Thank you for posting, Gribaldi, you shall be dearly missed and celebrated through your legacies you have shared with all of us who appreciate the accomplishment. I have a feeling that Totilas is your greatest, but who knows! Much Love for all you have shared with the rest of us mortals, Linda
i chocked up when i saw this - such a sad ending to a brilliant life. you will always be missed but never forgotton! i'm sure he is looking down on Totilas right now :) i love 2.40 - the transition in the chorus or the song as Gribaldi' inafmous WOW trot conbined totaly had my in tears! brillliant stuff xxxx
Best Dressage stallion ever to have stood in the Netherlands, ever. A Trakehner bred in Germany by Marika Werner, by Kostolany out of elite mare Gondola II. Sadly six days after this video he died of a ruptured heart. Who knows if they had let him retire without all this hectic "show" and he travelled by air less in his life he might have lived longer. Gribaldi stamped the Dutch horses with his incredible easy character particularly, refinement and of course his colour.
Yes, I agree with you. I heard many people say that the hectic lifestyle Gribaldi led and in particular this final show with all the lights and sounds (which is not natural) hastened his demise and probably put extra strain on his heart but who knows. We are all privileged to have been able to witness his majesty, beauty and talent.
@@millsixstudios The very heavy use of TB in warmblood breeding means they haven't "stomped" since about the late 1980s. A much rounder leg is in vogue, this you get with that cross, the TB being very stiff and straight in front, the carriage with more knee. Trakehner (TK) has been used in place of or due to the shortage of any decent TBs on occation in various warmblood stud books. The movement has traditionaly been stiff and straight infront just as the TB however since breeding focused more on performance in recent times this has changed somewhat. There was a time when 87% of all stallions used in TK breeding were in fact TBs. Gribaldi had this modern warmblood movement rather than the typical TK movement of a TB.
@@equestanton1017 Gribaldi has 72.66% Trakehner blood and 27,34 % thoroughbred. He embodies the classical, floating Trakehner movement, rather than the stomping (“round” as you say) carriage front action of the Dutch Warmblood/Dutch Carriage Horse and the other carriage/coach-type warmbloods (Holsteins, Oldenburgs, Hanoverians). With Gribaldi, the Dutch breeders added an invaluable asset to their open stud book. A doubtless testimony to the continuing significance of the #Trakehner breed as world-class sport horses.
@@millsixstudios round movement or position of the front leg is not stomping, it's the desired dressage movement today. Edward Gal who rode Gribaldi unfortunately produced a very choppy tense stomping action from him but this was purely his training methods. Much greater softness and elastic swing is looked for now. The only stomping breeds are the PREs who have a very short stride and high knee action. There is an attempt at producing a modern sport horse version of PRE but it hasn't exactly materialised yet. Trakehners despite one or two notable modern stallions have a way to go in uniformity of good movement across the population as the stiff straight movement hasn't disappeared. They are a work in progress till they are as uniformly good as warmbloods. In general floating movement is not considered ideal as it's difficult to collect, rather a high degree of suspension and joint flexibility and elasticity is looked for. Carriage horses brought this in spades they were indispensable in producing top class modern sport horses, for dressage they gave the stunning big fronts and hind power and drive for jumping they gave power in the hinds too. TB and to a lesser extent Trk gave refinement and a more open stride, but you still need sufficient knee or the leg becomes straight again and that stilted straight peg leg in front of the TB is not desired. Somewhere inbetween. For my money the Trk doesn't have the breadth and depth of good genetics across the board that the warmblood has. Thats why they make good crosses with warmbloods to diversify the WB. The influence of Gribaldi in his day was important particularly for the Dutch WB but no more so than many other key stallions in the development of the Warmblood in the past.
Mon quintero est mort de la même cause à tout juste 7ans, il y a 9mois... c'est une telle injustice....impossible de s'en remettre.. Quintero, Gribaldi et tout les autres... RIP
i just saw a video of painted black and couldn't help but wonder if all three were related- this answered my question. all 3 phenomenal and GORGEOUS TO BOOT!
Gribaldi ein Ausnahme Pferd einfach Klasse kleine Kritik die Musik passt nicht da were ein Klassik angesagt Er ist so ein Toller kommt für mich aufs Treppschen mit dem Tollen Totilas Weltpferde natürlich muss es immer mit dem Reiter passen 🤗💗aus der Sportlichen Laufbahn von Totilas sieht man ja ist es richtig schief gegangen. Verletzung des Totilas ist schlimm Europameisterschaft ihn starten zu lassen das war ein No Go keiner kann mir erzählen das die Verletzung nicht beim Training da vor aufgefallen ist ..Leider wurde Toti verheizt meine tiefe Verachtung alles Gute für ihn und ein Zitat aus dem Reiter ABZ Das Herz erkennst du an der Hand des Reiters ,und allen Vier Beinigen Patnern das sollten Sie immer sein 💚
Gribaldi and his progeny are not easy horses to ride. Before you criticise you should actually sit on one. My trainer has one and I have only sat on him in walk but it was very very different from any other horse I'd ever ridden. Edward Gal is the best!
Often, the best horses are not easy to ride. I have a son of Bretton Woods and I have never felt the sheer power of a horse like him before and that is just in walk! I never underestimate the skills required to ride talented horses as they all possess an extra something which always makes them special.
I think you are entirely correct. Looking at this horse and his concentration, I think you'd have to be so precise, secure, and small in your cues because this is exactly the type of horse that would WAY OVER-RESPOND. I thought that was beautifully ridden. That horse had huge concentration, and a pretty quiet tail... That says a lot.
Wo siehst du hier Rollkur🤦🏻♀️Rollkur ist wenn das Pferd permanent (also die ganze Zeit) hinter der senkrechten ist & der kopf an die Brust GEZOGEN wird nicht wenn das Pferd leicht hinter/vor der senkrechten ist🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️
@@chihuahuapaws7602 also was eine rollkur ist, weiß ich ganz genau und das hat nur bedingt mit der senkrechten zu tun, sondern mit den halswirbeln! dann geht es nicht darum, was er hier vorführt, sondern was das pferd macht, sobald es nicht hochgeritten wird! beim gruss ist es deutlich u. auch bei vielen stellungen, dass totilas in vollster rollkur ausgebildet wurde! jeder, der nur einen funken vom reiten versteht, weiß u. sieht das! zudem ist das rollkurmonster von trainer offiziell bekannt, wie ebenso zig videos v. gal u. rath! ausserdem weiß ich einiges aus persönlichen gründen u. beruflich hab ich auch damit zu tun! wenn du so einen müll schreibst, wird sehr deutlich, dass du weder ahnung noch empathie hast!
@@chihuahuapaws7602 ach ja und rollkur hat absolut nichts mit "permanent" (ich weiß was das wort bedeutet, auch ohne erklärung) zu tun, da das pferd insgesamt nur max. 10 min. (sogar lt. gesetz) IM TRAINING diese stellung einnehmen darf, und in der prüfung GAR NICHT!
Maybe she's not really right, but it's not completely wrong so it's definitly not the funniest thing. You ever had a look at the neck of the horse? It's obiously not the highest point. The horse it's amazing, but the pirouette was really much too big and irregular. Say someone it's crap what he/she say, although you are talking shit. Not nice.
Are u serious? who are you to say that edward gal is no good?? so....what u are saying is that one of the best riders in the world has no idea of rhythm and disturbs the horse movements... i'd like to see YOU riding!!
Das kann ich immer wieder sehen und habe immer wieder Tränen in den Augen. Danke ❤
That's one talented horse!
One very special horse that has made history. Truly beautiful, its like he floats across the sand, just gorgeous.

Замечательная лошадь!
i chocked up when i saw this - such a sad ending to a brilliant life. you will always be missed but never forgotton! i'm sure he is looking down on Totilas right now :)
i love 2.40 - the transition in the chorus or the song as Gribaldi' inafmous WOW trot conbined totaly had my in tears! brillliant stuff xxxx
He was so so much more gorgeous than any of his progeny. bless him.
Great Hors 🐎
I think he was beautiful. RIP Gribaldi

Trakehner front leg action, very different from the carriage horse type gaits currently in vogue. Gribaldi floats, he doesn’t stomp.

rest in peace....
Very sad to have just seen him and now he is gone...
Love the horse and rider but "dat music doe!" 😝
He passed away a very short time after this event....
we have an gribaldi mare on our stable (:
maybe a great rider ,but not the greatest..why the neck is not the highest point.don't get it
@GLoriacidable that's probably the funniest thing I've read in a loooong time on here.
@548401 He passed away from a heart problem, I believe it was a hole.
PARECE UMA NUVEM FLUTUANDO .MAGNIFICO
@548401 His aorta (biggest and most important vein ^^) got teared
