Bred to walk like that - what a ridiculous comment to make. IDIOT!!

[2011spacebabe]

Damm....that's horrid!! Surely not normal for a horse to walk like that. Sick or what?. Actually very creepy that fat guy wouldn't look outaplace in a horror vid. Should be BANNED!!!!

Also horses were put here to work not just entertain,but technology has taken their jobs.These horses are cared for better than alot of humans.If I were a horse I would much rather do this kind of work than what their ancestors did by being the only transportation and having to work fields all day in the heat.If they could not show there would be no use for their existance at least it gives them a job.At least the US doesn't use them for human consumption,I meen realy get over the tree hugging..

Also horses were put on this earth as a gift to us.Horses are not just for our entertainment they were put here to work.I'm sure the horse in this video would much rather be doing this than being used for transportation or working fields all day long like they did for us in the begining.They are taken care of and loved more than most humans.If they can't even show there would be no use for their existance anymore.At least the US doesn't use them for human consumtion!Get over the treehugger bit

Not to be combative but unless you don't understnd the ability of a horse only then you would think this is cruelty.A horse is made to use it's backend may it be a Reinging horse that is famous for it's Backend that slides or a Cutting horse that squats it's backend to cut a cow from side to side or the Barrel horse that squats as is slides around the barrel and propels itself to the next or the jumper that pushes off the ground to clear and obstacle.Horses are made to use their backend...

all so a fat man can be more comfortable whilst he is lazy....................disgus­ting!

Imagine the stress and weight their back legs have to take. This is cruelty making a horse perform in such an unnatural way. They look extremely uncomfortably. Are these their actual hooves then or something stuck to the bottoms? Because I would've thought their hooves would grow forwards and their heels drop (if you understand me?!)

Oh, and as for the comment about the horse being bred to walk like that, was it bred to have feet disfigured like that as well???????????????
