  • I love watching different breeds excel in the sport of dressage. This amazing Norwegian fjord dressage stallion is extra exciting for me because I spent years begging my parents for a fjord every year for Christmas! This super cute dressage stallion has the most amazing forelock to go along with the happiness that is the cutest dressage stallion ever!

    Absolutely wonderful, no spurs, snaffle bit, happy horse, tactful rider, beautiful extended trot - what more could one wish for? I hope you will show more film footage of interesting breeds performing. I have always been around horses, worked professionally with them, and ended up running an Arab stud. The senior stallion competed in most disciplines including dressage which he absolutely adored, but was always marked down because he was only 14.3 hh and he was an Arab.

      @@bathsheba.b8656 no worries. Yeah, I saw the metallic shine in the first two clips but didn't see actual spurs unless she was using like those motivator spurs that have the bumps on the inside of her foot and the spur would just be there constantly. I'd rather see real spurs so we could see how aggressive they are with them. I always rode in spurs but I was taught to use them properly, just there as an extension to my leg aids if necessary and to lightly help with lateral movement exercises. Owner of the barn I ride/rode at uses his spurs really harshly (reining trainer) and big shank bits on the three year olds and others 😠🙄

      @@SassySorrelFilly I appreciate your thoughtful reply and I think we are in agreement that we both would like to see more natural gaiety in modern dressage. To me, as a middle-aged Englishwoman, it often seems forced and somewhat depressing and overly disciplinarian. I think I have been spoilt in that I have always worked with Thoroughbreds or Arabs and the last thing I needed was spurs! I now live in Eastern Europe, I have two rescue horses, one is an ex-harness racer, she definitely doesn't need spurs, the other is TB x Akhal Teke and keeping him calm and happy is my main aim. Thank you again and all the best.

      @@bathsheba.b8656 thank you for a civilized conversation, if you will. Everyone is always so defensive nowadays.
      I've never been a big dressage follower but when I was growing up, I certainly don't remember horses "piaffing" as a main gait in the showring. I, unfortunately, remember Rollkur but never the horses prancing around like they're in a circus or parade. 😩
      I like seeing that you have an ex harness racer. I grew up around the racetrack. My grandfather knew some of the trainers, so we'd head over to the backstretch every Sunday to visit and so I could get my horse dose for the week.
      We had an OTTB at one point at the barn where I took my lessons and she was my heart horse. I loved that mare so much. I was crushed when she was sold to a green rider who wanted her for jumping. Maddie could jump, but she definitely was not suitable for a green rider. She had a tendency to bolt if spooked and she'd blast off. Fell down one night in lessons because she bolted and slipped going around a corner in the arena and went down with the little boy that was riding her. The kid was an OK rider but he was so small that he definitely didn't have the strength to hold onto her. Once she was sold, I heard she ended up in a few more homes and then no one could track her down. We heard a rumor that she had colicked and died. I was even more heartbroken even though it was years later.
      Oof, sorry to ramble on again. I haven't even seen a live horse in like 5 years because I had to stop riding because my knees got really bad. I like being able to talk "horse shop" with civil minded people. I keep saying to myself to just go to the barn and surprise my coach and everyone, but I have no idea of what protocols they have in place for visitors because of stupid Corona. Go figure.
      Quick question: does your Akhal-Teke cross have a metallic sheen to their coat? I've always thought they were a gorgeous breed.
      OK, I'm done😂😂
      Take care and stay safe!

    Was mir an diesem Video besonders gut gefällt, ich meine, ich finde diese Vorführung total toll, weil das Pferd sehr sauber geht, seine Lektionen gelernt hat und von der Reiterin absolut schön geritten wird. Aber ... die Nase ist immer etwas vorn. Sie biegt ihn nicht runter. Das Pferd geht in schöner Aufrichtung, was vielleicht durch den speckigen Hals vom Fjordi noch gefördert wird, aber dennoch. Absolut schön geritten. Und .... weil ich es gelesen haben. Eine Kandare ist kein "Mörderwerkzeug", genauso wie Sporen kein "Folterinstrument" sind. Man kann auch mit Kandare sehr sanft reiten und mit Sporen ganz, ganz feine Hilfen geben. Es ist immer der Reiter, der aus diesen Dingen ein Folterwerkzeug macht. Die Kandare allein tut nicht weh und die Sporen auch nicht. Hänge ich allerdings im Kandarenzügel, zerre daran herum wie in Verrückter oder kneble damit das Pferd und lasse es in die Brust beißen, sporniere ich es blutig, kann weder die Kandare noch die Sporen etwas dafür. Gebt beim Reiten auf euch selbst acht, auch alle Reitanfänger. Man reitet mit zwei Fingern und gibt Hilfen, die so sanft sind, dass schon der Gedanke ausreicht, um dem Pferd zu sagen, was man will. Wer in den Zügeln hängt, das Pferd selbst ohne Sporen bekloppt treten muss und dazu die Gerte auf den Hintern donnern lässt, macht eindeutig was falsch.
