I worked at a Top Notch Arab farm. These horses are born and bred to trot. But they are also trained. They put hobbles on them with stretch tubing between the front feet. They wear chains on their ankles and are worked on the ground in a round pen with longlines and a whip.

@Calicat1994 Have to say in reguards to my own lack of sight...I just noticed that these were Half arabs....oops my bad.
-
Park arabs are not my fav. don't get me wrong, I have nothing against the breed or the riding style, (especially as I ride saddleseat myself) I just prefer arabs to be a little less....poised. I love seeing them with their heads and tails up and the lower more sweeping movement, really showing their spirit. Gorgeous horses tho.

@YouSpamTard yeah these horses thats alllll they wanna do is to trot and perform. thats what they live for.

I once owned a nat'l top ten half arab park horse, back in the 70's and early 80's. He was 1/8 quarter horse, and man that gelding could trot! What they used to call a 'bean shooter', because his beautiful trot was a natural floating gait. He'd probably never make the cut now.

@7flyinghecks Maybe the horse would rather live on the side of a mountain with other horses and be free, unchained and unburdened,(other than a pending predator that may arise), but of course you would not understand such a concept. You are the horses predator. His beast of burden, so to speak. It is what it is. Understand?

Have you ever even ridden a horse or even been around one for that matter? Anyway, studies have been done on horses on strong they are. A fat out of shape horse still has more endurance and stamina than a human athlete that is trained for the Olympics. I pamper my horse. I constantly check him for soreness, but he is always fine if worked correctly with warm up and cool down time. That is all that I will say to you because I know I am wasting my time. Now go troll some where else.

@7flyinghecks I aint buying it. They got thin legs and big bodies. A simple awareness of physics tell us they are already taxed out and more stress is more stress to an already taxed system. Yes they may learn carriage or what ever, but its simply animal abuse for the horse freaks to satisfy their egos,
-
With correct training horses learn something called self carriage. AKA they learn to lift through their back when carrying a rider. It is same as you using your arms and legs to lift a heavy weight. Also keep in mind that to a horse a human is like you carrying a cat around and believe if they do have back problems most of them do let you know about it. (flinching when you touch their back, bucking, trouble with collection) Their legs look dainty but they're strong like steel rods.
Do they really love to trot? I know nothing about horses. I have just always thought. if I were a horse, I would not like a person sitting on my back. I don't know about this event, but I know many horse events are cruel to the animal. Cruel to the humans ridding the horses as well. I don't know. Just wondering is all. Thanks

Oh Yes a true show horse like the ones you saw in this class love what they do. I know this class had music backing it but if it didn't all u would hear is the crowd cheering, the horses respond to those cheers, they know they look good and show off even more!! This class was a national level competition. The best of the best in this class

oh are you serious, yes it is true that saddlebreds have more impulsion on account of a stronger build, but this is for the appreciation and diversification of the arabian breed. if you have no appreciation for the oldest breed in existance, than don't watch it.

I've been around Arabians since 1978, basically all my life. The Saddlebred people who knock the Arabs, don't understand or appreciate their own breed. For without the Arabian the Saddlebred would not have been created. Thank you ridingsaddleseat for taking the time to comment and defend the Arabian.
