[mawazhere13]

Wow for a first time jumper thats amazing!!! even for an experienced horse that would be good

[carpentergrp]

@mawazhere13

He's so confident he can do anything you ask of him - he never hesitates. Khat trusts me completely. He's one in a million!

[rebamac96]

Amazing horse

[bethchops]

this is his first time!! wow he's brilliant he jumps them with ease! he's got tonnes of potential and has a pretty head. what are you planning on doing with him and wel done!!

[fruitytooty18]

nice horse

[cucistuff]

Wow!

[huntereventer]

wow this is the first time he has seen a jump?

thats amazing...

[carpentergrp]

Yes this is 100% of the video, totally unedited and no trial jumps before starting the video. You can see him trying to figure it out. We kept raising the jumps to see his athletic tendencies for jumping and he NEVER REFUSED. I didn't push it by raising the jumps too high. Khat went way too fast but again this is his first time seeing and going over any kind of jump. He really seemed to enjoy himself.

[showjumpinluv]

haha yeah he did! he was FLYIN'! but he was still gorgeous doin it

[caligirl20112011]

hes really cute even though he does jump a little flat.... it will change because he is still a baby, right?

[meine1990]

I've got a Trakehner too but he's just doing dressage, and when he's whole readdy than i can teach him jumping..=) look at my movie, that's my Trakehner,

this horse has a beautifull jump!

I love this movie!! <3

[ADAMdespisesYOU]

he is SO BEAUTIFUL!!!!

he handled his first jumps great!

he jumps a bit flat though..

[carpentergrp]

Thanks. Khat might be a better jumper if I spent any time with him jumping. He has always been a dressage horse...he moves SO GREAT! He was awarded Horse of the Year 2006 so he is exceptional at dressage. Yes, he is beautiful and has a PERFECT temperament, kind and always sweet.

[itsahorseything]

Wow he's gorgeous! Who cares if he's going "too fast"! It's his firt time guys, give him a break! Beautiful stallion! You're very lucky!

[carpentergrp]

THANK YOU, THANK YOU FOR SAYING THAT. It's about time.  AT LEAST YOU HAVE READ ABOUT HIM HERE AND UNDERSTAND WHAT'S GOING ON. WOW, I really appreciate your comment. Yes, I am very lucky! Khat is wonderful.

[lgsthunder]

She said too flat, not fast. I agree but he's great for a dressage horse! Good job!

[rooktoking92]

Nice horse...work on slowing him down though. Are you planning to jummp him under saddle too?

[carpentergrp]

Khat is my dressage horse and only dressage. He was USDF Horse of the Year All Breed Award Winner in 2006 and USEF Region Horse of the Year in 2006f. This was his very first time ever seeing a jump and we just wanted to see if he had any talent or tendencies to jump. He had never even gone over any cavaletti before this. Khat's brave and figured it out...alittle fast but he jumped honestly.

[lovewins07]

amazing horse

i can just imagine what the people in the cars are thinking.'hey, did you see that!?'

*a horse head pops up and then down* lol

[morgierules]

sorry that didnt make much sense I had 2 shorten it coz it was over 500 letter lol! just 2 many nice things 2 say!

[morgierules]

breathtaking. Arabs are not just a horse. There is something about them. Your horse is beautiful. Very keen and FANTASTIC at jumping! Ibecause he stretches out so much! So sweet! He can fly and it doesn't really matter if he rushes to the jump if he finds that an easy way to do it then thats the right way to jump it I guess! Stunning! I love it how he is just walking at the beginning then rushes forwards really fast! He is one of the most beautiful horses I have ever seen!

[carpentergrp]

I'm so glad that you like him. In addition to be a showring star, he is cuddly and sensitive. Even the grooms and stall cleaners love him. He is expressive and kind. Thanks.

[JackaCrack1]

I think I liked the little gray Vanity? better I liked how she just seeemed to put her whole heart into it and I liked how she tucked her knees too!

[carpentergrp]

Yes, I can see why you liked Desert Vanity ("Diva") & thanks for the compliment. She is a FANTASTIC jumper, and another one of my babies.  Khat, my stallion, on the other hand LOVES dressage, his heart is really in that. He won USEF & United States Dressage Federation Horse of the Year All Breed Award in 2006 for the entire United States. Desert Vanity was bored with dressage. It's interesting to see their different personalities show their distinct passions and aptitudes.

[djb7706]

why do you horses go so fast when they free jump ? lol

[carpentergrp]

This is their first time ever free jumping or jumping at all, the first time ever even going over a pole or cavaletti. When they figure it out they LEARN to go slower. You can teach them to go as SLOW as you want, but first to need to see IF they WILL jump at all. They loved the experience and had fun!

[stewieiscool222]

Very graceful horse, just flys over the jumps!

[sparkelgurl]

OH MY GOD! you can tell he wants to jump and is good at it, excellet horse!

[carpentergrp]

Thanks for the compliment. Maybe after his dressage career I will start jumping him.  Somewhere in there I plan to start breeding him.

[windmillstablesroxs]

too fast he could be a great jumper or hunter more of jumper

[JumperChamp]

Teach the horse to slow down, instead of rushing every jump!

[carpentergrp]

This was the very first time he had seen a jump, ever! He'd never seen cavalleti either. I wanted to see if he had any natural jumping ability...this is how you find out before you spend a lot of money on training. He likes jumping but won 2006 Horse of the Year Award from USDF and USEF in dressage.

[FlynnBridget]

I have, and he looks beautiful! Sadly, I do not have a daughter by either Magnum Psyche or Afire Bey V, but I do wish you luck with this stallion! =]

[carpentergrp]

Thanks for including Khat in your favorites!

[carpentergrp]

That would be a good cross. Khat's grandsires are Khemosabi and Comar Bay Beau, both US National Champions and Canadian National Champion stallions. Do you have a daughter of Magnum Psyche or Afire Bey V? I live in Scottsdale. Check out his dressage videos on YouTube.

[FlynnBridget]

He is wonderful! Beautiful stallion and a lot of potential! Great natural ability. I'd like to see him bred to a daughter out of Magnum Psyche, or Afire Bey V.

[Magwian]

i would love to ride that horse he/she looks like tons of fun to jump

[carpentergrp]

Yes, Khat is a ton of fun. He has the best personality and makes you laugh, great temperament, almost like a big dog, really, I take him every where only by the forelock and he behaves perfectly...what a guy. I may start breeding him next year.

[Jumperchick7]

How much are you asking?

[carpentergrp]

Khat's not for sale. He is my prize stallion, Horse of the Year Award winner USEF and USDF 2006. Next year I plan to start breeding him...that should be exciting!

[carpentergrp]

That is great. I love all breeds of horses, just passionate about horses, but Arabians are much more affectionate, more beautiful and sensitive...which I think is a good thing, but some people don't like their sensitivity. Good Luck!

[cwaabaa]

he looks like hes just floating over the jumps! his first time jumping? he must be an amazing horse!!! when i free jump my horse she strts off at a trot and after shes gone over the first jump sometimes canters over the rest but i generally need to run along the other side of the fence to keep her going!

[carpentergrp]

It's nice to get comments from Australia. Yes, Khat is "one of a kind", a very forward mover. The day he was born he showed he was obviously different than any other horses I had ever bred. He is so personable too...loves humans! I noticed you have one of my horses on your Favorites. Thanks for your comment. Your mare sounds sweet.

[carpentergrp]

That's a lot to expect of a horse for the very first time SEEING a jump and then going OVER one, don't you think? He had never even gone over cavalleti before! I wanted to see what kind of instincts & natural ability he had for jumping before any training and he did GREAT! He figured it all out and gets better with every jump as you can see. Thanks for the comment.

[jumpthemhigh]

if i was on him..man thatd be fun

[LoveForHorses94]

Beautiful, went over those jumps perfectly =)..♥ Amazing stallion

[ShowJumper004]

I totally agree with Maxxsgirl

[fhlstables]

I'd like to see a website link where I might learn more about him. Thanks!

[Maxxsgirl]

He's got his eye on that last vertical the whole way through the combination. Too funny! It's a bit of a shame he's not doing any jumping now.

[carpentergrp]

Khat is so focused on whatever he is doing. I've been breeding horses since 1987 and I've never seen one like him before. He gives 100% every time. Khat is so affectionate too, he just loves people. He would have been the perfect Arabian horse to live in a tent with his Master. Maybe he can jump one day...he has time! Thanks for your comment.

[XxemoxqueenxX]

Wow impressive his movement is so fluid. And you say this is the first time he's seen a jump?

Now I know where to go if I ever want to breed my mare!

5 stars! ANd you can be sure I'll be watching out for this stallion in the future!

[carpentergrp]

Wow! Thank you. The ultimate compliment is my stallion being chosen to breed to your mare. Yes, this is his first time seeing a jump and going over one!

[showjumpingbabe]

that horse is beautiful i would breed him

[carpentergrp]

I plan to start his breeding career next Spring 2008. Thanks for the complement.

[Ishtiama]

Why do I not beleive this was the first time he's ever seen a jump? =/

[carpentergrp]

Khat was taken over to this place with my other horses to see what he could do. He hadn't ever seen ANY kind of a jump before. The best way to determine if a horse has the athletic and mental ability to jump is to take them through a jump chute like this BEFORE you put alot of money into them for jumping training. Khat has such a great temperament, is very athletic and will do anything you want him to do. Right now he is in dressage training 100% of the time.

[BarnBrat]

It looks like your in Arizona?

Is this horse for sale or something

[carpentergrp]

No, he's not for sale. I plan to start breeding him next year.

[Telltally]

I think he's looking good over the fences. If he was scared, he would not be jumping them. He is a stallion and you can't make a stallion do anything - you have to discuss it with them!

[tpa92190]

he looks scared and overface.. im notsure why he's doing multiple fences his first time jumping.  I've always been taught to use a single pole progress to a small crossrail, and eventually jump small verticals long before introducing a second fence.

[horseyjumper45]

he jumped them like their was nothing their AMAZing horse i would buy him

[Jumperchick7]

I want an Arab/Wb stallion. I would take him to the National Sport horse jumpers.

[carpentergrp]

If I could talk my Dressage Trainer into jumping him I would. She's shown horses jumping over 7 feet at the Cow Palace in Denver! Now she ONLY does dressage. This was the very first time he had seen a jump and seemed to have liked the experience. He went through like a "pro" every time. This is raw footage, no editing. Do you want me to let you know when I start breeding him?

[xlacabriole]

where are you located ?!

[carpentergrp]

Arizona

[sxclilcowgirl]

gorguz arab looks like mine, he is clearing those jumps easy, nice lengthy scoopy jump. great work i hope he is doing well.

[carpentergrp]

Thanks for the comment. This video was taken over 2 years ago, the first and only time Khataba+ has ever jumped. Since then he has grown some and filled out quite a bit doing dressage 100% of the time with trainer, Julie Sodowsky. I would like to get him approved for the Trakehner Official Stud Book (OSB)and breed him to Trakehner, Thoroughbred, and Warmblood mares. There is alot of interest in him at the horse shows as a breeding sire!

[stupidblond428a]

Beautiful horse. He is pretty good at jumping

[edpatch]

Beautiful way of going, extremely athletic..Don Patch
