Rollkur- Rescued pony submits!

Thor put on his own mini dressage display today!

He performed a levade, a sort of crab-like piaffe and then tucked his head into his chest in true Rollkur fashion for 10..................20.................no wait!..............25 seconds! (I think that he may have had a resident tick or horse-fly on his chest)

Granted, this was liberty dressage (no Dutch or Danish riders on board), some might call it free-style rodeo.... but has that little pony got style?!

I offered to introduce him to the training method with a top class instructor, and he kicked up his heels and said " Thankyou Ma'am...... but I'm really happy as I am!"

Damn, there goes my shot at fame!
