Hours of training during which the horse's head is tied as tightly to its chest as a freightship to the quay, often even using drawreins in combination with a double bridle. A horse, which is captivated in such a way can only see the sand underneath its hooves, and hence literally flies blindly across the arena. Only sometimes, when the neck brutally gets pulled towards one side, which some riders excuse as bending, the chance opens up for the horse to look its tormenter straight into the eye. Regarding the horse's health the results of this torture are well known: a tight back and twitching hindlegs are relatively harmless ones, inflammation along the spine and other long term damage are the next step up. <O:P></O:P></FONT></SPAN></P> <P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0cm -5.65pt 0pt 0cm"><SPAN lang=EN-GB style="COLOR: black; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB"><FONT face=Arial>If one of the four legged athletes does not play along, there are plenty of resources to make him play. There is talk of electric shocks and of water supplies being switched off before competitions. This means that those horses, which get distracted and might be spooky, are being tranquilised as a precaution; no need for sedative. And no need to be worried about unknowingly stepping into the "doping-trap". All of this gets hardly ever spoken about in public, the brotherliness in wrongdoing is still present. And if a few spectators complain, who happened to see what is going on in the warm-up arena, they are told they do not have enough expertise to understand. And maybe one day they also do not have enough patience to watch the pretty dressage-world with its ever so happy athletes, underneath which sceneries reign terror and brutality. <O:P></O:P></FONT></SPAN></P> <P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0cm -5.65pt 0pt 0cm"><SPAN lang=EN-GB style="COLOR: black; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB"><FONT face=Arial>(translated into English by Annalene Becker)<O:P></O:P></FONT></SPAN></P> <P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0cm -5.65pt 0pt 0cm"><SPAN lang=EN-GB style="COLOR: black; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB"><FONT face=Arial> <O:P></O:P></FONT></SPAN></P> <P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0cm -5.65pt 0pt 0cm"><FONT size=2><FONT face=Arial><B><SPAN lang=EN-GB style="FONT-SIZE: 14pt; COLOR: black; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB">Training methods in discussion</SPAN></B><SPAN lang=EN-GB style="FONT-SIZE: 14pt; COLOR: black; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB"><O:P></O:P></SPAN></FONT></FONT></P> <P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0cm -5.65pt 0pt 0cm"><FONT size=2><FONT face=Arial><B><SPAN lang=EN-GB style="FONT-SIZE: 14pt; COLOR: black; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB">Dressage perversly</SPAN></B><SPAN lang=EN-GB style="FONT-SIZE: 14pt; COLOR: black; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB"><O:P></O:P></SPAN></FONT></FONT></P> <P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0cm -5.65pt 0pt 0cm"><SPAN lang=EN-GB style="COLOR: black; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB"><FONT face=Arial>The dressage sport is degenerating.

Martin Schaudt had received<BR>complaints the previous year. As many are aware, van Grunsven won the Olympics<BR>in Athens a few weeks later on Salinero, Isabell Werth can only maintain<BR>control of Satchmo in phases ever since and Schaudt's Weltall completely quit<BR>cooperation during the freestyle in Athens, but later, during the indoor<BR>season, rose like phoenix from the ashes and gained "world record points" in<BR>the Grand Prix Special. Each ot Weltall's outings gets followed with<BR>excitement. They speak of genius and insanity, same applies to nearly every<BR>worldclass horse, apart from the diligent worker Gigolo. Thinking of a genius<BR>when one is watching Weltall's legs during the passage and piaffe, sticking<BR>precisely to the rythm like a clockwork; insanity when he does not succeed to<BR>show a test without making fundamental errors - errors related to the very<BR>basics of a horse's education, such as the rythm in all three basic gaits. A<BR>fate which Weltall shares with Satchmo. Although he sticks to the rythm, he is<BR>not obedient. Isabell Werth abandoned her plans to start at the German<BR>championships in Verden after her future prospect- who seemed to have been on<BR>his way up at that point - abandoned his share of the combined effort to <BR>finish the test whilst competing in Balve. And also Nadine Capellman's future <BR>prospect Elvis, wich many predict to have a great carrer ahaed of him, quit his duties<BR>and already bolted across the the warm-up arena, instead of of doing the <BR>piaffe - apparently, as stated a few days after the incidence, due to a trapped<BR>sciatic nerve.<O:P></O:P></FONT></SPAN></P> <P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0cm -5.65pt 0pt 0cm"><B><SPAN lang=EN-GB style="COLOR: black; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB"><O:P><FONT face=Arial> </FONT></O:P></SPAN></B></P> <P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0cm -5.65pt 0pt 0cm"><FONT face=Arial><B><SPAN lang=EN-GB style="COLOR: black; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB">Crime scene warm-up arena</SPAN></B><SPAN lang=EN-GB style="COLOR: black; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB"><O:P></O:P></SPAN></FONT></P> <P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0cm -5.65pt 0pt 0cm"><SPAN lang=EN-GB style="COLOR: black; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB"><FONT face=Arial>There is hardly any competition without debate.

For Mariette Withagens, chairman of the dressage committee of the<BR>FEI, it was just a litte side comment - "well, she just rode Salinero very<BR>deep, this is how it is done nowadays". And as the judges only judge what they<BR>see during test, the horse and rider combination gained record marks in the<BR>freestyle to music and even a 10,0 for their choreography of the German judge<BR>Uwe Mechelm. Later, on the phone, questioned about the incidence in the <BR>warm-up arena, Mechlem claimed not to know anything about it: "Oh, did that really<BR>happen?"

The horse's nose is approaching<BR>the 45° angle behind the vertical, the neck is tightly rolled. The same moment<BR>the horse comes to a standstill the rider's leg gains momentum. Again the<BR>spurs, again halting, again left and right on the reins.<BR>Scenes like these are not rare. And of course the German riders are just as<BR>capable to ride their horses that tight and that deep. Only the methodical, <BR>the strict repeated "biting into the chest", is not - yet?- the norm. The piaffe<BR>also gets carried out in this posture - shortly before entering the young<BR>dressage horse class, as shown by one of van Grunsven's students.<BR>The Dutch national trainer Sjef Janssen has been addressed many times relating<BR>his training methods. He repeatedly stressed in interviews that, what he calls<BR>long and low ("laag en diep"), is beneficial for the horse, and that in his<BR>opinion the classical education harms the horses. His best argument is <BR>Bonfire, winner of the Olympics 2000, which is still fit as a youngster although he is<BR>already 23 years old. And it is him, which Sjef Janssen, as can be seen on <BR>Anky van Grunsven's website, takes out of his stable every now and then to do a bit<BR>of piaffe. With an extremely deep head carriage, of course. It looks like the<BR>method which Nicole Uphoff and Isabell Werth brought to perfection, based on<BR>the training with Dr. Uwe Schulten-Baumer, the ill famed "rollkur", dicredited<BR>by the ST.GEORG. But Janssen disagrees. He told the Australian Horse Magazine<BR>that his method of training horses has nothing to do with this. In his opinion<BR>the rolkur results in problems with the horse not remaining in a steady<BR>contact.<O:P></O:P></FONT></SPAN></P> <P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0cm -5.65pt 0pt 0cm"><B><SPAN lang=EN-GB style="COLOR: black; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB"><O:P><FONT face=Arial> </FONT></O:P></SPAN></B></P> <P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0cm -5.65pt 0pt 0cm"><B><SPAN lang=EN-GB style="COLOR: black; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB"><FONT face=Arial>Happy Athlete<BR></FONT></SPAN></B><SPAN lang=EN-GB style="COLOR: black; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB"><FONT face=Arial>The long haired Dutch has always been an "Enfant terrible"; his fans point out<BR>that the rejection of his training methods might be a result of him being<BR>different than the ladies with their pearl necklaces and the gentlemen with<BR>their velvet tissues lurking out of their pockets.<BR>You can only judge what is happening during the test, this Withagens to<BR>explains to the ST.GEORG in an interview after the Olympic games, in order to<BR>eliminate all prejudices agains the warming-up methods.

Blobel sticks to his conclusion: "Dressage<BR>riders have to re-educate themselves, they have to allow their horses exercise<BR>without constraints, and then they will remain healthy. The riders have to<BR>inform themselves what happens in and around their horses during training. <BR>They have to get to know their horse's training-psychology."<BR>Heuschmann follows a second starting point: Back to the roots.

They show tests from the view of<BR>the chief judge at C, including the marks given. The feedback is great, says<BR>Beth Houston: "What does a 9 look like? People get their questions answered <BR>and they love it", especially during judge seminars. And of course it can be seen<BR>that for example a horse, which, during the initial halt, hardly stands still<BR>for one second, by all means can get the high marks. This had to be stopped.<BR>Kyra Beth was told, she is violating Anky van Grunsven's personal rights. She<BR>was not allowed to distribute any videos. The American took the matter to the<BR>ALRV, which did not react for a long while. Half a year later they sent a new<BR>contract with the request to show them a written consent of each filmed rider.<BR>However, the personal rights of top class athletes are restricted by law <BR>during public appearances. It is clear for media- lawyer Dr. Rainer Stelling:<BR>"Although every person has to give their consent before a picture gets<BR>published, there is an exception: If somebody is, and has been for quite some<BR>time, a person of public interest, this consent is not needed. This also holds<BR>true for top-class athletes, especially if they are taking part in <BR>competitions which will increase the public interest in them. This does not apply to a<BR>commercial use."

Therefore judges, who maybe only judge a big competition<BR>once a year, only have to look at the list. Or alternatively at the large<BR>board, on which the marks for each separate movement are already shown during<BR>the test. " This is ok for the audience, but when judges can see that their<BR>marks on the board differ considerably from those of their colleagues, they<BR>will adapt their marks for the next movement", explains the previously<BR>mentioned Grand Prix judge to ST.GEORG.

The past year, the judges have been showing too many discrepancies in their judging system by giving high marks to movements which are not according to the classical principles, such as a super electric piaffe/passage which is spectacular, but shows a horse full of tension and not pole high. Errors in flying changes get marks between 3 and 7 even when they occur right in front of the judges' box. It are the judges who set the standard for dressage and they have to indicate where the future of the sport lies. They can make sure that it's no longer the "End that Justifies the Means" in this sport, but the other way round. <O:P></O:P></FONT></SPAN></P> <P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0cm -5.65pt 0pt
