I have been reminded several times lately about seeing the different horses on the Scale of Training dvds that Christoph Hess and Linda Parelli put together. I love the way Marion's Parelli horse entered the ring at a walk on a very loose rein, stretching, relaxed with a lovely energetic walk and continued that free quality of moving into other gaits!!!!
This relates so well to what I look for in ballet dance--that glorious freedom in sync with the music. Relaxation and big energy whether adagio or allegro.
Also I saw this photo of Linda and Jazz on FB or PC. I love how powerful he looks and realize that as a horse gains power I need to have the corresponding fitness in my body to be a good partner.
