she's amazing, ... By: yorkheardt. on 21 Nov 08, 05:32:36 she's amazing, great to see how she's progressed with Andreas - look at them now!? Also, I saw APH Spiegel! He's the chestnut with 3 stockings!
shes def? my fav! By: BarnBum07. on 22 Aug 08, 04:11:58 shes def? my fav!
a pity, the clips ... By: luxretia. on 28 Mar 07, 22:05:46 a pity, the clips are just a? few sec long!!!!
how do you know ... By: 08dressageGal. on 09 Aug 08, 00:09:20 how do you know that? are you around him all the time when he's dealing with horses no! If you give me a good reason and a? real source of truth then I'll believe you. You know just because a magazine says something doesn't mean it's true...
it all depends on ... By: fallding123. on 11 May 08, 16:39:42 it all depends on each individuals temperment? and breed not everyone can cope with performing infront of a crowd. look at May King (GB) winning Badminton with King William, crowd favourites when they were parading around the arena and then the horse suffered severely with Stage fright ever since!!! Everyone should read the horses body language and let them mature into horses and not machines for money making thats all i'm getting down too!!!
Anky had salinero ... By: Jaccko14. on 10 May 08, 21:41:29 Anky had salinero at GP when he was 9. Competed in the olympics when he was 10 and won them. I dont understand why? 9 and 10 is too early?
ah! i'm not saying ... By: fallding123. on 10 May 08, 12:58:25 ah! i'm not saying he is really cruel, it's whats? been said in our horse and hound magazine by one of our top dressage riders! I'm just saying he does tend to see some potential in a young horse and use it to bloody early which does not help with maturity common sense says that! progress youngsters slowly and will have a bloody good top horse in the future that will cope better!!!
fallding - matine ... By: Jaccko14. on 10 May 08, 02:02:25 fallding - matine hasnt made it to any of these competitions because she injured herself getting off a truck. It wasnt anything to do with the young age. I think its so unfair to say andreas is cruel. He doesnt own? these horses, he just rides them for the blue horse stud.
All Mr. Helgstrand ... By: theallets. on 26 Apr 08, 00:44:23 All Mr. Helgstrand is missing is his? water ski's. Yikes!
I'm not feeling ... By: fallding123. on 09 Apr 08, 12:51:49 I'm not feeling sorry for Anky at all, her training works for all her horses and can't you see the results from this?! She's number 1 like Isabell like Andreas they all use Hyperflexion, all dressage riders do, it's beneficial for? these horses to be supple and active from behind. You only see stiff stuck up horses if they are worked in the same neck position all the time which causes stiffness! I admire Andreas but Isabell and Anky are my Idols!!!!
his passage looks ... By: dazedstars116. on 08 Apr 08, 23:58:35 his passage looks almost as good as matine's. what is the news about her? i havent really kept up with the internat'l level a whole lot. i am a? big event fan. go teddy!
well i'm sorry but ... By: fallding123. on 08 Apr 08, 21:10:04 well i'm sorry but it's been published that matine won't be as good as she was when she was at Aachen winning silver and bronze! You can't accuse someone and say "they don't know what they are talking about" when they have heard and read these comments. The world cup would of been good preparation for Matine as she's had no competition milage? for over a year and expecting her to come with goods at the olympics! I don't think so? Also there was comments of this hrse competing to early only 8 yrs!
What gets me that ... By: fallding123. on 02 Apr 08, 09:26:03 What gets me that people Slag Anky off and say she is cruel but do you ever hear her horses are off colour or unhappy in there work. But then these people think Andreas should of won the Championships 2 years ago but totally disagree with this opinion. It seems Andreas is cruel for not letting horses mature to the atmospere better and take it easy but No! He rides good horses and ruins there brains! Which isn't far perhaps Matine would of won this this if she was? progressed slowly!? who knows!?
That's too bad. ... By: dragoninu1999. on 02 Apr 08, 09:15:52 That's too bad. Thanks for the info. I still? think she is an awesome horse. Tho' my opinion of Andreas might be damaged. Something to think on.
This horse does ... By: fallding123. on 02 Apr 08, 09:15:25 This horse does move alot better than Matine and he's more established in? the down transitions than Matine!
she won't be able ... By: fallding123. on 02 Apr 08, 09:14:03 she won't be able available anymore i've told and read on the Dressage news, people have suspected that Andreas had ridden her in top level to early and is now suffering from stage fright!? and saying he also competed this horse to early at only 8 years old!. If your a Top rider and want to make it to? the Top Look after your horses!!!
I was hoping he'd ... By: dragoninu1999. on 02 Apr 08, 02:16:34 I was hoping he'd be on Blue Hors Matine... I love? that horse!
Might? be in pain!? ... By: Frutticattygirl. on 19 May 11, 21:04:20 Might? be in pain!? they are in pain!!!!!! Just the tail whipping is a clear sign of that. A horse isn't made to have his head behind vertical for hours on end.
It can either mean? ... By: alycaly. on 19 Nov 09, 00:36:00 It can either mean? they are in pain or agitated, or they are really concentrating. In this video they are just concentrating, although some of them might be in pain.
my mare is doing ... By: 1010nicole1010. on 09 Nov 09, 20:32:10 my mare is doing this when she thinks it´s too much work for her to do what i´m asking her for. and when i´m touching her very lightly with the whip she? is lifting her back. she is a funny little one only 6 years old so i let her protest agains work :-)

Horses do that when ... By: Andregolosina. on 06 Jun 09, 19:52:26 Horses do that when either they're tense? or don't want to do the raider's order.
Man, why do all ... By: darkduet. on 21 Mar 09, 21:39:02 Man, why do all these horses whip their tails around? constantly?
Thanks. The? horse ... By: lightordark24. on 21 Mar 08, 03:18:04 Thanks. The? horse is Maximus?
