Interesting picture. I presume the horse is being made to trot in that very controlled style. I've always found it rather disturbing to watch. It seems so unnatural for the horse. What are your thoughts on this Paco?

@grouser: Well, I agree in part with you: I prefer see the free trotting or the galop, the fast running. But I like also all what a horse is able to do, and the Spanish art of equitation is very rich and diverse, even in the bullfigjht.
Thanks for your comment and opinion.

I can tell that this is a school for training horses in the Spanish style of trotting. Good shot Paco..!

tu as saisi une très belle attitude du cheval et de son cavalier. Les deux sont très nobles

Lastima de ese poste Paco. Se ve que la luz era muy dura, pero es un caballo :-))
Un abrazo.
