I love friesians, they're such beautiful horses. I only wish they were good jumpers since that's my main discipline and they're more suited to dressage.
@GoldStarPacesetters And you didn't even stop to think that maybe s/he isn't English or American or whatever, and "gallop" was the only translation the uploader could find? People are too judgemental these days.
He isnt landing hard on the horses back that is a half seat, almost all professional roders ride in this position as it takes weight of the horses back and is actually better for them.
I don't know about everyone else, but I see a nice 4 beat gallop... He is sooo gorgeous!! You are so lucky to have a horse like him! He looks like fun to ride :D
ahhh...a friesian cantering or gslloping doesnt matter what matters its that ths breed of horses look so beautiful thanks to their pelt or hair theyare soooooooo elegant i just love them ;3
@littledrawingfan I totally agree. Yes they are so beautiful. We just returned from the Stallion Show in Leeuwarden Holland and the horses there are amazing.
@MisCat24 No need to tell a Grand Prix rider that and she was his best rider ever (sadly, we had to move to another location). The rider in this video was schooling him green at 5 years of age at the time (less than 1 year under saddle). She did a great job with him - you should see him now. We all just love him!
@FriesianCatRider Im sorry if i was rude, it was not at all my intention. I did not say she didn't do well, and i'm sorry if even a compliment can hurt you ego.
The horse is gorgeous btw. I would be proud to be the owner.
@msjumpingqueenful well u need to stop bieng mean to shcatzilla shes not older than my mom shes young and she a good friend of mine so if u hurt her u hurt me and alot of people fegretted getting punched by me
I don't see a gallop I see a canter, there is actually no way to do a gallop in such a small ring, regardless of the type of horse, maybe a pony but not a horse, I've ridden friesians too.. and this is clearly a canter, . it has 4 beats not 3. If you talking about European gaits then its understandable that you would say Gallop, as it is what it is, I was born and raised in Germany, but maybe put it in "gallop" so people understand or in your description, just a thought. ;)
@SassyMustang1980 Sorry I have to disagree with you. We have complete springen sessions where the horses are in a full gallop on the long side so you are incorrect in that you can't gallop in this halle. The halle he is in now is even smaller (not the one in this video) and we also can do very carefully controlled gallops. Finally, I can call my video what I like and since I now live in Switzerland, this is a GALLOP, OK?
@FriesianCatRider then proof it, due a full blown gallop in the indoor, not this Canter "gallop" you are doing.. and if you would have read the full post you would have seen what I fully posted vs. just reading the first 2 lines..
@SassyMustang1980 Uh hello? There are 3 years worth of comments on here going over and over the same stuff. Go back, read them all, then take the time to comment. Don't lecture me on reading the first 2 lines and I do not have to proove anything to anyone (what are you like12?). If you are really from Germany, then there is no explanation needed and I certainly do not have to tell you of the skill of the riders here who can easily "gallop" a full grown horse across a small halle.
@FriesianCatRider Thing is, to those of us in the states, we'd call that a canter. To us a gallop is only a full out, as fast as the horse can go run.
Where there's complete suspension between strides, this isn't a full out run, which many would expect with "gallop" in the title.
The person wasn't asking you to defend anything, just saying if you clarified you'd have less of a headache from people saying "That's not a gallop", who don't realize canters are called gallops in other countries.
@horseshoes1997 This is not a small arena and since when can you not gallop inside? This is a Grand Prix rider going through the motions. By the way, the halle that we are in now is even smaller and we STILL gallop (all of us) with no problem. These are top European riders as well with one American (that would be me) in the mix.
@SassyMustang1980 It may look like he is cantering,but draft breeds,like the Friesian,have slower gallops that a light horse or pony.He's doing a gallop.And he's not your horse,so how would you know what his gallop is really like.
@abbykoda123 It is like sitting on a moving sofa with a hang time of a second. I rode an even large Friesian and I thought I would get launched to the ceiling. It is soooo much fun to ride these gentle giants. Friesians, Friesians, Friesians....
I have a half friesian half arab and he looks more like the friesian especially in the canter! He has a very dramatic tail flick anytime he has to do intense work! ;) They are such beautiful horses!
This is a canter.. If she told you it was a gallop you need a new trainer. And she needs a helmet. I don't care if it would make her pretty little head all sweaty.
@ooolalafrenchy101 Please take the time and read the comments from the beginning regarding this trainer. The comments now are getting a bit tedious and boring. I like new and interesting which your post is definitely not.
@ooolalafrenchy101 So that this info is now at the top, here in Europe a "Canter" is a "Gallop", there is NO OTHER word for it. We "gallop" slow, medium, or full out. We go from "Schritt" to "Traub" then to GALLOP. There is no word for canter. Look up my location and you will see that we are in Switzerland which has German, French and Italian as the main languages. I hope you learned something today. :-)
The rhythm of a gallop is different from a canter. In Gallop the diagonal pair of legs on the offside (not the leading frontleg) touch the ground slightly after each other. In canter they touch the ground at exactly the same time. If a horse changes from canter to gallop the rider will feel a slight change in the rhythm.
It's good to see a Frisian canter so well though!! good work.
@tannamara I think that in most languages canter and gallop is one word, which is why they called it a gallop. They probably meant canter but have only one word for both so it's not the lack of knowledge in riding but more the difference in languages ;) Though I don't know swiss german I only know the german german (if you get what I mean xD), so I'm not sure about it.
@XXNichtlustigXX This is 100% correct. No one here says "Canter". We gallop slow, medium or full out. Finally someone who knows what they are talking about!!!
@IDontCare704 your not gonna die just cause you dont wear a helmet haha! your so funny!!! its everyones choice thats why by law if your 18 or older helmet is no a HAVE too its everyones own choice!
@lyndzeysmiles Please read the previous comments. In German, they have no word for "Canter", so "Gallop" is the word they use to include *our* canter and gallop. And she's riding with a half seat, or hunt seat, though it may be called something different there, as I've recently learned quite a few things are. :)
That was a canter :/ and I could barely see try holding the camera a lot better and maybe use a helmet :) steady it a point it at the horse! Just trying to help
@CrazyForObie in the German language, there is no difference between canter and gallop.. we call gallop as well as canter a gallop. so here (if the owner of the video speaks German since he/she is from Switzerland) could be right anyway.
That was cool when she ws asking him for the left lead and he took the wrong but switched to the correct one! HE DID A FLYING LEAD CHANGE! it was at the time of 1:43. My horse and I just started doing those. I love the way friesians move. I've never ridden one, but I hope to some day. I love how graceful they are!
@GypsyDoodleGirl If you have the time, take a look at my other video. We do a flying lead change as well but it was on the wrong lead. Still alot of fun though since Jouke loves to do these and they feel so awesome. I just can't explain it but he is just so comfortable with Friesian Power!
@FriesianCatRider I will have to look at it! Flying lead changes do feel so amazing don't they? SOOOO FUN! He looks very comfortable too, with Friesian Power! lol! I can't wait to ride a Friesian one day!
@fonjadidi I ride a Friesain X Percheron but she feels beautiful! And shes the sweetest thing! I love to canter on her the only thing I dont like is she throws her head forward and throws me off balance but whatever >.< I love them!
@free2dance2012 Nice! i was riding a horse once and his name was Elvis, i think they gave him that name because he is always moving around with his head haha doing a little dance.
I went on a trail ride with him and whenever he saw someone going in a canter he wanted to gallop and go faster haha it was really fun!
@TabbyTallCat Yes, people have been "riding for centuries without helmets". People have also spent the past centuries dying of the common cold. The good news is that we know how to better treat the sick now. Another future-y thing which is super fantastic is a helmet. Embrace the future, my friend. Helmets rock.
@futuregrrl He was 5 years old in this video so he was going beautifully at time time (not even 1 year under saddle at the time the video was made). Friesians are slow maturers and are considered adults at 8. You should see the big baby now...
@GeorgiaC117 Yea sorry i just relized cuz i just watched the begining to look at comments then i was like "Now shes cantering ?" Haha sorry but yea in the begging is the gallop sorry ,
beautifully ridden!!! just be sure to get after him when he's not doing what your asking, because if you do let him he'll think its ok to do and he won't learn anything and he'll keep trying to disobey what your asking, just keep that in mind :)
@starfire2727 thats exactly what i have to do with my horse because im still training her and if someone lets her get away with something once she thinks its okay especially when your riding her....she's only 5 and she started training at 3 and a half and she can already walk ,trot ,canter , do dressage ,jump really high ,and do mostly everything you ask of her...she's the best horse in the whole world!!!
@8HorseFreak8 A registered/approved Friesian is black. They are the only ones "accepted" by the breed standard and "allowed" to stand as an official Friesian stud/mare. It's up to individual owners to cross with what they want and it's entirely likely someone crossed one with a horse that has white genetics.
@stardustmypony She is cantering in light seat, keeping the weight off his back so he can use it more. It helps the horse warm up. I had to do this with my thoroughbred. But, yes, you are supposed to have you bum in the saddle
Du kannts ja Im Galopp Noch Nicht mal Im sattel sitze..-.- Und den haust du dem Pferd auch immer wieder Mit den Sporen,in den Bauch,immer wieder aufs neue.sowas geht GARNICHT!!! den ist des auch kein wudnern wen der Nicht so fokioniert,wie Du es willts..!
Beautiful horse just looks like he has a stubborn lead at least at this point in his life. Don't take me the wrong way though I know two horses who it's harder for them to get going on the correct lead one way and they are two of my favorite horses to ride. But other than that he is a good looking horse with great movement.
guys, im looking to buy an alrounder horse that is able for novice to advanced and i adore the look of friesians but are they a bit strong? any advice?
Waaaant... @.@ Gorgeous horse. Heh, I used to ride my Anglo Arab gelding with no helmet all the time. No worries. He's now retired and thinks he's a big dog.
Sorry my english is not good, but don´t let your horse run away from you. it´s to quickly for dressage. also friesian can gallopp slowly. I ride a friesian to, and know it. don´t ride at the light fitting.? (leichter sitz). gelongs not to the dressage.
When your riding and asking him to canter off, you put him to a disadvantage by having the horses head turned inwards. You need his head pointed to the outside in order to set him up for the proper lead. Good luck. Thanks for the video.
@MyLifeMyLoveHORSES Please read the comments from awhile ago and get up to speed; yes she can ride (at a high level) and yes we do alot of 2 point over here even in Dressage in order to teach the youngsters balance.
Habe gehört das der Stall anscheinend in der Schweiz ligt also schreibe ich mal auf Deutsch!
Anfangs sehr schön geritten, sehr schöne Gänge, negativ finde ich jedoch die Leute die da ständig rumklappern und rum schreien....klar kannst du ja nix für aber bei dir finde ich wirklich total daneben...als der Friese nicht mehr auf der richtigen Hand angaloppiert nimmst du ihn in viel zu enge haltung (1:15) und biegst ihn extrem. Dies ist nicht nötig man kann dich auch anders durchsetzten!!!
I was now not sure whether the sit out, the relief was sitting or light fitting. Sry but for me sitting out as if you were trying to gallop "easy". So that you have tried the same make as the slightly pompous. And he did not remain in the gallop I was not too surprised. You have to sit out at least 4 strokes in front of anyway nothing else will. Well much more fun.
Looks like the rider is in a hand gallop the first 40 and last 30 seconds. That would explain the two point stance on an extended canter. Btw you have a beautiful horse.
ok when your horse doesn't want to take a certain lead your supposed to OPEN the inside shoulder not close it like she is doing! What kind of trainer is this???
YAY!! what a beeautiful Friesian! =D. and hurrah, someone not wearing helmet! don't curse me, anyone, but I don't like helmets either... and don't usually wear one unless, of course, I'm jumping =P
WOw. Peeps, enough with the horse... Its not your horse is it? By the way, if you have actually reseached how friesians move, thier slopping shoulders make it very difficult, if not impossible to move at a fast gallop with a rider.. They have a very high, upward gait, not a forward movemnet like Tbs or that stuff.
I see no gallop just a canter in the school, leg movement is what changes the gait not the speed. Also you shouldn't ride with spurs if you can't keep you legs still. ALSO to get you horse on the correct lead leg (which you tried about 5 times before suceeding) put your inside leg on the girth and outside leg behing the girth instead of just pulling the head round to try to make the horse bend -.- doesn't work unless the whole body bends hense your legs.
Your horse is not right and down his back, it's logical that you can not horse galloping towards him. You should also go with a frieze just galloping horse, when there is strong enough. Your horse is now just way over the shoulder and lose balance. Leave to focus on their own feet and walk right!
@DjokkeT1 i think what she is trying to do is extend on the straights and collect in the corners. its a good way to develop striding in cross country and achieve the collected canter needed for dressage. i was taught by my riding instructer that brings on eventers and i use it on a ex-race horse im bringing on too.
also she might be using the spurs for a more direct signal. dressage is supposed to look effortless. i might be completely wrong here but thats just how ive seen it. =]
@HorseChick000 thats how friesians naturally move, have you not watched them in fields without a rider, she isn't doing that, not the worst rider i have seen but not great either, in my opinion she shouldn't be using spurs when she can't keep still
@HorseChick000 i rode horses for 10 years so at the moment i am 15 so i started when i was 5 so that horse is doing exelent. he has elegant movement and his gates are perfect so he must be getting trained perfectly.
I didn't read all the comments and I'm sorry if I'm saying something that's already been said.
First of all I love your horse, really beautiful.
Second If she's a trainer, she really is bad. I'd find someone else if I were you, she's ruiening? your horse. When she puls the rain on the inside and pulls his/her head down there's no way she'll be able to put his left leg forward first.
It's better to get his head more to the outside so he'll be able to put his left leg forward first.
but the fact that shes spurring youre horse that much? like she actually kicks with spurs on?.. i mean youre horse is going to become like like completely non responcive to normal leg aid because he will get used to being spurred and adjust to that feeling. so yano :/
@SmithyRudeGirl Can't agree to you,that she's spurring too much. Frisians are beautiful,robust horses but having a strong will of it's own.That is why they are mostly calling for to be ridden by using spurs and whip.Think , she's supporting the horse just in the right way !
@wohafu This is one of the best comments I have read so far. Friesians have a mind of their own and they are known to work as much as they feel/will (yes, they are incredibly stubborn). Spurs are usually the norm but I do ride without for a variety of reasons and one of them is to keep fit (I use alot of thigh/leg action). However, now that he is 8 years old and no longer a youngster, I am thinking of changing to spurs sometime soon for greater response.
@FriesianCatRider I'm sorry but I really have to disagree with you. Friesian horses are NOT "incredibly stubborn". Being Dutch I almost felt offended by your remark. I'm very proud of the Friesian Horse and it's lovely character and I think it is incredibly unfair of you to label them as stubborn. Their willingness to work is enormous and it's my humble opinion that riders (myself included) are sometimes blaming our horses for our own shortcomings.
@NiMona15 you are entitled to your opinion but note that this is a common thing with Friesians and NOT a shortcoming of the rider (regardless if you are Dutch or not - I have been several times to Holland). I absolutely love my horse (anyone can attest to that without a doubt!) and love the Friesian breed in general so I find it offensive that you are "jumping to conclusions". So my advice is for you to get off of your soap box and understand that alot of Friesians (not all) are stubborn.
@FriesianCatRider Why should I get off my soapbox? Because I happen to disagree with you when you state that Friesians "are incredibly stubborn"? Or because I think it's ridiculous when someone says that you need spurs and a whip to ride a strong-willed horse? Btw, I never claimed you don't love your horse, how could I? I don't know you. And you're probably a fine horse person but would be an even better one if you'd acknowledge that éveryone sometimes has their shortcomings...
I love friesians, they're such beautiful horses. I only wish they were good jumpers since that's my main discipline and they're more suited to dressage.

That was cool when she ws asking him for the left lead and he took the wrong but switched to the correct one! HE DID A FLYING LEAD CHANGE! it was at the time of 1:43. My horse and I just started doing those. I love the way friesians move. I've never ridden one, but I hope to some day. I love how graceful they are!

@GypsyDoodleGirl If you have the time, take a look at my other video. We do a flying lead change as well but it was on the wrong lead. Still alot of fun though since Jouke loves to do these and they feel so awesome. I just can't explain it but he is just so comfortable with Friesian Power!

@FriesianCatRider I will have to look at it! Flying lead changes do feel so amazing don't they? SOOOO FUN! He looks very comfortable too, with Friesian Power! lol! I can't wait to ride a Friesian one day!

@free2dance2012 Nice! i was riding a horse once and his name was Elvis, i think they gave him that name because he is always moving around with his head haha doing a little dance.
I went on a trail ride with him and whenever he saw someone going in a canter he wanted to gallop and go faster haha it was really fun!

@TabbyTallCat Yes, people have been "riding for centuries without helmets". People have also spent the past centuries dying of the common cold. The good news is that we know how to better treat the sick now. Another future-y thing which is super fantastic is a helmet. Embrace the future, my friend. Helmets rock.

@8HorseFreak8 A registered/approved Friesian is black. They are the only ones "accepted" by the breed standard and "allowed" to stand as an official Friesian stud/mare. It's up to individual owners to cross with what they want and it's entirely likely someone crossed one with a horse that has white genetics.

@stardustmypony She is cantering in light seat, keeping the weight off his back so he can use it more. It helps the horse warm up. I had to do this with my thoroughbred. But, yes, you are supposed to have you bum in the saddle

Beautiful horse just looks like he has a stubborn lead at least at this point in his life. Don't take me the wrong way though I know two horses who it's harder for them to get going on the correct lead one way and they are two of my favorite horses to ride. But other than that he is a good looking horse with great movement.

Sorry my english is not good, but don´t let your horse run away from you. it´s to quickly for dressage. also friesian can gallopp slowly. I ride a friesian to, and know it. don´t ride at the light fitting.? (leichter sitz). gelongs not to the dressage.
Great looking horse (:
MsMaus1996 8 months ago
When your riding and asking him to canter off, you put him to a disadvantage by having the horses head turned inwards. You need his head pointed to the outside in order to set him up for the proper lead. Good luck. Thanks for the video.

Hallo
Habe gehört das der Stall anscheinend in der Schweiz ligt also schreibe ich mal auf Deutsch!
Anfangs sehr schön geritten, sehr schöne Gänge, negativ finde ich jedoch die Leute die da ständig rumklappern und rum schreien....klar kannst du ja nix für aber bei dir finde ich wirklich total daneben...als der Friese nicht mehr auf der richtigen Hand angaloppiert nimmst du ihn in viel zu enge haltung (1:15) und biegst ihn extrem. Dies ist nicht nötig man kann dich auch anders durchsetzten!!!
MrHippi13131 9 months ago
I was now not sure whether the sit out, the relief was sitting or light fitting. Sry but for me sitting out as if you were trying to gallop "easy". So that you have tried the same make as the slightly pompous. And he did not remain in the gallop I was not too surprised. You have to sit out at least 4 strokes in front of anyway nothing else will. Well much more fun.
rebiISfame97 10 months ago
Looks like the rider is in a hand gallop the first 40 and last 30 seconds. That would explain the two point stance on an extended canter. Btw you have a beautiful horse.

jumperlover100 1 year ago
WOw. Peeps, enough with the horse... Its not your horse is it? By the way, if you have actually reseached how friesians move, thier slopping shoulders make it very difficult, if not impossible to move at a fast gallop with a rider.. They have a very high, upward gait, not a forward movemnet like Tbs or that stuff.
SwEeTsKiLlS235 1 year ago
I see no gallop just a canter in the school, leg movement is what changes the gait not the speed. Also you shouldn't ride with spurs if you can't keep you legs still. ALSO to get you horse on the correct lead leg (which you tried about 5 times before suceeding) put your inside leg on the girth and outside leg behing the girth instead of just pulling the head round to try to make the horse bend -.- doesn't work unless the whole body bends hense your legs.
DeathKitty123456 1 year ago
Your horse is not right and down his back, it's logical that you can not horse galloping towards him. You should also go with a frieze just galloping horse, when there is strong enough. Your horse is now just way over the shoulder and lose balance. Leave to focus on their own feet and walk right!
DjokkeT1 1 year ago
Oh my goodness, I've never seen someone riding this bad!
Poor horse, this is not the way to galop, that's for sure!
How can this horse galop?? The rider doesn't even give her chance!
I only see pulling, whipping, spurse....very sad to see that the horse is misundertood en get's whipped, because the knowledge stops by the amazone.
the amazone must learn a whole lot, that's fot sure!!!
Poor horse!!
DjokkeT1 1 year ago
@DjokkeT1 i think what she is trying to do is extend on the straights and collect in the corners. its a good way to develop striding in cross country and achieve the collected canter needed for dressage. i was taught by my riding instructer that brings on eventers and i use it on a ex-race horse im bringing on too.
also she might be using the spurs for a more direct signal. dressage is supposed to look effortless. i might be completely wrong here but thats just how ive seen it. =]

HorseChick000 1 year ago 29
@HorseChick000 thats how friesians naturally move, have you not watched them in fields without a rider, she isn't doing that, not the worst rider i have seen but not great either, in my opinion she shouldn't be using spurs when she can't keep still
DeathKitty123456 1 year ago
@HorseChick000 i rode horses for 10 years so at the moment i am 15 so i started when i was 5 so that horse is doing exelent. he has elegant movement and his gates are perfect so he must be getting trained perfectly.

I didn't read all the comments and I'm sorry if I'm saying something that's already been said.
First of all I love your horse, really beautiful.
Second If she's a trainer, she really is bad. I'd find someone else if I were you, she's ruiening? your horse. When she puls the rain on the inside and pulls his/her head down there's no way she'll be able to put his left leg forward first.
It's better to get his head more to the outside so he'll be able to put his left leg forward first.

SmithyRudeGirl 1 year ago
@SmithyRudeGirl Can't agree to you,that she's spurring too much. Frisians are beautiful,robust horses but having a strong will of it's own.That is why they are mostly calling for to be ridden by using spurs and whip.Think , she's supporting the horse just in the right way !
wohafu 1 year ago 8
@wohafu This is one of the best comments I have read so far. Friesians have a mind of their own and they are known to work as much as they feel/will (yes, they are incredibly stubborn). Spurs are usually the norm but I do ride without for a variety of reasons and one of them is to keep fit (I use alot of thigh/leg action). However, now that he is 8 years old and no longer a youngster, I am thinking of changing to spurs sometime soon for greater response.
FriesianCatRider 9 months ago
@FriesianCatRider Thank you very much !
wohafu 9 months ago
@FriesianCatRider I'm sorry but I really have to disagree with you. Friesian horses are NOT "incredibly stubborn". Being Dutch I almost felt offended by your remark. I'm very proud of the Friesian Horse and it's lovely character and I think it is incredibly unfair of you to label them as stubborn. Their willingness to work is enormous and it's my humble opinion that riders (myself included) are sometimes blaming our horses for our own shortcomings.
NiMona15 8 months ago
@NiMona15 you are entitled to your opinion but note that this is a common thing with Friesians and NOT a shortcoming of the rider (regardless if you are Dutch or not - I have been several times to Holland). I absolutely love my horse (anyone can attest to that without a doubt!) and love the Friesian breed in general so I find it offensive that you are "jumping to conclusions". So my advice is for you to get off of your soap box and understand that alot of Friesians (not all) are stubborn.
FriesianCatRider 8 months ago
@FriesianCatRider Why should I get off my soapbox? Because I happen to disagree with you when you state that Friesians "are incredibly stubborn"? Or because I think it's ridiculous when someone says that you need spurs and a whip to ride a strong-willed horse? Btw, I never claimed you don't love your horse, how could I? I don't know you. And you're probably a fine horse person but would be an even better one if you'd acknowledge that éveryone sometimes has their shortcomings...
