Heike Holstein (born 10 December 1971) is an Irish equestrian. She competed at the 1996 Summer Olympics, the 2000 Summer Olympics, the 2004 Summer Olympics and the 2020 Summer Olympics.[1]
In 2019 the Irish dressage team qualified for the first time in history a team for the Olympic Games. Due the postponement of the Olympic Games, some of the Irish team members fell out and the Irish Equestrian Federation decided not to send a team to Tokyo. Now, Holstein will represent Ireland individually at the 2020 Olympic Games for the fourth time in her career. She will compete aboard the home-bred mare Sambuca.[2]
Heike's family is closely involved in the equestrian sport. Her mother Gisela Holstein is a horse trainer and an international dressage judge. Her brother Erik Holstein competed in showing and rein classes. Heike herself was a pupil of Reiner Klimke.[3]
