Reiner Klimke was a German equestrian who specialized in dressage. He competed at six Olympic Games between 1960 and 1988, missing only the 1980 Games because of West Germanys boycott, and won six gold and two bronze medals in dressage across that span, a total that stood as a record for the discipline for many years.
