If Dressage is to be an effortless looking dance between a horse and its rider, then this is it. Light and harmonious even through the transitions, between and within the gaits. Horse looks relaxed, from its jaw to its beautiful STILL tail. Rider is soft and pretty quiet up there, no swinging and swaying from side to side for those, beautifully executed uphill changes. Well deserved score and World record for this performance!

the first thing that stood out to me was that this horse does not swish his tail like all the other dressage horses at this level. and the horse has such a happy expression!

[@hairyexmoor]

love it at 5:26 she gives him a pat after his one time changes! what a lovely pair!!!

[@Cassandracoward]

This duo is amazing, why people want to try and find fault in them is beyond me

[@hazurajane5454]

when that horse is just grinning and mugging at the end of his stellar test, it wrecks me, so much personality!!

[@cwhite1501]

my fave pair in dressage, they are amazing!

[@P_suerla]

i'm from germany and i think totilas and m. a. rath are nothing compared to this couple . THIS is passion !

[@trogirogir9]

I think Charlotte is just perfect, just perfect!!!!! I can't wait for the next week at the olympics! She's the only rider who is the horse, literally you can end up watching her go round the arena not the horse. Absolutely perfect, finally someone knows what they are doing on a horse!

[@virginie81]

Perfection doesn't exist, but this pair is really close to it !!! They won the Olympics yesterday, with a new world record, 90,0889 %.

[@GuadaneroAT]

[@ukohorse22]

[@virginie81]

And anyways, if there were absolutely NO mistake, the would have been 100 % !

[@ginstar3]

Hogan's Heros awesome

[@xLisa1D]

I really really love them! But I still think Edward Gal and Totilas were the best..

[@PREVeteranoX]

Sorry, but cannot understand the high score. Some imperfections in this test: Passage: heavy hind legs and irregular (one stepping shorter than the other). Extended walk: some horses are stepping over 3 - 4 hoofs, which is not the case here. No good transition to collected walk. Collected walk a bit unclear and lack of activity.

[@angelaphilpott6690]

What a load of rubbish. Are you an FEI judge or just bitter ?

[@PREVeteranoX]

Flying changes every two strikes: not absolutely straight, hips balancing a bit from one side to the other. Canter pirouettes: horse looses the rythm of the canter. Too slow and hind legs sticking to the ground. I love much more FUEGO from Spain, sorry.

[@angelaphilpott6690]

You most obviously know very little about classical dressage - sad. This horse holds all three world records and was only nine years old when he broke Totilas’s Grand Prix Special world record.
