Beautiful............

I absolutely love this video and have to share it with you all.
I think it is absolutely beautiful. Such a partnership between human and horse which is a fine example of what we should all strive for with out own horses. I get a lump in my throat everytime I watch this video.
I hope you all enjoy it;

Some of Appasionata's stuff, I do not agree with as it gets too close to the fine line between absolutely perfection of a relationship and "tricks". This video though, is an example to us all.

Absolutely breathtaking isn't it

lovley thankyou for sharing. The stallion is the spitting image of YMs mare,except she is a lippizaner

Nice horse, me and may play like that in the field, not as graceful, and his circles at liberty aren't so perfect but not to far off

Lovely, but for the first 30 seconds or so I thought he was going for her.. !! If a horse had its ears flat back at me and came galloping in my direction and rearing up.. i know i wouldn't stick around to find out whether or not it was dancing...!

Sam (aka SLW) · #10 5th Dec 2007, 08:52 PM

Lol Wildponies. It is all choreographed. An amazing horse, an amazing handler and an amazing display.

wildponies · #11 5th Dec 2007, 08:57 PM

Oh yeh i know that. Just he actually looks quite aggresive in some bits of it.

Definately not brave enough to do that! I worked at a stud when i was younger and mucking out the andalucian stallions made my legs go weak! (But they used to poo in little piles in one corner, to make my life easier!)

Wow

KAB · #13 5th Dec 2007, 09:06 PM

I did think he was going to run the woman over at some point! She must really trust him! With them both being white (I know grey is the correct word for the horse) but if there was an accident the blood would really show up wouldnt it! YUK!

Yes please

jaydevon · #16 5th Dec 2007, 09:18 PM

im sorry but its nothing more than tricks, it is nothing about a relashionship if it was why does she need a whip? that horse does that "routine" time and time again, it is practiced.

Horsecrazy88 · #17 5th Dec 2007, 09:33 PM

Horsecrazy88 · #18 5th Dec 2007, 10:26 PM

i posted the others in the cafe area

Tootsie4U · #19 5th Dec 2007, 11:00 PM

Gorgeous and IMO it was just his spirit coming out. Not at all aggressive.

Is he *really* a stallion though? I looked and couldnt find evidence

Sam (aka SLW) · #20 6th Dec 2007, 05:40 AM

Those pics are great HorseCrazy - thanks for adding them
