Liberty Demo with Amelia

Liberty Demo with Two Horses
Dan moves on to working with two palomino horses, Vanilla Ice and Spider Pig. These two were stunt doubles on the TV show Heartland. As they start to work, the horses get into a similar rhythm and start to work in tandem. He also shows them working in opposite directions.
