I wonder how you teach your horse to work with fire fans? I can imagine that there could be some nasty burns if something went wrong. Still, it’s quite dramatic.
Oh my goodness, that was fantasic. I wonder how long it takes to teach a horse to concentrate and not react,primarily to the shooting flames. Very dramatic and very well ridden.
Her body control was magnificent. The reins were attached to a strap around her waist and the horse was wearing a curb. When I watched the video, mostly I was thinking about the potential for a nasty accident. If she had fallen off, the poor horse would have had her full weight on his mouth. No helmet either.
That’s the Spanish Horse, they’ll walk through fire for you…and apparently ride WITH fire for you. Amazing!
I admit it’s amazing, totally amazing.
And all I could think was: “I hope to God she is not wearing hairspray.” and “If you wired this horse’s heart rate, what would you find underneath that apparently calm exterior?”
That said, I sure couldn’t ride like that!
