Anyone who has been coached by me has heard me talk of Couscous, my hackney x ID. He has been the most wonderful teacher for me and now for some of my students. He gives you nothing for free. He has done countless demos both liberty and ridden whilst I organised for Ken and I won't forget the day I took him to the paradressage talent spotting competition in 2009. He knows how to show off to the crowd! It still amazes me how he transforms from his natural, awkward, donkey-like appearance and attitude to a graceful, powerful, giving athlete simply by connecting and by being ridden correctly. |
