@gilliangirl1 Depends on the horse, some trip more than others. As a general rule, horses with long toes will tend to trip more often in any condition. If your horse usually picks up his feet and doesn't just shuffle along, you shouldn't have to worry about them tripping. Avoid potholes anyway, and watch out for slipping when it's muddy.
THINK ABOUT IT! all this people that are like "ur cantering to much!" look at how long this video is... like 3mins.... think about how long some cross country courses are ... like 5 and up mins of straight up galloping.... think about it... its not that long....
@oliveheadface omg, its not like its gunna die, Thoroughbreds gallop half a mile without stopping, I think this horse can withstand cantering for 2 minutes.
i love horse riding and horses. I just hate the typa people that usually do it. there almost always stuck up pricks ( well in england at least) and they overcomplicate it way too much. this looked like a lovely ride tho :)
@semplespacemodule wtf are you trying to say?.. that people that take horse riding as a serious sport are stuck up pricks? Yes, we over compilcate it because it IS complicated. People who just go on big joy rides dont get what it takes to be a true equestrian.. i mean yes joy rides are lovely.. but there is alot of sport in equestrianism also.. and what is the bull about "well in england at least"? prejudice much?..
All your helmet cam vifeos are awesome! It's so much fun to watch. I wish I had bridle trails like those to ride on. Jeez- how many miles are there of gorgeous countryside to ride through are there?! (jealousy!!)
The horse does not appear to be lame. As PippaHardman mentioned, it is the distance/angle between the helmetcam and the horse that changes on each alternate diagonal (since the rider is posting the trot) that creates the illusion of "dropping his head". Brilliant video by the way!! :-)
This horse isn't lame, if you look at the ground you can see that the pathway is quite uneven. Have a look at the other video where he cantering a circle on the beach. This was taken shortly after this one.
Guys, you don't know if he is lame or not. YES, he DOES look like he is favoring his leg, but that could just be the way he trots. SOme horses just bob their heads.
No I'm not and you really can't tell if the horse is lame just by this video. It may have been an off day, or just a bad view. Don't respond to this please, nobody except the user who posted this really cares, maybe he doesnt even care what you think so just stop. You don't know the horse........
its not uneven if u look really closley its not the horses head moving its the rider doing rising trot its an optical illusion. If the horse was lame it wouldnt canter along like that all happy and stuff jeez!
No. A thoroughbred (hot blood) crossed with a draft (cold blood) makes a horse that can be called a warmblood. An oldenberg is called a warm blood but typicaly have more light horse (hot blood) breeding. My friend has a TB/Belgium(sp?) cross and trust me it is about as far from an Oldenberg as you can get.
where do you get the camera from?x

How often do horses trip? I worry myself silly that my horse will trip, especially if it's muddy or there's pot holes.

yes horses have very high natural endurance... the rider would probably be more tired haha

You go ride that horse! A few min. of cantering in what looks like cool weather is more than fine for this horse. They love it too! Enjoy the ride!

Horses nod their heads when trotting, this horse's trot sounded even to me.
