for the people that are ACTING LIKE IDIOTS AGAIN!!!

this is a medical test. so my medical people that know what they are doing!!

if this test could save your horse his life, would you say it's cruel??

by the way, this is not diffierent then on the track, this is even better since it's so controled and the change on risk is small. they would make the horse something do dangerous.

so for those idiots, learn to fucking read first, do some research and then come back to make a decent comment!!

@PhilsophersStone There is no sign of a lip twitch, where'd you get that idea? I see ropes attached to the bridle and the cables for the endoscope so they can actually test properly. As for what everyone else has said she needed to be worked like this for the test to be sure she doesn't have a respiratory problem. This is so she won't collapse and die on the track. Or would you prefer that? Read descriptions before reacting please or you look stupid.

@277deb this is demonchinchilla on my other account, yes the whips is encouragement, horses only respond to the whip if they want to, some of mine go backwards when u touch them with it. And besides training 6 miles a day which is in fact a great cardiovascular workout plus muscle toneing, i also train horses 3 miles for endurance, these horses can travel more that 3 feet you wannabe horsemen

Beautiful movement, lovely to see!!!

@BunnyBabyee wow, cool.

[BunnyBabyee]

@Briks236 He won't because 3 reasons.. 1 : They are holding him in their hands, 2: He's a pacer. Naturally trained.. He won't stop. And 3 : They have a whip behind him. He'll me okay. Some of these tests aren't negatory. they can save horses lives.

@HannuGirl10 Oh yeah, didn't notice that stuff. :)

[HannuGirl10]

@Briks236 he wont, see the stuff around him ? -_-

[Briks236]

What if the horse goes flying backwards?

@Rocky0163

I think they are trying to simulate an extreme anyways so that they can see if what they believe he has, is there. If it was done once, to help his breathing/life, I think I'd be just fine with pushing the extreme once to give this horse as best of a chance as I could for a comfortable life.

@sango1161

That is what their breed is meant to do! It's wicked to see and they do race. I saw them racing once and a regular horse galloped along side him and really had to work to keep up. Cool stuff.

wow for a pacer he sure is fast almost like a race horse at a trot
