This stuff was so awesome because horses don't actually dance. They may
look like they're dancing, but each thing that horse did was the result
of a command given by the rider. And you couldn't even see him do it.

Aiight, Aiight. I shared it with a horse person friend of mine and she
explained what was so fabulous about it and scolded me to high heaven.
Sheesh :)

I get it, I get it, I get it.
