Have you donated to the SRS?
Alicen,
Move. Leave no forwarding address. 
A pas de deux? Sorry, I do NOT do online dating.
:lol:
SRS…
No one expects the Spanish Inquisition…
Karl Mikolka was sent this video link. He says it was filmed in 1958 and he is the third rider in the quadrille.
Call me a romantic.
Sigh. Look at the riders. So soft, so harmonious and so tactful.
Discipline without force.
What is not to like?
Cool, I will have to look again!
Aw, go ahead and take SH up on the offer, Alicen. We haven’t seen a video of his “horsemanship” in a while. You’ll clean his clock.
THEN move and leave no forwarding address. :lol:
I enjoyed watching it. Thanks!
In the mid 1960’s, the “Royal Lipizzan Stallions” or “Famous Lipizzan Stallions” came to my small home town. Does anyone know what group that would have been?
Sorry, Beasmom, I haven’t yet recovered from the trauma of last year’s move.
I feel confident, however, that sh will prevail with his USEF bitless bridle grievance and we will soon be treated with videos of his and his student’s competition successes.
Coyoteco, that was probably the group based in Florida. NOT the gen-u-wine article, but they put on a nice show for the kiddies and it is probably the only way some folks ever see a Lippizzan or anything “like” dressage.
I’ve sat through it twice now and found it disappointing, but the folks sitting around me were mostly enthralled. So the “Famous/Royal Lippizans” have their place…
They’re still better than SH…
Come on Beasmom, PLEASE accept my challenge! Let someone provide us with dressage horses unknown to us and then let the filming begin. 
The current SRS do not out ‘perform’ the SRS under Col. Podhajsky!
As for those ‘famous’ Lippizans…well I have had the opportunity to sit with dressage folks at one of their ‘shows’ and they were NOT impressed.
Dressage competition is a ‘performance’: the act of or proces of performing or carrying out…the execution…a person’s achievement under test conditions…a public exhibition…
SH, you could do a Kür on Aretha Franklin’s hit : “Chain of fools”
Chain, chain, chain…!!!

This is the strangest challenge I have heard of, especially coming from an alleged dressage rider.
Isn’t dressage supposed to be about improving and developing a horse over time? As such, why are you issuing a challenge wherein you would ride somebody else’s work product?
Surely you would prefer to be represented by your own work product with your own horses, no? Or do you feel for some reason that would put you at a disadvantage.
It would probably be wise for you to attempt to get some remotely decent footage for once (we all have bad pictures, but some of us manage to sprinkle in some good ones as well) of yourself on your own horses before you go trying to prove something on somebody else’s work.
SH, the people sitting around me at the “famous” Lipps show that I went to were NOT dressage people, or even horse folks, per se. Therefore, they were much more easily impressed. I was NOT impressed. Try to read for comprehension.
I know enough about you and your “theories” to NEVER allow you anywhere near my horse. Wreck your own animals. My gelding’s back is fixed and working fine now, TYVM, and there’s nothing you can “prove” to me that’s worth a d*mn. Nothing that’s worth putting his health and welfare in danger.
What Meupatdoes said. Produce decent footage of your own riding & training. You have no credibility here, based on the film and stills we’ve already seen. Before you question why I have no footage of my own up, as you have in the past – it’s because I don’t feel a need to prove anything to you or anyone else. I value the opinions of the teachers, clinicians, judges and friends I ride in front of. I’m not peddling a “method” or “philosophy” other than good riding and training.

Wait a minute – there is film?
There was a film which was less than critically acclaimed and therefore removed.
There’s a plug for his bitless bridle here at 2:26. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sTK7syzIwqM
Thank you for the link. It was wonderful to watch
I am brand new to dressage, but why is their mouth foaming?
