Goose bumps, this is just WOW, watched it hundreds of times, and I still get tears in my eyes! This is what dressage should look like!

[@keithallsebrook2797]

I've watched this so many times. It's the best I've ever seen in a connection between horse and rider!!

[@CatchLightAnne]

Best freestyle ever and I never get tired of watching it. Nothing compares to these two.

[@marie-theresearens159]

For me, is number one without any doubts; real dressage, with life, not a horse transformed into a mechanic, rigid, not free, not alive, not one with his rider

[@J.K.649]

I love this horse and this rider. Fuego and Juan Manuel are soo beautifuls.🐴🥰💕

[@KatrinaMess]

The rider is classily trained in the Spanish/ Iberian style. The criticism I read of hands is absurd! The history of dressage is cavalry training, which is what I got from Granddaddy who was in Military school in the 19 teens. One hand needs to be free for a weapon, a lasso, to tip a hat in a park. A horse ridden with legs instead of German bridle torture is a useful companion. His hands are fine. You pursue artifice with low still hands.

[@MAIRCA]

I actually liked his hands they seemed quiet and from what I saw pretty gentle

[@charmainelee8815]

Concur with your comment bravo.

[@777maura]

He hardly used them, whoever wrote that can't see very well.

[@sandrakilminster7788]

One of the very few times that I have felt joy whilst watching a performance. When will this prejudice against PRE horses disappear. Wonderful to see a horse happy in its mouth, really swinging through, and a rider who cares!!!!

[@se9f282]

Fuego's trot was nearly a Spanish Walk. PRE/Andalusians are the most beautiful of all.

[@christianeschiele901]

The Olympic Games most beautiful Dressage EVER!!! Littele mistakes? Perhaps. Doesn't matter! Rider and horse without fear to make mistakes. Chapeau!!

[@laurenbennett7141]

I mean Valegro is of course awesome. But this is my favourite horse ever to watch I always come back to this video and have now named our new colt Fuego after this horse. Almost makes me cry watching this it's just so brilliant!

[@Jefferdaughter]

Thank you, Spain, for Juan Manuel Munoz Diaz and Fuego XII!! This ride still gives me goose bumps every time I watch it. Please, no matter what the FEI judges say, please keep entering magnificent horses and riders like these so the world can see what dressage is supposed to look like. Gracias!

[@nasus1401]

Was für ein Ritt! Ich hab es mir schon gefühlte hundert Male angeguckt und bin immer noch unendlich begeistert! Wenn ich nun an die ständig siegreiche IW denke, dann sind das Welten dazwischen. Nie wird sie einem Fuego und seinem Reiter Juan Manuel Munoz Diaz das Wasser reichen können.

[@user-cg7uv3mh9f]

Totally agree with you.

[@SnidgetAsphodel]

Honestly in a lot of dressage competitions and tests, it always appears as if the judges have some bias against PRE horses in dressage. It happens almost every time, no matter how wonderful the horse did. It's ridiculous.

[@PhebusdesTours]

@@SnidgetAsphodel It feels like the judges have some bias against Iberian horses in general. At the Tokyo Olympics, the Portuguese rider Rodrigo Torres and his Lusitano Fogoso delivered an impressive performance, and he was put behind Carl Ester who tried to put his horse's croup at the higher point, not to mention Jessica von Bredow-Werndl who got the golden medal while her horse had a hollow back all along. Sometimes I wonder if I still understand dressage.

[@patrisuero1331]

The most astonishing Kur I have ever seen in my life 👌👌👌 this is what Dressage should be 😉Enjoying your horse while giving your best, he deserved a place in the podium🤭well somebody must shake a little the Dressage world otherwise people will start to support more spectacular sports in to the Olympics in the near future. 😉

[@Ignorancenotbliss]

Still my favorite musical freestyle. It displays next to passionately ridden phenomenal dressage in very tough technical aspects, the ultimate partnership between horse and rider, the pride of this Spanish horse and heritage and last but not least the enjoyment in it all. He literally invites the audience to marvel with him during his ride and they get the message loud and clear.

[@dorothymerrell6091]

I just found this video and I'm so glad I did. Watching Fuego gave me chills. That horse sure lives up to the name Fire.

[@Jefferdaughter]

Note the way Fuego lowers his croup, engages his hindquarters, and rounds his back upward at the piaffe. That is true collection. Magnificent!

How often does one see a horse change leads at every stride whilst going around a circle? Or top level riders in competition riding with the reins in one hand? To mention just a few aspects of this excellent performance.

[@deseyered]

There are horses that cause an impact over a series of performances. There are horses who perform with such technical correctness they are considered nearly flawless. Valegro comes to mind here. And then there are horses who give us a performance with such magic and fire that they take our breath away. Fuego falls into this category.

[@johnperry4777]

Juan Manuel and Fuego XII won the night, if not in the eyes of the judges. He had to have known that the judges were going to slam him....and they did. He finished 5th. But he cared more about the exhilirating performance and appealing to the audience than he did about the score. I thought there was going to be a riot when they announced his score. I liked the universal "up yours" given by his team mate or coach at the end. Still gives me goosebumps.

[@deniseshephard6947]

Why did the judges slam this rider

[@aragonia01]

@@deniseshephard6947 Politics is everywhere

[@Jefferdaughter]

@@deniseshephard6947 - Aside from 'politics', which seems to be a part of every human endeavor... this horse and rider are so different from the carriage horses that have been favored in international dressage competitions for several decades. The judges seem to be so accustomed to seeing horses with an artificial 'headset', behind the bit, with hindquarters not engaged, that have to be muscled through the movements... that they don't seem to recognize the lightness, the true collection, the consistent cadence, the impulsion of classical dressage when they see it. There are a few exceptions among the carriage horse riders. Extremely athletic horses can look good, even when trained from the head back, instead of being developed from 'the ground up', and collected from the hindquarters forward. (Anyone can look up the origins of warmbloods, by the way.)

[@Jefferdaughter]

How Edward Gal on Tortilas scored higher than this horse, even with two breaks, one into canter from the extended trot, and a smaller one neat the beginning of his test, is a mystery.

[@lovejuliet4969]

@@Jefferdaughter you are absolutely 100% correct on this👍👌

[@TheMandyM]

I must admit, I'm extremely new to spectating dressage, so there is a WORLD of info I do not know. But... when i watched this horse and rider move, in absolute harmony, it spoke to me. How could anyone not see how beautiful this emotional dance is? Again i dont know the details of what's looked for. But me, a nobody, was moved by this performance... therefore it had to have been magical for those who do this for a living. I'm left with goosebumps ❤

I am so happy that "caballoscardenas" shared this FUEDO XIII Kur Grand Prix Freestyle WEG Kentucky 2010 utube video. I'm going to try to put it on my utube page for others to enjoy.

Totally agree Bini66ify (and others here) - having been in the crowd that night (specifically to see Totilas for the one and possibly only time it was likely for me to see him within driving distance in person), I can tell you Fuego's performance was ELECTRIC. The entire crowd was on its feet and going nuts during the trot extensions and the two tempis on the circle, plus the one handed one tempis.
