A performance to remember. No twitching tail or harsh leg movements. This is a rider and trainer that shows you what a well trained dressage horse can and should do. We will miss you Pumpkin aka Gio.
What happened
@@blueequine572 Pumpkin was sold to a new family some time ago, so Charlotte and him aren't a pair anymore. But she handpicked the new owners, so he is in a very good home! 😊
Their journey had come to an end and it was time to say goodbye.
I just LOVE Charlotte Dujardin, she is SUPER talented!!!!!
Same! i wish to meet her someday. But that would be hard because i live in the usa
@@emotionalequestrian23 Same! It would be hard for me as well because I live in Canada….
@@schleichhorseloverevren5273 But at the sametime dont want to bother her because so many other people want to go see her
@@emotionalequestrian23 Yes, I do agree, she has lots of fans trying to disturb her
Same. She's amazingly connected with any horse she rides.
I swear I have tried to like other dressage riders, but Charlotte is and will always be my favourite. The fact that she rides to HER standards and not the FEI judges ones is amazing to me. She has so much respect and love for her horses.
Charlotte is the kind of rider who will fly all the way to America to buy a horse that no one else wants, and will make it the best horse in the world. I admire her so much for that, that and the fact that she is one of the only Grand Prix riders to ask for a real collection from her horses. And look at Gio, he really enjoys his work ! Bless them.
Wow you can really see Gio soaking in the limelight. He's a natural star! Loves all the attention! What a great performance, both of them!
An amazing ride, amazing horse, amazing scores. Charlotte is an amazing rider.
OMG! Gio is the cutest thing ever! I swear he knows he did well. And of course that is because of his rider and teacher, CD!
Gio is so adorable and looks genuinely happy and comfortable
I dont think even Valegro loved Grand Prix as much as Gio does. That horse really loves to show off. He is having so much fun. I see zero stress on this "pocket rocket."
Gio is truly smiling after the well done round!
At the end he looks like "oh, hello everyone, thank you, thank you, I did my best"
Have to say Bleu Horse Mare was absolutely devine!
Geo looks like pumpkin
Naaaa
@@CATherine001 Gio is pumpkin. Pumpkin is his nickname
Missing Valegro but Gio is awesome!
Such a Superb Partnership...
To me, Gio looked a bit tense - at least compared to our champion Valegro. I'm looking forward to him getting more relaxed in performance situations!
This guy was dancing. And the music timing. Great job.
Lovely! Brava, Charlotte! Gio at 16 hands is not small, just smaller than most dressage horses. But so well trained and a lovely mover. What a magnificent performance from both horse and rider!
This is what dressage is all about...Happy horse. Happy rider.
This aged well.
wow! that was amazing! amazing horse, amazing rider, amazing pair!!!
I love how they called Gio a little ginger ninja😂❤️
Charlotte Dujardin, Carl Hester, Ingrid Klimke: my dream team!!❤❤
❤ Isabell Werth ❤
Oh my goodness…I love Gio!!! What a beautiful, spicy fellow he is! He looks like he is having a blast the whole test.
What a wonder duo they are, their hard work has paid off beautifully.
Just radical Gio is so amazing he's so very gifted also. 🥰💕💕💗🤗👏🏻👏🏻🥇🏆
Gio is really showing his dance moves, I love it !
What a magnificent horse. Miss Dujardin is a wonderful rider. The best!
Just speechless!!!! WOW!!!!!!!🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
I was sitting at B watching this! It was amazing and I cried. I was lucky enough to spot Charlotte in costa and we got a photo together!!!! Ekkkkk
Gio loved every second of that . I hope he’ll be as happy with his new owner 🙁
She's still training him. She bought another young stallion recently. It makes more sense to sell Gio to let go of those expenses and probably profit from training him rather than keep too many horses.
@@sjgties yes and winning a championship just raises his price tag.
Gio is so good with Charlotte on❤️🤩😍
She is incredible 🤩
Gio is so talented too ❤️
Gio ❤ & Charlotte - I could watch this amazing performance over and over again!
She is my literal idol I aspire to be like her! Amazing performance! Gio is absolutely stunning and so talented!
Gio -Little Star🥰
These pair are just formidable!
I can't believe he's considered *small* at 16hh, a horse his size would be level with the top of my head at the withers! Any horse they would consider to be of normal height would tower over most people!
At that level, yeah, you don't usually see horses smaller than that. I don't know if it's because smaller horses aren't physically capable of doing some of the required movements or the riders just tend to gravitate toward bigger, more imposing horses (maybe a bit of both).
It’s actually quite funny you said this. Gio is considered tiny, since European woman have a average height of more than 165. (Men +10cm) The ideal height (esthethically) of a horse is actually your own height. A lot of horses are German or Dutch bred, where the average height is even more.. so yes, Gio is tiny. Tiny heightwise but also in build.
I totally agree 16 hands is not a small horse!
16hh is small for a warmblood. They're typically 16.2-17.2, and whilst it's only 2 inches, I can assure you it's a big difference between a 15.2 horse and a 16hh horse 😂 Gio is beautiful but too big for my midget legs, and his price tag is more than my entire body or organs is worth 😂
Well Claudia, I have been screwed! I'm 5'1 😂
Thank you ..so ..so ..so much..❤️❤️❤️🇱🇹💪
How do you describe this… Talent meets adorbs!
Dressage is so unappreciated!!! 🤗😃
When it's done right like this yes. I've seen many horses do high level training with ears pinned as they absolutely hate it. People don't listen to their horse like Charlotte does.
Like mine hates jumping so we do low level dressage (intro)
Both horse and rider absolutely brilliant .Bravo to you both .And whats best you're enjoying yourselves .
LOVE IT LOVE IT SOMEDAY ILL RIDE LIKE THIS
I love Charlotte so much
Gio was amazing
Never disappointed with Charlotte!
What a Team !! Congrats !!
Beautiful! You two make it look so easy!
Put a good horse with a good rider and you have a marriage between the 2. Impressive!
This is amazing with the song "Hello World" like Alan Walker & Torine
I love seeing the chestnuts, recently there’s been a lot
Bella!!
Bio is beautiful, and fast and loves his work. Wow
Charlotte and Mr. Pocket Rocket are on fire!
Beautiful!
Wow this is amazing!
We bow to Charlotte and Carl!! (and Gio - AKA: Pumpkin)
She is still one of the best riders in the world. And no one and nothing will take it away from her. What happened was not under the saddle and not with her horse, so stop demonizing, she will be punished for what she did, but it does not change the fact that she is one of the best riders on earth, looking at the rides you can see it with the naked eye
Gruselig
Actually, I think she was under-scored in some movements! I was thinking... is it his size, was it his coloring? Back in my day, if you weren't on a tall "Bay" for Hunter/Jumper classes you could forget about winning, let alone placing.
It can still be like that. I do online and notice some of the bigger horses score better than my Arab with a patch (he's x cob) even though the big hjorseisnt going much better than mine. He's also only 15.2
He has the same nickname as my Icelandic mare: Pumpkin.
He has it all
Light as air
Charlotte is the best.i miss seeing valegro.the k8ng!
Gio is so cute.shorter.smaller but has character too..charlotte is the queen of queens. I still miss seing valegro too!
I don't get how the horse is considered small but he is very good lol
Warmbloods are generally 16.2-17.2hh, so for a warmblood he is small.
Does anyone have any information on dressage? Things that could indicate discomfort, things that indicate calmness, dressage bits, Dressage spurs, Clothes, Etc? I do journaling/studies on different disciplines. (I love to study about the different disciplines and everything and write everything down!)
What is 36 " Joker" means? What element is this?
I was wondering who she was in free rein! She is amazing!!
❤😊
❤😊🎉
Impressive
Yeaaahhh ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Where are the pieces of all her music from??
In the US pocket rocket is something quite different lol…
Fun fact: Gio is actually 16hh and is called Pumpkin as a barn name
I would enjoy these videos more without the commentary and real time scores. I just want to watch the horse go.
Is Gio a Gelding? He’s Fabulous at 10...
Yes he is. A gelding can have just as much muscle as a stallion if you put the correct work into them.
Isn’t he a red dun, not a chestnut? Anyway a pretty stunning performance.
Red duns generally show deeper reds in their points and sometimes have a deep dorsal stripe. This fella from my understanding he is a chestnut whom has just had a full body clip/shave, legs and all. Most chestnuts look like light red duns until their hair grows back . ;)
@@andreabyrne6527 that makes sense.
Warmbloods cannot be dun. They can only be registered if black, bay, chestnut or grey. They're allowed white leg or face markings but no white on the body unless it's a grey (obviously) if they do end up palomino or something other colour, it's a part-bred.
素晴らしい
That is a 10
Sorry, but I just want to watch and enjoy. Wish the commentators would shut up!!!!!
Then put the volume down. The commentators are there for a reason
OMG
I would like to see gio and valegro do a dressage off and they compete who would win??
Probably Valegro. Though he'll be in his later teens now I think
What if the horse gets a tummy ache and poops? Yes, these are the things that keep me up at night.
If a horse has a tummy ache it'll kick at it's stomach, and they can move and poo at the same time.
The fact that prominent characters in the dressage world, including these commentators, believe Gio is diminutive shows just how out of touch they are with the dressage world & horse world.
These beliefs are the false filters that keep a specific group of people & horses at the top. And prevents or delays breakthrough groups in the modern sport of dressage.
Gio is not a small horse. His height is average. Don't believe the hype.
Absolutely. Also, longer limbs mean longer tendons and ligaments, which are proportionally weaker than those on 14hh horses.
For example, gymnasts and figure skaters are small and quick. They are very strong for their size. A basketball player puts a foot wrong and breaks or tears something.
Gio is a KWPN, they're typically over 16.2 with no upper height limit but geldings must be at least 15.2 and stallions 15.3 which in the breeding group would make them small kwpn's. So the fact he's only 16 he is small for his breed. Majority of others of his breed doing high level eventing are 16.2-17.2
Shame he sold her, oh my goodness! He could probably be the next Valegro!
oops I meant shame she sold him!
Horse and rider at one with each other.
I'm sorry .... but I feel awful that Gio has been sold and moved on. He's such a wonderful horse.
He was sold to a girl Charlotte trains who is also an international dressage from the UK. And he is looking fantastic with Annabella, I think it’s great he’s been given to someone talented where they can grow and rise to the top of the game together 😊
I solve watching Charlotte ride quiet hands quiet legs, sigh, back to riding without stirrups
I feel Charlotte has to work constantly with Gio, one slip of concentration and he'll be doing his own thing :D...
When a horse can dance better than you-
😫😦
How his previous US owner must feel? Proud to have had an olympic medal winning horse, but gutted that it was for another nation. But then charlotte is an exceptional horsewoman.
Valegro was the same. They got him 'cheap' because the seller didn't think he had any promise as a dressage horse, then he became world champion several times.
Gio‘s front legs seems so thin/filigrane! 😳
Such a shame she had to sell Gio, hope the rich kid who’s bought him does him justice.
I think she will, Charlotte wouldn't have sold her horse to someone she didn't know inside out. Charlotte's still going to help them train Gio for the time being tii
You all should be created I am
This is the horse trainer who was disqualified from the 2024 Olympics for her abusive training of these dressage, and the jumping horses! And, it was past time for this to happen!!
While I do like Charlotte, and she is one of the best riders out there. I found this ride full of tension and lacking harmony.. The horse is only 10, so perhaps time will fix these issues.
where do you see tension? i'm curious to know what tension signs you read on the horse/rider :)
Particularily in the extended trot and the tempi's. The extended trot looks downhill and rushed. In the tempi's the horse often jumps more together behind, not taking a full stride. The neck is also ridden shorter than I would like to see. The passage and piaffe are better than average, but still weak with rhythm irregularities. This may improve with time and strength.
I get that, and I don't know his previous training history, but it does not change the fact there is significant tension in this performance. The problem now being is politics in the dressage ring. This test should not have scored an 89%, but because of politics Charlotte can get the scores even with these errors. I don't blame Charlotte, but I am disappointed. Yes Gio is only 10, yes much of this can be corrected with strength and time, but when you consider the extended trot is introduced at Level 2, and this is now GP, and correcting tension issues is a foundation of dressage and not something that should be excused away, this was a very disappointing performance.
Part of my disappointment is because it is Charlotte. With Valegro there was a commitment to training excellence. Much superior to what we have seen in many international riders for many years. Valegro was also a very hot explosive horse, so clearly Charlotte knows how to address those issues. But since London and Valegro's retirement, I have not seen the same training quality coming from Charlotte. It likely has a lot to do with the pressure to stay on top, and the judges will reward her for her name now and not the training, although arguably not many judges can see correct training. It is disappointing because I had hoped the commitment to training would supersede the commitment to staying at the top for Charlotte, but it hasn't. She is still one of the best riders out there, but I am personally disappointed in her performances lately. It is what our industry is, but I had hoped Charlotte would buck the trend.
Sure, we are all busy and life happens. It still does nor excuse a poor performance or the fact that she was recieving superior scores on a subpar performance, or the disappointing fact she is falling into the same trap as every other international level rider from the last 30years. Part of what was magical about Charlotte and Valegro is she showed the world what quality training and harmony could look like. It was inspiring, and quality riding. Now she looks like everyone else who has a "name", and the quality is suffering. There was nothing inspiring about this ride.
Ginger Valegro 😅
wenn ein Pferd in der Piaffe mit den Hinterbeinen nicht in der geraden Spur ist... dann ist das Gewicht vorne und nicht hinten, also nicht gesetzt, damit nicht versammelt, auf dem Niveau erst recht nicht tragbar. selbst im Schritt kein Schreiten. das ist peinlich
It’s a shame she sold him. He’s improved so much since the Olympics! Still overeager one the tempi changes but that Piaffe is much better!
Also “not with the biggest of movement”?! That’s bull! He may not be floaty but he has BIG movement.
Wait, did she sell Velegro or Gio?
@@thesaddlelife3568 Gio.
If you watch the free trot in slow motion he really flips his toe. He I S extending but not flashy.
I agree it is a huge disappointment she sold him.Gio has that star quality and was on his way to superstar status.
Load of nonsense, "another ginger Valegro"!? I wasn't super impressed to be honest. The trot extension was terrible it was almost as though he forgot to carry himself entirely which ended up rushed and downhill instead, or running as it's called instead of carrying himself behind. A mistake not often seen at these levels to be honest. Also the piaffe was far too stiff, tense and fraught, tempi changes way to fast and rushed.....the whole lacking suppleness and true extension except in the extended canter a bit which was half way to nice. It is very awkward and sad when a horse is sold to the highest bidder as I feel this horse has been. he still had a long way to go for this rider and didn't deserve to be flogged in this unsanctimonious manner after having given so much of his life up to his owner. No doubt this performance will probably be the highlight of his career which is a great pity. It usually is for horses sold in this grotesque manner. We don't sell our beloved dogs like this why on gawds name horses. Unconscionable behaviour. Horses are not inanimate objects. We need to heed this as dressage and other equestrian sports are rapidly becoming in peril of becoming completely blacklisted for being abusive in the minds of the general public.
He's off to another loving home, a young woman coming up in dressage world who is a friend of Charlotte's. Charlotte is the best dressage rider in the world and we can't expect her to keep all the horses that come her way. yes, the dressage world can be grotesque but Charlotte isn't. Charlotte will be training them also.
Before you bash on them again, please keep in mind that Gio has not been doing this level of dressage for that long. He's not going to be perfect and he's certainly no Valegro. However Valegro came from YEARS of practice. Gio has only been with Charlotte for a year or two so of course his movements aren't going to look the best all the time
@@Grushenke89 We've all heard the excuses before. "All the horses that come her way"? This little horse she went truly well out of her way to bring home, it wasn't dropped on her doorstep, BTW no horse ever is. I feel dealing in the very animals that bring you success is disgusting behaviour. How hard they tried to sell Valegro too. It's utterly unconcionable behaviour. These are living breathing sentient creatures beyond monetary value. This is a big problem in Equestrian sport today.
@@abri5466 Are you out of your mind? How long is a year or two exactly?!
@@equestanton1017 uh, a year or two. If you'll read my comment again, a horse of valegros comment comes from years and years of work. Charlotte has sold Gio anyway, so I'm not entirely sure why you're hating on them. Yes, he's a little stiff and awkward in some of the movements, but as stated, it takes YEARS of practice.
Why is the horse chewing and foaming at the mouth?
He is salivating around the bit (Horses will do it in and out of bit though because it's not due to the bit by itself). It's generally a good sign as a horse who is stiff and ready to bolt (Stressed) won't salivate the same way a more relaxed focused horse would. Like dry mouth from fear in people is very similar to horses. It also points towards acceptance and contact with the bit not fighting it or working themselves up out of fear or pain.
@@andreabyrne6527 I thought maybe it was because his head is pulled down so far. That doesn't look very comfortable.
@@sanmat1099 The salivating alone, is a good sign. The horse isn't frightened or tense with stress. He could still feel frustrated or slightly uncomfy/sore is a separate concern (Sometimes chewing or grinding teeth can manifest pain or anxiety too) but he wouldn't be frothing from exercise if he was having a really bad time of it. Horses can foam at the mouth in and out of arena/paddock work. ;)
His ears are also twitching showing he's listening for the next command. He is enjoying himself.
All these videos should be deleted
Constantly behind the vertical, neck never the highest point, and this horse is great but not ready to go this level.
Its typical Modern Dressage, that has nothing to do with Classical Dressage.
I can't understand why everyone is freaking out this riding style.
Disgusting, making a horse hold his head in this unnaturally over bent way for some false sense of beauty.
Actually, when they're in that position it's most comfortable. You'll see or notice a horse will go into a contact by himself after hard work and a form of relaxation lol
Horses will carry their heads this way when they are carrying themselves and their riders correctly and working properly through their back.
Huh, I myself am quite naive about horses, but I have seen Valegro lift his head and puff up his chest on his own, without prompting from Charlotte, the moment the music started. I have also seen other horses doing that to show off. Maybe holding for that amount of time to dance requires much training, but it is certainly something horses do on their own.
Actually I know quite a bit about horses as I was a veterinary technician for 26 years, 11 of which I worked at a veterinary college in the large animal department. In order to tube a horse that is colicking, I would bend its head in that same position because it opens up the esophageal opening while closing off the trachea thus helping the tube pass into the stomach and not the lungs. @•Edith_Overhunter•
Well, all that fake 'goodness' went sour fast!!!! Pretending being such a good equestrian and at this time the abuse video was made....
Does anyone have any information on dressage? Things that could indicate discomfort, things that indicate calmness, dressage bits, Dressage spurs, Clothes, Etc? I do journaling/studies on different disciplines. (I love to study about the different disciplines and everything and write everything down!)
One thing that I can say is that if you see them foaming at the mouth it’s a sight of being relaxed
