Lipizzaner Stallion - Mounted Capriole

Here a Lipizzaner Stallion does a mounted capriole. This was the second one so it's not as high or as fancy, but you can get the idea of what a capriole is... a movement in which the horse jumps up with its forelegs well drawn in, kicks out with its hind legs in a horizontal position in the air, and then lands again on the same spot.

This was the second one this young stallion had done that night, so it certainly didn't have the "oomf" the first attempt did... he had done quite well on the first attempt. This was also one of the youngest stallions to have been considered masterful enough of it to perform. So all in all, not the best example of a Mounted Capriole, but the only one I captured on video...

This was in Victoria, BC. I was so excited that they came since Victoria doesn't attract the same amount of shows that Vancouver does... but they did come and it was awesome!!

And yeah, there was a "Baby", who was progressing faster than they usually do, and was the youngest on tour.

This move is so awesome. I can't imagine training that much! These horses and riders work very hard. They have my respect cause I sure as heck can't do that.

That is incredible.... he is so elegant!! Great move!

i thought the rider was considerate to the horse, he seemed to recognise what a big ask it was, not as good as what they can do inhand but the horse tried for him

[IANT68]

Not a good one

[bonnie448]

sorry this is horrible, the rider has stirrups, which means he is not a "Spanish Riding School" Lipizzan at all, the footing is atrocious, no one with real horse knowledge would be riding on that footing.
