I'm NOT in favor of this tradition but i'm not stupid. that horse is in great health and whether ppl believe it or not, horses(especially stallions with the extra testosterone and energy), LOVE having jobs. even if it's dangerous, the adrenalin for a stallion of taking on another animal and defeating it gives him pride. also this breed of horses were used in war so it's in the blood to be calm(yes i've done research lol) his ears aren't back, he's not kicking or just running for his life.
People in every country for every type of reason ,cultural or otherwise, always have to be torturing animals somehow. Why the hell don't they torture themselves if they're so hell bent on torture? Why isn't there another person getting meat hooked out there? Ridiculous. Amazing horse though.
im quite a culturally accepting person but yes, giving an animal such a death cannot be justified by "it's our culture" or "it's just what we do". raping and pillaging use to be the norm but we've let that go because it's not right
Just for the all the people getting moral about bullfighting, the video is about the horse.. not the matador. If you don't like it then just don't watch it
For everyone who posted comments saying that this is disgusting or cruel or whatever, GET THE F*CK OVER YOURSELF!!!!! This is a form of entertainment and a part of history for Spain. Don't wish death to the man or the horse for what they are doing, just because you don't understand it or don't agree with it. You may want to learn about what they are doing or why they are doing it before you go off on them. Get cultured you a**holes.
The horse is beautiful and very talented but what a discusting use for it. As you watch you really want to see the man tossed off and gored to death................................

I disagree. This horse doesn't put cutting or reined cow horse to shame! His work is not comparable to a cow horse. Don't get me wrong he is extremely good at what he does but you can't compare it to cutting because he is not working the bull like a cutting works a cow. He avoids the cow and preforms maneuvers while doing it such as that turn-around he does out of a canter which is very impressive. But many cutters and cow horses are equally impressive at what they do! Two different jobs!
@EmmettsCountry Depends on the cattle. Sure you could take him and sort or 'cut' alot of cows on him, I'm telling you right now he wouldn't be able to hold tough cattle that were really pushing. #1 he doesn't work on his rear enough, he is too front endy. Thats a spanish type horse and they are just built that way. there is a reason cow horse are bred the way they are. #2 he has to be handled too much and he's not cowy. He has been taught to avoid the cattle so the guy can
@EmmettsCountry spear them. Thats no being "cowy" cowy means he works the cattle not avoids them. Also he is handled all the time, there is a reason cutters turn their horses loose on a cow and its not just to show off. If you always handle a horse in front of a cow he will never really 'cow up'. A good cutter or cow horse uses his head to work the cattle. Turnin them loose helps you stay out of his way, thats a big part of herd work! Just the fact that he would have to be
@EmmettsCountry handled on a cow would insure that he would get be by a tough cow. A good cow horse needs to 'work' and if he is always handled that split second it would take for the rider to watch and then react to the cows movement and signal the horse would be too long. When you start a colt on cattle you do handle him and to teach him where he needs to be and to keep driven up in and his shoulders out of the way. then you wean the reining off and let him work, then he can
@EmmettsCountry hold tough cattle because he knows what his job is! I'm not just talking out my ass here! I've worked for several Reined cow horse trainers and the one I currently work for used to be a cutter. Not trying to offend any body, thats just my two cents. I'm not taking anything away from this horse either, he is very good at HIS JOB, which is different from other jobs.
I'm not a big fan of Bullfighting but i can respect the fact that its part of the culture in other countries. but i will say that is one hell of a horse he is pylling off some of the most athletic moves ive ever seen FABULOUSLY TRAINED AND HANDLED!!!!!!! Well done!!!!!!!!!
THAT HORSE IS ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE!!!! What a Teacher to get that horse to the top of his game!!! But how inhumane for that poor poor bull. Incase you people didn't realize, THOSE ARE HUGE ENORMOUS HOOKS THAT HE IS STICKING INTO THE BULL'S BACK!!! Why do you think that bull fighting was outlawed in the UNITED STATES!
@BryCowboy7 Those barbs are about 1 1/2"s long and not much larger then a large fishhook in dia. They are driven basically into cartilage. the blood looks worse then it is and these bulls are bred to be vicious for this. You dont have to have barbs to make them made. They outlawed the barbs in CA not the sport. they use velcro belts and velcro on the picaderos now is all. AS THEY SHOULD. in this form of bullfighting the bulls are usually kept for breeding afterwards ..It's not outlawed in the US
@Race62hud I used to work in an abattoir and we killed hundreds of bulls, I am pretty sure that the hump on their neck is muscle not cartilage. This muscle is more developed in bulls to give them strength to use their heads and horns when fighting other bulls. Bison use a even bigger version of this muscle to dig through deep snow to get to grass. There is lots of blood because the banderillas are going into flesh. I love watching this video though. What a horse! The bulls are awesome too!
