this is THE MOST AMAZING horse ever she goes so high in her piaffe and passage and you can see the energy she gives her rider she is giving her heart and soul and loving every second best of luck for the future
Denna häst är ett privilegium att få uppleva! Man gråter ösregn! Underbart! Måtte hon leva för alltid o ge många föl!/ This horse is a privillage to see! One cryes like rain! May she live forever and give plenty of foals! Wonderful!
She is having a ball dancing and prancing! To her this is her stage! Beautifully trained and beautifully ridden! Excellent pair! Keep up the astounding shows! Love seeing them here!
I have literally fallen in love with this horse...what i find truely amazing is the fact that you see her at one stage and he is holding her back an that she wants to do more - she is breathtakingnly amazing!I have a dream horse!!
This horse is an angel with invisible wings - the partnership that these two (horse and rider) share is out of this world. Beauty, harmony and expression personnified.
This gorgeous grey mare had to be humanely put down this morning as she broke a leg just below the knee. It is such a tragedy to the dressage world. Matine, may you never be forgotten, and although your career was short, you inspired so many people and changed the way of dressage forever. Rest in Peace xxx
What I LOVE about Matinee is her show presence! The more the crowd is into her the more she responds back. She is one of those few horses you can see that truly enjoys showing off. A true show girl with a rider who has a big heart! I don't normally get choked up on dressage as I am more of an eventing type of girl but like myponiesrule says she sends chills down my spine too! I hope she recovers well and be in the olympics one of these days. She and her rider truly deserves a gold metal!!
What a beautiful mare. I am proud to be a Dane. I can walk less than a mile and visit the Blue Hors farm. Not many can do that and I am proud to be so lucky.
She raised the bar for dressage. What a Queen! Thank you for posting this video for those of us who missed the priviledge of seeing her give a live performance. She gave her all.
my heart goes out to this amazing mare. she gives me goosebumps every time i see her perform. may we only be so lucky to meet this beauty in heaven....
Wow, I didn't realize she was put down until now. After reading the comments here I researched it. I am so sad...she was so young! But man what a gifted horse..although I am not a horse owner myself..I have great appreciation for such talent. *sigh* RIP Sweet girl..
I love horses, but from now on, I love her... and my 2 years nephew too... She's so harmonyous, so elegant, so rhytmic, that I have to look her once, twice and more, 'till I remember I have to work... I would like to know who trained her and if she has that natural fealing -in Mexico we call it "jícamo"- about music... or it all is training... I don't think so... But, well, congratulations, Andreas for that marvelous friend...
i just love this horses expression and movement. she gives so much to her rider. i mant to see this horse do the spanish walk. i think she would do it perfectly. it would be amazing to watch.
she's very young for the level she is at- if her transitions are shakey- just wait a few years- she'll be even more incredible if thats even possible- she's so awesome!
Shes's having fun.....do you even have horses? This is how they look when they play and are having a ball with people or with each other. I love to watch them in this kind of mood:) Horses love to have a job and do what they are good at, he is guiding or cueing her not huring her.
and to anybody who thinks that the mare is being forced into something that she doesn't want to do, think again. If you notice the froth in her mouth, that proves it. The frothing means that she's relaxed and working the bit. She's enjoying what she's doing.
I watch this video and think that the horse looks like she's saying "Yes, this is *fun* and you *adore* me!" The rider is incredible as well, but that mare is definately the star of the show. Never seen a horse look so happy to be doing what it's doing.
By body language you can tell that the horse is actually enjoying herself. A lot of dressage moves are pretty natural! Now, not all horses like dressage, but it's obvious that this one does. When doing dressage you have to make it fun and interesting for the horse, many horses loves dressage because it's something interesting, and allows them to bond with their owner/rider/trainer.
You can dance, you can jive, having the time of your life! oooh see that girl, watch her sing, diggin' the Dancing Queen! Matine was the Dancing Queen, and forever will be :)
@twistedminds14 This performance was spectacular! I think because Blu looks like she is enjoying it so much. I hope that she was but I have to wonder because of that training method. I appreciate so much that you are finding these videos and sharing them with me.
The rider genuinely loves this horse and she responds by giving everything she has. I look forward to watching this partnership for years. She'll only get better and better for him. If only every rider cared for their horses as Andreas does.
This comment just for the audiance-This horse looks like a Star, she is great, she seems to enjoy the act. Now - with this rider it's quite normal. Andreas is one of the best, and I believe, a very good dancer (I can't proof that, I am male and dont dance with males .. hihi). Now, the point, I have seen other vids of Andreas and feel that he is preparing this horse for much more. It must be a challange if you consider the huge body of here. I would like to know Andreas`s opinion about this.
i adore this horse- i love her to peices! she isnt dead, she has been retired due to lameness. i think they are planning to breed from her :) also i do dressage myself, and too anybody who thinks its cruel- YOU ARE WRONG! the whole meaning and point of dressage is to learn to work as one with the horse, show off its natural expression, and work with the horses natural rythem and self carriage. its bloody hard work, but they love it, and the outcome is an amazing feeling :) x x
the swishing of the tail is good thing it has nothing to do with the horses being in pain or not the movement of the tail shows that the muscles are working correctly . and foaming at the mouth is all so a good thing the foam is just excess amount of spit lol
Sasha Bharti No it's not excess foam is because she has annoying metal in her mouth. And any real horseman knows that tail movement is a sign of irritation!
her name is Blue Horse Matine- the owner of the dressage horse i ride knows Blue's rider, Andreas Helgstrand! Blue is a beautiful horse- she came 2nd when just 9 years old at the WEG2006 Freestyle final! i think she has been retired though, i was tol she went lame whilst teaveling somewhere. hopefully they will breed some nice foals out of her :) xxx
sky212, you're great! at least someone not blinded! what you see here & in many other situations people are 'performing' (in what way ever) with horses, is only possible to the greatest defect a horse has: it can't cry! think about it*
I guess Andreas is sad about Matine´s death, but he is no longer BlueHors rider, so he didn´t see her in her last days. Anyway, it´s a big lost for dressage and breed. She was on foal, so sad...
@horsefeathersgirl100 about this time last year i think, she broke or fractured her leg (i don't know the exact details) whilst out in the field and was put down. they were very quiet and didn't much more details than that (or maybe i couldn't find them) but i remember there was a lot of talk about whether she was in foal or not. if she was, thats such a sad loss of a wonderful mare and foal :(
I dont think I have ever seen a dressage horse actually enjoy herself as much as this one is! I took my adopted horse into a dressage ring once and he pinned his ears and backed righ out of it, but he's fine with any other arena lol
this is THE MOST AMAZING horse ever she goes so high in her piaffe and passage and you can see the energy she gives her rider she is giving her heart and soul and loving every second
best of luck for the future
I have tears in my eyes when I see these pictures of the beautiful Matiné - we will miss you ..
rest in Paradise Matine. you were such a beauutfil creature, fully of enthusiasm and life. keep on dancing in heaven xxxx

I absolutely adore this horse, especially because she seems to enjoy it just as much as anyone else - she really gives off a spark about her.
This gorgeous grey mare had to be humanely put down this morning as she broke a leg just below the knee. It is such a tragedy to the dressage world.
Matine, may you never be forgotten, and although your career was short, you inspired so many people and changed the way of dressage forever.
Rest in Peace xxx
i was there and there was not a dry eye in the building ❤️ thank you Matine ❤️
You are simply the best. Rest in peace sweetheart

One of the greatest mares and one of the most moving performances. RIP Matine.
You graced us for a short time with your talent and bueaty . Great loss rest now!!
Im fasinated completely. This horse brings tears to my eyes
Look at the way her knees rise in rhythm with the claps at the start! I am awestruck every time I see her - she was made for dressage.
The audience can literally FEEL it... this mare was incredible.
That horse just thrills me to my marrow. She makes my heart sing and she makes it look so darn easy. Go Blue Hors!!!
Wow, I didn't realize she was put down until now. After reading the comments here I researched it. I am so sad...she was so young! But man what a gifted horse..although I am not a horse owner myself..I have great appreciation for such talent. *sigh* RIP Sweet girl..
I love this horse she always looks so happy!
what a beautiful girl she is so adorable R.I.P the cutest horse ever
Aucun mot ne pourrait décrir ce couple si parfait
úžasnej jezdec i kůň!! U toho koně je vidět, že ho to baví, že si rád vyšlápne, ne jako některý koně na drezurách, co znechuceně ,,šlapou zelí" :)
She was a Dancing Queen...And now she's a Dancing Angel...:'(
What an amazing horse , R.I.P. one of the best dressage horses I have seen!
I love horses, but from now on, I love her... and my 2 years nephew too...

Blue Hors Matine.......R.I.P....the greatest dressage horse i've ever seen!
So very beautiful. I love you 💕🌺🌸💋💕
what a shame this beautiful mare died so tragically!!!! :-) a dressage star taken before her time...
@twistedminds14 This performance was spectacular! I think because Blu looks like she is enjoying it so much. I hope that she was but I have to wonder because of that training method. I appreciate so much that you are finding these videos and sharing them with me.
She's beautiful loving her life
simply the best
So sorry for your loss! My heart goes out to you Andreas.
the worlds best dressage horse and rider without any doubt...
such a beautiful, sweet, and talented horse...r.i.p.
It is SUCH a shame that she has been retired (correct?). She is my favorite dressage horse and in my opinion, the best one in a long time.
The rider genuinely loves this horse and she responds by giving everything she has. I look forward to watching this partnership for years. She'll only get better and better for him. If only every rider cared for their horses as Andreas does.

DRESSUR & HARMONY IN PERFEKTION!!

Show. Simply spectacular!
It doesn't get any better then this, really.
I raise Quarter Horses in Texas and while they are the greatest at what they do..they can't do this. Wonderful
If i couls rid elike Andreas Helgstarnd, i would be the happist person on the earth!
Omg amazing Horse!!!! R.I.P lovely creature!!!!!!!!!!
R.I.P. dancing queen, she's incredible.
SIMPLY BEAUTIFUL X
Ermagherd. Her and Totilas in the same place would have made me just die. I'm so sad she's gone.
Yes simple the best.
amazing, you can tell from her body language that she is having so much fun!
the swishing of the tail is good thing it has nothing to do with the horses being in pain or not the movement of the tail shows that the muscles are working correctly . and foaming at the mouth is all so a good thing the foam is just excess amount of spit lol
Sasha Bharti No it's not excess foam is because she has annoying metal in her mouth. And any real horseman knows that tail movement is a sign of irritation!
Her wagging hertail means she's enjoying what she´s doing!
She's a happy horse, no doubt!
wee, det er jo andreas!
var også med til kåringen sidste år:D
skal også i år:D
nice video!
I love this horse
her name is Blue Horse Matine- the owner of the dressage horse i ride knows Blue's rider, Andreas Helgstrand!
Blue is a beautiful horse- she came 2nd when just 9 years old at the WEG2006 Freestyle final!
i think she has been retired though, i was tol she went lame whilst teaveling somewhere. hopefully they will breed some nice foals out of her :) xxx
sky212, you're great! at least someone not blinded!
what you see here & in many other situations people are 'performing' (in what way ever) with horses, is only possible to the greatest defect a horse has: it can't cry!
think about it*
I like how his tail swings with the music !
I guess Andreas is sad about Matine´s death, but he is no longer BlueHors rider, so he didn´t see her in her last days.
Anyway, it´s a big lost for dressage and breed. She was on foal, so sad...
Really pretty! I enjoyed watching
@horsefeathersgirl100 about this time last year i think, she broke or fractured her leg (i don't know the exact details) whilst out in the field and was put down. they were very quiet and didn't much more details than that (or maybe i couldn't find them) but i remember there was a lot of talk about whether she was in foal or not. if she was, thats such a sad loss of a wonderful mare and foal :(
i just love this match
Fantastisk !
I dont think I have ever seen a dressage horse actually enjoy herself as much as this one is! I took my adopted horse into a dressage ring once and he pinned his ears and backed righ out of it, but he's fine with any other arena lol
What a star :) She loved the crowds and the adulation and she deserved it. lovely horse.
nice human and beautifuL horse..
I wonder if any thought was given to cloning Matinee! She was such a beautiful mare!
Soooo beautiful!
One day i'll do the same. I want it!
SIMPLY THE BEST!
the people are clapping out of time!
Whata pleasure...
her piaffe and passage was beautiful as per usual and andreas rode amazing but some of her trot movements did look a little of?
She definetly loves her job =)
wow, what a horse! really nice video... 5* =)
