Hi,
I'm looking for videos or pix of non-traditional dressage breeds doing upper level work. I found some on youtube, but would like to find some quarter horses, apps, saddlebreds, thoroughbreds.
Thanks!
Update: A compilation of videos and other info is at

Also, Claggan Roxy Music (another Irish Draught) ridden by Laragh Hamilton was the 2006 National Dressage Champion of Ireland...

I hear such NICE things about them from people who've ridden them, I wondered if they're in the dressage ring!

Anyone have photos of the Canadian rider with "Against All Odds?" She's currently working toward an Olympic seat on the Canadian team and is campaigning in California. Her horses is a PMU horse-great team to watch.
I think some of her students and friends are on this bb...maybe they can chime in.

That would be Courtney Fraser with Against all Odds. Yes, he is a PMU horse, and is a mix of qh, draft and I'm not sure what else.

Courtney was just in California competing with him. They are showing at Grand Prix now. Here is a clip of him doing some canter pirouettes.

Anyone got any pictures of Seldom Seen?
I did a search but didnt come up with much.
I accidentally named my mare Seldom Seen... must have heard the name, but then forgotten the source. When we needed to find an orignal name (her name was already registered for another horse). And seeing as we dont get to as many shows as the rest... hence she is seldom seen!
My husband has no idea who the real Seldom Seen is... so wanted to show him!

That Seldom Seen! Wow! Such a wonderful pony boy! It is always great to see that video but after the first time watching it, I never watch the end anymore, it makes me cry!
