Without knowing this, no man can dress a horse perfectly.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
By this way you may dress all sorts of horses in the utmost perfection, if you know how to practice it; a thing that is very easy in the hands of a master.
I have walked into several pubs, and guys in there have said to me, 'My God, you are the girl off the dancing horse.' They have got no idea about dressage, and they said, 'I can't work out whether you make the horse do that or the horse does it itself - we just couldn't tell - but it brought tears to our eyes.'
A horse is a thing of beauty... none will tire of looking at him as long as he displays himself in his splendor.
I think some horses are meant to do... eventing or dressage. We have Western horses who canter around. I think it takes, especially at the level I'm at now, it takes a horse that wants to do it.
It isn't called dressage any more - it is called 'dancing horses.'
I've often said there's nothing better for the inside of a man than the outside of a horse.
But we ought to consider the natural form and shape of a horse, that we may work him according to nature.
I understand when people think dressage is boring. But while your standard horse is like driving a Fiesta, our horses are like driving Formula One cars. I can't breathe without the horse reacting. You are training another being to become really responsive and athletic and powerful.
You can lead a horse to water and you can even make it drink, but you can't make actresses wear what they don't want to wear.
Now being upon the haunches (as he necessarily must be in this case) is it impossible but he must be light in hand, because no horse can be rightly upon his haunches without being so.
