[@Jaccko14]

get over yourself all of you this is the 3 time olympic champion youre looking at, not to mention 9 time world cup champion! grow up

[@АлексейЯкупов-ю9л]

Parfait! Très caractéristique et mémorable! Bon travail! Joie!

[@RonaPonyyyy]

There has been so much focus on Totilas that I forgot jst how incredible Salinero is!

[@Shilott]

Completely agree, but he is such a performer.. you can tell he loves his work. shame he is older now

[@thecrazydolls]

Krack C has been retired, I am not sure what the deal is with painted black. salinero is also 15, not 19.

[@reika1898]

Thank you so much fo uploading this!

[@magdalenamambo]

I am also not sure why Anky used already 19 yo Salinero, he clearly was not up to it, and also his left hind leg was bugging him throughout the program, making extended gaits impossible... poor old chap, it is sad to see this, especially after their breathtaking performance in the same program in WC 2006. Does anyone know what happened to other horses of Anky: Painted Black and especially Krak C? Surely they could do better than Salinero here, I agree that he was over scored for this program.

[@Shilott]

I agree... but no one can deny he was an amazing dressage horse.. i just think he is nearing his time.. and co no longer compete with the younger horses coming in.

[@Jaccko14]

No, salinero might not have the knee action like totilas or parzival but anky achieves the "oness" with him and looks more in sinc with her horse than anyother

[@squarehalt1]

If you watch this video you will see that Salinero was incapable of performing a square halt , especially at the beginning of the Kur ! It is obvious that Anky uses methods of Hyperflexion or Rollkur , because her horse is very tense and hence cannot halt properly. Nevertheless, Anky is still a four time Olympic Gold medallist , and a 9 time world champion , I respect her regardless of all the controversy that surrounds her reputation. We still love you Anky !!!

[@emah4518]

Yes, and it does Adelinde Cornelissen, Edward Gal or Isabell Werth

[@CrazyForLucky]

@CrazyForLucky I mean I beg to differ that his hind end is disengaged, i dont agree with rolkur though, i just think he really doesnt look that bad as you all are saying

[@CrazyForLucky]

is it me or did he look really touchy with his (if you are looking him in the eye) right hind especially at the piaffe, he was lifting it really high and twitching it a little and wasnt doing that with the other. And personally I dont know much about rolkur but you were saying it disengages his hind end and i beg to differ.

[@AdrenalineArt]

yeah i agree, in his hay day he was good, but i guess dressage has moved on and horses like parzival and totilas are surpassing his results?

[@caspixel]

Even though I can't stand that she uses rollkur, this is still my favorite freestyle. The music and choreography is great and suits the horse so well.

[@tanjexlovex]

Theres no rollkur. Thats forbidden in the Nederlands

[@AdrenalineArt]

@dressagelover234 - wow. sos for giving an educated opinion..... anky can ride, i didnt say she couldnt, im not up there doing what shes doing because i do eventing...not dressage XD and thirdly...if youd read the comment, i mainly stated that i thought hed seen his better days...hes been on the block a while now

[@AdrenalineArt]

Meh, i just thought hed seen his better days. He still wont halt at the beggining of the test, but he never has, i should think that would give an immediate impression of tension. Great horse though, very correct, maybe not as flashy as MT, but hes scooped medals despite the contraversial training methods, which i cant make my mind up about.... still, lovely horse...

[@paintranc]

Hello, what is the song at 2:36 ???

[@EspritsLove]

sag mal sind wir hier im karnevalszelt oder bei der EM ?! ziemlich unmöglich diese kirmes-kürmusik. die muss ja echt tonnen in der hand haben bei dem pferd. also da ist wahrhaftig was schief gelaufen in der anlehnung!

[@jprice0311]

@TwilighterStacie Don't judge all of us because of a few bad eggs. I have been riding dressage for over 10yrs. You know there is always people who think they are better. I have met quite a few jumpers with an attitude as well.....

[@caspixel]

Moorlands Totilas is also rollkur trained.

[@tanjexlovex]

That horse isnt cause rollkur is forbidden in the Nederlands. Their both not trained with rollkur

[@nane_j]

da gibt es einen tollen spruch... ''Der Ausdruck eines Pferdes ist wie der Duft einer Blume, ist er einmal verflogen, kehrt er nie wieder zurück!'' aber woher weißt du dass seine linke seite blockiert war?

[@brendangwbergin]

Well said!! The question does it foster the happy athlete? I think the answer has to be no!!

[@Juttastar99]

Oh mann , da fehlen mir die Worte -.- Die hat aus Salinero eine perfeckt funktionierende Maschine gemacht , Dieses Pferd ist eine maschine geworden dieses rumgehüpfe sieht nicht mal mehr Pferdeartig aus einfach nur traurig sowas..

[@hosabund]

do you think dressagerider, want to ride them after their career??? No, then its not important to ride a horse correctly, I broke my leg 8 weeks ago and its hard to ride now, my horse was riding very bad, she did rollkur, and wasnt riding for 3 years now shes 22 and its very hard to get it away.. and if you only ride for dressage, it isnt riding, i ride dressage, woods everything and now i know whats riding is, i watched my friend, she isnt good at all, because she wanted to ride dressage

[@AdrenalineArt]

@magdalenamambo - I agree with you there.

[@AdrenalineArt]

totally agree with you :)

[@MaritsView]

Anky is dutch just like me, but l like dressage better without spurs and hyperflexion [if you don't know what this is search it up], not saying that she's doing that Anky knows how to ride There are times people hurt the horse Yes that happens But the horse will let you know when you do that like for example, during the jumping, if a horse doesn't wanna jump, he wont, it's as simple as that, [ yes animals do everything for humans, but if they don't want something they wont do it] l've been with horses my whole life, l'm 20 now. l'm very against spurs, l don't like them.[ people dont even realize how bad they actually hurt it's not necessary at all a few friends of mine do dressage with no spurs, and not holding the horses neck to tight That's a lot better, animals do everything for us, you need love trust and patience and you'll come very far

[@dressurfreak1]

am anfang die gruß aufstellung un jegtz zum schluss die gruß aufstellung am anfang nicht stehend un jetz musste sie das pferd richtig biegen das er steht was is das denn bitte für eine ach soo tolle reiterin echt es tut mir leid aba was soll sowas undafür 87,250 zugewben is zuviel echt bitte aba viel zu viel !!!!

[@akhima175]

Este caallo sigue espectacular pero parece que ha perdido algo de chispa por la edad.Pero a mi me sigue encantando :)

[@bonanzaandhorsegirl]

does she every use a different freestlye? this ones gettin kinda old. and when she used it in the 2006 WEG Frestyle, i think that Andreas Helgstrand was a better rider and he had a better horse

[@AdrenalineArt]

nahh i disagree, i dont think she looks in sync any where near as much as totilas or parzival or even minstral hojris for that matter. sorry, opinion clash hehe :)

[@nane_j]

als wenn edward gal keine rollkur macht. ich glaube es macht so ziemlich jeder in dem hohen dressursport rollkur. nur eben nicht öffentlich, so wie anky. man sollte da nicht nur auf eine bestimmt person zeigen. der drssursport wird echt immer schlimmer. wie war das noch? harmonie zwischen pferd & reiter? gymnastizierung? es war einmal...!

[@Jennathegr8]

I agree with osplick, anyone who thinks that dressage is cruel aint no nothin... you ppl who think you know so much about riding cant even spell the word 'bit' right. Beside has you ever tried to get the correct flexion and bend that is neccesary in a test without a bit...? Pretty hard i reckon.

[@stoeberhund]

i think it's not her personal choice if she abuses her horse or not -.-

[@saddlesforsale]

I hope this horse gets to do other things to change his mind though.... he looks like a machine...

[@Surfing1709]

No he doesn't look like a maschine at all. But he is a true performer and athlete.

[@misschrisss2010]

I agree with you on this, he just looks clumsy. Idk if it's his long ears and choppy movement, but he looks like a clown to me. I also agree that he is not totally engaged, his neck may be arched, but his back is flat.

[@kgersemi261]

Danke für die schöne Einstellung. Bevor hier einige ihre dummen und fachlich inkompetenten Kommentare abgeben, sollten sie sich mit der Materie vertraut machen.

[@Bziambzium]

elle monte avec trop de force...j'aime pas, au début quand je ne me connaissais pas en dressage elle etait reine pour moi, mais comparée avec E.Gal et son Totilas, il est evident que ce soit lui le meilleur, il est leger et delicat avec ses aides c'est tres agreable a voir, Anky, au contraire, j'aime pas la regarder elle est raide et abuse de ses renes..;voila, a chacun son oppinion

[@Kana500]

Salinero it's beautiful like ever and this kur it's also the same of the Athens Olympic Games 2004....... But I hate Rollkur method...Classical dressage only way!!

[@hosabund]

i have to say horses are intelligent BUT they want to do anything and yes she is riding rollkur... ad horses want to do anything i have ridden a horse who does rollkur And they try theyr best and doanything you want because they are scared of more hurt and thats why they do it and if they dont do the Spor will come into their sides and that is very very painful

[@hosabund]

look, she how she uses her spurs, it hurts you can see, i am freetime rider, and i think its scared to see the horses in dressage, you dont see it, you can only see it by the look in the eyes of a dressagehorse, my horse ever wants to be perfect at all so she dont shows if she dont likes it but i can see it and dont tell me a horse have fun at rollkur or anything like that, a rider is good, if it can rides withot spurs etc even without saddle or anything only the horse.. thats good riders

[@EspritsLove]

mien gott, ist die kürmusik geschmacklos! auf 'das rote pferd' reiten?! hat nen starken jahrmarktsmusikcharackter! und was die wohl für ihre zwei grußaufstellungen bekommen hat.. 4?

[@Surfing1709]

Geschmacklos! Ja, so unterschiedlich kann eine Meinung sein. Die Kürmusik ist grandios. Sein starker Trab passt nicht zur Musik- da die Action fehlt. Aber sie ist und bleibt ein Genie was Harmonie und auf den Punkt passende Kürmusik angeht. Da sind soviele andere Kürmusiken - welche nicht einmal den Ansatz eines Ohrwurms haben. Weil die letzte Verschmelzung von Musik und Reiten fehlt.

[@kgersemi261]

Nein ganz und gar nicht, aber ich verssteige mich auch nicht zu dummen Verleumdungen, bei dem Wissen, daß sehr Viele Amateurreiter ihrem Pferd wirklichen Schaden zufügen,

[@AdrenalineArt]

This performance was nowhere near as good as Adelinde or Gal's performances with Parzival or Totilas. Salinero looked to me a little worn, and the performance was the same as it has been for the past few years... -_- how boring. again we see to much negative tension in salinero with his panic attack from the first salute, look at Totilas, he has positive tension..its moving him forward and he looks willing and like hes enjoying it. Salinero looks a bit "ohh...this again...yikes!" ? my opinion :)

[@jephianey7866]

Don't even think about saying more. Salinero and Bonfire we're THE horses for the dressage. Like the others said, dressage has moved on, the old dressage horses won't be there anymore. The New generation takes their places till they get older.

[@hosabund]

you dont understand what i mean, you dont know the hard habbits in dressage, because would you know you wouldnt tell that bullshit, dont you read the newspaper or dont you see the truth????? Tell me, witch big dressagehorse you know who the career is ended???? no, because iof the career is good the horse is good, and is the career ending noone knows the horse anymore, thats the truth. the horse i rode on saterday hasnt looked shocked or anything in a very bad situation

[@Karyn64]

Nice first Halt. Not.

[@Tigerstripes94]

Everytime I watch this video I laugh my ass off when Anky starts to sing. Dabadabada. Hahaha! Not a really good move.

[@hosabund]

BUT if you doing sports like tennis or anything you hurt yourself not the self of other. You are lying at yourself, please dont you see???? its time to fakt the truth, she isnt a good rider or anything like that, she is useing the bite wrong you only have to take a look on that, how she trains her horses, that is bad acting against horses.. they are animals no machines
