Fantastisch!

However, if you look at Anky, Edward or even Isabell Werth, you will notice the curb is consistently at an angle greater than 45 degrees to the horses mouth. The curb puts pressure on the poll which causes the horse to flex vertically. This consistent over cranking of the curb causes the horse to over collect in the neck. A limited amount of curb, as SP does, is a highly classical practice, and shows that the rider is using the seat more for collection instead of the curb.

fantastic!!!........esp!.....the "expression" of the horse!......a true horseman, makes any horse true!:)....all of steffen peters' horses look like that!!!:)

An amazing rider on an amazing horse. It doesn't get much better than that. :)

Thank you so much for posting this! It is fantastic. FYI - more people on KZread will 'hit' on it if you spell his name correctly.

wow....I love watching this pair move

The first song is Viva La Vida by Coldplay. The second song is Sympathy for the Devil by the Rolling Stones.

@SilivasGold YES!!! THANK YOU!!! I'm glad someone FINALLY noticed how lenient and careless the judges were! That horse SHOULD NOT have scored so high with his uneven movement and unsteady changes and, well, many other things...

Wow! Mir bleibt die sprache weg. Den ersten platz hat er sich mehr wie verdient.,,,:) weiter so

great horse. great rider. great music. :D

Horse look so relaxed, just look at his tail. I love harmony between their! Maybe Piaffe isn't very well, but I have to say; good job!

@aauvolleyball21 Actually Edward Gal did not train Ravel to I-1. He only got to ride Ravel when the horse was much older, he had several other riders train and break him. Also, just want to point something out that makes Steffen Peters a much better rider, note the curb bit. You will notice the curb is on a 45 degree or less angle with Ravel's jawline, thus he is not using the curb as much.

Really? At first, I thought it was a little odd, but it really grew on me. Are you thinking of the passage/piaffe transition?

I agree. Edward Gal is an amazing rider and Totilas is an amazing horse, but Steffen and Ravel fit perfectly.

It's amazing that top horses land toe first. What's more amazing is that top trainers, riders and judges don't know that it is incorrect.

i dont know if you follow horsegirltv:dressage but she actually just did a segment about music freestyles. its in podcast on itunes or her website

I was stunned while watching this...just one word: AWSOME!!! Does anybody knows the name of the instrumental part from "We can dance"? I really like it!

This ride was great, and the music ist wonderful - can someone tell me which is the music when he rides in?

Kan iemand mij vertellen welke muziek na "we can dance" komt? Can someone tell me which music he is using after "we can dance" ?

Greetings from Irlande. It's lovely to watch a Dressage horse and rider in harmony. But I prefer Show Jumping. I Gra ( Love ) to stand near a 1.40m practice fence and feel/sense that horse give that fence 30cm with ease :-) so hard to find the " Good one " but I know of a good 5 y.o. grey gelding Jumper who will at least go to 1.50m. He has an amateur girl rider at moment. He needs a "good rider".

Great riding! I could watch these all day long. Does anyone know if there's any way to get hold of the music these riders use in their kurs? I know most will be made up by bands etc, but is there somewhere to start?

@robespierrot1 we spell "spel" with two l's also.. :D (this is ment in the kindest possible way)

Loving the floppy relaxed ears :)

geniales pferd!!!!

His poll is the highest point. The 4th vertebrae is actually very low in the neck compared to popular belief and thus in that particular position the poll is actually the highest point. As for his changes, they are a lot better than Totilas, he is extremely unbalanced in them. Steffen Peters has also been coached by Jessica Ransehousen, an American rider and trainer, since he came to the US. He is not exactly what I would call a European trained rider.

Bot geil wie der tanzt :)

who comments ??? he is so funny!!!

I would rather see his hands moving than perfectly still. If they are perfectly still, they are obviously not giving and are hard.

I will always believe that gelding this great horse was a crime against nature! Ravel's owners - no matter how filthy rich they may be - would do well to take a lesson in true horsemanship from the owners of Moorlands Totilas.

I must agree, I am not a fan of this type of modern riding and despite them claiming to be the basis of classical, I do not see it and I really think its changed. If you watch the Piaffe, it is not a true piaffe, as Philippe Karl would say, a false piaffe, this means the back feet don't actually come up as they should. His transition work looks almost a bit, rusty and tense, the transitions aren't great. Also I don't like the fact that his hands seem to move around quite a bit,which I dislike!

he looks nice and loose!!!!!

...auch dieser reiter sollte sich mal den film "stimmen der pferde" ansehen !

Als. Es heißt "mehr als verdient". Nicht wie.

omg look at that guy at 4.30 next to ankys husband, he has possibly the worst hair and facial expression i have ever seen........lololol
