Translation of the texts (sorry for my english) :
"There is only one thing that can make a dream impossible, it's the fear of defeat. "
"Everyone think that he knows exactly how we should live."
"Yet at some point of our lives, while our road seemed all mapped out we lose control of our lives."
"This is that precise moment that destiny chooses to resume his duties..."
"... to get us back on the path that we had distanced ..."
" and remind us of our childhood oaths" - กีฬา
Come on people. Stop being afraid. Go bitless. You can achieve heights you never thought possible. Your horsemanship will grow. Your horse's respect for you will strengthen.
beautiful, that's how dressage should always be! no harsh bits, no spurs, no hyperflexion, just trust and communication.
What puzzles me is that this young lady does all the "iron works" when competing in official dressage events - but she is a true advocate of the contrary; love to watch her at this!
Coco Chanelleke yeah, i don't understand why people who can ride their horses perfectly without any tack still ride with bits sometimes, they clearly don't need it so then why use it?
Coco Chanelleke
I wish the competitions were like this. When you dance with a human you don't control them. It should be the same with horses. T.T
Coco Chanelleke
Using a bit and spurs does not have to be harsh - when used correctly they are tools for communication, not control. So using them when she rides in recognized shows does not mean she's not adhering to her beliefs, it just means she knows how to use them correctly - as communication tools. I've often heard said that if you let go of the reins and your horse can not naturally stay in a state of collection, then get out of the show ring and back to training so your horse can gain the strength needed to use his body correctly without you forcing him into position.
*****
Metal in the mouth and the sides of a horse stems from post-modern warfare. It is not necessary anymore, as horses are no longer used in warfare.
And the Olympic Gold Medal goes to... Mistral!
This is SUCH better horsemanship than we are subjected to from FEI.
If you brought your horse to that level without whip, bit, or spur, you have my undying respect Alizee.
I love that this horse does not look te least bit stressed. A beautiful partnership...
Shelly -- did you get that verbiage from a book? I breed and sell dressage horses (and to some upper level riders) so I am very familiar with how a dressage horse is trained. First of all, the woman in the video competes in dressage ( I believe in GP) on this horse using the standard tack: saddle, bridle, bit. The horse (who IS lovely and beautifully trained...with a bit) is familiar with all the movement and at this point in his training he is taking most of his cues from the seat & leg. To perform these movements does require self-carriage & engagement, but that has to be taught. And to TEACH these things requires (among other things) a precision that would be impossible to do with just a neck rope. ALL bridleless work in any discipline is taught using a bit first, then once the horse is solid responding to just leg/seat aids, they can transition to a neck rope. This is stunningly beautiful work and very impressive, but people need to understand a bit was involved in the training...as someone else commented, a bit does not need to be harsh or cruel. Like any tool, it is only as good as the hand that wields it.
This actually made me so happy that I cried. I'm supporting Uta Gräf already for her way to ride and train Grand Prix horses but this is just beautiful. Poor creatures trained with hyperflexion. This horse here looks happier than any other professional dressage horse I've ever seen. Great rider, wish I could ride like that... Amazing communication. Thank you for sharing...
Beautiful!!! A true inspiration to all riders.
The quotes:
"yet at some point of our lives, while our road seemed all mapped out we lose control of our lives
this is that precise moment that destiny chooses to resume his duties
to get us back on the path that we had distanced
and remind us of our childhood oaths"
Wahou, je n'ai pas de mots. Alizée est vraiment une cavalière extraordinaire et le couple qu'elle forme avec Mistral est majestueux. Continuez comme ca
Genau so! Genau so ist meine Vorstellung von "perfektem" Reiten. So reiten zu können, dass ich mein Pferd so sensibilisiert und mein Sitz so unabhängig von der Hand ist, dass ich eine Grand Prix Aufgabe durchreiten kann, allein mithilfe meines Sitzes, und minimalster Hilfengebung durch einen Halsring, das ist das Bild das ich im Kopf habe wenn ich an "perfektes" Reiten denke! Genau dieses Bild habe ich im Kopf wenn ich trainiere..so und nicht anders! Danke für dieses Video, diese Motivation und Inspiration!
Just beautiful. I hope many dressage riders see this. This is horsemanship at its best and possible for any rider and horse. Horses are keen to learn they just need to be understood and guided with love, patience and understanding. There is no brutality in this demonstration, no nasty bits, whips, spurs. The perfect dressage, natural and free. Wonderful.
I´m speechless!!!
I think this is the most amazing briddleless ride I´ve ever seen :)
What a perfect movement!
You two are an amazing team!!!
Of course I subsribed, in my opinion you deserve thousands more subscribers :)
Merci.
...j'ai pas des autres mots...
...seulement...
MERCI... c'est la perfection!!
Alizée, un grand compliment de l´Espagne. C´est la meilleure actuation sans bride que j´ai vu. Si je montais encore, je monterais comme ça. Juste pour le plaisir, sans tensions, sans compétitions. Mais mon cheval de dressage Veterano est mort il y a un an, donc je ne monterai plus jamais.
Alors pour ceux qui ne savent pas: il faut entrainer un cheval minimum pendant 5-7 ans pour arriver à ce que Alizée fait avez Mistral dans ce video.
This is AMAZING! it goes to show that you don't need a harsh bit and hype reflexion to do this. This is truly incredible. This blew my mind. Such a talented horse and rider 😍
+Snow Angel Studios One does not need any kind of bit.
sonseere10 that is also true
WOOOW *.* .. the most beautiful grand prix dressage ivé ever seen!!!!!
This rider has such an amazing seat! A real pleasure to watch :-)
CONFIDENCE and PASSION in this dancing horse! WOW! I am tearing up. Beautiful, just the most beautiful ride.
Quelle beauté... On souhaite un cavalier comme vous à tous les chevaux de dressage! Et à tous les autres aussi.
Wow!....Bravo! Profitez du moment présent, un cheval comme çà c'est le cheval d'une vie!
Just stunning! I wish every "profesional" Dressage rider & all othe cruel horse abuser would see this video. You're the best example for teamwork! Thank you for sharing it with us! Absolutely beautiful & just perfect! :-)
I think what this does is show (yet again) that heavy bridling, bits and saddles that 'wedge' riders onto the horse are not needed to effect high quality dressage. Well done :-)
Loved watching this. Shows it can be done! I hope you go on to inspire others to do the same.
I'm totally impressed. I haven't expected that these taff exercises could be ridden nearly without anything. I like to thank you because I want to do this with my horse. So you have given me a goal :) It's stunning how perfect you and your horse are working together. Your can really say that you two are a real team and maybe the only youtube- dressage rider that have understood how to work with his horse. Because in my opinion it's all about trust and a real good education - Although you are riding high dressage exercises- And I think you have both. Real good work I'm taking my hat off.
Merci Alizee de nous avoir rappeler ce qu'est l'harmonie et de l'avoir fait en portant la bombe. Vous avez enseigné tout ce que l'on doit apprendre et se rappeler. Louise Branchaud
Quand on arrive a un tel niveau de connivence...WAOU just amazing ! Bravo Alizée, bravo Mistral !
What we just watched here is the definition of beauty. At least for me.
Wow. How lovely to see such connection and such beautiful balance.When dressage people talk about connection, this is what they should be discussing, not how much "weight is in the rein." ; )
Simply stunning .. no bit, no spurs but just the bond and the communication between rider and horse. Thank you for sharing this and thank you for letting us be part of this
C est tres beau...:) c est super de voir encore des personnes qui pratiquent le dressage librement!!
Now that's a partnership!!! So amazing!
Gave me goosebumps. Absolutely incredible!!!
WOOOOOOOOOOOW!!!! ABSOLUTELY STUNNING!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Fantastic... wonderful balance and riding...
absolutely stunning, so touching to watch, the rider has a super position and I could watch this video time and time again !!
Wonderful partnership. Congratulations. Now to convince all those riders who rely on pulling in their horse's head...
This is pure magic. Beautiful. Please keep these amazing videos coming. They are so inspirational!
Absolutely stunning! Gave me such chills to watch!
I have never seen such an amazing Teamwork! ! It is so beautyful and should be an inspiring example for many people who work with animals!!!
that is just stunning...leaves you speechless
Just one word: WOW!!!!! You and your lovely horse have my respect!!
Stunning!! True Classical riding.

This proves that, as riders,we dont need to use equipment to make the horse do anything, and that self-carriage and relaxation are natural for the happy horse-and-rider combination.
Beautiful!!!!! Well done..!!!
Thank you very much.
this is amazing - quite beautiful
Incredible!
breathtaking
Super fantastic!
Wow! This is amazing!!
Tout simplement époustouflant ! Je retrouve complètement ma propre expérience avec mon cheval dans le texte que tu as choisis. J'espère que nous arriverons à un tel niveau un jour.

Wow it's so great👍 that' real dressage
TOTAL communication between the rider and the horse with no restraints so see animals do bond with their human counterparts
+1softkiss Of course they do. But it takes the person to understand how a horse thinks and communicates.
Magnifique....

Inspiring!
