Probably the funniest dressage test you'll see

[I love my Spanish horse]

This literally had me in stitches so thought I'd share, I think there was actually a point to his demo based around competition nerves, although if i had a horse as tolerant this I think even I could do ok!

Enjoy

With dressage the rider does many movements with their body but you're not really suppose to see those movements - the horse should be floating along as if by magic and dancing along to any music, if it's dressage to music. It shouldn't appear as if any 'signal's came from the rider. This rider is overexagerrating all of his riding movements, which novices often tend to do in an attempt to get their horse to do a specific movement, especially a movement that's new to the rider/horse.

Brilliant !! Peed myself laughing !! Thank you for sharing

- That piaffe. LMAO. That would be my boys best attempt at it! Hilarious thanks for sharing!

 

[Cortez]

Absolutely brilliant! It takes a VERY good rider (and horse) to be able to do that, and he has skewered just about every awful bit of bad dressage very, very accurately.

Very funny! 'A nine, that was definitely a nine'

 

[I love my Spanish horse]

Glad you all found it as funny as I did
Oh thinks I'd gone nuts until he watched it too, and even he was ROFLMAO at the piaffe and pirouettes bit!

 

[tallyho!]

It was funny when it first came out but then you see what it parodies and it becomes a little bit macabre.
