Belleza, an 11yr old P.R.E. (Andalusian) mare, is just beginning her piaffe and passage training. Shown here with former head trainer for the American owned Lipizzan Satllions, Matt McLaughlin. At the time of this video he had worked with her 8-10 times on these movements. Naturally she is slightly tense and not very rhythmical...yet. I will follow up in a few weeks time with an update.
Matt worked with her a few more times, you can see how she's progressing. If you're interested in ordering the 2 disc DVD instructional, please email me at info@camelotandalusi ans.com.
As the former head trainer of the Lipizzan Stallion Show, Matt McLaughlin has taught literally hundreds of horses and their handlers how to take a bow. This is a sample from his new instructional DVD.

Magnificent copper bay stallion, imported from Spain. He's a true 17h. The finest bloodlines anywhere, the greatest natural ability and a horse that truly takes your breath away.
"One of the most stunning Pure Spanish Horses in the world today."
My first dressage freestyle. Music from the movie, Shall We Dance? Video made only so I could put the music to it. Obviously the riding isn't perfect and not how I would ride it at a show - I'm posting the extended trot and I'm still a beginner amateur.
*The questions in the annotations are meant for my trainer, Matt McLaughlin, to answer.
