  • That is sick.

  • If a horse /didn't/ want to do it. It wouldn't.

  • Great!

  • stupid motherf *peeep*

    hate this and those peoples who are doing that to horses.

  • i hear metal not leather reins

  • The only thing about this I really don't like is the forced headset with the bit and the short reins.. Seems to be a very big thing with the Marwari people. Otherwise, funny as it looks, I can't really complain - the horses aren't terrified or resisting, they come right out of it and perk up and a few of them actually get praised. They're in good weight and look healthy. It looks funny to me, but I can't say abuse. Would just wish they'd loosen the reins a little.

  • LOL. Was I the only one that saw the submliminal commercial pop up in the middle?

  • These horses aren't abused. They have no ribs sticking out and look healthy, they've got a good size on them. Obviously I suppose not every country has the same ways of handling animals, but if anyone of these horses was abused I'm sure someone would have a bloody face by now. You can see, as soon as they finishe their tricks their ears prick up just waiting for the next command. They don't go flat against their head, and their's no resistance. Too many people like to yell abuse too quickly.

  • Shows how truly willing horses are(:

  • It wold be more fun to ride them!!! What would be the purpose of this??

  • Well, they do look happier than some dressage horses. But there are also dressage horses who look happier than these horses.

    Obviously, the happiest horses are the ones that get to stretch their necks and other muscles while playing with their companions in a nice big meadow.

    This may not be ideal, but I also wouldn´t go as far as calling it cruelty.

  • Clarinet!!!

  • Most of these horses look really well-cared for and treated well. They are praised for what they do with obvious pats and released from the dance as soon as they've performed it correctly. The only thing I really noticed was the horse before the gray one (at around 1:50) whose head was tied back for the arch in its neck. That and making it stand on the tips of its hooves makes me worried for the stress of the muscles. Overall, though, I see horses enjoying the dance

  • you know there some kind of a law in those country, the last drop of water will always be for the horse, over mother and children. I don't know many people who cherish more their horses that Arabians, their horses is the sun and the moon to them so i'm wouldn't worry much about the horse's health, which obviously quite good... and btw I don"t see many difference between this and European dressage, at least the horses heads are not glued to their necks...

  • you know they actually traet thier horses really well at the end ..around 4:30 ish I though they were gonna hit the horse when he fell off but he didnt..and the are all in Tip Top shape wow Beautiful <3

  • That first black horse is VERY talented! Such balance is amazing!!

  • and through streams and jump them into and out of water. so i dont think its cruel to make the horse dance like that im pretty sure the horse would rather dance than runn its hardest and get yelled at and whipped for not being fast enough or good enough to run, jump, or turn at a full speed

  • i think it is beautiful to seee the horse doing this. yes some of wat they do looks bad but think about jumping horses, rodeos, and racing and other stuff. the horse must jump as high as possible(which strians the legs exspecially the front ones) rodeos we expect the horses to run full speed and turn sharply around a barrel or to run full speed and stop suddenly, racing we run the horse and dont let them rest till they cant go no more. cross contry we run the horse up and down hills

  • Its a big strong animal, if it can run around and jump over 6 foot high fences and shit im sure it can do a little dance, atleast their not cutting its legs and head off alive, YET.

  • i have a headache now coz of this..

    not coz of the music.

    but because i glared at the screen so hard.

  • horses where not ment to do those kinds of moves it has to put way to much strain on their bodies

  • is that a marwari or kathiawari?

  • AYE SURE TTHE WAY THEY TRAIN THE HORSE DOTO THAT IS CRUEL  not one horse in this world would do that for fun

  • Its look very nice.. and very beautiful horse dance..

  • For all the people ranting about "open mouths" "whips" "pulling on their mouths": head off to your local pony club next weekend and tell me that the little kids there dont reef, haul, boot, whip and scream at their ponies.

  • Hey Equine, are you completely blind? Can you not see that the majority of the horses in this video have wide-open mouths and are fighting the pain of thorn bits? Maybe in your world those animals are 'having fun'. In my world they're being tortured.

  • this does not hurt them watch their ears they r clean pulled backed 2 listen but not in a mad position and dont winy bout their joins jumping weel destroy a horses joints ok

  • was eine grausamkeit!!!

    die pferde sind eindeutig gestresst, da man ein verhalten forder, das nicht im geringsten natürlich ist und nur unter totalem zwang entsteht

    schrecklich!

  • it looks like varry varry nice

  • these horses r so pretty and not all of them perked up

  • lovely horse just a shame for it to be in the wrong hands!!!! doing this can really damage a horses joint fell sorry for the horse putting up with it!!!!!

  • Mais c'est affreux de faire faire ça à des chevaux ! Je n'ose même pas imaginer comment ils leurs ont apprit cela, le cheval est complètement plier, complètement dénaturé !

  • it looks like he was not having fun

  • In a weird way it is interesting to watch.

  • Love it! :D And for those of you think that they're getting pushed down, and then suddenly "focred" to jump, they're not. Horses are MUCH stronger than humans are, no matter what. If they really didn't want to do this, they could have easily lashed out. Horses arn't some fragile creatures that need coddling. They can take of themselves, what with fending off predators in the wild and such. So yeah... they're fine. But I digress... Must've required a lot of training. Koodos to the handlers, too!

  • nice video, love the horse dancing and the tent pegging. shows the beautiful culture of punjabis and for you ppl who call this abuse go suck a toe because it is no where near abuse, iv seen how they are trained, isn't it abuse when the westereners have rodeo festivals? so stop hating and enjoy the video

  • Hard on the horses' joints. Dressage is the most stressful discipline for horses, more than jumping. Dark horse looks healthy but I think it's too much stress on his hocks. What the bay horse is doing is horrible, sorry. It degrades the horse, makes him look disfigured. Horrible. What is the point? It's weird, unnatural. It's not graceful or beautiful at all.

  • @universalradio

    Dressage is NOT the most stressful discipline for horses. Have you ever heard of Thoroughbred racing? Do you know how many hundreds of horses die on racetracks every year from racing related injuries? Dressage is not stressful, but it is demanding. Horses develop a great deal of strength, muscle, and balance by doing dressage. It is the foundation of ALL other disciplines. Let me know when you hear about a horse dying from a dressage accident, then we'll talk.

  • thx for posting thing video and massage for those 47 ppl who dislike this

    you all are real horse ass

  • the horse as scares n his/her back to their rump

  • This really is totally not friendly, people must be punished. These horses are almost pushed down. and then suddenly have to jump.

  • primer caballo que veo perreando y bailando regueton

  • What the hell!!! What king of fucking joke is this! This should be animal cruelty!!!!!

  • Real horse training , look at the horse's ears, if you know anything about horses they are not enjoying the dance but they are not fighting neither. Excellent training wish I could send a couple of my mutts over there to get some manners!!!

  • i really dont see why people are getting so worked up and calling this abuse, its not, the horse would not do it if it didnt want to, and the culture they are from all but worshops the horse, a horse is held higher in a mans heart than his wife over there.

  • hehe, horsey conga line xD when the bay is dancing and the other horses are following that's what I think of :P but truly beautiful!

  • O can admire athleticism. And these horsesare athletes!

  • Animal cruelty

  • well we can agree to disagree on that point, but that doesn't change that the treatment these horses are getting is no worse than many many horses who are "tapped" here in America for whatever discipline they are doing. One can look at dressage and think that its not natural for them to do any of that and many dressage horses swish their tails and are tapped regularly- thats how they teach the piaffe- but no one criticizes them.

  • what makes it so great to watch is that the stallions do it all for a pat or a rub on the head. They truly love their job and obviously their handlers care about them or they wouldn't rush over to lavish them with praise. beautiful, concentrated horses who love their job and amazing training on the handlers part. :)

  • poor horses

  • Most of these horses have their teeth bared and chomping at the bit, ears pinned back and their tails flapping in either anger or discomfort. Most look very unhappy doing this but the grey stud/gelding looks to be happy, but then again he isn't digging his feet into the ground like the bay at 1:30 and being whipped. Poor bay horse :(

  • @LifeIsDeceiving the guy wasnt whipping the horse. it was barely a flick of the wrist to give the horse a little more incentive. if you think about it, we would have to try VERY hard to hurt a horse considering they kick each other in the gut out in the pasture all the time and thats no big deal to them sooo.....i didnt see any cruelty here. and swishing tails and such is not always a sign of unhappiness. Judgement always jumps with his ears flat back and im sure he is not abused or unhappy.

  • @barnbrunette15 If a horse has to be lightly whipped for "more incentive" I'm pretty sure it's something the horse doesn't enjoy.

  • @LifeIsDeceiving Horses have thick hides. You can't possibly compare a human being whipped to a horse being whipped. Lightly whipped is not getting flayed.

  • Comment removed

  • @passingbynight You're going to tell me they have thick skin yet when a fly lands on them do they shiver their skin to get it off? Yes they do and that goes to show how sensitive their "thick" hide is.

  • @LifeIsDeceiving That is really not a good comparison. A fly landing on the hide is different from a fly stinging the horse. Also, the horse fly is an enormous insect. The horse knows it is bigger and stronger than a human and will step on you, bite you and kick you if you don't know what you are doing. Asking with pretty please for it to behave like you want it to simply does not exist. To break and train a horse you have to be stern (but no need to abuse it). A horse is not a kid.

  • oh das sieht voll sünde aus!!!

  • seit ir doof ich mache so was mit meinem Pferd auch nicht

  • CRUEL

  • CRUEL?!?! i see no cruelty, i see healthy happy horses! You wanna see cruelty then go to a sight that says animal cruelty. They are not beaten, and a horse will not do something that he doesn't like. The horse isn't pushed, pulled or dragged. They look like they are having fun and thats the way it should be. I think its awesome that the horse can do something like that, way cool tricks. Loved it!!

  • Das ist Tierquälerei ...bahh ihr schweine ...

  • I see no cruelty... what looks like reins under the legs is poor vid quality. They aren't being beaten into it, they're all healthy, they are rewarded with a pat on the head when they're done. Its quite amazing how the horses move.

  • The horses are clearly supported in levade by their handlers. If they weren’t their muscles wouldn’t be able to do this until they were further trained. To those who say this is cruel - please don't criticise tricks simply because they are unfamiliar to you. Spanish walk, jumping etc these are all tricks -they are just accepted in our world, we just present more "polished" acts, but training is training and tricks are tricks. Horses enjoy to know their job and do it well, which clearly these do.

  • @TheEquine You are so right. The clue is the second the "trick" or movement is finished, the horse relaxes and is surrounded by the kindness of pats. Lots of work went into the training of these horses. I really don't see any horses who are unhappy with their jobs. Notice the stallion factor? I don't think there's much gelding going like there is here in the US. Anyhow, cool video and I am glad that your response was here, as your insight may help those who don't know. Thanks!

  • @TheEquine

    The only critism i have is that the reings are 2 tight on the black horse in relax mode. Thats all.

  • @Laneismynickname - very true - there's some blatant Rollkur going on there.

  • @TheEquine

    Well atleast they aren;t Anky van Grunsven. She gets away with it. -_-' And even gets her ass kissed.

  • Comment removed

  • @TheEquine

    Also on the brown and the white further in the video.

  • @TheEquine Thats exactly right, Some would say dressage is a cruel sport due to many people using tight reins and over flexing, This is true that this is a trick and gives the horse a job. Just like a human they are happy when they are concentrating on ones job.

  • @kittykat8606 Yes exactly! Hyperflexion of the horse's neck is a shortcut that in my opinion is cruel. But it being used here does not mean that this discipline itself is cruel any more than dressage is. There are bad trainers and bad methods in all equine sports... but there are also good in all too... yes even strange-looking foreign ones!

  • Stupid bastards!

  • @TheEquine My horse also does a lot of tricks...but my methody of training are without any forcing or pain! The horse should have fun by doing tricks...these horses are frightened, in panic and everyone can see the pain caused by the sharp bits in their faces...These poor horses surely do not ENJOY the pain these idiots are inflict to them! So shut up if you haven´t a clue!

  • @TheEquine  And why do these idiots make the horses overstech their necks?! [ 2:25 ]

  • Good to see horses having fun for once and enjoying concentrating on doing their job well - in this case a levade with tempi-taps which requires focus (that's why the ears are back people - concentration) then stopping when they've pushed themselves enough and bouncing up with perky ears to get their treat. I hope to visit this show one day - Magnificent!!

  • @TheEquine These horses are having fun?? Are we watching the same video?

  • poor horses!!!!! WHAT IS THAT!!!!!! how are they think'n? I´m so angry now!

  • This is so cruel!!

    Poor horse

  • ..SO CRUEL - barbed bits with reins pulled under front legs so they roll head under .. what a shit life ..

  • that is torture!!

    poor horses!!!!!!

  • This looks really cruel

  • What a terrible people, poor horse!!

  • i agree with turtle08s i really dont think they are happy, more pissed off then anything. they cant be happy. the average weight of a horse that size is between 800-1000 lbs, all that weight on 2 feet and doing stuff like that... i wonder how sound they will be when they are older.

  • MrFRISKYWHISKY - If you could just see how the civilized military of Pakistan makes horses dance as well - horses and dogs are the most civil of all animals, and can be tamed to do whatever ! Is playing fetch not cruel and humiliating? These horses simply LOVE to dance - and mind you, there owners might sleep hungry, but they make sure that their horse is cared for and spend a hefty amount on their food and well being ! Search for Horse and Cattle show !

  • i really think this is cruelty, look at his back legs, he is probley in so much pain, horses legs cant stand that kind of pressure.

  • They enjoy Bull fighting and wristling WWF but consider horse dance a cruelty ...LOLZZZ.

    Horse is a dimond and we give him angles through dance !

    Brilliant job !

  • what the hell is wrong with these people! sericouly! CRUEL

  • thats too horrible!! poor horses...

  • The horses are writhing in pain, people. I am embarssed for you because you call yourselves "trainers." Tying animals up and forcing them to do unnatural things is HARAM!!! These beautiful horses are hate their owners and trainers. Just think, these "horse trainers" probably wouldn't be able to handle their horses if they weren't tied up. All of you that think this is so wonderful don't know about horse training and you have never been tied up. Besides, horses like women, not most men.

  • this is f***ing disgusting,, who ever torchures these poor horses who are ment to be free.. i hope u no u deserve to fry in hell..! nothing to be proud of.. F**K YOU!

  • nice horse

  • OMG, amazing, good thing to train =P

  • Those horses are awesome! Such strength and balance to do those things!

  • :'(

  • beautiful horses. some of theses horses are trained my force and cruel ways but others are beautifully trained.

  • omg!! the horses look like there having so much fun!!!! their ears are fwd and everything. hehe there so BEA-UTIFUL!!!!

  • @RoDeeOGaMiNgQuEEn no they're not watch their ears as they're down (pinned) and then when they get up.... do you see a difference???????

  • I really don't wanna know how these horses learned this...

    Horses aint made for this kind of tricks

  • @chantalvbeusichem

    Its called "EVOLUTION" you should not question animal intellect. This dancing trait exits in arabian horse and where ever arabs went this trait went them including some breeds of horses in spain, subcontinet, south america and mid east.i mean same goes to parrots, they are not taught to speak like humans but naturally they have ability to mimick sounds. There are tons of video even on youtube of birds of paradise in austraila, africa etc which will confirm my statement.

  • Punjab zindabadh. proud of being punjabi.

  • what a beautiful horses ALLAH inhe buri nazar se bachaye

  • beautiful. cant be better. :)

  • These horses are too amazing

  • magnificent
