I watch dressage anytime I see it's on. That is one amazing horse/rider combination. I've really like the freestyle stuff but this is far and away the best performance I've ever seen. The horse is so intense and focused and moves with such grace that you hardly notice the rider. He is just as smooth and focused as the horse and the horse is "merely" resonding to what the rider is telling her through the reins and his legs and his feet. awesum!!! Thanks for posting this Cabinetman.In my old age I look back and realize how lucky I was to live in a time when common sense was common.

Those two are quite remarkable. That is one very solid horse.

That's a flying lead change on every stride. I forget what the step where the horse doesn't move forward is called. I used to do a little light dressage riding back in the day, on hunter-jumpers. Dressage made them much more responsive to the rider.

Changing on every stride in a straight line is quite difficult and pretty strenuous for the horse. Part of the beauty of dressage is the rider giving no clue how hard the two of them are working. Usually the cues are nearly invisible.
Quite a long post. Sorry.
I LOVED riding, especially jumping, and I miss it quite a bit.
