Excited Horse, Trotting on the spot

[terry11905]

Beautiful horse!

[TheHorselover42]

tie the chaps!

[dragonflyinhaven]

Its called a Piaffe l:>l

[HannuGirl10]

@dragonflyinhaven no, if a horse is just exited or wants to '' play '' then its is NOT called a piaffe, piaffe needs more work, not that a horse will do it by himself .

[dragonflyinhaven]

@HannuGirl10 Thats true. But back then i didnt know much about dressage lol.

[manodeus01]

uau!!! , qui cavalo lindo ,

[KaliJumping]

she was not pulling that much the horse was playing with the bit

[NBakker1994]

Uhmm. if you don't pull that much in the horses mouth it'll be much relaxed. Some ppl shouldn't ride a horse

[MRSshowjumpergirl1]

@NBakker1994 and some people should keep theyre oppinion to themselves.

[NBakker1994]

@MRSshowjumpergirl1 If you don't want other ppls oppinions, you shouldn't post vids on youtube :)

[jessielovesmonty]

@NBakker1994 and i guess you were a perfect rider right from the very moment you sat on a horse?

[NBakker1994]

@jessielovesmonty I am not saying that..? I wasn't but here in holland the first lesson you get is to not pull in the horses mouth. kinda obvious? I just think it's sad for the animal ..

[MsBoo4444]

[MsBoo4444]

[creaturelover]

Love when they do that :)

[showjumper6868]

umm thats a piaffe

[LoloXXScotty]

@showjumper6868 no its not a piaffe is a controlled movement, this isnt controlled like a piaffe

[showjumper6868]

@LoloXXScotty ya but if you look at the rider they look like they are asking the horse to do it

[LoloXXScotty]

@showjumper6868 yeh it may look like it to you but to me it looks like the rider is holding the horse back

[showjumper6868]

@LoloXXScotty well thats your opinion so keep it to yourself

[LoloXXScotty]

@showjumper6868 no! you cant tell me what to do! why dont you keep your thoughts to yourself eh?

[showjumper6868]

@LoloXXScotty well for one i didnt even write this my friend and i share the account and she wrote it so i cant keep it to myself but you can.

[1002Lollipop]

@showjumper6868 thats not piaffe, thats called trotting on the spot...

[showjumper6868]

@1002Lollipop sorry my cousin posted that and she thinks she knows everything! haha it kind of loks like it at first but yeah the horse moves around a lot

[1002Lollipop]

@showjumper6868 ok haha

[Sarma1188]

He tries to open mouth. If there was no noseband, he would succeed. All he can do is pull chin to chest which is also unpleasant and it all sums up in being "excited".

[03firefly]

@Sarma1188 Nosebands don't stop horses from opening their mouths

[Sarma1188]

@03firefly If you put a strap around a mandibula and maxilla and fasten it I see no other function. Take off the noseband and the rider looses "control" or "contact". Fig. speaking horse tells us: "It's painful" by opening mouth. With noseband the horse is mute.

[03firefly]

@Sarma1188 Yes, types of nosebands can be used to control the mouth. But where this noseband is placed is merely cosmetic - for show. It has no "mouth controlling" Purpose, but is just there to look good... so yeah, I guess they could take it off, but that wouldn't have changed anything about this video. I've seen plenty of horses with this style of noseband yawn, graze, and neigh without any signs of discomfort.

[Sarma1188]

@Sarma1188 I haven't seen any rider letting noseband hang loose. It is always tightened. If you want it "cute" then there is no need for a buckle to hold it. Modern "dressage" and other pain-based practises would fall apart without nosebands and double bridles.

[Ciaro869]

@Sarma1188 i totally agree wit de first part about de noseband strange rite

[x48beckstar48x]

@Sarma1188 I don't actually understand my pony opens and closes her mouth with the noseband done up it doesn't stop them doing that, Unless you have like a flash noseband or something added to it.

[Sarma1188]

@x48beckstar48x It depends on how you tighten it. But there is always some degree of restriction of mouth movement if it is used. Usually horses move aorund with mouth shut. The fact that horse moves with mouth opened means there is some kind of discomfort involved, something that doesn't let keep the mouth closed. It is impossible to find a free and healthy horse running in liberty with opened mouth.

[spoie2222]

@Sarma1188 I agree with you but she does look like she is pulling back on the horse rather alot so that is probably why.

[LoloXXScotty]

@spoie2222 she is only pulling alot cos clearly is she relaxes the horse will just go and she is trying to get it to stand! and if you are a proper horse rider you will have been in that situation before and understand it

[07amanning]

aww lovely horse my horse does that with me when im geting him in well wiles hes moving but its the same sort of thing

[pagehan]

what a beauty.

[quarter9horse]

[emmettsgirl981]

This horse is a beauty although it would look better if it wasn't in slow motion
