Amazing Horse.💖💖💖💖I think this is the lightest horse I have seen to date. It feels like the horse is walking on air💞💞💞💞Bravo💕💕💕💕

It's being forced, rollkur wake up

[@patfoster6762]

People who don't know a lot about horses can't see what's wrong

[@SoozUK]

Beautiful horse so well ridden, can't wait to see them at the Olympics.

[@SoozUK]

Wow a lot of people in the comments have a real fetish and are desperate to see a horse abused. He's fine, guys.

[@annjohnson8437]

Can anyone offer suggestions of top-level riders that still do classical dressage? I'd like to see what that looks like in comparison. I'm new to the sport.

[@mauram3941]

Ingrid Klimke is the only one I can think of

[@JM-ib5tx]

Pauline Basquin is representing french riding really well at the moment and I would recommend to take a look at Lewis Carrier. He has an amazing seat and a happy horse with a nice open frame.

[@benediktehoffkjeldsen6801]

I agree - Ingrid Klimke 👍

[@annjohnson8437]

​@mauram3941 Thank you! ❤

[@annjohnson8437]

​@@JM-ib5txThank you, I'll check them out! ❤

A very sensitive horse that has to be ridden very carefully. As yet he is too tense but he makes progress every time he starts. He is just a horse who needs more time .

[@dog2484]

And no LDR rider. Everything is wrong here. And allways good old john who celebrate bad riding 🐴

Absolutely beautiful and amazing

[@tillmanntuchel2554]

So gut habe ich die beiden noch nicht gesehen, herzlichen Glückwunsch

[@dog2484]

Gestrampel, weggedrückter Rücken, falscher Knick, harte Hand und Kopf an die Brust gezogen bei Trabverstärkung findest Du gut. Weiter : keine Hankenbeugung, keine Losgelassenheit, keine Aufrichtung, nichts von dem, was Klassische Dressur ausmacht. Solche Kommentare wie deine die zeigen dass null Wissen über korrekt ausgebildete Pferde vorhanden ist, machen diesen Sport zu dem Trauerspiel das er ist

[@Mia05877]

This is beautiful

[@biscuit1230]

Everyone called her out for being behind the vertical. Lottie Fry had Glamourdale behind the vertical the entire time too.

[@pixie706]

I like the commentary some good points

[@brendadufaur37]

Hold Cesar Parra and any other horse abusers accountable. I am disgusted by the video with Cesar abusing the horse he is on and disgusted by the FEI and an industry that allows it and that is not protecting the horses.

[@rositabohlke7340]

Was ist eigtl. aus der guten alten Rahmenerweiterung geworden? Und warum müssen die Pferde heutzutage in Passage und Piaffe so spannig zappeln, um gute Noten zu bekommen? Fragen über Fragen...

[@littlepony8571]

Wanting to 'dress it up' that way is a mistake and speaks to the artificiality of some of it, maybe just a way of going if not the case. This would be very hard work for the horse if not natural and would burn out quickly. Physical and mental exhaustion show at the end....tremendous heart and talent despite the difficulty. Very light hands are impressive on the part of the rider

[@steffijenzen277]

Traurig immer noch sowas zu sehen…noch trauriger dass das einige toll finden…rollkur lässt grüßen 😢

[@user-lq5dc2kp3f]

The horse IS behind the vertical which means it can't use its head to aid any movements he s able to make

[@donjones1644]

What happened to dressage its absolutely disgusting!

[@silviaschmitt6816]

Ask yourself while looking: Do you feel sorry for the horse or do you feel harmony of love between rider and horse? The answer is absolutely clear.

[@uncensoredhorse]

Th FEI should be ashamed that this abrupt, hyperflexed garbage with a complete pack of diagonal pairs is considered a winning ride. Shame on you for normalizing this poor horsemanship FEI, shame on you.

[@dog2484]

The FEI is the main problem. As long as they exist as long as abuse in Dressage will exist

[@uncensoredhorse]

@@dog2484 💯agreed! Them normalizing this abuse and rewarding it , is absolutely the main issue! SHAME ON YOU FEI! SHAME!

[@monikasaringer1152]

Wow what a horse!

[@j.m.8545]

Odd movement, but pretty horse.

[@christythoroton4034]

Why do they use such harsh bits nose bands

[@rocknewsswitzerland]

just for a thought; Xenophon 430 BC: Realise that the lessons of higher dressage are not tricks that you can teach your horse with the help of unnatural means of coercion. They are forms of impressive self-expression by the horse, which it performs of its own accord in special states of excitement in front of its conspecifics. Your horse should take pleasure in its work and express enthusiasm in its movements and posture.

[@silviaschmitt6816]

But you can teach a horse piaffe by hand with a whip, and that is obviously the case here, because he works inharmoniously as he was trained

horse tied up and nose line permanently behind the vertical - once again the pain a horse suffers in this position is ignored...

[@judithbateson6353]

That is your opinion and far from fact!

[@dog2484]

Vorne Gestrampel, keine Hinterhand Aktivität, falscher Knick, bei Trabverstärkung gerollt :typisch LDR Reiten, hat mit Klassischer Dressur weniger als nichts zu tun. Die FEI ist lost, die Richter bewerten pferdeunfreundliches Reiten. Sollte sofort von den Behörden unterbunden werden.

[@vibeskouenborg6842]

@@insaisi_sable7299 there is a WEIGHT BAR in the horse' mouth and the neck is OVERBENDED by this pressure. You don't know how many nerves a mouth has? you cannot se the broken beat caused by tension? the horse does not cross over in side moovings- huge mistake. You only look for the glitter, or?

[@bozenamajewska6116]

Piaff is strange

[@michalshus3277]

terrible. Seriously, it is not dressage and I feel sorry for this poor horse :(

[@elkefaber8873]

There is too much sitting in piaf and pirouette. Otherwise there is less fluency and lightness in nearly all movements. I do not like such high leg movements.

[@jennykonijnenburg3031]

Agree, its not natural movement. Mostly a sign of rollkur abuse. I used to love dressage (dancing with your horse) but now i know its all about money and fame of the rider and the horse had to pay the heavy bill for it. To be accurate, the judges and trainers are to blame for this for a big part too

[@paillette2010]

Competitive dressage increasingly looks like the Big Lick classes. Scary.

[@jennykonijnenburg3031]

@@paillette2010 big lick is even worse for the horses i think. But no human should ever abuse any animal or human for that matter. It makes me furious when they hurt another being for their own fame and glory

[@paillette2010]

@@jennykonijnenburg3031 I follow Horse Humane and they say that the entire foot capsule can come off from the weights. Also, they see a lot of discarded walking horses at slaughter auctions. I am sure the FEI's blind spot on "Quatermaster" like gates, rollkur, crank nosebands, etc., is a boon to the top competitors. It's not for the horses.

[@michaelawhitworth991]

😢 what is nice about this...nothing at all.spurs. spurs and more spurs. Nothing natural. This horse will be knackered. The pressure on its joint. Its worst than horse ra
