i think this is amazing

Aww I was also amazed when I fist saw this video a few months ago, and again had no interest in dressage at the time.

Their performance was way better than the winner, it was just so much more exciting to watch.

Winner may have been technically better, but was a boring performance in comparison. I've not seen any other dressage routine that makes me go wow more so than this horse, she was simply amazing.

Such a shame she's retired x
 
I don't really know what to think of Moorland's Totilas (horse in the second video).

I find his legs wheeling around like that to be a complete distraction from what the rest of him is doing, for example, he barely seems to track up in working trot. It's like the front end is doing all the work, but I thought it was all supposed to come from behind? Plus, the only reason that he trots like with his front legs is because he is ridden rollkur, and his lower neck muscles are so short that when he is actually allowed to lift his head, his front legs automatically come up that high. I just think it's barbaric!

Not that I can judge, I just wondered what other's people's opinions are?

IMO, the grey mare is far more beautiful and moves so beautifully.
