@drgnfr horses come collected (neck flexing) naturally.My horse does it all the time, and I've never taught her to do that.We are simply asking the horses to use their muscles.It's like....the horse version of ballet.I did ballet, and it stretched muscles that I'd never used before, and probably shouldn't be used.Does that mean I didn't like it?No I loved ballet.It is the same way with the horses.They are using muscles that they already have.This is a horrible version of dressage I might add.

Eh...very disorganized for dressage...

[drgnfr]

And not to mention their hyper-flexed necks they are obliged to be ridden with.

People have to know what dressage is before they get so fervent in defending whatever looks like it.

[drgnfr]

This is such a bad imitation of "classical horsemanship" (as 'modern' people like to call it). These are bad circus tricks that have nothing to do with the merits of true dressage.

These horses lack harmony and energy in their moves: they are contrived rather than natural. The passage in the beginning is completely disordered. Clearly that poor horse is asked to give more than it is physical developed to and than it would have properly (and patiently) been taught to.

@pinkluwink Absolutely right! These are not calm horses.

those people who hate on some of THE BEEESSSSTTTT PEOPLE AND HORSES IN DRESSAGE you people ar both stupid and jealous. I am sooooo jealous of their skills. SO STOP BEING SO ANNOYING AND THINK FOR A MINUTE "hmmm....maybe they are just trying to put up a nice video to teach people what they do." ....thank you.

There is a difference between a horse swishing its tail and whipping its tail... Not to mention that if a horse is swishing its tail in pain, fear, or anger you will also see their ears pinned back... It is very easy to tell (for those who are used to it) in a horse's expression when they are being mis-treated.

In addition a horse traine through fear will never attain this level of mastery... this is high level stuff going on here.

Woww, a horse flicking it's tail doesnt mean its in pain nor does it mean its crying out! does that horse have its earse pineed? Do you see that horse throwing its head? Thatt horse is enjoying what its doing, and might i say it does it very well! My Hanoverian French Tb Cross Gelding can bow, and rear on command ive been doing dressage for 3 years now and my horse loves doing it, he cant wait to go. I HIGHLY disagree that is crule in any way shape and or fourm!(:

[pinkluwink]

A horse flicking its tail is a horse that is irritated, there is no arguing with that. It really annoys me when people insist that flicking it's tail is a way of (insert excuse here, such as keeping tempo, showing enthusiasm etc). Horses don't think like that, they simply react to what's going on around them.
