The Big Grey Russian Dressage Horse..

[Nailed]

Hello.

Did anyone see this test earlier?

The horse was a real big strapping animal, and although he looked rather excited, he was also moving beautiful.

Bits of his test were a little ropey due to him anticipating

However, his Piaffe was phonomenal!!
He has amazing cadence and generally moved with so much balence and rhythm.

I wish I could have seen, I have a passion for big grey horses.

For some reason passage and piaffe make me well up with tears.

Was he the one with the spotty face? I thought he was lovely!

 

[Nailed]

hehe fantastic! To me honest, it really made me smile as it was not your typical pretty dressage horse..

He looked liked a pecheron when i first glimpsed him. but my gosh he could move!

I'm trying to find a big pic so you can see his colour, it was like he had piebald skin but just grey hair!

He's an Orlov Trotter!

An Orlov trotter! Wow, I would like one, no wonder he is good at passage etc.

He was a police horse apparently. Wasn't he stunning. Such unusual colouring. I want a pink horse (stamps feet)

 

[Seahorse]

He was awesome, his piaffe was probably the best I've ever seen and I think J L-C was quite taken with him too.

Hi,

I've just got off the phone from telling a friend all about him and his test. So impressive, he moved so well with so much hind activity for a big horse.

I was trying to also work out what colour he was as he had so many patches of pink skin, unusual on a white grey.

I watched it this avo with a friend and we spent the entire test trying to work out what he was. Thought he might have been a funny looking Iberian. Have to say, he's the ugliest horse i've seen in a long time

But wow - his cadance and piaffe/passage were just incredible. By far the best of ANY of the others we watched. Such a shame his extention wasn't quite so good. Felt a bit sorry for the horse who went after him - his passage and piaffe was appaling by comparison.

I really wish we'd heard what the commentators were saying abou him - the sound cut out a couple of tests earlier and didn't come back on until the test after him.
