Who Did It Better? Anky vs Morgan - Painted Black - Grand Prix Dressage Freestyle

The KWPN licensed breeding stallion and former Olympic horse Painted Black has proven to deliver on the promise! After his career in international career in international dressage sport, Painted Black has been standing at stud and producing top offspring.
At the 2021 KWPN Stallion Licensing last week, four Painted Black sons were presented and all four of them were licensed, turning this into a 100% success story for sire Painted Black. No other stallion was able to achieve such an extraordinary feat this year.

Black with Morgan have limited range of movement, he is boxed in. Pirouettes are just messy, too wide and done rathen in a figure 8 than in a small circle. But I think she has a better hand. Black with Anky has better range of movement, more fluid, but not as high action of the legs. Pirouettes are a little bit better. That is my opinion and what I can see ;) *edit* I forgot to add: yeah, I know they are using Rollkur. I really wish that that practice would be banned...

Not quite a fair comparison. He was not trained by either lady but was elderly by the time Morgan got him! She loved him and was devastated when she had to retire him!!

Anky

1:14 in and definitely Anky

They are both using Rollkur, so neither did it better. They both suck. This poor horse looks so locked up through the neck and poll. This is hard to watch. Anke is the one who ruined him though. No doubt in my mind, she's the worst.

Of course Anky she is in armony, its control is evident

Only a pig would hit a horse like that!
