There is simply no such thing as "Iberian classic style". The classical portuguese style is based on the upper classes while the spanish based on the agricultural work, specially cattle driving. From the 4 main Schools, the two closer in Style are those of Austria and Portugal, while France is heavily militarized and that of spain hardly "classic".

Jose Bessa Da Silva your life must be pretty boring

@@turkeyburglarjones6148 , or I like to educate those that clearly need to be...

Jose Bessa Da Silva it’s a five year old comment, have some standards

@@turkeyburglarjones6148 , does that change the fact that is incorrect? Exactly because I do have standards, I had to ;)

+alexis baldwin Not for everyhorse. www.google.co.uk/search?q=palacio+de+queluz+lisbon&espv=2&biw=1212&bih=621&tbm=isch&tbo=u&source=univ&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwiiycbfz8fKAhVGcD4KHThRCUMQ7AkINQ

It's a Palace (called Queluz) actually and the building you can see on the video is simply a small entry from the royal gardens.

They're not behind vertical they are just very soft. Baroque horses have shorter and wider necks than the typical warmblood and other breeds so when they soften on the bridle they can have the appearance of being behind vertical but they are actually not. If you look at them closely you can see they are breaking correctly at the pole and not middle of the neck.

Whatsernamerox the second their nose goes behind the vertical their poll is no longer the highest point, even taking their cresty necks into account. Classical dressage did not start with even horses of this type being BTV. Watch very old footage of the Spanish riding school, you'll notice a stark difference from now and then.. in Iightness, actual collection and how their heads are. I know this is from three years ago but I can't help but reply.

@@turkeyburglarjones6148 , when one speaks about "baroque horses" one must have in consideration we're speaking about several different breeds from several european countries. That said, I personally dislike termes like "barroque" and "iberian" exactly because of that. Taking that in consideration, the Spanish School of Vienne, uses Lipizzaners which were awfully afected by the infusion of other breeds due to WWI and WWII. In other words, their main breeding intention is to return to a much closer body shape to that of the Alter Real, used by the Portuguese School of Equestruan Art. A large neck, short loined, round shaped, thin legged horse, able to do recollection to the point. So, the original horses were indeed very similar to these, unlike the ones used by Cadre Noir, which are warmbloods, or the current Andalusians used by the Royal Andalusian School of Equestrian Art, which are now too heavy and long.

Jose Bessa Da Silva the point went right over your head

@@turkeyburglarjones6148 , not really. I simply decided to ignore your argument about the "nose behing the vertical". As a portuguese, I already grew tired of that histerical attitude some foreigners display towards classical riding and the often ill based assumption that they actually know better or do better ;) .

portuguese soul is like that, Portuguese alway put a long face no matter what lol
