Re: Fabulous video on what's wrong with dressage
Watching Ryeissa's link, I sure don't see lameness either.
I can see the horse not being to some people's taste, but, IMHO, there is also a lot to like about the horse's work.

Man that is the WORST.
My dogs get about 1 minute or less of random barking in the back yard before I'm after them. I HATE incessantly barking dogs. HATE it, it's noise pollution and there's no reason for it but laziness.
