It is also a horse with extreme musculature and training, to ba able to move like that.
Reminds me of classical European horsemanship of the baroque age, where horses where trained that way, in order to be nimble in close combat with the sword and pike.
My wife's old horse is baroque trained, even at age 29 he can move like you won't belive.
As for the bullfighting, it is a cultural thing.
Back when I raised young bulls for meat, I once did a survey.
I told them all they had two choices:
One , they could live a life of leasure with a bunch of other bulls, up in the grass lands of the high country of Spain for 3-4 years. Then go in the ring, suffer for ½ hour and have a shot at killing a matador.
Second, they could grow up in a feed lot, standing around, knee deep in their own shit for 3-4 years, being fed hormones and grain, then get trucked to a meat plant, killed and ground into hamburgers.
Not many stood up and said, I*ll take number two, plesae.
Bullfighting doesn't bother me at all. Compared to the institutionalized large scale mistreatment of animals in poultry, pig and cattle "farming" aroung here, it doesn't even count.
