  • I wanna do a video about Equestrianism.. can I please take parts of this video??

  • What is the horse called that wins at 2:26?

  • i strongly disagree about the best game on computers being the one you mentioned i personally think it's SIMhorseracing it is wonderful and is very realistic just search it up and sign up it will just draw you in so much.

  • The victims of this sport end up in slaughter, I try to take them in when I can makes me sick that they have no heart or feelings for these poor creatures...:(

  • i cant play that website because i have to download it and if i download it its going to ruin the computer

  • BRAVEHEART !!!

  • I want to be a jockey too. I am a girl, I am 4 foot 9-10 inches tall. I weigh 89 - 96 pounds, it depends on the season. But this video is awesome, I could watch horses run all day long. LITERALLY!!!!!

  • @TheAnastasiaLee I am 14. 

  • Is the horse at 2:04 bleeding from his nose?8l

  • I hate those whips. Why can't jockeys ride without them?

  • @WannaFlyEverywhere No, they cant ride without them. They have no other way of asking a horse to excellerate. The stirrups are to short to kick. Besides, jockys used to wear spurs when horse racing first started and horses would have bloody punture wounds after races. So you decide, whips or spurs.

  • i love horse racing,hate watching the break downs. don't mind the whip, i ride with one myself although i rarely use it

  • i love how the horse at 1:34 does a flying lead change

  • @addictedtohorses100

    that's how horses "switch gears" and get some extra oomph :)

  • I don't like horse racing, but I love Race Horses.

  • I want to be a jockey

  • i hate how they whip them so hard but i love horse racing

  • I love it LOve the footage and the song!!!!

  • YOU LOST THE GAME!!!!!

  • I dont get the game??!!

  • the kingdom of heaven will not be seen by jockeys, lawyers and mothers in law, in that order

  • i want to be a jockey when i get older. people love their horses to much to let an idiot on their back. also, most people do not push their horses hard until about 4 years old.

  • @andrewschiffer What fantasy world are you in? Can you run 40 MPH? I didnt think so. You could NEVER outrun a horse.

  • @iloveCASH100 I was kidding, it's kinda very hard.

  • @andrewschiffer Oh, sorry it didn't seem like you were kidding.

  • i love horse racing sooooooo much i wanna be a jockey 1day. 1:44 beautiful

  • i ride horses and i agree with circumscottie because if the horse is lollygagging around u got to give it a FAIR beating not a beating where your hurting the horse but if the horse is doing a good job they you dont whip it so he made a point

  • i loooooooooove horse racing and thoroughbreds i want one when im older

  • Comment removed

  • Dont see the problem in whipping a horse to make it go faster. If I put money on a race I expect the jockey to give it a fair beating so it goes at max speed.

  • they dont whp the horse to make it go faster they brush the whip against the horses side to encourage it.

  • They actually dont beat them.

    I go to races every year & my grandad had a share in a racer.

    They wave the whip around.

    By the way, do you honestly think a horse is gonna go max speed by a little man tapping him on the bum?

    How big is a jockey?

    How big is a whip?

    How big is the horse?

    Its a tap, not a beating.

    Stupid man.

  • some wave it...but some definitely make contact and its not a light tap !!!! i'm sure some people go about things the right way but the horse racing industry is horrible thing very open to abuse and the horses suffer for it :(

  • Horses suffer in every displience. (:

    Its the idiots on theyre backs that are the ones that are abusive.

    Don't get 'horse racing abuse' and discusting human beings mixed up.

  • you are right in everyway...however i believe the racing industry is open to more abuse as more money is invovled, u can't deny some horses are pushed to hard and fast way to young. and if their wasn't a racing industry there would be no need for the 'doggers'...

  • what is the fastest kind of horses?

  • It all depends on the horse and distance. I've seen Quarter Horse/Thoroughbred match races go either way. Sometimes the TB wins, sometimes the QH. QH tend to run better at shorter distances and with TB's it depends on the horse.

  • yeah the fastest are usually quarter horses but they cant maintain that speed for long distances. they have short bursts of speed but their speed quickly dies down. thoroughbreds arny quite as fast but can keep a steady pace for longer distances. thats why when you race a quarter horse and a thoroughbred its not usualy a fair race. the quarter horse will start out in the lead and the TB will be close behind and when the QH dies down then the TB will get ahead and sometimes wins.

  • how about arabians? they don't race those?. are they faster then the others?

  • uhm, i dont think theyre faster but they have good stamina like TBs. people do race them but its not quite as popular.

  • thank you

  • Arabians are the fastest breed that ever lived?!?!!!

    But your right on the stamina bit, theyre bursts would only last about a full lap and a half.

  • @mafia1953 arabs are good at cross country. and they were used to improve the thoroughbreds. almost every good racing thoroughbreds got some arabian in him. and quarter horses are called that cuz they're the fastest to the quarter mile.

  • well the quarter horse is the fastest horse for a quarter of a mile, Thoroughbreds can run up to 40 mph so they are probably the fastest

  • what song is iit?!!

  • im going to pony camp in august the 11th for 4 days were gonna go to the beach and go bowling i am riding rupert and we are gonna canter on the beach and we are having a bbq and lots more! we are also entering in a competition

  • I love this game. It is full of beauty and grace. Nice Vid by the way!!

  • yeah its fun to ride horses but you might fall off one but its cool to ride one  well um bye!

  • um hi this show is cool oh i forgot did you know i  love horses!

  • certainly, horse racing rocks!!!

  • my dream

    to be a gr8 girl jockey x

  • i dont really think horse racing is cruel. thoroughbreds were born to run, and they love it, they love to compete and race, sure the outcomes may be terrible, but its the way they were built, horse racing is a chance to show what they can really do, and it makes them happy to be able to do it.

  • I could not agree with you more. A bunch of people are saying how cruel horse racing is now with Eight Belles, Go Between, and George Washington all gone. Horses were bred to run and enjoy it.

  • Ditto =D It may be a dangerous sport, but it is not cruel, and these Thoroughbreds live to run. They wouldn't know what to do with themselves if they couldn't. (And I should know, I ride a retired racing horse)

  • love it!!!!!

    i own a thoroughbred, best mare in the world!

  • i h8 racin its a nasty sport x

  • That is okay what you think, we all have our opinions on things.

  • I don't agree, I mean, horses who don't enjoy it never gets good at it and aren't raced any more, and of you use the crop too much you get disqualified. It's a tough sport, but definitely not nasty or cruel. They were born to run and if they weren't able do drain their energy they wouldn't be happy horses.

  • Im gonna be a jockey some day. I JUST HAVE TO!

  • whats the music on this?

  • It sounds like Braveheart

  • its from braveheart.

  • Aw, Georgie Boy. God he was beautiful.

  • I have a thorobred... he's the best thing in my life!

  • u mean thoroughbred?

  • wow where do you come from?

  • americasdaea

  • i hate if you say that they are CUTE

    look at them ! They are gorgeos, they are champions, they are just runners!

    strongest, best, most beautiful creatures on earth

  • ino what you mean

    a shetland pony is cute

    thoroughbreds are something beyond that there strong determind athlets not cute ponies

    there champions and always will be

    they stand tall and proud and so they should x

  • Are u trying to make me cry!!!

  • you did a really good job! all the horses are soo cute!

  • If it doesn't have harness racing, it isn't the best game out there.

  • Horse races are cool..

    But I hate those damn whips, if you can't ride your horse forward without it you're not a good rider at all.

  • Ha!

    Ok, you keep thinking that hijlaa.

  • Sarcastic or what?

    If so, I belive i'm right.. I only have to stand in the stirrups and say: JAA! and my horse is off in full-speed..

  • I am sure your horse has gone out of your control at some point, and you needed some extra stuff to keep him straight. You never know what a horse will do, you may have an idea but they can do anything. And a whip can help keep them straight.

  • @carlykaiser a whip never can straight a horse out, it just causes a bigger problem than whats at hand...I've had two horses that have had whips used on them and now they are scared to death of them, I have to becareful with anything in my hand that even remotely looks like a whip. Whips are just as bad as those people who put those god aweful shoes on the Walkers.

  • @carlykaiser A horse can feel a fly land on them. What do you think a whip feels like? And You use the reins and your legs to keep them straight. I ride! I know.

  • @WestlifeFan1995 jocks don't have the legs obviously because of their position. And whips really don't hurt. I test them on myself (my bare legs) and it's basically nothing. Just pressure is all it is. Horse skin is way tougher than a human's.

  • @carlykaiser okay i not being mean or anything but i use horse whips ....my horse gets cicodic honistly they do hit there horse a little to much.........but its harder to keep hold of thoroughbreds there just so dang jumpy,but but iam with carly you do need to get them going but i belive that horses that like to run like to run like ruffian she as amazing and he didnt even hardly hit her :) btw this is comimig from a 12 yearold that grew up with horses :)

    so thanks carly for posting this video!

  • @hijlaa Ommgg are you serious . your still freaking out about whips ? .. have you seen horses play fight in the paddock ?? if they can cop a fully loaded kick to the head , they can take a pissy little wip on the rump ok ?! geezzee

  • @hijlaa you know nothing about racing do you? some horses need the whip to give that bit extra because (like humans) there are some lazy sods that need an extra bit of encouragement. and are you saying 'no whips' for ALL racing? or just flat or national hunt? some horses have a tendency to hang left/right, a couple of slaps across it's hindquarters usually sorts that problem out. i won't go into how the whips are made to hurt the horse as little as possible, not like the whips of old.

  • im a jockey and i love horse racing! i race quarter horses and i have won a few races on a horse named Prarie! great vid! racing is truly amazing for the jockey and the horse!

  • The racing game you put in your description, does it work for macs? 'Cuz I downloaded it, and when I tried to open it up, it opened up iTunes on my computer... Any ideas why?

  • I love this video!

  • Where did you get your clips?

  • read the credits

  • Oh, kk thanks! Nice video!

  • thats a great video, but i could never be a jockey..

    do you think the horses enjoy the battle?

    I think so!

  • hey do you mind if i could use some of the clips in this video 4 mine? i love urs the best

  • Yup, go ahead

  • i love your video its really cool love it

  • I love horses and I want to be a jockey someday. :]

  • me too :D

  • Good luck, hope you achieve it.

  • I love horse raceing its my favorit sport i live on a race farm in kentuky my garndpas owns it and my dad is the head trainer

  • i think horse racing is great =D its just alot of the people who run it ruin it by abusing the horses when they don't win. thankfully not all of them are like that

  • i think your right.I know lots about horses because my mom had a horse when she was growing up and because my mom and dad used to live together but they got divorced but my dad is selling our good horses to the person thats moving in and he and his wife love animals and we only had one bad horse well i woudnt call him bad but he was very good at first but since we havent spent as much time with him hes scared of my dad.

  • great video =] i loveeeeee thoroughbreds<333

  • Whats the point of horse racing?but good job on the video!

  • What is the point of any sport?

  • yeah I never thoght of it that way lol

  • Or you can invite me for a chat at hunterandequit in yahoo.

  • What?

  • Just want a friendly chat and learn about the racing world. I know all about the jumper world but not about racing. Go to yahoo and download messager.

  • Nice come back dudette, beats anything I could have said :)

  • Wonderful video! This is all horse-racing right here.

  • Yes, because a video showing clips of horse racing would be way better if there was no horse racing even though thats the topic.

  • I dont get it at all!

  • oops my last comment seemed confusing, i mean OLD videos or whatever stats. ect... he doesn't race anymore.... thanks

  • hey great video, i love racing! i was also wondering if ANYONE here knows of some sort of organization or website that would help me find any of my horses races, he is about six, reg. name: Jans Melody, i would LOVE to see him race even though he wasn't very good =} IF anyone can help that'd be great.... AWESOME VIDEO!!!

  • Wonderful! Simply wonderful! Great job, you did absolutely marvelously!

  • This was beautifully put together!

  • Lovely, from an owners viewpoint - this is what racings about. To all the ignorant and uninformed, go and check out trackwork one morning. In Australia we are the most regulated and governed section of all equine disciplines - my horse wins on heart, not steroids or performance enhancing drugs. More Eventing horses are injured per year than racehorses. If its about greedI love seeing him out there giving 10000% - they run on courage and win on heart.

  • Great Job on your video! Where in the world did you get all the racing in motion! Wonderful music! Great piece of work!

  • Great video, Carly - one of my favorites of yours! Good choice of song, too; the Braveheart soundtrack rocks!

  • good someone is thinking straight i wonder if any one thatsay that racing horses is cruel actually meat the other people in the bis that care about the horse like me and my grandfather we have all of our horses that raced some did awesome and some not so great but we still went to all of there races and cheered them on no matter wat and now they are all living out the rest of there lives at the home they were born at my house

  • what a beautiful video. I wish more people could see this, racing isn't all about broken spirits and necks. Lovely, keep up the good work.

    agree with shymi....except....sometimes the live transport is horrific, thats the only bit I really despise.

  • we have six horses 4 exracers 1 yearling that is going to race and my other horse sky she is a pinto paint who was abused at the age of to by her former owner i would give my life for all of them

  • Carly, that is a beautiful film.

  • great video!

    i own an ex racer and i'm considering a career in horseracing. i board at a stable with a racetrack, and whenever i let her go, she flies.  it's completely obvious that she loves running. that's why i don't understand people who say that the horses hate it, and that it's only for our entertainment. it's in her heart, i know it is. she loves to run.

  • try fighing dreamers with this vid

  • What

  • the song fighting dreamers, from naruto, would go great with this vid

  • Carly,

    Another fine video. Thank you for showing the beauty.

    I wish those who think racing was cruel could get to work with racehorses....and see the love, and caring, and hard work that goes into making them loved and happy.

    Racehorses love to run, love the attention those of us who have worked with them know very well. Please do not judge everyone by the bad you hear, for that is inherent in any sport, the ownership of any animal, not just racing.

  • Thankyou.

  • Dear carlykaiser,

    Thank you for this vid. I am totally against exploiting animals for entertainment in any way, and I'm very happy that you've made this vid. Keep up the good work. :)

  • You are very welcome, and more will be coming, soon...

  • its ok i should of been more clear lol yea titanic has more flute and me the oboe lol

  • i no i realized that when u told me lol it sounds alot like titanic like a lot

  • Ah, I didn't understand, if you understood (does that make sense?) I don't think this sounds like titanic at all, Titanic is more flute-y and this is bag pipes.

  • yepp

  • No, it was from the movie Braveheart, not Titanic

  • kk after reading ur comments i have 2 agree with carly on all of these horse racing isnt steroids and drugging. Not all race horses go to the slaughter very few actually. its not cruel if the horses dont want to run they wont soo its there choice really. Yess horses do go to the slaughter house its bad but ppl r trying 2 stop it. Ne way luv the video and this music is from titanic isnt it. I got to play it on my oboe.

  • Braveheart.

  • G'day, i do not think racing is cruilty at all!

    Yes somone can put a video together of them falling but over how many years did all the lil clips vary?

    I ride track work and am a racing photographer.

    I am in the process of getting my farm up and running.

    Its for retired race horses and horses that have been hurt on the track!

    We have stables and Paddocks around the property.

    I cant wait till its up and running.

    I like this vid, Good job!

    KiMMi

  • Track work? Whats track?

  • Horses are being slaughtered, but they are NOT just race horses. Dressage horses, jumper horses, carriage horses - none is safe from this horrid fate. As in every sport, every country... there are people looking to bring in money and people who actually care about their horses. To generalize or say that most breeders, jockeys, racers, betters, have no concern for the horses is just plain childish. There are always dangers in every sport, and this one is no different.

  • thank you.

  • Why don't you show the many thousands of horses that are slaughtered because they can't return a profit. Horseracing is all about money and ego and all involved are complicit to the inherit cruelty that goes with it. By the way, they;ve banned horseracing in Israel. Why? because it's cruel and exploitive. Shame we don't have some of their wisdom

  • WHy don't you learn a little about racing, and realize how little are slaughtered?

  • Nice - but you forgot the behind the scenes part.. The steroids, illegal drugging the horses, over breeding, injuries straight to slaughter, etc.

  • Nice - but you forgot there's no steriods, drug usaged going down, NO over breeding, and that all horses go to slaughter. NOT just race horses.

  • that happens in every horse discipline. don't single out racing. not all racers go to slaughter. horses are really expensive. to be honest, why pay to keep a horse who can't be ridden if he/she's going to stand in a field for the rest of their life, rotting away? most of these horses become extremely skinny and abused. there are very few places who will take in unridable horses.

    so honestly... which is better?

  • i'm not all for slaughter, but i have to say that watching an abused, neglected horse with pain in his eyes hurts me deeply. over here, every ridable horse is sold to a riding facility of backyard and becomes a lovely riding horse. many go on to do very high level shows.

  • i would take in any horse no matter wat even if it means not eating for a few days

  • This is an amazing video, my friends and family are in the horse racing business, to all those that think we just get rid of our horses like their nothing, your wrong, we retrain them and they help teach kids how to ride and take care of horses. Horse Racing is not cruel,the horses love to do it, they would fight the jockeys, and wouldn't have their ears pricked forward. thank you carlykaiser for the vid. 5/5

  • thank you Carly for make this video. It represents in a very good way our passion and love for horses and horse racing. I became a vet student for my passion for this animal and this sport...for me it's all in my life.

  • Good luck on being a vet! Should be exciting!

  • may i ask where you went to college? i am only in hs but i really want to be a vet badly!!

  • my cousins studying to be a vet.

  • Its good to finally see something good about horse racing for once. My family is in the business and its good to finally see something good and not omg this is so inhumane. great video good job

  • This is awesome i mean i love thoroughbreds they rock and like i have some so i love this video

  • Lovely video. Finally one that isn't a bunch of junk over how "inhumane" horse racing is.

  • Great video. like said its nice to see one that isnt Anti-Horseracing. My family is in the industry and its nice to see something good posted about racing. I love the end too where you can hear the horse running and breathing. nice job!

  • all of you are stupid.Most race horses get sent to slaughter after racing. Mainky becuase if they dont beat the time by ever 4 seconds, get injured,and go lame....race horses life may be nice for the first few years..until they are like 4 or younger....until they are slaughtered.

  • You are stupid. Not most. the vast.... VAST majority are sent to a farm, to have babies, and run around in a huge paddock.

    Or sold to owners who will train them as jumpers, like my horse.

  • You're quite wrong. Most racehorses are retired to the breeding farm, and those that aren't are usually retrained for something else. Stop being so naive, very, very few racehorses go to slaughter - and not because they lose races, get injured, or go lame.

  • good video

  • awesome vid, where did u get the clips frm?

  • I say at the end

  • good job.. horses love to run... especailly barbaro... he wold not have been good if he didnt want to race... miss u bobby... good job... i liked the video of goerge washington

  • i VERY GOOD VIDEO.i hate al thes peopel who spread(dark side)videos.Every thing have its good and its bad side.these horses love to run.I worked in a racehorsestable,and i just say racing and endurance riding is the sport which fits the best in the nature of the horse.A horse is made for running nor for jumping,..

  • But don't you think steeplechasing is a bit cruel? I don't mind flat racing but just asking (I'm not a horse expert). Are some races a little bit too long for the animals? Because they look so exhausted after they raced!

  • I don't think steeplechasing is cruel either, not that much difference between it and show jumping. And no, I don't think the races are too long either, many of these racehorses are bred specifically for stamina and are meant to run two miles or more. Now if you were to take a sprinter and race them long then that horse would be tired and not finish well. So some races are too long for some horses but perfect for others.

  • Oh, ok. Thanks!

  • Steeplechasing isn't cruel, it's dumb. Horses are perfectly capable of galloping up to obstacles and making it over. All flat races used to be in two to four mile heats, so the distance is no problem. They might get a little worn out, but they love it.

  • very nicely done, love that you put "Slew" in there.

  • There's nothing more beautiful than a horse putting his heart into what he loves. It makes me sad to see so many "dark side" videos on youtube that make it look so horrible. Thanks for posting a positive one!

  • I love it!

  • you make really good videos

  • Thank you, so much!

  • Brilliant, it has Geoegy Porgy on it so that makes me happy <3
