I've just read his book, "Tug of War: classical versus "Modern" Dressage. If you haven't read it yet, read it.
It's a relatively quick read (i only started it this morning and have finished it about 2 minutes ago) but a good one and I will have to buy my own copy so as to be able to re-read it.
Shame i had to look at the rollkur photos - they're in, of course, to illustrate his point as to how bad it is and, even more importantly, WHY it is bad. doesn't make them easier to look at!!!
My next book is Alfons J Dietz, Training the horse in Hand.
Trudi has a good library! and she currently has some of my dvd collection!
Now, about molly.
I found that I had on this laptop 5 minutes worth of the video i did for heather - you may recall seeing it.
We found I could play it in slo-mo (one advantage of Vista and its related software!) and that WAS interesting. her head comes up more when her left hind comes through than her right. So, i need to more in hand/longlining/lunging.
So I shall try slo-mo on the other vid I took lately (shame it's currently on the PC at home!)

Sounds fascinating. Much of modern competitive dressage is "hurry up" to train the horse for competition as soon as possible. (Someone here in the US once wrote and article: How to Train a Grand Prix Horse in four years) :-0
I'll have to keep a look out for that book.
well, it's on amazon, jean..
currently reading paul belasik....good library available here!
