2003 End-of-the-Year Fun Shots

Thursday December 25, 2003: Hair Everywhere

It is still a peculiar sight to see Andalusians in a warmblood dominated dressage world. Not only do their looks make them stand out from the sleek warmblood sport horses, but their movements are also quite different. Excelling in the piaffe and passage, but having major difficulties with the extended trot, Andalusians have a tough time facing their competition.

Nevertheless, these white masters of the Real Escuela in Jerez de la Frontera have proven to stand a chance in the ring, as they won the team bronze medal at the 2002 World Equestrian Games. Pictured right is Ignacio Rambla schooling his licensed stallion Granadero. What struck me in this photo was the "hair everywhere"
