Yes, she looks stressed to me. You want to see some really amazing stuff, try to catch this guy: http://www.cowboydressage.com/ I watched him perform w/ his Morgan stallion a few years ago and was completely blown away by both of them! He does dressage and reining, combined into one exhibition. He barely moves his hands or his feet, doesn't have his foot halfway up the horse's flank to cue for a flying change, no bippity-bopping around in the saddle like some dressage folks. And his horse does everything--cantering sideways (!)--hows that for amazing! There was NO tail-swishing on this guy's horse! At all. If anyone gets the chance to see this guy perform, go! All other dressage pales in comparison. Robyn
