CARL, CHARLOTTE AND VALEGRO Pt 1 - Badminton Horse Trials 2008

[@catbarr924]

Carl has the most fantastic sense of humour, although it is weird to see him on Valegro rather than Charlotte, haha! Lovely riding, Charlotte, really sublime.

Interesting Winston Bond did learn to collect, a big powerful slightly spooky horse now as a ten year old ridden by Paul Friday very nicely. Its nice to look then and now. These big floaty horse are difficult no mistake but as they mature and muscle up more can be expected. Keeping them forward and balanced with a good rythm is the way to go, rewarding the hard parts when they do them by mistake more than anything making a big fuss . Eventualy they come toghether if you're lucky and all goes to plan. Looks like he has! Lovely.

When I worked for an Olympic dressage rider she wouldn't let you ride properly until you mastered stretching down.

ACP!! Ahahhahhhhh!!! Funny Carl!

Carl was so mean to Charlotte she does not answer back at all she should have a mike as well because actually her riding in my opinion is a lot better than Carl’s and I do prefer her on velegro I wish she was on the velegro and he was on that other horse

[@deniseunterman9652]

Lighten up. They have a wonderful relationship w/ tremendous mutual respect & affection. The teasing is part of their banter. Trust me, she gleefully reciprocates the pokes when she has the mic.

I used to like Charlotte but she uses way too mic hand

This was like nearly 10 years ago, you know that right???

[@secretsquirrel7374]

You think? Just look at the Dutch and German riders doing rollkur and compare them to Charlotte.
