IF HORSES COULD SPEAK

DVD - If Horses could speak - the movie, which shows the results of hyperflexion and false riding. Horses do not make a specific noise when they are in pain and yet with practice it is possible to read their state of health from their face and especially their eyes. One years work went into developing the unique 3-D animation which clearly demonstrates where false riding hurts and why. Gert Heuschmann, the author of Tug of Ware, explains clearly and comprehensibly.
The film makers, Hardy Martins ( Cascadeur - The Amber Chamber ), Bernhard Gassner and Pixomondo ( Jurassic park ) can normally be found in and around the world of cinema and documentary film.
Dr. med. vet. Gerhard Heuschmann - he is a vet, a rider and above all a true horse lover. He is the man, who currently pours all his energy into educating riders to develop an awareness of what is really needed to make their sport more horse friendly. He is not afraid to speak up for his cause and if need be to lend the horses his voice.
His book Tug of War Classical Versus Modern Dressage was published by Wu Wei Verlag, Schondorf.
First released at the end of 2006 exactly one year later the revised second edition is released including an open letter to the FEI, the FN and the German horse riding authorities. Over 25,000 copies have been sold to date making it one of the most successful horse books in recent years and it has so far been translated into 9 languages. It explains impressively and clearly what riders have to know so that their horses stay healthy. The DVD "IF HORSES COULD SPEAK" is the film to this famous book and it should persuade everybody, who is riding.

if horses could speak, they wouldn't talk to most of us anyway because we wouldn't understand.

[CounterCanter888]

I have the book version of this video and it should be required reading for anyone training horses....judges should be required to watch/read this and hyperflexion must be removed from competition riding! Oh I pity the horses..indeed if only they could talk!

HORSES CAN TALK BUT IN THERE WAY OF THERE SPEAKING

[mdorosz1]

LDR is a cop out. It IS the same thing no matter what. Try re-training a horse that has had LDR done to them. It's not easy.

Rollkur and low deep and round is not the same thing. Now I am definitely not saying some people don't lie and say they use the LDR technique when indeed they are using Rollkur, but LDR, when used CORRECTLY and during short amounts of time do not harm the horse. Sadly, too many people see professionals using LDR and start doing it at home, without even knowing the difference between LDR and Rollkur.

@hannaseffingreat78 im sure the horse didnt think so..

[StefSkjol]

why cannot people listen!

[horseriderponylover]

does that hurt the horse at like 2:00 when they pick him up like that?!

[LeahRox98]

that was lousy painting the horse...

@horse332 It wasn't a slaughter house :| They don't "Drain blood" like that. They hang them by a leg and cut their throat, that's how they "bleed them out".

[sterlingsilver02]

@horse332 It was under anesthesia. That is actually the least strenuous way to move a horse to an operating table. I'm expecting the real movie shows that they are having to fix something on the horses neck from hyperflexion.

@buddyfriend8 thats awful i completely disagree with that!! >:( this is why i will never send my horse away when he passes.
