To ride dressage is to dance with your horse, equal partners in the delicate and sometimes difficult work of creating harmony and beauty.

Isn't he lovely? I'd happily take one just like him – or his pretty sister, who I saw at a schooling show in March.

I enjoyed the other mule article too, such fun, funny and talented creatures mules are. I can't for the life of me figure out why they are only allowed in the dressage ring. They usually are quite handy in the jumping department and I'm sure they are allowed in endurance events...

Oh my gosh... we could not get the whole thing to play, our service is so slow here... but I have never seen anything like this, and will try to watch on my lunch hour tomorrow. We have ALWAYS liked mules!

Have you seen the video of the camel doing dressage? Too much fun!

Yes, I've seen that one, Sue, but he didn't look like he was enjoying himself....
