I don't know, if it was freestyle. But as a child I watched Dr Rainer Klimke and Ahlerich at the Olympics. It was the only time I ever enjoyed sports on TV. Still remember this great performance, great also the guy commenting it. And how relaxed the horse was at the end of such hard work.

This horse is truely incredible.

This was beautiful. The announcers are way too nonchalant about how hard this horse is working. I actually cried during the change up sequence ! Bravo 👏

I do not ride and I cannot conceive of how this rider conveyed to his horse every minute change in direction, and alteration of speed, he required. Absolutely magical to watch, and very moving too. Respect!

That horse worked so hard for him. Wringing that tail practically all the way. But the rider was so calm quite and fluid saying yes you can son , we will do it together. The cooperation was beautiful. None of that nasty rolkur. Excellent job.

One of the greatest and mindful trainers of grand prix dressage in the world, he rides so lightly, no jamming into the horses back just sitting kindly in thmovent.

not a single unnatural stride, everything was phased into her next step. horse who figured out whats being asked and enjoys doing it; knows they're great at it. love the confidence.

You get the best ride with the most heart in return for your kindness - superb

Carl Hester ever the master, gentleman and all-round great man!

That horse is so beautifull and doing great

He’s so smooth, never gets rattled‼️ Delicato just looks like he’s just floating along with no worries…. Love It ♥️

Wonderfully beautiful Freestyle. Congratulations Carl. Superb!!

I wish we could watch and listen to the music! The constant comments distract and ruin the ambience and performance of this spectacular team of man and horse. .

Gorgeous horse, beautiful round.

Brings tears to the eyes.

Faith in dressage riders restored 🙌 after watching E. Gal with Total US I was horrified. But this is dressage, its harmony and beautyful.

Love Carl, he has done so much for dressage, and Del is a fabolous looking horse, but he used to get nervous in the ring, I am happy to see him get more confident and perform so well in that (I am sure quite overwhelming) atmosphere at Olympia. I imagine the indoor arenas present the most pressure for horse and rider, especially in Olympia, where it is so packed, when the riders come in, the front row can almost touch them.

Poetry in motion,what a wonderful understanding between horse and rider.What a beautiful animal.

What control, what grace. Absolutely beautiful. Gives me chills. Thank you for sharing this. 💞

The boss music really fits the occasion. The gelding is a very handsome one at that. He seems well trained and it was cool to watch him.

Lovely performance! No tight rein, and no angry tail-lashing. Loiks like they both had fun!

What a performance, the horse was so graceful.🌹

The test is the quiet hands and seat :)

That is one happy horse ... Doing what it does best ... Lovely to see ...

Poetry in motion... Gave me goosebumps

I believe that this horse has the ability to fly.

A magnificent duo.

A complete connection.

Absolutely beautiful

Absolute perfection!

How graceful. They make it look so easy but yet it took years of practice and perfection. Looks like a blast.

Wow!! What a beautiful performance...by horse, & rider...pure perfection!!

Lovely , relaxed partnership.

Gorgeous ❤️, the horse transitions into each move so beautifully, it's incredible!!

Love it-good seat, calm hands and smooth transitions.

That was the most amazing thing I’ve seen. Beautiful graceful exquisite and bravery. Just gorgeous.

I have tears in my eyes. It is almost too much.

Not sure how anything negative could even be said. Beautiful and amazing!

This horse glides , not like Valegro who's movements were bolder, this horse has a whole lot more to give in the future its clear to see .

@@hanakinsidewalker Yep, according to what I read he was gelded because his confirmation wasn't on par with the breed standard. Failed in his breeding, but excelled in being a living masterpiece. I would have loved to see foals from him, but it was not meant to be.

Stunning music and amazing test!

What a beautiful horse. How on earth does a horse learn to do this. Fantastic....I can't think of a word that could describe the beauty and talent !

Such a relaxed horse. Beautiful to watch!

Another beautiful example ❣️❣️

Wow this horse is elegant with his moves!

So relaxed not stressed at all

Beautiful and masterful!!

thank you, man and horse...Miraculous. Breathtaking.

I wish I could start riding all over again.. I would choose Dressage. Its so beautiful and the partnership between horse and rider is amazing to watch...

I know nothing about horses and as I watched the pure beauty spoke to my soul.

The most beautiful thing I have seen in a long time

That is a brilliant horse! Just amazing ability and great communication between rider and horse.

I love the god father of British Dressage!! Maker,creator,father of horse and rider!! 100%

Beautiful!!! Many thanks!!!

beautiful creature! i know absolutely nothing about horseback riding but i know pure beauty when i see it

Beautiful job horse and rider. Takes a long time to get to this point. So stunning ❤️

Mercy!! How in the world do they teach that horse all of that?? Beautiful and Amazing.

Loved, Loved Blu Hors Matinee!! Devastated to learn of that magnificent mares untimely death. So Sad!!❤

Bravo! Beautiful!

Now that’s a show pony.. spectacular and great music too

Reminds me of Rembrandt back at the Barcelona Olympics. What a performance that was!

Absolutely stunning! Bravo!!!

Beautiful transitions on short gallop, flows seamlessly! Splendid showing, 👍👍❤️

This has to be one of the most beautiful things I’ve ever seen. I didn’t know a horse could dance like that! Holy Smokes. Goosebumps is right!

Truer words were never spoken. A disturbing trend(?) in many disciplines that might finally fade were it not rewarded. Especially in the discipline of Dressage where the ultimate, the highest, is the goal.. these Tests the pursuit. I'm far from an expert but don't need to be to truly appreciate the effort this partnership represents. Fluid is a word that comes to my mind.. perfection on it's heels. Thank you for sharing this.

Beauty in action.

Magnificent!

Very elegant horses and riders. Quite an art.
