What draws us to this animal?
This beast of flight and prey
What is it that enthralls us?
Makes us need them every day.
For me it is their beauty
And their undeniable power
Their Grace, their style and poise
In every second, every hour.
(excerpted from Why the Horse by Guy McLean)
“He’s amazing.” says Lori Kaminski, President/CEO of Dressage at Devon, “His horses trust him so much he can ride them through fire – literally! He also orchestrates a team of four horses to move in synch using no bridles, no saddles and no whips or spurs. This is a true partnership that will amaze equestrian professionals and spectators alike.”
“Guy McLean’s exhibition is a wonderful addition Dressage at Devon,” continued Kaminski. “Having Guy and his team on the schedule – along with performance classes, wonderful shopping and great food – will truly add to the spectator’s experience this year.”
