Europeans Windsor 2009: Gold for Edward Gal and Totilas with new World Record 90.70% to win the Freestyle gold medal.
If 'incredible' is the right word to describe the phenomenon of Edward Gal and Totilas? Photo: Julia Rau
It seemed impossible that the record-breaking week at the European FEI Jumping and Dressage Championships at Windsor, Great Britain, could get any better, but for The Netherlands' Edward Gal and Totilas the impossible is just all in a days work.  Tonight, before a packed house and with Windsor Castle standing proudly as a backdrop, the most extraordinary horse-and-rider combination ever seen in the sport of dressage smashed the world record they established in Hickstead just a few short weeks ago when scoring 90.70% to win the Freestyle gold medal.
The excitement in the aftermath was palpable.  All across the showgrounds equestrian fans, officials, supporters and competitors were saying the same thing - "this horse is something so special, we may never see his like again".
Grand Prix Special winners Adelinde Cornelissen and Parzival had to settle for silver this time around while Anky Van Grunsven and Salinero truly rose the occasion with a vastly improved performance to take bronze.  This week the bar has been raised so high however that somehow Gal's words after his opening appearance with the black stallion on Wednesday afternoon don't seem altogether fantastic any more.
That day he half-joked that this horse, which is only a nine year old, has even more room for improvement and that he would like to keep riding Totilas until he earned a score of 100.000%.  Anyone who witnessed tonight's exhibition of controlled power and exuberance could see that perfection is only a short step away and that somehow 100.000% may be not be quite enough….
SET THE TARGET

All three medals in the Freestyle went to the Netherlands who really dominated this European Championships in dressage: Adelinde Cornelissen (silver), Edward Gal (gold) and Anky van Grunsven (bronze). Photo: Julia Rau
As the second tranche of riders got underway in front of the packed house of 8,000 spectators it was Germany's Matthias Alexander Rath and Sterntaler who set the new target with a mark of 77.85% but Britain's Laura Bechtolsheimer then lifted the home fans when earning a score of 81.750% with Hojris.
Yesterday's Grand Prix Special gold medallists Cornelissen and Parzival relegated her however with a test that scored 90% for artistic merit and a final score of 87.35% and with just three left to go it seemed she might be about to do the double.
But as Totilas entered the ring he brought with him that spell-binding magic that has followed him everywhere over the last few months and the crowd were already electrified even before he entered the arena.  With "Totally Totilas" - a compilation of classical music with a modern and dramatic spin - ringing out across Windsor Great Park he produced a spectacular display - the extended trot so extravagant, the piaffe so elevated and the passage so graceful that it left those watching with a lump in their throats.
Van Grunsven followed with a lovely freestyle from Salinero, but there was no doubt where the gold medal was going.
SPEECHLESS
"I don't know what to say anymore" said an almost speechless Gal after breaking another world record again tonight having racked up an unbelievable 29 perfect-10 scores.  He speaks as if he is humbled by the creature who is taking everyone's breath away. "He feels so good you cannot describe it, you have to feel it but you cannot put it into words".
And asked how he felt when he came out of the ring and discovered what he had done he said "I started to cry".
Cornelissen said she knew something amazing had happened when she heard the crowd roar when her compatriot was in the ring. "I know he is an amazing rider and this is an amazing horse" she said.  Van Grunsven was pleased with Salinero's result.  She heard about the scores of her fellow Dutch riders "and I thought yes, I'll go in there and give it a try again" she said.  She admitted "bronze was not what I was hoping for" but she can see, like everyone else, that a new era has dawned in this sport and that a new super-star has been born.

Sensational result for Edward Gal and Totilas in Hickstead  89,400%

No author or artist could have created a nicer end of the first season of the Exquis World Dressage Masters than the reality in Hickstead proved. The fourth edition of the Exquis World Dressage Masters CDI***** delivered an amazing only nine year old winner reaching a world record score in the Freestyle, Moorlands Totilas and Dutch Edward Gal. Emotions ran high and many tears were spread just because of the undoubted beauty of the contest and the amazing spectacle.
It was like it had to be. KWPN stallion Moorlands Totilas whose Grandfather is the famous Trakehner Kostolany is owned by Tosca and Kees Visser from Moorland Investment and Moorland Stables. When Antony Kies of Exquis initiated the new series Exquis World Dressage Masters, Moorland was the first to step in. Now their own horse took the major prize. "I have no words for this, it's too much", Tosca Visser simply said.
Edward Gal agreed: "Moorlands Totilas gave me a wonderful feeling. Wow, what a horse! Only in the one tempi changes a mistake occurred. This happened to us in our first international contest CHIO Rotterdam as well, in which I tried to correct it. This time I thought, just leave it. So I did."
Chairman of the judges Stephen Clarke said he had never seen a test like this before. And still it seems there is more to come.
For the Dutch, Hickstead provided the final official chance to get nominated for the Dutch team at the EC Dressage in Windsor in August forthcoming. Edward Gal still officially needed a minimum Grand Prix results of 64% to be allowed to compete at championships anyway. With his exciting new big tour horse Moorland's Totilas he reached for 15% more and rode no less than 79,745% in Grand Prix, followed by his amazing unofficial world record score of 89,400% in the Freestyle.
He was not the only pair that was surrounded by emotions. The Dutch revelation of the indoor season, three times WC qualifier winner Adelinde Cornelissen, again showed her piaffe and passage miracle Parzival to his advantage, becoming the runner up twice with 76,553% in Grand Prix and 82,200% in the Freestyle. Adelinde was very happy and especially relieved because Parzival didn't show any freaky reaction or fear at all and just was with her doing his job.
The third pair surrounded by emotions was home rider British Laura Bechtolsheimer showing Mistral Hojris in her brand new Freestyle created by Cees Slings. She rode a national record score for Great Britain in Grand Prix in London in December. She now became third with 81,800%.
While British international dressage events have struggled in the past to encourage big names to cross the channel to compete, due to the attractive prize money of  €100.000,-, the highest ever for dressage in the UK, more riders than ever took the challenge to compete. Even American Leslie Morse and Tip Top arrived, just like Canadian Ashley Holzer. "If it was not for the highly dotated and well organised WDM, we certainly would not have made the trip", Ashley Holzer complimented the WDM crew. She became fifth in the Freestyle and turned the Freestyle into sort of an Olympic list. American Leslie Morse took the win in the Grand Prix Special, a test that was dotated with the attractive prize money of € 30.000,-
From the three compatriots of British Laura Bechtolsheimer, the youngest, Maria Eilberg, will have convinced team chef Richard Davison the most to get elected as the fourth rider in the British team for the EC.

Hayley and her spunky Jazz mare, Odiana K, impressed the judges in the Prix st Georges cup. Hayley was very pleased with Friday's test, improving Odi's pirouettes since their last outing. Unfortunately they missed the sequence changes, something they usually execute easily. An otherwise very accurate test scored this combination 61.3% & and 5th place. Saturday evening's PSG Kur saw Odi revved up and ready to go. Despite rushing at times, Hayley and Odi displayed a very correct test to their original choreography, bumping them up to 2nd place, and finishing 3rd overall.

Tiamo update by Lynn



Hi Simone
I just wanted to give you a quick update on Tiamo.  He is doing WONDERFUL!!!!!  He is happy and settled in his new home, and of course, everyone's favorite at the barn.  He has such a funny personality and I just love playing with him.  Thursday was my first day to be able to ride since my surgery.  It was very exciting and Tiamo was an angel.  I don't have any pictures of me riding yet (seems I'm always the one behind the camera) but I do have some pictures of Melissa schooling him.  I'm not near the rider she is, but I'm having the time of my life with Tiamo and that's all that matters to me.  He is my precious pet.  Thank you so much for bringing him into my life.  I'm busy teaching him english -- the usual words: whoa, trot-trot, canter, treats, good boy, etc.  I think he's learning fast.
 
I'll send more pictures when I have some.  Please stay in touch.

Explanation level of the Dutch dressage



Dutch Dressage levels for compatition
Dressage riding is very popular in the Netherlands
In dressage the judges are looking for how Gymnastic and how well the horse performs his test
Here every dressage rider has to start from the bottom up to the
higher level and in every level they have to urn 10 winning points to go to the next level
Starting level is B level Beginning 10 winning points  (Walk trot and canter) next L 1
(light level ) 10 winning points L 2 (light level shoulder inwards  leg healding) 10 winning points
M1  10 winning points  and M 2 (Medium level travers  counter canter)  10 winning points  Z 1 heavy 10 winning points 
Z 2 level  10 winning points  (flying change)
Than we have zz licht,  zz heavy,  the light tour,  middle tour and the heavy tour than we have PSG, 
inter 1 and inter 2 and than GP
So every rider has to urn his points before going to an upper levels
We cant just going to show with are horse in any level we like
Also if the horse is not 6 years old we are not aloud to ride in the 3 rd level Z class with flying change
That is for protection of the horses
