lovely horse..what do you all think of the rider?
To me she is fixing her hands (like me) and tipping forwards a bit (like me).
Shoot me down in flames, but does this breed look a bit 'felly'? (Oh dear, off to hide......)

Nice little horse.. very typical of the breed :-

I spose they are somewhat felly in appearance.. but a dutch breed and quite a nice sports horse.

As for that one... not the nicest movement i have seen although the rider isnt doing that horse many favours. Havent watched it all the way through but thought i caught a slight glimpse of some dishing in the front legs.

Rider - yea, hands are collapsed and buried in the neck and in canter just makes me want to yell "sit on your bum!"

Would have prefered to see a more competant rider on board

horse looked a little underheight for the breed, but really wasn't being ridden that well..riders hands were too low and locked in place and if she really couldn't sit to the canter she maybe should have hovered above the saddle rather than bouncing with every stride..seems they managed to sell it anyway

Tierra, that video clip brought a tear to my eye! What a lovely horse! And doesn't he love the lady on top!

 

[Tierra]

Yea hes stunning isnt he?

Have to love it when you can physically see a true adoration between the horse and rider

Quite rare these days also!
