This is Toulouse-Lautrec's interpretation/opinion of a Spanish Walk. And he was quite "artistic" from what I understand. Note how true he stayed to the standard of no hips swaying from side to side, and hocks well under. Because he chose to interpret a standard for personal reason, I suggest he trashed the Spanish Walk. The Spanish walk is a basic movement. It is advised that it should take a year to develop a proper Spanish walk. I suggest if you have your animal "trained" and booked for 7 months you have short changed more then the Spanish walk, and you may be right, who needs a standard. As long as they are lined up around the corner to buy a ticket.
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.
