HorseDream Slow Motion - Sir Piter & Goody 2007

[liliodine]

What is with the sound effects. Very annoying.

[horsedream]

@liliodine Just the original music in slow motion. Best to turn the sound down.

[shpshftr66]

I thought this was an instructional video. Just showing horses in slow motion doesn't really teach anything about their body language.

[horsedream]

@shpshftr66 Really not?!

[shpshftr66]

@horsedream Yeah, really not. Sure, one can learn a lot about animal body language by observing them over time but for those who are unfamiliar with horse body language, watching just this one video isn't all that helpful unless someone explains what's happening and why. And, being someone interested in learning more about horse body language, I didn't find that this short video added any new information. I came here hoping for insight and didn't get any.

[horsedream]

@shpshftr66 We are working with a different approach: it is all about self reflection and self experience. There are no explanations at all. You only can see what you can see. What you cannot see in this moment has no need to be seen now. All our videos are so to speak small parts of a big picture. Our seminars are not about horses but about people - I'll add "as a metaphor" to the title to make it clearer. Thank you for bringing this to our attention.

[shpshftr66]

@horsedream I see your intentions and the videos themselves are great, it's just the title that misleading. It drew me in because the title stated that I'd be taught something, when I wasn't. Self reflection is great but unfortunately, just watching animals and making one's own interpretation have caused humans to personify animal behavior for eons, to attribute the behavior of animals to be the result of human-like thought and feelings. I'd rather someone who knows just explain how it is.

[ViVi80]

@shpshftr66 I agree. I didn't get any insight either. Leaving people to guess horses' behaviour is not the best way too learn, and too many people (even people who own horses) end up misinterpreting them. Try Rick Gore horsemanship ( from YouTube user 'horseawareness'). That's a guy who definitely knows horses, can explain horse behaviour from a horse's pt of view. very insightful.

one in the purple is probably more dominant seeing as how he just asserts himself without high energy actions

[janetgerl]

The calm horse seems to be patient with the one in blue who is so expressive, like he's trying to give warnings and saying "you better watch out for me because I'm really something" and the other more calm horse is not impressed, seems to be just waiting for the other to "get it all out" so that they can come together and be friends.

[horsedream]

@janetgerl In the meantime they have become good friends. You can watch them together in one of our latest videos, like Horse Assisted Education: Integral HorseMapping.

[barrelracer10000]

What the heck?!?!?!

[o0countrygal0o]

[wahcahph7416]

wat zegt die lichaamstaal dan? Twee ruinen die allebei de baas willen zijn?

[Adrenaline552]

that was cool to watch but i also wanted to say that if those horses where brush up a little more often that they would be really good lookin horses

[raindropsfly]

i love the horse on the left at 1:18.. he looks like he is spying on the other one. Lovely horses though!

[UmieCeair]

The one in the blue is a mare? She doesn't know what she wants. Hehe.

[horsedream]

Not a mare, two geldings, but the blue one still thinks he's a stallion...

[MaxD3]
