@twinfools23 Umm i think most of these are from Morvan Park! I went to PC nationals with him in 2007 in Kentucky and i went in 2008 with my quadrille in virginia :)
Dressage has got to be the ultimate horse sport. These amazing rider and horses strive for something unattainable; perfection. I've tried dressage and I just can't get the hang of it. Congrats you guys!
@hale2horses11 thank you so much!! thats so sweet! and don't give up, dressage is a never ending learning expirince, i think thats what makes it so great! :)
@jeaninedressage Yea this was several years ago when i did a test ride for the CCI one star test for eventing, and your required to wear a shadbelly but you cant use a double haha its wierd. Its like riding a first level test in a shadbelly, feels akward! But as of this year it is actually legal to use a snaffle in FEI Dressage Tests unless its a CDI.
@jeaninedressage Yea aperently! I know ive seen several people in region one do it. I still normally use my double at shows, becuase he gets really strong with me at competetions sometimes! But i think the double is required for Junior/ Young Rider qualifiers, but im not positive. But if your just showing the test you can use a snaffle. =]
@jeaninedressage yea i school in the snaffle becuase i like to know that i can use it one him, and then whenever i do use the double on him hes amazing in it. but shows and clinics i always use the double, pluss it looks more legit :) !
wow, well done, now i really want a hanovarian... is he good at jumping too? apparently there the worlds best jumpers... and looks like dressage horses too ;p
well done... but i must say, you were over bent in some of the photo's like at 2:15 but that was only some of the time... p.s. it can cause a dead tongue and neck problems... WELL DONE and keep it up :D
i agree with you showjumperxo i got my horse for only 50 dollars and he is the best horse i have ever had he was saved me from a coyotte once. He got bit and we almost had to put him down but the day that the vet came he got up and he walked around and he acted fine so we watched him for a couple weeks and studied how he acted and he was fine.
well its really just relaxation, once hes relaxed through his back and if you ride your horse properly from to back to front and dont try to force anything there back and top line will relax and will build up the muscle to hold themselfs there. its really just leg! also lateral work usually helps them relax.
thank you so much! Yea i pretty much trained him myself, my moms a big dressage rider but we fight so much when it comes to riding that i cant even get her help.
and two winters ago i could get on her without her rearing and bolting and now we have shown through all the lower levels and are working on Pre ST George. So again PRICE HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH IT! no offense i just hate when ppl say tht horse is moroe expensive so its better NO. she does its all beautifullly, half pass, pirroutes, passage, all of it. so noo not at alll.
to angelkissedu; its not about how much the horse is worth at alll. i have four warmbloods imported from all over Europe that people alwas ask how they move with so much grace and extension & then I have my quater horse & the Dressage judges have asked if shes cross with WB at all and i say no and they are SHOCKED i bought her for 9000 and she moves better then my WBs tht cost bout 50-80k so its has nothing to do with price, its all about the work you put into them. She loves to flip over on ppl
Wow, you have a beautiful horse. In German we wear a cylinder at the level L (:
I think that looks better. I like the way you practise so hard to get higher an higher..My English isn't very well, i know ( i'm german ) but i hope you can understand..;)
thanks! hes great! haha and no i understand =] i dont know what a cylinder is though? And we used to live in germany i was born there and came back when i was 4but i forgot what all the levels were there! Isnt L level like 3rd level? may be higher... imm not sure!
Im 15 now this vedio is when i was me 14 and under, hes a hanovarian he tries so hard! and i dont exactly have the best family life, just a great mom that helps me and i work really hard in my riding.
aww thanks so much!! Well i must say is dont give up!! Some times determination is all you need there were so many times where i wanted to give up on this horse and now hes doing things i never thought he would be able to do. Just stick with it! As for expression and elivation that will come with collection and then you can use the energy ou created from the collection to ride him more up i hope that helps! and good luck to you im sure you can do it!
wow, those are quite the achievements for a rider at your (and my) age! my instructor is 28 and just got her USDF silver medal. keep up the good work! your horse is gorgeous!
I've never done dressage before and I've never realy been interested in it, but I've got a 2 and a half year old welsh cob x irish draught, but he's a realy nice mover, and if he pretends he can't do extended trot when i back him he's totally lying LOL
So I'd really like to do something like that with him, but i don't know much about dressage :P
But you two look gorgous, I'm deffietely going to give it a go one day!
Thank you so much! And yea you deff should give dressage a try someday! I hope all goes well with your horse young horse! and hahah its funny how you can tell when there lying to you. :)
Wow, good for you! I did the same at your age - worked with a horse up the levels over a period of years. A great experience. I wanted to go for YR championships but unfortunately I didn't own the horse and lost the ride once he was 'trained'. People whine about not having money for an expensive horse but few people seem to realize that with hard work you can do a lot with what you've got. You learn so much more from the work and training than you ever could being just given a made horse!
Omg thank you so much for this comment!! And im really sorry to hear to that about the horse you trained thats really to bad. And yea its crazzy that people think you can just get to higher levels with money, i think you get so much more out of it to from learning with your horse, like the partnership i have with him its just amazing i wouldnt ever want to give it up and i wouldnt trade him in for any other horse! Do you have a horse that you can ride now?
Omg really? thats awsome im gona try for the team this summer to! Let me know how things go for you :) and thats awsome that youve taken him from being a jumper to fei dressage!
Im so excited to make my freestyle for junoirs but right now i have my fei pony for sale and i have to sell her so i can afford to do quallifying shows.
No i was born in germany and i lived there for four years and started riding while i was there. Now i live in Virginia Region 1. And yea i still have to make my jr freestyle and cant wait to do it! And thats to bad about the pony its crazzy how expensive everything is.
I trained him myself, he wasnt expensive at all getting and when i got him he hadnt cantered in two years and exploded, alot. To get to where i am today has taken alot of hard work and determination.
hahah yea i know it was a test ride for an International class at an event and my mom wouldnt let me wear the top hat since im only 14, usually i show in the short coat and my helmet. hes 13 and good luck to you at 3rd level!
Great horse! I hope to make it to the young rider one day. I am only doing second level right now and am now looking for a new horse. Great job though!
Thanks! Yea i really want to quallify for the Jr team next year and were going to work really hard on the tests this winter! Except if i did make the team im not sure if i will go considering its in colorado again and i heard there was alot of problems there this year. Such as riders fainting from the heat and horses getting sick.
Really? that would be great becuase last i heard it was gona be in Colorado and then they were saying maybe virginia but ohio would be alot easier to get to than Colorado.
Thanks! 3rd level is like M in Germany i only know this becuase we lived in germany for four years and my mom competed while we lived there so i just asked her =] 2nd level is probably like L, (not sure though) and idk what 1st level would be but its easier than 2nd and 3rd. I hope that helps!
haha sorry i only know the levels for the united states and germany!!! But i can tell you like what you do in each level! and thanks! I love him so much we've ben working so hard lately! If you work hard then you will get there! =]
You are an amazing rider! Your horse looks pretty special to. Well done :)
