Yes there are pictures and to the best of my knowledge Chevy is the only horse he has trained to what is considered Grand Prix but also to do some of the air movements. In his pictures, you can see how light he rides, even doing airs without a bridle! Peronace gives several clinics around the world every year so he must be doing something correctly! He has been working with my two horses and my mothers horses, and we will be at his clinic together in NJ in February[/QUOTE]
Kelly, the challenge with the pictures is that the horse is not through his back and his muscling shows that he is not ridden through his back most of the time. His topline should be more developed and he should not have that large underneck. So - doing the tricks is one thing but doing them with correct engagement is another. Light or heavy, they must sit and engage their core muscles. The pictures on the black horses look better - but those are not the ones he claims ownership to their training - hence the debate.
But thanks for weighing in. It is good to hear from someone with firsthand experience.
