horses

Soledad (our neighbor) is back from Croatia and we had an adventure of The Camarague (the ranching part of Provence and Nimes). We went to see her friend's horse training center. That does not come close to describing the place... They teach the horses to perform and put on shows with the horses around the world similar to Cirque du Soleil Cavalia.

We met the lead trainer as he was demonstrating how to command the horses without bridals or ropes. If you have any interest in horses go the the website -you can see a video of the kind of show that they put on. They describe it as Renaissance equestrian art..kind of Euro but nevertheless impressive. Also here is a you tube link
