  • This horse is such a good boy! I'm glad you guys give him breaks :) This video made me very happy.

  • it bugs me how there are girls swimming so close to his back legs. even tho he is in water and it would be hard for him to buck, they shouldnt go so close to his rear end

  • Its probably best to go swimming where there isnt HUGE rocks at the bottom!!! Poor hooves!!

  • POOR HORSE

  • To all you who are hating on this, swimming is actually good for horses as it works their muscles. PLus, it`s very rare for a horse to drown as they are very good swimmers due to their strong legs.

  • @quincylove101

    they're not forcing the horse to go swimming. the man is just holding its reins to keep them from getting tangled in the horses feet while its kicking. its happened, and the outcome is VERY bad (as in the horse could drown)

  • Poor horse.

    i would kick you if i could & umm forcing the horse go swimming, really?

  • This looks like cruelty to the poor horse their not ment to be treated like this

  • in my opinion horses are not meant to be pets they were put on earth to run wild and free not be a child's play pet not to mention someone could get seriously hurt horses can sometimes be unpredictable and do things you wouldn't expect especially on water i would watch out and treat the horse with a little more respect

  • @butterscotch242 Wouldnt eventing do more damage than this then? Lol. Clearly not much of a horse person..

  • i love swiming on my horse, shes sooo fast xD and @zaazap1 I agree fully.

  • WHAT A GOOD HORSEY!

  • Also, not cool leaning on the horse like that! You can see the horse being jotted down into the water and the subsequent "I'm not enjoying myself" look in his eyes every time one of the girls did that.

  • Cute video until I saw the jointed shank bit and the girl being dragged after his tail >:( I would never subject my horse to something like that.

  • I don't mean to sound like I mis-understand this video but it is very dangerous to stand/walk/swim behind the horse. For one, the horse could spook and kick backwards and hurt one of those girls. I know that you might say it is a very trusted horse, but accidents happen all the time, even when your'e not expecting it, or maybe a horse wouldn't 'Mean' to do it, but it could still happen... Just trying to warn you for next time =]

  • It"s not a game ! It's very dangerous for horse !! bad video

  • Hahaha they look so silly when they swim!! They aren't very good at it.

  • 0:45 "Swim through my warm spot, bitches."

  • That poor horse! maybe it's scared to be pulled under water by children.

  • cool

    

  • THe adult in this video needs to be sure those kids arent behind that horse. Anything could spook it and make him buck and cause him to hit one of those kids. That's bad parenting and or supervision.

  • cool

    

  • do horses like swimming?

  • @directionerforever01 some horses love swiming yet some cant stand to walk trough a puddle it alll depends on the horse like some people dont like swimming yet for some its their life :p

  • @cupcake5309 oh ok thanks thats cool:)

  • What if the horse rears backwards?

  • It's so BLUE the water!!

  • ok, i loved the vid seriously i did, ive tried this with my own horse, riding in water in mean. but it doesnt seem that fair on the horse with a man dragging it into deeper and deeper water, and little girls pulling it in every direction, jumping on and off its back.

  • i was there it was so fun!

  • i luv goin swimming with my horse its so fun

  • there smart but what the girls are doing they could get hurt. u shouldnt stand behind it// lol

  • This is really cute video, but when it said underwater, I thought that the horse was gonna dive nose first! Hahaha! Still so cute!

  • i love the way horses kick their feet when they swim its cute

  • I bet the people in the boat were like WTF theres a horse in the water

  • Better then swimming with the dolphins. :)

  • If any of you guys have ever tried to pick up somebody in the water they are a lot lighter than when you try and pick them up out of what.... and personally it is none of any of yours business and that horse looks like its having fun so..... YOU ALL NEED TO CHILL....... Thank you :-)

  • poor Horse ;s

  • I bet my horse could like swimming but the first step is to get her to walk through puddles lol

  • @lavenderfilly1 This made me laugh way to much! haha That's exactly what I'm thinking about with my horse!

  • What a good tempered horse!!! Very lucky people own this beauty!

  • Beautiful Horse! I Have A Quarter Horse Called Odie he has a Palomino coloured body and a black mane and tail with brown and blonde streaks and a white patch on his side By the way u really shouldn't let the kids jump off there back because it can hurt the horse!

  • they have skinny legs and hooves, how do they swim ?

  • @phillyhippie not really,horses legs (if trained properly and let out into pasture) are all muscle. my paint has serious muscle in her legs and if you look at their legs they arre all muscle.

  • Simply beautiful. And fun. :)

  • we swim ours in a pond, and our big black's head went under the water. Scared the hell outta me, but He pushed off the bottom and got out. :o)

  • dont sit on them when out very deep as i have seen what happens this and the horse started to drown u need to pull like hell to get the horse back to the surface

  • The best part is when ur behind it and it takes a dump

  • good workout for horses with bad joints or injuries\

  • Can you still sit on a horse when it is swimming in deep water( so the horse can't touch the bottom)?

  • I'd love to know what the music on this clip - anyone know?

  • @l3lackl3 omg , noo , i know alot more bout horses than you , so you shouldent judge em k. and horses can swim k . he loves the water . all horses do. duhhh obviously

    

  • Guy's if you look closely you can tell the horse has it's shoes on, (for all of you sassy nitwits, I mean horse shoes, steel horse shoes -.-) So the rocks wouldn't damage it's hooves that way. That's like saying "That horse shouldn't walk on gravel, it's cruel". Second of all, Horses have good body strength(even more than a human.) and are capable of swimming with a rider on it's back. Calm the fuck down and enjoy the video.

  • @PokeAndPie righton , i actually ride horses so i know that ur right . and i agree with you people need to LOOK IT UP ! their wearing horse shoes always duuhhh lol but ur totally right . people r so stupid that say those thing haha

  • i think it's too many rocks there!

  • @JimmyJosie2 nope, ur wrong .horses wear shoes, they dont feel the rocks at all . the shoes protect them from gravel and stuff hurting them of getting into their hooves

  • That water looks a little bit too deep to be riding a horse in

  • @magicallison23 wrong . they have much better strength . duh, and they love to swim and they had rocks and not too deep . trust me i own a horse i know . its never to deep for a horse only the current and plus their fine ok chill out

  • Is that horse named Sam, by any chance?

  • not exactly the best idea for a horse to swim in deep water

  • I always get scared to see a horse swim. i dont know why though..

  • that poor horse has five people hanging on to it while its trying to stay above water.. cruel

  • I hadn't actually lolz

  • that's pretty cool! I have always wanted to go swiming with my horse! but I would be alittle conserned that she would hurt her hooves on all of thoses rocks :l

  • what a lovely horse

  • Swimming is a great muscle building exercise for them, also I think it's fairly good for a lame horse as it takes the weight off their feet. I don't like how the horse is seemingly being piled on and crowded by a few people at a time whilst swimming, but the horse seems to be enjoying it :) She follows back into the water without any hassle, if a horse doesn't want to do something or dislikes something, they won't do it that easily, horsey people should know that!

  • poor horse...smh...

  • thumbs up if you think the horse would kick the girl behind it

    this is so fake!!!!!

  • @museden446 how is it fake??

  • @museden446 hy horse would not kick me i know i tryed it

  • @museden446 u R a dumb ass

  • and was actually swimming underwater!!!! he loves it!!! he goes under and blows bubbles and thries to eat them while hes blowing them!! lol funniest thing ive ever seen!! u woundlt believe it till uve seen it!! and he just keeps playing in to non stop, the big guy loves it its awsome lol.

  • my percheron/spotted draft horse samson loooooves water!! my girlfriend and i own many horses!!! and we take them alll out to the lake for a swim during the summer!! they all love it!! all 34 of them!!! we have ONE horse that cant swim lol, i think hes just more nervous of the feeling, but we dont push him to swim, but he does like to be IN the water, just not to the point where hes swimming. but samson!! he loooooves it!! i sware hes a scuba horse!! first time i took him he kept going under

  • I love how sooo many people are hating on this video!!!

    HELLO, if something hurt the horse or pissed him/her off it would have let them know in some sort of way ( atleast i know if that was my horse she would have ) but the horses ears are up and it's not being forced to do anything...it looks like the horse is just enjoying a nice cool down on a hot summer day with just a lil exercise!!! and im sure the girls in this video dont weigh 200 lbs!

    besides, horses can get hurt anywhere just saying

  • Thats adorable. Too bad my horse hates water

  • the only thing is that they two girls are being pulled by the horses tail... its enough work swimming for a horse, they don't need the weight being pulled back on their spine.

  • I think the only cruelty in this video is making the hose step on the rocks like that it could get hurt very easily is it steps on a sharp one or trips on one.

  • the horse is like yerr cool, whatever i wish my horse was like that haha xx

  • DONT judge seriously! have u ever carried anyone in water its pretty dang easy and the horse seemed happy so shutup!

  • how IS it cruel? the horses look happy

  • Anyone who thinks is cruel clearly has never seen a horse have hydrotherapy... Swimming and hydrotherapy is actually very good for horses, strengthens and tones muscles and 90% of horses just love it. In the wild they would have to swi across rivers and such to travel to other areas so what 's the difference?

  • How is this cruelty. The people who own the horse obviously give it a good home and food and shelter, in the wild, some horses would not be able to survive. So that horse that your seeing right now might have been dead if not for the owners. Which one is cruel?

  • yes,i have seen horses swim underwater,just go look up spirit(:

  • @MsSugardaddies haha love it

  • swim? i call it walk 

  • if the horse hated it his ears would be back alongsides his head but he has the pricked upwards so he was happy and enjoying it

  • I dont get how someone with such thin arms and legs can swim so well

  • this horse could swim back to shore at any time, dragging everyone with him, lol. also, note how he gives to the gentle pressure of a man, in the water, leading him around. there's another sign. he's swimming smoothly, and swimming IS great for horses and human. also, they bring him in to areas where he can touch down and get his breath back about every 30 seconds. most haters here have too much fear 2 get their horse in the drink and experiment, also their horsemanship sucks too much to succeed

  • getting kicked by them hooves would hurt so bad!! But that does look like a lot of fun! :)

  • cool shots, but careful of those kicking hooves!!

  • What the? How is this cruel to the horse? Horses are fantastically athletic and in the water you are virtually weightless so I don't see how tiny little girls riding the horse are affecting it at all. The only I worry about in the underwater sections is those rocks the horse cannot see them but looks like fun in all other aspects!

  • SEA HORSE!!!

  • The horse is totally fine, my dad is a lot bigger than be and I could stand with perfect balance holding him on one side in the water and stay up while holding him. This horse is totally fine. Chill.

  • you people should learn some more. 1st its theirs. 2nd a horse will struggle if it doesn't like it. some people are saying the horse is weak , poor! discrimination on the horse. people criticize even to animals X_X , if i were the horse ill GIVE U A GOOD KICK! lets see who's WEAK and cant carry kids now?

  • Swimming is good for horse's muscles, and I'm sure carrying the weight of a damn kid isn't going to change that.

  • horses are good swimmers and alot of them love it

  • @MDPurpleStripedHorse I know they're great swimmers.I didn't get to finish below, but please people with horses, do some research into horse shoes. That's the quickest way to lame a horse. They can't feel their feet after you hammer iron that doesn't flex. The hoof is the biggest blood pumping mechanism in/on a horses body. I have cured many horses who were lamed by taking the shoes off of them and putting them in a natural trim.Happy to share info with anyone who writes.

  • @MDPurpleStripedHorse there was a horse at my barn that the owner always found in the other feild confused he sat there one day and watch makking sure all the fences were fine etc. he got in the pong the to feild share and swam put his head under water then would pop it out on the other side and get out of the pond.

  • poor horseyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

  • @kaaiiandelin69 ? its swimming looks fun to me,whats wrong with it???

  • whats with the atatched bitch?????? -___- can´t she swim by herself????

  • @Rufflesguy can't you walk and run by yourself?? so why ride? underwater or not, its riding!!!

  • @Rufflesguy it's kinda obvious the horse doesnt give a shit... It's big enough and strong enough to get rid of the 'riders' if it isn't happy :s

  • @Rufflesguy lmfaooo

  • Comment removed

  • @Rufflesguy love how you just called an innocent young girl a bitch for riding a horse in water. Horses are strong swimmers, and im pretty sure they don't give a shit if someone is on their back during swimming or not

  • @Rufflesguy you obviously know nothing about horses...lol

  • Il faut pas en abuser non plus ! Oui c'est bien mais il faut respecter le cheval !!!

  • Comment removed

  • poor horse.

  • fun but it's not what a horse is made for ;d

  • That is such an amazing idea to combine riding horses and swimming by riding one as it swims and having everyone enjoy the water a wonderful thought.

  • I love going swimmimg with my clyde during the summer! after workouts she loovveesss going in the river right on the property! it's soooo much fun :]

  • hahaha, i dont see anything wrong with this at all? hahaha! lol, surely when your horse is doing cross country and jumps into water and has to canter through the water and jump out with you, a fully equipped rider, is more diffcult for the horse than allowing them to swim with a couple of little children in swimming cozzies on their backs for a couple of seconds. loool. seeing as though the water uplifts the weight anyways. LOL idiots.

  • HAHA my horse LOVES swimming. If im by the pond and give him his head, he ll run and JUMP into the water and swim and stick his head under and snort in the water and roll around. Im 21 years old and i weigh more than 50 lbs and my horse has absolutely no troubles carrying me thru the water with me on his back. Wed swim for HOURS

  • God.. they are living the life

    

  • wait! let me guess, water proof camera

  • @Thomasjohnanderson22 No the camera was not waterproof

  • omg.

  • I am one of the jealous ones! I can barely get my horse to cross a puddle! That horse was very happy and clearly enjoying the fun. His ears are forward and he is very graceful.

  • this is what i call A SEAHORSE!

  • ppl shouldnt be treating animals like they r nothing... they have feelings too and should be left free or taken care of

  • poor horse

  • @victor01301979 What is WRONG about having 50 pound kids jump from a 1000 pound ANIMAL? who has over a ton in pure MUSCLES? jesus the horse was having the time of his life swimming with his masters!

  • Nice video. Thanks for sharing. For all those worried about the poor horse. Not once did that horse show signs of distress. But I'm sure u savey horse people were able to read the signs.

  • 50 people are jealous! I've swam with horses both geldings had loads of fun- a pinto pony and Percheron- and this video was cool!

  • cool tho

  • I feel sorry for the horse :(

  • Fuck you all, this isnt even CLOSE to animal cruelty/abuse. If the horse didnt like it, im sure it would be bucking and rearing before it got in the water, it actually seems quite soothing and fun! The horse has places to stand, and take a break, and its in water where it will keep the horse cooled off. Not like anything going to happen, I mean really? I bet half of the people who say this is animal cruelty just never done it, which concludes, you think its animal cruelty, which its not.

  • Amazing bombproof horse! Nice video

  • The horse is happy, peoplee!! DUMBSSASS!!

  • pore horse

  • I should stop getting lost on youtube...

  • fyi i have a horse it can swim and some of them love it.....!!!

  • It isn't animal abuse! Horses are born with the instinct of how to swim. It is not animal cruelty, it's just a bit of fun! I bet you say that to every animal video!

  • The horse should of taken a dump XD

  • This video shows a totally relaxed horse. It is so gentle to the kids...if this would be animal cruelty, the horse would show fear in its eyes. In my opinion this is a cute video. The children treat the horse right and do not sit on its back when it swims! They love their horse, take care for it and have fun :)

  • god geeze is it safe to be standing behind tht horse e_o

  • @newsam16320 like wont he kick or somethin ?

  • @newsam16320 depends of the horse. This horse seems to be very kind and confident, so it won't kick. Besides, if it would kick, the kids and the man would know that.

  • That would be fun but i would feel bad for its hooves. the rocks would scratch it

  • this is awesome! how is it animal abuse anyways? you people are stupid sometimes...

  • Great horse and video. The only thing I thought about was the rocks. Hope the horse was okey.

  • i swear i'm going to do this one day with my horse

  • this looks like fun . and all you people saying its cruelty , how ? its like leading someone around bareback just in water . havent yall ever carried someone same weight or even weigh more than you do ? its pretty easy for me and im the same strength as any normal person on an excersise basis everyday . same thing for a horse . plus they are like 50x stronger than us i think theyll be find holding little girls for a couple seconds .

  • @horsesiloveyou1 yea exactly. it would only be animal cruelty if you had like 5 ppl who weighed 150 lbs

  • Horses naturally swim, just because they don't live in the water doesn't mean its cruel to ask them to swim. When you lead a horse to water not only cannot you not make it drink, you also can't make it swim. :D

  • u ppl are so mean to ur horse :( badly done

  • @ShowJumperJazz Hey you don't know what your talking bout this is in no way animal abuse horse are fine swimer the animal was fine if it wasn't it would have been freaking out and rearing. Horses are a hell of a lot more stronger than humans and if it wanted to it could have trampled that guy and the kids and killed them, even in the water but it didn't cause it didn't feel threatened.

  • horses can naturally swim, although it isn't natural. They definitley dont need that bit in his mouth for this especially with the little kids crawling all over him.

  • THATS FUCKING CRULE .. YOU WANKERS

  • I was here for the asses. :P

  • @ShaunTehCreepist Fucking pig..

  • Comment removed

  • this is a really awesome activity and is a really good idea but i wouldnt push on the horses back because he could drown or panick and then everyones done for.

  • underwater ferrari... lol

  • if the horse takes a shit, then everyones swimming on shit.

  • you can lead a horse to water but you can't make it swim... waitwut

  • What's this music?

  • Where is that in Gaspe?

  • okk I have wanted to try this but before I do... Is it easyer to ride on Land or in Water ? Plzz reply ! :D

  • Horses are made of 100% pure muscle and probably if they hit rocks they would break them in pieces. As regards swimming they adore it specially in hot climate, they go crazy to jump in water.

  • do their hooves ever get hurt on da rocks?

  • Horses were wild so I believe they can swim it may seem like the Horse is scared but it would of gotten spooked and ran way if it didn't trust them and it looks happy.

  • swimming is great for da ponies!

  • Is this in Kelowna?

  • Dumbasses, don't you know horses can swim? Stop commenting about animal cruelty if you know nothing about it. If you put a guinea pig or cat into water, that is animal cruelty. But HORSES CAN SWIM, THEREFORE IT IS NOT ANIMAL CRUELTY. It's a common method for horses to lose weight.

    Thumbs up so that dumb people can see this comment.

  • @skwli look, a guinea pig is animal cruelty, but 15/100 cats like to swim. especially turkish vans. GET YOUR FUCKING FACTS STRAIGHT BITCH!

  • @HolyCowSoup

    It's an example, who cares if it's wrong, this is a debate about horses. And my facts about the horse is correct

  • @skwli swimming is like the best thing u can do with your horse... keeps them healthy

  • awesome. Love your camera.

  • pedo bear liked this video 205 times

  • Lol the horse is like: "Youch! Don't grab my main o_O"
