  • I think it is far to say that the people that don't understand what she is doing are not to a high level of any type of competition riding. Therefore, for what they do not understand they love to voice their ignorant opinion.....

  • RIP Bonfire :(

  • @darknightfall Amen, rip bonfire, noble mount and friend of anky

  • @darknightfall uhm, bonfire isn't dead???

  • my favourite !

  • Anky didn't train bonfire LDR :)

  • @456duifje Actually, she did. She bought him as a gelding for 20.000 gulden from a breeder when he didn't make it as a stud. He was 2 and a half when she bought him and brought him to her home in Erp. :) There she discovered his talent for the higher dressage and trained him TOGETHER with Sjef Janssen.

  • He moves with so much energy and spring(: its makes it fun to watch. at the piaffe he doesn't just pick up and put down his feet like some horses do. he actually puts energy and bounce in to it

  • He moves with so much energy and spring(: its makes it fun to watch. at the piaffe he doesn't just pick up and put down his feet like some horses do. he actually puts enegy and bounce in to it

  • I love Anky and her riding. She is my idol. One day I hope I will ride with her and show her how well im doing in my dressage.

  • leuk gedaan zeg!

    

  • She rides with a vice like grip/contact on the curb - this is not beneficial for the horse and creates conflict behaviours as a result. She rides without any empathy or natural feeling. Dressage should be about creating submission in the horse from the lightest of aids to encourage self carriage. I think the horse would fall on it's nose and sigh in relief if she let go! She uses horse as objects for her own needs and desires.

  • @jjclimb69 Amen to that. Three cheers for iron hand Anky. Maybe someone should take the damn reins away and ask her to perform like this. Put the horse in a simple snaffle and ask her to do this, she wouldn't be able to because she hasn't created submission. It's a shame that the dressage world allows this.

  • @MagnoliaDreaming You don't ride dressage I take it? Lower levels are done in a simple snaffle. Pelham bits are not allowed. Watch her horse... he is reaching for contact with the bit. I can only dream of being so good. A good video for you to watch is Cowboy Dressage... amazing. If only all western riders had so much talent.

  • @Kgardin674 My point was that she relies too heavily on the bit. A good dressage horse and rider should be able to perform at this level with no tack as well as with a simple snaffle if the horse is trained correctly. A full bridle is not necessary to train your horse to do this, its only necessary to compete on your horse at this level. Anky relies on the curb entirely too much, did you bother to read jjclimb's comment? Cowboy dressage is amazing, but your comment on western riders applies...

  • @MagnoliaDreaming I find it amazing that some one who at first appearances seemsto to know something about dressage, has failed to take note of the ïce-cream"in the horses mouth.

    A sure sign that the hands are not hard and that the horse is totally accepting of the bit.

    Where there any other signs of resistance; I think not.

    I was there and I consider myself priveledged to have seen such a performance.

  • @1946foxcroft If you judge her ability simply by the amount of salivation that the horse is producing then you are blind and ignorant to the other signs in the video that show how heavily she relies on the curb to keep her horse's head down. Every video I've seen of her she has a vice grip on the curb; even if the horse is accepting all of this bit action that doesn't mean it's right. I'd much rather see this done without her constant curb pressure holding the horse down...

  • @MagnoliaDreaming I totally agree, When I was a kid I loved her, but then when I got older and learned more and more about horses and riding, I realised she wasn't all that great. Sure, the performance is simply stunning, but the way she treats her horses isn't at all that great...

  • i agree on being though on the mouth, however i think she knows better what she is doing than i do :$ anyway still alot you/i can learn from those vids :P

  • My sister was a upper-level gymnast and she had a version of this song as her floor routine music :)

  • Love this song!! <3

  • Anky van Grunsven.. dan denk je toch aan Brabant?

  • Continued... On the other hand, you've done a nice job with the transitions (except for the walk to canter transition), just look for some more varying and emotional music though and you've got some good potential!

  • Comment removed

  • this horse is a front end mover, not a back mover...

  • Man achte auf die relaxte Haltung des Pferdes. Das hat rein garnichts mit Rollkur zu tun, wie du, sselkub, es so schön nennst. -.- Dieses Pferd steht perfeckt auf der Senkrechten. Wie es sein soll. Die Ohren relaxt, was man in der Dressur heutzutage eher selten sieht. Weder verklemmt noch angespannt. Harmonie. Solche Leute die keine Ahnung haben sollten einfach den Mund halten!

  • erstmal an Artanis hey du hast die musik ja super zusammen geschnitten :) wunderba<re arbeit !!!!!!

    hmmm wenn ich das so sehe stelle ich fest das ich finde das Bonfire Anky besser steht als Saloinero vom Typ her und ich finde es sieht harmonischer aus...weil hmmmm zwischendurch sieht man bei salinero auch das viel kraft in spiel ist.....

    fand generell die dressurpferde typen von der zeit irgendwie hübscher....^^

  • Comment removed

  • die muziek is irie!!

    maar het beeld is beter dan anders (bij bonfire hè)

  • I love Bonfire. Anky, not so much.

  • poor horse :(

  • @6horselover6 If he was a poor horse he had not won the olympics. Get over it dude, this is a fantastic piece of riding and i wish every rider would have a bond with their horse like this!

  • boy you do really good matching up the songs just about right!!!

  • Look, guys, if you don't like what you're seeing then don't watch. Who really cares. It's not as if you're going to change her mind.

  • Ditto with Equimovemaster! Anyone who criticizes Anky should be aware of her history with Bonfire. Bonfire was originally a very tense, frightened difficult horse. Anky worked patiently with him to become one of the most famous and popular teams in teams in the world. A lot of horses who need LDR, or to be ridden deep, are those w/ tension and fear. If they stay extra round, they slowly relax.

  • i love this video (:

  • @miauuuuwW

    Ze heeft dat paard zo in de krul gereden dat hij nu bijna alleen maar zo blijft lopen!!

    En dat is niet goed voor een paard en zijn wel zijn.

  • Oh yea, and nothing can be beautiful, relaxed, and obedient and be suffering.

  • Lovely video. She is one of the greatest. So far, I have seen people say that Western Pleasure, Hunt Seat, Dressage, Reining, Gaited, Penning and other Rodeo Sports, Cart Work, Racing, and Jumping were all cruel! In my mind, each has its proper place, and the only real cruel thing is those drunk idiots who run their horses to death every Sat. bouncing on their backs and getting in their mouths. But the real idiots are the ones who put comments degrading others and their work on a public site.

  • Als je ziet hoe zei naar de GP is gekomen.

    Dan zal ze jullie idool niet meer zijn ;)

  • @ superuiltje ja haar 1e plak.

    zoo mooi (L)

  • won zij hier gold?

  • Sorry?!

    Are you blind or don't you see that the horse suffers?!

    Search for rollkur-anky-van-grunsven and than you see! I hate people who tears their animal!!! There is no harmoy! Maybe YOU treas your horse too!

    That's the reason why this sport lose more and more his originally status!

  • @Cartinka1704

    I know how Anky rides xD that´s not every time she rides .. I mean she also rides reining ?

  • @Cartinka1704 you obviously know nothing about horses. these animals used to live in herds in the wild, where a leading mare guided the whole herd. theoretically, one has to take the role of the leading mare, and gain the horse's trust. once that is acheived, the horse actually enjoys being ridden and specially this well. it's true that many schools of riding have cruel methods, but dressage is the art of total beauty and enjoyment of both horse and rider.

  • @joaquinvallejo You think so? So it's okay dominate the horse because the horse likes it? In which world do you live?! I know, that there must be a leader, but tormentor! Do you want to suffer? I don't think so. So the next time YOU want to be the "leader" try it with more knowledge

  • @Cartinka1704 No, I don't think so... I know so. I am a REAL horse lover that has been AROUND HORSES for my entire life, evidently YOU ARE NOT, because you would't have that opinion. Believe me, I am the first one to defend mistreated or abused horses, and I have always opposed cruel practices (which by the way are FORBIDDEN by the FEI). Please, If you know nothing about the subject, you should't criticize people who are passionate for horses, love them, and ride them for a living.

  • @joaquinvallejo the "wundeful" FEI tries to alow Doping! So it's okay?! I also has been around horses and can't see horse suffer! You are one of the persons who think they know eveything and protect people who rides their horses with hyperflexion because in a short time it's the best way to humble the hose. Well you a real horse lover *ironc*

  • dat is de muziek van feet of flames van tap danser michael flatley zoek maar eens op op lime ware

  • welke muziek is dit of kan iemand het opsturen? gr harm

  • Das arme Tier geht mit dem Kopf häufig schon hinter der Senkrechten. Nachdem ich gesehen habe, wie diese Frau mit ihrem Pferd umgeht, will ich die nicht mehr sehen und bin sehr für eine wesentlich längere Sperre, als sie bis jetzt vorgeschlagen wurde!!!

  • Cartinka was ein quatsch, du weisst nicht woruber du redest,. Du bist awn erstaunt das so eine schone kur aus Holland kommt

  • ich glaube du hast keine Ahnung! Is ja alles schön gut, wenn das ACH so harmonisch aussieht deine Meinung nach, aber wer sein Pferd auf dem Abreiteplatz mit Rollkur reiten und ihm dadurch unzumutbare Schmerzen zufügt ist für mich keine toller Reiter. Egal wer Pferde quält hat kein Recht auf Tunieren zu reiten. Deine Antwort zeugt von riesem großem Unverständnis und einer Verblendung!!!

  • @Cartinka1704

    Nur weil sie ihr Pferd beim Training ab und an über die Schräge reitet ist das noch keine Rollkur -.-

  • @TheSteessie gib mal Anky van grunsven Rollkur bei google oder youtube ein. dann weißt du wovon wir reden (:

  • Wauw, very nice this kur!

  • der Ritt gefällt mir gar nicht....Total unter Spannung und Kandarre Waagerecht (?)Wo ist die HH?Habe schönere Ritte gesehen :-((,Musik und Pferd sind prima (reite dein Pferd fein wie eine Geige ,dann wird deine Reitkunst zu stummer Musik)Alois Pollak

  • wow, kan iemand deze muziek sturen? :D

    xx

  • ik heb de muziek wel (:

  • i love bonfire, but i love salenero more! lol

  • Its good haha :)

    But no gallop in dressage tests... Extended canter...yes

    gallop ... No!

  • Nederland is goeeed <333333

  • bei der frau bekomm ich immer SOOOO nen Hals !

  • oww I love this kur :)

  • Ich hasse diese Frau!!

  • ROLLKUR need I say more?

  • @Safwentay

    goosh there´s nowhere rollkur -.-'

    if u don't know what real dressage means, u shouldn't say something like that xDD

    Anky is one of thebest riders... no rollkur just real harmony

  • @Aylolu

    Sorry?! Are you blind or don't you see that the horse suffers?

    Search for rollkur-anky-van-grunsven and than you see that there is no harmony! Maybe tease your horse too!!!!

  • love anky an bonfire!!!!

    xx

  • voll cooles video , und lord of the dance ist n richtig cooles lied :)

  • Oh, lovely! Anky, Bonfire, Irish music! Is there anything more beautiful?

  • i like keltic salinero more, but Bonfire is pretty good :)

  • Bonfire blijft goed!

    Wat een suffe discussies op pagina 2, 3.

    Wie beter kan rijden? Kom op man je bent nooit uitgeleerd!

    Ik rij al 2 -3 jaar niet en mis het enrom maar ik reed geen wedstrijden ik reed voor de lol het was een hobby!

    En kende genoeg genoeg mensen die net zo denken als op pagina 2 en 3.

    En ik kan er alleen maar om lachen hoe zielig mensen zijn!

  • Niet voor niets is er pas meer dan 200.000 keer gekeken !!

     !!! Und für die deutsche neidische Zuschauer, bitte etwas mehr Respekt , bitte danke !!

  • geweldig leuk!

  • That was good! Nice editing!

  • Dressuur is idd moeilijk toen ik 12 was duurde het bij mij anderhalve maand voordat ik het wijken echt goed goed onde knie had! Ik zie Anky van Grunven elk jaar op CHIO @ ROTTERDAM! Echt onwijs geweldig.

  • Het wijken had ik geen probleem mee.. Meer de galopwisselingen nu..

    Die zijn vervelend..

  • Ja maar dat is alweer 5jaar bijna 6jaar geleden toen ik het leerde, nu ben ik ook al wat veder en idd galopwisselingen zijn moeilijk, piaf heb ik beetje moeite mee haha

  • 'met paarden ben je nooit uitgeleerd' en dat betreft ook Anky.. anky kan ook nog heel veel dingen leren. Ik rijd zelf ook Dressuur dat doe ik nu 10 jaar maar dat betekent niet dat je gelijk al 30 paarden naar de Z kunt rijden..

    Comaan zeg voordat je dat leerd.. leer je niet ff in 1 dagje...

  • Nice editing

  • My two favorite things combined! Dressage and Irish dance music!

  • uhhm ik ben 21

    doe wijs joh allemachtig hej .

    hoe oud ben je ..

  • wow that was so amazing, i wish i could do dressage it looks so fun

  • get you useless head strapped to your chest. then continue celebrating rollkur exhibitions.

  • Where did you get the dressage test? I have been looking for ages to try and find a dressage test to put music to like you did. If you don't wan't to tell everyone you can message me:) Thanks for such a wonderful movie!! It put my favorite Irish dance group together with my love of horses!! Keep up the good work!!

  • Ich stimme nero2608 zu.

    Es wundert mich nur, dass sie es auf Turnieren schafft, den Kopf ihrer Pferde oben zu halten.

    Ihre "Trainingsmethoden" sind jedenfalls das Allerletzte !!

  • bonfire is zo goed :D

  • Anky is einfcach ne verdammte Tierquälerin... Die soll verrecken... Die kann ruhig mal abgworfen werden und sich das enick brechen...

    Die is einfach ne hässliche assoziale Rollkurzschlampe die meiner meinung nach ruhig verrecken kann... die hats verdient!

  • This is a real team, anky and bonfire :) Bonfire is a very georgous horse!!

  • Jammer genoeg is hij al met pensioen

  • Comment removed

  • this music is of Celtic Dreams,

    i'd like it (L)

  • that is what i call unnatural movements oO this looks like a marrionett. looks horrible. And with this kind of dressage you can win nowadays a competition. thats so poor...

  • Dasz iisT ecHT GeiiL GemachT..

  • Toppertje!<3

  • Eigenlijk vind ik de mensen die zeggen dat Anky verkeerd rijd enz. een beetje raar.

    Anky rijdt op Olympisch niveau. De jury en mensen die er werken bij zo'n hoog dressuur niveau weten het beter dan ons. als anky een rollkur zo gebruiken zouden ze dat daar ook zeggen en dan had je ook nooit de Olypische spelen 3x gewonnen. en mensen die zeggen dat Bonfire beweegt als een robot , kijken niet echt goed. Het paard beweegt niet als een robot, zijn bewegingen zijn soepel.

  • sie rollt ihre pferde auf und gibt noch an es sei eine ausbildungsmethode

    ich dachte piaffe sei hankenbiegung?? sieht man in diesem video hankenbiegung? ich denke nicht sowas nett man nach udo bürger eine pseudopiaffe.

    solange reiter wie sie noch mit preisen beworfen werden werden unschuldige pferde weiter gequält. leider

  • @ sselkub:

    Entschuldige, ich muss dich mal ganz blöd was Fragen ... wie sieht denn "Hakenbiegung" aus?

  • bei der hankenbiegung "beugt" das pferd seine hinterbeine mehr. die hinterbeine tretenmehr unter den schwerpunkt des pferdes. das becken wird mehr abgekippt und der rücken wölbt sich auf.

  • Achso ... und wie erreicht man das?

  • DURCH REITEN

    also ein richtige ausgebildetes pferd hankenbiegung is versammlung und versammlung is die letzte stufe der ausbildungsskala

    dieses pferd hat nicht mal die erste erreicht...

    schade

  • @sselkub

    I understand what you are saying. And I don't say I'm a big fan of rollkür, but think of this:

    She isn't some kind of beginner. So she's got a lot of horse sense ( or rider sense or whatever). And when a physiotherapist treats a horse they roll them up as well.....

    But let me say it again: It's not that I'm a big fan of rollkür!!

  • @666gadreel Maybe, but you have to admit there are *good* ways of rolling the horse up and *bad.* Rollkur is one of the bad, because it creates an unhealthy amount of tension or stretch in the back. Anky also tends to be very tough on the mouth of her horses. :x I used to be a big fan, but then I learned more about horses.

  • @sselkub ...meistens tussen die selbst keine ahnung vom reiten haben.frust .-)

  • Echt onzin Monika je hebt helemaal gelijk !

    Ze is helemaal to!

  • Wat een pure onzin!!! Als Anky haar paarden slecht zou behandelen,werkten de paarden niet zo graag en geweldig voor haar!!! Doe het haar maar na....deze meid is TOP,evenals haar paarden en Sjef. Geniet ervan....doe ik zeker!!!

  • dude anky shouldnt have won that Final competion cause just cause she is the top rider doesnt mean she automatically wins. she didnt ride the best that one final competeion and she is way to harsh on her horses.!

  • great song, just wish you could of found someone than Anky, the poor probably gets sick of being yanked on every stride. not to mention the rollkur.

  • You should tell her that the next time you beat her in a competition.

  • I will, actually. But thanks for your opinion!

  • I will, actually. But thanks for your suggestion!

  • I think you forgot to add "nahney nahney boo boo". I also think we ALL know that the closest you have ever been to Anky Von Grusven is sitting right where you are. I would never say she is perfect and most likely neither would she. I am only guessing since I have never and most likely will never meet her. It is....annoying?...when computer-chair trainers make snotty comments about undeniably talented riders. Instead, why not just get out and ride your own??

  • Isbolick, you are either a star stucked teenager or an adult imbecile. Anky is all about " Me Myself and I " she is in it for stardom and greed. Everybody who has any brain know that she will do just about anything behing close doors or in the warm up arena to torture her horses into submission. She enslaved her horses, she torument them and destroy their joints and spine. Dressageislife123 expressed is very well. You on the other hand expressed your opinion in a very uneducated way.

  • People who say things like "she torument them" shouldn't throw around the word "imbecile" lightly...

  • Correct ! you said it yourself. what about the old masters ;legerete / Lightness ? anyone ???? there is a big difference between that horrid competition dressage and Classical dressage . Oh one more thing since you are american , in your country anyone who has gabs of money can buy a Grand Prix horse and do any test since there are no rules , most go to PSG to be able to wear the top hat ... hahahahaha ..... so I am not surprise that in a country as such , people like you are roaming around

  • I'm sorry, I just have to say look at Bonfire's ears. They're forward and floppy, meaning he's quite relaxed and happy, which I think is one of the best things to see in dressage, it reiterates the whole concept of harmony, and his actual movements are quite fluid and relaxed too. They wouldn't be like that if he wasn't happy and there wasn't harmony between horse and rider.

  • You don't have to get shirty about it. I'm well aware of what sometimes goes on behind closed doors with this level of dressage, I was simply commenting on the test itself. I whole heartedly agree with the your thoughts on the rollkur and I think it a extremely harsh, unnatural method of training but I was unaware that Anky used such a method, as I follow the eventing world more than the dressage, and I do not advocate Anky's use of it at all.

  • Comment removed

  • sorry,but Bonfire is over 20 years old,and still in a good shape and alive.... so he is trained on a bad and unhealthy way ?? I don t like the rollkur,but i also don t like the way persons talk about Anky and Edward,that the should break their neck and that kind of talking. I would be pleased if the persons who give this kind of comment put their own results in riding in their comment

  • @esfasserd8888

    please educate yourself in proper use of words and punctuation.

  • Well look at that all fancy and ready to critic Esfasserd , because Anky 's work is educated ? because Anky 's work is not vulgar ???? Anky is uneducated, vulgar and repulsive and you Lethalwhatever you can put your comment up your ass , is that proper enough for you my dear?

  • @ottopasquier

    excuse me?

    it's really hard to take someone seriously when they can't spell "please" and use a shit ton of punctuation.

    if you want someone to take you seriously, learn to type.

    and no, your comment isn't proper enough for me either. learn proper sentence structure and stop putting spaces after your punctuation.

  • @zozelini

    And his tail xD

    If he wasn't relaxed it would move a lot faster, an go against his body, but he is just waving it...

  • @egasserd8888 HAHAHA!!! Please educate yourself. Try riding dressage. How about you start with getting on a horse?

  • Monty Roberts could do that. But I doubt since he is one of the most polite people I´ve ever seen.. He doesnt have to ride against anky to proof what he says is right. That man loves horses and knows perfectly well what is good and what´s not for a horse!

  • Wow! that horse is perfect ! and anky is amazing too. :)

  • Wauw..

    Vind dit echt geweldig!

  • anky is a horse abuser!

  • aw kawai! ^.^

  • i <3 anky! omg did u hear she is gonna be competing in REINING next year at the world equestrian games!!!!

  • REINING!!!!! God, she'll be 10x worst then she already is. How can you like her!!!!

  • shes a great dressage rider!!! ur prably sum western freak right? u dont know the realness of dressage hmpf

  • she should have got dead last . ever horse rides looks like a robot!!!!!!!!

  • I AM NOT "SUM WESTERN FREAK"!!!!!!!! im a dressage rider, and i bet u don't know shit about dressage

  • i do high level dressage acually so i do kno alot about it

  • good for u, no one cares!!!!!!

  • wow have serious problems dont u

  • no i do not. u have the problem

  • really? cuz im not the one getting mad here

  • i'm just saying that anky is a bad rider. and the judges r stupid enough to out her in first.

  • how is she a bad rider? she looks great!

  • and your thirteen?? sure... ummm none that old could do this u lyar

  • i trin horses to do this. like horses in which their owners want to do dressage, they arent warmbloods but they get to doing it

  • @9yrhunterjumper i'm sure you do! and i'm sure you won the olympics too ^^

  • i havnt been in the olympics...???

  • high level? ....you´re 13...??

  • well i dont compete just like do half passes and passages and stuff like that u kno

  • In case some people do not know--- ALOT of western training includes more than its fair share of dressage dicipline - If you " 9yrhunterjumper" knew anything at all about western riding you might want to retract your statement about western riders being "freaks"---

  • i dont think western riders are freaks. it was just a comeback^^ i kno alot of western riders who hate dressage so it was the firdt thing that came to my head. i do western pleasure and trail for fun so i dont think they are freaks

  • This brought tears of joy to my eyes--if only the dear Irish-Canadian riding instructor I had when a youth had lived to see it! RIP, Coach--I hope you dance like this in Heaven!

  • my two loves....in one! Irish dancing and horses :)

  • hey what a great rider my favorite part was the  half pass and the flying change.you put the music together soo well i love the whole thing.

    Ik hèb jouw muziek niet gebruikt!

  • outstanding i love horses. fair play

  • wow!! she is an amazing rider!

  • Such a shame someone stole my compilation of this music, yes I'm Artanis111, on a new account. You should look in my profile, favorites and then the first video. It's exactly my compilation of Ronan Hardimans Music.

  • Ik hèb jouw muziek niet gebruikt!
