About this video

A priceless interview with one of the best known dressage families in Britain! Father and trainer Ferdi has been to most Olympics since the 70's either as a groom, rider or trainer. Maria was travelling reserve for Beijing and British National Champion in '08. Michael started life as a show jumper and is now riding Grand Prix dressage. Ferdi talks about their training philosophy and creating maximum power with minimum control. Mike explains how he and Maria share their rides, and Maria talks about the Olympic Games, and the difference between riding a baby and a finished horse. Fiona Price also asks the Eilbergs about their views on Rollkur!

ravel 23 Apr 2010 What a great interview, I loved the way they dealt with the horse playing with his tongue that was so nice and gentle they seems like a very family, working with the horses not against, my favourite video so far!
Diana 21 Mar 2010 Lovely interview and video. The Eilbergs are also very hardworking and professional. That definately is the main key with horses!
babyface 21 Mar 2010 A very talented family....beautiful riders, so natural & always taking the horses welfare first. I could watch them ride all day long.
hennaroo 19 Mar 2010 That really is a tongue and a half!! Brilliant!! Oh and the interview was interesting too!
TinkerBell 19 Mar 2010 Two Sox is a star!!! I liked Michael's expression that jumping horses need to understand their job and dressage horses need to understand their rider. When you think how often people misunderstand each other - the horses are doing an amazing job!
