Most of my readers know that I’ve got a thing for the strange & unusual, and this video fulfills that very nicely. It’s a very artsy look at the horse using imagery and a variety of digital media.
The Unknown
The caption under the video says: “A dialogue between equestrian theater and digital art.” What does that mean? I have no idea. Do I like it? I’m not really sure. I think it is trying to tell the story of mankind’s relationship with the equine animal, but that end bit leaves me feeling a bit unsettled.

Opinions?
I know it’s art and that makes it very subjective in nature – everyone will interpret it based on their own personal experience and perceptions. That said, what did everyone else think? I’d love to hear how you interpreted it in the comments below.
I thought this was a great video to share, Paige. I think I get it. Any horse performing in response to human requests is theater in a grand fashion. The way they integrated digital imagery was interesting, at least to me. As for the end, the sound was ominous, as is probably appropriate relative to common perception as it seemed to reflect the racing industry. Probably gets more of a bad rap than it deserves as the horses I’ve encountered started right for the early career (started under saddle patiently and responsively, they easily transition to another) are hard-wired to race and love it (in the right hands, of course).
Thanks for sharing this one. How do you find these clips?
