Reiner Klimke, from The Quotable Horse Lover

Klimke and Pascal

Remembering Reiner
"When your horse has reached his potential, leave it. It's such a nice feeling when you and your horses are still friends"
- Dr. Reiner Klimke, Olympic Dressage Gold Medalist for Germany, quoted in HorsePlay Magazine.

"My horses are my friends, not my slaves" Dr. Reiner Klimke.

Shown here is Dr. Klimke and his retired international partner and 'friend' Pascal who at 20+ years has had a place of honor in the barn in Muenster. Whenever 'The Dr' would walk into the barn Pascal would always know, and come for the affection he could count on.
