I wonder what would happen if I tried to categorize this under Transportation. It's not false!

Yesterday evening my mom, brother (~Ockham5 ) and I went to see the Royal Lipizzaners performing in my hometown. The light conditions were... interesting. Directly into an evening sun. Very flattering for the horses. So I'm happy with how this boy's mane is lit up (I spent most of the show trying to capture that well).

This was a very cool pawing motion. He'd rear back - I believe the 45-degree angle makes it a "levade" in dressage - and swat at the air surprisingly quickly. I loved learning the [possible] history of the moves they knew. They may have been used in the military, at least in training if not on the battlefield.

The framing could be better; I was focusing on the horse as the subject, not the human, but the crop changes that a little and I tried to work with it - because I had to crop out a very distracting bit of house on the right side. Cropping seems to have been my bane of late.
