Yea you know one of the world best dressage rider didn't do a good piaffe omg get a life girl !!

[@victorialazareva]

So you think that piaffe was good? What was good about it? What about the horse being very hollow? Look behind the saddle that looks like a fucking swayback horse. I know how these riders train their horses and I don't admire their methods because they are damaging to the horses. FEI forbids LDR and yet almost every fucking upper level rider practices it and no one says a word! Oh and yeah if judges were judging by the rule book these riders wouldn't be one of the best because really they are one of the worst. Sad to see so few real dressage horses in modern dressage, most of them are sad, hollow, leg movers that look like those Tennessee Walking Horses with exaggerated leg movement.

Poor Horse :( He’s hollow, it’s so sad!

Why aren't the horses head positions ever correct and the judges don't care??
