With the majority of Europe on lockdown because of the Corona crisis, a new social media couple challenge,, called #koalachallenge, has gone "viral" and has hit the dressage world.
With plenty of time for some fun, couples gets intimate in this challenge that also makes you crack up laughing!
Testing strength from one partner and flexibility from the other, this couple challenge involves some twisting and turning into three poses without being dropped to the floor.
