About this video

Susanna Bordone rode in the European Champs '09 for Italy in dressage and eventing! We watch her fine tune 13 year old Blue Moss before the Champs', where Italy won team silver. Susanna explains that Mossy tries hard and is careful so the aim is to make life easy for her. She looks chilled but in fact she worries, so being clear and keeping her happy is paramount. The grid, consisting of 5 uprights and a parallel all on short strides, is designed to close Mossy up and engage her back end. There is also a wide oxer on the opposite side of the arena to open her up again. Brynley Powell helps Susanna with a few choice observations!

Bay Triangle 11 Nov 2009 She has a lovely seat, light, and good hands. Beautiful mare; it's nice to see Thoroughbreds celebrated; it seems that they've no value to anyone any more, at least where I live.
RebeccaAnne 29 Oct 2009 Wow ! i want to understand my horse the way Susanna Bordone does :)
Diana 26 Oct 2009 Look how steady Susanna's hands are over the fences, that shows true balance.
Susanna Bordone 26 Oct 2009 Thank you very much for your comments. Your support means a great deal to us!
Diana 25 Oct 2009 I am not exactly a jumping rider (sic) but I really love the athletic ability of this combination. I don't have an opinion about the hat thing as, even though I work in a hospital and deal with injuries it really is up to the individual.
