Gorgeous Dressage video- Found A better one!

lilrider · 01-29-2007, 10:17 PM

I just found this video of Anky giving a demonstration... wow!

Gorgeous and I love how well her and her horse perform in tempo with the music. And what a hunka hunka horse she has!

Edit: oooh I found a better one of her

YouTube - ANKY VAN GRUNSVEN - WEG2006 Freestyle Final

YouTube - Anky van Grunsven met KrackC

YouTube - Anky van Grunsven at Spruce Meadows 2006

EDIT: If you don't have anything nice to say... hmmm

this is not a critique either just me sharing a video I found where I am loving how she and her horse are in tempo with the music.

Yes I just love how her horse goes into his hyper flexion in multiple parts of the demo...her piaffe in the beginning was just sad to say the least....the first half passs was interesting...the canter pirouette, well I am sure we also saw what was wrong with that...there are so many things wrong with this ride. Yes she has some lovely rides, but this is not one of them.

and YES I am entitled to my own opinion, this isnt a video of anyone on here and nobody on here is related to her either.

I still thought it was lovely... more the music with it.

If you don't have anything nice to say

Oh and love the sarcasm by the way

I completely agree, wonderful horse, amazing rider, very ordinary ride... 'Nuff said I think!

Agreed it wasn't her best ride, but then again I couldnt imagine how hot Krack C is to ride! He looks like a handful at the best of times. Not something I'd like my bum to be on when he was in a very obvious bad mood.
Gotta give Anky credit for making it look very easy on a very difficult horse. Even if the performance wasn't that good.

That first one is great! Much better than the Spruce Meadows ride... And the music- Wow.

It's riders like Anky that make me want to excel not only at jumping but at Dressage as well. If I can jump well AND do that, I could die happy.
