Anky on Hyperflexion: Video interview

Posted: 04 Dec 2009 02:39 PM PST

Talk about hyperflexion is heating up bulletin boards again. I admit I did not have the stomach to watch the "blue tongue World Cup" video (verbal descriptions are more than adequate). But let's face it, a two hour training session on its face would seem to be questionable, whatever the training method. The trainer is trying to wear down a horse, or punish him, at that point.

This is a video of Anky discussing rollkur/hyperflexion.

She's clearly on the hot seat, and I think she handles it fairly well. There isn't much to criticize in the footage she shares. Bettina Hoy warmed up in much the same way at Rolex, and she had the top dressage ride. That said, Anky does seem rather evasive when certain questions are posed.
