Re: [RC] collected tail swing vs. wringing - Amber Roberts

Okay, the mare in the video is collected and her tail is
swinging. Tails swing when a horse is collected.
Tail wringing is different and it is a sign of resistance; for
whatever reason - physical or mental.
The mare did not win because they made a fairly good size
mistake.
Anky won because she was technically correct throughout her
ride. However, her horse was much stiffer and nowhere near as
spectacular.
I watched and enjoyed both those videos. The mare looked to me like
she was having a wonderful time. However, having the music actually
choreographed to the foot falls of the other horse was thrilling to
me. I couldn't get the music or the mental picture of that horse
moving in rhythm with the music out of my mind for hours later.
