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!

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.
Miss Muff 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.
Webster 25 Apr 2009 A very important video! Like she says, it's extremely important that the rider do as much grooming with the horses as he/she can. So they can get to know each other. Just riding is not enough to have a connection with you horse.
ziggiewoo 25 Apr 2009 Lovely, their yard is not far from me, think I'll book in for a spa session!!
