We define horizontal diffusions in C1 path space over a Riemannian manifold
and prove their existence. In case the metric on the manifold is solution to
the forward Ricci flow, horizontal diffusion along Brownian motion is length
preserving. As application, we prove non-increasing properties in the
Monge-Kantorovich minimization problem for two probability measures
evoluting along the heat flow.
