Kyra has developed a system of training horses that combines the core elements of the German and Swedish systems with her own, unique, techniques. The system has been applied to many different horse and rider combinations with great success. During the European Championships in Turin several (former) pupils were competing: Jan Brink, Emma Hindle, Nathalie Zu Sayn-Wittgenstein and Imke Schellekens-Bartels. 

Kyra Kyrklund will show different trainig techniques at the Global Dressage Forum.

In 1967 Kyra participated in her first competition, the Nordic Cup in Lahtis, Finland. After winning two classes, the chef d'equipe of the Finnish jumping team asked if she and the horse, called Dragon, would like to join the team. With Kyra on the team, Finland won the Nordic cup and individually she was placed second.

Two years later, Kyra's parents bought her first horse, Kasper. That same year, Kyra participated in three different Finnish junior championships. She won the dressage competition, was second in the eventing and fourth in the jumping - all with Kasper.

Now Kyra is a world-class trainer and rider and gives a lot of demonstrations and clinics al over the world. Few riders in the world have managed to train and successfully compete so many different horses in international Grand Prix dressage. Kyra has obtained this exceptional result fourteen times, with Piccolo, Nör, Matador, Ramon Navaro, Edinburg, Vancouver, Flyinge Amiral, Midt-West Ibi-Light, Dakar, Patrick of Finland, Master, Asterix, Lillemarkens Arkibal and Max.
