I access your blog regularly because I admire your writing. Today when it started loading up the first thing that showed was the little video window with Stacy Westfall's name -- I thought I'd hit the wrong link! I know of her through my reading about horsemanship.<BR/><BR/>And as for your question -- all of us whose hearts beat faster when we see a horse already knew how moving such a performance could be, but I still cried -- sobbed -- watching it. Breathtaking to see that kind of oneness between horse and human.<BR/><BR/>It was the counterpoint to another spectacular horse and rider performance that was circulating on the internet last year -- a freestyle performance at a championship-level dressage competition, set to music and one of the most beautiful things I'd ever witnessed. The horse danced.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for sharing this, Angie.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13498449.post-2966569919768351842008-02-20T10:16:00.000-05:002008-02-20T10:16:00.000-05:00Sniff.It made my day.Sniff.<BR/><BR/>It made my day.Kathryn Mackelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13992591424066879847noreply@blogger.com
