Dressage is like ballet. It takes years and years hard training. Tears and sweat and pain. Overcoming yourself and extreme difficulties. Then finally after years of hard work you go on stage and it all looks so beautiful, easy and enjoyable like there has never been any effort to achieve this level. The effort however is intense. You give everything to get there. Every tear is worth that high standart and grand beauty.
It takes years of training to get these horses to Grand Prix standard like Valegro....a good rider and a good horse make it look so easy...as with all the great athletes....but it is anything but easy. The horse has to be very strong, but controllable, and the rider has to have a lot of core strength to handle him...Dressage is so beautiful to watch and so amazing what these horses are capable of, and Charlotte Dujardin is superb, one of our best riders.
The extension and rhythm he manages to get and keep throughout the whole test is insane! The level of accuracy and control is that of the top and I don't think we will ever see another pair like them again
i laughed out loud when gemma from love island was genuinely confused that liam didn't know what this was... like girl open your eyes you live in a different world than 99% of the humans on earth LMAO
Saw this today... I have never seen Dressage before.. It made me cry!!! Such beautiful and talented horses... so moving to watch... or is it just me being rather soppy????😬❤
talk about a team sport..wow..that is awesome..this really showcases the beauty and elegancy of the horse. The way the horse and rider communicate is awesome.
Unreal. Seriously unreal. Yet so perfect it's almost boring. Makes me want to watch some people ride Training Level Test 1 on school horses. The rider might sit the trot like a sack of potatoes. The horse might canter at the wrong time, or just trot real fast when he's supposed to canter and have to be kicked into canter. The horse might go at a snail's pace on the free walk on long rein. The horse might hop out of the arena. They might be off of the center line at the end, and the horse probably won't square up when he halts. The judge might mutter to the scribe "moves like a guinea pig." Heard by me when I was a dressage scribe one time. If people try riding a horse then they will realize the kind of achievement this ride by Charlotte Dujardin and Valegro is.
OMG the best laugh I've had - I remember my dressage test when I was 17 and was told my horse needed more discipline, yet his owner (I'm not the owner, just the rider) keeps on spoiling him and letting him do what he wants which is why I failed the test because I couldn't get him under control and doing what I ask him to do. It was kind of hilarious cos he kept on bucking when I asked him to canter and he kept on trotting instead. My trainers found another horse that needed work (owner didn't have time to ride her), she was the most amazing show-jumper I ever rode.
I want to watch dressage in the next Olympics, whenever it may be. It looks fascinating and looks so difficult for the horse to move the legs at different times, especially the crossovers and doing it in place. They're really impressive. I can't see the rider's hand signals most of the time, which also must take a lot of time.
She certainly doesn't do anything near this level. She'd like to I'm sure but it's like the difference between the best singer in Year 11 and a Broadway superstar.
@@penelope.j.010 exactly, there’s so many things you have to pay attentions to. Is my seat correct in the saddle, how am I keeping from bouncing, are my feet correct in the stirrups, are my hands too low/ to high, are my reins short enough, am I keeping a correct bend, am I keeping my horse collected, and that’s not even everything
@@suekaninchen8992 the dressage saddle does help a little bit with internal rotation, but as my trainer says, the saddle shouldn’t make your riding better or worse, you can’t blame anything on your tack
@@hanaghide5550 Well, she couldn't. The sound quality really is poor. The music is difficult to hear. It's a shame as the performance itself is outstanding.
The sound quality on this is terrible other than being able to hear the announcers voices real well. Where can I find a replay of this freestyle where you can clearly hear the music??
It was really amazing at the London Games, looking at the top twenty horses, there were really only about five or six in that top fifteen that looked tense and stressed. The rest all looked comfortable in what they were doing. RIo was not quite as good, but still progress is being made in elite dressage to consider horse welfare.
As in every other sport, there is world-wide competition, so to do this very well as "very well" is define by top human performance, it is as difficult as any other sport if not more. Horse lameness is quite an issue, finding the right horse is another and spending lots of money (often meaning living like a poor person for a large part of your life) a third one.
Valegro did not cost much - it's about the training methods and patience; all the money in the world does not equal talent - ask Charlotte Jorst about her purchase of Akeem Foldager for a rumoured $2 million!!!!!!
difficult or not, sorry i just find this ridiculous. Training a noble animal to dance like a wimp is a disgrace to these beautiful animals who are supposed to be warriors....just my opinion, don't want to offend anyone
Ok? What’s ur point ! Blueberry is still the best horse into the world and horse arnt worriers 😂u obviously don’t know anything about horses if I have a audacity to comment such a thing
Dressage originated for war. Many of these movements were used to build strength to teach horses the airs above ground movements (which you won't see in this type of competition, but you can see if watch the horses at the riding school in venna). The airs above ground movements protected the rider and the horse in battle. They were trained to leap up in the air with a rider on their back and kick their legs out to scatter soldiers on the ground. They were trained to stand and hop on their back legs to protect the rider from swords and to come down on soldiers on the ground. The movements shown in this video are modernized versions of the movements required to build strength in the horse so they can do the airs above ground.
Me : shows this video to my horse asking if he would do it Him: yeah good luck staying on with my retired racehorse man skills When I make him try it : runs off gets the horsey zomies then bucks for 5 mins straight Me : good boy so close
I really want a horse it’s not just like a “I want a white pony” cliche I actually want a proper horse but my mum doesn’t have enough money but I swear on my life I will get the money someday and I will get a horse I’m determined
Hang onto your dream, my parents didn't have the funds either but I never let go of my dream of owning the most beautiful black Dutch Warmblood and now - many, many years later....... I have him!!
Savannah C look at his pricked ears and his quiet tail. That’s is a sign of a relaxed horse. So, no, when well done as this, it does not hurt the horse.
No, in fact dressage was originally meant to help horses with muscle tone and partnership. Of course there are bad and abusive riders out there but the vast majority of riders work together with their horses 😁❤️🐎
This sport is also probably one of the most difficult olympic sports. This woman sat on a horse for the first time when she was 2 years old and she is now 31 years old. It took her 29 years of training to be able to do that. The horse won his first olympic gold medal when he was 10-year- old. He had a rider on his back for the first time when he was 3 or 4 years old. So it took 6 years to teach him all these movements. You can see now why this is an olympic sport as it's technically really difficult.
PauBla obviously it has to be an extremely challenging sport if it's at the olympics. But saying most difficult ? there are events like 42 km marathon , decathlon you know...
It is incredibly difficult to understand unless you actually participate; and even then, trying to master the advanced moves can be incredibly difficult.
This really is amazing... But I don't think this should be an Olympic sport. Its not that different to advanced dog shows or ballet. And yet squash is not an Olympic sport?
If the training of these horses were in public view, would this "sport" be legal? Is training a horse to do dance moves actually training or beating-into-submission a prey animal that is faced with torture or dance moves?
A very happy horse indeed. To maintain a performance on this outstanding level, the horse must love to work for and with its rider. There is absolutely no other way to reach this level. The riders hands were soft and sensitive to his mouth and her legs subtle. A horse which can perform like this must enjoy it. Otherwise NO way. Never ever he could be doing this by force...
Go horse ridng learn to do a show jumping, eventing, barrel racing or even dressage you will fall and if you love it get back up again. Its one off the hardest sports it doesnt look it thought but it is
Archery is a sport but it doesn't require the players to be sweaty and in tracksuits. However, it does require skill and focus as well as patience. Same thing as dressage. You need to develop the skill to train your horse to be as good as possible. That also requires patience because you're training an animal who doesn't speak your language and has no other way of communication. If anything, this may be one of the hardest sports in the Olympics.
I am not watching it. I had a conversation with a friend about the sports that needed to be removed from O.G. soon. I used this video to prove my point. It was successful.
TheGentlemanGR another non rider I'm guessing you find it boring because you don't know anything about it or about horses so why don't you take your 'knowledge' somewhere else ;)
TheGentlemanGR What if I said soccer or relay is boring? I mean, soccer is just a bunch of people running on fake grass trying to get a ball into a net. And relay is just a bunch of people running in a circle, trying to pass a stick to the other person. I mean, nothing unique about it. So why shouldn't these sports be removed from the OG soon as well? See? Your argument is pathetic at best. You say you're not watching the video but news flash, YOU CLICKED THE VIDEO ergo you're watching it.
You say it's the most boring and uninteresting Olympic sport, but here's the thing.... YOU'RE WRONG. Because if it was "boring" then why would people show up and spectate the competition? Why would the Olympic organization include this sport? I find it amusing that you think what you say will actually influence people. Because this is your opinion, therefore there is no statistical evidence that what you're saying is true. Your opinion is just that, an OPINION.

Ballet is actually impressive and artistic. Dressage is a joke kept around so the elderly can get a medal.
you are a joke ,and obviously have no idea of the skill of both horse and rider.
P. Henry Diamond and you are of course the perfect judge having propably done both sports. Right?
no but I do have two eyes, which lets me see the difference between a horse tortured enough to do a fancy prance, and a ballet dancer.
at least the horse doesn't end up with eating disorders and ugly feet.
I'm at least 2 financial classes away from understanding this sport but still very enjoyable to watch.
Its not that difficult to understand. This is just a competition between which wealthy guy spent the most money to train his daughter's horse.
@@scottmattern482 BAHAHAHA
Its basically the rider leading the horse in dancing.
Think rhythmic gymnastics for horses with the rider instructing the horse in the moment about the choreography.

It's a horse foreplay lol
She might even be the best rider in the world.

yeah that's the only reason im here 😭😭
Yea lol

The extension and rhythm he manages to get and keep throughout the whole test is insane! The level of accuracy and control is that of the top and I don't think we will ever see another pair like them again
I counted one step of piaffe. Isn't the minimum still 13?
Horses have to do between 12 and 15 steps of piaffe.
I agree, like all the greatest - only a very few in each generation; well done Charlotte and luckily for us, she is on Team GB!!
@@allancameron114 Everyone else counted the correct minimum 🤣🤣
lol, its funny when people say "this sport is easy". Non - Riders will never understand.
YUP. Cannot agree more.
ThatOneHipsterZebra agree
ThatOneHipsterZebra I know right I ride and I hate when people say that
ThatOneHipsterZebra I don't ride but I really like horses so I kind of get how hard it is
ThatOneHipsterZebra totally agree
I would have thought that the horse should have been mentioned in the title and description. She couldn't win the medal without the horse!

Anyone here trying to figure out what gemma owen does
She certainly doesn't do anything near this level. She'd like to I'm sure but it's like the difference between the best singer in Year 11 and a Broadway superstar.
One of the main goals in dressage is to make it look easy and effortless. But it's a long way to get there.
Riding is simple, but it's not easy ;-)
@Karina Peters a good dressage saddle brings you in a correct riding position, in a big western saddle I always feel like I have too much space :-)
Except it’s not simple. Change your lead. Stay on the correct diagonal. He’s drifting. Piraffe. Passage. Tell me it’s simple.

Literally here because of Gemma on love island 😂
I wish I'd have been able to hear the music. Wonderful dressage though.
You can hear the music
@@hanaghide5550 Well, she couldn't. The sound quality really is poor. The music is difficult to hear. It's a shame as the performance itself is outstanding.
I meant like on youtube you can hear it
It is hard work and patient that makes a good rider great.
such an absolutely amazing team
He looks like he is just floating most of the time😁he’s so pretty 🥰
The synchronicity of the bow - so adorable Valegro.
such swag and elegance
@2:13 if I could get the horse at the farm to do this, everyone would adore me
not into horses, but racing. but this dressage is incredibly beautiful. so masterful control and artistic. communication between the two.
SSOO BEAUTIFUL LITERALLY MAKES ME CRYYY
That horse is gorgeous… I don’t even know or own horses but that horse is beautiful
She makes it look so easy but I know first hand its not both human & horse were amazing x
I can't believe that it's over 😢
It seems like he knows that it's his final dressage... :c
(Sorry for my English I'm from Germany)
The sound quality on this is terrible other than being able to hear the announcers voices real well. Where can I find a replay of this freestyle where you can clearly hear the music??
Quit complaining and just enjoy
So beautiful 😍 I love Valero! He is the best!
*Valegro
A Sight for the Gods, WHAT a performance..!! /I just cry seeing these 2 working together...
That was the m0st amazing ridding i have ever watched
This is the first time I've watched Dressage and all I can say is... IT'S SOOOOOOO CUUUUUTTEEEE 🥺🥺🥺
to think people can really watch olympic dressage and still say "the rider just sits there" is beyond me.

The more I think about it, the weirder dressage gets. "Lets see if we can train a horse to walk in a really weird way."
This is my dream event, I would pay so much money to get my own horse for dressage, cross country, show jumping.
OMG AMAZIINGGGGGGG SOO BEAUTIFUL 111😭😭😭😭😃😃😃😄😄😄🥰🥰

What’s the point of any sport Iain?
Horse training at a very meticulous level
In my opinion I find dressage quite boring to watch but very interesting and a brain tester to ride
What a horse Vallegro!
Extremely limited attendance as indeed were most other sports I hear.
agreed i ride but im still in lessons they just got cancelled because covid 19
Is it just me or is she doing the same test she did in London but with different music
nice
Wonder how she treated allegro.
What a bunch of horseplay! 😉
I ride a horse in dressed GUYS its not easy!
Horse cripwalking
I do jumping
This is my dream...
It's hard to train a horse to act like that
😍
why is the first horses the owner wearing spurs
three horses in the grand prix are valegro lorenzo and arlando lol
