Ahlerich

Ahlerich (1971–1992) 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 (roughly $26,600).

He is the subject of a book written by Klimke, Ahlerich von der Remonte zum Dressur-Weltmeister; ein exemplarischer Ausbildungsweg (1984), published in translation by Courtney Searls-Ridge as Ahlerich: The Making of a Dressage World Champion in 1986.
