  • In case you missed the stick horse performance at our Christmas Party 2009. Here is the whole test - an adaption to the original Totilas freestyle that fascinated the whole dressage world for 2 years. This is a tribute to Moorlands Totilas. When you don't have a horse like that stallion in your barn, this is what you can do to experience what it must feel like to ride a freestyle like Edward Gal and Totilas. This is as much a tribute to the horse as it is to the rider, as well as to Joost Peters, who created this freestyle.

    what's fabulous is watching how hard it is for a mere human, even one who knows the horse's movements so well, to do the same moves! I've heard this is also a fun hobby for kids who don't have real horses.

    I remember riding my stickhorse when I was a little girl. My mother would break everyone my father would buy. My father kept buying them for me. I cried through this whole video because people would laugh at me and now I hear it is a big thing in Sweden.I have worked with horses my whole life and wouldn't change a thing.

    What is the stick's pedigree?

  • @smeeze8979
    @smeeze8979 6 ปีที่แล้ว +13

    i keep thinking that he has really good expression and i catch myself and scream
    *he does need to work on his canter though, he's not sitting back and lifting
    and for his i think second extended canter he really needed to collect, collect, collect *then* explode
    but great flying changes, solid
    see, you couldn't see much difference between him going through the corner where he should have been collecting and to where he was extending, which should have used just as much impulsion as when he was doing his flying changes
    *his flying changes omg, great impulsion
    *hooooh boy what am i dOING

    Lovely, sensitively "ridden" freestyle ;) Hey, anybody brave enough to do that in stiff tall boots WITH a stick between their legs deserves a medal. Especially in that beautiful canter half-pass and the extended trot. Of course, the "free walk on long rein" was the icing on the cake :D Hopefully somebody let him use a hot tub and an ice pack afterwards. I bow to the master. You rock.

    • @christinefury7839
      @christinefury7839 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      And that statement explains why horses were used as a work force in the mines, fields, army, transport etc etc before they invented even stronger machines to do that job. Fact is the German army still used 700,000 horses in 1941because they didn't have enough trucks for their logistics. Oh, and when they ran out of fuel for their trucks and cars during the war... the horses got it even worse.
      Last of all at marathon distance an Olympic runner will still beat a horse. This has been proven. When it comes to training several times beyond their born normal limit human are superior to any other species on Earth.
