Welcome the Alice's video blog ~ Tip for the Ride. This segment features an exercise that Alice recommends both on the ground and in the saddle to help stretch, lengthen, and relax your horse in preparation for a great ride. She calls it the "Bolero", in that it is similar to a bullfighter using his cape to draw the bull forward with feel, rhythm, timing, and balance. The energy level is a bit different between what we are looking for in the horse, and what the bullfighter may be experiencing, but the lightness, focus, and ability to achieve 'feel' are most likely similar!
