    That was the best choreography of a freestyle dressage I have ever seen! The horse was in perfect time to the music all the way through. And the horse stopped at the end at the very moment when the music ended. Totally perfect in my view!!! And Laura knew how perfect it was. Kudos to her and her horse!

      SpiritWolf but do you understand that the horse is in an extreme amount of pain, metal bits, spurs, hard hands, no give, muscles being strained and pulled. The horses don't do this naturally it is forced. If you were the horse, how would you feel?

    • @coollikegrass2489
      @coollikegrass2489 Před 5 lety +1

      Life.In.The.Saddle No it's really not what wild horses do naturally. I've never seen a wild horse do a half pass, or a canter pirouette, or run around with it's head behind the vertical and it's poll tucked. Wild horses don't do these things. You should actually research wild horses.

    • @ggu5297
      @ggu5297 Před 5 lety +35

      @@amberp.8279 i know this is an old comment but still. . . if this horse was in "an Extreme amount of pain" it would have its ears back, swish its tail, and play up in other more subtle ways that are hard to pick for an inexperienced person, so mentioning these things is pointless, it would be like explaining things to a rabbit. i don't really like the way this horse was ridden, the rider looks quite rough and jerky, but the horse seems relaxed and comfortable all through the test, no signs of distress. and i cant judge the rider too much as i haven't ridden that horse, he may be a rough ride, some are smooth as silk, some quite bouncy. but i want to assure you, that dressage when done correctly, is not painful for the horse. the bits are only as harsh as the riders hands, while its just sitting in their mouth it doesn't hurt them, a small amount of pressure doesn't hurt them either, its when you yank and jar them that its an issue. spurs are used so the rider can do more accurate ques, they hardly have to touch them, especially at this level. and they don't stain and pull their muscles, they build them up over a long period of time, it takes ages to train a dressage horse for this level of competition, they don't just pull them in completely unfit for this. its the same as building up any muscle, it takes time, and as it gets stronger it gets easier and the level steps up.

    For me personally she is a bit harsh with her hands and it looks not as harmonic as it could.
    But beside from that her Ride is on point and especially in the trot parts (and variations of trot) the horse's movements fit perfectly to rythm.

      I could not agree more! To say anyone can do it is tripe. I already said even if i won the lottery, I could never aspire to win a Grand Prix. Maybe Medium level and that would be that! If I were born Usain Bolt, maybe I could win the 100metres. It was a superb performance. Such a pity she went away to have multiple kids and gave up at this level. Apart from Hester and Du Jardin, she was better than the other team riders now.competing for team GB. Yes, they are multimillionaires. Their place is to die for. I watched a BBC program and was drooling at the environment. Only Carl Hester's one is better.

    Ich habe selten etwas so Unschönes gesehen wie diese Reiterin. Vielleicht sieht es ja Schlimmer aus, als es ist... aber wie sie da auf dem Tier herumfuhrwerkt, aggressiv mit dem Oberkörper und den Händen jeden Schritt förmlich herauspresst und dann mit den Beinen Meilenweit hinter dem Gurt ohne jedes Schamgefühl herumstochert wie ein Blinder mit dem Stock. Die Musik wäre ja sehr schön ausgewählt, aber zu dieser Reiterei wirkt sie eher zynisch. Sehr unschönes Bild. Einzeig erstaunlich, dass das Pferd überhaupt noch läuft... in jedem Fall sieht man am Kopfzucken des Pferdes, dass ihr Gerupfe erheblich ist und das Maul ist sehr unruhig. Den tosenden Endapplaus kann ich überhaupt nicht nachvollziehen, auch wenn die Lektionen in der Tat nicht misslungen sind. Einzig versönlich ist ihre sichtbare Dankbarkeit am Schluss gegenüber dem Pferd.
