Isabell Werth debuts Queenspark Wendy 

Selbst erstmal besser machen und maul halten

Also that she is competing the horse so soon after acquiring it….i would want to get to know the horse and build a proper partnership first

Yes! Last year, the animal-cruelty training methods of the Danish dressage rider and company mogul Andreas Helgstrand came to light through a TV report. The pictures from the Helgstrand stable showed brutal training, without any compassion or understanding for the horse. Andreas Helgstrand was banned and is now not allowed to ride in tournaments or train any youngsters for a few years. But who cares when Helgstrand runs “training centers” all the way to the USA? He recently organized a master class in Florida with prominent speakers, including Isabell Werth. Is it really necessary to appear smiling side by side with an animal abuser who has so blatantly violated ethical principles? Ms. Verth and Mr. Kittel enable Mr. Helgstrand to circumvent his ban by introducing his top horses and so business can continue in the USA. Ms. Winter-Schulze should be stripped of the Federal Cross of Merit again. Website Helgstrand News Januars Queenparks Wendy and Jovian are facing an exciting sporting year as both top dressage horses will have a new rider in the saddle. Helgstrand Dressage, in collaboration with Wendy's owner Bolette Wandt from Château de Fontaine, has entered into a partnership with the world-renowned German dressage rider Isabell Werth and Madeleine Winter-Schulze for the talented gold medal mare Queenparks Wendy. Additionally, a partnership has been formed with the Swedish top rider Patrik Kittel for the fantastic breeding stallion and Grand Prix horse Jovian. Both horses are at the peak of their careers, so it only makes sense that they should have optimal conditions to develop their sporting potential while Andreas Helgstrand is out of competition in 2024. Sidste år kom den danske dressurrytter og firmamogul Andreas Helgstrands dyremishandlingsmetoder frem gennem en tv-reportage. Billederne fra Helgstrand-stalden viste brutal træning, uden nogen medfølelse eller forståelse for hesten. Andreas Helgstrand blev udelukket og må nu ikke køre i turneringer eller træne nogle unge i nogle år. Men hvem bekymrer sig, når Helgstrand driver "træningscentre" helt til USA? Han organiserede for nylig en mesterklasse i Florida med prominente talere, herunder Isabell Werth. Er det virkelig nødvendigt at fremstå smilende side om side med en dyremishandler, der så åbenlyst har overtrådt etiske principper? Ms. Verth og Mr. Kittel fra Sverige gør det muligt for Mr. Helgstrand at omgå sit forbud ved at introducere sine topheste, så forretningen kan fortsætte i USA. Fru Winter-Schulze burde fratages forbundskorset for fortjeneste igen.

Finally!!! Someone who sees what I do!!! Thank you! I come from Dressage in the 1970's and 80's. I am no expert or Olympian rider. But I was fortunate enough to train and learn my seat. How in the world did this lady get named the "Queen of Dressage"? She is a horrid rider. Noisy legs, hands, seat. I swear she has to change her panties after every ride! Completely over-exaggerated movement of the seat. Behind the vertical at all the extended movements. Over gripped hands, very "noisy". No balance. Horses trained in Rollukur or whatever u call it. She just plain sucks. I've been banned with my comments before but truth hurts.

Amen

You mean traumatized

I completely agree . Watching her swinging body in the one times was almost funny. This was a laboured performance with Isabel hanging onto a tight curb all of the test. The passage and piaffe has no hind lift. Wendy also kicked out once due to discomfort. Why didn't she stay home and work on the self carriage for a while. With care and sensitive riding this is a nice horse. Rushed before she was ready . That of course wasn't Isabel .

Yes, she's very noisy, disjointed and laboured in her style.

She brings out the best in the horses she rides. That looks like one hell of a huge trot to sit. Canter too, bouncy!

Isabell usually looks like she is having a workout on the horses back. I have yet to see any true lightness in her riding….

Looks a little rough

10 or something. Shame she's already broken

ja luft schon nur so weit wird dieses pferd nicht kommen. weil werth es nicht zulässt. lg

Horrible team. Poor horse with a terrible bad rider.

🤢

Kein harmonie

With tension and absolutely no engagement?

Sorry but you've no clue.

You should put on some glasses. This is horrible riding and you can see clearly that the horse dont have the strength to do this. And Werth is hanging in the horses mouth. You think this is ballet? I would say more like a rave party...

@@Chrissi966GE I am entitled to my opinion, whether or not you like it , or agree

@@user-ct6sp6wh3e It cannot be an opinion if it is factually wrong.
