Oh boys...

My Flight of the Conchords Season 1 DVD set* arrived yesterday. YAY.

I put the first disk in and then proceeded to dance around my kitchen while making tea because just the theme song fills me with GLEE.

*Ordered before all of this shenanigans. Not that anyone should feel like they shouldn't buy DVDs.

So, come next summer (or even earlier, depending), when OMG THE INSANITY* calms down or is over, I am taking up horseback riding again. LA has one of the best Equestrian centers in the US, and I don't care how much it costs, I've been wanting to do this for years and have let other matters take precedence. But once I'm finished with grad school and feel like I can allow myself other pursuits, I am going to start horseback riding again.

Anyway, I was checking out some you tube clips of Dressage. Check out this lovely horse (this was last year) *dancing*. His name is Blue Hors Matine! hee!!.

Also, Salinero and Anky Van Grunsven, from the same competition. Dude, ON THE BEAT. awesome.

I'm not sure I'll take up Dressage, but to dance like that, how amazing.

*This is more my life I'm referring to, not so much the strike, which is as well organized as a thing like this could be, considering most of it is last minute.

Hey, if you do, I know a terrific teacher in Simi. She shows dressage herself and raises Arabians. Gorgeous critters.
Good luck - sounds very fun, indeed.

My sister does dressage (she has two California Morgans, tho one is ancient and unrideable). We went to Tempel Farms to see the Lipizzans when we were kids and she got hooked. I also laugehd when I watch Ladyhawke cos the horse is dancing...
