why dock the tail? for safety? what a stupid excuse. you can just tie and wrap the tail up, takes not longer than literally 5 min. so why let the tails of saddlebreds, morgans and arabians grow so long if you use them for pulling carrage?
come on people, docking a tail is so yesterday!!! As you should know, horses use their tails to swat flies.
@jory84 I agree. Maybe way back when it was okay... but I don't like it now. A horse is boarded at my house that lost her tail (infection, not docking) and she goes crazy cause of the flies. But other than that, It's just nasty to me. And for the record I don't like docking dogs' tails or ears either. But just my opinion:)
I can't tell if riding bareback on a draft would be REALLY comfy, or REALLY bouncy.... Looks pretty comfy tho. :) I love riding bareback, just wish my horse's withers weren't so prominent. O.o
@NaturalJumper1032 It's really comfy. A friend of mine has a Percheron/Quarter Horse cross that looks pretty much like a pure Percheron. I rode her for about 6 months while her owner was out of the country, and I loved riding her bareback. You had plenty to grip with your legs and her back was nice and flat. It was like sitting in an easy chair. Especially when you compare that to my own Arab/Saddlebred cross who is very narrow in comparison...
well my crappy computer won't load this but ignore any bad comment cause the part i saw was good and if there were any ruff parts it was your first class no big deal :) but i have a tennessee walker and i absolutely love riding bareback i have searched online and asked people about bareback competitions and all they've said was ride a buck i want to do something like this :D but idk where to go or how to get started any advice? btw i ride western and live in nc
um im new at riding i ride western and this looks like a western class but the anouncer says trot i thought it was jogging in western i'm probobly wrong but can someone help me
@dilarm A bareback class can be english or wester because obviusly your not using a saddle :) but yes in western its called a jog. If you have any other questions feel free to ask :)
Beautiful horse! And I've never been in a show like this nor heard of one, but I have ridden a Belgian Draft Horse bare back and It's awesome 8D. Made my already small butt look tiny though lol.
@XXNichtlustigXX Most of them are probably braided and wrapped up because it's kinda just what you do with Drafts - it comes from their tails always being braided (or docked) so the tail doesn't get caught in the cart or wagon it's pulling. People do it now for that same reason, because that's just what you do with drafts, or even because it looks better, since many times breeders don't breed 'for a tail' because they're just going to be tied up anyway, so some drafts have small/thin tails
@ZackAlice Drafts are often driven in teams of two. In this set up if the tail gets caught in part of the harness it could do great harm to the horse. To avoid a future injury the tail is sometimes docked. If a horse is driven single or ridden I do not think docking is ever a good idea.
Heyy there! I am getting Belgian pretty soon, any advice? I have two Quarter horses now so horses aren't new to me, I'm just trying to get some insider tips!
@MissHorseyness thanks the quarter horse isn`t really mine hes the barns owner horse but i just got a paint horse well hes regerstered as a paint but his breed is a quarter horse but i got him for christmas his names Romeo
1. gib nicht mit deinem körper an sondern treib mit deinen beinen !!!!
2. diese schweifee viiiiielllll zu kurz so können sich ja die pferde nicht gegen die fliegen wehren spinnt ihr eigentlich soo kurz weisst du eigentlich was für qualen das sind??'
Your transitions were harsh, as in that first halt was dreadful, you just kind of yanked on the horse's face out of nowhere, but still cute. also, tight turn.
I'm not saying this to be rude or whatever, but some horses, to get the message through, you have to use a pretty harsh hand. The Friesian I least, Juliette, needs a VERY harsh hand to get her to stop, and she's been under saddle for 13 years. She's just stronger in the head, so she needs a harder hand. As far as I know, she's never showed signs of that hurting her, my trainer is much stronger than me, and she STILL has to use a harsh hand.
I just stopped my lease with this stubborn clyde-cross because he was so headstrong. I felt like all my ride was spent hurting his mouth without meaning to, but unless I yanked on his face constantly he would be ridiculous. I now lease an unbroke ex-pulling horse. Oh dear. Haha.<3
And that means you can't search for a gentler alternative? Because they do exist, it only requires persistence and training on the human's part, more than for the horse, if you get my drift.
Just hook the reins up to the halter and start in the round pen or on the ground. Your horse will need to learn the leg cues better, most english horses dont learn the leg cues for steering since they rely on the direct reining which is tough on their mouth!
Where did you learn how to ride bridlelees? I want to learn to do so badly, but my horse hates bareback therefore I have to use a saddle, but going without a bit would be nice because i feel like I'm to dependent on it. Could you please help?
hi what you should do is keep the saddle on but purchose a "hackomore". they are designed to put slight pressure on a differnt parts of a horses face to keep it under control,,and in stead of pulling,,pulling,,pulling on the reins wich is conected to the mouth then you can just do a slight pull back and the pressure on the horses nose,,is telling him to stop,,making a smoother transtion..making it easier to ride to...then go on to going bareback!!
Thank you, and that's a good idea. I board my horse out, but someone there has a hackamore that she said I could use if I ever asked her. But she warned me that it wasn't as good as a bridle with a . . . bit . . . but I think that bits aren't exactly the best for a horse especially when you have unsteady hands . . . that would be me. Thanks again!
UMmmmm yeah a hackamore is harsher than a snaffle bit. It really hurts the sensative areas of a horses face- most hackamores are NOT shaped when you purchase them- and will touch incorrect area's - just start with a rope halter and tie reins on the sides of the halter- so long as you know how to initiate a one rein stop you should be fine! The horse gets direct pressure so he will know which way to go- but you want be yarding on his mouth or breaking his nose!
My mom has told me the same thing about hackamores. Ah, a rope halter, now that sounds like a good idea although what is the one rein stop? I've never heard of it, but I would love to know more since my horse...he is currently injured, but the vet said I can ride him at the walk only. He goes crazy without turnout...he really can't go out because he loves running...that's the last thing he needs right now. ...a one rein stop...could you please tell me more about it? Thanks!
OK- sometimes if you ride in a rope halter(the flat halters with buckles are not good for this exercise simply because the pressure is too spread out)- the horse may not want to stop when you pull straight back with - so in order to get your horse to stop in a emergency- just grab one rein ( making sure the opposite rein is loose) and pull your horse in a tight circle until he stops. If your horse continues walking slow tight circles- just lean the other way in the saddle( to the outside)
If you lean out of the circle it encourages the horse to stop- because it sets him/her off balance- when the horse stops- immediately release pressure!!! Good Luck!!
Whoops, I accidently replyed back on my sister's account, VampireHavenCreator. This is my real account,KrisandGM4Life,I appreciate the extra news about the one rein stop,I think I have heard of it before only with a different name, who knows? Thanks again! My horse doesn't bolt...my sister's horse...hahaha...yeah...Wow,that sounds like such a wonderful idea...no bit or breaking the nose...thanks again! My horse and I both appreciate it!
Hey guys! I got a new barebck video called Bareback Adventures 2008. Check it out and tell me what you think! It is my first time playing with videomaker so be nice... :-)
Beautiful horse and nice ride. I love how people see something different from what they are used to seeing in pictures or movies and automatically scream "ANIMAL CRUELTY" I wish people would educate themselves before making stupid comments!!
i agree....learn the sport/hobby/show/etc before judging. It may be easier to say this to yourself before making an assumption: "I judge myself 10 times over before judging you."
Well in a bareback class for drafts, you try to show off to the judge and if you stay on the rail they cant see you. Youre pretty much trying to show off as much as possible!
i felt the same way till i drove a percheron with its tail down....its poor tail kept getting caught by the single tree, wheels and shafts! now i try to keep them somewhat short enough and then during show season, up they go cause it is a lo of work to braid a tail bun with a lo of hair!
He looks like a comfortable ride. Very pretty horse! What a cutie :) Theres a horse just like that in 4-H who towers over everybody else in the show lol
there are bareback classes?

UMmmmm yeah a hackamore is harsher than a snaffle bit. It really hurts the sensative areas of a horses face- most hackamores are NOT shaped when you purchase them- and will touch incorrect area's - just start with a rope halter and tie reins on the sides of the halter- so long as you know how to initiate a one rein stop you should be fine! The horse gets direct pressure so he will know which way to go- but you want be yarding on his mouth or breaking his nose!

Im hoping my last post worked-
continued-
If you lean out of the circle it encourages the horse to stop- because it sets him/her off balance- when the horse stops- immediately release pressure!!! Good Luck!!

Beautiful horse and nice ride. I love how people see something different from what they are used to seeing in pictures or movies and automatically scream "ANIMAL CRUELTY" I wish people would educate themselves before making stupid comments!!

i agree....learn the sport/hobby/show/etc before judging. It may be easier to say this to yourself before making an assumption: "I judge myself 10 times over before judging you."

Oh, what gorgeous horses! Why aren't you supposed to stay on the rail?
If I had to do an extended bareback trot on my arab, I would go flying for sure.

Well in a bareback class for drafts, you try to show off to the judge and if you stay on the rail they cant see you. Youre pretty much trying to show off as much as possible!

I think that is would be more attractive if drafts weren't required to have their tails docked, but maybe that's just me.

i felt the same way till i drove a percheron with its tail down....its poor tail kept getting caught by the single tree, wheels and shafts! now i try to keep them somewhat short enough and then during show season, up they go cause it is a lo of work to braid a tail bun with a lo of hair!
