I'm not a huge fan of saddle seat. The seat too often creates horses high in front with trailing hind legs. Take a look at where the center of balance is on these riders.
The unfortunate thing is that many top dressage horses are "leg movers" like these National Show Horses. Instead of rounding and engaging, their backs are dropped, their hind legs trailing. And people applaud the goose-stepping dressage horses the same way this crowd applauded these saddle seat horses.
Who said they were miserable obviously you dont know how much these horses LOVE their jobs and how much us riders enjoy it so dont even try to argue or complain that just makes you look stupid!!
I love Vanessa but the quality of this video is so disappointing
