Imagining a Horse Ballet

Asher is in second grade this year and we just started reading the book entitled White Stallion of Lipizza by Marguerite Henry.
It's a great book with some tough imagery that really stretches your mind. Trying to imagine horse dancing ballet can be a little difficult. I like that it makes my kids think about something that seems just crazy and impossible. I let Asher ponder on what I was reading. Trying to figure out what exactly these horses were doing. Trying to envision the room they danced in with flags and chandeliers.

Today I searched "youtube" and found a great video of these horses dancing. It is just amazing to watch. It's neat to actually see the pictures your mind has been drawing come to life. Enjoy!
