So, that last post left an icky taste in my mouth. In an attempt to alleviate it, I'm posting a video of my favorite dressage rider, Steffen Peters. He trains beautifully and compassionately - and this horse, Ravel, is amazing. Watch the freedom in the hindquarters - watch the height and reach of his neck (no rollkur here!). Steffen rides his two tempis (lead change every two strides) on a bending line (which is hard) WITH ONE HAND ON THE REINS (which is ridiculously hard). So beautiful....and this is the competition I mentioned in class where Anky wins and no one applauded. *tee hee*
Watch and enjoy!
