Pleasantly surprised to learn that paralympic dressage has higher standards than olympic dressage

I thought I saw some hyperflexion in the last trot, but slowing it down, it looks more like the horse just lost his balance for a moment and tried to catch himself

It's like a breath of fresh air compared to the all the tense trots I've gotten used to seeing

The "Medici Riccardi Horse Head"

An extraordinary bronze sculpture of the head of a horse, which dates to the second half of the fourth century BC.

During the Renaissance Donatello used this as a model for his works, as did Leonardo da Vinci.  The head was once part of a full statue of a horse, but the body of the horse has been lost to history.

Cast bronze, once guilded.

Statuette of a horse, Greece, late 2nd - 1st century BC, bronze, MET.

[worldhistoryfacts]

The "Jockey of Artemision," a life-size bronze Greek statue of a boy riding a horse dating to around 140 BCE. It's rare to find bronze statues so large -- most of them were melted down at some point because of the value of the metal. This one survived because it sank in a shipwreck, only to be discovered in the 1920s.

Three Bronze Phalarae from the Melksham Hoard, Wiltshire Museum, Devizes

The three bronze discs were likely imported and potentially served as decorative parts of a horse harness. As a votive item, they were intentionally stabbed before being buried.
