Icelandics and Interpretive Dance

What could be better than an Icelandic horse participating in an interpretive dance? Note the rider is using a neckring and riding bareback. Minutes 10:00 to 12:00 and the ending are especially affecting. Idunn the fiery chestnut knows she deserves that ovation.

Here is a translation from the Danish:
"Join us on a journey
Into the border between the divided and united,
Nature and culture, vulnerability and power.
This is the free land of motion,
Where body, sound and life meet, divide and show way.
Notice the chaos and individuality that makes
That harmony and cohesion can exist

Improvised multi-performance, inspired by the song
"If I disappear" by Freja Møller Kristiansen
Dance: Katja Døi Jensen and Mikael Hedegaard
Riding: Katrine Buur and Idunn fra Midgaard"
