    wonderful descriptions, which could easily be understood by nonriders. Treating horses as teammates and respecting them while asking more of them and ourselves - a way to learning how to live with humans, too!

    love your lens, plenty of info and great video

    What a wonderful lens! Chalk one up for the "good guys" (and don't we all just need to stick together?) I've got Blue Matinee and Andreas on our "Horse Heroes" page and now I'm off to add your lens as well ~ Kudos! - Jen :o)

    I really like this lense and I also registered with HD, can't wait to really dig in. I love your understanding and outlook.
  • Lancer Apr 30, 2008 @ 8:23 am | delete
    Lovely stuff. It's funny how when I read what you wrote about posture, etc, separating the body into two, it was what I had been doing for years without realizing it. No wonder my classical dressage coach liked me. :)

    Wish I could come and work with you: I see I have so much to learn. :)

    Hi, I didn't know what dressage was untill I check out your lens. I've always had a love of horses, but never had the honor of caring for one. Great Lens.

    Wow, I adored this and have saved it to my favorites,it is truly inspiring in every way.I am very much a newbie to all this squidness and am trying to plow through the tecnical mire. I would be honoured if you would have a peek at my horse lenses, I have several under my writing name ellaben.
  • DutchBlogger Apr 15, 2008 @ 1:18 pm | delete
    Yes, very useful ;) What a great Dressage lens! Definitely worth 5 stars. I didn't know much about it, so thanks for sharing. All I did know was that 'our own' Dutch Anke is...pretty darn good at it :)

    Now, if you also would like to find out how to easily strengthen your grip and having fun at the same time, please visit my PowerBall Gyroscope lens...It might come in 'handy' ;)

    Thanks for letting us know the proper way to remove a saddle. I wasn't aware that horses were so sensitive to bruising. Blessed by a Squid Angel today.

    fascinating story - often watch dressage on tv and wondered how they managed to control the horse so accurately
  • happy-jack Mar 25, 2008 @ 2:30 pm | delete
    Another lens that can only
    receive five stars when
    it should have seven or eight, thats live. People just love horses and you make a path that brings them closer to that wonderful creature. Thank you for such great work and keep writting.

    Congrats on LOTD. I too had a horse and studied dressage. I never did master horsemanship, probably started to late in life (40's). I do have a love of horses though and so does my grandaughter. Anyway nice job on the lens.

    So much of what we read and are being taught is for the sake of the rider not the horse, you truly care and love these creatures and want the best for them. 5 stars for you, if I could give more I would. Thank you and may you and your partner have many many wonderful moments

    Hans Gunter Winkler and his GRAND mare Halla! They are legendary: 1956 Olympics, during the first round he tears a ligament in his thigh, Halla fully realizes her rider has a problem and finishes the course on her own going clear. Through excruciating pain, he can't help her AT ALL on the second round, she wholly takes the matter in her own hooves and clinches both the Individual and Team Gold for Germany! - so glad you enjoyed this lens :)
  • chefkeem Mar 13, 2008 @ 10:36 pm | delete
    I didn't think i would enjoy dressage so much. Growing up in Germany (during Hans-Guenther Winkler's days), I was exposed to this type of competition all the time on TV, but I preferred watching soccer. Your video and your content really present the beauty of your sport. Thank you. 5*s

I used to have a pony and we had some wonderful times together...Good point on the untacking, when I first started riding, my dad taught me about loosening the girth and lots of cool down time too. 5 stars to you and adding to my faves :)
