Moorland's Totilas' New World Record!
Today I had the chance to watch the World Cup Qualifier freestyle in London on FEI TV. It was really amazing and there were so many incredible horses competing. When it came down to the last ride, Edward Gal on Moorland's Totilas, I could practicaly feel the excitement through my computer screen! And it was not over exagerated, because the pair ended up scoring a 92.3%! That meant that they beat their own world record set not long before, which was a 90%. Sometimes super high scores are not always deserved, but I can say that this test was practicaly perfect. It's great to see dressage improving so much and I'm looking forward to an exciting and electric 2010 with the WEG in Kentucky!

very nice video, indded. I just which I would understand the comments in it. Hm, coming to think of it it may be better not to understand them if they are as superficial as the ones I usually hear on TV.
