That stallion’s butt was so low in his piaffes that he was almost dragging it on the footing. THAT was a piaffe!

Glad to see I’m not alone. Right now I’m on a little teensy TB with about 0 suspension, so getting on an Iberian I’m sure would blow my socks off.

Fuego is splendid. I am a bit biased, with a Lusitano mare myself, but if you’ve never ridden an Iberian you need to find one somewhere to try. It will blow your socks off. They are SO smart and SO smooth. When I get on my CWB mare after I’ve just gotten off my Lusitano, I can see how the Lusitano has me spoiled.
