A Blog designed for discussion of topics related to, but not limited to, Circus, Zoos, Animal Training, and Animal Welfare/Husbandry. Sometimes opening up the dialog is the best starting point of all. And if for nothing else when people who agree and don't agree, get together and start discussing it, it will open up a lot of peoples minds. Debate and discussion even amongst themselves opens a window where there wasn't one before.

Dianne - Was this taken on the Lipizzan Show?
Jeannie
Not a very good "break down". The rider is styling before the horse has completely gone down. one to ten gets a "5".
Jeannie, bingo! In fact the very first year. This was Espanero, very exciting, fiery stallion. Funny as we showed his front feet were slipping on the red carpet in this breakdown picture. There was nothing I could do being on homosote, eventually his breakdown became a curtsy and then he would tilt his head a bit and look at the audience. It was a real crowd pleaser as the audience always liked the personality touches coming from the horses. Just another case of the result of working on unsuitable turf.
John, better a 5 breakdown than a minus on collection and seat I saw on a video of yours. At least I know my weak points and strive to correct them, you on the other hand want to believe you are the final judge on high school. There is a reason the breakdown was this way and whatever you want to believe all horses don't do a breakdown in the same manner, it has a great deal to do with conformation and turf. In this case I was on slippery homosote and the horse's front feet would slide. In any case it didn't make a different because he didn't slide in the rest of his work and he was outstanding in passage and piaffe.
