Never mind the balance exercise (barn envy)

 There are many practical, educational reasons to watch this Beth Baumert video -- for starters, there is the horse, the exercise, and the rider's seat and position. But  I watched this video several times with no thought about learning a thing. How wonderful to hear the cicadas and the birds!  I can practically feel a warm breeze on my arm as I watch this ride. Beth rides in silence, and I know she is experiencing the spiritual feeling of solitary riding.  What a joy it must be to ride on that beautiful farm and to be allowed to school on the lawn :-). The horse is also my favorite shade of chestnut. Watch and enjoy!

    What a lovely pair. This horse makes it obvious why the term "round" is used, with his haunches nicely underneath him and his back coming up to meet his rider's seat.

    Thanks for posting this video. Beautiful rider and horse. What a nice neck. Also, what a beautiful property.

    That was a perfectly lovely video (she said as she knocked a layer of mud off of her boots and wondered if her horse would ever be clean again). Thank you for sharing.

    The setting is very pleasant, the horse and rider are calm and working together. I do have a concern that the horse is hyper-flexed at the throat latch.
