ITS CRUEL THEY WANT TO BE FREE NOT HAULING SOMETHING THEY DONT LOVE IT!1 U ARE ALL IDIOTS TO EVER TORCHER A POOR ANIMAL THAT DESERVES TO BE IN THE WILD!!!!!! GOD MADE ANIMALS TO BE TREATED WELL AND USE FOR PURPOSES NOT FOR SHOW !!!
!!! god made animals for human use! and that is NOT hurting those animals! it is another thing to keep them in shape and HEALTHY those horses love pulling! Do you even own horses???? or ANY animals???
si es indiganante esta situasión yo estoy en contra de cualquier tipo de maltrato a animales...ellos deben ser libres por naturaleza, luego no se quejen de las agresiones a humanos, ellos lo unico que hacen es defenderse, pero al final a toda acción, hay una reacción........soy una persona indignada de ver como maltratan a estos animales......y no me gusta....
in europe, we do that on long distance with LOGS , it is more beautyfull to watch and horses pull the load on long distances (about 50 meters... even more)
These horses are obviously well cared for, and their body language shows that they tolerate and even enjoy what they do. Sadly, I can't say the same for the rest of the animals in rodeo. It's just altogether a cruel and twisted event.
@colijuli how is it cruel if you don't mind telling me. Those horses look perfectly fine with this. They're obviously well cared for, there's no way they could pull this much if they were in any condition less than perfect.
"hahahahahahahahaha it's so cool and funny to support animal-abuse by paying for a ticket to watch such a show hahahahahahaha"...i cannot even explain how much hatred i feel for those people...
@TheKampfkeksi agreed!!! people against rodeo are so effing stupid!!! horses were bred to work they are not hurt! neither are the rest of the rodeo stock, they are perfectly fine! Its like people live in these romanticist bubbles, its so freaking annoying!

@TheKampfkeksi i did misunderstand, looking over it again. I am sorry.

look at how much adrenaline some of the horses have, their liturally rearing to go!!
look at the pair at 2:40 for example, dragging the two guys away xD i swear the black on at 3:16 has had his limbs swapped for kangeroo legs!! xD (joke btw)
@KamatzKatan They are not taunting the bull they are trying to get him out of the arena. The purpose of the clowns is to distract the bull while the rider gets out of the way. The pick-up men (on horses) are there to herd the animal out of the arena. In this case the bull was being very difficult to get out so they roped him and pulled him out.
Such beautiful animals! I don't necessarily agree with taunting animals like some rodeos, etc. tend to do, but pulling animals love what they do...these large draft horses down to sled dogs. Such amazingly adapted animals!
I don't like the first part of the video. Rodeo is about taunting the animals and is meant for sad and frustrated people who want to pick on the easiest target. An animal who can't do anything.
@FirstBurns You're an idiot. Rodeo is not about taunting animals. The animals do plenty to hurt the people in rodeo. More people are hurt than animals annually in rodeos. In fact, there was a survey done that out of 200 rodeos conducted, 0.00047 percent of the animals were hurt. Come on. The animals in rodeo love what they do, and it keeps them from going to the meat grinder.
@FirstBurns - its not just the taunting, the poor cow was being mad a mockery off and then the stupid "cowboys" roped a lassoo around the poor things neck practically dragging it away!! ..
id love to wrap a rope around their necks and see how they like it!!
@thefemaleboss91 do you really think the animal is worried about being embarrassed? are you that stupid? and he ways over 2000 pounds! that rope is NOT hurting that animal!!!
@rodeoqueen1300 first things first, i am NOT stupid, i was posting my comment, but i have a question for you, do YOU have that much of a boring life to reply to atleast 6 different people in the space of how many minutes?? whether or not the animal weighs well over 2000lbs is totally irellevent to my comment.
Imagine how well manored these animals have to be. So large and strong. Easily able to kill those handlers or harm them, get out of control, etc. and yet they don't. Heck they are like two perfect angels making it all look easy. :)
The only thing I don't like is that some of the handlers used headholders, ropes designed to hold the horses head up to make it look fancy, other wise it was awesome to see farme horses really are amazing
@98Selina1 what are you some kind of an idiot? the lower lip moving like that means he's excited. he loves doing this. look if you don't know what the hell your talking about keep your moronic comments to yourself. If you don't know ask and someone will tell you. only thing that pisses me off is the way the owners of these draft horses spoil them.
@98Selina1 hahahahahahahahhahaha I know a mare as soon as you get her out of the stall her lip starts flapping. She does it running around on her own. It doesn't mean their angry it means they are excited. It is just a habit some horses have
@98Selina1 they are not angry! its just an excited habit a lot of horses have! If those horses were angry and did not want to do that, a little bit and leather harness would NOT stop them from showing it. These animals way a ton, if they were angry you would know it. What has happened to common sense these days? Grow up and quick trying to find a reason to bitch.
I don't know whether to thumbs up or down this. I love to see draft horses work and it doesn't go against the animal's natural behavoir. But the first part of this clip infuriates me and is the reason I have boycotted rodeos since I was a teenager (back in the early 60's). I boycott rodeos, dressage, circuses and anything else I consider to be cruelty to animals. But this is what the animal is meant to do naturally. So is racing, however, I consider racing exploitative. Yet I love it.
JCVdude, I guarantee you there's not a horse in this whole video that weighs less than 2000 lbs. I used to own (he died) a quarter horse that was 15.5 hands tall and weighed over 1400 lbs. He was big for a quarter horse but would look like a pony beside one of these horses. These are 18 to 19 hands tall. A 6' tall man is 18 hands and most of these horses are taller than the men walking around.
Draft horses love to work. All horses like to work. If a horse just stands around, they lose the will to live, they need a job to do or else God needs to replace them. That's why my horses have a job, to carry me over jumps!
JEnnY3334 oh yeah def. i was running my barrel horse with a twisted snaffel and she was terrible getting her into the arena was a pain but i switched to a straight but and she is so much better its funny what those little things can change
i don' get it, do these horses have an amount of time to pull the sledge, or just pull it to a certain part, or something entirely different? but beautiful horses
If these horses really hated what they do, or what these men train them to do, you can bet they'd let someone know! They're huge! They could kill a man in a sec.
So don't preach about how "cruel" this is. These animals love it!
@XxXponyzXx They dock the tails to keep them out of the rigging. It would be more cruel to have its tail ripped off or severly damaged when the horse lunged against a load. Pay attention to how some of them hit the loads, this is a real danger. For the same reason they cut the manes, although this also helps with keeping them cool while working.
@XxXponyzXx they dont feel the pain for the rest of their life.. even if the just cut the hair for the rest of their life instead docking them, the tail bone is still longer and the hair (even being short) would still get caught. if you have a horse, you understand that the tail bone is a bit long compared to one being docked. you cant just "braid" it and have it be the same length.
@XxXponyzXx lol dude chill. no one asked for yours either :] but that didnt stop you from saying it. FREEDOM OF SPEECH. im sure you are pretty dang good :) i never said you were a bad rider. but, ive been riding since i was 6 and you have no proof that you ride better. you may have more experience in english and jumping, but that doesnt necessarily mean you are a better rider. im 16 and train horses. so if someone trusts me to train their $12,000 AMHA, then i cant POSSIBLY be as bad as you think
@XxXponyzXx i said nothing of the sort :) i said "if you have a horse, then you understand". not once did i say you knew nothing about horses. thats why i told you to relax, because you're all upset when i never said anything mean to you. so since you're gonna repeat what you said, then so shall i :) dude, CHILL.
Draft Horses are great. I know some, they are well trainend and do Military quite well, the can jump over 1,20 m!! Looks great, when such a big horse does the piaffe or something^^
Ohm? I never said that it is ok that their tales are cutted?
And I have no idea about how it is in Canada??
In Austria it is forbidden to cut the horses tales so short, because then you take away a part of the bones in there. I just posted my opinion, that draft horses are great ;)
@thequeenmegs they aren't being hurt. i see what you mean though. I'm a 15 yr old girl and i flipp out if anyone hurts a horse. I saw a guy kick one in the mouth and i cried and flipped out on him. I also have two pulling horses, pulling on them doesnt hurt them one bit or i wouldnt do it and they'd let you know if it hurt. I also have a barrel horse pulling on her doesnt hurt her either. If horses feel pain you can bet they'll let you know it
@thequeenmegs they also dont have teeth where the bit is. they have the front teeth, then a big gap, and then the back teeth. the bit doesnt touch the teeth at all
@countrygirl9519 i agree. and even if you use a bit they dont like, they DO let you know. i was training a nine-year-old one time, and the lady wanted me to use a twisted wire snaffle. that horse HATED it and wouldnt let me touch the reins without throwing a huge fit. i tried a kimberwick and she was perfect. so yeah, when they dont like it, they DEFINITELY let you know.
@thequeenmegs i understand it seems like it hurts, but it doesnt. they wouldnt let you put it in their mouth if it hurt them. my horse practically grabs it out of my hand because she loves the bit i use. some bits they will hate, and you cant use the same thing for every horse. i use a hackamore mostly, because i dont like pulling on their mouth. but those things can be worse than a bit. they werent fighting the bit in this video. even if it looks like it. when they fight the bit you WILL know
@thequeenmegs that bit doesn't hurt them. if that bit hurt them they would let you know, people would die. The bit rests on a mucas pad on their gums behind their teeth. how hard or soft a bit you use is how callused that horses pad is. every horse is different. i can GARAUNTEE that these owners take extremely good care of these horses, and made sure they had a comfortable bit. these owners are working WITH there horses. not against them, by these horses body language they arehappy
Its not like its hurting them. Like Emura100 said, they require training to be happy and healthy. You can compare it to a cheetah that isnt allowed to run.
man that is a verry skinny bull. thats the only cruelty i see here. all of the horses look like theyre well cared for. its the poor bull in the beginning who im concerned for.
A lot of people don't seem to realize that a draft horse needs to be worked in some way (usually pulling) or it won't live a very long life. Without being worked a draft horse will lose the muscle it has and won't be able to support it's own bones easily. This isn't cruel, it is what they were born and bred to do. Draft horses are still used today in jobs such as logging. Why? Because they can go where trucks can't.
@Emura100 Yes, I own three retired draft horses and they are full of pain and arthrosis and live only half as long as normal horses. It is one thing to let a horse WORK, but a totally different matter to let a horse work in a HEALTHY and sustainable way. Extreme sports is not healthy.
@ShKhari I have seen draft horses have a pulling career up into their 20's with no problem. I have seen many breeds with arthritis problems. I have seen many species with arthritis problems. Arthritis doesn't always mean that the animal was abused. The drafts don't make a living doing pulls. They make a living pulling logs, plowing, pulling carriages. I wouldn't call that extreme sports. I would call that WORK.
let that poor calf go! assholes! they're taunting it, it just wants to go and be with it's fellow cattle, but it's tied(and who knows what they did ot it earlier!) to a monkey on top of a horse. Poor thing, I feel so sorry for any animal helpless at the hands of these bastards! EMPATHY...you might want to try it some time!!!
@JustinTvOwning ...or maybe you since you are a danger to every living thing. You don't deserve to live. Better watch it, or you might end up in a jail cell with a killer like yourself.
@skippycroissant since when did lassoing a cow become trying to rip its tail off? you have some serious eye problems if thats what it looked like to you.. they never rip a cows tail off, smarty.
@JEnnY3334 I have seen that happen in rodeos, in person. I've also seen calves get their horns broken off. I've seen broncs break their necks and rodeo horses and bulls break legs, ribs, and noses. You can bet money these animals were put to death. They can't afford to fix an injured animal so they just put it to sleep.
@skippycroissant well lets look at yur comment. first any cattle that are injured are put down. of course they are their main purpose is to be slaughtered and eaten. now on to the horses. If the injury is something that will not interfere with the horses future health and performance it will get the required care. I have seen jumping horses break legs never mind the permanent damage it does and dressage horses with broken wind pipes from being forced into an unnatural position.
@123456789mischief cont. the financial ability to have a vet is very individual. some people show with very limited income others are very well off and that goes with any equine sport. so that is a pointless statement.
@123456789mischief Animals don't enter into these competitions by choice, their owners subject them to the danger. Valuable sport horses are different from calves and broncs. Rodeo animals are not worth as much, so any slight injury results in the animal being put to sleep. Now is that fair or right?
@skippycroissant better look at what a good bronc horse goes for. besides that is a bs statement since these are very valuable sport horses. the time the riders put into training them is where their value lies.
do the sport horses volunteer to be locked in small stalls? do they volunteer to be sent for meat if they don't perform up to standards? now is that right or fair?
@123456789mischief These animals are doing the work that they were bred for. Draft horses put their hearts into their work. Broncs buck because they're trying to escape pain and torment. The calf is being picked on for amusement, and that is cruel bullying. And I'm also against certain horse sports like racing because the animals are raced too young due to the economics involved. My point was that it's like a horse's life has a dollar price, and I think that's wrong.
@skippycroissant all hores wil buck broncs are encouraged to do it is all. the flanc strap is not put on to cause pain. it encourages a natural action.
@skippycroissant oh so i suppose we shouldnt walk dogs on leashes then? its no different. they were actually TRYING to get the bull out of the arena and with the rest of the cattle. RESEARCH... you might want to try it some time.
um in regards to the bull...it is a bucking strap...no barbs....and i rather buck off some cowboys and get some revenge..than be in a mcdonalds big mack
if you look closely at 2:15 they have a bearing rein on! thta stops them puting thier head down! thats mean as it forces thier head up. HAVENT YOU EVER WATCHED BLACK BEAUTY
@219horselover It's NOT mean and you can't believe everything you see in movies. Horses can't buck as well if you keep their heads up. This keeps them from hurting themselves when they're pulling. If they were allowed to buck while pulling, they could seriously injure and/or kill themselves. Get told.
@219horselover the overcheck or Bearing rein as u called it. is 4 safety not fashion as the 1 in black beauty was used 4. most harness horses wear them. i take care of harness racehorses who have 2 have an overcheck on the track as a safety precaution. the same at most shows. most horses dont need them on a home farm track, as they arent in the middle of a race & r relaxed most any horse will flip over if their overcheck is 2 tight. havent you ever been around REAL horses
@jonnyzz139 you're stupid there aren't barbs on the bucking strap. its practically a belt. they keep it tight enough that it stays on(because if it was to tight it would restrict their movement, preventing them from bucking) but loose enough that they think they can kick it off. get your facts before you accuse.
@BLOODYCLQ I read 20 mph in a book about the Knights Templar. Apparently the Knights used them for cavalry charges, since the 2,000 lb horse is pretty much unstoppable. I'd sure hate to be in the army that's getting charged.
@SpartanMan80 Yes, they are extremely intimidating. Even smaller horses are effective in crowd control. You have to appreciate the mass and power of these beautiful animals.
It is so funny. ? No, no, no. ! This bull is tired, and so, too bad pet, only to tire and that's it, I have a heart and would let that some animal had been affected in such a thing. ! The grandmother is still laughing, sorry for that village -.-
@JustAndOnlyM If your talking about the prancing they are doing right before they pull, that is actually them getting excited. My barrel horse does it every time before we run because he loves it and gets so excited to go he can barely contain himself so he "dances" in place.

In fact, there was a survey done that out of 200 rodeos conducted, 0.00047 percent of the animals were hurt. Come on. The animals in rodeo love what they do, and it keeps them from going to the meat grinder.

@FirstBurns - its not just the taunting, the poor cow was being mad a mockery off and then the stupid "cowboys" roped a lassoo around the poor things neck practically dragging it away!! ..

Imagine how well manored these animals have to be. So large and strong. Easily able to kill those handlers or harm them, get out of control, etc. and yet they don't. Heck they are like two perfect angels making it all look easy. :)

I don't know whether to thumbs up or down this. I love to see draft horses work and it doesn't go against the animal's natural behavoir. But the first part of this clip infuriates me and is the reason I have boycotted rodeos since I was a teenager (back in the early 60's). I boycott rodeos, dressage, circuses and anything else I consider to be cruelty to animals. But this is what the animal is meant to do naturally. So is racing, however, I consider racing exploitative. Yet I love it.

JCVdude, I guarantee you there's not a horse in this whole video that weighs less than 2000 lbs. I used to own (he died) a quarter horse that was 15.5 hands tall and weighed over 1400 lbs. He was big for a quarter horse but would look like a pony beside one of these horses. These are 18 to 19 hands tall. A 6' tall man is 18 hands and most of these horses are taller than the men walking around.

XxXponyzXx 1 year ago
@XxXponyzXx They dock the tails to keep them out of the rigging. It would be more cruel to have its tail ripped off or severly damaged when the horse lunged against a load. Pay attention to how some of them hit the loads, this is a real danger. For the same reason they cut the manes, although this also helps with keeping them cool while working.

XxXponyzXx 1 year ago
@XxXponyzXx they dont feel the pain for the rest of their life.. even if the just cut the hair for the rest of their life instead docking them, the tail bone is still longer and the hair (even being short) would still get caught. if you have a horse, you understand that the tail bone is a bit long compared to one being docked. you cant just "braid" it and have it be the same length.

If horses feel pain you can bet they'll let you know it

@countrygirl9519 i agree. and even if you use a bit they dont like, they DO let you know. i was training a nine-year-old one time, and the lady wanted me to use a twisted wire snaffle. that horse HATED it and wouldnt let me touch the reins without throwing a huge fit. i tried a kimberwick and she was perfect. so yeah, when they dont like it, they DEFINITELY let you know.
JEnnY3334 11 months ago
@thequeenmegs i understand it seems like it hurts, but it doesnt. they wouldnt let you put it in their mouth if it hurt them. my horse practically grabs it out of my hand because she loves the bit i use. some bits they will hate, and you cant use the same thing for every horse. i use a hackamore mostly, because i dont like pulling on their mouth. but those things can be worse than a bit. they werent fighting the bit in this video. even if it looks like it. when they fight the bit you WILL know
JEnnY3334 11 months ago
@thequeenmegs that bit doesn't hurt them. if that bit hurt them they would let you know, people would die. The bit rests on a mucas pad on their gums behind their teeth. how hard or soft a bit you use is how callused that horses pad is. every horse is different. i can GARAUNTEE that these owners take extremely good care of these horses, and made sure they had a comfortable bit. these owners are working WITH there horses. not against them, by these horses body language they arehappy

A lot of people don't seem to realize that a draft horse needs to be worked in some way (usually pulling) or it won't live a very long life. Without being worked a draft horse will lose the muscle it has and won't be able to support it's own bones easily. This isn't cruel, it is what they were born and bred to do. Draft horses are still used today in jobs such as logging. Why? Because they can go where trucks can't.
Emura100 1 year ago 59
@Emura100 Yes, I own three retired draft horses and they are full of pain and arthrosis and live only half as long as normal horses. It is one thing to let a horse WORK, but a totally different matter to let a horse work in a HEALTHY and sustainable way. Extreme sports is not healthy.
ShKhari 1 year ago
@ShKhari I have seen draft horses have a pulling career up into their 20's with no problem. I have seen many breeds with arthritis problems. I have seen many species with arthritis problems. Arthritis doesn't always mean that the animal was abused. The drafts don't make a living doing pulls. They make a living pulling logs, plowing, pulling carriages. I wouldn't call that extreme sports. I would call that WORK.

@JEnnY3334 I have seen that happen in rodeos, in person. I've also seen calves get their horns broken off. I've seen broncs break their necks and rodeo horses and bulls break legs, ribs, and noses. You can bet money these animals were put to death. They can't afford to fix an injured animal so they just put it to sleep.
skippycroissant 9 months ago
@skippycroissant well lets look at yur comment. first any cattle that are injured are put down. of course they are their main purpose is to be slaughtered and eaten. now on to the horses. If the injury is something that will not interfere with the horses future health and performance it will get the required care. I have seen jumping horses break legs never mind the permanent damage it does and dressage horses with broken wind pipes from being forced into an unnatural position.

@123456789mischief cont. the financial ability to have a vet is very individual. some people show with very limited income others are very well off and that goes with any equine sport. so that is a pointless statement.
123456789mischief 9 months ago
@123456789mischief Animals don't enter into these competitions by choice, their owners subject them to the danger. Valuable sport horses are different from calves and broncs. Rodeo animals are not worth as much, so any slight injury results in the animal being put to sleep. Now is that fair or right?
skippycroissant 3 months ago
@skippycroissant better look at what a good bronc horse goes for. besides that is a bs statement since these are very valuable sport horses. the time the riders put into training them is where their value lies.
do the sport horses volunteer to be locked in small stalls? do they volunteer to be sent for meat if they don't perform up to standards? now is that right or fair?
123456789mischief 3 months ago
@123456789mischief These animals are doing the work that they were bred for. Draft horses put their hearts into their work. Broncs buck because they're trying to escape pain and torment. The calf is being picked on for amusement, and that is cruel bullying. And I'm also against certain horse sports like racing because the animals are raced too young due to the economics involved. My point was that it's like a horse's life has a dollar price, and I think that's wrong.
