While riding round and deep for short periods of time is ok in my opinion, this is taking it to an extreme. The horse really isn't even stretching here, he just has his head cranked in. I would understand if the horse got stiff, to overbend or flex him a bit more, but Gal is simply riding with his chin on his chest. There is no relaxation here at all. While I have great respect for Gal? as a rider, I'm disappointed in him here.

ich bin echt schockiert- ich bin ein totaler dressurfan aber nicht von solchen reitern. schade das so Pferde so verritten werden, und bei dem video wenn ich mir es so anschaue ist das erste was ich beim anblick von totilas denke was machen die wenn die Kameras mal aus sind ? da kann mir doch keiner erzählen das der nicht auch SO geritten worden ist

Ich reite auch Dressur, allerdings nur L, aber ich bin stolz darauf meine Pferde ohne Kandarre, Sporengehacke und Rollkur an den Zügel und versammelt vorwärts zu reiten. Sie gehen schön kurz vor der Senkrechte, da wo? der Kopf hingehört. Ich könnte weinen, wenn ich das sehe.
So you don't think ... By: RutMulle. on 30 Apr 11, 09:34:36 So you don't think it hurts when they get all bloody in their mouths and their eyes are staring desperatley after? any sort of rescue? No of course, they're not hurt at all. I've seen people ride like this with my own eyes, and I couldn't look without getting tears in my eyes. This is cruel.
I'm? so with you on ... By: Lyllerh. on 07 Dec 10, 23:40:20 I'm? so with you on that! I've been so split in what to think about Totilas and Edward. On one hand Totilas is an incredible horse and Edward is a very good rider, but on the other I just know how he trains which gives me a very bad taste.
horrible display? By: calleentatum. on 07 Oct 10, 20:52:21 horrible display?

I have never liked ... By: horsecrazybitch. on 20 May 10, 19:30:44 I have never liked this guy. Nothing impressive about him.... Dressage is often much, much better at the low classes, really, not all about flashy legs,? but actually harmony and JOY between rider and horse.
I just love when ... By: phantom1863. on 21 Apr 10, 04:05:17 I just love when uneducated people who simply "follow the crowd" leave uneducated comments such as? this. God, what is the equine industry coming to? Nay, what is this world coming to?
I can't help but ... By: 89Stick. on 11 Apr 10, 11:33:05 I can't help but think how some of these top riders feel when they read other people's commets about their riding. I'm sure that they? don't mean to "abuse" their horses,

Not surprising ... By: brokefordstud. on 11 Feb 10, 23:41:13 Not surprising that? Gribaldi stopped liking dressage. Poor horse. Pressure, pressure, pressure = cooked.
I'm sorry but it ... By: cfaulconerdressage. on 03 Feb 10, 17:40:33 I'm sorry but it does show in his performances. He should abandon rollkur because he is a wonderful rider and rollkur is beneath him. The exaggerated trot and walk in front are a dead give away. Totilas? is better than Salinero but it is still cruel training whoever does it.
The only thing that ... By: fleur4198. on 31 Jan 10, 14:57:14 The only thing that has meaning here is the INCREDIBLE degree of NAIVETY still shown by people admiring so-called "champions" and never guessing, even WILLING to guess, that ignorance is the huge monster, but also the most common STANDART that lives in? every horse stable...chamion or not...
Shoes, bridles, bit, forced neck flexion, rollkur, back muscules dystrophy as result of riding as only activity.... They nedd and deserve too much more....
If Edward actually ... By: TheLoschadka. on 31 Jan 10, 08:44:09 If Edward actually ABUSED his horse it would show in his performances. Which it doesn't. The rider on the clip is not Edward, havent you noticed that you can never see the riders face clearly. As for the horse, I used to loan a horse which looked like that. Dont get me wrong, I am wholly against rollkur, its horrible, but Gal does not use? it!
Practical use of this method by experienced riders: Anky van Grunsven. Please watch the body and hands of the rider and the way the curb(!) is used.

Oh, and I forgot to ... By: canterpir0uette. on 24 Dec 09, 18:18:47 Oh, and I forgot to mention Dressage dates far back to The Greeks (ie: Xenophon in 360 B.C "On the Art of Horsmanship") to even as far back as 800 B.C. So really? It's? based solely on Art and the eye of the beholder?
With a sport ... By: canterpir0uette. on 24 Dec 09, 08:42:25 With a sport becoming more popular, money is more important apparently than the rules that are still supposedly enforced. They're changing the rules to allow the circus to continue. The judges are? awarding this mockery to either not rock the boat or not ruin their own careers. Regardless, it does not belong in any discipline. It goes against what true Dressage teaches anyway. Why are we SO focused on the head and neck? When did this happen? Did everyone pick up Baucher's book or something?
I have to disagree ... By: canterpir0uette. on 24 Dec 09, 08:29:50 I have to disagree also that Correct is whatever we find beautiful. The Masters knew what they were doing when it came to the horse's anatomy and biomechanics. If the Greeks studied anatomy, does that say? that the masters well over 300 years ago didn't have access to this information? Legs doing just the work by snapping higher just goes to show that these horses weren't taught to sit and carry themselves properly. In a true piaffe, the horse grows taller in the forehand - incl. other movements.
Since there is ... By: Floortjahh. on 04 Dec 09, 18:29:27 Since there is evidence it is abuse, and that it is benefitial (because there is, werther you like it or not), should riders be accused of animal abuse? That is a line I believe we should not cross. You wouldn't convict a murderer bc it seems like he's done it. You need hard evidence. And unless those horses in? question undergo a series of tests, there will not be any. If animal abuse is really anticipated, FEI could force such testing in court. But to this day, no one has been able to do so
if all factors are ... By: Floortjahh. on 04 Dec 09, 18:18:34 if all factors are good,? and rk is achieved with a soft hand, the muscles around the throat stay relaxed (as they always should be) and thus not blocking the airway.
In the most recent research, done with correct rk hormonal tests (among others)show there is no physical pain involved. reports of this can be found in scientific bookstores. I personally don't believe it is mental abuse, but I agree, it's debatable. More research is needed.
Here we go again... ... By: Floortjahh. on 04 Dec 09, 18:02:56 Here we go again... In all research that "proves" physical pain and limited breathing, rk was reached by extra reigns or other methods (such as yanking). This is stated clearly in every report I have ever read on the subject (pretty much every report out there since that's my job). However, this is not how a correct rk? is achieved. It must be achieved from total releaxation after years of correct training and even then, a horse needs an exeptional talent.
Rollkur is most ... By: BanRollkur. on 04 Dec 09, 16:33:22 Rollkur is most definitely abuse of the horse. Abuse by mental abuse ..the learned helplessness form.
Abuse by yanking on their mouths to get them in the position in the first place - don't say they don't yank because it is quite blatantly not true.
Abuse because it? is limiting their breathing - which has been proved by vets.
Abuse according to the FEI own admission by keeping the horse in RK for long periods - as has been documented many times.
Now tell me it's not hurting the horse!!
right, but no one ... By: Floortjahh. on 30 Nov 09, 20:06:48 right, but no one seems to be able to state why. As the great philosophers say, an opion without arguments to back it, is not worthy of existence.
And I can tell you dont care, or you? would try to change my mind, to make this world a better place for horses, as you say you believe. And if youd really care, you would want to learn more, instead of turning the other cheek. As I've only stated facts, not opinions. Ive never told you what to believe, so i dont understand why youre so sensitive.
So ive put up a vid ... By: Floortjahh. on 28 Nov 09, 17:39:08 So ive put up a vid of old fotos, cuz i said youd love to see me ride. I? quite enjoyed youre vid as well, very cute horses.
Just dont doubt my love of horses. Just bc we have a different opion doesnt mean you have to get nasty. You can still respect each others arguments (even tho you didnt have many).
Dude, the FEI ... By: Floortjahh. on 17 Nov 09, 16:45:57 Dude, the FEI report on this states the same thing! I am an FEI researcher, and I've never seen it happen during the tests we've run. Why is it due to rollkur, huh? You? couldn't say, bc it's not. Ask your trainer.
How can you not know we are debating? Do you not know the word?
And why are you over the converstaion? I'm not the one offending anyone!
Maybe it doesn't ... By: Floortjahh. on 17 Nov 09, 00:05:15 Maybe it doesn't happen at your barn, bc no one rides professional levels, thus no one's using dubble bridels. Chances that the tongue gets stuck is higher with dubble bridles. Tongues get stuck regularly (although not that long!)
But that's not the point. The point is it had nothing to do with the hyperflexion ridden. Yes it was stupid of? Patrik not to notice before. yes poor horse, that can't have been fun. Yes it should never have happene.
But it is not due to the way the horse was ridden.
Why not? All I'm ... By: Floortjahh. on 16 Nov 09, 23:59:13 Why not? All I'm saying that if rollkur is not hurting the horse, it's ok. What is wrong with that?! How does that mean I don't? love horses?
I guess you never had debate classes. In a debate you never attack the person. Only the arguments, with sensible, well over thought comments.
Instead you choose to insult me. That is a sign of people who are running out of sensible things to say. Or is that a lie?
And youre implying ... By: Floortjahh. on 16 Nov 09, 12:29:01 And youre implying I dont? It could happen to anyone.
Btw would the one who gave my comment below a thumbs down pls explain themselves..? geez
As far as the ... By: Floortjahh. on 11 Nov 09, 16:25:52 As far as the tongue goes. Blue means a lack of oxygen? (reduced bloodflow). This can occur when the tongue gets caught over or between bit's. In the vid, you can Patrik put the tongue back, and it turns pink afterwards (while still riding rollkur). Bc i assume you mean the vid of Patrik Kittel on Scandic. Again: to much speculation going on to accuse him of abuse. Especially since the artaries are not blocked by rollkur, as any study (pro and con) will show you.
Arg, frustrating. ... By: Floortjahh. on 11 Nov 09, 16:21:22 Arg, frustrating. You're completly missing the point I'm trying to make. It's ok to dissagree or agree with rollkur by werther you personally like the result. But some accuse the users of abuse on speculation: how the horse feels (I'm not talking about stress, but werther they like it or not. see: Y-maze test results); bc it looks painful (speculation); bc it is abuse in some? cases(insufficient proof). This, I find unfair. And that's what I'm against.
I know it might ... By: Floortjahh. on 11 Nov 09, 12:17:20 I know it might sound a bit cold, cuz I also like to believe my horse loved me. But calling rollkur abuse is quite a severe statement (altough it can be abusive, it far from? always is)
That is why I say, if it doesn't hurt (pain is my area of expertise) it's ok. Im a chemical biologist, see.
Unfortunately, I had to sell my horse two years ago. I couldn't combine it with work. I have to travel a lot. I never used rollkur though, my horse didn't have that talent.
Practical use of this method by experienced riders: Anky van Grunsven. Pushing up pressure during warming up. The horse is not able to bend any more. His hind legs are activated without giving him the opportunity to place them under his body.

By: alexiadu1213. on 26 Oct 10, 20:28:06 Le cheval est completement bloquer dans ses mouvement, ça se voit qu'il a mal au dos! cette technique, prolongée est mauvaise, un bon rollkur dur pas plus de deux minutes et le cheval n'est pas bloquer dans ses mouvements, ni la tête contre la poitrine! c'est rond et bas, pour muscler, pas bloquer! depuis quand on muscle un cheval quand on le bloque?????????? franchement, j'espère que la FEi va qualifier cette technique de maltraitance point.? heureusement qu'ils ont déjà réagit en partie
I thought spurs? ... By: iStillRunDeep. on 11 Apr 10, 20:11:22 I thought spurs? were supposed to be used to back up leg aids? It looks to me as though Anky's using them AS an aid.. How can the horse respond to leg aids anyway, if it's head is pinned to it's chest and it has to drag itself around on the forehand??

Rollkur becomes more an more widely used as the method giving to the rider protection from horse's revolt.
When overbent horse can not breath, it is in awful pain in neck, back, chest and mouth. All that is quite evident if the person has a bit of logical thinking....

This could come out ... By: daisyfields. on 10 Jun 08, 02:14:42 This could come out the wrong way, so let me start off by saying this is an actual question I'm interested in knowing the answer too. True dressage, the classical method of riding, is about natural movement of the horse and? would therefore never collect the horse more than it would naturally offer, the amount of collection that Nevzorov rides with. So is this statement referring to competition dressage?

There? is a reason the classical method has been around since the late Middle Ages/ early Renaissance.

I have never liked this guy. Nothing impressive about him.... Dressage is often much, much better at the low classes, really, not all about flashy legs,? but actually harmony and JOY between rider and horse.

I just love when uneducated people who simply "follow the crowd" leave uneducated comments such as? this. God, what is the equine industry coming to? Nay, what is this world coming to?

I can't help but think how some of these top riders feel when they read other people's commets about their riding. I'm sure that they? don't mean to "abuse" their horses,

Not surprising that? Gribaldi stopped liking dressage. Poor horse. Pressure, pressure, pressure = cooked.

I'm sorry but it does show in his performances. He should abandon rollkur because he is a wonderful rider and rollkur is beneath him. The exaggerated trot and walk in front are a dead give away. Totilas? is better than Salinero but it is still cruel training whoever does it.

The only thing that has meaning here is the INCREDIBLE degree of NAIVETY still shown by people admiring so-called "champions" and never guessing, even WILLING to guess, that ignorance is the huge monster, but also the most common STANDART that lives in? every horse stable...chamion or not... Shoes, bridles, bit, forced neck flexion, rollkur, back muscules dystrophy as result of riding as only activity.... They nedd and deserve too much more....

If Edward actually ABUSED his horse it would show in his performances. Which it doesn't. The rider on the clip is not Edward, havent you noticed that you can never see the riders face clearly. As for the horse, I used to loan a horse which looked like that. Dont get me wrong, I am wholly against rollkur, its horrible, but Gal does not use? it!
