I have seen so many performances but this is just....WOW. Well done

Sorry - my response got away from me. Yes, they breed them for dressage. Think of it like gymnastics or ballet for horses. Not all horses can do this level, like Matine, but all can benefit from the training. Even Western riders are using many of the techniques. It is good for the horse as long as rollkur or some other nasty technique is used.

This is a freestyle so the rider makes the decision.

this is so much better than Ankys performance. hers didnt have that wow factor. it was just..bluh. it was a good test, but it was more..subdued than Matines

So do they breed these horses just for dressage?And does the trainer train a choreography, or does he train it a trick and let's the rider decide in which order and style to do the tricks?

Think what u wanna think. Thats why such "modern" trainingmethods are more n more popular. Big Show, but not a dressagecompetition in the classical meaning.Anyway, I bet, Andreas and Matinee will not compete again, cuz he left Blue Hors Stud to run his own business.
