Dressage is massive in Isarn.

 

Could be the National Sport in fact.

Hilarious!

Congratulations Princess and the other team members.

 

My first wife, first fiancee, and two former GFs were all competitive horse riders. All four suffered bad accidents - badly broken leg that never really healed across the shin; badly broken and scarred arm; broken back that forced early retirement; and badly crushed pelvis, back and leg which resulted in several years treatment and life changes.

 

It's really not as easy and graceful as these skilled horse women make it look. Hat's off to them!
