Ingrid Klimke Just Paul: The Making of a Dressage Horse MSRP $49.95

This is part one and covers the first year of training. Master of classical dressage training Paul Stecken works with Ingrid Klimke and her beautiful young Oldenburg gelding Just Paul in this ninety minute 'unedited' production.

Some good tips on how to avoid over-facing the young horse during the early times under saddle while still demanding mental focus and activity across the back. Included are the beginner work and home schooling for the first show, a visit to the German show for the first outing and the entire test is shown, plus the horse taking his first hack. A great viewing and good insights for those who want to learn how Grand Prix horse producers start them out.

Letters to the Editor.

"Dear Editor:
Really enjoyed reading about what to do for my horse in cold weather. I am sure it helped him and me. Only suggestion I'd add is it didn't mention heated water buckets. Thank-you for bringing us help and everyone together. I check the events page regularly and it is good to know what I can do where." Linda F. Troy, NY

Editor's Note:
Thanks Linda. You are right the article didn't mention heated water buckets and should have. Also suggest that if using heated water buckets be sure to check the wires and connection safety on a regular basis and be sure they are well protected from access by horses.
