Un buh libabur

Got this link off Shirz.

It's amazing.

Just when I was thinking there wasn't much to horse riding (we just went again on the weekend), and we've watched good horsemanship at the rodeo, this performance completely redefines my understanding of what's possible in a human-horse relationship.



(in case you're wondering what the title means. that's what "unbelievable" sounds like when your speech has been stunned in amazement :D)

(also, in case you're wondering what's so amazing about a girl riding a horse and doing some tricks. #1 she's bareback. It's not easy to stay up on the horse without a saddle. #2 there're no reins which you would normally use to control a horse. If you're still struggling for an equivalent, it's a bit like sitting on a overturned canoe with a paintbrush as a steering wheel)
