I have to agree witth TelH that clip makes your soul soar but there are so many horses to mention I could not get the clips up being a technophobe, is that a word ?

Some of the greats and I am sure I dont even have to direct you to the clip ok I cant:o but last years gold cup the second and third I was sick afterwards the lovely Desrt Orchid, Milton, Headley Britania , Red Rum and Aldiniti who won the national when I was young and I can remember the commentator saying it would be a fairytale if he won and my mum and dad telling me we had to shout for him.

When he won they were looking like blubbering :eek: unheard of in our house, I just wish vidoe clips were more common when I was a kid then we would have had them of Midget or Senruf Astek the lovely pony dartmoor I learned to ride on, and Blue Steak the horse that broke my dads heart and made me realise your parents can have a mental breakdown.;) I wish we had a clip of them.

I also wish I could link you to some of the greats I have mentioned but If anyone can fel free to do so, I am going to bed but would love to see some when I get back from the stables tomorrow, if not I can force my teenage son to help me sad I know.:o

Love Stacy Westfall and the one of the horses being rescued from the island is wonderful - dunno if any of you have Goshka Ringo progeny, but it was his sire, King, that was one of the ridden horses that lead them to safety!

Yes the rescue just wonderfull oh and stacy is great, this is her doing a demo about training methods and wizards baby doll, sound isnt great so maybe needs a couple of plays to get the gist, counter canter brideless !!! just amazing and how many hours she put in,

Reiner Klimke and Ahlerich doing their victory lap at the 1984 Olympics. :) So light, so beautiful.

The most popular video I've added to my blog (multiple hits every day since I posted it) is the one of the bullfighting Lusitano/QH Merlin (second video on this post). Spectacular horse; bull isn't killed but it does get maimed :( (why they can't use something that sticks rather than stabs, I don't know)

Merlin is amazing, but there is just something about Dr Klimke and Ahlerich - I forgot how easy they made everything look.

There are some great posts on here - have spent far too much time looking at them all!

Still no guesses as the Spanish lady/horse combination doing dressage/flamenco on horseback, she doing so with no reins? Wish I had written their names down as it was lovely to watch
