Agreed, it wouldn't be fun to be that bull, but that was very impressive
riding. That horse was so athletic!
To make this Fjord related - today was the first day my Fjord and I
practiced the cross country training we left off with in the fall. He LOVES
cross country jumping and we're entering a horse trial in June. Any one
else event their Fjord?

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?"

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.
