🐎 Dressage Individual Grand Prix Freestyle | Tokyo Replays 

Thankya

The IOC should create the Bizarro Olympic Games and include equestrian, climbing, aquatic marathon, surfing, sailing, race walk, among others.

@@kildarealeksen4140 Well, riding used to be a real sport.....watch R. Klimke.

Thx

Thank you!

Im not a fan of it

Yes!

Hi, London 2012 was fully uploaded too, it's just that Rio wasn't.

You wouldn't happen to be a horse girl by any chance?

I agree! They also need to show jumping and the cross country!

@@KappaDaKappa someone who likes horses Isn’t a horse girl

This kind of sport should be banned its Animal abuse 😤 😡👎

@@angelaschmalzbauer Yet another keyboard warrior who most probably has never owned or let alone ridden a horse in their entire life - sad person.

@@angelaschmalzbauersome but not all

yup, the riders name is steffen peters and the horse is suppenkasper aka "the rave horse". one of the only riders i like on the us team but one of my favorite ones. i agree equine sports need to be aired more, so many people also misunderstand the sport but if people saw it more maybe id hear less people screaming about how "it isnt a sport the horse does all the work" :/

@@sausageswiper6657 It was a beautifully choreographed routine. I was shocked when it ended. Just zipped by.

とても美しい素晴らしいスポーツと思います。馬に敬意を差し上げたい。馬は素晴らしい動物ですね。いとおしい存在です。ありがとう。立派なアスリートですね。

What's the name of this horse?

@@alicjas3974 2:45 Horse's name is Suppenkasper👍🏼

I agree with you 110%, + Dorothee is one of the nicest, kindest people you will ever come across, she is simply lovely. Fair play to Charlotte though, she always pulls it out of the bag - immensely proud of both Charlotte and Carl

so true, also a shame that her music was started before she put her hand up so she had to push to keep up with it all the way through.

It‘s always the guys in dressage who have better taste in terms of music!

@@tabackeri1842 Yes!!

Yes, it was really wonderful to watch and I thought he was fabulous!

Honestly his reactions are a delight to watch. Looks like he's having a blast! It's this kind of dressage we want to see. And what a beautiful horse...

I’m so thrilled I have presented these rides for us to see all over the world! It takes so many years of precise training and is such an inspiration for us dressage riders to keep trying to do our best in this very beautiful but difficult sport!

It's like his hooves never touch the ground

nah cuh

998😅😅😅​@@luciemarinov129

thank you! its so frustrating to see people make such claims like dressage should be banned despite knowing nothing about it.

Subtlety is often hard to explain and appreciate, especially with so many people used to wild entertainment and instant results. Dressage needs to be seen prime time, especially in the Olympics, so experts have a chance to explain it, promote the horses and riders and answer questions from the public. Let the conversations begin!

Whoever says it isn’t a sport is crazy. Have you seen how fit all riders are? I ride every day, several horses. If I stop riding for only 10 days, when I ride again I will wake up sore everywhere. The other day a trainer asked me to ride my KWPN. After 5 minutes he was panting and asked me to wait till he caught his breath before he gave me his impressions.

Inviterei queste persone a fare una semplice ora di lezione in maneggio: livello principiante. Poi ne parliamo...

Its disgusting cruel animal abuse 👎 😡

Its not a sport its Animal Abuse 👎🤬😡

I love Sanceo and Sabine. They have just the most wonderful partnership. Very classical and well educated horse and rider, you can just tell in each movement that Sanceo was trained correctly and that Sabine knows just how to pull the very best from him.

I so agree with you, one lioness, SO much time and expertise…. and all for a relatively empty grandstand

Yes he was quite wonderful!

Yea it was weird but maybe he just misses toto

@@Eeee-xl4xb REALLY late reaction but that still is not an excuse to use music that doesn’t fit the horse. I think that if he had proper music that his score would’ve been way higher too.

Poor horses 🐎 getting mistreated

It's on the NBC Olympic channel.

He's just gorgeous!

EVERYONE WHO WANTS TO WATCH THIS REPLAY, PLEASE LIKE THIS COMMENT! ⬆

honestly tho!! london 2012 posted all their equestrian events in full and i want to see tokoyo do the same

Poor horses 🐎 getting forced to dance, very hard cruel training 👎🤬😡

@@angelaschmalzbauer but why u gotta reply to me just to say that?

yes i am waiting for that too

@@tutiastari6114 😉 GREAT!

I loved seeing their whole team celebrate a personal best after!

No equestrian would ever blink on that ahaha

you mean extended trot?

Poor horses getting mistreated and forced to do those unnatural steps 😡👎🤬

@@angelaschmalzbauer All horses can do these steps in nature. They are not un-natural

Macht mich stolz am Ende unsere Hymne zu hören😅

Also in keeping the pace controlled?

Yes, in dressage aids (which are the gestures that communicate with the horse and are basically hands-reins, legs, body assets) should be as less visible as possible. The difficulty is in the training (it takes years to train the horse properly) and to not do mistakes. So you have to be very connected with your horse and VERY focused, both rider and horse. You have to be very composed while you're giving very complex signals to your horse. The horse shouldn't give any signal of distress, like swishing tail or pulling back the ears. If the horse spooks (which is not uncommon) or disobeys or doesn't understand the commands is of course a deduction in the final score.

@@stellablu333 thanks!

Only one video on Eurosport with Sandra Auffarth.

Andrew Hoy has one.

They’re just “patting” the horse, kinda like patting a dog on the head. The horse is used to it as they do it all the time.

Poor horses 🐎 getting mistreated and abused 🤬👎😡

@@angelaschmalzbauer I’m sorry but what on earth are you on about? A horse has it’s own mind just like any other animal they can’t perform at this level of they are unhappy with their job Animal welfare is a huge priority within the sport, there are so many rules and regulations all there for the sake of the horses, at this level all horses get vet checked multiple times to ensure that they are 100% fine, after every single ride they check to make sure that none of the equipment is used wrongfully or discomforting for the horses as well. Saw you commenting earlier about this being un natural and no it isn’t these horses are not only bred for this but all of these movements are something horses naturally do while excited especially the piaffe and passage. A horse that’s not willing to work won’t, dressage itself is the foundation to all riding and also great exercise to ensure that a horse is happy, healthy and building muscles. These animals are great athletes willing to work with their rider because they are a team that work together a mistreated horse cannot perform at this level at all, let alone they won’t work with their rider. Dressage take years and years of hard work, I’ve ridden for 14 years I’ve competed at a high level for years now and I can tell you one thing these horses are treated like actual royalty they mean the world to us and they are the best partners to work with within sport. You sitting here and commenting these things spread false information and discredit all of us equestrians who work hard for years and years, we get injured, we overwork ourselves psychically and mentally yet one of the first things you learn is that no matter what it’s never the horses fault. Yes there is abuse within every single discipline of this sport not only dressage but that’s such a small portion there is no reason for you to sit around and drag the whole sport and all the hard work of these teams through the dirt. All and all what you are saying is extremely uneducated and you come across as rather close minded.

John Kyle and Lucinda Green (former 3 day eventer champion); not sure why they couldn't have asked a former Dressage champion but hey, what do I know. :-)

THANKS ❤

No?

Do you mean Valegro? He retired some years ago.
