Can a horse skate?

This question came up on another thread. I didn't want to interrupt a serious discussion -- BUT -- this pair does a pretty good side-by-side spin, plus a nice pairs spiral.

This was from the 2016 Vaujany Gala (thread). Winnie_20 and I had a discussion about this when it was broadcast on Eurosport, starting here:

Bearing in mind that Winnie is a horsey person, and actually does dressage, that she was so impressed says a lot about just how good this act was.

At the end of the video, Catherine Whittaker mentions that Eurosport will also be showing their second routine of the night. So, here it is:

Line BONNET / Yann VAILLE / Fikingo the HORSE

For something else unusual, here is another routine from the same Gala:

Anaïs VENTARD / Tom BARRER, FRA

I miss Eurosport showing coverage of these special Galas over the festive period.

Huh. I definitely thought it was all in jest.

Remarkable performances....but, please, riders, lengthen the reins when show is over... those necks/backs need a rest..
