So nice to see such relaxation in the horse. Carl’s horses all look like willing, happy partners.

Wow!!!!! That was amazing Explosive horse fantastic riding😍

Stunning. Innovative. Compelling to watch. Many People dont realize that charlotte came to carl first to ask to work for him and he took her on eventually let her ride valegro who was his mount to ride. Who does that? Only a truly great and selfless person who puts his horses and clients first. I really miss their weekly tv series, which was on cable years ago before london. They were so funny working together around the farm and competing locally.

Fame has so much knee action for a Dressage horse esp at the trot, hes so unique to watch!!! His pirouettes(sp?) are flawless 😮

[@jonjonwp]

That was such a great test. Carl has done wonders with this horse.

Can you tell music from the canter part of routine pls??

[@suestewart-g4f]

What a blessing Carl and Charlotte are to British Dressage. Brilliant to see Carl win, the relationship he has with his horses is undeniable.

Not an inspiring performance: the music did not fit the rhythm of the horse´s steps at all, extended trot without any action of the hindlegs (the motor!!!), not much trotwork shown, only the strictest minimum, one-time changes not straight, what is there to admire? Were there no other contenders? This is not dressage at its best, not even close!

[@reasondora2712]

Oh dear . You sound like someone who wants a different country to do well in Paris !

[@ineskucharz1990]

@@reasondora2712 I don´t care which country the rider is from, but at this level I expect an outstanding performance, - and Carl Hester´s ride was lacking in so many ways, I wonder what the judges saw!

[@leahsearle9201]
