer she won't riding any
championships at all. Reason of her absence on both
the international dressage and eventing scene is that
she will be giving birth to her very first child. Married
one year ago, Ingrid Klimke is very much looking forward
to this new member of the Klimke family.
The 34-year old Klimke will, therefore, not be riding
at any of the German Championships, nor will she compete
at the World Championships in Jerez de la Frontere,
Spain, for which she hoped to qualify. At the same time
with the announcement of her child, Klimke also mentioned
that her father's 18-year old Trakehner stallion Biotop
will no longer be shown at competitions and only going
to be used for breeding.
