Heii, good ride !!

whats the name of this song ??

[creatingAscene]

This is 'Life is a Highway' by Rascal Flatts

@creatingAscene these horses the people who ride them they own them right???

[creatingAscene]

@janevolturi100 Generally. At the time this was filmed, the rider in this video owned the horse she is riding. But its not unheard of for people to ride horses that are owned by their instructors, stuff like that.

[janevolturi100]

@creatingAscene well someone owns them right they just dont train them then send them to slaughter house or anywhere do they ??

[creatingAscene]

@janevolturi100 All of these horses are owned, sometimes they're shown here to sell to other private buyers. Youth Nationals is very competative; if a horse does well here, it increases his market value considerably.

As for slaughter houses: They have been, unfortunately, all but annihilated in America.

Very creative, love the idea, but I'm wincing at that open mouth on the stops - "soft hands! soft hands!" as my instructor would shout.

Wow, um arabian reining is sure different from QH and Paint reining... O.o

[Horseluver803]

I LOVE HOW ARABIANS STOP!!!! i have one and she does the same "instastop"

[teramisu89]

I think his mouth is open more out of habit than anything, her hands look ok. But as someone else says, wow is this different from quarter/stock horse reining. This run looks extremely imprecise overall, the horse is just all over the place most of the time. I used to have Arabians growing up, and I read about all the controversies surrounding them now - it really does seem like the breed has declined considerably. This horse is quite good basically, but for nationals - this is the best?

@10savvy

Are u kidding? u dont know that a horse is able to go backwards? huh?

[FeatherRoze]

AMAZING :)

[belongtobill]

No offense to her, but it's sloppy, too much of the same thing over and over and her hands arent very soft for the sliding stops.

[sharysaogail]

I love the versatility of Arabs! Yur gelding looks like he's having a blast!

[greatbigbubby]

@ArwenLune haha! i shout no bit!no bit!

[shanabethbee]

@jackFirewalker well then tell her shes pretty dang awesome and she has a real pretty horse!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D:D

[duvalditty73]

@ArwenLune That is odd. I think she might be using a high-port bit

[CHEVYedsf]

@janevolturi100 What would be the point in training them just to send them to slaughter...?
