Saw a documentray on Australian cowboys´cow driving competition. First of all what a harmony between riders and horses, second to none! Secondly, what a difference to the Iberian celebration of sadism, in view of both performers and audience! These ambitious and in the same time humble guys in Australia, worlds apart from the vanity and careless harming of Torreros; and then the public. The people there show up with whole families as well, but for an atmosphere totally different from sick entertaining, and full of decency. The cows are being stressed somewhat when chased across the place, but then again you can see how the skills shown there after all serve to drive cows as perfectly and circumspect as it gets, and that at speed even. The ratio of action to intact being such an art there. The Australian example in every aspect appearing quite like the ideal counterpart to elsewhere´s archaic sloughtering. Thumbs up to that! Ruphus
