I intercepted this video from facebook, and I thought it would make the perfect illustration for my last post, especially for people who have never seen dressage. This is a musical kur ride, which means it's a composed pattern put together with carefully (usually custom done) choreographed music. With regular dressage, horses and riders perform the same pattern without music.
But holy crap, this ride is so beautiful and nearly perfect. (Judges awarded him an overall 90.75% score, which is *amazing*. Most good rides get between 70 and 80%.)
Enjoy.
