Horse ballet

If you like horses you will love this clip. You can almost forget it's a horse! And even if you don't, this is still amazing stuff. This video is of Andreas Helgstrand and his 9 year-old mare, Matinee, at the World Equestrian Games. It is the Musical Freestyle Dressage competition, and they pretty much drowned out all the other competitors.

This is absolutely marvellous. Watch it with enough time to really appreciate it. Turn up the sound and watch this mare dance...she knows where the beat is! And pay attention to her tail action synhronized with the music! See it more than once. Watch it two or three times. It's worth it!
