i adore this horse he is truely fab but on the day he is not as brill as totilas....nobody is! definitely go for gold at the olympics as laura's methods are much nicer than adelinde's and i think m. horjis is loads better than parzival! mistrel horjis did a better test than totilas (i think) in the team test but totilas outclassed them in the special !

[hannahbananaroxsox]

@kxxxt94 Yes, but in extented trot, he actually tracks up with his hindlegs, whereas Totilas doesn't - watch a video of him and concentrate on the backend instead of the height given by the frontend and you will notice that he gives more of a working trot with the back end rather than extending (I didn't notice this until someone down the yard told me to look at his backend instead of the very expressive front end. Also, Mistral steps over a lot better in his half passes.

I think Laura is such a talented rider. They are a great team. Beautiful ride - just the way dressage should be.

The music at the gallop-part is;

Rondo Veneziano- Musica fantasia !!

[mondydsp]

She should have won. If dressage was judged according to the FEI rulebook, she would have.
