I feel sooo sorry for that poor horse. I wish he could get on top of his fat trainers back and ride him that way!

Hi... I just wanted to let you know that the trainer is great. They don't abuse the horses at all and most of the horses in Costa Rica dance like this. If you travel there you will see. It's a gentle training and I'm actually surprised at how easy the horse learns. Have a Merry Christmas!

it can't be good for the horse to just kind of stand in one spot stomping around and not getting anywhere ? He looks really stressed out.

Hi there... Just wanted to let you know that most of the horses in Costa Rica do this. The trainer does not abuse the horses at all. It's a gentle training and I'm surprised to see how easy the horse learns. Please enjoy a Happy Holiday season.

Standing in one spot is not the problem... dressage horses do it all the time, its called the piaffe. The problem is that this basic movement was produced by yanking on the horses mouth (if you look at his other videos, you will find). Incorrect.

I bet you many of the people commenting dont know very much about horses and seem to act like they do. :/

@Meuspera listen chick i will spell as i wish use no grammer if i wish and i wouldnt know if they taught it in high schools because i finished over 3 years ago! so yes im a little girl :L tht finished high school and went to college gosh wouldnt tht be great i would love being a little girl again shame u cant go back in time =/ and tbh darling i dont want to go read any book about farming practices because honestly id just fall asleep :) now im done arguing with pathetic people like u

[Meuspera]

@LilGhostRiders Wow. Unintelligent AND low class, aren't you a catch. Here's a tip sweetie - first, learn how to spell (they still teach that in high school, right?). Then, learn some grammar (especially the parts about punctuation - you seem to be having trouble with that). After that, read a book. Finally, follow that all up with some reading on humane farming practices, and what is and isn't possible to stop. P.S. Grow up, little girl.

@Meuspera look u ya fuking dafty! just because i eat meat doesnt mean i support wht the animals go thru! so get ur head out from ur fucking arse! right this is fukin cruel! but do u want to know the diffrence! this could stop so easy! the slaughter of animals for meat couldnt! and tbh with u im more a horse person! this animal is clearly not happy and the worst part is it will live thru this all the time its not gna end! its uneccessary

[Meuspera]

@LilGhostRiders I just find it humorous that you seem to find this distressing, when cows, pigs, chickens...etc are treated a hundred times worse in factory farming operations. Complaining about a horse dancing in place with it's mouth being slightly manipulated... while you're perfectly content to support industries that torture animals by the millions. Sounds to me like you need a dose of perspective.

[LilGhostRiders]

@Meuspera no im not ? :S what has this got to do with this? weirdo

[Meuspera]

@LilGhostRiders So, you're a vegan?

[cheesepuff87]

Geez what's with the all the hate comments? Don't comment negatively unless you know the trainer, know the horse, and know how the horse is treated. Yes, there are lots of videos of cruelty with horses, and in third world countries, but please don't generalize. If you haven't experienced this first hand you have no right to say this is good or bad. Beautiful horse, by the way! His blaze is so striking.

[LilGhostRiders]

poor pony :( at least a dressage piaffe is slow and the horses look relaxed whilst doing it! this horse is stressed rushing and is in serious danger of harming himself there was afew times i wished he would just rear the guy off his back! why would you want your horse to do this? its horrible!

[Esolver]

I see you only want the easy way, the real piaffe needs a long way in harmony with the rider.

This shit only needs a few days !
