You'd be surprised how much these horses actualy LOVE showing and having the attention on them. It's not cruel.

@mySYNZnotmytradgidy

Out of curiosity, how much do you actually know about how "they" train these horses? Because I'm not cruel to my horse. Only through shoeing and conditioning do I get him to step 'High". He goes two inches above level, and has never had "hot spray" (whatever that is). And the shoes have a maximum weight they can be, so as not to overly strain the tendons. Check the USEF rulebook. Deviation results in huge fines and penalties. Get your facts straight, please.

@kds3491 Please explain that when a colt is already walking like that the tail muscle gets cut, the horse has to walk with extra heavy shoes and a HUGE bit? Yes, a colt walks natural, but that's all gone the moment a human thinks it can even get 'better'.

@kds3491 hi so i guess your name is miss now it all :) in most classes thats how it is. oh is it the lowest stepping horse? your a re to the tard

@Saartje05 And as for it being natural, find a video of a Saddlebred foal on free roam in the pasture. You'll see that before ever having worn shoes, these babies are lifting their knees, driving with their hocks, and holding their heads high. If it's so unnatural, please explain how a young colt, who's never been professionally handled, is exhibiting these characteristics. It's genetic, that's why. It's what they're bred for and what they're born to do.

@Saartje05 No "double shoes" are used as there are strict USEF standards on shoeing that must be followed. The bits used on Saddlebreds are often less severe than those used on western horses. As for the cut tails, this practice dates to the Saddlebred's origin as a carriage horse. It keeps the horse from clamping down on a driving line and causing an accident, and the practice was continued to modern times. If anything, it helps the horse, allowing the back muscles to stretch and relax.

@Luneytoon121 "Highest stepping horse wins?" seriously? Please sweetie, read the USEF rulebook for expected standards when showing American Saddlebreds, it never states that the highest stepping horse wins the class. It also wouldn't hurt for you to do some background reading on the breed itsself. Clearly your knowledge is EXTREMELY limited.

[Saartje05]

Cut tails, huge bits, double horse shoes. Yeah, how natural this is. It´s not even beautiful, it´s so ugly it´s disgusting.
