Edward Gal on Moorlands Totilas, Dressage test, Hickstead Sat 25th July 2009

Have you ever seen a horse make a mistake, score 3s and 4s and then wow everyone and score three 10s in the next movement! Amazing, and this stallion is only 9 years old, it has the most incredible passage, piaffe and extensions, imagine what it will be like in a few years if it is winning competitions whilst still making silly mistakes now!

Check out full review of the event and Edwards Kur on the Sunday...

Edward Gal and Totilas were a perfect pair. It s so obvious in the attitude style, and presentation exhibited here and in all the videos I have seen. I have read a horse never forgets. I am sad he has been sold and on to new owners.

nice test shame about the music a bit dull

Its funny to read those negative comments. As a trainer I know most negative comments are probably coming from "backyard" riders that couldnt even get through a low level dressagepattern without pulling the horses mouth or spurring it in the sides.

Love watching dressage videos and watch how different horses work and carry themself. The FEI commitee banned rollkur and wouldnt give a high score if they suspected it. Enjoy the ride instead!!

mir tut edward gal leid weil man ihm sein pferd unterm hintern wegverkauft hat!

[HerMajestyTheLlama]

Totilas is beyond words. I love him.

I agree. This puppet act belongs in a circus. Very unnatural to the point of hideous.

[brendangwbergin]

Sorry this horse has totally unatural movement and shows classic rollkur high front legs :( a true pity.

He has a very nice canter, and a very correct piaffe. 10 means perfect. This horse is trained correctly and is beautiful. Who are we to be arguing with weather or not this horse is "correct" when the best judges in the world are giving him 90%+!? I however, do not like his extended trot. If he wouldn't give so much effort with his front legs, his back legs would have a chance of reaching equally. You can't train that kind of leg movement, it's from his breeding.

Totlias is the most beautiful horse I seen. It's hard to belive that a horse can do stufs like that. HE is so amasing ;O <3
