I just had to share this with you after it was posted on another forum: Andreas Helgstrand at WEG 2006 in the Freestyle Final. Grab a cup of tea, sit down and enjoy

Oh damn, I can't watch this at work, will have to save it till I get home. My friend does Elementary freestyle tests and I go and groom for her and fight back the tears just watching her!!!

She is trying to get me to do one on my boy - novice probably but just not sure what music to use. Her OH suggested Kiss Kiss by Holly Valance.

I've managed a Piaffe (according to my instructor) before - it was when we'd just started walk to canter and Pasha used to get so excited he used to collect and bounce up and down on the spot like Tigger! Then when I asked for trot he did Piaffe! I was dead chuffed but haven't managed it since

Hi Pasha not into dressage but that was fab.

Have emailed it to my instructor who is helping school Tara for me at the moment and suggested perhaps they could do something similar next tuesday lol

Might also take tele down to the stables to show Ghost and Tara so they know what is expected of them

Oh you should definately give it a go Baymops - I'm goign to do the Riding Club Freestyle to Music at next years Area Qualifier (we were just to late sorting ourselves out this year)

In Novice all you have to do is Medium Trot (not canter)- everything else you include is pretty basic stuff i.e. 20 and 15 metre circles.

You actually get marked down if yuo put more fancy stuff in - it has to be Novice moves

That is absoloutly AMAZING!!! The mare looked like she was having the time of her life - and it was lovely to see the rider giving her a great big hug for her efforts at the end. I'm doing some serious blinking to not show myself up in the middle of the office!

Think that horse sold for an absolute fortune after that test, but I think the chap still has the ride on her. They make a super partnership!

I just watched it with no sound - none on the work computer - and I was very distracted by the mare's tail swiching. She didn't seem to enjoy the collected work very much.

Please do would love to see pics or even a video?

I tend to hear songs when i'm driving along in the car that just make me think of trotting/cantering etc.... like Eye of the Tiger - really makes me want to get on Pasha and trot!

Also make sure you pick somethign that you love listening too as otherwise you'll be sick to death of it from practising by the time you come to do your test

Good luck

That was wonderful!

(made me feel quite good as I'm sure my instructor would say the same to him as she says to me.........."look up, not at his ears!")

That was so wonderful to watch - as you say, the mare really got into the whole event and his hug at the end was tremendous

Wonderful
