Look. Heart. Courage. Temperament. Attitude. Brains. Their gorgeous movement. The works. I am particularly crazy for Lusitanos. I am having to do all my riding in my mind lately, so I'm really grateful for all the videos of them.
I finally watched the Olympic dressage finals the other night. When Rubi was working I was yelling and cheering and pounding my desk. GORGEOUS! The only other horse that impressed me nearly as much was Fuego. Very hard to look at the other horses after Portugal and Spain come in and dazzle like that.
