Ich habe einen Sohn von Matador :) , leider nicht gekört, da vergessen, aber ein Hengst, der Charakterlich nicht zu schlagen ist. Tolles Pferd mit tollen Nachfahren!!!
Kyra ,one of my favourite people in dressage,I remember this so well,they were such a wonderful combination. Looking forward to seeing Kyra at Hickstead next week .
The "bump" under Matador's belly is the scar tissue from colic surgery. I'm not sure how long before the Final he had the surgery but it certainly made his preparation more delicate.
Like said, this is nearly perfect. Can anyone name another rider to have succesfully competed at international GP level besides Kyra? I mean, she is amazing. Not just with Matador, but with many other horses as well. Go Kyra!
A sophisticated kür. nearly perfect! kyra is the best! But I think there's a bump at the horses waist? looks a bit curious.. though a nice horse and a nice rider!
Kyra is awesome :) And Matador is something really special! Or have you seen a horse do piaffe-canter pirouette-walk-combinations before? Even Anky can't do piaffes look that easy and make them stay that still! Kyra- you are the best! Kyra- sinä olet paras!
I have never seen such a weird choreographed kür before. Especially those transitions from piaffe to a pirouette in canter and back to walk really surprised me.

thanks for posting this. I used to have the 91 world cup final on videotape. I watched this test sooooo many times.

That pirouette, from passage to canter to walk, was AMAZING! You'd NEVER see that these days! :D

makes the scoring of now, 20 years later, seem surrealistic. THIS is the standard to which to aspire!

A real delight to watch. That's how sport horses should be ridden, with lightness.

They really deserved such a nice score.
