WOW!! I am TOTALLY impressed! A camel's gait is nothing like a horses so not only did they have to teach the camel dressage moves, but they had to start with the basics. And if you think a mule has a mind of it's own....
I learned to ride them 10 years ago. I am far from an expert rider - but I learned enough. Riding one at the walk is a bit like sitting on a washer during the spin cycle LOL! Never rode one at a full run, but poetry in motion watch! Amazing animals!

Ummm, so what size trailer would you need for a camel? "A-really-really-warm-blood" size? ;D

LOL! Actually, maybe not so much. Camel would probably fold up it's legs and snooze. Of course, they can't duck too much to get on with those big humps!

I, too, was so moved by that camel, as well as the horse who was so comfortable dancing alongside him. Here is another lovely dressage video: www.youtube.com/watch?v=vrYOQ52U3LQNot a camel, but also not what you expect to see in dressage. I love the way both disciplines are honored. It is so interesting to see not only the difference in the horses, but in the riders. |
