Dee Mayers posted this video from YouTube I'm sure all of you will enjoy.
This is a Musical Freestyle and it is ridden almost perfectly. It is beautiful to watch. It almost seems like the rider is just sitting atop the horse and the horse is dancing to the music on his own. This is a true artform.
I have always believed riding to be an art.
I'm sure you will all agree on the performance.
Enjoy.

Use a REALTOR with "horse sense" that doesn't horse around when it comes to horse properties.
Brigita- I saw this on you tube a while ago, thank you for sharing it again. I just love it.
I ride Western.
The only thing I don't like is how they hold the horses head, can't be comfy for the horse or how they train them to do this type of "dancing". I feel it is unfair to the horse, please correct me if I'm wrong. I heard about weights on the front legs & that they also put something on/under the tail to keep it swishing like that in competition.
I think my favorite video is Stacy Westfall's Championship ride to "Live Like You Were Dying" Oh my!
It is a beautiful video and I subscribed to your blog a few weeks ago because it's so nice to find another horse lover on AR.
These horses should hold their own heads this way. If it is done right, the rider only has a light touch on the reins. When I ride my horse, he is very relaxed when he is going forward and chomping on the bit. There will always be trainers that force the horse into a frame. The horse will naturally go this way if it is going forward and its conformation permits it.I watch the horses in the field when they run and play and you can see some hold their own.
