The gifs to go with letters-from-the-sea's post

This is the same horse and rider pair from that gif I reblogged the other day, of the super smooth, light tempi changes. I think lightness is just the best way to describe this pair- Ahlerich is full of energy, you can really see it in every step, yet he remains light, relaxed and supple. Just look at his bright expression! Dressage needs to go back to this.
