Global Dressage Forum - Page 3

Systematic Approach of the German Federation

Last part of the Global Dressage Forum was the presentation of the systematic approach of the German Federation, which educates riders from pony level to Grand Prix. It is certainly no coincidence that over 50 % of the German team riders come from the young riders teams, including such famous names as Nicole Uphoff, Isabel Werth and Ulla Salzgeber. National pony trainer Cornelia Endres and junior trainer Hans Heinrich Meyer zu Strohen introduced several of their pupils to the Forum and showed how the system works in practice. Johan Hinnemann, as always a darling of the crowd, demonstrated the last difficult part of bringing a young rider to Grand Prix level with his pupil Marlies van Baalen. Warendorf’s Christoph Hess was the overall presentator of this item and gave explanation about the backgrounds and details of this highly educational item.

Based on a questionnaire, filled in by most of the participants, the decision has already been made by the International Dressage Trainers Club and the Academy, that the third Global Dressage Forum will take place in September/October 2003.
