arabian horse dancing 2 in mexico

[MsCheygirl55]

@brokefordstud he'll do the same thing. And he's not terrified. Ever seen a dressage horse or a jumper or even a team penner horse?? obiviously u need to learn a bit more about horses. Any horse that is well trained and knows their job will have a concentrated look on their face. This horse is perfection, he's responsive and supple.

[MsCheygirl55]

You guys demeaning this video are dumbasses. Yes SOME spanish people may use that method to teach the horse to dance. But i sure as hell never have and my arab does it beautifully (he prefers the song "I'm Sexy and I Know it") and @HumaneObserver Ya ever heard of the dressage move Piaffe? its no fucking different, Hell I bet every horse has performed the same damn thing when they wanted to go, I know everyone is entitled to their own damn opinion, but stop downing this video, Grow the Fuck Up.

I'd say trained, very well. Enough so that his trainer can stand away from him and give him signals on when to do what he is being asked do.

[auntienono09]

This horse is not abused. No way

[JuanBautista12]

psh that horse isn't dancing, havn't u ever heard the expression "gotta pea like a racehorse?"

[HumaneObserver]

"Dancing" horses... there is something intrinsically wrong here, demeaning. They carry us on their backs for our pleasure — most horses are out of a real job — must we make them do these humbling tricks? It's intensive exercise in small movements that a horse would only do for a short period naturally. I am disturbed by what I see. This horse is conditioned to do this. The cross ties are bothersome indeed. I feel these behaviors are disrespectful of the horses. I am not a fan.

[breyerarab]

i think trained i have no clue really but i think i herd someone say whowe(sp) in the background haha but i could be wrong!:)

[salehs313]

arabian horses are the best he is not trained and to all the faggots no he is not abusing this horse this is from god 2 show the world what a nice animal can do and yea now arabs r not camel jockys

[Epiphify]

@salehs313 This horse is "trained". Pay attention to what you hear. The trainer is somewhere in the background making specific noises that the horse knows and instantly reacts to. Also, the horse obviously knows "Whoa". Pretty good sign of being trained.

[Weebonilass]

Horses will do weird things with their mouths... but his ears are not pinned flat, nor is his tail wringing... all signs of a treat stressed horse. I would say trained because I can hear someone outside the camera field kissing. I had an Arabian show horse that would dance in his stall... not weave... but dance up and down in place... always in the same direction, no matter what direction the stall faced. He use to have groupies - young kids that use to come looking for the "dancing" horse.

[RunninQHsRock]

you can see that he is overtly submissive by the way hes clapping his teeth,and he is afraid.I would hate to be an animal in mexico.

[TheDragonQueen18]

@RunninQHsRock I don't think he is afraid. I have an eight year old mare who chomps on her bit or flaps her lips if you go faster than a walk or she gets excited. Also in the begining and at the end when it is waiting for its commands its ears are up( in between it was behaving like a horse listening for its masters next cue ) and it displays no scared reactions. The fact that he can say whoa that softly and the horse responds that quickly also indicates a horse who is not scared.

[RunninQHsRock]

@TheDragonQueen18 Look a little closer at his mouth,this is not the typicical chomping at the bit commonly seen in an excited horse(which can be from positive or worried energy depending on other body language thats present),what this horse is ''teeth clacking'' which is rarely seen in horses over a year old and its an overtly submissive gesture that they'll do to older horses in a herd,in older horses its a sign of lacking confidence.As for the ears,a horse will put its ears on>>>> continued

[RunninQHsRock]

@TheDragonQueen18 >>>>anything its focusing on,whether its afraid or not.His muscles are tense and he gets an introverted and uncomfortable look in his eyes when working.And its not hard to get a horse to respond to ''whoa'' quickly when its uncomfortable and wants to stop anyway.While this isn't a full scale freak out,as this horse has some understanding that if he jigs he won't get whipped,he is not a happy about what hes doing and could also be a bit sore on the left front.

[Jamzimm101987]

This horse is not trained. This is a video displaying the Moroccan horse training methods used by hispanic people. The horse is cross tied to the pillars and then whipped until he "dances" in place. Notice how the horse tries to move forward to get away, but when he feels the restraint begins to dance or rather jig is a better word. Also notice how the horse quickly jumped when he saw the human that we can hear but can't see. The person likely has the whip in their hand and the horse knows...

[Epiphify]

@Jamzimm101987 I do agree with your comment, but I am slightly confused by "This horse is not trained." I have to say that this statement isn't true. As a Natural Horsemanship fan, I can see how someone could say that this horse isn't trained. But in the eyes of Hispanics, or anyone else who uses the Moroccan methods, this would, in fact, be considered "trained". But in all honesty, I believe "trained" is the incorrect word. "Conditioned" is more reasonable.

[ALEXZ141]

when a horse is tied up either to a bosal or a halter or anything some people hit the horse causing the horse to try to run away but since it is being held back by the bosal this is what causes it to trot in place...this is just an fyi but i think that horse is trained maybe it just isnt trained very well

[horsekid11968]

the poor horse is stressing out!!!!! arabs are high stress horses like tbs. how is this funny

[teenyrific]

thats so cute!!! and guys, if he really wanted out, he could get out.

[vksousa]

What a beautiful horse!!!

[brokefordstud]

Poor horse is terrified when in motion. Look out his mouth. that is not a happy horse. Let's see what he does if they ask him to dance when he isn't tied to the posts..

[allegroequine14]

this horse is well trained. it looks as if he looks to the side at a trainer, owner or someone out of the picture, then responds to some kind of cue. a horse that is super well trained will do this. he will respond to a verbal or physical cue from anywhere as in from the ground, from the back of the horse, or from far away. he is an amazingly smart horse to be able to achieve this. you are a very smart, lucky, and talented owner if you were the one to train him. best congratulations for training

[FiGhTtheSoNg]

what a beautiful horse and it dances well :)

[CieloNotturno86]

i don't like dancing horses, but this one seems calm, relaxed and not abused.

[ObsessedwithArabians]

MOST dont abuse thier horses to do this my little home town parade all the hespanic riders love their horses AND the horses love the music lmao

[beaner667]

fantastic. love the charros. im working on my 6th horse, hes an azteca mustang mix... hows that for your noggin

[haflingers10]

Lazy and messy method of training, should be done in-hand in my opinion!

[rammgirl30]

Trained. He held perfectly still at the 'whoa'. And what a happy horse too, ears were pricked up when it was over.  Abuse my ass! You have no idea what an 'abused' horse looks like.

[BellaRacer95]

Abuse comes in many forms. But I do agree with you.

[anita1600]

ABUSEE !

[allegroequine14]

@anita1600 facebook LUV SHACK RANCH, and check out their pics. thats abuse!

[montanasun]

poor animal! this abusive people. Leave animals alone.

[DarJack1973]

I FULLY AGREE WITH clu412

[PiiNKTEAM]

I hope he's not abused as you said down there. But to me he looks perfectly trained. and he is so lovely :) beautiful.

[NyctraScandia]

Obviously trained. Just turn your volume up, and you can hear a man making kissing noises (whatever you call them <.<; ) to get him to move, and says "whoa" to make him stop. So...the horse isn't doing it on his own. He's taking commands.

And I don't think he's abused at all. He's strong and looks like he's well-fed, and has no scuffs, and he's all clean. Oo How could anyone think abused?

[clu412]

i would say trained for two reasons. the first one, he's standing perfectly still and seems completely content until all of a sudden he starts 'dancing'. also my family has been breeding and raising arabian horses since before i was born. i'm seventeen and i have never seen an arab do quite that. they can get jiggy undersaddle or hot depending on bloodlines and other factors. so i would say trained, but i'm no expert and i could be wrong.

[timschennen]

thanks clue412 for your respectfull coment

[clu412]

you're welcome. :]

[kikingfriesian]

perfeclty trainned.. maybe.... correctly trainned... not so. its an irregular piaffe with lack of balance, streighntess and engaging of the hind quartes. its a pitty that such beautiful horses are being trainned this way.

[XSoloDaBeastx]

he's probs not trained, as my arab does that on her own, she flings her quarters right to left too, just she looks happy when she does it.

[tonx82]

nice...i hope the trainer isnt just behind the camera with a whip threatening the horse....but overall good

[horserider567]

Hmm...I'll go with ABUSED.

[IHMJ5307]

wat a beaty!!

[SierraGal99]

Trained for sure

[gottaride112]

trained

[horsecrazieneigh]

trained obv

[cammarkgross]

I love how he looks both ways before he started dancing!!=)

[2girlsAndAbreyer]

TRAINED!

[2girlsAndAbreyer]

hot blooded horses......I LOVE THEM!!!

[horsecrazy1325]

lol how cute

[erajinete]

what is this breed?? He is nice to look at

[heathergirlrox]

umm look at at his build? he's an arabian,duh!

[erajinete]

Duh is right! Obviously I can't read either.

[lldaigle]

Just looks frightened to me....

[whitemoondancing]

Trained def! but natural talent!!!!

: )

[whitemoondancing]

Beautiful horse, horrable to see it tied up like that and "proforming" in my view like seeing a bird trappred in a cage! lets see it dancing free!

[ridingisasport]

and the ties should really be attached to the posts much higher up, if he pulls back like that he'll hurt his back.

[robinyoung71]

I think the ties are low like this to encourage him to lower his head so that he can work off the bit to engage his hindquarters. If he were being left there than i could understand raising them.

[ridingisasport]

no offence but the horse cant work strictly off the bit b/c there is no bit. If you look close you can see its a halter.He is not engaging his hindquarters and look what hes doing with his front legs.

[horsegurl4life]

I am gonna go with trained. If you listen there is a guy in the background kissing at him. And then he says whoa and the horse stops.

[barebackxrider]

Im going to go with not trained just very exited and releasing his energy normal arabian ahaha (: very very cute

[lillyshow4u]

beautiful horse it's be better if you go on him ...

[ladybloodrose]

nice ;) beautiful horse btw ^_^
