There is no doubt that the fiery and brilliant Salinero will go down in history as one of the all-time great dressage horses. Teamed up with Dutch rider Anky van Grunsven, they have swept many huge international competitions including the European Championships, three consecutive FEI World Cups, and an individual gold medal in the 2004 Olympics.

At the 2006 World Cup Finals, Anky and Salinero set a world-record for their top score of 87.925% in the Grand Prix Musical Freestyle, their specialty. Their freestyle, which was composed especially for Salinero and named Salinero’s Suite, gets high scores for both artistic and technical merit. Whenever they perform, the crowd thickens and a hushed expectancy fills the air. The audience knows they are about to see something extraordinary!
