After completing his apprenticeship, he moved to Walter Günther's Greif stable in Hamburg , where Karin Schlueter stood with her horses, where he became her personal trainer for the next twelve years. Here he also met his future wife Karin Rediske . In October 1971 the two married. When the Greif stable was closed in 1974, Herbert Rehbein accepted Otto Schulte-Frohlinde's offer to come to his farm in Grönwohld and in the following years established the Gröhnwohldhof as one of the most important European dressage centers.

In early July 1997 he died of lung cancer .
