I agree. I rode there for 5 years and those boys are pampered.Back off nightrider.I'd like to see how long u'd last on a young stud in an arena with 7 more agressive stallions in front of 1200 people. Do you think you're good enough to even keep all four on the ground let alone remember your routine?Or maybe that's why ur so angry...anyone who thinks they could do better wouldn't last more than a summer.If you have a scar, you didn't listen or weren't paying attention.

Ok,nightrider,I know who u r and you really need to let it go.I was there when u were,you know very well these horses are never abused in any way.They are spoiled rotten.They are sweet natured and don't hurt the handlers.I raised half of them,I know.Although no longer with the show,I see the girls doing the best they can.Lay off with the bad talk.U weren't there long enough to learn the secrets of the Airs.Btw,Danya and Tara were there for 6 years.They must have loved it.

so pretty much you think most people watching the shows are too dumb to know that the way the horses are handled is incorrect. they are loud, they hit them too hard with the whips, they don't have proper leg ques.... and thats a good show???

well I guess you are that low of a person. sad. You are not to bright either, did I ever say anything about the training? no. And define good. Is this good dressage? No and I never said it was. Is it a good show? I believe it is. Its entertaining for the general public to see these " Lipizzaner Stallions" who cares if its not perfect. Does the "general public" really know the difference between good and bad dressage? No. You could put a horse in the arena and let it eat and they would be happy.

come on now.. is putting other people down making you feel better? are you really that low of a person?

nightrider1357 (November 30, 1999 at 12:00 am)

i think i offended someone with my comments, darn... i'm so sorry julie. If you believe that this is a good show and the training is done the way it should be done.... shame on you. i quit working for them because the traiing methods sucked!!! i wanted to learn the dressage and the airs training, i learned only harsh methods that i myself would never in my life use on my precious horses... my qaurter horse does the line work prettyer than the lips! sad, sad, sad... keep enjoying the pity thou

well I was not going to say a thing. I don't think what you wrote really needs to be dignifed with an answer but never the less you're kinda asking for it aren't you? All I feel I really needed to say I've already said in the first thing I posted. I myself have ridden with them and them went on to ride with the "World Famous" Lipizz. Show, guess what? both shows are not "real" dressage BUT it is there for general public to be entertained. .. Hunny what in the hell crawled up your ass and died?

nightrider1357 (November 30, 1999 at 12:00 am)

and mrs julie... say what you want about what i said... ive been there done that with them... they are falling apart and everyone is seeing it, and im enjoying watching it :)

nightrider1357 (November 30, 1999 at 12:00 am)

yes, they did kick out at some of the handlers, because they would rein them in and crack ther heels with the whip to get the crappy caproiles... i'd kick them too!! the lack of proper training was terrible. i joined up with them to learn something, yeah i learned alot. they are fakes with pretty white horses. im sorry bella my pretty boy. i miss the horses but not the people at all. the only hope these people have is to bring outside help in, because no one in the family knows what to do at all
