FUEGO XII- Grand Prix Freestyle Kur WEG Kentucky 2010

[@oonadarling]

PREs have such tremendous heart and soul! I get the chills watching this, after countless times. And I feel blessed to own and ride a PRE, my heart horse. They are so generous and, as the Spanish say, noble.

[@Chaos.Kraken]

Still my favorite freestyle I've ever seen. I'm so grateful I was able to see it in person.

[@lifesgreat9951]

Am not just writing this because I've had a few drinks, but this is the most elegant, graceful light handed test I've ever seen. They should've won that.

[@GGLaVitaMia]

How come it didn't? Because the halt at the end?

I’ve done a lot of riding but never did dressage. I have great respect for the high level precision needed by horse and rider. Absolutely beautiful. This horse is spectacular.

[@paulinec.3253]

I'm not even Spanish but I cry with emotion every time I watch this performance !

[@kasia9721]

This is the most beautiful dressage freestyle I have ever seen!

[@Jumpireland]

I was so lucky to have been there! It was SPECTACULAR!!

[@loribernard7116]

Wow - that music is just perfection for this routine and this horse. Absolutely beautiful.

[@quizillafreak]

Can we all agree that the one handed down the middle flying changes...is the MOST BALLER move anyone has ever pulled in the dressage ring? Thanks.

[@MaMaGTUrbo]

Perfect Soundtrack for that Partnership

[@jenniferhall2318]

This is definitely my favourite test of all time... not only is it SUPER accurate, but it just makes you want to dance along with it! ^^ Fab pair

[@Patty.29675]

THIS horse Just Gives Me Chills.😂🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@Karime18]

The horse is beautiful and cute at the same time. It looks like he's having a great time/fun which is what it's all about.

[@Shiba_Draws]

Amazing! And seeing him praising Fuego while riding and still performing is awesome 😍

[@judygreenwood4696]

Brilliant

[@sallymiller5101]

I have watched this many times and it is the inspiring and exhilarating dressage performance i have ever seen. Shivers down my spine watching it xx

[@DeborahCothran]

I just had a massive cloud of joy flow over me while suffering the loss of a friend. This horse helping to heal. What a beast of beauty!!

[@santiagoporret5247]

The horse scared by the celebration at the end lol 😂❤ cool test!!!

[@Vinnie-pu9vw]

I love this test, horse and music in perfect sync, this is how dressage to music is done, maybe not super accurate, but full of character, bravo, I’ve watched this God knows how many times and will watch it many times more.

[@thisirishcobcan]

And the horse is actually using its back. Not hollow like 99% of others that score so much better. He should have won based on the fact the horse has been taught to lift through the back.

[@МаринаЕвграфова-й4ъ]

Absolutely gorgeous horse and what an outstanding performance from horse and rider. ❤️

[@sophiedesmond2273]

I’ve been obsessed with this routine since I first saw it on tv in 2010 and tbh I’m still envious of the folks who got to see it in person. dressage can be thrilling!

[@windypoerwono6110]

The pair loves each other......

[@dgarzaart2000]

Dressage judges always favor the Hanoverians, Trakhners. etc over the Andalusians. Personally I think the Baroque horses excel at dressage. The Andalusian stallion is the hardest working stallion. Beautiful horse that Fuego XII!

[@jaanstephenswhite572]

Agree 100%

[@gravyjones5608]

Spanish horses are superior, no question

[@jamesconner8374]

I know that's so true! But horse have been a incredible part of world history in sosny forms..a noble animal despite breed or service. My beloved tiny Galecino stallion was a pleasure to ride but a honest hard working ranch horse. I rode patrol for the largest state fair, even on thei mob riot Tx/ OU blowout game night with all the drunken violence. My sweet boy remained willing to do my bidding even as crowd had pulled him to the ground. I could see the whites of his bulging eyes but he faithfully stayed still instead of ploughing idiots over. I got people clear of him and dashed to another downeduch bigger horse. I got my stallion to keep changing leads and spinning to back people off downed, terrified horse and rider. The next, calmer day I warmed him up but didn't know we had audience as we did some dressage to shake off previous night of terror. At a certain point, we have to leaf/ clear way for parade. As we got to our route to clear, my stallion nicked a bit but soon quieted when asked. A big beautiful greating stallion and rider. Joined us. His looked huge and magnificent compared to my tiny 900 lb boy. The rider was awaiting his cue. Suddenly, they broke into perfect dressage to music. So, my boy wants toove with them so we followed with slight delay and mirrored them. At end, I dismounted and mine bowed. The mystery rider asked where I'd got my fine tiny mare. I laughed. I raised him and his twin. Who trained him? I said he's a cow horse but used for lessons. Then I told him he was a stallion. In didn't believe me. Spin checking, both stallions were cooluch to my surprise he was horse master of Mideavil Times.. I explained mine was a Galecino but a true pleaser. Magical night toret and shadow such devoted discipline. We parted ways but I can ç

[@NicBrookeIsHere]

This is absolutely beautiful! Anyone who was able to see this in person is VERY lucky.

[@horseman888]

I just watched this for the first time and it was a fantastic performance. What amazed me the most was the horse had so much extension and power but when asked to simply walk he was so quiet and calm almost asleep and then he got right back into the routine. Most horses I see doing this are all foamed up at the mouth and sweating this guy was cool as a cucumber what a horse.

[@horse-lover68]

Wow!! He is amazing!! Soft hands,, no spur's, the horse is easy and loves it!!

[@vanished3306]

Ok, so this was lacking technically, but OMG! One handed 2x Tempe’s AND flying changes on the curve!?! Outstanding! What a gorgeous horse! The music was perfect, just stunning to watch!

[@livetwice7702]

Love Fuego , it’s his colour that is mesmerising, he actually looks like burnished silver

Loathe modern dressage but this superb pair is an exception. Compared to warmbloods, etc., the lightness, collection, and effortless elevation and springiness is just incomparable! The baroque horses far exceed every other breed. This is how it should look, exquisite!

Unglaublich tolles Pferd! Schade, dass die Spanier so diskriminiert werden!!!!! Wenn ein Deutschessportpferd diese Gänge hat, wird es zum Helden, beim Spanier heißt es nicht gewünscht.

[@NoName-lh2id]

aber warum denn eigentlich?😕

[@LB-nc2ld]

No Name Es sein Ausländer.. auch im Reitsport gibt es eine Art Rassismus, wenn mans ganz blöd ausdrücken will... viele Spanier und die Ausländer insgesamt, haben nicht so ein Talent wie Fuego, in der Bewegung den Sportpferden nahe zu kommen. Zu wenig HH, dafür zu viel Knieaktion usw usw.

[@prabitagurung9384]

[@andreanundal6109]

Look at the tail!!! Wonderful

[@CatchLightAnne]

Feeling nostalgic during covid bs and, of course, finding comfort in dressage. Re-watched Upholf/Rembrandt epic test and placed Werth in the saddle lol. Watched Carole Lavelle and Gited too. Old heros of mine, particularly Carol's bombastic warm-up Aachen video commentary. Ms Lavelle called out rollur back in the 1980's. I know Diaz's steed is dead. Is Carole still with us?

[@Darkwerewolf56758]

I do dressage to but this is really pro👍👍👍

[@luciafortunato6972]

[@idawolfta]

Ich finde es sind die schönsten Pferde für die Dressur 😍🐴

[@riverp9019]

Americans love a good show. And indeed this is a very electric showy performance, they always are, with the use of the music highy entertaining . My only gripes and i guess this is indeed normaly reflected accurately by judges is that you get the impression a lot of the movments have been trained in a rather circus orientated manner. The flick of his hands to keep the head up in the extended canter , the same restless hand syndrome keeping the horse piaffing etc. I believe he couldn't ride this test with still hands, the horse would retract behind the vertical and all would be lost. The extended trot too does not show true extension over the back, up tp the poll but rather a very just tense neck and back with legs flicking. Sadly I saw this example compared favourably to Totilas's extended trot which had an even worse hollow tense back and neck. So entertaining but is it correct dressage, probably not so much.

[@christinedoyle9212]

There is nothing like a horse I love them all

[@riverp9019]

Exactly. And of course it's never the horses fault. I get goose bumps everytime I approach a horse in a field my own or anyone elses. I love they way they fill the eye, this BTW is a mark of a good horse.@@christinedoyle9212

[@CityThatCannotBeCaptured]

They say that there are horses in Heaven.

[@julijopeterson7096]

Yes. There are horses in heaven. Jesus’ comes back to earth on a white horse. A lion sits on the right hand of God’s thrown. So animals go to heaven especially ours as believers. They probably live near our houses that Jesus’ is making for us now. We’ll see our animals when we go up there. Many people who have died, gone to heaven, then returned to earth can testify to having seen their animals & their houses so all of this is accurate, true & real biblically.

[@sanmat1099]

That's a beautiful horse but I've read that when the tail is switching all the time, it means the horse is uncomfortable or unhappy?

[@Bed8Biscuits]

It can be, but also for balance, thus horse was concentrating very hard listening to the requests, see his ears too.
