Note: In this photo, I'm playing around with technique, whereby two photos were shot in quick succession on the one frame ( hence blending both images into one ), whilst trainer is taking the horse through a show maneuver. For those unfamiliar, the hind legs are slammed into the ground for a sudden stop / slide as shown more dramatically below.

From a full gallop this trained action enhances their maneuverability, which for mustering, makes these horses a smooth, yet more aggressive ride. The breeding of champions is a mega industry in the USA, with vast size ranches and lavish homesteads forged from the lifestyle. 

It's fabulous working it.
