He's a really beautiful mover! His piaffe is immaculate and his passage is perfectly timed and the elevation is just right! Altogether a fantastic horse! Him and Anky work so well together!! I love Hanoverians! I just hope I can train mine up to a good standard! :S

[EvaMilano112]

His flying changes are immaculate! Very similar to Salinero! Anky has such a beautiful bond with her horses!

[VanessaDasFreak]

Man achte nur auf Pferd & Musik. Passend. :D

[xemily09x]

I never knew this horse had such a nice piaffe! Especially the first one, the second one was iffy

[TheWolfGirl09]

People say she uses rollkur. That does not look like rollkur all

[qtrhorse89]

Overall excellent ride. I see some issues here and there. The horse does seem to be a bit too tight at the mouth but better too tight than too loose and having the bit banging all over the place. I also agree with whoever noted that he doesn't quite move completely from the hind. No matter how well she rides and performs though I still don't agree with her training methods. Too many health risks for me thank you very much.

[casiolove1]

she is the best amazone in the world i love her its beatifull (but also because i am dutch and she too)

[carlacswanson]

What a difference a rider can make.

[HorseGeek99]

Beautiful rider, and I am not here to critique her or her riding style because it is not right to critique her until I am able to sit on that horse and do a better job, but, notice a lot of the time his jaw is tense. To much contact. If his mouth is braced, chances are the rest of his body is going to be tense and not move thoroughly. He is a beautiful mover, but is he really loose in his back, it seems to me that he might be moving with his front end and his back end is just there.

[Atzinen]

trés bien!

[gulliversslave]

She did this as a pas de deux or however you say it, and she was on a fresian and the other rider was on an adalusian or maybe the opposite, it's really awesome but it's not on youtube :(

[Pargoneful]

Anky, super lightness !

[augcrusty]

Vive Equita Lyon ! Vive l'equitation francaise !

[bizzybijtje]

Piaffe valt me vies tegen... Verliest ontzettend veel activiteit en takt.

[Dressageriderrobin]

what is the music exactly?

[loutheil]

la carmen de bizet

[gulliversslave]

loutheil said it was La Carmen de Bizet but this is incorrect. This is Partrout's Tango composed/arranged by Anky van Grunsven's personal musical freestyle music composers.

[gulliversslave]

@Dressageriderrobin Cees Slings and Victor Kirkoff or something like that arranged it specifically to his footfalls. So basically, it's the Anky Tango Kur.

[Polpolker]

i love dressage, when done correctly. I like the way anky rides but i truely hate what she (and all dressage riders) do to the horses mouth... horse is PERFECTLY on the beat for much of the song, good ride

[zhivana]

there's nothing wrong with the horses mouth :) he's foaming from working on the bit correctly. I ride in a rubber mullen-mouth snaffle, the softest bit you can get, and he still foams. it just means he is 'listening' and allowing contact through the reins. its a good thing! :P

[blondevilangel]

Yep yep! Theres more leg pressure used than anything...if it's more bit pressure then their doing it wrong...Dressage is the reason I have good leg muscles haha

[HCAliciaNL14]

heel mooi =D altijd mooi bijpassende muziek erbij. Anky traint die paarden echt heel goed! Mooi verend en mooie gangen

[DPfanaticC1]

absolutely amazing...

[praline1991]

est-ce que tu sais quel est le titre de cette chanson ? merci d'avance

[charline96]

♥

[rockXandXmetal]

[andalusierzucht]

gänsehautfeeling bei der trabverstärkung =)

[charline96]

Wonderful wonderful wonderful

i don´t have words

for so a wonderful Dream *.*

[charline96]

Wonderful .

It´s like a dream <:

[Kikiiiiiii76]

Ca parait si simple lorsqu'il s'agit d'Anky!

Plongée dans la vidéo, j'ai du mal à décrocher...

so good!

[rosevillmb]

Beautiful horse is Painted Black.

Anky is a great rider,and very good for her horses.

[Shiznit0510]

sorry but i have to disagree :( she is a great rider but she is not a kind person with horses

[quitschgelb]

soooo funny... people wanting to clap... but being interrupted by an annoyed SHHHHHH ^^ lmao

[OTTTB]

nice.

[BridlePathProduction]

What exactlly was it saying in German in the beggining?

[quitschgelb]

Its not german... its spanish... =)

[Cristinabel7]

Love the horse, although I agree that he seems tense, and is probably a bit green when it comes to GP. He's no Salinero, that's for sure, but he is still a stunner. Not as good in the collected work, but he did come in second in the World Cup, so that has to mean something!

[dressagebea]

gorgeous ride! if they can get the piaffe, and stay on, they have a really great shot in Vegas!!

[DENMelanie]

Love the horse!

[bcbeaupied]

I cant wait to watch her ride him tomarrow night!!

[DressageDoll1]

Fabulous.

[armageddonff]

she has the most beautiful position I have every seen.

[uiltjee]

To teach a horse to do this all is not easy, the horse has to carey his whole body en almost has to sit down to do this, and the most horses walk at the front that's less heavy for them en not from the back so it looks very easy but it's not! it costs alot of training

(my english is not so good i'm dutch wahaha i hope you understand it a little:P)

[fallding123]

It's called Connection with her hands!

[fallding123]

It's called Connection! Hands, Legs and bum!!

[tris881234]

if you dnt like dressage dont watch it anybody can get a horse to fly round a barrel theres loads of different movments you have to teach these horses to get to this level.

painted black is going really nice my friend has a foals off him

[Stormhorse23]

I see nothing beautiful about this. It is fairly easy to teach a horse to do many so-called dressage movements.

Dressage means training. No matter if your goal is to run some barrels (like mine) or compete in dressage, there is no excuse for rock solid hands and a horse's head held in such a way. I don't care what she has accomplished in terms of ribbons because it is clear she has accomplished nothing in terms of what the horse feels.

[bcbeaupied]

I understand that you dont like Anky because of her training methods, so it's totally fine for every one to have their opinion about that, but it's unfair to say that its easy to teach a horse high level dressage. Because its not. Just like its not easy to teach a horse to correctly jump, to do reining or barrel racing.

[Minga90ame]

its very rude to say that to teach a horse dressage movements s a easy job because its not, have you one it yourself?

[tydownkiwi]

You said it all at Barrel racer. You dont know training and if you did you'd know this is not easy. If you had ridden or trained english you'd understand about having the horse collected and working rather than just running flat out. I dont fault you mind, having moved to north america and taken up calf roping as a new challange after 20 years english riding and meeting the other rodeo girls who ride only barrels. Give it a go.

[fallding123]

Actually Anky rides her horses very well!! I remember watching her give a Clinic with Spencer Wilton on Dolendo (my trainer) and changed the tensioner (curb chain) by 3 links slack. She said "This is how loose i have my curb chain on my horses, there is no need to have it so tight!" Anky is very quick with her hands and her reaction with her hands are brilliant for connection to the horses mouth!!

[aryante1]

After watching your video of you doing poles & barrels, I would remind you that people living in glass houses shouldn't throw stones... If you watch Anky's hands closely her hands are not rock solid, they are actually acting independently from her body, moving with the horses gaits instead of her body, this gives the illusion of "rock solid hands" which are way kinder than the jerk and release method you have.

[MavJem]

lol fairly easy? Do you want to have a go on my 4yo?

[HorseCrazyLiza]

The passage at the end is incredible.

[horses4evr29]

anky is an amazing rider! keep ur rude comment to ur self!

[FindyLee]

its because his not that strong yet so he can carry himself in a collected program like that. He will learn!

[FindyLee]

and if you do a little bit more research you'll find out that she's outstanding and her riding techniqe is so much more than just the flexing of the neck! Please be more well-read before criticizing!

[TheHoofSmith]

I remember watching Anky at the Sydney Olympics Dressage, it was an awful ride she was probably twice as bad as her score would have lead you to believe.

As for learning to ride properly and let the horse lead with its nose, most people do not realise that the bit should never be behind the ears and that the jaw should be open and relaxed. It is in the FEI rules it is just that judges don't enforce the rules.

[Minga90ame]

well that was a world record ride (if youre talking about the freestyle)so I dont REALLY think it was as bad as you try to make it soud like.

[Jaccko14]

thehoofsmith - Her sydney olympic ride was absolutly amazing, one the best dressage tests ever ridden. You must have rocks in your heads if you think it was aweful, id like to see your version of a 'Good dressage test" with you riding the horse! lol. what a joke

[BridlePathProduction]

is this her new horse?

[freelock1]

lovely test! Lovely horse! Rider gets the job done for the judges.

[duckhollowfarm]

Splendid horse! But I hope everyone reads _Tug of War: Classical Versus "Modern" Dressage_ by German rider/vet Gerd Heuschmann, watches the extended trot portion of this video again, and then answers this question: Is this horse a "leg mover" or a "back mover"? That is, is this horse working from his hind end with a relaxed back or is he flicking his toes? Hint: You might want to look at the photos on pages 81 and 82.

[derbyhillfarm]

Fabulous!!!!! Purely enjoyable and thoroughly impressive.

[pureclass01]

I would like to see you try to ride that horse and ride half halts with a loop in your reins, her hands are not heavy, please refrain from commenting if you do not have anything good to say. People WILL be impressed by this clip because the impulsion throughout her movements the impeccable rhythm and balance and the music is perfectly on time throughout the test.

[MavJem]

here here! Well said!

[sylvesmiller]

What a gorgeous pair, but I'm too disenchanted that she uses rolkur...

[LulitaInPita]

cool! I love Anky & her horses :]
