  • absolutely love this! Wonderful.

  • on the bit next? ahahaha

  • Amazing! Blows out Carl Hester's theory of never touch a horse [for dressage] that walks like a camel!

  • ok now that's awesome! i didn't know camels could lope!

  • Very impressive!

  • Bravo, j'adore les atypiques !

  • Hahaha :P

  • Love it! Goodbye pricey warmbloods, hello camels.

  • wacky backy camel been at the bong? man it looks like it was realy good *hit. where can i get some 4my GG? x

  • Great I never have a camel dresage

  • Brilliant, a tad hollow in places.... Totilas watch out!!!

  • LOL

    i never thought i'd see a camel doing flying lead changes. holy crap.

  • oh man. my whole world has changed. Selling my horse for a cammel. LOL

  • THE MAJESTY!

  • ummm wow... the freaking camel does better flying changes than my horse does!!!! lol

  • never done dressage on a camel.... yet!!! lol

  • Dear Santa,

    I want a dressage camel for Christmas! =)

    I promise to be a very good girl!

    Thanks!

  • Comment removed

  • he looks better than that horse

    he dose a lead change lol that is soooooo funny

  • That camel behaves better than my horse. XD

  • who need horses? xD

  • wow i had no idea a camel could do a piaffe and flying lead changes the camel did better then the horse!

  • @jimmysmagic why wouldnt they

  • Comment removed

  • Honour the Camel! It's awesome!!

  • ...and I didn't know camels could canter...let only get their leads and do tempi changes!!!!

  • Notice, though, that he (she?) doesn't trot, but paces....gaited dressage!

  • CAN I HAVE HIM?!

  • im jealous...hahaha the camel looks easier to ride than my show jumper!!! xD

  • A camel doing tempi changes? I better get to work!

  • it did 1s

  • I'd like to see your arab eventer cut a cow.

  • Oh wow. He even did a flying lead change. Wow. Dressage is hard, and that camel looked like it knew its job LOL!! My arab. eventer would not let that camel near him though. Dressage is way harder than barrel racing. I'd like to see a barrel racer put a horse in a frame and put it through a test. Good luck.

  • Amazing. Kind of makes the rest of us look bad, doesn't it?

  • very cool!!!

  • thats pretty tight!

  • One tempi changes! Amazing!!!!

  • wow...thats different, i saw this link in the Horswyse magazine, plus me if u did two!

  • hahaha omg thats insane!!!

    how did they get it to do that

  • Ladies and Gentlemen here we see the up and coming start in Anky's dressage stables. LOL ;)

  • 멋져블러!!!!

  • amazing ! < 3 : p

  • I would not turn that camel away from my barn XD

  • Pretty amazing , and its better looking than half the Warmbloods i've seen :)

  • this camel is a beast.

    i want one!

  • AWESOMENESS

  • the camel did a flying change wow

  • It is the quietness of the rider, the leg. And precision.

  • Obviously you Don't get it...The full pass...the half pass...flying lead changes... If you don't get it you probably don't do it and therefore don't see the beauty in the softness of this ride. It is pretty amazing.

  • wow! that's pretty unique! I wonder what it's like riding a camel like that...

  • Holy Shit!

  • ca c'Est trop drole jai jamais rien vu de tel

  • OH MY GOD! I want this camel!!! What a sweetheart! Worlds smartest camel?

  • Oh my f*cking G°D! Oo

    I never thought that would be possible!

    its amazing<3 i love this camel!

  • HOLY COW!!!!

    thats amazing

    i want a camel now:P

    wow that is... just WOW

  • Awesome !!!

  • omg my pony cant even do that and this guy is getting a camel to do it

  • Ok now I'm insecure... I can't get my HORSE to do that and this guy has a CAMEL doing dressage..... LOL!

  • haha coolt ^^

  • Holy Shit! Is are the camels doing dressage?

  • Holy shit I didn't know how big camels were.

  • Cutest thing ever! I had no idea they did dressage with camels lol it looks like fun!

  • How does one gets ones camel on the bit?

    Can a camel feel the riders legs through all that padding?

    Perhaps I might be overly cynical but my immediate thoughts are the amount of abuse that animal may have suffered in order to perform like that?

    What do others think?

  • Through all of what padding?

  • I don't think you could get such a 'soft' performance - from a CAMEL especially - using abusive training. I was thinking the reverse, that they must've been incredibly SENSITIVE when training to get such a notoriously ornery creature to do DRESSAGE!

    (Not that I'm condoning animal exploitation in entertainment...)

  • I love the flying lead changes. That camel's "canter" is just adorable!

  • O wow! its crazy!

  • HAHA funny but amazing! :) Camels rule!

  • wow i never new a camel could do dressage!

  • where the heck did u find this?

    its amazing

  • Should the tag for this really be "equitation"? Should we call it "dromedaritation" or something? ;)

  • that camel does better changes then my horse! hahahah

  • My goodness...a camel doing tempi changes! That was fabulous!

  • Oh my gosh!

    Ha this too great he even did lead changes!

  • Absolutely fabulous! What a privilege to watch and I'd love to know how long it took to train them in dressage. Where did they have the event? Do you know the name of the team?

  • I've never believed that camels could be so cute.

  • wow. sehr cool. Das Kamel läuft besser wie so manches pferd. :D

  • Oh sweetheart no one cares about who you have trained with or what you ride so stop trying to make yourself feel better by bragging on youtube... it is very annoying

    :)

  • No way!!! That is soooooo cool!!!!!

  • To dappledpengiuns..For sure there are nice dressage people...just dont meet too many Sadly...you should change the words in your reply "some" to "most".

  • That's amazing!!! Whoever trained that camel must be super patient! I love the way he/she catches leads. Super cute!

  • Camel dressage! How amazing! He is surprisingly graceful! Very interesting.

  • WOW! I could not stop laughing! A camel, doing dressage?  But I must say, pretty DANG impressive! A camel doing lead changes! WOW!! =D

  • So fuckin' awesome, i'll sell my horse en buy a camel haha

    No kidding, but i think it's really amazing!

    Good job camel:D

  • "C'est dans le mauvais sens l'extension d'encolure là"

    MDRRR tu m'etonnes !

    Trop marrante cette vidéo =)

  • This is the coolest thing! Way to go, guys! I love it, keep it up!  Looks like playing with camels is as much fun as playing with horses. :)

  • All these arrogant snotty dressage people who brag about there $100,000.00 German warmblood's just got served a can of camel whoop ass!!!!! Sadly it wont catch on with the kids for the camel is the only animal that when being ridden can turn around and bite you in the chest. To many crying 10 yr old muffy kids running to there mommies in there BMW's.

  • Although some dressage people are exactly how you describe a lot of us are really nice. So please don't stereotype us all into one big group.

  • as if we are going to believe any of that when you havent got any of your own videos to show.

    We dont give a dam who you have ridden with, I have had lessons with Pippa Funnell, Tina Cook, William Fox-Pitt, Mark Corbett and Elaine Wilson but I dont go round blagging about it coz no-one really cares!! Just coz you appear to be bloody rich and can afford all of that, doesnt mean you have to blag about it to everyone else!!

  • you're obviously a kid that is very impressed with yourself, and i don't need to show videos as i've been a demonstration rider for the west coast dressage judges forum receiving high marks from around thirty judges...and paid for everything myself...and the warmblood i ride is only a horse that i bred and worth 50-80k.

    Try working on your riding and not putting others down. Most of us don't buy horses in Germany that we can't ride and drive BMW's.

  • Anyone who rides horses has no excuses now! The camel does a better job than the Arabian! Elice

  • HOLY SH*T! They got the camel to bow!! Dressage Camel Officially Rox! This is one awesome Desert Dancer. (The Horse did prettty good as well.)

  • I love the flying changes!!!!

  • .wow.

  • i can't believe they taught a camel to do tempi changes! unbelievable

  • this camel is better than some horses that i've seen!lol!

  • WOW. That's awsome. I wish my horse could do that. lol :D

  • Fantastic. Very good work. Flying lead change with a camel. Awesome. Thank You for sharing this

  • woop,,,,

    Rider - 6/10. Watch your arms and hands mister!

  • that is amazing!!! I wish my horse could do this!! that camel does it so effortlessly aswell!!! like its second nature! WOW!!

  • HOLY CRAP!!!!!

  • wow thats so cool! that probly took forever 2 train that camel 2 do that! and the flying lead changes were awesome!!!

  • WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Thanks for sharing- it's extraordinary! 5*

  • Received this from a equestrian friend. I had no clue and thought well they are just walking around the ring, what's supposed to happen and when. Then my Egyptian husband explained about lead changes, gaits or whatever. I had no clue if many horses can't do it double WoW for a camel. Thanks for opening my world up more..

  • I have to say that I honestly didn't know camels were so trainable and athletic. I guess that's what happens when the only camels you see are in the movies though, LOL! I find it a little funny however, that all those who think it's no big deal to "make a horse stop and go" only owned and rode horses as children. An ape can make one "stop and go" but it takes a talented trainer to make one do it the right way. I guess that's what separates the true horsemen and women from those who just ride.

  • such a happy camel!

  • Amazing to watch. And for Elgatoloco (your moniker certainly suits your comments), you, of course, are entitled to your opinion about camels, dogs, horses and San Francisco.  But, your opinion doesn't make you be right except in your own eyes which is all that matters in the grand scheme of life. Comments such as yours only demonstrate your lack of education.

  • that is amazing!

    haha man if they can teach a camel to do flying lead changes, i definitely am determined now to make my horse learn them!

  • What a bunch of camel jockeys!

  • Beautiful pas de deux. The flying lead changes on the camel were amazing, very fluid. I had no idea camels could be trained to collect themselves like that. What muscle strength! The arabian was stunning as well. For all of you idiots saying how easy it is to train a horse, and its just a camel running around, you've obviously never ridden dresage. The pure power, muscle strength, trust and grace involved is breathtaking. Those were very difficult moves.

  • WOW!! Am I ever impressed!!!!

  • Brilliant !!!!!!!! I know the horse was wearing horse shoes , but was the camel wearing desert boots ? ;-) MS

  • Well, aside from animal rights, pro or con, I must say, the camel seems to be dancing. Truly amazing.

  • Duh,the horse is flexed correctly,it is an ARABIAN not a peanut pushing Quarter Horse

  • I am not sure if you are up to date in the quarter horse show ring but if you were you would know there are rules against being behind vertical as well as letting the poll drop below the withers. Please be informed before trying to critisize. AND as for the camel....way to go that is truely amazing!!!

  • OMFG!!!!  that is awesome!

  • You wouldn't! You have to be able to connect with a animal and spend time teaching them something to get the impact of the time and dedication it took to teach this camel to do those dressage moves! Totally Awesome!!!

  • ummm dumbazz if u knew anything about horseback riding and dressage you would know he waz crossing on his hind and changing leads every stride. That is some hard shit. plus the camels neck waz collected and he was making him canter collected. dumbshit lets see u teach ure cat that.

  • ElGatoLoco698

    Might be easier if you understood things like flying lead changes,laterals, and tempi changes. It may be "boring" if all you could figure out was stop and go. "Medieval" Times was rather amateurish, but you did get the "boor" part right.

  • haha ok dude i dont know where u live but if u live in the bay area come and ride my horse and see how it is very difficult to get them to do those "boring" moves. and maybe if u like shittin cats and medieval times how did u get to watching shit about dressage. maybe u should get back to watching ure boring iceskating and comment on shit u actually know something about in less u have the balls to do what i do. peace

  • haha na but haha i just figured out ure really not worth any time. i looked at ure vids and u really need to work out buddy just an opinion.

  • All I can say is that you are moron who doesn't know anything about horses, dogs or people. The more you open your mouth, the more you prove my point. Your mother must be so disappointed. The only thing that sucks is YOU dipshit.

  • Geez, you horse lovers sure do let your egos get bruised easily. A little advice. Don't get offended so easily. Just by responding to my posts you are perpetuating it and making it worse. Let it go.

    All I did was respond with my opinion. I did not degrade or name call anything or anyone in my original response (which was deleted by OP). I simply stated I did not think the video was very interesting. I was met with crude comments so I responded with crude comments. Simple as that.

  • Actually, its in the Olympics, its called dressage. And there is a whole big thing called the Rolex. How arrogant can people get. Honestly. It is EXTREMLY hard to get a horse to do this. Traing a horse to do tempi changes takes years to get down.

  • what the hell you douche. lets see you make a camel do that...

  • not to be mean but just so u know the camel wasnt just "runnig around" he was doing very hard excercises including tempi changes, which are very hard to teach any animal

  • OK I laughed at your cat statement but that camel is doing a lot more than "running" around!

  • is that a dressage camel? rofl!

  • WOOOW! :D

    NO, dressage is not cruel, its the RIDER who is cruel in that case!

  • The person who made the cruelty comment obviously has never had horses. All the horses I've ever had Love to go out for a ride. There idea of cruelty is when dinner is 10 min late!!

  • AMEN!!! To that have to go now to feed!

  • In regards to all the dressage cruelty comments I'd like to add my two cents. First of all let me qualify myself-- I am a horse massage therapist and work with many dressage horses. If you understood anything about biomechanics you would know that dressage, like many disciplines, conditions horses in a very balanced way. Horse like exercise, and like humans, if kept fit will have more productive healthy lives.

  • um come see mine

  • Have YOU ever ridden a horse before?

    Come see my horse, when i'm coming to his stable he's making a lot of sound to welcome me and is even happyer when i come walking with the saddle. My horse loves to work, feels apreciated when we're riding and has fun when we're riding. How do i know that? by his bodylanguage. Do you know horses bodylanguage?

  • right. and dogs don't like to "sit."

  • That was great to watch. I never thought a camel could be trained to perform like that. They did very well together.

  • there is lots and lots of scope for abuse in dressage - as in any horse sport; it depends on the trainers and riders. There are a lot of dressage horses who are in continual pain, but can't do anything but obey. It's not alwas the case, but there are plenty of people who treat their horses like ATVs.

  • I am now thinking about trading my horse in for a CAMEL !! What a show.

  • That is so cool. I love dressage and I'm always looking for ways to make it a little more intersesting. This defintely qualifies in the interesting category! I love it.

  • This is such a cool video... thank you so much for sharing it with the world. If a camel can put on a performance like this, I wonder what other animals could be trained and ridden Dressage.... I hope somebody shows up on a Giraffe or Brahma maybe ... I'd pay to see it!

  • Im lost for words-what a totally awesome and entertaining clip-my family had a great discussion over this one! Hummmm...the flying lead changes were amazing-whats my horses excuse now??

  • AWESOME! :)

  • Dressage is a nurturing and beautiful discipline that takes the horses state of well being into account more than any other sport I can think of. Sure there are those out there that do not follow these respectable guidelines, but in all honesty try to name a type of riding that is void of such people.

    Hahaha. I love camels now.

  • I'm going to have my horse watch this. She could learn a few things.

  • Me 2 !!

  • Dressage is not cruel, horses are eager to lo learn and the love to do dressage!

  • Tell that to the people who over flex their horses necks which cuts off their breathing.. There's abuse in every sport.
