2004 NADTC Symposium at Dressage Center International with Ingrid Klimke and Dr. Volker Moritz

About 70 people braved chilly weather to watch the third annual symposium at Michael Poulin's Dressage Center International in DeLeon Springs, FL, January 10 & 11. Dr. Volker Moritz, "O" Judge, returned for the third year as clinician, this time joined by Ingrid Klimke, international rider and trainer in dressage as well as 3 day eventing.

The theme throughout the weekend was patient, kind riding that adheres to the training scale. Ms. Klimke is an excellent teacher. She is very articulate and encouraging to the riders while still pushing them always to try harder and to ask more of their horses.

Once again, the Poulins and everyone at DCI put on a great symposium with very good horses and riders with an atmosphere that encouraged questions and discussions.
