After all, the truth is sometimes stranger than fiction -- and a real life dancing horse beats a fictional talking horse. I was amazed to see the elaborate venue set up for this horse.The audience was dressed as if they were attending an Opera,and the venue was beautifully decorated with an orchestraplaying on the stage. Then out comes Brentina, the dancing horse and main attraction.I watched mesmerized as the horse started dancing as soon as theorchestra started playing. They were in perfect harmony with each other. The horse timed her dance moves perfectly and gracefullyto match every beautiful note the orchestra was playing.Not only was this horse dancing, but it was like watching animal ballet. My "yeah right!" turned into "wow!" as I watched this perfectlyorchestrated performance featuring a combination I neverexpected to see...a horse and beautiful, graceful dancing.
