(Reuters) - Germany's Ingrid Klimke is best known for her superb record in eventing but the latest addition to her medal collection came in dressage - the discipline in which her late father Reiner was one of the most successful riders in history.

Klimke, now 54, started to work with horses at a very young age and has enjoyed a long and successful career spanning over two decades, winning 15 eventing medals, including two Olympic and two world golds in team eventing.
