Olympic Gold medalist Heike Kemmer's FIRST Canadian Dressage Clinic

[Julie Watchorn]

Horse Sport is proud to present Olympic Gold medalist Heike Kemmer on September 25, 26 & 27 at Stirling Hill Farm in King City, ON.

Heike earned her first gold medals at the 1983 European Championships for Young Riders and has remained consistently competitive over the last three decades. Most recently, she was a member of the German gold medal team at the 2008 Olympics where she also won individual bronze.

Heike Kemmer believes in the classic way of riding. Her longstanding cooperation with internationally renowned teachers has given her the necessary knowledge to foster each horse according to its special abilities. Variety in training is of particular importance to Heike: “Variety is my principle”. In addition to daily riding sessions she motivates show and training horses with a combination of work on the double lunge, work in hand, training on the treadmill, free running and lots exercise in fresh air. “Only a well-balanced and content horse can be built up to reach the Grand Prix league”.
