Career history

 

Ulla Salzgeber was born on 5th August 1958 in Oberhausen in the Rheinland area of West Germany. Now at 1.80m tall, slim and dark-haired, Ulla's honest and straightforward approach will come as a breath of fresh air - although for those who do not know her it may come as a bit of a shock!  Ulla has demonstrated that in the training of both horse and rider, continuity and discipline are essential elements. In the competition arena her nerves of steel can also be useful! Above all, Ulla is totally committed to furthering her sport and art: that of classical dressage.

At 10 years old Ulla started vaulting and then early on concentrated on dressage.  In 1977, she became a member of the  German Junior/Young Rider 'C-Kader' /Team. She participated in her first Young Riders European Championships in Leverkusen (Germany) the same year.

Her first two horses trained by herself to Grand Prix level, 'Lutz' and 'Glenfiddich', helped her to an impressive number of placings and victories including Grand Prix Special

She owes her solid basic dressage training to the world's best trainers such as Fritz Tempelmann, Harry Boldt, Willi Schultheiß and especially General Albert Stecken. The following photo galleries show a short summary of their numerous "way companions" and their official appearances:
