Welcome to a new vlog where I bring you guys along to mine and Vossi’s final show of 2024. We head off to a completely different venue for the first time to compete in just one class - the Novice 4 test. We walked away ending 2024 on a new personal best score of 71.87% woohoooo🏆🎉🥳 I hope you enjoy and please don't forget to subscribe xx
Oh what a wonderful, super fantastic test!!!! You and Vossi are fantastic!!! Goosebumps grl watching this. Congratulations. I cannot wait to see you both in 2025. Charlotte you should be proud! You have worked so hard and look at you both go 💕
Agree. Until he is in front he can't ever work correctly and it is criminal really that the judges aren't saying this in all the tests. It does the competitor no favours in the long run as they don't learn what is right!
@ElinorDavis-g7c true. Honestly, what FEI judges are honoring with ridiculous high scores is appalling to me. This is dressage and not walking horses at the Celebration and so many are tight and btv in my opinion. I wish we'd go back to the Reiner Klimke dressage, nose out slightly, total relaxation and "normal fancy".
Try doing leg yields like zig zag to loosen his body. My trainer is having me do them to loosen my PRE up in his body. This will give you more relaxation in the canter work.
Against the hand means he is not working properly over his back with his pill the highest point and will either be above or behind the bit, ie overbent and strong. The cure is to supple and straighten his body and loosen his back and strengthen his hind leg and forget the "shape"his head and neck are in. When he is correct you will feel a soft equal forward weight like an apple in a cattier bag as he seeks the bit forward and out as his hindleg and back push and elevate him. Lewis Carrier shows the to perfection in his test at lihs last year
The challenge of course is for me to create this in the 5min competition test! I know exactly what you mean, it’s easy to achieve this at home when training. I need to figure what buttons to press and how to solve these problems when they arise in the competition arena whilst thinking about 10,000 other things and where to go. Ultimately it’s all just down to lack of experience. In time we will get it😁
@@RidingwithCharlotte Tell me about it! It is so hard isn't it to produce things in the ring. I can't remember tests at all and focus so much on that I ride like a cabbage in a competition, even if I can produce great work at home!!!! BUT, once you have the right work solid at home then once you are at a competition you can focus on the test and not worry. Easier said than done. I am retraining an ex racehorse at the moment who goes fab at home and a total pickle at the competition!!!!

You’re so kind, thank you so much☺️❤️
He is lovely, but definitely btv quite a bit. So glad judges are pointing it out now!

Thank you, definitely something I’m trying to improve and be more focused on when in the competition arena!

Thank you so much 😀
Well done, all your hard work is starting to pay off. I thought Voss is starting to look uphill and a spring in his paces.
Thank you so much😁

Great point actually, I didn’t manage to do any leg yielding when warming in! Thank you
