Dressage Riding at it's Best

This amazing & beautiful & I highly doubt any of my readers (aka 10 to 20 close friends) will have the patience to watch the entire thing but it's great:



Reminds me of the Lipizzan horses I first saw perform as a little girl when on a family holiday in Spain. Last fall 2006 I was fortunate enough to see them again at Wemberly Park's mini stadium for a second time, with my mom in tow. Even the Queen came, and we all had to stand up when she entered, which I found rather silly.

Not that I'm tooting my country's horn but...Americans did rescue the Lipizzan horses from Hitler & Co. in World War II. I've read they even had special stable bunkers for when bombs were dropped.
