This is DISGUSTING! That woman should be shot for torturing her horses! It's an OUTRAGE!

[BonVuaz]

nowadays Olympic games have nothing in common with ideals of classical dressage... it is like some kind of parody... and that is very very sad...

"Horse trying to escape hyperflexion." -ich glaube eher das sie ihn ein bisschen ans traben bekommen will und ihn desalb flott am bein macht..und nicht das er versucht aus der rollkur zu fliehen..

Isn't this like beating up the person you call your *best friend*?? I can't stand that woman and she has no right to torture horses like she does then say how much she *loves* them.

i absolutly hate the way she rides this horse. i could never do that to any horse i work with. i would never put them through this!

Now, I will admit I was never into the Anky hype to begin with. Nothing ever stood out to me about her, personally.

But, I will say this: for the 'world's top dressage rider' she sure is heavy with her hands...

[beautifulxface]

But I think the saddest thing about all of this is - well, it's bad enough for someone in a higher position to be doing this, but think about all of the people she's influencing and some inexperienced person is going to go and try and do this, hopping up on their horse and cranking it's nose to it's chest because they 'want to be just like Anky'

[beautifulxface]

I'm not really educated on hyperflexion, though from looking at it - I don't see it as a comfortable position - for any creature, or human. Try walking around with your chin to your chest - if anything, the back of your neck will sore up, think of what these horses must be feeling to be pulled into this position. Secondly, when in that position, the horse is looking at the ground...how can they be aware of what's around them when they're looking at the ground??

a major grilling and I would earn very bad name. If I did this at home mum would grill me for it too! It's unacceptable for anyone to do that to any horse, letalone with a double bridle and to an animal that, judging by his severe reactions, is highly tuned and sensitive. Why is it Anky gets away with this kind of BS and worse still, is celebrated for it Do her supporters watch her do things like that and still say "she was being so sensitive with the reins, she wasn't pulling in any way"??
