Sorry for the jargon Katie! A pas de deux (pa day do) is a test performed by 2 horses where they mirror each other's movements. It's a rather amazing thing to watch, very harmonious and beautiful -- if all goes well.
Lily (I always want to call her Lucy for my old, much loved mare) and Megan were trotting around me side by side in a perfect circle even though I had nothing to control them other than my voice. It was purely a fluke that they were synchronized, but they often trot around me like I'm lunging them if I ask them to at liberty. It's much easier than chasing them all over the paddock trying to get them to trot or canter so I can see their movement.
I feel like a bad mom today with all the rain, but hopefully they have the sense to stay warm and dry in their shelter.
