That's Alizee Froment. She's a really lovely rider and trainer. She does a lot of liberty work, but also competes successfully.

quite charming, actually. Such a lovely picture, the sweet expression of the horse, her lovely outfit, the harmony. I think it has a dream vibe that each of us would wish to experience

Thanks blob I did not recognize her though I’ve seen some of her work. The only thing I’ve seen more incredible is the Parelli instructor getting one times completely at liberty while on her motorized cart.

Hoopoe exactly. Such connection

The liberty one times are at the end of the video

It's part of her act. She does a lot of liberty exhibition work, and it usually has an ethereal feeling to it. She's really inspirational, I've been following her for a long time.

I don't follow her on facebook, but I do on instagram and there she mostly posts training videos in very normal clothing--breeches, boots, sweaters for both her riding work and her liberty work. I know she does performance stuff as well, but she doesn't post a lot of that at least not on instagram.

I enjoy those equestrian shows. I saw Cavalia twice and would love to see Cavaluna which is the show part of the Valenca
team participates in.

I also got to audit Frédérique Pignon and Magdali a few years ago who started Cavalia. They both were awesome. Yes the outfits can be a bit cheesey at times. It’s theater. Magdali is a very serious dressage rider having won French championships more than once. Frédérique is just amazing one I would audit over and over again.

I gave also been to the medieval times and throughly enjoyed the show. Those horses handle some serious noise in the stadium!

khall did you ever see Cheval Theatre? I actually much preferred it over Cavalia.

I really liked the linked FB video. So often with liberty horses there seems to be a lot of ear pining and tail swishing, none of that here :)
I think the dress adds to the effect, and it's probably got some weight to it, kudos to her.
