He makes it look so easy, no wonder people don't think it's a sport, they have no idea about the years and years of practice behind that....

I never get tired of watching this! I've bin watching since 2008 🤠

Very nice quiet, respectful handling. Good job!

Those lead changes. What a lovely pair!

i have to watch this video at least once a week, i love the connection between the rider and that horse. makes me wanna go to portugal and learn this. just inspiration for me and my own horse

OMG!!! What a treat. A genuine collected horse pushing from behind. Watching the horses hind legs as he works, he never stumbles nor gets out of rhythm. A fantastic rider on a magnificent horse. Thank you for sharing.

The reason the horse is working well is because the rider rides well.

This is ridiculously amazing! Fantastic! Wish they had this in the States, it looks like a blast to do.

Knowing nothing about horses, or riding, all I can say is...how beautiful.

Best precision riding I've ever seen.

This just looks unreal- like.. animated. And the rider and horse both look so comfortable!!!!!

Wow! The communication between the two is incredible! I wish my horse and I had that kind of understanding, lol. They are truly in unison. Fabulous!

Oh wow! This is one of the best horse videos I've ever seen!

such a quiet rider, really great example of excellent horsemanship

Both are amazing! Thanks for posting this. The rest of the world has a lot to learn from the Doma Vaquera masters.

@BridgetKroger as said before. the rider is portuguese, the horse is portuguese. means: from portugal. not from spain. big big difference. ;)

Amazing. The horse looks so responsive and willing, look at those quick turns and that acceleration.. The rider is fantastic as well, it's almost like he's just sitting there - his cues are so subtle that they're just about invisible, and he's so quiet in the saddle. Fantastic. Amazing horsemanship.

Wow; beautiful equitation! LOVE this work. :)

i am in LOVE with this horse!

This is really amazing, it seems so easy and the rider and horse really work together. The horse thinks:'What should I do know boss?' He really helps by thinking and trying to do the right thing. I love it.

beautiful. He has good forward motion throughout the whole course, very peppy! I only noticed him break stride once & the side-pass was so quick! loved it!

Gorgeous horse! I love how he moves and carries himself. Must be amazing to ride, so responsive! :)

Absolutely beautiful to watch. The horse, besides being gorgeous, is so well-collected and responsive. It was wonderful to see such a lovely horse and rider.

Awesome eqitation and soooooooooo much fun...love it. Wish it was me. So good with his body and subtle movements...his horse sooooo tuned in to him too.

Thanks for posting this. Nice to see such a well trained and willing horse and an excellent rider pairing.

Unbelievable. So amazing I won't let my horses watch or they'll have self-esteem issues! Beautifully done.

Wow. I love the bridge! This is just beautiful!

That horse is beautiful. He moves like I imagine a war horse to move :P

That is an AMAZING horse.

That's amazing. A real pleasure to watch.

OMG that horse is incredible!!!!!!!

I would call this PERFECT rideability and perfect training! :)

Pedro Torres is one of my favourite horsemen. Search YT for videos of him, parts 1,2,3 and 4.

Amazing! Such a pleasure to watch.

AWESOME!! This looks like SOOO much fun!!!

Simply magnificent!

Awesome display of horsemanship - just great to watch!

Wow, he has a great relationship with his horse! They understand each other very nicely.

My friend rode Oxidado and says he rides like a dream. Pedro gave her dressage tips too :)

Lusitanos are really good at working equitation. Viva Portugal!! The world champion of this art...

I could probably have done that when I was 9. Now, I am WAY out of practice. Fantastic performance!

Wow!! Great horsemanship!!

Thats a crazy beautiful horse

that's amazing, what a great pair!

Cool as hell! great horsemanship!

wow... I'm stunned... this is just totally amazing and... still I don't know what to say... WOW

OOO that looks like fun, wish they had that kind of show here!!

That´s fantastic , excellent job !

Wow! This is awesome!!! It would be so cool if this was how we did trail classes in 4-H!

Wow!!! Something to aspire to!

My God that was amazing.

that horse is amazing!!!!

I just watched a Regional performance in Portugal on youtube and felt so nauseated at how those horses were handled that I had to come watch my fav. video of the wonderful Pedro Torres gracefully guide his horse through the speed test. *sigh* I am refreshed! :)

one word... Amazing

WOW that's amazing! So cool! I had my first WE lession at my riding school last wednesday, we did it all in walk, and I thought that was pretty hard! This is... OMG! Someday I wanna be as good as him 8'D

WOW. Amazing horse, amazing rider :0)

Now that is a connection!

Awesome!!!

So awesome!

beautiful horse

wow thats amazing whata good rider and such a beautiful clever horse. wish I could pull of some of those stunts

What a fantastic pair

Well ridden. Very impressive and awesome pair :)

Nice speed test!

that's amazing!

I would so love to have a tide on a horse with that agility and collection. What fun!

He's a star, Oxidado!

MAGNIFIQUE !!!!

SO COOL!!!

Perfekt .bravo

LOVE it! :)

Most intelligent horse on the world, the Lusitano!

amazing

wow, that's amazing!

this is gotta be the best working equitation performance i've seen so far! o so wish this sport grew exponetially bigger! it'd mean the salvation of our breed! stupid modern dressage standards are completely ruining the breeding program.

I love it

very nice !

this makes me want to get up from the computer and go ride my horse!

wow its like all the gymkhana events all in one. we gotta do thishere in cali!

That's cool! It's like a whole other style of riding - which makes me understand one of my horse's training a lot more! Like, just like with other styles, there's good and bad training, and she probably got the lower end of the spectrum on that one, so I understand! Yay I feel so smart!

wow amazing wish they had something like this in the states or something similar

Bravo!

geeez that takes so much skill!!!

Amazing

Stupendi cavalli e cavalieri

Wow! I am no expert but love way these horses move. I have Pasos_Spanish horses too. I think headset natural for them. Just awesome control and collection. Seen vid of Lusitano bullfight. They are so agile

Wonderful riding- true harmony, pity we so seldom see this in the dressage arena.

I love the saddle I am willing to buy one that kind

They are doing a fantastic job. Lusitanos are the best horses !!

Whoa nice

Wow! that is sooo cool! i wish my pony would do lead changes like that ;]

that is what I call COOPERATION. awesome! :)

Omg cool!!

@DaemiaBrandy yes he is nice. and this is the speed test ( there are 2 more tests they have to pass. like eventing). And the speed test is not judged on the gaits or transitions - only by speed. In the maneability test and the dressage test the gaits and transitions etc. are judged.

wow, this is a lot fancyer than the working equitation where i go! :P nobody bothers with looking smart there :D

great! I love lusitanos.... I wish I were rich and had one ;) K.

Now that is some impressive riding. How ever do you manage to remember the course?!?!

Magnífico cavalo

I just find it much more prettier when there's no bit at all. At least the horse is enjoying it.

@georgiabates Andalusians and Lusitanos are ridden in curb bits when they finish their training, with the left hand, (when rider is right handed) so that they can do the Garocha (long pole rider picked up and stabbed at bull with), the other hand is to lie quietly on the right thigh when not being used for something.
