Thank you for the greater insight, just a peek, but very enjoyable. I really enjoy listening to Lottie. Her whole being is infused with the love of her horses, and it seems the same for them. This, for me, comes a long way against the usual cut and paste whiners who are always first to any dressage video. I loved this. Keep it coming!
I worked in one stable in Germany and yes, horses went out for 1 hour on pasture, then back in the stable. In the afternoon, they were ridden/lunged for half an hour or sometimes 1 hour. Otherwise, they were in the stable all day, all night. It wouldn't surprise me if these horses are spending all day in the stable as well...
Please give them all some apple. Do they get turned out ,? They need to run and relax in a field, they are horses, and hard animals. Please let them out. X
She does NOT know how to feed a stallion!! Your encouraging Bad behaviors keeping the apple and letting him bite your palm...called Teasing, Dont Tease a stallion! Poor boy.
Honestly, this was driving me crazy to watch the non-stop treats. Then others were banging on their stalls for treats. Otherwise enjoyable but that was really distracting.
Sure, why not tell her how to train a horse. I don't know your credentials. I know hers. She's the best rider in the world, and the horse is the best trained horse in the world.
@tomsoderberg9441 while I understand what you're saying. It doesn't take a gold medal to know that giving horses nonstop treats creates pushy demanding horses on the ground, not necessarily under saddle. I've had horses and worked with them for 35 years. You can see it in the video; the horses are banging at their stalls and nippy, it's rude and undesirable behavior, but some ppl don't mind it. It would drive me crazy to walk past their stalls and have them freaking out for a treat every time kicking their stalls. Many of the stallions they have at Van Holst are large Dutch Warmblood stallions with pedigrees known for being very hot and sensitive. More power to them for training these reactive horses. However, I wouldn't be giving this type of temperament nonstop treats. Personal preference, as I feel it makes them much more pushy on the ground and in hand. Also, just because she has a lot of high achievements doesn't make her the BEST rider in the world. There's a lot of criticism of their riding and the behind the vertical hollow frame they ride in. She does ride beautifully, and I know these horses are a tough bloodline to work with, but many ppl argue their training is not correct dressage. Certainly light years away from my skills as a dressage rider, but I do have a lot of experience with horses and their behavior.
these horses bring their owners money and achievements and they do not get even a moment of freedom in the pastures from these people, this is very sad to watch
This was great. What a fun way to learn more about Glamourdale and Everdale, as well as to hear from Fry herself. What fun. Thank you!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thank you for posting this wonderful interview! Lottie and the horses she rides are so talented! ❤
Watching you and glammy in the arena if our of this world. Super chemistry. And what a fancy piece of horseflesh.
Do these horses have turnout in the field?

I think all the horses would’ve liked an apple. They’re just like kids . Feed one feed all.
Not to worry, they were all given plenty of apples before we started filming ☺️ All ponies deserves their snacks! 🍎
