Richard Weiss talks about dressage:
“Although dressage performance, the sport, is closely related to ballet in that every movement must be adhered to according to the test, training is an entirely improvised form.”“Every movement, every nuance of every movement has a particular expression in both the body of the horse and the body of the rider. Elements of balance from rhythm, bend and impulsion all need to be clearly expressed in the body of the rider so the horse can follow them seamlessly.”

Erna Valdivia has made history as the first African American teenage girl to compete in the prestigious Tevis Cup, a grueling one-day, 100-mile endurance race through the Sierra Nevada, riding a horse that her mother saved from dire circumstances.
Erna, 17, expressed her astonishment with a chuckle and a shake of her head. "It's both physically and emotionally demanding, but she is exceptional," Valdivia remarked, gently stroking "Love Story," the mare rescued by her mother, who operates the Love This Horse Equine Rescue in Mojave.

The white mare was destined for slaughter before her rescue. Initially timid and difficult to approach, she formed a remarkable bond with Erna, who eventually took to riding her.

It’s like having a car that knows its way home.

Long toe and low heels are indeed an epidemic.
