En hoe zit dat in de galop?
Trouwens, Augustin OLD, op de door Caesario geposte foto's op de vorige pagina) is
in mijn ogen het ideaalbeeld van een dressuurpaard. Kracht, souplesse, massa, goeie rug en kantelend bekken. Parzival kan geweldig piafferen, maar kantelt z'n bekken totaal niet en komt dan ook niet echt onder de massa. Dus eigenlijk geen correcte piaffe.
Paarden zoals Augustin en Totilas gaan wél zitten en nemen wél alle kracht op de achterhand. Hierdoor krijgen ze dikwijls problemen met de regelmatigheid, maar da's niet meer dan normaal.
Een paard dat de achterhand niet kan laten dalen, kan ook niet piafferen zoals door de FEI wordt voorgeschreven.
Citaat:
FEI Article 415 The piaffe
1. The piaffe is a highly collected, cadenced, elevated diagonal movement giving the impression of being in place. The horse's back is supple and elastic. The quarters are slightly lowered, the haunches with active hocks are well engaged, giving great freedom, lightness and mobility to the shoulders and forehand. Each diagonal pair of feet is raised and returned to the ground alternately, with an even cadence.
2. In principle, the height of the toe of the raised foreleg should be level with the middle of the cannon bone of the other foreleg. The toe of the raised hind leg should reach just above the fetlock joint of the other hind leg.
3. The neck should be raised and arched, the head vertical. The horse should remain light “on the bit” with a supple poll, maintaining a light and soft contact on a taut rein. The body of the horse should move up and down in a supple, cadenced and harmonious movement.
4. The piaffe must always be animated by a lively impulsion and characterised by a perfect balance. While giving the impression of being in place there may be a visible inclination to advance, this being displayed by the horse's eager acceptance to move forward as soon as he
is asked.
5. Moving even slightly backwards, irregular steps with the hind legs, crossing either the fore - or hind legs or swinging either the forehand or the quarters from one side to the other are serious faults.
A movement with hurried and unlevel or irregular steps without cadence, or spring cannot be called a true piaffe.


Es war keine Glanzleistung, die Adelinde Cornelissen den Titel im Grand Prix Spécial brachte, aber im Gegensatz zu ihren Konkurrenten unterliefen Parzival keine Patzer.
