Piaffe?!

This link from Wikipedia is obviously not me (or my horse) but the animation is a Piaffe, where the horse performs a collected trot pretty much in place.

I rode Music Man yesterday...and he knows how to do this!  Frankly, it was the most exillerating experience I've had on a horse since riding cross country eight years ago.  What fun!

Now I can start focusing on my position, since Music Man apparently can handle himself.

Thanks again to SG, Trish, and Gail for convincing me to ride him.  What a great experience!
