Thanks Sue, for the extra photos of Lorenzo and his horses.  What a treat.

Seems this video has made a real hit for Christmas - it's on nearly every list I read! Terrific!
And Lorenzo is just as impressive when you see him in person, which I've been lucky enough to do several times. He has visited the Lowther Driving Trials in Cumbria (England) at least three times and does two or three shows a day over the week-end. Yes, he does have amazing strength, skill and showmanship, but also a special relationship with the horses, which isn't just hype; for instance, he checks each of them over personally in the warm-up ring, including their shoes/studs. Some of the shows included the driving of six horses with different pairs going over different jumps; for some of the shows all the horses were entirely at liberty and only guided by the long slender sticks he carried. The high jumps over the bar, and the weaves through the brushwood "poles" and over sets of jumps happen in every show, several times over. And I took dozens of photos ...
Of course, it doesn't hurt at all that he is a handsome young man costumed by Yves St Laurent. You can imagine the screams from the adoring teenage female fans as he gallops round the arena; the response has absolutely nothing to do with the horses :-)
