News Release: “Adam’s Wall” Breakthrough Susan Mullally Knapp is an award winning journalist who has worked in television, print and public relations. (CELINA, TX) -- The communications breakthrough known as "Adam's wall" – the barrier between us and animals – has been breached in Celina, Texas.  At least, it seems to come down when you watch Jennifer Jones and the Danish warmblood horse Reggae strut across the arena at Legacy Equestrian Center. Jones, a U.S. Dressage Federation silver and bronze medalist, is at work for her gold medal. Her handsome steed, Reggae, prances skillfully, stamping his forelegs in the most elegant manner while his muscular hind surges forward with perfect control. The irony of sheer power combined with lightness and grace makes the sport of dressage fascinating. Dressage has been described as ballet for horses. Spectacular movements include: Piaffe, a highly collected elevated trot in place; Passage, the suspended trot in slow motion; Pirouette, a rhythmic turning in place at the walk and canter; Half Pass, a forward and sideways movement at the trot or canter where the horse crosses his legs; and Flying Change, a skipping type movement at the canter where the horse changes his leading leg every fourth, third, second and finally every stride.
