Ahlerich

Ahlerich was a Westphalian gelding. With his rider Reiner Klimke, he won the 1984 and 1988 team gold medals in Olympic Grand [Prix dressage] and the individual gold in 1984.
In 1975, Klimke purchased Ahlerich at auction in Warendorf for a record-breaking 42.000 DM.
He is the subject of a book written by Klimke, Ahlerich von der Remonte zum Dressur-Weltmeister; ein exemplarischer Ausbildungsweg, published in translation by Courtney Searls-Ridge as Ahlerich: The Making of a Dressage World Champion in 1986.
