I am 12 and doing eventing on my 11 year old welsh Arab pony. This video really inspires me to keep going for my dreams. I love how well the movements fit the songs! <3

Thank you, 3victorialynn!! I rode an Arabian when I was your age. Have fun!

[DanishHorses]

Thanks liquiddiamnds! This video portrays a real team effort. We are proud!

[HorseGeek99]

You are amazing. period. Probably the best dressage rider ever! Look at how loose and relaxed your horse is!! I love his tempis!!! And his extended canter, that is beautiful!! The is probably the most fun freestyle ever! You are just an amazing rider! I am 14, and I hope someday maybe I can be half as good as you! Your horse is amazing, you are amazing, and this freestyle is amazing!!!

Can't believe I haven't seen this video before now. The reach in the trot half passes is phenomenal as is the energy level throughout. Love the transition to an extended walk!!! Oh heck, love the whole darned thing. :)

song, horse & rider beautiful

I love the tempis!!!! They go so wonderfully with the music and I love how she continues to do them in the bend as she comes back around. That has to be difficult! This is one o my favorite tests because of the soundtrack!!!

Dressage is supposed to be about looking effortless and using very subtle, soft movements to cue your horse that the average onlooker wouldn't detect, this rider has very loud, bouncy hands and her leg cues are extremely obvious and look uncomfortable. I've seen much better...

@HorseGeek99 If you enjoy freestyle, I suggest you watch Totillas and Edward Gal, i find them truly inspirational towards all aspects my riding, I personally love jumping but i still think there a great example of what a horse and riders bond can acheive :)

[elemelek14]

Great horse, tho I have to say that rider isn't as good.

@ninak2012 I would love to see a video of you riding a GP freestyle. If you watch this video you can see beautiful harmony between rider and horse from how well he moves through the hind end, he trusts her completely and uses her contact as a "fifth leg".

[ninak2012]

Definitely not the best dressage I've seen. Uneven rhythm with abrupt transitions and over bending during half passes and corners. The rider yes, is good, but is obviously doing A LOT of busy work to get her horse to do what he's doing. Lot's of flopping and with loud leg and hand work. It's supposed to look effortless. I give them a C
