What beautiful pirouettes! All of it, really, but the soft, clean pirouettes really jumped out. Precise, pivoting right on that back foot. These days I tend to think that working equitation is the last discipline where such harmonious work can be found. Lovely!
I'm new to watching this, but after a lifetime of working with horses in varied disciplines I again have to say the young and older women are far more empathetic and intuitive with their horses than the men. It has always been thus!!!❤
@@doannad.1518his ears are flicking back and forth as if to talk to the rider, they are loose, not tense. His tail is held up and out, and looks relaxed. His jaw and mouth are still, he is not bothered by the bit, not frothing, not clamped tightly shut. That horse is relaxed and enjoying his work.
@@Roheryn100 I know you're smart, but this time you didn't get my point. WE is so entertaining and interesting. But who wants to watch the dressage part? And makes a whole competition so time consuming. This limits the number of competitors as well.
At this lvl spurs are MANDATORY on competitions. You can't dont put them on. What is more if use them wisely nothin bad is goin to happen, with aids it's like with a knife you can cut a carrot and you can kill someone. So using spurs is not bad if you know how to use them.
Your ignorance is obvious. Spurs are a signal device. They do not hurt a horse in any way. You guide the horse's front end with the reins and if you watch her the amount of "pull" is no more than the change in tightness of her hold on the reins. The back end of the horse is guided with the legs and feet. Spurs are used to make the signals easier for the horse to detect. Speed is controlled mainly by the hips and weight shifts.
Seriously? All that evidence of excellent horsemanship and treatment, and you jump to that? Spurs are no sign of abuse, you're clearly incompetent at best.
