It goes without saying that Anky van Grunsven has been one of the top dressage horse riders in the world for the last decade. Her accolades include the gold medal in the 2000 Olympics with her horse Bonfire and gold in the 2004 Olympics and in the 2008 Olympics with Salinero. She dominates World Cup Dressage competition, being named the World Cup Dressage Champion eight times, in 1995, 1996, 1997, 1999, 2000, 2004, 2005, and 2006, 2008. Angelea had a unique opportunity to interview Anky while also training with her at her stable in The Netherlands.
