Dancing With Horses?
Hello,
This may seem like a stupid question but, what exactly do you mean when you say "dance with your horse?"

Hello Dani,
This is not a stupid question. It is a good one. When done gracefully and consciously, all movement can be a dance, even if one does not know how to do the steps. If any movement is done slowly and with attention to the movement, it is still a dance. Thus, each and every step with a horse done slowly, consciously and with attention, could be as a ballroom dance like a waltz, tango, or rumba. Simple leading forward a step, a stop, backing a step, turning...all the most basic movements can be as a dance with a horse if done precisely, consciously, slowly, fluidly....understand?
Sincerely, Franklin
