The 51 year old, who has represented Germany at five Olympic Games and won six Olympic gold medals, replaces Kyra Kyrklund in the role. Kyrklund has been chair of the IDRC for ten years, and will now instead take the position of vice-president.
Klaus Roeser was elected as IDRC general secretary, while Michael Klimke, brother of eventing rider Ingrid, was appointed as treasurer.
Founded in 1986, the IDRC represents athletes who compete in FEI events, with its mission being to improve the image of equestrian sport and uphold the spirit of good sportsmanship.
