Gear shifting on horseback

Art video. I am riding my Percheron cross, Theo. The spurs were only used in this video to communicate the information that I was asking the horse to move forward. Obviously spurs are used much more subtlety than I demonstrate here, but that would not be obvious to the non-horse people and professor in my art video class, so I exaggerated it.

nice i like the part with the shadow, sometimes i look at the shadow to see how me and my horse looks.

ahhh people chill. In higher level dressage they REQUIRE you to wear spurs. She was not abusing this horse, obviously she loves him. Did you see any durt clods on him? any green spots? nope, why? because she loves him and cares for him. The only way to keep a horse healty is to give it a job. she is riding him and his job is to go forward. Spurs are an artificial aide. Get over it.

As stated in the description, she said she IS over using spurs, just to make it obvious for non-horesy people ;)
