Germany’s Ingrid Klimke is targeting the Olympics in Paris this summer in both eventing and dressage, with SAP Asha P her possible eventing ride.

Speaking during a talk at Wellington Riding last Friday (1 March), Ingrid said team trainer Peter Thomsen had asked her to do the initial accreditation paperwork for SAP Asha P, explaining: “She was injured the year before last and last year I was injured, but we have a plan for how she could make the qualifications theoretically, so we’ll go for it and see how it works.”
