I work at one of the premier equine hospitals in the southwest. You would be amazed at how much people spend on their horses to keep them healthy. You don't just wake up one day and go "Four Wheeling" on a mule. It takes time, practice and skill. Trust me a 1000# equid will not do anything it doesn't want to. We have clients who can't trailer their horse cuz it's afraid of the trailer, we go to them. No amount of sedation will change his mind. Most injuries are from poor conformormation.
Awe, I wanna join those trips! They sound fun! And are you by any chance a competitive trail rider? I have a feeling it's a sport your horse could thrive in.
people what do you think they do in the wild. i believe the more stuff your horses isnt affraid of doing the better the horse. what they are doing is freakin awsome. if all you do is ride on flat groung all the time the horse gets bored.
haha i watched the video 3 times and 1.he didnt force his horse to do anything and 2. haha you didnt even jump over the guy lols you jumped next to him teehee
I love it when people who know absolutely nothing about horses make outrageous claims. Ask questions, don't make judgements. These horses actually love what they do.
half these people who comment probably dont own horses. If the horse did not think he could jump down, believe me, he wouldnt. This isnt abuse. I dont see anywhere in this video where he is forcing the animal.
these horses are obviously trained to do this kind of stuff. but if given a choice, would they really want to do this? the people who ride them obviously cant ride, or know anything about horses. a horse can get just as abused in the english showjumping world, but this is killer for fetlocks, hocks, and the horses back.
i have to agree with him you cant force a horse to do anything they have their own minds my horse will do anything for me its all about trust if the horse doesnt want to do it they wont.
I have not yet been able to force my horse to do anything. I will keep working out at the gym so that I will be strong enough to "force" my horse to do things.
Not being mean here but you don't need to force a horse its asking which is the problem. I know you are more then likely older than me and have more experience but a horse will put so much trust in a human that they are willing to do anything for them. Even if it means death. :( Found that out the hard way when i was 9.
If you honestly thought that horse looked like it was being forced into anything, you need glasses. It's good that the horse was trusting enough to do that.
@tuttoz You cant fix a broken leg on a horse you dill. Very rare that you ever can, they need all there legs for supporting them. I am saying this from experience.
of course you can , you wouldnt be able to ride it but you can fix it ...my dad had fixed a few , its rare when they do break theyr legs , i know, and its it takes way to long to get better so most people just kill them .
Its fricken cruel to even think about attempting to fix a horses leg, not worth putting them through it all, yes possible, but a broken leg is usually the end of them....
@inmadz I'd have to disagree we had a horse break its leg about 4 years ago, and we splinted it and made a sling to keep the weight off of his leg. As he healed we put his weight back on it, little by little, and now you can't even tell that anything has happened to him. 1 of my cousins and I show him regularly, she shows in jumping and I show him in all western events, he doesn't limp at all. You could ride him all day without him getting sore or anything. He is PERFECTLY fine, Vet approved!
@babycolt19 It doesn't look like they're forcing the horse to do anything,, remember horses are loads stronger than us and if they didnt want to they wouldnt,, also if the rider thought their horse was able to do it thats why they tried it mabe? He wasn't forced in my opinion
This was on our trip last fall into the back country of Southern Utah in Horseshoe Canyon, this is the canyon that Butch and Sundance traveled to get to their hideouts. It was a great 3 days of riding in this awesome canyon country..
Given the choice I don't think the horse would have a rider on its back if were getting technical! Great job wes and norm! Pleasure as always

the horses are trained to do this
this isn't poor .
the horses don't know else.
the horse and rider are trained by this and i have respect because the trainer
let the horse do it slow and when he thinks its clear.

the horse trusts his rider;
but still, this just looks like you're taking advantage of his nature and attempting to out-do eachother with whatever you do.
oh, and i believe the horse landed next to the cowboy.

It is more likely for a show jumper or a cross country horse to break its leg then this horse here.

noooo , if it would have broken a leg you take it to the vet and he fixes it ... its the racing horses whos stop racing after an injury ...

im 100% sure the horse absolutely adores the things this man bring his horse into.
It's trail riding, what do you think wild horses do?
stop being so critical, and actually learn and attempt to understand the way horses work before you comment, you sound ignorant.
