They should have their hands cut off but they could do just as much damage with prostheses

In that klimke video the weymouth bradoon is very high

I never liked klimke when he was at his height, something was not quite right about it

Years after i read another interview he did, when challenged that certain things were not quite performed as they should be, correctly, he actually said. ' i like to win, i do what it takes to win'

I too am gutted to see Ingrid on a horse who is so tense.

I do like that ingid still doesn't have blocks on her saddle, and you never see her 'water-skiing' on the horses' mouth. I think her hands do look 'relatively' forward and soft? I'm not sure if she is wearing spurs or not in this clip, but she is using her heels a lot The horse is clearly tense and unhappy - I wish she had just acknowledged this and retired, instead of battling through.

In the ingrid video her heels are up so much, it may be the light or shadow but it seems there are darker brown marks on his sides where spurs would contact

She sits behind her feet and is cited by those (like Catherine Haddad) who think that we SHOULD be behind our feet, that it's the best way for many riders to achieve a neutral pelvis. In fact someone who runs a classical discussion group on FB thinks that you have to be behind your feet, by definition, to achieve a neutral pelvis.

I'm very glad she likes an open seat with minimal blocks but either the saddle is putting her in the wrong position (and highly likely it's playing a part) or she's making some decisions that counter the laws of physics.

We seem to have forgotten that how we sit is the root of everything.

The hot spots on showjumpers are likely to reveal the use of irritants like capsaicin.

I probably won't like the answer - but why would that be used?

 

[equinerebel]

Are there any truly ‘good ones’.

I’m no longer convinced there are

 

[Crazy_cat_lady]

Agree

To sensitise the leg so that touching a pole hurts. Which of course is the kind of thing a psychopath would do.

It's all very demoralizing since we are so far beyond knowing better that it's beginning to look like something between sheer arrogance and actual clinical grade delusion.

I think we should go back to the original principles of dressage, which was cavalry riding, and unless the horse is of the type and temperament to actually cope in battle, it shouldn't be presented.

It should be sound and sturdy enough for useful riding, brave enough not to be so constantly stressed by basic day to day life that it is bordering on exploding at any minute, and with economical enough movement that it can cross a battle field efficiently.

And then we can get rid of knee blocks on saddles, double bridles, and spurs while we are at it and everything can go in a basic saddle and snaffle bridle. This deep seat/ leveraged knees/ hold the front/ kick strategy of horse training just has to stop.

Maybe we should introduce a judge-ridden segment where unless the horse can be ridden by someone else, in a snaffle, and go around sweetly, you are deemed not to have schooled it well enough.

This why boots are or should be removed after round and examined by steward….any sign or indeed smell of anything untoward is investigated…..

It feels like lots of people only really care about if these people are successful

E.g. a certain British SJ, who had that "incident" at Olympia(?) But was being widely rooted for and celebrated on here because he won a gold medal

Jeez. There are literally no words for that level of calculated cruelty.
