Totilas has such beautiful movement, and Edward Gal is such an amazing rider! He just takes my breath away when I see such a team. They're in sync and you can feel the connection! It's utterly breathtaking!
Look at him! He's so elegant! The way he holds his hind end up and the natural frame. The half passes, leg yields, piroette (sp?) and everything else! Amazing!
I love to watch this amazing video, Edward Gal is a inspiration for me. The first time I watch this I was moved to tears, such beauty, partnership, skill. When ever I have a bad day riding my horse I watch this video to inspire me, to reach my goals.
I watch this when I need to be uplifted. I don't think I've ever seen it when I haven't cried - for the sheer beauty of it and the great loss of an absolute treasure. I pray Edward Gal and Totilas will be reunited sometime soon.
got tears in my eyes... it´s such a beautifull dressage and so touching. I´m speachless I only saw Totilas ridden by Matthias. Best dressage I´ve ever seen. When he is moving it´s seems like he is dancing.
i have many friends that believe that this is a piece of cake: "you're just doing the basic transitions with circles and what not"... they have no clue how wrong they are. this is the most gorgeous performance i've ever seen
Poor Totilas, he's a broken horse now... this video shows a happy, hard working horse and rider who have a bond and want to please each other. the Totilas we've seen most recently has been an animal just going through the motions without much care or happiness.
I'm so breathless after this, he is so beautiful. Moorlands Totilas is an so amazing horse, a one in a lifetime, he is flying through it all, like it's nothing. He and Edward Gal are an unbeatable couple.
I'm from Holland., and I have seen him at his stable,, and he seems to be so happy.. he just wanna work for Edward,, he doesnt do it because he had to do it but because he want it.. xx
He's so beautiful, i think that the announcers are right, he does have huge natural ability. That performance, in my opinion, deserves to set the new world record!
Rath will never reach this level with totilas as edward did. Totilas did everything for him gave everything he had because they had a real connection and I think that no matter how many years it takes before they come back again they will still feel the same with each other. Comrades for life.
@Spottedtv He is doing one time changes. To explain that, when a horse is cantering they are leading with either their left or their right foreleg. You can tell which one because it appears to move further forward than the other one. Horses should be leading with their inside foreleg when cantering circles (unless they're doing a counter canter). They can change leading legs by either coming back to trot briefly and picking up canter on the other leg (simple changes) or by doing a little skip t
How can anyone dislike this video? If anyone has ever ridden dressage or even just watched it you have to be impressed with this one. It just does not ever get any better then that, It is impossible. the only one that may ever break the record is Edward and Totilas, but now that is never going to happen. They were a perfect pair. truly amazing to watch and learn from.
totilas and edward belong together, the german guy will never be able to compare to this couple. Edward is good, the horse is outstanding, but the combination of them is simply briljant! very sad to see they have been seperated
This beautiful horse and its rider Edward Gal will never be the same since the horse is sold to Germany. Never again will we see horse and rider so perfect together. I must admit I always have to cry. Why is there nobody in Holland to purchase this horse again and bring it back to Edward Gal. Michèle de Winde/Nieuw Vennep/Holland
Awesome video. I read a lot about how reining horses can do this just as well... post your videos then. Incredible ride. Such fluid movement and seemless transitions. I wish I could do half as well... and had a horse with half the talent... Great job and thanks for this video...
@CallexisNion I Think it's "Emerald Tiger" from Vanessa Mae. The other ones are from "The Symphonic Jean Michel Jarre" and Pirates of the Caribbean 3 OST.
We will never see better - he not only is the perfect looking horse, his performance is wthout match. But what gets me most is his temperament - in front of that huge crowd and after all that adrenaline, Edward Gal drops the reins and they stroll out of the arena - interested in the goings on, but calm, relaxed and happy. OMG !!
Whoops.. Comment was a bit long. Anyway, they do a little skip and swap legs without breaking the canter (flying change). One time changes are when a horse does a flying change with every stride and so appear to be skipping.
DIT is gewoon niet normaal!!!!! kom op! straks krijgt hij nog 100% dit is echt zo prachtig! zelfs in draf is zijn knieacktie tot horizontaal! in alle gangen! zelfs wijken!!!!!! te zat voor woorden!
I used to live only two minutes away from the Schafhof, where he lives now, but then I moved, and a good friend of mine has already seen him, since a good friend of her moms has a horse there. Now THAT I call a big mistake (Too bad that I moved)
@thefather1961 R you going to kentucky thats so cool wish i could go to. I've seen him live onces amazing. Please do watch out for crazy people in orange :P
@sainglain Of course, Gal is an amazing coach for this wonderful Stallion, and so beautiful and elegant. And his beauty is to almost disappear and let the horse be the hero. The harmony was complete. And this is why it hurter so much when Totilas was sold. It sounded like a real betrayal. Gal's relation with Totilas was a fairy tale, this thing that people need. But then holy Money is the thing that counts, not beauty and love. And that's sad.
Not "the dutch". Only his owners, who wanted to cash in €10 million. Everyone else was against it. Germany thought they could buy and use brilliance without putting in any effort themselves. But a horse is not some kind of car. I'll bet Totilas has been thoroughly unhappy ever since they tore him away from the people he knew and loved.
@platypussy79 have you watched him warmup? i was at Hickstead last July and made sure i was present in the warmup arena to take in this magnificent animal. i saw him warm up in the "long and low" outline, which is not like roll kur in that the horse is encouraged to stretch down over his back and become loose. he was not held neck-high in a rollkur position at any point during his warm up or the practise test before entering the arena.
Totilas has such beautiful movement, and Edward Gal is such an amazing rider! He just takes my breath away when I see such a team. They're in sync and you can feel the connection! It's utterly breathtaking!
This is an amazing horse,.. and rider, communication, the best dressage horse I've ever seen.
Breathtaking, stunning performance. This horse is one in a million!
Look at him! He's so elegant! The way he holds his hind end up and the natural frame. The half passes, leg yields, piroette (sp?) and everything else! Amazing!

I got tears in my eyes when I saw this. Amazing horse and an amazing partnership between Edward and Totilas.

This video almost makes me cry. Harmony, elegance and beauty:) Magnificent!
Best horse Ive ever seen.
Absolutely Amazing this makes me cry everytime I see it. No-one else should ride this fabulous horse except Edward Gal :)
really never get tired of watching this test.......toto and gal really were phenomenal
R.I.P Totilas! You where a superstar!
You can just feel the energy coming from Totilas. An amazing show of teamwork between horse and rider that will never be seen again
This moved me to tears. Totilas is amazing.
This performance together with the amazing music brings it so much over the WOW-level! I'm stunned!
i had the privilige to see this for real at olympia - he is an amazing horse!
i have many friends that believe that this is a piece of cake: "you're just doing the basic transitions with circles and what not"... they have no clue how wrong they are. this is the most gorgeous performance i've ever seen
Poor Totilas, he's a broken horse now... this video shows a happy, hard working horse and rider who have a bond and want to please each other. the Totilas we've seen most recently has been an animal just going through the motions without much care or happiness.
Edward gal is a heros; He and Moorlands are perfect :)
They are one. Just wonderfull :D
i have shivers run down my spine whenever i watch this, along with valegro and blue hors matine... they are in my eyes perfection!
So incredible. I hope Edward Gal gets to ride another horse as incredible as Totilas in his lifetime, what an unbelievable rider.
I admit I'm not the most well educated dressage person around, but I recognize skill and greatness and this is it in spades.
never again will we see this beautiful duo together... sad day for Edward and Totilas :'(
I'm so breathless after this, he is so beautiful.
Moorlands Totilas is an so amazing horse, a one in a lifetime, he is flying through it all, like it's nothing. He and Edward Gal are an unbeatable couple.
I'm from Holland., and I have seen him at his stable,, and he seems to be so happy.. he just wanna work for Edward,, he doesnt do it because he had to do it but because he want it..

Stunningly beautiful horse....can easily say this is art in motion. Amazing....
Perfection. Never get tired of seeing this kind of beauty.
He's so beautiful, i think that the announcers are right, he does have huge natural ability. That performance, in my opinion, deserves to set the new world record!
Rath will never reach this level with totilas as edward did.

Edward Gal was the BEST rider on Totilas!
Great!!! Wow!!
We are very proud to have a combination like this in Holland!
Bravo Edward and Totilas!!!!!
this horse is stunning! his movements are beautiful!
32 people are absolutely insane... I'm not even a big dressage person and that performance was I absolutely incredible
it breaks my heart that these two have been broken up - such a unique partnership that no other rider will be able to top :(
de mooiste kür die ik in mijn leven heb gezien!
wat een top cobinatie!!
Edward and Totilas were a dream-team. Now he is here in Germany and I think Mathias Rath will never be as good as Edward with Totilas.
What a Beauty horse and a perfect rider
How can anyone dislike this video? If anyone has ever ridden dressage or even just watched it you have to be impressed with this one. It just does not ever get any better then that, It is impossible. the only one that may ever break the record is Edward and Totilas, but now that is never going to happen.

best horse ever! im from the netherlands myself and im proud to say that :D
totilas and edward belong together, the german guy will never be able to compare to this couple. Edward is good, the horse is outstanding, but the combination of them is simply briljant! very sad to see they have been seperated
I realize I am quite off topic but does anybody know a good website to stream new tv shows online ?
@Joshua Damon Lately I have been using FlixZone. You can find it on google :)
@Joshua Damon I would suggest FlixZone. You can find it by googling =)
Wow....incredible!!
This beautiful horse and its rider Edward Gal will never be the same since the horse is sold to Germany. Never again will we see horse and rider so perfect together. I must admit I always have to cry. Why is there nobody in Holland to purchase this horse again and bring it back to Edward Gal.

Der verbrecher ist es nicht wer auf einen Pferd zu sitzen Der gehört gesperrt er gehört wieder gesperrt der verbrecher
Diese sau schlägt die pferde der gehört gemartert wie er die pferde martert das sind alle geldgierige verbrecher die pferde sind ihnen nicht wichtig
Verbrecher das arme Pferd möchte nicht wissen wie diese dau daspferd gematert hat das es das macht

Such an impressive horse, no wonder he's worth millions!
I actually cant stop watching this
Awesome video. I read a lot about how reining horses can do this just as well... post your videos then. Incredible ride. Such fluid movement and seemless transitions. I wish I could do half as well... and had a horse with half the talent... Great job and thanks for this video...
It's so sad to see Rath with Totilas. Edward Gal and Totilas, they have a very special bond..
a dream just wonderful
Unbelievable! Thank you for the video!!!
Me too! Bold and dramatic music really fits this horse's movement and presence :)
Ohh man dieses Pferd is sooo genial!! davon träumt glaub ich jeder dressurreiter! *__*
Totilas is echt ne Legende!!! Der hammer!!
breathtaking performance
Never change a winning team! Poor Edward poor Totlas....
I like this horse, it's amazing
this is so amazing it makes me want to cry...baaaah
Simply wow!
nooit van mij leven zo'n paard gezien als moorlands totilas wat een talent prachtige gangen een mooi combinatie met ed gall
the video gives me goose bumps!
@CallexisNion
I Think it's "Emerald Tiger" from Vanessa Mae. The other ones are from "The Symphonic Jean Michel Jarre" and Pirates of the Caribbean 3 OST.
Would love to see totilas with Edward vs valegro, grand prix
We will never see better - he not only is the perfect looking horse, his performance is wthout match.
But what gets me most is his temperament - in front of that huge crowd and after all that adrenaline, Edward Gal drops the reins and they stroll out of the arena - interested in the goings on, but calm, relaxed and happy. OMG !!
Magnifique, have to agree with Emms Jones, never should of sold him...horse and rider were just simply amazing
One word-AMAZING
I loved!!!!!! when the horse piaffed at 0:58!
that is amazing !!!!
I have to admit, that I actually tried during this video.Absolutely fantastic.
I still think Edward is absolutely amazing what a hero!
Why am I crying ?
is just exeptionnel !
woww this is amazing!!
This is such a great horse...
I see the owner and his brother often drive around a beautiful horse and cart combination. They love to drive too. VERY beautiful horse.
What a horse!!! Amazing!!!
yes-- that's what comes across- the horse has joy!!!!
If i had bought the horse, and had plenty of money. i would just give it to Edward, because they are perfect togheter!
For me it's enough with the starting working trot and alt. When i'll be able to do something like that, i will speak about the rest.
Whoops.. Comment was a bit long. Anyway, they do a little skip and swap legs without breaking the canter (flying change). One time changes are when a horse does a flying change with every stride and so appear to be skipping.
amazing partnership.
I want this horse... He is sooo beautiful!!!
Oh I remember those lovely days when Piaffe was all about the powerful and correct use of the back and hind legs...
I love the music (:
Such a shame this magic has been lost
i think this is the best dressage combination we will ever see; they should not have sold him on
this is beautiful... :D
DIT is gewoon niet normaal!!!!!
kom op! straks krijgt hij nog 100%
dit is echt zo prachtig!
zelfs in draf is zijn knieacktie tot horizontaal!
in alle gangen! zelfs wijken!!!!!!
te zat voor woorden!
Totilas is PERFECT!
i could watch that over and over... amazing horse
Best Horse in the world
Unbelieveable stud!!!!!
I used to live only two minutes away from the Schafhof, where he lives now, but then I moved, and a good friend of mine has already seen him, since a good friend of her moms has a horse there. Now THAT I call a big mistake (Too bad that I moved)
The perfect couple....!!!!
10:08 of pure beauty. I think I'm going to cry!
@thefather1961 R you going to kentucky thats so cool wish i could go to. I've seen him live onces amazing. Please do watch out for crazy people in orange :P
I am also one that believes mathias rath wont ever be as good and have such a connection with totilas as edward gal has done
@sainglain Of course, Gal is an amazing coach for this wonderful Stallion, and so beautiful and elegant. And his beauty is to almost disappear and let the horse be the hero. The harmony was complete. And this is why it hurter so much when Totilas was sold. It sounded like a real betrayal. Gal's relation with Totilas was a fairy tale, this thing that people need. But then holy Money is the thing that counts, not beauty and love. And that's sad.
Germany somehow killed dressage magic. Also the dutch let this happen. It remains a tragedy to this date.
Not "the dutch". Only his owners, who wanted to cash in €10 million. Everyone else was against it.
Germany thought they could buy and use brilliance without putting in any effort themselves.
But a horse is not some kind of car. I'll bet Totilas has been thoroughly unhappy ever since they tore him away from the people he knew and loved.
So true! The combination of etward and totilas was magical !
it's amazing
@platypussy79 have you watched him warmup? i was at Hickstead last July and made sure i was present in the warmup arena to take in this magnificent animal. i saw him warm up in the "long and low" outline, which is not like roll kur in that the horse is encouraged to stretch down over his back and become loose. he was not held neck-high in a rollkur position at any point during his warm up or the practise test before entering the arena.

stunning :')
