[RC] 4-beat Galloping In! No Hands on Reins - Barb Peck

I'm watching on a computer at work (my home computer's a dog).

For those of you that couldn't watch- 

The riding abilities of the first 3 across the finish line was amazing, They 
were perfectly centered and in balance and in sync with the cadence of their 
horses (ground covering) lope - was beautiful to watch.  They are all superb 
riders-  

1st place Spanish rider dropped his reins - held both arms straight out from 
his body (sort of like a kid playing airplane), and bowed (slightly to the 
right and then to the left) in sync with every stride the horse took - 

Then 2 wonem on greys (I think they were the 2 french 2nd & 3rd)  also dropped 
their reins at ground covering lope and held their arm up in a victory salute...

No tired riders hampering their horses for these 3- they were SO in sync with 
their horses.
We are looking at world class riders for sure.
