Charlotte Dujardin Masterclass Secret Agent Part One 

Charlotte thank you for being brave in this age of negativity. These videos are amazing and such a learning experience for all of us. Thank you.

Thank you SO SO SO SO SO MUCH for posting this masterclass

Definately looks like a future superstar. As the muscles build up he will look even more amazing.

❤START AS YOU MEAN TO GO ON! Beautiful horse, Charlotte❤🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Incredible looking horse!

Can i just say i love how much in love she is with her horse 🥰 A true horsegirl in the absolute best way!

Critique of a green horse MUST be different from a "seasoned" one going Grand Prix. He's only 4. The thing to be looking at first is her body position. This horse is looking at everything, and his gaits are inconsistent because of that. He's behind the verticle because he has a weak back. He's just starting out and it will take years to stengthen him. As the video progresses, he has moments when he stays with the contact and lengthens his back, he comes up through his neck and poll. The key here, though, is her consistent position. No matter what the horse is doing, her back stays straight, her seat stays in the saddle with a soft contact, her leg is in the same position, she rises at the trot and her hands are steady with a light but consistent contact. Just because the horse is behind the vertical doesnt mean she has a strong hand or bit. He's 4 AND a stallion. I've seen so many videos of late where "top level" riders are pulled forward by the reins, with their seat coming out of the saddle with their legs all over the place. She clearly demonstrates that her steady body position is what will eventually help this horse not only learn to trust her but respond by relaxing and eventually stengthen to do the work that will be asked of him.

This horse is spectacular!

Thank you

Should those upright rein aids really be necessary on a 4 year old horse and are his hinde legs really underneath him? If they were I believe he shouldn’t be diving and behind the vertical most of the time. By the way beautiful horse.

Just love Charlotte Dujardin, she makes all horses she rides look their best!

This is amazing! Thank you for posting! Such a lovely ride and utmost care for the horse shown.

Charlotte you have done a fantastic job!!! Don’t let the bad comments deter you. You are wonderful and your riding is amazing. Your comments your daring to take a 4 year old out for riders to see are so valuable. Many thanks to you and your bravery, especially in this day and age of negativity. I can assure you this video is amazing. For those people that have no idea and are unkind look at Charlottes legs and hands. The horse is going by himself. He has his mom. He is learning to get confidence. She is allowing him to have his safety net which is his mom. For all you people who are negative, what have you all done??? I would love to see your horses and your rides! Life is so short. Why so much negativity to someone that has proven to be a fantastic horsewoman over and over again??? What are your accomplishments? Let’s start to be kind. If you think you can do better, please post your video under your comments and then let us comment on you. So just stop with the negativity. This negativity NEEDS TO STOP NOW.

Lovely riding, lovely approach! Wonderful Hester/Dujardin principles of riding…❤

What kind of breed he is??? Do the breed effects the movements?? And comfort in riding?? Thanks.

❤How tall is SA, Charlotte, please? ❤

This sport is only for the richest and the elites. But, it is still beautiful.

Moderne Pferde die niemand mehr Sitzen geschweige Reiten kann. 😂 Was findet man daran toll?

Charlotte,stop the Rollkur,go back to the way you rode Valegro,there is nothing beautiful or natural about a tense slathering horse with a blue tongue. You are such an amazing equestrian,the horses deserve that.

Is he supposed to be foaming at the mouth like that?

Why force a horse to do this kind of intensive athletics so early in their lives?

These horses are getting way too hot in their breeding.

Modern 'sport' using horses needs to come to an end.

I guess we just skip the relaxation? This horse is uncomfortable and nowhere near ready for an upper-level frame. Sad. This horse can barely breath.

Open mouth, constantly behind the vertical, a horse, many years to young for this : that's abuse, and has nothing to do with Classical Dressage. This sport is lost

That's not a life for a 4 year old. It's so sad that dressage has come to this.

How lovely to show the horse way over bent and yanked all over. This shyte makes me sick. The EARS are supposed to be the top most part of the horse when he is in a frame. His walk is lateral ie pacing not walking and that shows stress. When you see a horse walking and his front foot and hind foot kind of form a "V" then that is the perfect walk. Horrendous and the general public believe this because they don't know differently but I trained in Germany I know what is good and what is not.

Once again about money not the wellbeing of the horses

Stop this animal abuse and cruelty 👎👎👎🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️😡😡😡

Look at his neck, and mouth, foaming. This is horse abuse no matter how pretty you dress it up. Poor horses, we certainly enslave them.

I could puke when I see such a young horse being so artificially collected and "schooled". It doesn't learn to find its own balance but is shaped by the rider's hand. It's the curse of modern horses that they offer themselves so easily. It doesn't learn to seek connection to the rider's hand and to come into a healthy forward-downward movement, to arch its back to properly carry the rider. As soon as a horse has learned this, as soon as it allows itself to be driven and doesn't run on its own - which these modern horses strongly offer - then the rider can begin to pick it up, and this happens depending on the age. This will be the next dressage crutch

❤WONDERFUL COMMON SENSE, SO GLAD TO HEAR THIS FROM SN OLYMPIAN. I WISH YOU ALL THE BEST-SA IS GOING PLACES 💐🫶✨🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿❤
