S7E9. Kenneth Vinther

From his home in Newbury Park, Thousand Oaks, Hobro-born Danish professional rider and horse trainer and abstract painter KENNETH VINTHER reflects on moving to California via Germany in his 20s, and on his career competing with and educating show jumping horses. He highlights his best horse, a Holsteiner named Colicchio, once the best in class on the US west coast, and the difference of riding between Denmark and the US — the former as an everyday sport, the latter as an elite one. ----------For today's episode, Kenneth Vinther chose Asger Jorn's Skrevet i sand: Alpona, or Written in Sand: Alpona, from 1971 from the collection of the National Gallery of Art.https://open.smk.dk/en/artwork/image/KMS9104 ----------Photographer: Zac Taylor----------This conversation with Tina Jøhnk Christensen occurred on April 11, 2025.----------We invite you to subscribe to Danish Originals for weekly episodes.
