  • I agree she is very obedient, but does look tight, and just doesnt do it for me..but.. SO HAPPY NOT to see roll kur though so. good on debbie for using the nice way around her training

  • @horses4evr29 Most riders don't own them

  • I believe that it is possible to trot in place and not be doing a "true" piaffe. In a genuine piaffe the horses haunches lower and the backend takes on more weight. I don't see that happening in the case of this horse.

  • I would like to see this mare using her backend more. Even in a piaffe this horse's hind cannons are veritcal to the ground.

  • What a great pair! The aids are just about invisible (which is the way it's supposed to be). Beautiful horse, both are nicely turned out! I love the flying changes in the beginning.

  • It looks to me that Brentina trips in that last extension, and then canters to compensate for the tremendous power and momentum she had from the trot. It would be interesting to see the score sheet for that movement to see the judge's take on what happened, and how it was scored...

  • hehe thats what makes her cute! :)

  • Beautiful team work

  • this horse and rider team are my heros!!

    but brenita does look a bit thick in the belly... hehe
