Thanks for that. I admire his calm, confident simplicity as a rider.

I could spend hours watching him ride anything.

So refreshing to watch! What I know about dressage would likely barely fill my cowboy boots (Ropers which are a short boot!), but compared to some of the dressage tests I’ve seen lately, that was a lovely relaxed ride, no tail wringing, gaping mouth, of fake looking foam. I really enjoyed watching it.

Nice. Such a lovely canter.

Whinny at H was well-executed. 10!

Lovely!! Thanks for posting this!

I bet Hester won’t give that ride up to anybody.

Unlikely. He belongs to these folks; https://www.facebook.com/bigwooddahldressage/

I think the participants in the lottery funded British High Performance Programme give back to BEF when they have the opportunity.

What a lovely ride and horse. Even the dog waiting till the end to “cheer”. Very polite.

I think this is the first time I’ve actually seen Carl ride. I always see him coaching or on the ground. Impressive.
