About Ulla Salzgeber

  • Ulla Salzgeber (born 5 August 1958 in Oberhausen) is a German equestrian and Olympic champion who competes in the sport of dressage.
  • Competing in the 2000 and 2004 Summer Olympics, she won two team gold medals, one individual silver and one individual bronze.
  • She also won numerous medals at the World Equestrian Games, Dressage World Cup and European Dressage Championships.
  • After the retirement of her Olympic horse, Rusty, after the 2004 Games, and unexpected death of her second international-level mount in 2005, Salzgeber struggled to find a new Grand Prix-level horse. In 2005, she took time from competition to act as the dressage training adviser to the Australian national equestrian team, but resigned from that position in late 2006.
  • In 2008, she began riding Herzruf's Erbe at major events, but the horse has been plagued by injuries that have required him to miss many competitions.
  • Salzgeber announced a change in her training base in July 2016, moving to new stables in Ettringen, Bavaria.
  • In 2013, after returning Herzruf's Erbe to competition, Salzgeber was again named to the German equestrian squad's A-team.
