When there are horses participating in a competition, it reminds me a little of modelling. For example, the Lipizzaner horses are the most famous breed for doing a competition called dressage. The dressage competition includes, highly controlled stylized jumps and other movements known as the "airs above the ground". When a horse is commanded to do movements such as the levade or courbette it is striving for the perfection of the pose similar to what a model does. Moreover, horses get various hairstyles done to enhance their looks and performance, just like models do before a photo shoot. Horses get their manes and tails braided in many different ways. Also, horses wear various accessories such as ribbons through their braids, battle armour, or decorated saddles for many types of occasions and competitions. This all reminds me of modelling because of how they try to perform the perfect and flawless "pose" in different backgrounds and areas along with their given accessories. It is interesting how two seemingly different things, in this case models and performing horses, can actually be very similar.
