This message is from: "Gail Russell" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> I saw a horse bullfighting routine on TV. (I do not actually remember the bull being hurt). In that video the horse was even more athletic, literally winding himself around the bull. I remember thinking how the horse put our dressage queens to shame.
I wonder how they get the responsiveness that our dressage horses do not have. Possibly via fear of those horns, rather than of spurs? Possibly also via the fact that they use horses that are better built to collect, instead of the warmblood "go-forward-big-trot-foot-flippers?" Gail I agree about the bull fighting, I don't like it nor enjoy seeing it but it is a tradition in Spain......but I was just amaze at the horse.........WOW, OH WOW.......is that horse responsive. I wonder how often though the horse gets the horns from the bull? I hope not often.......but it sure was something to watch.........just amazing.
