[AlejandraHCortez]

I wan't a man like that!!!!!

[SmallvilleFanatic600]

horses**

[Grasse1993]

these two knew they can win

[CookieCrumbs31]

My horses can't do that xD

[TheEyert]

poor horses !!

[CookieCrumbs31]

@TheEyert What's wrong with em??

[danceandmusicislife]

I don't want to imagine what these horses went through to do these things ...

[LouBlueable]

@danceandmusicislife What do you mean? Were you being ironic there? :P

[SmallvilleFanatic600]

@danceandmusicislife

Look up Double Dan Horsemanship and you can see what these horses "went through". Trust me these horses were not abused, just trained well!

If you consider this bad then you may want to stay away from major show barns.

[danceandmusicislife]

@SmallvilleFanatic600

I really hope that they train them with respect and not with cruelty and I am pretty sure that they do, however many animals are tortured just for people to show off their "skills" and this is sad! ...

[alisonclaree]

@danceandmusicislife look at how comfortable and relaxed the horses are, they weren't taught with cruely

[SmallvilleFanatic600]

@danceandmusicislife

Actually they were NOT tortured in their training. Again I would look in to the topic of Natural Horsemanship before commenting on such matters. Also I would look up Double Dan Horsemanship before making assumptions. You could become liable for defamation. They are also now on tour. They use some of the nicest training techniques. Don't attack anyone on a "pretty sure" basis. Know your facts before hand.

[danceandmusicislife]

@SmallvilleFanatic600

Okay i'm really sorry cause I was probably misunderstood.. on my previous comment when i said i am pretty sure they do I meant : I am pretty sure they do train them with love and respect and not cruelty... I didnt mean to make any assumptions but really you should calm down. And sorry, but you are the one attacking here...:p

ps. sorry for my english im greek.

[andy9306]

@danceandmusicislife Your English was perfectly understandable and clear. Some people just have poor reading comprehension.

[danceandmusicislife]

@andy9306

Thanks :)

[SmallvilleFanatic600]

@danceandmusicislife

First, I am not upset. Just stating that before making assumptions you should have the proper facts to back up what you are saying. Especially when questioning someone’s character. Second, I never said you were attacking anyone. Defamation and attacking someone verbally are two completely different things. However, I am not attacking you either. Just pointing out the flaws in your so called “logic”...

[SmallvilleFanatic600]

@danceandmusicislife

Yes some animals are abused to perform (such as in a circus), however with these two and many other horsemen this isn’t the case. These horses are highly and well trained performance horses, and they “perform” out of mutual understanding and respect for their trainers/handlers. Not out of fear. So this in fact is not sad, and why you would state it as such is beyond me. Are you not against people abusing their animals to make them perform?...

[SmallvilleFanatic600]

@danceandmusicislife

If so, then the example these two just set of what can be achieved through mutual understanding and respect should not been seen as “sad”, but if fact should be viewed as inspirational and beautiful.

[SmallvilleFanatic600]

@SmallvilleFanatic600

but in fact**

[usukker]

i didnt get it

[adhara93]

this is so sad... it's not natural for horses to do all that stupid things :(

[chicopolevault11]

@adhara93 your ignorant if you knew anthing about horses you would understand how much trust it takes for a horse to be able to do that. and im guessing you have never seen horses playing in a field or rolling in the dirt.

[beannababy12]

@adhara93 its not cruel and it doesn't matter of it natural, everything we do everyday is unnatural, if the horse does that with all that trust with out any problem m, you can tell the horse s well treated and taken care of.

[SmallvilleFanatic600]

@adhara93

Horses (prey) and humans (predator) are not natural either. Yet we still ride them. That isn't natural.

This isn't sad. This is great training, and if you looked up the Double Dans training methods you would know that. They uses great training methods, and methods that are not cruel. I would do more research before commenting. This situation may not be natural, but those horse's movements are. Go to a field with horses and watch them. Maybe you shall gain some perspective.

[livelife1Dxxxx]

OMG i am teaching my horse tricks i have got to say she is amazing at it but i dont think we will ever be as good as that but heyy dare to dream right

[traydub25]

[bukketje]

[HonorEver]

poor horses :/

[addy2346]

short performance but interesting

[desdes24]

im against training animals to perform for people. just like u're forcing them to do something they don't wanna do for food. animals are for you to love and dote on. although its a sort of entertainment it bring happiness to people but i feel like they are abusing them =(

[BoomerMyBaby]

@desdes24 What???? Horses are 1,000 pound animals, trust me they are not being forced. If they didnt want to do this, they wouldnt. Theses horses are well fed and get rewards but are in no way forced. Do you know what kind of trust and bond these people have with there horses? Those horses would do anything for them, and and the owners would do anytning for them. Please understand that these horses are in no way mistreated, and have a kind of their own.

[dogsrule747]

they move on but there aren't any videos WHERE R THEY grrrrrrr I've bin looking 4 a while

[Kayarox97939]

[undertaker343]

[thewildmustang91]

@undertaker343 And tell me, how do you this? Do you know what horsemanship means? This is bond. A horse can kill anyone in a few seconds. So

[Lgw1984]

Is that English?

[TheTwilightPerla]

is like a fucking big dog! O.O'

[UttorkatBad]

@TheTwilightPerla NO IT IS NOT!!!

[Tyannalyn]

@TheTwilightPerla LOL

[stinkypants10]

@dbd619 @dbd619 You are totally right; it's obvious to anyone with eyes the guy is f**kin' with the horse 0:53-1:02.

[mscutie00000]

i feel sorry for the horses :(

[56FIFTYUP]

this only happens in australia

[Meliikans]

@Blaideris Actually the guys do... considering they would have trained them!!

[Meliikans]

@DenizeM Let us see you train a horse to do that and perform...

[tokiettina91]

stupid uman!

[BoothnBrennanYO]

@dbd619 Contact me when you have lived on a farm with over 300 horse....

[DenzieM]

that was really shit

[kakodatikazem1]

ovi bolje da se prijavili za emisiju konji imaju talenat...............

[xxnatuurfreakxx]

het is zielig :( het lijkt mooi maar dat is het niet!

[TesselAndSybil]

@xxnatuurfreakxx dat is het niet. Dit is (waarschijnlijk) met de clicker getraind, waar niks zieligs aan is. De paarden zien er helemaal relaxed uit en totaal niet gestrest. Ook zien ze er niet uit of ze het niet leuk vinden. Geef me een reden waarom dit zielig is?

[clparton17]

fair play thats cool !!!

[bravedog2]

there"s Australia's Got Talent! There should be a China's got talent then Rusia got talent

[sgljc]

@bravedog2 China's Got Talent and Russia's Got Talent already exist. :) Pretty much every country has it. :P

[MsLittleDiamonds]

[devolutionone]

[Blaideris]

[JochemTjeea]

[sathan503]

Hey Australia, do you mind if we borrow your female judge in America? We already took Simon from the UK.

[Unstapables]

tho horses were high thats why they were so relaxt :))

[LegendarySilverWolf]

Awesome <3 horses

[DubstepLikeABo55]

THey are raping the fucking horses



[Meliikans]

@DubstepLikeABo55 Oh yeah totally -_-

[dbd619]

0:50 if you are watching closely you can see the guy is pushing the horse leg with his leg

[BoothnBrennanYO]

@dbd619 You cant put a horse leg right out, the horse is doing it....... have you ever been aorund trained horse ?

[stinkypants10]

@BoothnBrennanYO Have you ever been around a spelling class? Or how about an eye exam? Watch 0:53-1:02 and learn; the a-hole manipulates the horse's leg for "comedy."

[bidefordrfc]

@stinkypants10

Well look at it from the other side, horses don't speak our language, therefore he needs some way to communicate, this could be down to a gentle squeeze on the horses front leg... ever think of that?!??

As someone else said if the horse didn't enjoy it, it wouldn't do it! It is given way to much freedom (i.e its not tied down) to be participating in something it doesn't want to do!

[Jayjee123]

i just realized how smart horses are

[1121ander]

why was that man sitting on the horse wi'll he was on his back D: that looked retarded -_- it was like"wtf?" O_0

[LookAtThatBigNameYo]

u r gonna see what i could do to you with that training shitheads

[khakim5]

to jest genialne nie wiem dlaczego w Polsce nik nie chce przyjść i pokazać co potrafi on i jego koń, bo to tak naprawde wszystko zależy od jeźdzca ;)

tyle mam do powiedzenia i mam nadzieje że kiedyś przyjde do Polskiego Mam Talent razem z moim koniem ;P

[MsShopaholic4life]

thats kinda mean to do to the horses...

[bunny1rabbit]

@MsShopaholic4life mean? it's like training a dog. these horses do not mind, as they do some of this stuff, surprisingly, in their normal day-to-day life.

[Meliikans]

@MsShopaholic4life If the horse didn't like it, it wouldn't be co-operating

[MrYahya0101]

the best part of this was 1:45

[BillysOtherAccount]

I'm British. Did these guys get far?

[gSamitooo]

Ha! now i must learn how to ride my dog....damn it.....

[Idababe02]

omg its all been seen before,, and better,, duurh but cute horses

[MrTroedels]

@Pirategiirl94 Why do you feel bad?? they have osm owners and you can see that there are treated wel.

[Pirategiirl94]

I feel bad for the horses!

[Meliikans]

@Pirategiirl94 If the horses didn't like it they wouldn't co-operate. simple. This is probably part of a daily training regime...

[GoFastStudios]

Australia is just the best parts of England and America combined! same goes for Canada!

[lovebird0930]

LIKE A BOSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[david1991rules4life]

[HorsesRcul]

chestnut horse: "dude get outta my spot light!"

bay horse: "I'm tired can we leave yet?"

[Shadow24334]

poor horses! awwww i feel bad

[horsecrazychic558]

@Shadow24334 y? lots of horses like to compete and those horse were having fun, they were well looked after and the guys must love them and spend time to teach them tricks like what they did here

[Shadow24334]

poor horsies!

[Krasnodarka]

That was JUST AMAZING!!!

[25serife]

dude dont give them drugs!

[templarknight94]

@Gemizarr Horses roll naturally rather a lot, one of my horses rolls every time he enters his stable, every time he enters his field, every time he's had a bath, every time he is untacked xD

[KittyForTheWin]

Those are beautiful horses, those two men must be wonderful horsemen. I can't imagine how they'd get a horse to sit or roll over. Horses are really smart though.

[templarknight94]

@KittyForTheWin It's very easy if you have the right horse, I've taught plenty to do stuff like sitting, lying down, rolling over, rearing, bowing, copying my movements (if I walk sideways, my horse will too), all kinds of stuff like that xD But, to get them to do it whilst being so relaxed in an environment like that, isn't so easy.

[KittyForTheWin]

@templarknight94 I could never even dream about teaching the Standardbred racehorses I'm used to to do that. I think it would be rather interesting to try and train a horse like a dog.

Referring to having a couple thousand people cheering at them while they're onstage with bright lights in an unfamiliar environment, that is what would require the amazing horsemanship I mentioned. ^ -3-

[templarknight94]

@KittyForTheWin Lol! Highly strung, much? The Standies, I mean...never worked with a Standie racehorse before, but I have worked with OTTBs. One of them, Dante, is a stallion I trained to do tricks like this. The others are almost all rescues-a TB x Hanovarian stallion, a Hanovarian stallion, two Akhal Teke stallions, an Arabian stallion, a Lusitano stallion and a Welsh x Arab stallion.

[templarknight94]

@KittyForTheWin Sorry, had to split it up :/ Sadly, I can't lay claim to having had a couple thousand people cheering at them onstage in bright lights, but I can say that they have all performed in front of many people at shows, some of the horses with fire and other things. But what those blokes did on stage with the bright lights and the cheering crowd, is incredible :)

@templarknight94 I could just imagine my cousin's little Standie mare Dusty onstage, she'd just knock over those cowboys and run away. They're extremely high strung and twitchy all the time until they get to be about 14 xD
