Wow i have never seen a head nod like this... i would think he would get dizzy lol.

He's just fantastic!

I dont think I have seen such an exaggerated head nod

It comes with such a gait... instead of the horse moving you from side to side like another other breed's, it moves you from front to back, almost forcing your pelvis to move in such a exaggerated way, kinda like a donkey of a mule would.

love the head shake and gait on this horse.

Beautiful horse, but why is the rider pushing so much with her seat? The horse would look more smooth if the rider would sit still.

When you have a horse with huge stride that is working the walk with animation and a neutral topline, there is more front-to-back movement... watch the saddle. This is not the rider "pushing" but moving "with" the horse's natural movement. The front-to-back movement is what allows the headnod to drive the backend stride. Bigger stride + bigger headnod = more front-to-back flow.

That isnt a "flat walk"..It is a exagerated "dog walk". Nonetheless it is impressive.

A 'dog walk' is a lower energy, 4 beat walk with lowered head and stretching into the bit; a.k.a. trail walk. A flatwalk is a "walk with purpose"; a higher energy "marchy" walk that averages 3-5 mph as you see this horse doing. Many show circuits erroneously have horses' runwalking when the flatwalk is called, and then lose form and headshake (morphing to a racky, step-pace) at the runwalk as they try to give more speed. A runwalk is NOT a speed gait, but a "walking" gait at 9-10 mph.
