Jorge has joined the FB EE group!

Awesome; as if the horse and rider are one.  I have watched it several times and am astonished at the stillness.  Quite inspiring.

However do other observers think that his use of the spur is a bit 'sharp'?  (i.e. the action not the spurs themselves.)

Where did my comment go?  I normally only get moderated for saying norty things not nice things 

I think its about the best riding Ive ever seen.
Ok obviously I would like to take the spurs off and the bridle away and all that but still ..... 

[Heather]

You havent been modded, Sarah. I have had a few ask where their comments went so reckon they went into cyberspace when we had the software hitch when Andy was upgrading!

Phew

O/T Sarah but I keep looking at that portrait of Lottie in your sig and expecting her to walk out of the screen! It is truly brilliant! Have you always been able to draw and have just taken it up again, or is this some new found skill?

[issywizz]

Lol! thanks Heather 

I could always sketch but I only recently learnt how to 'work' graphite and also what paper to use to produce the results I want. 
I just bought a book by Mike Sibley as reccomended to me on the art forum and its brilliant, some of these folk are incredible 

Staying totally OT, have a look at this;

Its whats called 'hyper realism' . I dont intend going quite that far mind you 

[intouch]

That is SCAREY!!

Heather, what a fabulous demo. Why don't we see examples of this on the competition circuit? It puts most of these people to shame. It was pure magic and just goes to confirm that with time, patience and correct training it really is possible to dance with your horse in complete harmony. Inspiring. Thank you for showing this.
Yvonne.
