i would say trained for two reasons. the first one, he's standing perfectly still and seems completely content until all of a sudden he starts 'dancing'. also my family has been breeding and raising arabian horses since before i was born. i'm seventeen and i have never seen an arab do quite that. they can get jiggy undersaddle or hot depending on bloodlines and other factors. so i would say trained, but i'm no expert and i could be wrong.

This horse is not trained. This is a video displaying the Moroccan horse training methods used by hispanic people. The horse is cross tied to the pillars and then whipped until he "dances" in place. Notice how the horse tries to move forward to get away, but when he feels the restraint begins to dance or rather jig is a better word. Also notice how the horse quickly jumped when he saw the human that we can hear but can't see. The person likely has the whip in their hand and the horse knows...

@brokefordstud he'll do the same thing. And he's not terrified. Ever seen a dressage horse or a jumper or even a team penner horse?? obiviously u need to learn a bit more about horses. Any horse that is well trained and knows their job will have a concentrated look on their face. This horse is perfection, he's responsive and supple.

You guys demeaning this video are dumbasses. Yes SOME spanish people may use that method to teach the horse to dance. But i sure as hell never have and my arab does it beautifully (he prefers the song "I'm Sexy and I Know it") and @HumaneObserver Ya ever heard of the dressage move Piaffe? its no fucking different, Hell I bet every horse has performed the same damn thing when they wanted to go, I know everyone is entitled to their own damn opinion, but stop downing this video, Grow the Fuck Up.

@TheDragonQueen18 >>>>anything its focusing on,whether its afraid or not.His muscles are tense and he gets an introverted and uncomfortable look in his eyes when working.And its not hard to get a horse to respond to ''whoa'' quickly when its uncomfortable and wants to stop anyway.While this isn't a full scale freak out,as this horse has some understanding that if he jigs he won't get whipped,he is not a happy about what hes doing and could also be a bit sore on the left front.

@TheDragonQueen18 Look a little closer at his mouth,this is not the typicical chomping at the bit commonly seen in an excited horse(which can be from positive or worried energy depending on other body language thats present),what this horse is ''teeth clacking'' which is rarely seen in horses over a year old and its an overtly submissive gesture that they'll do to older horses in a herd,in older horses its a sign of lacking confidence.As for the ears,a horse will put its ears on>>>> continued

@RunninQHsRock I don't think he is afraid. I have an eight year old mare who chomps on her bit or flaps her lips if you go faster than a walk or she gets excited. Also in the begining and at the end when it is waiting for its commands its ears are up( in between it was behaving like a horse listening for its masters next cue ) and it displays no scared reactions. The fact that he can say whoa that softly and the horse responds that quickly also indicates a horse who is not scared.

I'd say trained, very well. Enough so that his trainer can stand away from him and give him signals on when to do what he is being asked do.

This horse is not abused. No way

@salehs313 This horse is "trained". Pay attention to what you hear. The trainer is somewhere in the background making specific noises that the horse knows and instantly reacts to. Also, the horse obviously knows "Whoa". Pretty good sign of being trained.
