Customer Reviews
fantastic!
Dressage anyone? This is one exciting film about horsemanship and competition. The riders interviewed express their experience with the sport very well. The competitions are thrilling especially the timed events.
One of the best films on competitive riding
One of the best overview equestrian videos of all time. High quality cinematography and scriptwriting. Interviews of the "greats" of riding: William Steinkraus, George Morris, Jimmy Wofford, Michael Plumb, Kim Walnes and more. Covers dressage, eventing and showjumping. Every horse lover should have this keepsake.
Disappointed in quality and content.
The quality of the film is very poor. Pictures are grainey and out of focus in much of the film. Mr. Steinkraus is minimal in this film as he is shown only as narrator in a short segment. Had I known this is strictly an ammature video I would have saved my money. Thrilling? At best it is interesting. If you are really into this sport, it has little to show you. If you are interested in Olympic competition, save your money and buy an Equestrian Olympic DVD. This DVD is definately not worth the price and I would not recommend it to anyone.
