A rhythmic, two beat trot on the spot performed by a horse at the Grand Prix level of dressage. This movement represents years of training and preparation on the part of horse and rider and is the epitome of grace and balance. The best Grand Prix horses do not advance forward even a single inch. (Want to see it? YouTube search for Valegro or Damon Hill.) It is the grace and balance of the Grand Prix horse that I seek when I write.
