Detta är saxat ut en intervju med Martin Schaudt (tysk OS-ryttare i dressyr) från The Hanoverian No 3/2004:
Martin Schaudt appears quiet and reserved. He does like his horses, however, rather hot, over-zealous and aggressive.
"The real good horses, which later compete at the Grand Prix without the wip under the sun in 35 degrees, are often difficult at a young age. During work horses have to become more and more eager".
Here within lies the problem and the effectiveness of the Bundeschampionate, where young horses have to complete their task quietly and very correctly.
"Very rarley do we see a horse performing brilliantly at dressage horse classes and later be competetive at he Grand Prix level. Those are absolute exceptions."
The sport has changed over the last decade. "The level has risen tremendously - nationally and internationally. The horses are much better too. The breeding has improved, the demand and the prices increased."
Top horses, however, are still the exception. "You can breed very good horses with rideability and type, but Grand Prix horses as we need them - you can not breed. The average rider could most likely not handle them either. I believe this is they way it is supposed to be", Martin Schaudt explains his point of view.
Jag ville bara delge er hans resonemang... Jag tycker det var lite intressant med tanke på alla temperamentsdiskussioner. Vill någon så kan jag översätta...
