This beautifully illustrated new biography of dressage superstar Klaus Balkenhol delivers both an engaging personal history of the man and an education on his mission to uphold the classical tradition in dressage. Intertwined with fascinating personal anecdotes and stories of Balkenhol's most famous mounts, the book shares Balkenhol's practical tips for choosing the right horse, adjusting the training scale to accommodate different rides, and correcting specific upper-level training problems. The photographs throughout highlight Balkenhol's impressive record at the highest levels of world competition, including two Olympic golds and an individual bronze, along with innumerable German, European, and World Cup wins. A look ahead to Balkenhol's future plans, which include coaching the U.S. Olympic dressage team, confirm his dedication to the best possible training for horses and riders.
