dcro 10,172 Posted November 25, 2018 Author #23 Share Posted November 25, 2018 (edited) What a stage! A LOT of one-handed riding, which is usually an Iberian thing, so I guess not that surprising. It was definitely very different than your usual WC stage. Maria Caetano (likely) achieved the first ever WC podium for ! Also, amazing 7th place for Collins. Wow, what a result for Bermuda, almost 74%. She really went for a high degree of difficulty and it paid off, so very well done. Her music was somehow expectedly a mix of Caribbean tunes.

dcro 10,172 Posted December 18, 2018 Author #25 Share Posted December 18, 2018 (edited) FEI wants to be young and urban too, so yesterday we saw the introduction of short Grand Prix, despite the overwhelming disapproval from, well, everyone. Quote Many dressage fans with the sport close to their heart have been very negative about this test project, especially because vital movements which test the essence of dressage (harmony, relaxation and lightness) have been scratched from the test (halt-rein back, zig zag, difficult pi-pa transitions). As long as the FEI chooses to sacrifice the spine of the sport over "entertainment" (and thereby going against animal welfare), it will rightfully provoke such negative reactions. The FEI and its stakeholder clubs keep many aficionados frothing at the mouth because of their consistent work ethic of behind-closed-door decision taking by a select group of the same people, over and over. Changes are consistently introduced to the riders, press and those involved as surprise decisions. No democratic, open process, no open discussion, no time for digestion and proper reflection whether the project will work or whether it has any flaws. http://www.eurodressage.com/2018/12/18/minderhoud-and-dream-boy-win-pilot-shortened-grand-prix-2018-cdi-w-london Edited December 18, 2018 by dcro #banbestmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
