Maybe the dressage types are loosening up a bit.Rising Rainbowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04239592070775412669noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6550515326326288148.post-56775738619959983122010-09-30T12:01:33.427-06:002010-09-30T12:01:33.427-06:00I've actually noticed that while its not commo...I've actually noticed that while its not common its also not unusual for the dressage horses to kinda "spook" as they ride to the exit. Maybe they were just so mentally wrapped up in their jobs that they startle themselves?<br /><br />As for the crowd cheering during the performance, I guess we Western types are just a little too rowdy for the English lolcdncowgirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09055181472294995601noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6550515326326288148.post-59418966705889928752010-09-30T00:04:47.346-06:002010-09-30T00:04:47.346-06:00Yeah, I don't understand the having to be sile...Yeah, I don't understand the having to be silent thing. I guess I am so used to Arab shows, where in the English classes (saddleseat) the crowd goes absolutely crazy!! There is so much whooping and hollering to get those horses pumped up! They trot bigger the louder it gets! <br />I love dressage, it is amazing, but give me some loud, screaming, cheering fans any day!!Paint Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05095673661149903754noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6550515326326288148.post-73347971253896376122010-09-29T12:07:06.062-06:002010-09-29T12:07:06.062-06:00LOL (btw, that lol sounded more like BWAhaha!) Giv...LOL (btw, that lol sounded more like BWAhaha!) Give me a break! Your horse is competing at what level? And it cant handle a little cheering?! It is called hauling and seasoning your horse! So if you know you are competing for a medal in a stadium full of people maybe you should haul your horse out to place where they can get seasoned to different environments! <br /><br />Oh... and not to pick on you horsemom but if they wanted to be true to miliary riding then should the horse not be able to handle a canon going off and a thousand angry screaming barbarians rushing the field? The idea behind these horses it to show absolute control... not absolute control ONLY when the environment is ideal.Chelsihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05045101705493626989noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6550515326326288148.post-79852646479302904722010-09-29T09:46:54.282-06:002010-09-29T09:46:54.282-06:00This comment has been removed by the author.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6550515326326288148.post-81818418382299066982010-09-29T09:18:44.397-06:002010-09-29T09:18:44.397-06:00Sorry, not his pirouette, the cheering caused Rave...Sorry, not his pirouette, the cheering caused Ravel to break and lose composure when he came out of the 2-stride lead changes to bend around the corner.

The poor reiners left the ring wondering why everyone was so silent.BrownEyed Cowgirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03610547057139295854noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6550515326326288148.post-63336083326856320032010-09-29T09:05:28.546-06:002010-09-29T09:05:28.546-06:00No cheering?!

I admire dressage, but every rider I've ever met was a bit snooty. They probably think I'm a bit redneck :)Mikeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03574914465998507310noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6550515326326288148.post-74886211428112714642010-09-29T08:44:29.776-06:002010-09-29T08:44:29.776-06:00Loved it thanks for sharing!Loved it thanks for sharing!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00029307154132762913noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6550515326326288148.post-62327996216581886192010-09-29T08:32:17.950-06:002010-09-29T08:32:17.950-06:00Why not cheer? the horse and rider earned it , but...Why not cheer? the horse and rider earned it , but I guess I am to much of a bumpkin!Lovely rideSherry Sikstromhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15739108723318002627noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6550515326326288148.post-30370702666720477792010-09-29T07:37:22.278-06:002010-09-29T07:37:22.278-06:00You mean the canter pirouettes?

Kudos to Steffen, beautifully done!<br /><br />And yes, dressage crowds are generally <b>way</b> too quiet.<br />I remember the Christilot clinic I audited, she encouraged all of us spectating to clap and cheer, to get the horses used to noises and appreciation!<br />It's good for dressage horses, to hear applause and encouragement!<br />I have a question re: the reining classes, but I should get t'a work.<br />Catch up with ya later..GoLightlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18283690734019490983noreply@blogger.com
