During training the horse must be relaxed at all times. One characteristic natural movement of the Andalusian horse is to throw it's forelegs in an outward arc before putting its hooves to the ground. This movement makes the horse look as if it is doing ballet. In Spain, this action is greatly appreciated, while in England it is frowned upon. However, it is a very unusual movement and generally appreciated by those who like this breed.
