Edward Gal's Schooling Progam 

That mare is out behind. His program is backwards. Tempo and speed control should be learned in 1st level. He is white knuckles all the way. The Newbies will follow this bologna and scratch their heads wondering why their horse is always pulling, rushing and evading.

He is super effective yes. But i dont like how strong on that horses mouth. Its not relaxed it is wound up like a spring but blessed with such amazing athleticism.

Horrible mind @Susanne. Your mind, your relationship to horses/animals is sick.

Dressage isn't about control. It's about connection and relaxation. Nothing with horses is about control and thinking that is disgusting.

Kat Heys no. Just no. This is horse abuse. You cannot justify it. Totilas was his most successful horse and in most of his tests he looks like he cant breathe and his hind legs are not as powerful as his front which are key signs of rolkur. I help out at a Dressage yard with top performance horses and this horse is getting abused. Do your research before you reply back to me.

Kat Heys True, but doesn’t make the fact better that he’s training on rollkur. A shame considering his capabilities.

"Horse abuse..." Like Edward Gal nor any other upper level rider who has spent years perfecting their riding and training cares what these commentators think. Just because you can throw around 10-cent words like "rollkur" and abuse doesn't make you qualified to know what the hell you are talking about. ANd I'd be willing to bet these commentators are the same women you see at horse shows whose horses run over the top of them and do whatever the heck they want.

lib yaneed actaully we are the women who spent a god damn life time training our horses up to their potential because we do it the right way... we are educated vets, chiropractors and caring horse owners who have years and years of experience and participate in extensive research on the effects on rolkur.... So no we arent Edward Gal but he really doesnt know as much about the inside of a horse as i do...maybe he is a good rider but his training methodes arent good for the horses at all ... Maybe i wont set a new freestyle dressage world record but atleast im not hurting my horse . So as a matter of fact im even more qaulified than those riders to make a call on animal welfare. So you should go educate yourself before you want to be a sexist stereotypical arsehol!

And then why should we think any higher of your opinion then. Who are you and when was the last time you rode in the olympics?

Joseph Monaco probably a KWPN aka 'Dutch Warmblood'

The ironical thing is that many aspects of what you see here are in fact very classical. Classical does not mean only "no rollkur", it also means working towards very much of what you see here in this video. And now fire free.

Maura Ravenhurst no I havent but I work with people who ride hot horses everyday and compete them ect. My trainer has just come back from working with Carl Hester and has taken loads of horses that were more difficult then this out and would never train them with rolkur. This. Is. Abuse. Why cant people see it. Its abuse and this horse is clearly in pain. If you want to learn something go watch Carl or Charlottes masterclasses. They are way more pleasent

Or don’t put a horse there? Wtf is wrong with people. We want and expect so much from a horse and then use “i have to keep control” as an excuse???

🤣🤣👎👎👎 Relaxed like Totilas or Clocks Undercover? Or Gribaldi or all the other wrecks? Try to learn something about horse anatomy.

I think you should change the osteopath then.

I love how his horses perform so comfortably and effortlessly with confidence and calmness. Watch the tail and ears.. he is very consistent... favorite all time dressage trainer.

​@@Darcourseyou don't understand anything about horses

@@dog2484 Hahahaha!

BeautifulDancingFreestyle2016 you are placing all your focus on the front end, and not loojing at the hind end, or the big picture. His horses are always supple, balanced, listening, expressive, and elegant.

I also agree with you. It's a lot easier slowing a transition down, when the horse is continually pulling forward. The transition looks better, but the horse is always in control. He can't do the transition from slow to fast with this horse because this horse is pulling him around the arena the whole time. Warmblood Horses have been bred for centuries to have those slow to fast transitions naturally. All this rider proved in this video is that he is not in control of his horse.Period. If fact, even the Grand Prix and Olympic riders have no control over their horses either. The horses are way more intelligent than their riders.

Nope, she is correct. He is rollkuring his horses. Maybe not in this video. But I wouldn't give him my horse, even if he offered me a million dollars.

Suzanne Senser * his horses are deffinately not supple at all the point of the hind qauters coming beneath the horse is 1. To distribute weight more evenly through the body 2. To engage the core and round the back which is essential for the healt of the horse. I mean no hate or disrespect but you clearly aren't well educated on the true importance of proper schooling and the consequences of Rollkur. "Art2ride" is an excellent site that will explain the above mentioned with alll the medical proof

Yes, Art2Ride is a really good channel to educate. Good suggestion.
