#ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#I saw it too.  I thought the horse got better as the test went on - his extention after the canter work was fabulous!   I thought he was a neat horse too as I haven't seen him before.  He actually reminded me of Bonfire, but with smoother movements (I think it was the high knees!).  All in all, I thought it was a good test.  However, Ive seen Isabell ride, IMO, better tests on Gigalo.  I thought the test was great, but Im not sure if it was record breaking great.  What did everyone else think?#ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl#

#ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#gigolo and bonfire are 2 amazing legends. I dont like salinero nearly as much. He is still really good. I havent seen satchmo though but that is amazing that she got that record breaking test#ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl#
When something goes wrong in a show, it's actually the best time because you learn from it. You ask yourself 'what can I do better?' When everything goes OK, you don't ask yourself that question --- ANKY

#ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#I think over the years the&nbsp;judges seem to be awarding higher scores.&nbsp; Can't be that all of a sudden everyone is new and improved.&nbsp; Used to be years ago you could win a class with mid 60's......#ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl#

#ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#watch a video from "years ago" and then watch anky or isabell... you will see the difference. #ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#&nbsp;#ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#I remember an article that was written by Lucinda Green, re:dressage riders yesterday and today... One comment she made was about watching Riener Klimke way back when she went to the olympics, and then getting to watch Ankys ride on bonfire and how much a difference there was between them and pretty much how much more amazing Anky is. Riding, training, position and feeling in the test. #ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#&nbsp;#ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#We are constantly&nbsp;adopting new training methods&nbsp;and improving our riding skills through time. So yes, it is more then likely that our riders now are much better and much more improved. Someone who rode in the 50/60's will not ride the same as our successfull dressage competitors ride now. #ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl#
