I've seen a lot of current rides and some? of them are almost mechanical, watching this video made me actually Happy, it felt like it was a Man and his Horse and their own movements.

I rarely see horses nowadays at the International level whom are so solid and correct....todays riders could take some pointers from watching these two and how to ride a horse on the bit instead of behind all the time.

So you have to be successful and you might more readily use methods that are working against a horse. The horse has to function and is no team partner anymore but a tool to earn your living.

@ponypartnerincrime ... By: LaurieH57. on 23 Mar 12, 15:46:24 @ponypartnerincrime. You are correct - they don't buy their own horses. Neither did Dr. Klimke. They rely on others to buy horses for them. Therefore the pressure to win and at any cost is even more because they are professionals. Dr. Klimke was not a professional trainer; he was an amateur. There is pressure to win for everyone,? of course, But when your livelihood depends upon it, watch out.

But most of the people that go into the 4 star events aren't on their own horse, but a horse that was brought to them for training.? They can pick and choose, but only to a certain extent.
It might not be that everyone is simply copying them. If everyone else is emphases on dressage, to be competitive you have to start really focusing on it.
@ponypartnerincrime ... By: LaurieH57. on 23 Mar 12, 01:12:05 @ponypartnerincrime IMHO, when prols are allowed to compete in the Olympics, their business is on the line. They will then have a tendency to do anything to win. They then buy really hot, sensitive horses to get the "brilliance". ? But then have a problem with control. Then because they are the really big names in the sport, everyone else copies them to compete. Perhaps there is no cause and effect, but the decline started around the same time as allowing pros to compete in the Olympics.

BTW, I was in those bleachers, too! Hot, hot, hot. This was a brilliant ride!

GP horses we see at World Cups or Olympics are tense, drooling heavily, the movements irregular and nervous.... stiff, fabricated horses.... this is natural riding.... too bad that pig Sjef Janssen and his horrible wife bullied their way into the FEI, and now even the Federation accepts that horrible rollkur and those "quick fix" methods of training...
