Glitz and Glamourdale! ✨ | ECCO FEI World Championships 2022

[@LancelotHest]

I’ll never forgot when I sat there and watching them and the second her first extended canter started, everyone around us started went like “omg that canter” and you can hear it as well on the video. I was there to see Cathrine Dufojr primary, but this was definitely one of the most memorable things I’ve ever witnessed.

[@jesseglennshaw4204]

That extended canter, made me cry, happy

[@DebbieFrost-hp3un]

This is amazing made me cry great horse and rider

[@larstreffen4067]

Im a german and i dont know anything about horses, which minute?

[@oliviergombert698]

Super belle performance !! Félicitations !!❤❤ Elle est trop forte !! ❤❤❤❤❤

[@zantawolf]

Originally horses trained for warfare like this. Knights trained their war horses to do this. Beautiful.

[@friedemi6113]

This is so rare! Either the rider must be a musician and a real genius in timing her aids. Or the horse can react to the music by itself! Absolutly amazing!

[@h0neyfr0g15]

It’s the rider. You don’t want the horse to memorize the course or they will react too early and can mess it up.

[@lauralvw8445]

Horses have rhythm and move to the beat

[@veronikatvrda5524]

It's both actually, with perfectly prepared music, too!

[@Mia05877]

Believe it or not it’s actually the whole rider doing this, a horse can’t naturally do this without aids, it takes years for this perfection with the horse and rider. It looks very simple and easy which is what dressage is exactly for, dressage judges look for riders with freestyles that look very simple and looks like the rider isn’t even trying but I won’t lie our butts are working so hard in reality which is most likely why people say we look like we aren’t trying, because we make it look so simple and smooth.😂

[@Cocytus]

Probably a mix of both.

[@jennifersilves4195]

You can really see the strength work she's done with this horse. All that passage and the absolute elevation in the trot and canter. That free shoulder comes from tremendous core strength.

[@dog2484]

Free shoulder 😆😆😆open mouth constantly, behind the vertical always, crampy back. This horse is an abused wreck. Learn reading horses

[@nearestbackyardlobotomy]

finally someone that spoke. That horse is CLEARLY behind the vertical and its making so hard to breathe for him, you can literally see how stressed he is.. Its actually sad that so many people are taking inspiration from this horrible riding. also so many gates are broken, its just sad.@@dog2484

WOW!!! Just wow. The two best things - other than Glamourdale fitting the music - is there is no wringing of his tail and her head is still. You see some of the head movements almost make one sea sick. Beautiful to watch again and again. Plus the crowd obviously enjoyed it, and his expression at the end!!

[@T2211D]

Well ofcourse his head is not moving if you pull it so close to his body that his neck grows stiff.

this was awesome, I watched the first time without sound and it was epic showmanship but realizing how it had music and that horse and rider being so talented.. she deserved gold

[@gdcorp8771]

Oh Lottie! How Proud your Mum would be! (She Is) ❤️ I remember studying over and over her transitions, positions, and the way she'd whisper to the needed muscle of her horse. They'd glide into the next movement like perfect dance partners. You can most definitely tell you are indeed Laura's daughter. You are a highly disciplined, quiet in hand and a very loving handler and partner. The thing I admire the most is the encouragement to keep your own good spirited cheekyness. *Your music compilation was Ingenious and truly Beautiful! Songs from when your Mum & I were hip. Lol (Or thought we were). Your choreography was Insanely Amazing! The statement you two make as you come out... Literally seems to say. "Each one of you is biting the dust. So stand aside and watch how it's done!" ~ then they did~

[@lizbignell7813]

Not since the other Charlotte and Valero has a freestyle performance moved me to tears. Well done, Lottie.

[@teresa9760]

I love how some horses are silent in the front end and dance their hips with their back end showing off during the single flying change of leads. Then there are other horses, like her, dance in the front end and are silent in their back side. She had such enjoyment changing leads and with the music. Either was is beautiful when the horse is enjoying it. ❤❤❤❤ i just love this beautiful pair. ❤

[@LeahLa17]

@@angelaschmalzbauer I'm no fan of the vast majority of modern dressage whatsoever, but things have definitely improved, Carl and Charlotte started what we're now seeing with Lottie Fry...compared to the excruciatingly heavy handed competitors , Lottie Fry is lightness itself ( for dressage). Improvements were very badly needed for years, for horse Physical and emotional welfare...this was actually a massive improvement, and Carl, Charlotte and now Lottie are responsible for current less harsh,less horribly restrictive riding, and all the future improvements from the more caring riders.

[@royalwhisper]

This performance goes straight to the heart of everyone who sees it whether they know horses or whether they don't and I felt a little silly about crying over myself until I read all these other comments the beauty and perfection of this partnership does indeed bring tears of joy to your eyes well done Lottie and glamordale
