I have seen that video before. Shawn Flarida is one of my idols. I can bet the horse he was riding is worth a TON more than the one I had in the OP. Plus, the horse in the OP probably is not open caliber..not enough "pizazz" like the horse Shawn is riding. The girl in the video I posted is probably trying to look like she's riding an open-caliber horse by throwing her hand forward and making it seem like the horse is just flying around, which it's obviously not, lol.

I'd much prefer to see people ride a reiner like Shawn does..obviously, his horse has no problems kicking it into high gear without Shawn touching her ears with his hand, hehe.
