This is NOT okay, NOT sexy, NOT impressive and NOT HORSEMANSHIP! This is abuse and if you cannot see that you are hard and cold. Why would you treat your horse this way? It breaks my heart.

[wilberforce133]

This supposed idiot is one of the greatest riders ever to have graced a polo field, natural horsemanship and not retarded prancing in circles. He is using his body weight to control the pony and in no way is this abuse..... seriously, if this is your focus of animal cruelty you are seriously naive to how horrible the world is... yes, A pony in good condition is being ridden hard - as it has been trained to - now why dont you bit-less freaks just piss off and massage some pony testicle?

[Nqabeni84]

To all ye nay sayers about this film...where exactly is the abuse? It's funny how some of you keep talking about the "bit" in the horse's mouth when EVERY single horse I see on tv,film and those ridden by police have a "bit" in their mouth. And then of course there's the self-righteous Western hypocrisy about the abuse of a horse when 750,000 PEOPLE will be DEAD by Christmas in East Africa- even though averting the disaster is CHEAP as chips...hmmm...!

If hands are soft why must he use a tiedown, and a bit in the first place? I use a bit as well, but I dont need to use it to hold my seat!

[csp650r]

OUCH! MY MOUTH!!!!  :O

[TheCastbury]

@VideoVanabe - have you ever owned a horse? Ridden a horse? I would hate to think that I had ever treated a horse like this.

[TheCastbury]

Wonder how he would like a metal bit rammed in his mouth and then yanked around like that. Nobody will convince me that his hands are 'soft' - that horse's mouth and face is showing pain.

He should be ashamed of himself - I am disgusted

[VideoVanabe]

Slow down. Someone tell me why this is animal cruelty. I see much artistic value in this short film.

[nursecroft]

@HTHAMMACK1 Yeh the horse looks real happy he's hanging on to his mouth like that on that awful gag!! You sound like a real charmer so im sure no-one really cares what you think!!!!!

[nursecroft]

He's suddenly become the most ugliest guy to me, absolutely shocking, that poor animal :( bloody awful riding and certainly NOT good horsemanship!

To all the retarded f*cking idiots who claim this is animal cruely, please do the world a favor and off yourselves.

Nothing about this is animal cruelty. Not even close. Nacho Figueras is a great horseman and a true lover of horses.

Jesus the stupidity on youtube gets worse every day.

What an ABSOLUTE joke to put the word "horseman" at the end in the credits! That MORON is NO horseman & I'm disgusted at the whole thing - is it supposed to be an ad for animal cruelty????????????????

I also can't see how one post says his hands are soft even though the horse is tossing it's head - the horse is having it's mouth ripped because of the idiot "riding" him keeps losing his balance & is using his reins for balance!

[wilberforce133]

although the horse is tossing its head his hands are SOFT. Polo riding involves neck reigning and balance shifts and CANNOT be compared.

[jett888]

What is the point behind this video except to show the brutality by hard "Riding" such as this- who is benefitting from this- surely NOT the horse.

[sarahlouisefox]

That is seriously revolting.

[SherwoodLives]

THIS IS ABUSE

[RinstonRivaldo]

this is really terrible

[squareonefarm]

Horrific - a slow motion depiction of an animal in pain - torture for the horse, and torture for me to watch.

[Sarma1188]

Raw IGNORANCE not power.

[margasl]

Hermoso animal,lastima que el hombre sea una mala bestia.
