Don't worry - horses like this are EXTREMELY valuable. I'm sure they're treated very well - probably even better than their human counterparts. ;)

Yes these horses are horribly abused. With their constant attention, planned nutrition, lights and music, cleaned stalls and fitted tack to a T. They are doted on by riders, trainers and managers like adored athletes (that they are.) If you want to talk abuse, let's talk about amish horses. Until then, let's can the dressage is cruel crap. k?

None of the horses are abused. I spent two weeks at the Royal Andalusian school of Equestrian Jerez doing the technical course. They are very well treated. People were kind and professional. Please do not make comments on things you do not understand Horsiebeauty

@larkolena These horses seem to like or at least be OK with what they are doing. None looks hopeless or fearful. But if they didn't like the work who cares about how well groomed and housed they are? horses preffer rain and dirty coats to being locked all day. They don't know what euros or dollars are. What matters is that these horses are trained properly and have an interesning "job". else all the money in the world wouldn't matter.

@flolamiss31 I would rather a horse that does the piaffe and courbette in freedom! That's why I like stallions so much, they love to show off and perform all these spectacular movements to show just how powerful and agile they are.

@fire44raven hahaha! used to hate it too till I tried working on long reins with a long fluffy tailed horse (Lusitano stallions usually have lots of tail and mane). The darned reins kept getting tangled on the tail! LOL! only then did I realize the purpose of the ridiculous braid

@wrekincollegeL6 most of these horses retire at age 30 in good health. Classical dressage is just a pretty name for a saddle horse oriented gymnastic program.

@lassiesuca what's not natural? I've seen the stallions at my yard perform every single one of those movements wile play/fighting each other or when showing off to mares. My own stallion is particularly keen on the piaffe when I tell him he can't chase the mares that cross us on trails and an older stallion is fond of the courbette and capriole when playing tag with me.

[DJBelbe]

@Marixxen2 don't agree with draw reins either but none of those horses is scared. Such movements get the horse pretty excited, it's hard enough to get them as quiet and disciplinated as you see! Remmember these are all stallions. I for have have a stallion who gets all pumped up just by doing the spanish walk! If I asked him a capriole he'd explode jumping around like a gazelle, LOL!

[DJBelbe]

@horseisbeauty yup, horses on at least 2 of these schools work soundly untill they are 30! If that's not a good health program i dunno what is.

I confess some of them look a tad annoyed at times and a couple appear too submissive for my taste, but none looks fearful of abused.

I've personally seen the Lusitanos being trained at the shade of trees back home and all you could hear were the birds and the hooves. Both horse and handler were as peaceful and quiet as you'll ever see.

I would love to work with one of these horses! They are so majestic yet powerful! ♥
