I see people make comparisons between this horse and Valegro all the time, and this horse definitely looks  way more over bent but he is also a completely different stamp to Valegro. Valegro has entirely different conformation, this horse is very short, especially his neck, it can give an entirely different effect

People keep saying this is rollkur, but I disagree. Even in Totilas' freewalk, he doesn't stretch much because he has a short neck. When he is in his collected frame, that's the expected roundness of his neck. He's on the bit and not behind the vertical. He does the movements correctly and that's why he was amazing. People view Valegro as a better horse than him simply because to the eye, Valegro's Grand Prix frame and conformation are both nicer. Totilas brought what he could to the table and I think Gal did I good job with him. I personally hate the way Totilas moves because of his conformation. I don't like how short his neck is, but it's all he has.

The person who bought Toto said he was a "bad investment"....even a novice rider knows that different riders produce different results with the same horse. Toto+Gal combination is simply magical and nothing can beat this...he just floats so gracefully, wish we could see more performances like this.

Got to Charlotte Dujardin with her horses, and you’ll see that the necks are at the same angle, with Totilas’s just a bit rounder, because he has a short neck. It’s completely natural with no Rollkur.

people just envy this rider. he´s an example of one of the best riders. he made this horse, he took this horse to the next level. Some people that are writing stupid comments like: poor horse, in rollkur and etc. they should look at themselves before commenting on others.

never seen such a relaxed horse on the way out.... fantastic

The king Totilas!❤

Totilas was amazing, but I agree, his conformation could be better. I love how he floats through his transitions though.

Unbelievably Beautiful!

So wonderful, but...
Totilas must have become so traumatised by the separation from Edward, that he will never find this level and joy again.

beautyful horse left us RIP Totilas  ;(

those transitions tho 😘😍

He's not trained with rollkur. He's a damn warmblood. when he's collected, his neck looks like that.

Well done, wasn't it ?  You know it's great when you can't wait to watch it again.
Thank you

There is a tangible connection between this rider and this horse. It is truly beautiful to see the respectful conversation going on between the two.

Thanks so much for posting, I miss Gal & Totilas

Been looking long for this video
His best test ever
Both horse and rider so relaxed
Compared to Charlotte such steady easy hands
The horse not once behind the vertical

Just brilliant

test in Olympia Edward just beautiful.

I don't know about u guys, but rollkur is forbidden in the netherlands, so this horse can't be trained with rollkur. If u just take long enough time to train with your horse you will get these results.

Edward Gal loves horses, especially this one. He would never do anything to hurt this or any other horse. 🐴🎶
