Edward Gal shows one of his works in progress

[Peer]

During the break at the Dutch Indoor Championships today Edward was granted permission by the organizers to let his horse Undercover get used to the public.

Watch the video of a work in progress

Argh can't watch the video now but thank you for posting, Peer -- I bet it's yet another masterclass in riding! Looking forward to seeing it later.

Lovely horse and he is such a quiet rider

Hopefully it will be a superstar for him. I am not sure if the quality of the recording is poor, but the horse looks like it's built like a boat, it's so long in the back.

To my very uneducated eye, very nice indeed.

Can you imagine that all horses which showed at the Dutch Indoor Championships were stretched this way. But at least we had some live broadcasts.

Check back because my Sony Vegas Pro is working on the aspect ratio !

thankyou for posting, very enjoyable....lets hope he keeps the ride....

I doubt Edward is going to have too much trouble funding his rides for awhile, providing his patron's personal dramas don't intervene.

That is why he had signed a 10 year contract with Glock. And this is the first horse under the name Glock.

But never say never in soccer or equestrian sports

Aspect ratio on vid has now been corrected



Anyone else think the horse is lacking length in the front end compared to the size of the back end? He's very nice, but if he has finished growing I'm not sure if he is stellar?

Do we know how old he is?

Glock's Undercover is 11Yr (Ferro x Donnerhall/Roemer). I have seen this performance live, and the video doesn't do him well. Like Edward stated at the press conference after this training round "he has to gain more strength" .
To qualify this horse for the Olympics he needs two international competitions in which he scores 64+%. But he has another four horses which have to follow this route.

BTW Glock bought this horse for him two months ago.
