Nice to see a horse relaxed, not trained under force or with rollkur. You can actually see the horse move it's weight to the back to carry itself for piaffe and passage. Use it's hind legs through the test. Such a rare sight now these days. Amazing, bravo!!
@@lokibae2448 Tail swishing is NEVER the nature of a horse. It is a very clear pain/annoyance sign. Either that or being very bothered by flies, but that generally is not the case in anything other than a walk or maybe piaffe
Love, love, loved… so elegant, so graceful, perfect music to match both lovely ladies in this powerful duo. Truly Breathtaking & Congratulations to you both 💜🫶
@@Lunar-Echo My mistake, sort of, in not communicating I have seen this behavior when horses are concentrating on movement and keeping centered. Your mistake in assuming discomfort. These aren't tortured rodeo horses. Here is a list of common reasons why a horse may swish its tail: to swat at flies or other pests to communicate discomfort or frustration to let someone know they are annoyed as a sign of concentration on a specific task as a sign of contentment to restore balance during a certain activity
@@trex3003 I never said anything about rodeo horses and I never said discomfort was the only reason they flick their tails, they were literally evolved for swatting flies. I was saying it is fairly unlikely that the horse is truly happy, doing all these movements is not what a horse was made for. If it is so happy doing these things then why is a double bridle necessary, if it loves doing these things why would the rider need so much control? I’m not saying the horse is abused or tortured but if you need all that equipment for one horse then you might need to reevaluate your training methods and the system that requires the unnecessary tools.
@@Lunar-Echo give it a rest! I’d say both rider and horse were in sync and beautiful. The horse knows it’s beautiful and happy about that. Does everything have to be negative?
@@lorettanericcio-bohlman567 I’m sorry if I made you uncomfortable but it’s not negative it’s realistic. Real dressage is supposed to be the fundamentals of riding when done properly but now most judges are just looking for the most exaggerated movements and not how fluid, soft, and comfortable both horse and rider is. To be honest I don’t care if I seem negative I just think that someone needs to say what goes on behind the scenes. I ridden and worked with horses for my whole life and have seen the good, bad, and horrid of the industry and it can be absolutely awe inducing when done and executed probably, but sadly most people don’t want to put in the extra work into having a true, two way communication with their horse. They want to take the shortcut of just telling the horse in a one sided conversation and most horses are too good hearted to do anything about it.
YES and also the fact that the hind quarters are so involved too. Way to many horses and riders focus everything on the front but totally forget the hind
'And indeed, a horse who bears [her]self proudly is a thing of such beauty and astonishment that [s]he attracts the eyes of all beholders. No one will tire of looking at [her] as long as [s]he will display [her]self in [her] splendor.' -Xenophon 💖
Such beautiful movement, it's clear both horse and rider have been preparing for this moment and are working so hard. Everything looks practically effortless! Such an AMAZING job!!😍
@@acka. I am not an expert on dressage. But I really enjoyed watching the horse and rider. Dressage is pretty darn amazing, so I am just really appreciative of the hard work of horse and rider to make this happen.
@@bonblue4993 I understand and I can't blame you for liking it, the real problem is that these horses are being ridden in a way that is detrimental to them in the long run
I thought the music was a little too busy at times- kind of distracted from the horse I thought. But that’s just me. She is a mare with some really lovely movement!
Horses can do that without training. Mine is only just backed and can do walk to canter, of course we aren't at the stage of half passes but the start of the half pass is where canter is picked up. They will have practiced this routine many times so the horse knows exactly the cue.
What happened to having good overstep demonstrating true hind end engagement in high level dressage these days? The horses seem to be trained and selected for a flashy movement but in the end the frame seems somewhat false. The bodies seem locked and even at free walk the horses can’t seem to let go and really step forward
When an exceptional horse and her rider are a team, partners in excellence. This horse and her movements take my breath away. So refreshing to see in the world of dressage.
Though I know nothing of dressage really, I can see the beauty of this horses movements. And just the beauty of the horse alone, I live y'all black horses and that tail is just gorgeous.
Beautiful and the best hindleg extensions (even the hooves). Such a difference in the total gracefulness and balance. I would love to watch their training. Congratulations!
Thanks for the video of this great test. But it’s so hard to watch and get the clarity of elements due to operators work - the picture constantly changes, even in the middle of the pirouette, half-passes are hard to understand, because the operator decided the best view is from the side and not from the front. Thanks @fei for the video, would be cool if you could change an approach to picture translation
Took a grand total of 1:26 for an extended trot with zero overstride. Absolutely none. You could drive a bus between the front and back of this horse. 3:20 or so, a lateral walk. This won? This absolute mess won? I used to like watching dressage. It just depresses me now. Tense horses doing tense work.
BTV, no hind action, tilted head, busy mouth, whipping tail, overall tense appearance. What is supposed to be top tier here? I suppose at least the extended trot wasnt a boxer match with the front legs... Can we stop awarding high scores for rides that are walking adverts for rollkur?
The FEI actually removed the whole part about not riding the horse BTV from the rules this year. It's ridiculous and very sad for the horses' wellbeing. I don't get why they are going in that direction. Surely they've seen that audiences want better treatment of horses, not worse?
That's true. Did you hear that the FEI just removed everything about not riding the horse with it's nasal plane behind the vertical from the rules this year? It's been scientifically researched and proven that being ridden behind the vertical causes pain and degeneration of bony and soft tissue. It's been a clear guideline in all dressage to not ride a horse behind the vertical, but now the FEI just thinks it's ok. Bizarre.
@@vibeskouenborg6842 It's really weird, I don't get why they're going im the opposite direction of the rest of the world. People in general are asking for more emphasis on horse welfare, health and comfort. This new rule (or rather the lack of a good old rule) is the exact opposite to it.
I'm going to say "she" because her movements are so delicate. Of, you, the rider, are skilled and very connected to het. You move as one! Beautiful!!❤❤❤
What a relief for Dalera to finally have the reins released after 7 minutes of strenuous movement. I don't understand why dressage riders use such force on the reins. Tension in the horse's body, stiff movement when they can't move their heads and necks normally. & what's with the LF toe drag at the walk?
Am i the only one who thinks that the passage isnt a clean tact? I think the frontlegs dont fit go the hind legs... When u pause, it looks more like Galopp than trott. And Dalera is quite a few times little behind the vertical. I saw already better performances from them.
This is a very good rider because you can see it’s not trained under force or with rollkur. But the rider does mover her chest in and out to much but other than that it’s really good
Много страданий и мучений у лошади бывает, когда она попадает в руки садиста, который рвёт ей рот мундштуком и раздирает шпорами бока. Если с лошадью работает умный, грамотный всадник, не форсируя, лошадь будет охотно выполнять элементы выездки. Постепенность, последовательность, постоянство. Сбережение лошади.
Tail swishing, nose behind the vertical, ears in a possible pain expression, rider's toes often pointing out and down to spur the horse. How is this a show of partnership or harmony?
FEI, you have definitely slid even furthur away from classic dressage. Go back and watch Klimke and Alreichs gold medal freestyle. THAT is dressage. This is a farce. If my heels had ever wound up where hers did, I'd have been whipped.
Es ist einfach wunderbar! Nach einer 6 Monatigen BABYpause zurück im Viereck!! Und dann eine solche Leistung und diese wunderbare Musik!!! Ich liebe beide !!! Diese Dalera ist nicht von dieser Welt, ein so wunderbares Pferd!!👍👍😃😃😃😃❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤👍👍Unglaublich gut!!!! Weiter so Jessy!!!

You obviously have not been around quality riders and horses. To those of us that have it is obvious that this is content and happy horse. It IS grueling, but like any athlete, some are made for the sport and some are not. This pair are having a fantastic time together.
You can actually see how Dalera is trained and treated throughout the social media platforms. I believe you won't find a better home for a horse competing in such high levels. She has green fields, is outside a lot and gets ridden outside the barn. In terms of care, level of treatments, hygiene, quality of food and bedding, training and love it cannot get any better. 👌
The hind legs are out of use, the tail indicate something is wrong. The tilted head in the turnings incate too, that the spine/neck something does not work. And BTV all way round. 10 for a forehanded piaf BTV..... judges wake UP.

The horse was such a joy to watch! Love the happy tail swooshes around minute 4:00. Such a relaxed but focused demeanor. Excellent!!

This is so incredible and beautiful it made me cry! How in the world do you train a horse to do that?!!
love, perserverence, hours and hours of dedicated training, the right nutrition, allowing the horse days away so they don't get stale, more love

Ein traumhaftes Paar, harmonisch, leicht und elegant zu wunderschöner Musik💖
Just such a beautiful ride. Congratulations!
Absolutely graceful and flowing!
They make it look so easy... Beautiful partnership
Please tell me how on earth do you train a horse to dance like that? Is it a special breed? How beautiful and amazing ♥️
Time and patience and lots and lots of work

@@lokibae2448 2:52ff Please take a look again.
Horse is overbent, blocking the rest of it's movement. Very stiff and artificial. Her heel goes up to use her spurs too. Very bad form. Fail.
Your right. Hind end not under. Bless his heart. Not his fault
Exactly! Sick of seeing the neck over bent. This horse is not truly engaged. It’s a shame.
Where are the days when horses moved like horses should. The days when Reiner Klimke and Alerich were the champions? Not the same anymore.
Agree totally
Exactly what I was thinking.
So beautiful, how relaxed Dalera is after the program 😍
Seems more relieved that it is over than relaxed

This is nicely done, but I have yet to see any horse perform to the standard set by Blu Hors Matine several years ago (2006). Amazing! RIP, Matine.
Blu Hors Matine was trained likely under Rollkur, which many consider extreme abuse. This horse was not. This horse is happier.
So Graceful ❤❤❤
