Trust me i know and ride fresians they do not carry their heads like that! That isnt dressage way to collected bad halt and where is the judge also the whole arena isnt fencened it! He dosent need to chock that much on the reins!

@bobjobness This is not competition. This is a freestyle demo. Peter Spahn is the rider, one of the top riders in the Netherlands. You may wish to contact him directly to give him some advice concerning his technique.

@jeverhart99 I'm not very educated on the ways of dressage. However, you got me thinking that just because one is considered a top athlete doesn't mean they're the 'best.' Example: the USADA performed the most comprehensive survey of Olympic and elite athletes, and 10-20% of them have either used or would consider using drugs to enhance performance. The rider 'knows' what he is doing, but that's just one slice of the cake. Just a thought.

@H0useMouse I think you make a good point....

This guy needs roller skates on this horse lol he is so tall for that frisian~! lol

[jeverhart99]

@mmotyl21 Ha! yes he is very tall and this horse is very short. But the stallion has tall offspring, so that is good.

@ozarkmac This horse actually looks quite content to be performing dressage. His tail is not thrashing nor are his ears pinned back both signs of an irritated horse. More importantly though he's not drooling all over the place and his head is actually on the vertical not forced and held back as is the case with horses who are subjected to rollkur.

holy crap!!! what a horribly fake headset!! poor horse

[manitoban3]

Stunning animal.

[WuuhuXD]

@WatchMeGoDown At the keuring in the netherlands he gets the mark 8 on his trot..i think only one or two frisians gets a higher mark...one of them stallions is his grandchild Uldrike...he gets 9,5!!

@bobjobness I agree, one thing I don't care for about dressage, I like to see reining, or bridleless. If that rider can do dressage bridleless, then I'd be impressed. that poor friesien...how does he breath?

People these days.... This is amazing and Jaspers ears are up, he is so happy

[5alidal]

how tall is the rider?

[Technicolor731]

@TheStephenhuber ummm actually..if you look in the USDF guide to Dressage and basically any other Dressage book....even the french dictionary itself Dressage is the french word for "training" FYI. Not meant to step on anyone's toes and all. But to have the "training" right you have to have a willing and full partnership with your horse...so we all win!!!
