[charmcchar]

[Equestrianjumper567]

I have the breyer model i got it today!!!

[mickisawesome777]

lol i have it too

[charmcchar]

rollkur much? not to mention the side effects of rollkur showing through, but a horribly unbalanced seat by her. That poor horse was never trained to actually USE himself. just prance around with his head yanked back.

[Oliark]

She did the same freestyle in Athens 2004 and in Aachen 2006 WEG

[109367]

Ha, I like that guy's face at the end.

[xlinnn]

[LiveLaughRide07]

Anky van Grunsven ist so erstaunlich!

[jarickni]

pleatec13 & piaffe1 you brainless people seem to really annoy us all. i'd like to see YOU both ride a horse and win what anky's done. U think its easy to ride a horse. U R SOOOO WRONG i ride horses and to make them do what salinero does is unbeleivable, id like u to sit on a 15hh to 17hh horse and make it do what anky has done. u guys suck let alone have no BRAINS! anky is the best god damn rider there is and there is nothing you can do about it at all, so get over your helpless comments. MEH

[calaquende]

What are you saying?? hHAHAHA seriously? That Anky cannot ride?? haha whats wrong with you? seriously thats the funniest I have ever heard. You big fuck!!! the horse is really hot. and its a animal. sorry but Shut the fuck up talking bad about Anky and her work. that is just NOT nessary. She IS the best. And Andreas does NOT spure the shit out of his horses!!! come on, STOP. this video is here to enjoy in to watch a TRUE winner.

[pleatec13]

FINALY a rider that doesnt spure the shit out of there horses like some riders we know *cough* andreas *cough*

[piaffe1]

Jaccko14. I was there and it was beyond belief. It is sooooo obvious that Anky cannot ride, train or handle horses. What in the world was she even doing on a horse after being pregnant. How foolish and stupid. A natural reaction for both horse and rider?!? Where in the world did you get your training and riding lessons with horses? What a joke. In this video Anky actually looks half way decent with her riding. After this though, she goes down hill.

[Jaccko14]

I dont know what youre talking about ??? care to explain?

[knhorsegirl]

piaffe1- ok, let's see YOU ride your horse like that, win two olympic medals, and win a few world cups. I'm just wondering if you even HAVE any videos of you doing that. Oh wait you don't, so SHUT UP about her!!!

[MimiLovesWhizzer]

he's so gorgeous, i have the model. i wish they made a breyer model of her xD

[equinegirl92]

i almost bought keltec's bryer horse today

[Jaccko14]

Really? Whos keltec?

[knhorsegirl]

Amen, resiliance, amen!

[knhorsegirl]

Yeah this horse isn't naturally the confident horse that he looks like, he has to have help from Anky.

[knhorsegirl]

IPS is an organization that Anky is a part of. So is Edward Gal.

[Jaccko14]

Pirouette - its actually not a lie. I have read it in an article. Although people are making such a big deal over nothing! it happened at the WEG 2006. Salinero got spooked, she was 3 months pregnant and she screamed for help. Obviously just a natural reaction for both horse and rider. She ran him into a gate and then someone grabbed his bridle to stop him. But i dont believe she nearly killed people. Lol.. the lies that some people go to..

[Jaccko14]

Yeh i liked keltec too. Keltec is just a sponser name, so when she is sponsered, she uses the name at the start. Her sponder is now IPS and all her horses are called that :)

[Jaccko14]

lol ok.. cos his name is now IPS Salinero

[Jaccko14]

who9 keltec? you mean salinero?

[jarickni]

great coz ANKY rox moi sox

[jarickni]

i L O V E salinero i have the breyer model of him but he looks awesome in the vid i hope that he won! thnx for the vid keep up da good work =)

[knhorsegirl]

jarickni- have you ever heard of one of anky's horses who did NOT win? her horses are unbeatable!

[keltec07]

no prob. i just realized it after watching the movie a dozen times. i do it to with my horse though usually we are cantering in a circle. no dressage. he's old. but i di dwith my hano.

[Jaccko14]

you do realize his name is salinero. not keltec ?

[keltec07]

yes. i do realize that and i don't really care what you think. i like calling him keltec

[Jaccko14]

geez settle down man i was just asking... gee wizz!!

[keltec07]

ya well, let people call him what they wish. i had a horse named artisan katchi. i called him boo, bear, and bug. People yelled at me but you know what? i didn't care.

[Jaccko14]

yeh of course all horses has nick names but keltec is not at all his name.. it was just a sponser name.. thats just like me calling him IPS.. people wouldnt have a clue

[keltec07]

You are right. I will always call him Keltec but his name is Salinero. I am sorry for yelling at you.

[Jaccko14]

its ok :) anway, i love aky and salinero. What do you think about her training methods? i have nothing against them my self

[Jaccko14]

well im going to bed now :) talk to you later

[keltec07]

I love it when she sings along to the music to help Keltec get the beat.

[keltec07]

thank you!

[DressageGirl07]

Ohh i love Anky Van Grunsvan! i love her <33 Shes my inspiration!!

[keltec07]

i cannot wait. to witness such a bond between a horse and rider is to grow wings and fly. I came up with that but it is so tru!!!

[keltec07]

i watch him every day and i hope they will be at the 2010 FEI games in Kentucky. I would love to see him

[keltec07]

I am obsessed with him (is that possible???) in a good way. I love the way anky rides so soundly and smoothly.

[keltec07]

I used to have a hanoverian and he was the sweetest horse. he was only nine when I had to sell him. Keltec's gaits are amazing and Anky just looks imaculate. Keltec really did enjoy the trot didn't he? I have the model as well and I kinda treat him better than my other.

[rage101Z]

she is fantastic! she and her horse are so talented i never seen a better rider.

[saschagroothuis]

This kür is totally perfect! :D And I think nobody could do this better than Anky and Keltec Salinero. When the video is finished, I still hear this awsome music in my head :)

I wish I could ride as well as Anky and that I head a super horse like Salinero!

[misspigloo83]

Tout simplement magnifique

[ooohlala2]

at 4.04 where the singing comes in its acctually her singing along she feels it helps the horse to get into the rhythm more when doing his movements. She also performed this test at the WEG 2006 freestyle final on this horse and won!! :)

[Jaccko14]

ooohlala2 - Yes, Anky has a very good voice :) i must say. And just to let you know she has been using this test for 5 years now at 2 WEGS 1 olympics and many world cups. :) but i think she'll be using her new freestyle at china next year :)

[Minga90ame]

I always get very emotional when she smiles at the end there :) it must be fantastic knowing that you rode a fantastic test and aslo knowing that you put the one in the satrting list behind you in a pretty uncomfortable position!

[Jaccko14]

haha i agree minga90ame - She was smiling all the way up the centre line. she knew she had one. I want to do that one day when i do a really good test, lol imagine how embarrissing it would be if you lost though! :P

[Minga90ame]

yeh ecaxtly, and so emarrasing if you're the only one thinking it was good :) hhaah lol

[Jaccko14]

BAHAHA yep!! :)

[knhorsegirl]

So Everybody Root For Anky Van Grunsven! :)

[Jaccko14]

knhorsegirl - what do you mean?

[scatteam2]

how the hell does she make like the horse hop and everything? thats incredible

[Jaccko14]

she makes him do that with years and years of training :D thats why she is one of the best :D

[knhorsegirl]

Jaccko14, isn't Salinero's piaffe absolutely perfect?

[Jaccko14]

knhorsegirl - sometimes its really good, but i wouldnt call if 'perfect' but its at a goos standard. Why did you ask me that? lol did i say something about it before?

[knhorsegirl]

yeah I can't remember exactly where but you said to someone (not me) that his piaffe was near perfect.

[Jaccko14]

oh ok sorry for my spelling down there - lol i was typing way too fast. Yes his piaffe is good, but if it was perfect you would see him lower his hind quarters alot more. Not many horses can do a perfect piaffe, salinero does better than most horses can :)

[knhorsegirl]

Yeah he does.

[Jaccko14]

yep :)

[lilpinkpunk]

How the hell does she do that?:D

[knhorsegirl]

Actually the "thing on the other end of the horse" only goes around on mares...

[MadamMozart]

i think the horse is just a little off.i think anky had a better show with the black hano in the 2006 freestyle final.....good job anky!!

[Minga90ame]

ït was the same horse.

[MadamMozart]

do they always use 2 reins in this sport? if so, why do they use 2? wouldnt that mean that the horse would have 2 bits in its mouth??(i dont know much about horses, but sometimes, i like to watch shows about them)

[naarsandt]

She is not rough with horses!! Just because the Germans have said that.. When a horse is treated rough he doesn't win Olimpic titles and 88%!

[Minga90ame]

coulden't agree more.

[knhorsegirl]

Ok alainur1, I'm not disagreeing with the actual horse, I'm just disagreeing with the way she trains her horses. She's way too rough with them. But the outcome is absloutely gorgeous!

[IndyBreeze]

Jaccko14 ,Thanks, i just wanted to know if it happened in the video or not... thats all...

[daisyfields]

Don't group all dressage fanatics. Yes, Anky is quite talented, and Salinero is a great horse, but all the people I know would take Andreas and Matine, or Hubertus Schmidt instead. Many people do consider Anky a goddess, but certainly not all.

[saddlesforsale]

Her horses never relax, this is not llight, or elegant. Look at Blue Hors Matinée.... THAT's dressage.

[Jaccko14]

No, this horse is elegant and not heavy, sorry dont agree with you there

[knhorsegirl]

THANK YOU!!! FINALLY someone agrees with me

[IndyBreeze]

i heard no scream... when did he run off

[Jaccko14]

INDYBREEZE - somone told me that in a presentation for some big event he took off and she ran him into a group of people and nearly killed them lol i dont no if its true.

[Jaccko14]

So was it at this event when he took off on her and she screamed?

[Otjefan]

Anky, je bent de beste ! Ik ben trots dat we uit allebei uit Nederland komen!

Anky, you're the best! I'm proud that we both come from Holland!

[Jaccko14]

I am sorry but anky and isabell are simply the best dressage riders in the world. and for ima7trkpny nearly all the judges gave her a 10 for harmony and lightness so i dont no what you are on about!?

[Minga90ame]

I tought that jaccko14 was agaisnt anky? you're not? :)I L.O.V.E anky she will always be the best in everyt category !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

[Jaccko14]

No im definitly not against anky!

[Minga90ame]

Ok :)

[Jaccko14]

yea lol :D

[Jaccko14]

You can not get anymore "real dressage" than this! so shut the fuck up ima1trkpny

[daisyfields]

She may be talking about outside of the show ring, because while Anky rides real dressage in the competitions, she rides rollkur in her training and warm ups, which goes against pretty much everything dressage is. And why are you posting replies to someone who isn't even commenting on this video?

[Jaccko14]

Ohh sorry its all good now i have talked to ima1trkpny and shes really nice but we dont have the same beliefs about anky and salinero. she tells me that the combination are a pollished piece of bullshit.

[Marycha1515]

anky is soo gr8! iknow her really omg i hope that i get this far!;)

[Minga90ame]

Look at ankys face when she ended:) my gondess that face talks for itself. It really shows pure happiness.

[Jaccko14]

Hey guys..ima1trkpny is pissing me off. She tells me that anky and salinero are a polished load of bullshit and its really annoying to see someone talk about anky like that. she says all this stuff about how its isnt "real dressage" and how he isnt light enough and blah blah blah. If she wasnt as good as she is she would be f**king winning would she. some people just f*ck me up so bad when they can critize something that they are clearly not.

[Minga90ame]

she's the best

[Sabley]

did she win?

[BelleGrl101]

of course she won!!!!!!

[manalohan]

They Are Perfect :D

[djdrocco]

What an amazing video! I laughed for an hour, I swear. Thank you so much for this, hahahahahaha!

[Sabley]

why did you laugh?

[Minga90ame]

Anky is the best, I want her Dvd with her music so bad!

[BelleGrl101]

Anky's Music (the dvd that you are talking about is awesome) its just purely amazing!!! hmm..... i do have that dvd but of course i'm probably not allowed to upload the dvd to YouTube........... =(

[sanne88armani]

She is the best !

I want the dvd of her with this music.

[Haileru]

The best kur of the history!! With or without rollkur, musically is really fantastic. Really amazing. I have tis video since the olympic games and I like it yet.

[dressagegal]

folks just have to have something to bitch about...her horse is willingly doing what she asks...way more than I can say for 95% of all riders

[nemolilau]

Merveilleux !

[crazyperson14]

wow...she and her horse are so talented...dont i wish that was me?

[Burblee]

My gosh, that woman is amazing!! Siply the best! Magnificent performance!!!

[GuardianAngelGaby]

And they say the Dutch don't have champions, HA!

[darlingchick]

this horse is so cute, and his movement is very expressive. their music choice was amazing.

[sarahflute]

Have to say, I know nada about horseriding or dressage, but that was still pretty awesome.

[daisyfields]

Here's a good piece of advice then. Stay far, far away from Anky if you ever join the dressage world.

[sarahflute]

Yeah I think I guessed that!! :)

[daisyfields]

What do you mean? You said that was awesome.

[xxfourletterlie]

<i>"What do you mean? You said that was awesome."</i>

lol, I think what she meant was, because you'd get your butt kicked.

[daisyfields]

Wait, that doesn't make any sense.

[xxkali26xx]

hhah i know what u mean,flawless performances,its just too bad she uses rolkur to get results:(

[fallding123]

actually i now use roll kur on my horses and i find that they are actually more supple through there backs and have actually built strong stomach muscles which they never had before! so in piece of mind i think the people who started to say it is cruel to the horses it's not. something to accuse Anky for being the best!!!! jealously or what!!!

[louisbelle]

there are plenty of message boards out there where you can discuss your issue with rolkur, this is not the place. :)

[Marytimes]

One of the best freestyles of all time! I was lucky enough to see her perform it at the WEG this past august! So perfect!

[trallallaaa]

wow!:D
