After viewing some of the Arabian dancing horses, or should I say, train wrecks, this video was quite refreshing to watch. This horse clearly loves his work. And what endurance!
@inkydums why issnt there any video of you uploaded on this awesome horse? O.o if i would get to see him everyday i would make video's! :D hes so pretty
I used to love these Jinny and Shantih pony books, way overwritten but Shantih was this chestnut Arab fire horse with four high whites and a blaze...he reminds me of that fairytale horse from my imagination! He is a magnificent animal, this is more beautiful than all the fancy polished stallion services advertisment videos. What a horse!
He is the most amazing horse I have ever saw in my life.My daughter Ashbash think 'how can horses dance like that mamma?' I told her 'It's Just the way it was Trained.' But this one me and her gives a Thumbs up!!!:3
@RWYHunterJumperDPSG He was shown in Arabian Sport Horse Dressage and is several times National Champion, thanks to all of the training that Equidancer put on him.
@RWYHunterJumperDPSG He was shown all the way to Grand Prix by Hilda Gurney. He just turned 32 the other day, and is still flirting with all the ladies. :)
He's 30 going on 31!! And yes he's happily retired next to his buddies and he basically lives a very relaxed life. He could use more turnout time but he chills out all day in his stall anyway!
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
i'm so glad i have not seen any "animal abuse" comments! getting really sick of that $)#%! Every video i look at has some animal abuse comment. however, this vid is lame. good training but lame!
he is so cute, in spanic walk, he always makes 3 steps before lifting another foot^^ that is so sweet^^ but collected canter-piaffe- collected canter transitions are pretty difficult... i LOVE his passage^^
keep in mind that as a three-year-old she's just a baby. I usually make my arab walk in circles when she bucks and then ask her for the gait again. but with her, if I'm at all harsh with her she gets stressed out and then nothing gets done.
i make my mare do circles alot and i go into a stubble field to train her and there are grid marks where the tractors have been so i do serpintines and things up and down the grooves to make it interesting for her. but wen i first got her she wasnt even supposed to b the one i was supposed to get but i ended up keeping her and im glad i did.
incredible how amazin i want this horse!!! its soo cute at 1.47 and it must b reli well trained to rear on command, its like a dog!! "paw, bow, beg, etc." how can he get his horse to do tht??!!!so beautiful! imagine it was bein riddien it would be world shampion for dressage thtrs for sure!!
how do u meen how? how is it so cute at 1.47 do u meen? cause its pawing at the ground wen asked 2 its sweet ^^ and i wonder if horses do like cookies? maybe thts ware all my snacks hav gone! haha no thye havnt gone anywhere its just a joke =D
oh rite, i suppose u do bribe them sort of but wen ur ridin a horse and ur train it 2 canter u dont bribe it to do tht, there r different ways to train a horse i like my method ^^, u give and take. if a horse is bad to take away its freedom of hed. if good then i give it its hed and let it hav a little fun. give and take. but everyone has different methods my method works for me best it mite not work for other people
This is spectacular! Notice how the handler only uses the whip properly, as a third hand, never as a weapon. For those farther below who think arabs are hotheaded or flat nuts.......Wrong! They are the most intelligent horses GOD ever created, spirited and strong, proud yes....but If one understands thier language (respect).....they will do Anything if asked properly and, they do enjoy performing.... They know thier awesome beauty :)
Cal Darado has two sons in our barn. One of them was the Palomino that used to dance with Cal "Go for the Gold" and spike is going to Nationals this year.
haha "friends don't let friends ride quarter horses"
You know there is a reason quarter horses are called peanut rollers... A lope takes more muscle tone and power to execute yes.... But an Arabian holds it's head high because it isn't embarrassed that it isn't allowed to run ;)
Quarter horses and not dull. As I assume you have never been around them before. I agree some arabians a hot-headed and some arent. It is in the personality of the horse.
Arabians are not hot-headed! They are brilliant and spirited, not dull like Quarter Horses. And I think Arabians are the ideal horse to have because they can do everything! Learn before you judge.
So you're complaining that someone else is 'judging' the Arabian breed unfairly - but then you openly 'judge' all QH's to be dull in the same sentence?
Can you say, hypocrite??!! I think you should mind your own judgements and practice what you preach.
Each breed to their own. They all have their own unique qualities.
these horses are just BEAUTIFUL, but i would never get one because they are known to be hot-headed. [yes i know some are not, but most of the ones i know, and have seen are basically nuts]
You show your ignorance. They are smart and hot and if you are qualified you can handle and figure them out. Hot headed and nuts are stupid terms just shows your lack of knowledge. Ought not to voice opinion until you are further educated.
WOW hes really is enjoying himself there! never knew you could do dressage on the floor if thats what you want to call it.!!!!! beautiful horse as well, !!!
Love "my" Arabian Horses, Love Arabian Horses! The training that went into this horse is unimaginable, however, they are so darn smart and willing if trained properly. Spring is almost here. Can't wait, have a gelding that is so gifted, really getting "THE bug".
Gorgeous Horse Performer! that performance seemed so effortless. Wow, I wish I could do that with my gelding! but he's 20, and I am just learning to ride western right now.
I have a 21-year-old Arab gelding. He's an -ex Dressage school master. I even got him to piaffe with me before he was retired into a school pony/trail pony.
Hehe :) He's absolutely gorgeous! And those moves are like breath-taking :O ! I'm guessing he has some crabbet in him since he's a little stalker than most Arabians o.o Nonetheless utterly beautiful :)
Let's see this would be the late 90's. Orginal video is good but I haven't mastered the compressed quality required for web so I do good sometimes, others not so much.
That is probably one of the most gorgeous horses I have ever seen he is very talented as well, and the moves are natural like when he was kicking out his feet foals do that when they want milk I have seen pictures of a foal doing that to his mother because she was lieing down :D
What an amazing horse but ther is no need to stick up for them saying its un natural and not necessary, surely if the horses didn't like it they would object and misbehave or even just refuse to do these things. Dressage is a sport that is done all over the world, if its not necessary then whats the point of all these cometitions?
Be nice to the foundation of most((or all??)) horses!! jkjk I LOVE arabians I wish my mare would hold her tail there but she only does it when shes in hyper... or in heat....lol
What were they bred for??? Pulling plows? Pulling heavy carts? War? What would you rather see them do? If he didn't want to do it he wouldn't. That person is close to his back legs.
they were actually used in war by the arabians, and they pulled greek carriages and are normally used across deserts as an edurance horse. So they have alot of uses =]
Arabs can be used in most sports and as hobbie horses. They rearly reach the high classes of dressage (all thoug it do happends!) and show jumping, but they are fun horses!! And they are really smart, and often easy to train.
very nice, unfortuneatly I think bigger breeds I don't like arabs :( but this one looks spectacular, even if they do hold their tail up ridicously high lol
Arabians have a igh tail carriage because they have 16 dorsal vertabrease instead of 18 like all other horse breeds, so their tail is attached much higher on the croup. and apparently they can't bring it down whe they run so wehter they hold it higher or not is up to them XD
Nice video. Dressage moves are indeed entirely natural, even things like kneeling have been seen in the wild (young horses biting at each other's legs when playing, for example) or the spanish walk (though in separate steps).
Fantastic video-thanks for sharing.What a gorgeous arab (arent they all!). He's more than welcome to retire in my garden-he would make wonderful eye candy!
What you are seeing is called a passage, the most natural free movement of a horse. Of course this is compacted and performed on cue a very, very difficult movement to train especially on a small Arabian. He is very talented individual. He is a cutie isn't he. He is now 24 years old and lives quiet and peacefully
Every movement in dressage is a natural movement that horses will do not only in captivity, but in the wild. Though they do need to be trained to do it on command, this is a well known fact, something only a novice would be unaware of.
