#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# #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# #ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#We are constantly adopting new training methods 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#
