With "Fiddle" free of gastric ulcers, she was able to perform at her best in the Olympic trials in May. Her expressive movement, especially at the piaffe and passage, combined with Kathleen´s talent and experience, gave this close partnership an edge, and they earned a spot as first alternates on the U. Olympic dressage team.
In July 1999, Kathleen Raine, one of the top dressage riders in the United States, was competing in Germany with her talented grand prix horse, Fidelia, when she began to notice a change in the mare's behavior.
Kathleen and "Fiddle" may yet get the great opportunity to turn their long-time dream into a reality- and compete in the Olympic Games in 2004.

As Elenna stared, Professor Snape settled his weight back on his haunches and performed first a levade, lifting his forelegs off the ground, and then a perfect passage, that lofty elevated slow trot favored by Dressage masters, avoiding the cat and stepping over several other familiars fluidly.
I've never seen such a perfect dressage body on a small horse before, and I should know.
His hide was so dark it gleamed with bluish highlights and his long tail nearly dragged the ground.
Anton Gunther was famous for his traditional dressage riding, most notably the passage on his famous Oldenburg stallion, Kranich.
Graf Anton Gunther permitted his tenants and other commoners to use his stallions, and soon the 17th Century Oldenburgs were in great demand throughout Europe, serving as elegant riding horses and tall, very attractive carriage horses.
In addition to the efforts of the Oldenburg rulers, the modern horses also owe their refinement in part to the introduction, during the late 18th and very early 19th centuries, of English Thoroughbred blood.
Abrikos' inner beauty and potential, however, was still intact and out in the open so that with little effort he showed his mastery over the piaffe and passage.
Abrikos' coat shone like the purest black pearl but the hernia under his belly after a "successful" colic surgery disfigured the total image of beauty.
A third place was dedicated to Tina Konyot aboard the Russian gelding Abrikos.

Romanian Lipizzans have competed very successfully in international driving competitions; the gold-medalists from WEG in 2003 from Hungary were bred in Romania.
Stoso's bloodlines are very unusual; on the maternal side he is related to the rare "49 Hidas" line from the original Lipizzan mare born in 1909 at the famous stud of Count Andrassy in Hungary.
Most all Lipizzans are outstanding in competition and in upper level movements such as piaffe, passage, and canter pirouettes, with a brilliance not usually seen in other breeds.
Lipizzan horses excel in dressage, especially at the upper levels.
Lipizzans are actually grey; their dark skin hidden under a white coat is not revealed unless they are wet or bear a large scar.
Passage: a movement done at the trot, in which the horse has great elevation of stride and seems to pause between putting down its feet (it has a great amount of suspension in the stride).
Extended gaits: Usually done at the trot and canter, the horse lengthens its stride to the maximum length through great forward thrust and reach.
Flying Changes (one and two tempis): The horse changes leads at the canter every stride (one tempi), two strides (two tempi), or three strides (three tempi).
Gussy's passage and his piaffe plus his willingness and consistency carried him to the blue ribbons through the show.
So she had trainer James Armstrong take him eight years ago and slowly he dark chestnut's strengths emerged.
Although Gussy may not make a US Olympic squad before he retires in the near future to be Ward's mount, "he has the heart to do it against the bigger horses," Armstrong said of the Dutch warmblood who successfully competed against horses that towered over Gussy's 16-hand stature.

Anton Gunther was famous for his traditional dressage riding, most notably the passage on his famous Oldenburg stallion, Kranich.
The Oldenburg is bred in a small area near the modern region of Lower Saxony surrounding the city of Oldenburg, a breeding area historically confined to approximatively 5,400 square kilometers, in the center of the Hannoverian region.
Ownership of Oldenburg stallions by private breeders, who can afford the best and most expensive, has resulted in many mare owners from the surrounding Hannoverian breeding area bringing their horses to Oldenburg stallions despite the fact that breeding fees are often as much as twice those offered by government owned Hannoverians.
Anky van Grunsven and her husband Sjef Janssen fought two battles today, one in the dressage ring and one in a German court against the German magazine St Georg..

Twelve national titles, seven worldcup wins, two Olympic individual gold medals, one gold Worldchampionship-medal and now the second European individual gold medal was awarded to Anky van Grunsven, the undisputed queen of the dressage world from the Netherlands.
