About this video

A unique insight into how dressage National Champion, Maria Eilberg manages her horses at home. Two Sox (Ed) is Maria's Grand Prix partner. He's 15 and she's had him since he was 3 so they are old buddies! Her stallion Rockstar, is the young upstart. Ed is tight in the back (he's not keen on being girthed either), so Maria explains his management which includes massage before work and a solarium afterwards, plus hind leg stretches. Ed's a real character and 'top dog' on the yard. Maria says it's taken time to get to know him and being hands on has really helped to gain his trust and respect and know what routine suits him best!

Kristerhbh 24 Jan 2012 I have to confess I had quite a bubble at this.. what a superb partnership they had!
don rico 3 Oct 2011 Very sad to watch this video now that Two Sox has passed away. It is lovely to see the relationship Maria had with the horse and how special he was to her and the family.
Fiona Price 13 Jul 2009 Idunn, all our celebs' are automatically notified of comments on their videos. So Maria will get your message. Great information. Thanks for posting it!
Idunn 13 Jul 2009 Really enjoyed the video. Thanks! please tell Maria she needs to use an acupressure point called Spleen 21 (close to where the girth comes) to relieve Ed's problem with being girthed up.
Sophie.M 25 Apr 2009 What lovely horses! Especially with Rock Star being a stallion - I love the thing he does with his bottom lip! It's great to see that she still does everything with her horses as, from what I've seen, not many top riders are as involved as Maria is.
