Ah yes, he may …
Ah yes, he may move well – but are we watching a showing class or FEI dressage competition?
If an FEI dressage competition then the FEI rules need to be more closely adhered to.
If showing class, then yes he deserves 95% !!

Perhaps all the …
Perhaps all the advocates of Edward Gal should watch this video…Edward Gal en Moorland’s Totilas clinic NIC Zuidlaren deel 1… it might be enlightening. I’d like to say you don’t have to be a pro to know what is right and wrong, in fact most experts don’t know, let alone care, what is wrong at all.

Ein tolles Pferd, aber der “spektakuläre” Trab ist schrecklich!!!

I kinda sucks because if this is whats winning not very many horses in this world are going to be able to compete with that. Impressive, but I don’t find if enjoyable to watch.

Only trying to …
Only trying to promote CORRECT dressage training – and suggesting that the FEI rules be followed…. or changed !! In my opinion the judges have just got so use to seeing this style of riding that they have come to expect it and think that it is correct.

Good thing you’re on youtube to tell all the experts they’ve got it all wrong.

Yes, the knees do …
Yes, the knees do almost touch his nose – BUT SHOULD NOT according to the FEI dressage rules the hind canon and front canon bones should be parallel – so again not deserving of the numerous ‘perfect 10’s’ that he receives!
