I don't know if he ever met any of these mares personally. Maybe before his career. But artificial insemination means A. You can split up one "load" multiple times (and stud fee for Totilas (today) is 4000€, used to be 8000€) and B. less risk of injury.
Horses can get hurt doing anything, Dressage is probably one of the most natural equestrian sports out there. Think about what a horse does when he/she runs around in a pasture and gets super excited. They round their neck, prance, spin around, gallop and then slows down. Those are all moves in Dressage, they just have to learn to do it on command. And Dressage riders can sit just about anything. They have the most control over their bodies then normal riders. They just make it look easy.
Eine schöne Rente für ein Pferd ist auf Wiesen stehen und vllt noch mit seinen Besitzern spazieren zu gehen etc... Er könnte noch locker bis 22 im Sport laufen , ohne diese Scheiß Rollkur... Ich würde alles dafür tun, um Totilas zu kaufen und ihm ein schönes Leben zu ermöglichen , d.h. Wiesen , Spaziergänge etc... Aber immerhin besser als die Rollkur...
To all those that say that this horse is being tortured, you're wrong. Totillas was bred to do dressage and the breed excels in dressage or other desired activities. If the horse wasn't having a good time, his owners or caregivers won't let him do dressage. In simple, this horse is just doing what he was born/bred to do.
Wouldn't surprise me. In the Equestrian world, Dressage is the highest demand sport. It's all about 100% perfection, one foot wrong your mark is damaged. So people are cruel to get the results they want. It's a beautiful, yet sometimes cruel, performance.
R.I.P. to one of the best Dressage horses to ever life. Totilas died in the evening of Monday the 14th December 2020. He was before he passed in a surgery treating a colic. According to the owners he woke up from the surgery and stood up but passed away not long after doing so. With 20 years he was way to young to die and the world of Dressage will from now on miss one of it's most beloved horses. There is one more star in the sky tonight.
Er ist ein wahnsinnig tolles Pferd , auf jeden Fall, aber wieso darf er nicht normal leben? Er könnte noch locker bis 22 im Sport laufen, aber nein ohne Rollkur geht natürlich NICHTS. Die Besitzer und Reiter könnte ich echt... Ich sage es besser nicht. Ich würde ihn so gerne kaufen , ich würde ihn auf die Weide stellen und andere tolle Sachen , wie z.B. Spaziergänge, ermöglichen. Ich hasse den Satz "Ja , mein Pferd darf nicht auf die Weide, es könnte sich verletzen". Aber ich meine , ist ja klar dass im Stall ALLES sicher ist. Totilas ist ein tolles Pferd , aber trotzdem verdient er dieses Leben nicht. Kein Tier verdient das.
Der Besitzer? Du meinst der schreckliche Schockemöhle? Der orginalen Besitzer wohnt hier im Dorf, er hat Totilas verkauft nach Deutschland. Denn wusste ich genaue, das er die Ende von Totilas. Has du schon mal gesehen wie Schockemöhle sein Deister 'versorgt' hat? Das war schrecklich.
Such a great horse. It's a pity that he's never been ridden by a person who really knows about classical dressage and doesn't use this LDR / Hyperflexion - shit. It really is a pity.
It is such a shame he is such an amazing horse and him and Edward were a team that we will never see again. He doesn't deserve to be treated the way he is being treated by Shockemoehle
You cannot actually be serious. I've been riding long enough to know if a horse doesn't want you on it, you'll be bucked off and possibly trampled if it's mad enough. the horse is fine and well cared for. you remind me of the ignorant Peta protesters
Taylor Shae I´m not an ignorant Peta protester -.-" And this horse isn´t a horse with much fun on the field, but a horse with about 20 hours a day in his box and there is always a lead rope if he´s allowed to get out on fields. He can´t feel like a horse, because he was born to earn money for his owners. Sure, there are horses which have a worse life but that´s no excuse to ride a horse with rollkur or something like that. I don´t say his owner doesn´t care for him but I don´t think that a horse should have such a life. Fortunately his career is ended. I HOPE he may live like a horse now...! -I´m sorry for grammatical mistakes. English isn´t my motherlanguage-
Totilas ist zwar nicht wirklich freundlich geritten worden... Aber er ist einfach so schön und anmutig da vergessen die Leute das es eigentlich eine qual ist 😞
~TherainSouls~ there head is like that because they are fully listening to every movement the rider is doing you have probably never ridden a really good horse that listens correctly I have ridden every week since I was 3 years old
I really don't understand what's wrong with a human and a horse being a team and performing for the crowd its talent its beautiful they're putting Gods gift to great use 😜
Even though Edward rode him in Rollkur, he was the only one that was able to bring out the best in him. And who ever understands dressage or even just horseriding can clearly see that Totilas enjoyed working. If he was being hurt or somehow stressed Edward would surely know it and stop. This horse will never be the same. No one can ride him like Edward did.
Ahahaha Did you know that Edward has been accused of ill-treatment twice? And do you know that Totilas was withdrawn because it was reduced to crap? Read some news articles please. I'm just sorry that they all went unpunished!
Armer tortilas er hatte echt ein schreckliches leben kaum weide weil er sich ja verletzten könnte und bla bla also steht er fast 24 Stunden in der Box und kommt nur zum Training oder zum grasen unter Aufsicht raus mehr nicht auch wenn tortilas am Ende am langen zügel gehen darf reitet der Reiter ihn trotzdem die ganze Prüfung mit rollkur
Lexx Bartzke Ja und dein Hirn is wahrscheinlich auch schon tot. Das IST TIERQUÄLEREI! Jeder der das nicht so sieht, sollte schauen ob er überhaupt was von Pferden versteht!
Totilas is obviously enjoying his job and besides, when used properly, rollkur is humane and not abusive. It is only abusive when used by riders who don't know how to use it properly and/or the horse is not physically or mentally ready for it.
+Horsehappy710 Actually, I've done dozens of hours of research on Rolkur. I've talked to many DVMs and trainers and I've studied the anatomical affect of Rolkur on horses. The Rolkur technique is okay to use if kept in moderation and if used properly.
Anybody who has ever seen a single kur from Totilas from his time with Edward Gal, knows that this horses LOVES his work. When he is done with the kur you can see him looking at the audience, his head proud up in the air as if saying: "Did you see me, wasn't I amazing?" The rollkur is a way of training, it makes him look more beautiful, gives him the ability to moves his feet better, gives Edward the ability to sit better en most of all does not hurt him. Dressage is not unnatural, people owning the horses in the first place is unnatural. When Totilas was hurt and couldn't work for a couple of months, while being in Germany, of course, he changed into a bored annoyed horse. So stop commenting on how bad this is when you know nothing about the right way to do it, like Sjef Janssen does.
I'm sick and tired of seeing all these all Throughbreds and Warmbloods in Hunter jumper and dressage. QUARTER HORSES CAN DO THIS TOO! Probably better than This horse can. Let's open our eyes to what quarter horses can do. I mean come on people! U search "quarter horse jumper" on Google and u get a freaking Apendex Crap. How about we give purebred QH's a chance for once?
JumpLikeCrazy It had to be said. There are sooooo many people that think QH are ugly and unbalanced. Like do you know what a balanced horse looks like. As my Foundation QH rule book says "The Greatest Horse To Ever Look Through A Bridle." QH are AMAZING they can do ANYTHING. Thats how PERFECTLY balanced they are! I love the way you worded your comment!
Quarters can do this at my barn quarters can do this. They do jumping 2. I own 2 quarters and I jump them. A quarter probably isn't as good as Totilist. Quarters can do English and western so it doesn't really matter
I think there are required breeds for this sport. If not... (Thinks of a pony or Clydesdale) hmm.... The thing is that they aren't very popular in these sports, because the quarter horse wasn't specifically bred for this. And they don't have to be purebred by the way xD but I think if your horse isn't a purebred then there are specific things it has to be...I'm not to sure about that. But no one said quarter horses can't do this too xD
This horse is remarkable and the rider has a great seat...yet I find myself agreeing that the horse does not look comfortable or happy. I have just discovered the horsemanship of Alexander Nevzorov and there is no comparison. Dressage is a forced art; Nevzorov's techniques are about union with the horse, not pain.
Ich finde es einfach nicht mehr schön, ich finde Dressur ist das Pferd zu gymmastizieren und mit ihm zu harmonieren und nicht Ballet zu tanzen. Ich finde diese Extreme einfach nicht gut. Manche sagen, dem Pferd geht es prima, andere sagen das ist Tierquälerei. Ich bin einfach der meinung, dass das überhaupt nichts natürliches mehr hat und das ist nicht schön.
unnatürlich... nein. Jegliche Dressur Figuren wurden bei den Hengsten in freier Wilbahn "abgeschaut"und teils leicht verändert. Die Art das Pferd die Übungen machen zu lassen ist falsch (bei Totilas sowieso (zu hartes Training und zu harte Mittel )) an der Kompetenz des Reiters Ansich beim Reiten selbst würde ich jetzt nicht zweifeln, da er schon einr ruhige Hand, tiefen Sitz und generell gute Führung hat. Das wäre jetzt meine Meinung dazu
Horse Sisters ja schon und das weiß ich ja auch. Ich habe ja nur behauptet dass ich diese extreme nicht leiden kann und diese dann eben nicht mehr natürlich finde.
+Alicia gdovka Sure, if riders are too incompetent to do it differently. This horse has pinned ears and a very active tail the whole time...clear signs of NEGATIVE feelings. If this is how is suppose to be, then dressage is a very sick kind of sport.
+Chantal Prins But the TW-horses and dressage-horses have constant pinned ears...so, why is there this similarity, if it´s so different? Can you explain the pinned ears with a valid argument?
Das ist keine richtige Dressur In diesen Klassen zählt es nur noch die Hufe möglichst hoch und den kopf möglichst eng zu halten. Wenn man vernünftig Dressur reitet ist es nicht schlimm. Bangtan Fighting Army Fighting
+Taekookeh ich reite englisch und arbeite auch mit meinem Pferd zusammen und frei... Kommt nicht auf den Reitstil an, sondern WIE man ihn reitet... Man kann Western auch scheiße reiten..
+Leoni Schnell natürlich arbeitet man bei englisch reiten auch mit dem Pferd zusammen, aber ich finde Western reiten...da kommt's unglaublich auf deine Ruhe an, da spielen die Zügel (nicht so wie beim englisch reiten) eigentlich gar keine Rolle, so gegen Null eigentlich. Und das mag ich daran so, beim englisch reiten kommt's mir immer so vor, dass man sich dem Pferd aufzwingt, weil so viel über die Zügel geht, klar kann man beim Western reiten dem Pferd auch ungerecht werden, aber ich finde, dass das bei weitem seltener vorkommt als beim Englisch reiten, vor allem bei Dressur eben.
+Taekookeh Dann komm in meinen Stall und vergleiche dort die Englischen Reiter mit den Western Leuten ;) Westernreiter mit mega Sporen, die ihre Pferde von Profis reiten lassen, weil sie selbst nichts können... Und ich weiß ja nicht, was du dir so vom englischen Reiten angeschaut hast, aber dass man nur am Zügel reitet ist ja so ein Unsinn! Ich reite weder mit Sperrriemen, noch mit Gerte oder Sporen und schon gar nicht nur mit den Zügeln. Es gibt halt immer die Reiter, die schlecht reiten, egal welcher Reitstil.
Of course he is nervous, I'll be nervous to on a competition-_- The horse feel that the equestrian is nervous, so he will be to. And no, this isn't rollkur at all. Lol
xdemonsx Ist aber so ,er macht die Beine freiwillig so hoch ,denn sowas kann man nicht erzwingen .natürlich sieht es nicht normal aus ,aber so wird gezüchtet .
that isn't right the tie the horses legs together to make them do that kind of movement. that's freaking a abuse. guys don't tell me I'm wrong cuz I know exactly what I'm talking about
Kristen Smiddy You are right Dressage is abuse but you CAN ride Dressage without it being abuse cause i do and my ponys head isnt tucked in like that😁👍🏻
Kristen Smiddy DRESSAGE IN ANY-FORM IS NOT ABUSE YOU MIGHT AS WELL CALL RAINING,CUTTING, BARREL RACING AND SHOW JUMPING IS ABUSE YOU PEOPLE JUST SHOW HOW STUPID YOU ARE AND HOW LITTLE YOU KNOW ABOUT HORSES YOU WANT ABUSE LOOK AT THE TENNESSEE WALKERS AND SADDLE BREEDS NOW THATS ABUSE RIDING , HIGH LEVELS OF TRAINING OR JUST HAVING A PASTURE PET NONE OF THIS IS ABUSE
Exactly! The Grand Prix dressage horses are so strong I can't even imagine! I almost feel bad for Mathias Rath. He is getting such bad criticism and has to live up to the standards of Edward. I can't even begin to imagine how stressing that is.
Ich wünsche mir für Totilas echt das er irgendwann mal wenigstens einmal in seinem ganzen Leben frei ohne Halfter über eine riesige Wiese galoppieren darf.
look at this poor horse! just take a look at the dressage sport and see in which direction it is moving: animal abuse and show! a horse is an animal, it lives, it should be treated with respect and trust! I love dressage, but the old way of dressage, which exists to help and keep up the horse's health, build up trust and a partnership! the dressage was invented for the horse - not the other way around. every single exercise has a specific effect on the horse's body. in the dressage, actually in nearly all horse competitions (jumping, racing, western...) the hose doesn't count as a friend, it has to work. in this video i see an unhappy, stressed and sad horse with a lot of physical problems, tense muscles (especially in the shoulder, trapezius and hyoid bone...), problems in the neck, knees, lumbar vertebral column... people who don't know anything about horse welfare, biomechanics of horses, trust between horse and rider, a communication based on minimal body signals and the history of dressage (old classical dressage) like and praise this abuse. they wan't to see spectacular movements, but they don't want to see that with this way of "riding" (i would call it horse abuse) a horse is physically and psychologically harmed extremely! it makes me so sad and i feel the pain too, even if i look some seconds at such videos, i could cry. these are the reasons why i don't participate or even watch horse competitions. once, when i was a little girl -i had the dream of becoming a perfect dressage rider. now i know the truth about it, and yes i became a horse therapist and rehabilitation trainer, i use the old classical dressage (among other things) to help horses. i realized my dream, but for the horses and not the people! i can tell you, horses which are ridden like in this video and competition horses have the most problems, because they are trained in an unhealthy way. i would never call such a style "dressage", for me it has nothing to do with dressage. i work with horses because for the eyes of the horses and not people, who want to see a spectacular show. i wish that judges, trainers and riders would open their eyes, face it and change the horse sport in a partnership so that it can become a partnership, based in trust and respect, using the dressage exercises in a correct and healthy way.
Naffy Fio Actually I see a horse taking it's work seriously. I work with horses and actually ride a horse who used to be dressage, he's now 20 and acts like a foal.
Charlotte Lamb this horse has no chance to move seriously, this way of riding destroys the horse physically and mentally (as i explained before). it makes me cry. i hope and wish that the equestrian sport will change soon
Have you seen how pampered these horses are? Do you even watch vet calls? Have you looked at documentaries or even seen the stalls they are kept in? The training of the old ways is harsh, but they revised and fixed them. Yes, they used to use straps to pull the head down, but now they use different techniques like a martingale and such.
Emily Spies Why does everyone say that it is not abuse nor are they being forced to a horses ears become pinned back and refuse to move and will buck this horse has a close relationship with the rider trust me from experience if a horse don't want to to do something like this it is not going to do it
AmberDaBest Hardt 😂😂😂😂 of course this horse is forced! It's in a double bridle and Pelham for Christ sake. If it wanted to do it then there would be no need for the double bridle and Spurs now would there? The horse would simply perform the dressage test in a neck rope. This horse is far too over bent at many points in the test, totilas was also known to be trained using rolkur techniques. This horse is being forced, simple as. If that horse wasn't so contained by the bridle then I'm sure it would throw a buck or two, but at the moment it can barely see Infront of it. You can see at the end how the horse stretches it's neck, that's clearly it's preferred way of going, the rider is FORCING the horses head into an over bent position.
Emily Life I wouldn't duh get lost this doesn't concern you I slipped up and was in the wrong video you don't need to tell me that because I never said I would like It i would hate it
Magdalena Schuster l agree.. they should treat horses with love and respect. let's buy the horse together l zustimmen .. sie Pferde mit Liebe und Respekt zu behandeln. wir kaufen das Pferd zusammen
This video is disgusting That poor horse suffered so much... Just watch some of Valergos videos and y'all see how much calmer that horse is! It's a wonder that Totila could even breathe. A horses mouth shouldn't touch its chest. + just imagine how many backpain he had during the shows and trainings. Truly disgusting. Am so glad he finally retired. Edit: btw i love how y'all are saying that he's happy/loves this, great riding, the 'i wish i could ride like this' No u don't Cuz then u're just an abuser like his rider:)
Er war ein tolles Dressurpferd, aber leider wurde er mehr dazu gezwungen, er hätte es noch viel weiter gebracht, hätte man ihn nicht gezwungen und mehr Zeit gegeben 😔😔😔
I could totally see Totilas singing this if horses could talk.
Lol I know right
Lol
totilas looks like he has all the mares
Kiana Robinson oh he does lol
Im sure he does just look at that horse! XD O:
lmao I read up on Totilas’ history and he really did at one point
his foal sold for 39,000
Well I guess they certainly wouldn’t be bitches 🐶
I don't know if he ever met any of these mares personally. Maybe before his career. But artificial insemination means A. You can split up one "load" multiple times (and stud fee for Totilas (today) is 4000€, used to be 8000€) and B. less risk of injury.

Wunderschönes Pferd mit tollen Bewegungen! Aber es ist echt traurig,dass er jetzt so kaputt geritten wird (Rollkur,u.s.w)
Er hat auch ne richtig Lahme hinterhand bi der Piaffe hebt er die Beine kaum
Ja,du hast recht
^^
***** Er wird momentan fast gar nicht mehr geritten^^
Ja momentan -seufz- trozdem armes DIng
he is so graceful! so much power!
Completely agree, true beauty.
Rest In Peace Totilas, you beautiful legend. 💔

Omg I could not help but laugh at the fact that they picked gagnam style

And they don't have to be purebred by the way xD but I think if your horse isn't a purebred then there are specific things it has to be...I'm not to sure about that. But no one said quarter horses can't do this too xD
JumpLikeCrazy yes yes quarters yes omg I love you and i have no clue who you are quarter horses are the bomb
Wat een held die Totilas, eeuwig zonde dat hij uit ons Nederlandse team is, maar die Totilas komt er wel!
The horse doesn't look happy.
I agree.
Indeed. Dressage is a crime. You may be interested in The Horse Revolution by Alexander Nevzorov. Look him up.
That is right. Equestrian competition is evil
This horse is remarkable and the rider has a great seat...yet I find myself agreeing that the horse does not look comfortable or happy. I have just discovered the horsemanship of Alexander Nevzorov and there is no comparison. Dressage is a forced art; Nevzorov's techniques are about union with the horse, not pain.
Indeed. Equestrian Sport and Use of bit is also forced. To truly communicate with the horse, one must not use this and other devices.
wow you did a good job its like the horses where dancing to the song!!
Ich finde es einfach nicht mehr schön, ich finde Dressur ist das Pferd zu gymmastizieren und mit ihm zu harmonieren und nicht Ballet zu tanzen. Ich finde diese Extreme einfach nicht gut. Manche sagen, dem Pferd geht es prima, andere sagen das ist Tierquälerei. Ich bin einfach der meinung, dass das überhaupt nichts natürliches mehr hat und das ist nicht schön.
Ich verstehe das auch nicht. Aber viele schauen einfach weg oder die wissen nicht wie die ganzen Pferde leiden
Und ich hätte den Reiter von totilas, alle Pferde abgennommen. Der sollte nie wider ein Pferd reiten
unnatürlich... nein. Jegliche Dressur Figuren wurden bei den Hengsten in freier Wilbahn "abgeschaut"und teils leicht verändert. Die Art das Pferd die Übungen machen zu lassen ist falsch (bei Totilas sowieso (zu hartes Training und zu harte Mittel )) an der Kompetenz des Reiters Ansich beim Reiten selbst würde ich jetzt nicht zweifeln, da er schon einr ruhige Hand, tiefen Sitz und generell gute Führung hat. Das wäre jetzt meine Meinung dazu
Horse Sisters ja schon und das weiß ich ja auch. Ich habe ja nur behauptet dass ich diese extreme nicht leiden kann und diese dann eben nicht mehr natürlich finde.
So leiden tut totilas nicht ihm geht's prächtig
Beautiful horse An awesome rider
Come on guys really if any of you knew ANYTHING about dressage you'd know they have to keep the riens tight!
For contact ofcourse:)
+Alicia gdovka Sure, if riders are too incompetent to do it differently. This horse has pinned ears and a very active tail the whole time...clear signs of NEGATIVE feelings. If this is how is suppose to be, then dressage is a very sick kind of sport.
Well it isn't, don't know where you got that information from, but a sweeping tail is a sign from stress, concours stress.
Well, I was talking about this dressage video but if you wanna talk about Tennessee Walking... -_- That's something really different.
+Chantal Prins But the TW-horses and dressage-horses have constant pinned ears...so, why is there this similarity, if it´s so different? Can you explain the pinned ears with a valid argument?
THis made me giggle and smile so bad! Love it. Hope I can get my Frie/Walker this good. Doubtful though.
welches Pferd läuft so freiwillig in der Wildnis ....ich finde das einfach nur noch Tierquälerei 😾😔
In der Wildnis sitzt auch kein Reiter drauf
I know enough about rollkur to say I don't like how Totilas is ridden ;)
Beautiful horse.. but he's more beautiful when he is free
He is free now. :)
+Taco & Pernille Naja, er hat nun Bein Probleme und ist Deckhengst, also immernoch leben hinter Gitter.
Armes Pferd : (
mannispatz I don't speak germany ... My point is, I totally know how people rode Tortilas, but he's free now. :)
👍👍 perfekt
what do you mean hes "free"?
Cool video, make more videos about horses
Und das ist der Grund, warum ich Dressur abgrundtief hasse ^^ Bleib da lieber beim Westernreiten.
Das ist keine richtige Dressur
In diesen Klassen zählt es nur noch die Hufe möglichst hoch und den kopf möglichst eng zu halten.
Wenn man vernünftig Dressur reitet ist es nicht schlimm.
Bangtan Fighting
Army Fighting
+Coco Wolf Mag Western reiten trotzdem lieber, is viel freier und man muss enger mit dem Pferd zusammen arbeiten. :D
+Taekookeh ich reite englisch und arbeite auch mit meinem Pferd zusammen und frei... Kommt nicht auf den Reitstil an, sondern WIE man ihn reitet... Man kann Western auch scheiße reiten..
+Leoni Schnell natürlich arbeitet man bei englisch reiten auch mit dem Pferd zusammen, aber ich finde Western reiten...da kommt's unglaublich auf deine Ruhe an, da spielen die Zügel (nicht so wie beim englisch reiten) eigentlich gar keine Rolle, so gegen Null eigentlich. Und das mag ich daran so, beim englisch reiten kommt's mir immer so vor, dass man sich dem Pferd aufzwingt, weil so viel über die Zügel geht, klar kann man beim Western reiten dem Pferd auch ungerecht werden, aber ich finde, dass das bei weitem seltener vorkommt als beim Englisch reiten, vor allem bei Dressur eben.
+Taekookeh Dann komm in meinen Stall und vergleiche dort die Englischen Reiter mit den Western Leuten ;) Westernreiter mit mega Sporen, die ihre Pferde von Profis reiten lassen, weil sie selbst nichts können... Und ich weiß ja nicht, was du dir so vom englischen Reiten angeschaut hast, aber dass man nur am Zügel reitet ist ja so ein Unsinn! Ich reite weder mit Sperrriemen, noch mit Gerte oder Sporen und schon gar nicht nur mit den Zügeln. Es gibt halt immer die Reiter, die schlecht reiten, egal welcher Reitstil.
Классный конь!!!зажигает под гамностайл!!!молодец Тотилас! Ставьте 👍👍👍так круто танцует!!!умница!!!🏇🏇👍👍и всадник молодец!!!
look behind of his life!!! 20 hours in the stable? 4 hour training? do you think that he have beautiful life?!
I dont like how Totilas is ridden,
but good video :)
Please people, See how happy This horse looks, just keep your mouth shut...
Seriously? You know nothing about riding or horses, don't you? Look at the Rollkur or how nervous he is!
Of course he is nervous, I'll be nervous to on a competition-_- The horse feel that the equestrian is nervous, so he will be to. And no, this isn't rollkur at all. Lol
+Chantal Prins cleary u don't know what rollkur is. This is rollkur.
+Chantal Prins no horse holds his head that close to his head.
Head close to his head?
I love this!!
glaube nicht, das er die Beine freiwillig so hebt, es sieht überhaupt nicht mehr normal aus :/
xdemonsx Ist aber so ,er macht die Beine freiwillig so hoch ,denn sowas kann man nicht erzwingen .natürlich sieht es nicht normal aus ,aber so wird gezüchtet .
voll die Tierquäler 😠
i would love to see the looks of the judges if this were being used in a musical gran prix competition...
that isn't right the tie the horses legs together to make them do that kind of movement. that's freaking a abuse. guys don't tell me I'm wrong cuz I know exactly what I'm talking about
Kristen Smiddy You are right Dressage is abuse but you CAN ride Dressage without it being abuse cause i do and my ponys head isnt tucked in like that😁👍🏻
Kristen Smiddy your nutty as a fruitcake
Billie Parker how is she nutty😌?
Billie Parker I have no idea what ur talking about but I'm gonna role with it lol
Kristen Smiddy DRESSAGE IN ANY-FORM IS NOT ABUSE YOU MIGHT AS WELL CALL RAINING,CUTTING, BARREL RACING AND SHOW JUMPING IS ABUSE YOU PEOPLE JUST SHOW HOW STUPID YOU ARE AND HOW LITTLE YOU KNOW ABOUT HORSES YOU WANT ABUSE LOOK AT THE TENNESSEE WALKERS AND SADDLE BREEDS NOW THATS ABUSE RIDING , HIGH LEVELS OF TRAINING OR JUST HAVING A PASTURE PET NONE OF THIS IS ABUSE
Exactly! The Grand Prix dressage horses are so strong I can't even imagine! I almost feel bad for Mathias Rath. He is getting such bad criticism and has to live up to the standards of Edward. I can't even begin to imagine how stressing that is.
Yes the horse is not happy because the bits are hurting his moutch xc
, and you too
If its my idea then its MYNE
And shut up
i dont like voice my opinoinan but I agree about the bit! I never use a bit if I don't have to!!
reanna_equestrain princess03 oh you are super person :D yaya
That is sooooooo cool!!! ❤❤❤
Das ist Tierquälerei
Ich wünsche mir für Totilas echt das er irgendwann mal wenigstens einmal in seinem ganzen Leben frei ohne Halfter über eine riesige Wiese galoppieren darf.
poor horse
pourquoi?
look at this poor horse! just take a look at the dressage sport and see in which direction it is moving: animal abuse and show! a horse is an animal, it lives, it should be treated with respect and trust! I love dressage, but the old way of dressage, which exists to help and keep up the horse's health, build up trust and a partnership! the dressage was invented for the horse - not the other way around. every single exercise has a specific effect on the horse's body. in the dressage, actually in nearly all horse competitions (jumping, racing, western...) the hose doesn't count as a friend, it has to work. in this video i see an unhappy, stressed and sad horse with a lot of physical problems, tense muscles (especially in the shoulder, trapezius and hyoid bone...), problems in the neck, knees, lumbar vertebral column...
people who don't know anything about horse welfare, biomechanics of horses, trust between horse and rider, a communication based on minimal body signals and the history of dressage (old classical dressage) like and praise this abuse. they wan't to see spectacular movements, but they don't want to see that with this way of "riding" (i would call it horse abuse) a horse is physically and psychologically harmed extremely! it makes me so sad and i feel the pain too, even if i look some seconds at such videos, i could cry. these are the reasons why i don't participate or even watch horse competitions. once, when i was a little girl -i had the dream of becoming a perfect dressage rider. now i know the truth about it, and yes i became a horse therapist and rehabilitation trainer, i use the old classical dressage (among other things) to help horses. i realized my dream, but for the horses and not the people! i can tell you, horses which are ridden like in this video and competition horses have the most problems, because they are trained in an unhealthy way. i would never call such a style "dressage", for me it has nothing to do with dressage. i work with horses because for the eyes of the horses and not people, who want to see a spectacular show.
i wish that judges, trainers and riders would open their eyes, face it and change the horse sport in a partnership so that it can become a partnership, based in trust and respect, using the dressage exercises in a correct and healthy way.
Naffy Fio Actually I see a horse taking it's work seriously. I work with horses and actually ride a horse who used to be dressage, he's now 20 and acts like a foal.
Charlotte Lamb this horse has no chance to move seriously, this way of riding destroys the horse physically and mentally (as i explained before). it makes me cry. i hope and wish that the equestrian sport will change soon
Have you seen how pampered these horses are? Do you even watch vet calls? Have you looked at documentaries or even seen the stalls they are kept in? The training of the old ways is harsh, but they revised and fixed them. Yes, they used to use straps to pull the head down, but now they use different techniques like a martingale and such.
I would love to see this gorgeous horse ridden in French Classical Equitation style.
stop horses being forced to do this
Emily Spies Why does everyone say that it is not abuse nor are they being forced to a horses ears become pinned back and refuse to move and will buck this horse has a close relationship with the rider trust me from experience if a horse don't want to to do something like this it is not going to do it
AmberDaBest Hardt 😂😂😂😂 of course this horse is forced! It's in a double bridle and Pelham for Christ sake. If it wanted to do it then there would be no need for the double bridle and Spurs now would there? The horse would simply perform the dressage test in a neck rope. This horse is far too over bent at many points in the test, totilas was also known to be trained using rolkur techniques. This horse is being forced, simple as. If that horse wasn't so contained by the bridle then I'm sure it would throw a buck or two, but at the moment it can barely see Infront of it. You can see at the end how the horse stretches it's neck, that's clearly it's preferred way of going, the rider is FORCING the horses head into an over bent position.
AmberDaBest Hardt how would you feel if you had your head tucked in many hours a day?
Emily Life I wouldn't duh get lost this doesn't concern you I slipped up and was in the wrong video you don't need to tell me that because I never said I would like It i would hate it
AmberDaBest Hardt im so sorry i read your comment wrong i thought you Said that it wasnt abuse, so sorry😬😊
He deserves a bether life then a life of hyperflex
Dieses arme pferd 😢 er wird nirnoch wke eine maschine behandelt wenn ich genug geld hätte würde ich ihn kaufen und auf die weide stellen
Ja da hast du voll kommen recht , er steht nämlich 20 in der Box 1 weiden Gang 1 Stunde später Gang und 2 Stunden training
Oh ja schönes Pferd und alles aber er wird wirklich Nur noch als Sportgerät genommen und diese Quälerei auch noch reiten nennen ist echt lächerlich...
daydream er darf nicht auf die Weide, wegen der Verletzungsgefahr. Er darf nur eine Stunde am Strick grasen..
Magdalena Schuster l agree.. they should treat horses with love and respect. let's buy the horse together
l zustimmen .. sie Pferde mit Liebe und Respekt zu behandeln. wir kaufen das Pferd zusammen
this is a funny. love the horse is he/she yours?
This is amazing!!! :DDDD
you are correct 100% beleive and agree with you!:D
lol the horse is like: "hey look at mee! im dancing!"
awersome ! i like it !
but still, the one bringing out the best in him was doing it through rollkur. personally, i find this sad..
That horse really love dancing lol
Oh yeah it looks fun
Ich hoffe mal das ist Ironie
#Tierqäulerei
Sudarat Tojui
I hope thats Ironie..Totilas is not happy!
lauch
Ja
lovely horse!
awkward moment Totilas does Gangnam Style better that PSY.
sowas möchte ich mit Pauli auch können😀😁🥳🥰😘🤩😍
Dann schau aber das er dabei glücklicher aussieht, als Totilas.
I thought this horses name was “rulkur” because they use it so often in this video. :../
What amazing high action. Beautiful beautiful creature. Poetry in motion.
I love Totilas, but it's sad that they're using rolkur on him :/
Lol that is brilliant!
This video is disgusting
That poor horse suffered so much...
Just watch some of Valergos videos and y'all see how much calmer that horse is!
It's a wonder that Totila could even breathe. A horses mouth shouldn't touch its chest. + just imagine how many backpain he had during the shows and trainings.
Truly disgusting.
Am so glad he finally retired.
Edit: btw i love how y'all are saying that he's happy/loves this, great riding, the 'i wish i could ride like this'
No u don't
Cuz then u're just an abuser like his rider:)
i just relized how awesome dressage is!!!!!!!!!11
great job 10 out of 10 awesome job:
theonwiththehorse ( original clip maker )
Er war ein tolles Dressurpferd, aber leider wurde er mehr dazu gezwungen, er hätte es noch viel weiter gebracht, hätte man ihn nicht gezwungen und mehr Zeit gegeben 😔😔😔
Totilas was bred by Jan K. Schuil and Anna Schuil-Visser in Broeksterwâld in the Netherlands.
The movement fits the beat perfectly
this is amazing
Great video
love this video so much....
how cool is that ?? beautiful horse and rider.
stupid
Totilas does not deserve 958 dislikes
