A documentary look at the annual CHIO Aachen - World Equestrian Festival in Germany. Aachen has been a major fixture on the international equestrian calendar for over one hundred years.
The presentation includes exclusive interviews with noted course designer Dr. Arno Gego (Germany), legendary riders and trainers George H. Morris (USA) and Nelson Pessoa (Brazil), Grand Prix of Aachen winners Beezie Madden (USA) and Meredith Michaels-Beerbaum (Germany), grooms Clark Shipley (USA) and Katherine Walsh (USA), Dressage superstar Steffen Peters (USA), and Carriage Driving champions Karen Bassett (United Kingdom) and Benjamin Aillaud (France).
The program also features a visit with Hans Riegler, Chief Rider for the Spanish Riding School of Vienna.
“The Aachen story goes far beyond the field of competition,” says Producer / Director Melvin H. Cox. “It combines a historic location at the crossroads of Europe with a kaleidoscope of personalities, disciplines, perspectives and traditions. It is a story of a magnificent organization, consistent evolution, intelligent marketing and a commitment to excellence in all phases of operation.”
“The Spirit of Aachen is a very human story that celebrates the best traditions of the equestrian experience, and the living history of a city that has persevered from the days of Charlemagne and the Holy Roman Empire, through the devastation of World War II and into the modern era – to become a leading high tech center.”
Principal photography was conducted on-location during the 2005 CHIO Aachen tournament by an international production team.
The 'Director's Cut' DVD edition incorporates historic photographs culled from the CHIO Aachen archives.
