Often dressage is compared to a dance, with few examples showing such harmony between the horse and rider that you see only the art and none of the work.
This beautiful dance can serve as a reminder for us that the best connection isn't gained through force, domination and fighting. It's achieved by keeping your riding simple, calm and relaxed.

It is nice when the horse is built for the task.
Still wearing spurs though….
I can’t quite discern what he is doing with the whip and at that angle?
I often prefer to ride with the whip upright too, it allows you to completely disengage its use until you want to signal to the horse with it. Looks like he is just turning the wrist so the whip can be seen by the horse to indicate with it during the changes.
Nice! Shows what can be done!
