Dressage is a graceful sport in which the rider and the horse perform a sort of dance.
Observing a horse engaged in dressage competition trotting around an arena is beautiful. Horses can compete until they are eight or nine years old and often begin participating at that age.
The French term “dresseur,” which meaning to train, is where the word “dressage” comes from. The Olympic sport consists of a number of individual exams at various levels.
These consist of the Grand Prix Musical Freestyle, in which the horse performs its maneuvers to music.
Each horse and rider team competes in the Olympics, putting on a variety of maneuvers that are judged by seven judges. The standard is used to assess horses and riders, not other competitors.
Before a horse and rider can participate in dressage, they must undergo years of training.
Most riders train with the same horse for an extended period of time.
The rider gives the horse cues that cause it to move in every direction. Although it may appear that the horse is moving independently at times, the horse is very dependent on what the rider is directing it to accomplish.
A cute foal can be seen keeping up with his mother in this wonderful video.
Odeer is the name of the foal, while Zeronica is the name of his mother.
Odeer is shown in the video being introduced during the Gelders stallion show in Ermelo, Netherlands. Alongside his mother Zeronica, he is.
His handler guides him to the center of the arena, where he is then left alone with Zeronica and her rider.
Odeer, while still being a young foal, is clearly keeping up with his mother and her rider. Even though no one is directing him, it nearly seems like he is mimicking her precise moves.
Odeer also appears to be having fun and likes being a part of the event.
He keeps time with his mother and the beat of the pop tune playing.
Following a few laps around the arena with his mother, they halt and remain in the center, where Zeronica is awarded a ribbon. Odeer clings close to his mother, trying to be as near as he can.
From his mom’s rider, he also receives a lovable pet.
He follows his mother closely once again as she trots out after receiving the ribbon till they are escorted outside the ring.
Odeer and Zeronica appear so at ease when performing, which we like. This is an important component in dressage. Both the rider and the horse should appear at ease and assured. Additionally, the motions should appear easy.
There have been almost 800,000 views of the video.
“This is very cute! Odeer is such a sweet whinny and loves all the attention! And his mother is also gorgeous, one commenter noted.
One may see Zeronica talking to her stallion foal. “‘Mama’s working, don’t now, baby.’ Every pass and stride the mare makes, the foal follows close after. Another internet user said, “So gorgeous!”
You can appreciate the practice and discipline that go into dressage by watching Odeer and Zeronica. Odeer is already aware with how tournaments operate even if he probably won’t participate in them for a few more years.
