Piaffe

The piaffe is a sort of trot in place.  You’ll notice that horse legs are kind’ve a theme in the dressage photos. I’m always amazed how those spindly things support such large animals!

View Through The Legs

The rider was actually posing for a picture with her blue ribbons. I decided to take a shot from the ground, a perspective most riders don’t see unless they’ve done something wrong!
