To me it's a little sad she's still working what is very much modern type of dressage interested in eye catching movement not biomechanical correctness and longevity. It's sad any horse should be used for that but especially so for that mare imo. She's got a gorgeous kind face

The horse is on the BD site anyway.

Where is the horse now and who are they with?
.

Just go to the search window for the forum, up top, and put in Alicia Dickinson and/or Fielmich.

The mare Gretchen was sent to UK from Australia, by Alicia's ex business partner Natasha Althoff, for use in AD's riding school -- set up to attract 'high net worth individuals', willing to pay $720.00 per lesson.

Old YouTube videos of 'Your Riding Success' run by Althoff include several of Gretchen, all of which are extremely disturbing, as are these two individuals.

It seems that false narratives about what money can and can’t buy in horse sport is causing a lot of problems.

The paradox is that those who are producing (breeding/ schooling) horses need to maintain the narrative that you can ‘buy success’ to be able to fund our business/ sport/ competition.

Sometimes this comes back to bite us when ‘high net worth individuals’ have unrealistic expectations, pay the likes of charlotte £000 for a lesson and expect to come out an Olympic Medal Winner.
