The Gelderlanders are very nice. I have been in charge of 7 lovely black Gelderlanders and they were a delight and very happy to work with me and had such lovely natural paces they were all young and it was all very natural for them , they seemed happy with plenty of work and plenty of time in the field being playful and having fun. They were very tough in bad weather and not that greedy too.😇
There is sooo much bad in keeping a horse's head vertical like that, it really is cruel. Results of side reins training. Esp in dressage. I look forward to a day where no horse has to bear the pain weight and burden to being forced to do sports where there are bits, tie downs and baring reins-as well as spurs and crops. ' Doing a lot of studying here and certainly on bits and its pretty darn sad and also how ignorance never helps anyone who sees "what they "believe is okay" because they don't know.
Will someone please tell this "commentator" that the nose should be slightly in front of the vertical and not over bent? And, that it's not a fault for the for the horse to work in a relaxed and contented fashion? It's thinking like this that more or less drove me to Cowboy Dressage, where the emphasis is on a good working relationship between horse and rider.
Never tire of seeing a happy, supple horse allowed to express itself, and a rider clearly leading by example. Not for me the robotic, exaggerated, strangled miserable horses we see so much of now...
