  He was my coach, I miss him so much. It’s so nice to see him riding, I didn’t meet him and start training with him until after his accident that paralyzed him from the waist down. Yet in a single year he taught me all the Grand Prix movements on my little grade horse when I was 19 years old. I’m 60 today and still training and showing through Grand Prix thanks to his wonderful influence ❤.

  If you find the chewing mouth and tail swishing distracting, that is because you are not used to seeing horses having the freedom to do so. That is the price of having a horse with his language still intact. That is why it is important to have the neck high and nose ahead of the vertical, loose noseband, steady hands, so that the horse can actually speak. If there is a mild discomfort, they tell you. This horse wants to go and finds the movements too restrictive and is able to tell so. This is precisely why dressage was considered an art and never ending process of an improvement. To strike the balance between enthusiastic go of the horse with highly restrictive commands was difficult. Today, we take away the horses' freedom to says anything and the only time wee see them breaking down is when they actually explode in the dressage ring or bleed or turn blue. Even a cow can passage if you rollkur her. Tail swishing? Try move your back when you tie your chin to the chest - good luck.

  Love to see this, dressage is so stressed nowadays with poor riding. Nowadays horses are flicking their toes, they're pulled behind the vertical, the whole body looks stressed. This is much nicer to look at, because it's horses showing skills that are within their capabilities, instead of horses being forced to make much too exaggerated movements.

  Seeing horses move like this, heads properly above the vertical in relaxed positions, is proof that the vertical stuff is pretty much nonsense and has only come about through us overbitting and incorrect training of the horse. Horses are far more supple while holding their heads in a relaxed, natural position, muzzles forward, not pointed to the ground. They look happier because they are; this is a position they can hold comfortably and allows them to look around, you know, like an animal should be able to do. It's rare I think animal welfare was BETTER in the past, but this is pretty indisputably better animal welfare than what we have now in the equestrian world.

  The horses are experts; the riders are definitely not. Poor seats, poor stirrup position, poor reining. All the tail swishing indicates the horse is exasperated with the rider.

  Highly skilled & schooled rider on slightly underdeveloped horses. How impressive, still, the competent, relaxed, and athletic seat of the riders on these--aerobically--developed horses. Allows so much freedom in the body despite some difficulties in the neck. Comments critiquing "air time" in the saddle missing not only the pelvic tuck to keep rider centered & reduce impact, the strong engaged back, but more importantly the text stating the sit is intended as a driving seat...not show ready. Nice to see a rider free to follow the center of gravity & to influence it by body weight & core...instead of stuck in a deep seat with only free calves, spurs, and hands. Not perfect here but certainly easier to watch.

  This is real dressage. Sure, his seat isn't as good as our Olympic riders but the horse is in front of the vertical and doesn't look in pain. Plus the ears are calm and focused

  I love the higher headset, the poll is the highest point like it should be and horses are in front of the vertical. See how light it makes them on the forehand, reaching far underneath with their hind legs! So free flowing and graceful. I wish dressage would return to its roots, it used to be so beautiful to watch. 💔

  Wonder if the Americans were still buying their horses in Europe, wouldn't have been the Netherlands more likely Germany. All the cold-blood horses in the world owned by the Amish and the Americans still cant breed an American warmblood. Tut tut. I love the relaxed attitude to dressage shown here, yes most of the horses were more on the forehand than hinds but happy horses, very happy horses in the main that were still forward and powered enough from behind. I think that lovely casual forward schwung has been entirely lost in todays dressage which has far far too much tension, tension and tension. You just don't see light happy dressage anymore, always the exaggeration and force instead to create those extremes in movement. I think the last truly happy dancer I saw was Jennie Loriston Clark on Dutch Gold in the late eighties.

  And NO one cannot teach seat from galloping position. NONSENSE. One can, however, teach posting from galloping position. For some reason, the body gets “Down-Up” better than “Up Down.” Try it! Trainers, TRY IT!

  Many things to like: quiet, steady hands that keep an "elastic" contact, horses not overbent, actually looking relaxed during flying changes. Horses not rushed in extended trot, riders not leaning back as fare as modern dressage riders. Canter pirouette looks more forward and smooth, not hitchy as most ride it now. Both trot and canter on the circle show better bend through the body, and again the horse looks to be moving "freely" and relaxed. Of course, the build of the horse matters, and this is not the modern warmblood, but a slenderer, more supple horse by nature. (TB? Looks at least half TB with no hint of the heavier build, thicker neck of modern upper-level dressage horses.)

  Not one of these riders can sit! Watch the extended trot! Willi Schultheis had trained Lt.Borg long before the 1948 Olympic games on one of the horses his own trainer ,OTTO LOERKE ,had trained. I like these old movies very much - 10:41 but not that talk,as if all would have been better then.

  You underestimate our past. Those people had come from a time when horses were literally everywhere in the all day life, farming, transport, and to a much smaller amount than today for the rich, pleasure. The rider in this clip probably saw more horses in his childhood than cars. He had parents who again didn't even know cars in their childhood, and grandparents who solely travelled by coach and rarely by train. When it comes to horses and riding, mankind has not improved, but regressed, sadly because horses have become obsolete. We know less about healthy horses, healthy riding and healthy breeding than we did 100 years ago.

  Halt is a FORWARD transition. These are halts through the walk, yes. But you can see here how WHOA comes from behind; a square halt results naturally when the horse is truly on the bridle-though I think of it, and as it is here ridden, in the seat. It’s the basic physics of join-up. Not the futzing around with feet one sees too often today in even our elite dressage arenas. If the horse is truly “through” a square halt is INEVITABLE! No rearranging needed. Riders: If you’re futzing for a square halt-if you think you have to teach it-you’ve missed the point. The HALT is a test of thru-ness. If your halts aren’t square, your horse, regardless of level, IS NOT THROUGH. (End of today’s obligatory rant.)
