Zip Me Impressive 2003 World's Best Appaloosa

[No1ToteBag]

This isn't trail in my mind. This is going down your really strangely laid out driveway to get the mail type of class. (I'm into competitive trail riding, lol) This stallion is gorgeous, but like apostlenkoda said: my Appy is definately the best! XD

[lovemyappaloosas]

My English mare by the hunter her dam is zipscriminallypretty and she is by zip me impressive

[imaQTreiner]

i can see myself doing that trail course and hitting alllll poles my 15.3 hand "Tailless Wonder Pony" is such a big klutz...but i still love her

[SuperHorseGirl22]

@appaloosas and rest of commenters, what color would u call him?

[appaloosas]

His papers say dark bay which he is, but most people call him black.

[appaloosas]

He is really dark bay, but everyone calls him black.

Thanks,

Bill

[mackenziefalls09876]

I LOVE Appaloosas, they are my favorite breed and that stallion is beautiful.

[MidnightEverAfter]

Awesome horse, stunning, smart and obedient! A horse that slow would drive me nuts! That is why I have a TWH!

Please check out my horse videos via my youtube page!

The Snow one has a few more tricks!

[sp0ttedp0ny330]

@MidnightEverAfter you should see him RUN!!! Zip is not just his name ;) the class he's in in this vid requires slow methodic movement...and oh btw...they do RACE Appys ;)

[95jenifer]

putain d'impréssionant !!!

its the best !! and the horse is very beautiful, OMG !!!

rescpect!!

[starburst443]

Zip Me Impressive is really Impressive. Beautiful Horse. =D

[MoNaZandAED]

Beautiful horse! I LOVEEE Appiesss!!! Hey, do you mind if I use this video in my Appaloosa video? I am trying to show everyone that Appies and POAs are just as good (if not better) than other horses, since they aren't judged fairly in shows. Let me know, thanks!

[appaloosas]

Sure spread the word!

[MoNaZandAED]

Thanks a bunch!

[TwistedTemptress]

This was an amazing video to watch. Even tho my preferred riding style is English, it is impossible to not be impressed by the sheer skill and horsemanship displayed here. Good job to the rider, and if its not him, then the trainer too. This horse is an amazing example of what people should be aiming for in all disciplines :)

[danxx3434]

nice job u must have been working 4 tht for ever

[COWGURL4LIFE11]

lol he could care less lol

[flagirlintx]

he is beautful

[ShockingHannaH]

wow. amazing

[MorganRichey08]

ohh gosh!

my appy is super terrible at trail:)

he makes my horse look stupid:) haha lol

[LoveMickeyOoO]

If I had tried this with my horse, I'd have had trouble fromt he start. For some reason, my horse has a fixation with eating anything purple.

This guy was amazing though, he did this beautifully and even the horse was beautiful. I <3 Apps.

[ltrocha]

nicely done.

good job.

[xSilverUnicorn]

Very well done! Excellent! And on a drop dead gorgeous stallion to boot! :D

It is always a pleasure to see such an "impressive" horse in action. :)

[apostlenkoda]

i beg to differ, i think my appy is the best.:D

but dont we all think are horses are the best?? lol great vid drop dead gorgeuos horse:D

good job<33

[park8rocks]

that is the best horse i have ever seen that was so worth whatching.

[dreamhorse54]

wow that was really good

[esj8341]

Nice

[RagazzaDelMarco]

Rider has beautiful, light gentle hands. Wonderful to see.

[tcooperent]

What a beautiful blanket on the Appy's rump! Very pleasing to the eyes to see such a lovely horse.

[LorenaHeitmann]

Hey i work for this guy. We don't have that horse anymore i don't believe.. I have never seen him in our barn :(

[bluehorses96]

tht pole bending waz very hard but you handeled it fairly well.

good job

[katey1dog]

He's not impressive, he's Amazing. Magnificent horse.

[violet2048]

Geeze! I was holding my breath. Awesome!

[lukelover6996]

Hi I'm gabrielle that has been emailing you about luke I love ur horses and zippy is so beautiful and good!

[shennatree]

that is honestly my dream horse :D i love appys

[sidmak00]

wow his name serves him right, what an impressive performance. quite complicated at the world level, it's amazing. the boxes get smaller, moves get more difficult, but he does a great job responding to your aids and being handy.

[EqFriends]

thank you for sharing this video!

[dutchnativeprincess]

My gosh such a beautifull horse! What a discapline!

[DressageFilly95]

Lol I love the jumping over the poles. He takes them like it's a bounce. I have an appy X qh cross. When he was a stallion (up to when he was 5) he was a championship cutting, halter and pleasure horse. I want to do more halter with him and do a little pleasure and barrel racing. I also do a little dressage, jumping and trial riding (like 2-4 hours) I would love to know how to get him to slow down his lope like your horse does. Mine has a slow jog but lopes kinda quickly. Any tips?

[hillcrestequine]

I own this horses half Brother CBH Sundown Shadow AKA Boomer Apps are the best

[Middershins]

OMG, this is sooooooo sloooooow. Neither me nor my horses have the patience for something like this, and we all hack (trail ride is the american word for hack)

[bleau535]

so was this horse world champion trail horse?

[appaloosas]

No actually he was 6th this year. He has been as high as third at the world show in trail. He was worlds best appaloosa a couple years later.

[iluvappys]

i abso love appys... i have one of my own...

[boxlikeboxes]

Hi what are they like im looking to get one are the good at jumping and ebglish riding style ? ...a part from the fact that they are horses

[MissLovettsHorse]

You can pretty much have them in any discipline, they do make excellent english style horses, next to barrel racing :)

[ViraTehFreak]

Me and my Appy are barrel racers and western pleasurers.

I prefer to use Appys as western, such as Quarterhorses, but some do English.

[MoonlightsMiss]

they are amazing at all discaplines along with a garentie to catch the eyes of judges with that snazy coat, they have wonderful unique personalities!! and will love you forever, my appy loves me like i was is girl!! heck i am!! xD lol

[Appaloosa1248]

its beutiful i love appaloosas i want my own apaloosa

[lovemeandmeanit]

a nother of my fav. horses!

[bahadrah13]

this horse is sooo calm...wow..my mare would be like WTF IS THAT!!! OMG IT MOOVES TOO....she would be gonee

[horseluver1409]

my appaloosa gelding is the same way he would be like heck with this im out!

[paintedstables]

Beautiful Appy

[SerenitySora]

I have an Appaloosa. Looks alot like this one too!

[imelro]

my horse looks like that his name is oreo and hes 4

[WarmbloodJumper]

hes cute but GOD I HATE WESTERN!!! too slow...

[Wispercreek]

Yes, it can be slow at times.

[imelro]

AT TIMES!

[imelro]

noo way watern is fast depends on what wester sport uve seen

[SerenitySora]

I agree this slow, but it's not bad. I actually compete in western competitions, but I don't do this. I barrel race. And that's pretty fast.

[Flicker312]

western isnt always slow it was you want your horse to do i mean i have a Qh who rides english adn western and she is never slow unless she has been worked a while but what can i say she is only 3 but i ride western doing barrels and ride english jumping 2 foot

[Horselvr139]

Not all Western is slow, next time look up some more Western Sports before posting something so naive...

[rebelupsomedust]

haha look at barrel racin and u'll get some

speed

[CowgirlUp711Style]

i got a horse thts a full brother to him :]

[appaloosas]

Really? His dam died after he was born. Please email me a picture I would love to know more about him.

Bill

[jawbreaker90210]

*yawn* i would never ride like that on the trail, just saying. he's a gorgeous boy though.

[GothicTrioOfEdwards]

I want it T__T

[xbreakingfreex7]

one of the best western pleasure horses i've ever seen!

[flashback57]

Beautifully done,awesome horse and rider. Long trail class,we would be there all day with our 4H kids,lol. Nice job!

[lovegeneral11]

nice horse!

trail look like a fun class

I have never done (my horse is no where near ready for a trail class!) but it looks fun!

[Mazaskazi]

Beautiful appy. Well bred. However, I have never understood what the show circuit(western pleasure class, etc.) finds so appealing about that peanut roller headset and a walk so slow that the horse looks as if it will tip over. Nice job, though.

[Jrad963]

The point of it is that the horse looks pleasurey (thats not a word, I know) If you ever look at the hunter horses, they kinda look excited all the time because their heads are up and what not..but for western the horse is supposed to look very calm, which they do.

[Taliaa070]

saddleseat would be a good example for excited horses lol

[fiasjrocn]

very nice job! :) :) :) :)

[horseridinggrl54]

beautiful appy!.. very slow tho, lol!

[NnMsmom]

Beautiful Appy. He's my favorite type--blanket. What a wonderful job you two did. He looks like a great ride.

Just curious if it really is his real tail. A friend of mine has a Quarter Horse whose tail is kind of thin, and sews an extention in for halter and conformation classes.

There's nothing wrong with a real Appy's scraggly tail! It's one of the things that makes the breed unique, along with the spots, mottled skin, etc.

[appaloosas]

Thank you for your nice comments about Zip! Yes, his tail is all real. He tends to put a luxurious tail and mane on his offspring.

[maisey0wildhorses]

nice buddy, is that u riding?

xoxo western Riders

[LyraStormy]

Lol, give me a good oldfashioned english ridden cob an day!

[xxxxxvally4everxxxxx]

Amazing! Realy...

What an awesome horse and probably a fantastic trainer!

beautifull

[appyallova]

jawbreaker90210, you obviosly dont know how long it takes to train any horse to do that! try it someday. wow! that turn on the forehand was brilliant! im teaching my appys 2 do that! did you see the loose rein? all the time! his bending was good. and that zig-zag bending? very Impressive! great lope. thats side pass around corner, perfect! great tail too, DreaminDun, ur right!

[DreaminDun]

Gorgeous App, stunning blanket. & No rat tail either! lol

Perfect Lope & Jog! Nice & Calm, very well done! He was trained great!

[Sverre101]

Wow! That was/is truly impressive.

[Okie2424]

He's a beautiful Appy, and it's nice to see that he doesn't have the typical, scraggly tail that most appys have. Excellent vid. He's very colorful, too. Beautiful blanket.

[GallopBarbaro]

isn't he in Impress Me Shannon's bloodline?

[appaloosas]

Nope, not that horse. But thanks for taking the time to watch the video! You can see more of Zip at our web site.

[GallopBarbaro]

[renniepatricia]

Aww he's so cute :)

[metallimies]

God... That's my goal. Maybe some day

[jawbreaker90210]
