"I didn't want to make just another how-to video"            - Paul Belasik

         
 
 
The Lost Quixotes, a forty-eight minute documentary film was designed to help riders across all disciplines connect the works of the old masters on collection to state- of-the-art bio-mechanical research. The cameras take you inside the McPhail Center, the renowned bio-mechanical laboratory for sport horses at Michigan State University, to look at an experiment that, for the first time in history, measured the forces of the levade.

A beautifully shot section along the Atlantic coast, at Assategue Island National Park contains an enthralling piece on wild horse behavior and its ramifications for the domestic horse owner.

"I didn't want to make just another how-to video," says Belasik. “It is my hope that this visually unique DVD may shed some light on the increasingly tense schism between competition and classical dressage.” Featured are the exercises that are the common ground of both, in an engaging film that should have appeal far beyond specialist riders.
