Mexican Dancing Horses........

Hello! 100 lessons completed 150 lessons completed 200 lessons completed

I was wondering if Mr.Roberts has had any real influence in Mexico yet? I was watching some horrible youtube vids with average Mexican horsemen whipping their horses whilst tied between vertical poles to make them "dance"which is more or less an ugly fast piaffre.I know it is important for them to show off during their fiestas,part of their culture I suppose ...
Could the Uni have some classes on teaching extreme airs without violence?I know piaffre is usually taught with a whip,but there are people teaching it without pain.If it could be shown how to train a horse to "dance",willingly,maybe the Mexican horsemen would comply.Many thanks for everything.
