horses with bits slow motion high speed recording

[AllAmericanAgility]

The bit's just way too big..

I suppose you are all perfect riders! 8D

It's actually called 'Accepting the bit." And dressage horse, including Totillas, does it. Notice he is the top dressage horse, and I suppose you all know more than Totilas's rider.

that riders hands are wayyyy harsh :S

[tweeniemischief]

That kid in the background is so creep...

[maiavage]

Well, obviosly it looks like the bit is way too big for the horse. Even thugh the rider is pulling in the reins, the bit isn't supposed to be pulled many centimeters out of the mouth, which it does in this film

what a pretty horse! its so sad to see that :(

[amerryamerry]

This is great, people usually just show images of horses with bits and the comments say "yeaaa, but thats just a bad moment!!" and so on... But now they can see how many "bad moments" there actually are...

[Lunakhouvnu]

ocharmeee echt erg ;o zo ligge snokke in dien mond, da beest eeft duidelijk pijn, zijn mond gaat telkens open :o

[kikiza123]

hes not sawing. hes wiggling his wrists. i do it all the time to make my horse lower her head or slow down

[robinweiden]

ik weet niet wat je ermee wil zeggen hoor maar als het paard dit niet goed meer vind geeft ie wel een bok en pleurt ie de ruiter er wel af;)

[DianXX1]

@robinweiden Nou dat is dus niet waar. Als die dat doet krijgen de meeste paarden nog ergere straf dus zullen ze dát wel achter wegen laten.

[Cheesekake343]

That horse doesn't look insanely uncomfortable. Besides, the rider appears to be "sawing"

[BerechjaX]

Oké, zij trekt best wel in de mond van het paard, maar wat wil je er mee zeggen? Het kan niet? het is zielig? Maar wat dan?

niet iedereen rijd zo toch?!

[crazyimagination]

one of the down points of this bit is that it can be pulled out quite a bit on the side so i would add rubber rings to the side to prevent this :)

[PoulnabroneModesty]

yeah the slack rein ain't so good, but the horse has a really good head position, not rolled into himself or anything!

[jmdnarri]

Yes a bit moves when the rider applies pressure, so what is the point of this clip? This horse dosn't show any signs of discomfort. the horse's posture is indistinguishable from that of a horse riden bit-less

[ArweynXSilver]

Maar niet alle paarden worden toch zo behandeld? Er zijn veel paardenmensen die met bit rijden en niet zo trekken...Dit is natuurlijk een extreem geval en ik keur het ook niet goed, maar ik blijf er bij: niet iedereen handelt zo

[duckhollowfarm]

Ouch. Far from subtle half halts on contact followed by a slack rein and a good smack in the mouth. Hey, but at least the flash is tight, so the poor beast has no hope of escape.

What a beautiful animal!! Cool video, love it!
