My endless list of favourite horses: <i><b> Rafalca. </i></b> [Ridden by Jan Ebeling.]
Rafalca, ridden by Jan Ebeling. (X)
My favourite dressage mare.
Why have I never noticed how perfect Rafalca is before?
what you guys think of this video? the changes look obviously very rhytmical and effortless, the piaffe looks well under itself with the nose before the vertical... i quite like it but maybe i'm missing something. the walk was a bit tense obviously but this horse looks lovely and sensitive to the aids.
interesting that in the piaffe, the horse accidentally goes into a semi levade. will post the screenshot next.
edit- actually it is slightly more tense than i thought, looks like the horse is shying at stuff and/or very sensitive to the aids so breaking rhythm everytime the rider's legs move in the slightest bit she's losing rhythm. buuut i like it and with improvement they could be fantastic. i also like that the canter pirouettes aren't grounded, they're light and the feet are actually leaving the ground not spinning haha.
Clinics in BC 2014/2015
For those interested, George Morris and Jan Ebeling will be clinicians at the Mane Event in Chilliwack 2014, and Charlotte Dujardin in coming to BC in 2015!
They are looking for riders for the George Morris and Jan Ebeling clinics!! And I've already inquired about riding in the Charlotte clinic (I would kill to get to ride in the Charlotte clinic).
