Wow! Most informative video, at least for a novice like me. And is she an artist too? She makes such elegant and effortless flourishing movements to draw teh horse so accuately :)
Well now I see what you are doing out there with Bruno--though she lost me as I got side tracked trying to visualize the horse skeleton when a rider's weight sits on the trunk of his body. I wanted to see via diagram how holding his head and neck up via the reins affected the posture in his back and his hind quarters to fully understand that loop connection she drew that affected how his legs operated. So I'd have to play this one again and probably again before hopping into any saddle. But this all made a great deal of sense and was the first time I'd ever thought about how a horse's body works with a rider. Interesting.
