@@jonjonwp I don't look at the awards and regalia of the horse, but at the way it moves. There is no collection. The back is bent, the nose behind the vertical. The horse is all tense. All movements are purely decorative and do not evolve, but destroy the horse. This has nothing to do with real dressage. Once Edward Gal and Totilas broke the world record, but he used a cruel and crippling methods of training, such as rollkur. If we talk specifically about Charlotte, then compared to Valegro, this horse moves very poorly. (please, don't delete my comments)
It would be pretty ironic if after banging on about freedom of speech in other playlists I then went and deleted your comment which I actually think is very useful to expand on what you meant by “horrible”. I agree when you watch anyone ride you must concentrate on what you see and not what the score was. This is why I stopped putting scores up a long time ago. All these top horses require production.
@@overdrive9356 What you have to do is an assesment of what is happening. The horse at this time was just starting the GP movements. He is being educated not being presented as perfect. At this point he hasn't the muscle to carry himself as perfectly as you seem to think he should. I saw one moment of tension coming out of a piaffe. No big deal in the learning curve. He is nicely collected, not behind the vertical and willing to work. For a green horse he did great. Now one year on he is a stronger better muscled horse and producing some brilliant GP's. Most people think he is a world beater.
Gosh Gio has made so much progress since we last saw him.
I love to watch Charlotte put horses through their paces, fantastic!
I love him! He is like a smaller chestnut version of Valegro!
I saw both Pumpkin(Gio) and Valegro at Your Horse 2019
What a beautiful performance💯💖🐴
GO PUMPKIN!
Horrible.
Thank you for your frank assessment
He just got 85 % in his July 2020 competition so you need to learn something about dressage. This horse is a worldbeater.
