That girl can ride!!! Never ceases to amaze me how she brings out the absolute best in the horse. She deserves all the accolades that she gets!

Wow!!!! This was such an amazing ride by this extremely talented horse and rider team. Brilliant! ❤

The pat on the neck after the tempi's. Golden.

Charlotte Dujardin is always flawless omg LOVE IT

I believe this combination might end up being better than her and Valegro. And it’s not because Imhotep is necessarily a better horse. As fantastic of a rider as she was back then with Valegro, she’s a lot better now. She has more experience and went the right way with it. This is the most kind and sympathetic riding that you will ever see. She may just be the best dressage rider ever now. Bravo to her and bravo to Carl as well for producing this rider and all these wonderful horses. And I’m saying this without even being British.

OMG, Pete looks so strong and balanced now. Congrats to this amazing test, Charlotte. 🎉

This is just art!!

Awesome Charlotte, Lottie, Carl & Gareth - so totally deserved! All brilliant tests! ❤🌹🥰

YESSSSSSS 🎉🎉🎉 MY FAV TEAM ❤

Such an amazing test and good to see some top class riding .and good luck all .

Beautiful piaffe, so rarely see it done so well by a horse that is not Iberian. As for the commentator saying it’s too base narrow; rubbish, is putting it politely.! That is what it looks like when it’s done correctly from a horse with great construction and great trainers.

Truely Amazing 🇺🇸❤

Absolutely gorgeous!

Is it fashion in England the high and short necks? I prefer the neck of Valegro.

Thank God some competitive dressage riders know how to ride. I watched, I think it was a Dutch bird, the other day and I thought I was watching a wrestling competition. What was really depressing were the comments calling it an amazing performance.

Incredible ❤

wundervolle Performance❤

A wonderful performance! I was a bit worried about the piaffe. That might have been an issue due to balancing the weight of rider and horse together . The laws of Physics teach us -like with down hill skiing- if your center of gravity is always in the middle of the line between your two legs and your weight is evenly distributed, that you will never fall. But, as soon as you shift the distribution of your weight between right and left leg, your muscles will have to adapt and compensate for the weight shift, so that you do not topple over. It becomes more complex, if you have four legs like horses. In the case of this piaffe performances I wachted the muscles of the hindlegs moving beautifully and strong but head and neck were so closed so that in order to avoid to loose balance the front legs had to come closer to the hindlegs. I was wondering how a horse with a longer back or a wider (more open) neck would have managed. And please, do not be offended by my possibly stupid comment. I am not an expert but I truly enjoy studying movements of horses with an without a rider on top of it to gain a better understanding which ones are still correct, healthy and right or possibly damaging and wrong. Cheers from Germany

Were, were beautifully ❤

Why do I not like it? The horse is not light. Its weight pulls down and is very much shortened instead of real upwards. This should not be the case at this level.

Absolutely fantastic ride on her new champion ❤😅

Wow!! that gave me goosebumps ❤🎉

I loved this ride. I the cadence and range at 1/2 pass fantastic. The even lift in piaffe and expression in passage. Then the tightness of spiral in pirouette, terrific. Announcer seems to always have something negative to say. I mute her

Would love to see him more relaxed.

Ich finde ihn ein wenig zu eng eingestellt

loved that 5:21

Wonderful ride, commentator constantly saying narrow at the base, almost perfect ride and very well balanced ❤❤

Losgelassen? Oder perfekt durchgedrückt?

OMG FLICKA MUSIC 😭

Wauw he can bounce on his legs ❤

10's for Pirouettes, beautifully engaged Piaffe. Shifting weight to the hind end, as it should be. I'm confused about the "narrow base" in the Paffe. Seems to me that's a result of the legs coming under to lift the horse.

Don't forget team has 4 riders!

I just wish he wouldn't be so short in the neck and not bounce the croup up and down in the piaffe.

Dujardin come to save the day! Providing a great role model for younger riders - showing them how to overbend their horses, tighten their nosebands so their mouth foams up desirably rather than gaping unattractively (although she could probably work on this as I can see straight through Fry's mouth at 3.16! Whoops!), goat on the hill piaffes with that characteristic jerky movement of a horse that knows he'll get a spur to the ribs if he doesn't perform - just fantastic and the epitome of modern dressage. Absolutely love how this horse's hind legs never come close to tracking up, how his mouth is so distressed that spittle lands on his chest, his completely atrophied intra and supraspinatus muscles, the way his nose nearly touches his chest at 5.39 as he hauls his crippled body into a pirouette and the way his eye never once softens, not even when he's finally given his head.

Beautiful ride. I really wish the commentator would hold her tongue about 30% more than she does. Her constant micro-criticisms are an annoying distraction from the beauty of it all. Someone please talk to her! If she could spare us 30% of the negative thoughts running through her head she could possibly work her way up to a higher mark. I give her commentary a 4.7

Where the FK do I see CD's Freestyle ???????????????????????????????????????????????????

How do these poor horses breathe with their heads so pulled in . Its such an unnatural position for a horse to be in.

Frey is the best

That piaffe hurts to watch with front legs far under body. Hopefully Imhotep won't follow Freestyle steps and end up lame.

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

The English judge consistently marked the English riders three to four percent more, favouritism is not welcome and is cheating.

This ride is stiff and choppy, losing energy. He's cranked. Constant moving, grimacing with Pete's lips. It doesn't look comfortable. It looks forced.

Can’t understand what the male commentator is doing here. He has no knowledge of horses or dressage, just keeps interrupting and banging on about previous scores and rankings. He needs sacking.
