Holy hell! If anyone wants to know what dressage is, Morlands totlias with edward Gal at the European champeonships 2009! It WILL be on you tube. EVERYONE should watch it! Dressage fans or not!
I thought that. He looked heavy and dull in comparison. Ok her halt was marginally better than thursday but still not a Real Halt. I say a 4. Thursday I gave her a 1 for being able to wave! lol
Edward Gal is my new fav dressage rider. Sorry Carl! lol Although I really admire Carl for hacking, jumping and turning out his horses!
'yanking and booting!' glad you don't watch me ride

lol you know what I mean, I'm not the tidyest of riders and I have many flaws but when your watching the best inthe world you expect some degree of stillness! lol
I payed attention to the last to go, and was glad because it was a lovely horse and a nice test and just such a shame that she had to follow Totilas and Salinero.
Anky and Salinero are sooo much improved, everything seems more relaxed and light compared to some of their rides in this past.
Hmm, i love Edward Gal and think hes an amazing rider, but i also think TM is a little over produced for my liking.I much prefer Parcivals "naturalness"
Thought Parzival was absolutely beautiful, but Toto was out of this world! Felt a bit sorry for Salinero, he and Anky did a lovely test but didn't have the 'chicken skin' effect on me!! I do think Mistral Horjis has more to come....atho he got a great score, he wasn't as relaxed as he could have been. Exciting stuff!
