If you've ever had a relationship with a horse that is so close it trusts you to do all sorts of silly stuff, you will recognize the horse in the video is doing what it is doing because it is being ASKED not forced. Some horses and riders just plain old like eachother and work as a team.. That horse is part of a team.
you CAN abuse a horse, by breaking it's spirit - but it always shows. There's no way that horse was 'broken' in the way you suggest. The way it was carrying itself, and responding to its rider shows that, far from being a browbeaten slave, it was enjoying being part of the team. If you think that horses are stupid, you clearly know nothing about them.
@Tayyyy - if by 'very quiet' you mean a dozy plod - look again. Very bright - and VERY well trained.
@RoyCobden There's a fundamental difference between a horse and a car. A horse is a living being, a car is not. You cannot abuse a car, you can misuse it, but as it is not living, there is no abuse.
As for this video, I saw no abuse, only a very willing and well trained horse doing something pretty darned cool!
@najiwench You completely misunderstand me. I took exception the comment by @dickgl0ver who believes that "breaking" a horse means abusing it. It does not.
Breaking in a new car correctly requires being extra gentle & careful with it. Just as breaking a horse should be done.
The PROCESS of training it to accept tack & saddle & eventually rider is still called "breaking", regardless of whether it's being done by a sadistic, abusive hack or by a gentle, psychological "horse whisperer".
@dickgl0ver No, you gentle a horse, train it to accept direction. You CAN "break" it, but that is barbaric and old fashioned. Most modern trainers know how to work WITH the animals, and teach them rather than breaking them and forcing them.
Just when you thought there were no new sports in the equestrian world . . . ! Loved the "Cottoned-eyed-Joe" playing in the background! Being from Texas and all.
Okk, that horse is AWESOME. My horse would be so freaked out with a person following him like that. He would definitely need blinders... lol... we'd go pretty darn fast though!! hah

...and horses are stupid, @Divagirl - seriously? dont you have to 'break' a horse (aka - abuse) to get it to let you ride it?
dickgl0ver 1 year ago
@dickgl0ver
So when you break in your new car does that mean 'abuse it' to you as well?
There's no 'abuse' involved in breaking a horse by anyone who knows the first thing about it.
Anyone who does resort to abuse has no business pretending they know what they are doing.
