While most people won’t agree with the treatment of animals in this race, the same thing could easily be said about most modern equestrian sports. This one comes steeped in tradition and is a part of equestrian history. Episode four chronicles day four of the race and by this time many riders have fallen out of the race. There are only 15 riders left and a better chance of winning but the horses, hot temperatures and rough terrain are taking there toll on everyone.

Emma Massingale Synchronicity Horses

Today’s video is a different one and one that really shows just how gentle and intelligent horses can be. Emma Massingale is clearly a horse whisperer as she commands a whole arena full!

Simply Gentle

It is interesting to watch someone command the attention of multiple horses at once. She uses the horses herd mentality to become their leader and they take the passive roles without any argument – they look quite happy to have a strong leader.

Horse Rock the City

This is an interesting equine/dance performance that combines the noble horse with a variety of different types of dance.

Unique Balance

Many of us have seen equestrian performances whether online or in person, but this one is slightly different. I like the variety of dance types used and the unique selections they used and the fact that the animal parts were simple and untaxing. The video isn’t the best quality, but it’s an interesting watch.

The Four Riders

The Four Riders is a four channel video installation that deconstructs the equine anatomy into landscapes of moving flesh. Of course the theme is the four riders of the apocalypse, but it’s beautifully shot and edited.

Scary Inspiration

Inspired by the apocalyptic atmosphere in Durer’s Four Horseman woodcut as well as by Eadweard Muybridge’s study of animal movement, this work places the horse in a contemporary context by staging the wild and grotesque next to the restrained and elegant.
