The power of today's computational and communication resources means that we are able to create modelling, simulation and decision-support tools with unprecedented quality. Modelling the biosphere with ever-greater numbers of biotic and abiotic components remains a great challenge of our time. Climate research (space weather included) uses models dealing with varying scales and resolutions, and will require new architectures with access to distributed resources. Branch-oriented simulation systems should prove the right software tools to be flexibly adapted to the special structure and data of complex environmental systems.

horrified at the comments here and the ignorance for horse welfare - I saw a beautiful stallion with a locked back, producing nervous jerking of his front limbs - with substandard training and sycophantic ignorant judging thrown in for good measure -how sad.

What else can be said but, "What a ride"!!!!!

i love that horse!!! georgous!!! :D

that halt at the end....WOW!!!! amazing!!!!

Amazing, breath taking, it gave me goosebumps

this is my dream, edward gal is my hero, i aspireto be like him, he has no idea of the huge impact he has on my life nad what i want to do when im older, absolutely amazing :) xxx

Just amazing !!

i want to download it !

wow the way that horse moves is amazing i cant imagne how long it took to train him

I was lucky enough to see Totilas at Olympia in the on both nights. To see him live was remarkable;I believe that this horse has his 'rider of a lifetime' in Edward Gal and their rappor is one of the reasons for the record breaking results

nice horse xxx <3

i am amazed i love all of that performance i am gobsmacked :o

amazing he looked spectacular!!!!

Simply breath taking - never tire of watching near perfection, if only I could ride like Edward.

Dressage , the new sport of Kings & Totilas is the Monarch . Wow !

Alexsandra Throstrup , get a life .

And God created The Horse . Totilas - one of the most beautiful equine creatures - EVER . I would sell my soul to the Devil to own such a beast , let alone ride one . Edward , you're HOT , but TOTILAS - you're on FIRE ! Encore ! Bravo ! Simply the BEST . Awesome .

OH my God ! Some of these Kill joys who comment about this horses movement make me sick !! Some people are so Boring that when they see something as exciting as this beautiful black horse & pretty spunky rider they just dry up like the old prunes that they are ! Stick to knitting . They tried to ban Elvis from gyrating his hips but he ended up a phenomenon & this horse should be just as famous . Incredible , inspiring & magnificent & I'm in love with both of them .

Absolutely & quintessentially the most beautiful horse & rider . For a performance like that to evoke so much emotion & bring tears to your eyes it had to be brilliant & it was . For those who criticize it all I can say is go stick your head down the toilet where it belongs ! That horse is a superstar & even Madonna would be humbled by such genius . I love Edward but Totilas is KING . Bring it on !!!

absolute rubbish...got an old shetland pony 30 years 12 hands..... wipe the floor... with him......no only joking absolutley masterful....must have watched this 1000 times already...never fails to lift me .Well done Edward and well done totilas ....still the best is to come .

arghhh. goosebumps EVERY time i see this <3

does anyone else think edward gal looks like william fox-pitt?

WOOW!!! That was amazing and truely breathtaking, and to who ever wants to critise that preformance then they ust not be able to appreciate the true beauty of that horse, go Edward Gal!!! :)

INSPIRATIONAL

TO THE PERSON WHO SAID ABOUT THE HORSES LETTING THEIR HAIR DOWN:
Well I have trained many quality dressage horses that have made high levels, and I just have to tell you that yes, they do let their hair down. As a matter of fact, my horses are hacked offroad and taked galloping arround once a week as part of a rota arround the yard. So yes, they very much do :)

Truly breathtaking, we will probably never see another like him again. It is such a privilage to watch a partnership like this. I find it inpiring and makes me very determined to do better.

Brought many tears to my eyes,words can not explain how wonderful this partership is .quite spectacular

No it wasn't perfect, therefore they didn't score 100%, it was however an amazing performance and anyone who saw it live, as I was lucky enough to do, cannot help but think that the adverse comments below are from some very jealous people who perhaps should try another sport, they do not seem to have the generosity of spirit that is required for this discipline.

I saw Edward and Totilas at Hickstead, the only horse to ever make me cry watching dressage! and the only time I have ever spontaneously stood to applaud anything!

wow that pair are absolutely AMAZING!! That horse is a work of art and i think any horse lover would dream of having a horse like that!! Mr. Edaward Gal, you are soooo lucy to have that horse!!!

i can't speak ! too many tears!!!

The Dutch have their new 'Black Pearl' long may he reign. Edward Gal is such a sympathetic rider and it shows in Totitlas' performance. A match made in heaven.

Every time I view this video I cry. He is giving Edward his whole heart; it's breathtakingly beautiful.

This was absolutley amazing.I do not know much about dressage because I'm more into showjumping but this was breathtaking.

I am not a huge dressage fan because I wonder if these horses ever get to let their hair down and have fun,nor indeed do I know much about it, however, I did enjoy watching Totilas and the performance gave me goosebumps. The technicalities of the performance are beyond me but I must pass my own comment re the judges and judging. Quite simply the majority of judging is a foregone conclusion (I hesitate to say 'bent') whether it be Dressage, Showing under saddle, Showing in hand or Dog showing. We lesser mortals have to accept this sad but true state of affairs, when we know our face doesn't fit or isn't well known enough but our animals are good enough to win but 'the faces' get the nod because of who they are. I don't think it's a case of judges 'having the balls' to judge correctly, more a case of they should be judging honestly and not judging who is at the end of the reins, or lead, or because 'that person' is judging somewhere the following week and they expect the favour returned.

Wow that was amazing. absolutly awesome.

simply breathtaking....horse and man in complete unison.

I just have one comment for the complainers. LET"S SEE YOU DO BETTER!! The horse is happy in his manner, in superb physical condition and lovely beyond words.

Truly lovely A case of man and horse almost becoming one.
Very beautiful.

Inspiring. Would consider selling my soul to have a horse that fabulous and to be able to ride like that!! I think I'm in love!!

Magical

For those who criticize, do you really have the level of those international juges ??? I don't think so. If they gave him this result, it's because he was awesome.
One more thing, you must consider that the discipline of dressage evolute, like every discipline. Maybe it's beautiful to write a hand made letter, but with EVOLUTION, we now use computer to communicate.
It's the same in dressage. It is beautiful to watch a horse who do extreme collection (like Nuvo Olivera do), but it's not the only thing to consider today. We want MODERN dressage to be more attractive to the audience, so we prefer horses with plenty of expression, spring, and liberty in the front legs.
It's also the evolution in the horse's genetic. Breeders know that they must make horses more and more expressive. If you compare Isabell Werth and Gigolo, only few years ago who won many titles, with Blue Hors Matiné or Tortilas, you can clearly see what I am talking about.
If we now have incredible horses like Tortilas, I can't wait to see dressage in a couple of years ! =D

How extraordinarily beautiful....has it occured to those of you that are so critical that there should be room in the dressage world for an obviously naturally gifted horse such as this who happens to have this incredible way of moving? He appears to have springs in his feet and a beautiful reach in his shoulder that is truly a gift. I have never been attracted to competing in dressage (although I utilize many of the priniciples in my training) precisely because I find many of the horses I have seen to looking braced and unhappy. This horse is just the opposite. His ears are moving back and forth as he listens to his rider, his expression is soft and he really seems to be enjoying himself. In addition, this gentleman is a drop dead gorgeous rider; I have never seen such a quiet dressage rider. It is a beautiful picture of communication. Is that not what you all strive for?

o my god edward is sooooo hot xxxxx
