I have the series on video, Mandy. The rider is son Michael, one of my favourite riders - that is, when he is riding correctly!

Lovely horse!!!

I think the horse looks so much prouder / happy in the second part.

I have just ordered this series of DVD's which I think this clip comes from, am looking forward the their arrival.

My german is a little rusty but I think this would be a rough translation:

"Much too deep in the neck position, head pulled down, this kills all forward movement. The back is fixed, the 1/4's high. all on the forehand. Who would think they could train a dressage horse by pulling his head in, this is incorrect.
Back to the correct way which he has earned, it is amazing that he let us do this with him. He'll go straight for a bit to get his confidence (or maybe balance?) back. Once more into the corner and across the diagonal in medium trot. Lovely neck carriage, look at the pricked ears.
Allowing him to chew the rein from the hand as his reward at the end, the proof that this was real schwung and not a trot created from a false outline"

Hoping this is not too far from the mark

[mandy]

[jade]

It was a pleasure and nice to have a chance to practice my german in a horse related context! Can hardly wait until my DVD's arrive now

Very interesting stuff, thanks for posting and translating.  Boy he makes that horse look tiny with those uber long legs 

[Heather]

Funny thing, Tracey, Michael is not that tall, 6ft, maybe 6'1", but agree he does indeed make that horse look tiny- or maybe it isnt as big as we think!?
