Apologies in advance to Merlin Mann for copping a double feel on his blog today but this video is too good to pass.
I didn’t even know we were training horses to dance, much less they could perform like this. The clip is from the 2006 World Equestrian Games Grand Prix Freestyle Dressage, featuring the horse known in human tongue as Blue Hors Matine and his/her(?) rider Andreas Helgstrand.
Meanwhile horses everywhere scoff at the idea of being “trained” to dance, knowing full well how they throw down when no people are watching.

I do have to say that was pretty amazing… Although, the song choice of “Lady Marmalade” was quite risque. I half-expected the horse to begin losing the gear, if you know what I mean.
Wow, that was so cool! Really makes you smile when you watch this wonderful performance. Great, gorgeous horse and wonderful handing by the rider. Thanks so much for the show!
D: No I don’t know what you mean. I think you should explain in detail.
