So ah, who thinks what is better, and why? Let us debate :o)

----------

before none of your printed idols do I bend in acquiescence, and he who saith "thou shalt" to me is my mortal foe.
When you come I sense your presence, I put my hand out in the air
A moment, then, we stand united, palm to palm while waiting there.
I miss you most upon each Samhain, when the boundary turns to sheer
We share these hours until the dawning, then bid farewell until next year.

Classical! It was much more throrough than dressage today because you actually had to know how to ride. Now-a-days we have too many doodads and gadgets to make the horse go into frame and to make the horse give a rider more impulsion rather than allowing the horse to develop his own pace. In classical dressage riders began on a lunge line with no stirrups and no hands to develop their own balance.

More will come to me as this post (hopefully) starts rolling.

I have a moderately powerful feeling that people won't really post replies that are debatable. I mean I know of a select few who will have good things to say but I imagine many folks on here either don't care or don't have enough knowledge to make sensible comments.

Aye, thats what I was afraid of... I remember back in the day I used to put up a debate of some sort like once a week and actually get semi articulate and well thought out responses... Quoth the raven, "nevermore!" XD

Ah! That quote from the Raven made your post seem so lively! And unfortunately true. Your brain must be like some sort of honeycomb that intelligently keeps very appropiate quotes ready at your disposal. But let's not get OT now...
