I never much liked horses, cows have always been a great deal more appealing to me somehow.
It struck me that dressage riders aren't really being pushed to their limits - surely an elegant trot and canter half-pass on a thoroughbred Lipizzaner is going to be a doddle compared to doing it on a two-ton
Friesian.
It would also be nice to see cowboys and cowgirls acting with their beasts rather than against them.
A canter piroutte ought to be within the reach of the average Jersey, more complex manouvers such as the croupade might be left to more agile cattle such as Corriente.
Dressage? What's that?

It's horse riding for show-offs. [wagster, Sep 01 2009]

I always thought it would be interesting to teach a horse (or cow...) to do the dressage routine on its own, without a rider. The judges would be so confused! (In fact, any horse competition would be funny without a rider - racing, cross-country, fox hunting.) |
|
| |
In my experience, cattle do not have the brainpower to learn any reasonable sort of choreography. A more suitable animal is the camel [link]. |
|
| |
Passage and Piaffe are ideal for making butter, too |

I voted against, don't think its even remotely possible |

I voted for, don't think its even remotely possible but worth a try! |

I've always wanted to build a pyramid of living cows, balancing on each other's backs like cheerleaders. Cowgirls acting with their breasts! ...excellent idea[+] |
|
| |
You did pretty well building a non-living cow. |
|
| |
I'm assuming the cow would wear something in a floral pattern? |
|
| |
//Cowgirls acting with their breasts//
What, you've never seen the Dallas Cowboy cheerleaders in action? |
|
| |
I've always thought that elk had dressage potential. I have ridden bareback on a Belgian, but a dressage rider I am not. |
|
| |
Would the rider be a Bovalier? |
|
| |
I googled that word, struck out, came back here to ask you (wtf?), and figured it out looking at your anno again. |
|
| |
I have seen a photo of a girl riding a bull cross country, with a bar through his nose for a bit, but she wasn't making him do flying lead changes. |
|

Brings a whole new meaning to the word "dainty". I'll
give you a bun, but I'm not sure why. Must be the
visuals. (doesn't jutta's link kind of bake this?) |
|
| |
I would think more like preheat. I think to bake something you have to do it, not just fantasize. |
|

[normzone] What //Bovalier//?
I made it up. But figured along the lines that a Cavalier rides horses "Cavalry" (//French cavalerie, from Italian cavalleria, from cavaliere, cavalier, from Old Italian; see cavalier.]// Linky) and cattle are Bovine - Thus Bo-prefix |
|
| |
Yeah, I got there starting from chevalier and bovine. But you had me thinking I was about to learn something new at first. |
|
| |
Maybe 'boefier', to use a French rather than Latin base, would be a better analogue for 'cavalier'. The Latin would be more like bovarius. |
|
| |
<sings> This is the dawning of the age of Bovariuuuus - Bo-var-iii-uuuuuuuuusss... |
|
| |
Heh [norm], to me they are the same. |
|
| |
[jutta] - That's *exactly* what I had in mind. |
|
| |
Cavalier [French, horseman, from Old Italian cavaliere, from Late Latin caballrius, from Latin caballus, horse.] is a mounted soldier or a knight. |
|
| |
Chevalier [Middle English chevaler, from Old French chevalier, from Late Latin caballrius, horseman; see cavalier.] means horseman but when used as a title it is equivalent to a knight. |
|
| |
I have enough experience to be a horseman, but I have not been knighted. I don't speak any french either. |
|
| |
There must be french equestrian equivalent term(s) for cowboy, rider, hacker, trail rider, etc. |
|
| |
I like your Canage link.
[wags] B...But... that's bull! |
