Summary: Great great documentary.
This is a well-researched documentary about the Spanish purebred horse, lovingly photographed by director Francisco Javier Fernandez Bordonada.
It covers the history of this magnificent animal from its ancient origins in the Iberian peninsula to its reputation today as both an elegant show horse and also a sturdy, reliable workhorse for army and law enforcement agencies.
The story is told through a series of interviews with historians, breeders and trainers, veterinarians, riders, the creator of an equestrian show and an Olympic dressage champion. Their deep affection for this intelligent, biddable yet spirited breed is obvious.
The director is an experienced Spanish photographer and his use of light and location is exquisite.
