Daunte\ Daunte' at Dressage Training Level Test 1
Posted by: thompa5

Video duration: 286 seconds

This is me riding Daunte', my Friesian Thoroughbred 3 yr old stallion, for the first time for both of us at our first official Dressage show. Sorry I had to decrease the quality to include the full test. He was a bit lazy b/c I didn't have my blunt spurs.

This is Daunte around 3 1/2 years old at a "Ride A Test" practicing Training Level Test 1 before we went to our first Dressage show. This was a while back and he's gotten a little further in training, but feel free to critique. It was hot he he was tired so he looks sluggish.

This is Daunte's first time to try a jumping course. He's 4 years old here. He's not really trained to jump, I was just having fun after riding. I was riding in a Dressage saddle so my stirrups are pretty long. Also, I don't claim to be an accomplished jumper.

Kasper is very special to me, so I made a compilation of him. He's lucky he didn't get eaten as a kitten. He has some social issues, but I still love him. Sorry, there's no music, but then you couldn't here the toothbrush.

I'm in the process of revising this video due to certain people getting offended. This was only made to be funny, not to put down any style of training or trainer...

This is Dexter, my 20 year old gelding, learning some new tricks. He is my retired show horse and has some arthritis so I don't ask him to bow, but it doesn't stop him. He thinks he's better than Daunte, his buddy. (my other vid)
