Happy ears perked the whole time ~ so sweet! ❤

[@chanteuse1978]

Lots to still develop in this mare, but I love seeing a horse so relaxed and happy in her work ❤

[@jacquirat]

This was thus mare's 1st special and shes only done 1 GP before Lier. This is an incredible start. Of course she needs to build more strength but i think they are a stunning combination & Charlotte rides her sensitively

[@bethbarritt4420]

What always amazes me with these responses from people is how they change the subject. Distract from the evidence is such an obvious technique 😂

[@faibishclassical]

Very good, very nice, she improved a lot, much softer hands, and the horse very happy.

[@user-ls5uw1bz1c]

So clueless are you to true horsemanship. Soft hands have nothing to do with it. She is still controlling a horse with a bit.

[@elkefaber3103]

I am a Fan of the second, Flanell with Semmieke Rothenberger 🐴🤩, a lovely mare with a very unique look and elegance.

[@jonjonwp]

Just imagine how good A and K is going to be in another year as she builds up strength. Lovely soft contact. Flannel did well but leans a lot on the bit. Jovian is a super looking horse that needs time to develop his frame, he is very immature. Hope they go easy on him.

[@user-ls5uw1bz1c]

The horse doesn't need to build up strength. Soft contact is irrelevant. So many people clueless to Dressage and training. The rider is "locked into" a set of training methods that inhibit her growth as a horse woman. The horses suffer as a result. Not all horses are a Velegro.

[@user-ls5uw1bz1c]

Soooo many people confused about Dressage, riding horses, training. Developing horses. If Dujardin was a true horse (woman) she would never need a bit or bridle to ride. She has lots to learn as do so many others.

Ich mag das Pferd, aber es braucht noch deutlich mehr Kraft. Ich finde, der Trab ist gelaufen und nicht auf dem Hinterbein, die erste Piaffe war nicht gut eingeleitet. Eine gute Runde, aber für mich kein Siegerpaar.

[@jacquirat]

Poor mare was doing a dropping before first piaffe transition!

[@winstonsmith8172]

Much better for the future than imhotep. Imhotep like his father has unfortunate conformation and nose markings that always make him look cranked and not flowing

[@elkefaber3103]

Good, only croop high before the piaff and a mistake in ithe ones. And again that marshmellow fluff on her mouth to cover up some mouth issues ? Always in a good frame and very nice transitions 👈

[@MissJools11]

It it is normal for horses to foam at the mouth during or after intense exercise, t it is normal for horses to foam at the mouth during or after intense exercise. When the Horse foams at the mouth, IT DOES NOT MEAN THAT THERE ARE MOUTH ISSUES, WHERE DID READ/HEAR THAT? IT MEANS THAT THE HORSE IS RELAXED AND IS ACCEPTING THE BIT!!!!!!!!

[@user-ls5uw1bz1c]

@@MissJools11 WRONG. The horse "foams" at the mouth only due to the reaction of the metals that make the bit. Copper, Magnesium, Zinc Oxide that make up the bit's metal composition are the result of horses "reaction" of "foaming". Nothing to do with a "soft mouth" or a horse "accepting the bit". So many people clueless to horses, riding and training. That is why the horse industry is falling to doom.
