Not all Dressage is equal and she is doing a variation of Cowboy Dressage. For starters, in Dressage, it is the rider who acknowledges the judge with a bow of the head; it is NOT the horse who bows! LOL And there are numerous other differences such as laying down or walking along in step with a human. It's a cute video, to be sure, just not the real thing in case one is interested in Classical Dressage training for a Haflinger.
You may need to copy and paste to see this duo:

This video gives a more accurate demo of what Classical Dressage is all about (just so no one is mis-informed about the very clear differences). If you don't give a flip, then don't sweat it; if you do care about the correctness of a training method, then you now can see the difference. Different strokes for different folks, right?
Judy in NE TN (you can also search youtube for **Nayborly** and find a Haflinger performing a Classical passage among other Classical movements.)
Disclaimer: Don't anyone get their knickers in a wad and think this is about any one individual! It's about clarifying potentially confusing INFORMATION, in case any reader is interested!
