    Something I admire is what she said from 4:50 to 4:55 " The most important thing in sport is you do what you want to do and like to do and thats your passion " Anky van Grunsven

    I absolutely love you Anky. You are such an outstanding Dressage rider. Sali and Boni are my favorites. I so loved your musicle free style on Sali( when part of it during the canter half pass you sang a small part) that was so pretty.

    She built her career on the suffering of her horses. She was the one to make Rollkur popular and did tremendous harm to millions of horses by doing so. This is absolutely unacceptable. I can't believe that judges don't recognize bad riding. Yes, a Rollkurtrained horse has a massive foreleg action, but that shouldn't excuse bad treatment.

    Apart from anything else she is a super rider and hard worker. It helps however when your dad us a horse dealer and you are given a 100.000 guilder costing horse for your eighteenth birthday. That way you can fully develop your talents a touch more easy as a lot of others. But a marvellous combination to watch!!!

      thank you ,for answering my wrong "point of view" -in german some "hackers" or the idiots of "yellow-press releases" written totaly wrong!
      i should took an look at FEI-Ranking.......hopefully i can view her skills at S'hertogenbosch if i can read the start-list of the netherland tournament.....
      chio-Aachen Ms. grunsven or other "nearly zero " misstakes ruiters aren't,or ? Chio rotterdam looks also very fine.....

      I don't know if she will compete the higher competitions atm. She was at a tv station in the Netherlands during the dressage at the olympics and she said she wouldn't compete at the olympics because she hasn't had a new prize winning horse yet. But she hopes to find one soon!

      it doesen't matter, because nederland have had an better talente-plan than germany.........and danjielle heikoop is...she is 2016 at olympic rio
      and an "horse place" like Ms. grunsven had is also an enough "to do"
      +PaardenpraatTV ,Ms. de ruiter, filmed there and she have alot of horses that impress me......
      at #Equitana #Essen 2017 i will take some info's about your Dutch horse fokkerie ( i like hannoveraner the "air" intake look more harmonic ,my opinion) if an gelderländer which i can view it here (not an sport horse) i seen the differents the nose holes have an other geometric shape -funny would i discripe but also gentle and intelligent -not bad at all - valegro run's good in dressage totilas oh ,no further info's.......
      Do the KWPN have some "secret" shooting stars up coming ,like the very popular two horses?

    If any of you don’t know I don’t support Anky as she used the Rolkur method, if you don’t know what that is search it up. Hence the no support to her.

    And she causes her horses pain through rollkur, which is the only way she could ever make it this far. Anybody who uses that method does not have the patience to earn their place honestly, and therefore misunderstands the entire premise of dressage in the first place.
    Repulsive. Digusting.
