Love it! Thanks for sharing! I think it is notable that it was only about 1st to 2nd level. You don't have to be trained to a very high level to be amazing, just do what you do really well.

Totally agree!! Honestly - I think it's why I enjoyed it so much with horses moving so free and natural. Beautiful horses and lovely riding! Well Done!

That's Muenster, the city I live in! It's a team from the "Bauern Olympiade", now called the "K&K Cup". It takes place every year in Muenster. The big riding clubs from the area pick teams and compete against each other. It's always big fun and almost imossible to get tickets.

It's true, this was an "A-level" ride (that's closer to training than to 1st level, it's the second lowest level there is in Germany). The whole event is A level dressage and jumping, but the riders/horses never are. The team got 10s from all judges for that ride and their club won the event.

That right there is why I am hopelessly addicted to dressage

The whole event is A level dressage and jumping, but the riders/horses never are. .

And THAT is the secret. Upper level horses, with amazing suspension and fluidity/suppleness, ridden by accomplished riders (great that they go in a snaffle).

Lovely to watch.

Yes! I agree with both of you. Now I'm going to watch it again!

Thanks also AmityB for the inside information.

OK, but they are NOT TL-1st level horses!

And it's in the smaller arena. Lovely to watch.
