nicely done - out of interest what score did u get?

[Equiart]

I could not find the exact test sheet (some of them have no dates on them) and can no longer log into BritishDressage but most of his Elementary scores during this time were in the 65 to 69% range.

Fisrt of all, great horse!

I agree the rider looked a little bit tense, probably due to "test stress", but he handled it very well, especially when there was an issue with canter. I thought whips were not allowed in tests.

Nice video!

[Equiart]

yes whips are allowed in the UK, just not in the Regional or Finals competitions.

wow I wish I was that good! I just started dressage... any tips?

[Equiart]

Find a good instructor!!! And watch people who are better than you (you CAN learn by watching).

God I hate western saddle...

Let's go bounce 4 inches out of our saddle when trying to sit. Yay!

Let's run our horses into barrels pretending we're in the Kentucky Derby. Yay!

Let's go act like we're a bunch of tough cowgirls when you're whimpier than Dressage girls. Yay!

I know you're probably upset you fell off your horse at your last rodeo, but please,don't take it out on we Dressage riders. Go complain to your Ma after you finish feeding the chickens, okay redneck?

I hate the western saddle too. I do cossack riding and attempted to learn on both the Moorish (western) and Hungarian (English) saddles. The western saddle is fucking horrendous. There is almost nothing good about it. I am going to be making my own cossack saddle soon. They are built similarly to the Hungarian saddle, but there is a big cushion to sit on. The cushion is there because cavalry hate having very sore asses at the end of a hard ride.

Really a nice test. Congrats.

fair point you cant heard cattle while a horse is working rounded i dont see people trying to make there horses heard cattle with the horse in a dressage frame, do you? dressage horses arent trained to heard cattle, just like raunch horses arent trained do dressage, each takes a lot of skill, why put a comment like this, its just bitchy.

God I hate dressage...

Let's go curl our horses necks under their legs! Yayyyy useless riding styles!

I'm going to get flamed for this, but you can't herd cattle if your horse can't see what it's doing.

A lot of people don't know how to transition over from english to western, thats kinda the point I am making.

I agree, beautiful indoor. Shame about the difficulties in the canter, but very well ridden. It's easy to get flustered when we make mistakes in tests (nerve racking enough without them!). Takes a good rider to remain relaxed and ride through the mistakes. :) well done.

you're allowed to post in second level?
