Schulten -Baumer is partially named in connection with the training of Rembrandt as the inventor of Rollkur. In an interview with Sjef Janssen ( the Netherlands coach dressage and spouses of Anky van Grunsven ), which is regularly cited as an example for the Rollkur / hyperflexion, stated that his system would be totally different from the Schulten- Baumer system. Klaus Balkenhol commented on the issue of the application of the " Rollkur " in Germany in an interview: There were horses in Germany, which have been set low, for example those from the formation of a Dr. Schulten -Baumer, but stood again and again elongation and relaxation in the foreground. But what has made Sjef Janssen in recent years, this was something else.
