Athletic Horse, Wonderful Music,
Demanding Choreography

 

Idool and Anky van Grunsven, NED, were the tenth pair to compete in the Grand Prix Freestyle Aachen 2001.
Lita Dove

This horse just gets more beautiful to look at — what an athlete! As usual, a top performance. Wonderful music, choreography that is demanding and suited to the horse. And as usual, Anky shows once again that she is one of the top, top riders.

Idool is not Bonfire. The piaffe is either too forward or it gets flat. But wonderful passage! SO free and easy, it looks natural and actually approaches dancing. And Idool can walk!

But the tempis also get a bit flat, and the performance features too much tail swishing.

Anky really working here to keep the balance, but makes it look so easy.
