Georg Theoderescu, dressage maestro, quoted by Ullrich Kasselmann in response to a question about riding deep.MokoFeed2009-11-09T13:03:59+01:00tag:dressagetruth.blog.co.uk,2007-12-10:/2007/12/04/durchlaessigkeit~3396656/#c5445043MsMotty2007-12-10T20:47:57+01:002007-12-10T20:47:57+01:00I applaud you for having the guts to "speak out" as it were about the problems in dressage, but I feel that you are sometimes missing the point slightly. You have concentrated on the horse far too much. Surely, as a rider, you should not lay all the blame at the door of the horse. It is doing the best it can possibly do within the limits of how it was built. There are horses out there that are naturally extravagant and still durchlaessig. You need to be slightly clearer with what you are explaining, or your ideas, right as they may be, will be dismissed out of hand by all but extremists.tag:dressagetruth.blog.co.uk,2007-09-28:/2007/09/23/starting_the_quest_for_truth~3029375/#c4769720DresseurDiva2007-09-28T08:54:36+02:002007-09-28T08:54:36+02:00There are not many pictures of Chacomo in extended trot, simply because he was only at Grand Prix level for 2 years. He was retired in late 2001 because of injuries, and only a month later was put down after the discovery of inoperable tumours between his lungs and stomach.<br> If you want to compare another picture of Salinero in extended trot, by all means go to my profile and check my media. This was the better picture for the point I was trying to make: the quality is good, and it clearly shows a difference in head carriage.tag:dressagetruth.blog.co.uk,2007-09-28:/2007/09/23/starting_the_quest_for_truth~3029375/#c4768750Jack2007-09-28T06:05:39+02:002007-09-28T06:05:39+02:00Actually, what you have just said is a load of crap!<br> <br> 1) To compare these two horses, you need a photo from the same angle. The reason salinero looks behind the vertical is because of the camera angle, I don't know why you people try and discuss something so pointless..<br> <br> 2) Get a photo of these to horses, from the same angle, and try and make your conversation a bit more convincing.<br> <br> 3) Salinero has one many more WEGS, OLYMPICS, and CHAMPIONSHIPS than that half bred donkey chacomo<br> <br> Thanks :)tag:dressagetruth.blog.co.uk,2007-09-22:/2007/09/22/hi~3024009/#c4719295philghodg2007-09-22T21:48:59+02:002007-09-22T21:48:59+02:00Ilook forward to learning more.
