This 4K video gives you a 2nd row seat to watch a magnificent Arabian horse stallion named Bryzzo. This is his winning championship of the popular Liberty Run class at the 2022 Scottsdale Arabian Horse Show.
Bryzzo plays to the roar of the capacity crowd by galloping, strutting, throwing his head, and showing off at the packed 6340-seat "equidome," which is the main arena for the Scottsdale Arabian Horse show.
The Liberty Run class is arguably the most popular event each year at the Scottsdale Show, which is the largest Arabian horse show in the world! The show runs for 11 days in February each year. The 2022 Scottsdale Arabian Horse Show ran February 17-27.
Bryzzo is owned by Earleen Walter and shown by Shan Wilson.
I have not seen a competition yet when these Stallions have been treated well. Not just America but Arab and European countries also. The horses are nervous and agitated. I do not believe having two songs playing at the same time and a crowd screaming at them is a way to show a horses best attributes.
all for the money :(
yeah you can see the fear in the poor horses eyes
@@brinkenberg_64 not money...there is not much money in showing, just prestige
@@theterracebanquethall7124 There’s a lot of money from stud fees or selling progeny if they are winners. Prizes, no, but that’s not what it’s about.
That right! The screaming people only want show....no one is thinking about the horse....poor animal....
I had a beautiful Arabian out of the Kellogg stock (yes I'm very old). He lived to be 28. I loved the way he could extend his trot and look like he was floating through the air. We still miss his beautiful eye, his blood bay coat shimmering when he moved, his sweet nature, his love of speed and his generous heart. He gave his all to life! What a joy. My beautiful Washan.
That's so touching to hear. I'm glad you had him in your life for the time he was with you.❤️
P.S., I didn't show him. My kids learned first to care for him and then to ride him. He was so loved.
@@dianawells3966 what a wonderful experience for your kids!
I had a Kellogg mare. Her name was Sharah. This was in the’50’s.
Боже вы прекрасны , как и ваша лошадь ❤
LMAO😂.... ALL these negative comments...a truly horse knowledgeable person can tell...made by people who know NOTHING about horses .. especially Arabians. This was a beautiful class with stunning horses doing what they love best...running free. There was no expression of fear or dislike. AND when the music stopped that stallion stopped...stood QUIETLY...and patiently allowed his halter to be put back on. His ears were never back...he never snaked his neck in order to show agression against an enemy...never showed his teeth to to keep people away from him ... Shame people who think they know horses (but know nothing)...post comments that really don't do justice to the horses at all. 🐎❤️
Amen to everything you said! I have replied to so many comments with almost everything you said in your one comment. Even the one time when the horse almost runs over the trainer waving a flag, his ears are up and show that he was just playing and was not being aggressive, and he was obviously not afraid of the flag he would not almost run into it!
@@MagnificentHorses I honestly think you should delete the negative ones, they're adding nothing but misinformation.
@@amicableenmity9820 thanks and I appreciate that! I'll leave the negative comments on because KZhead doesn't care if a comment is positive or negative--both of them equally help boost the number of views. I think most people who know much about horses realize the truth about this class. Plus all the negative comments give me a chance to try to educate people, although most of them have their minds made up and won't change them. But that's not always the case, fortunately.
This is sad to me, I own a mare who was the Canadian and in the United States national halter horse in hand, and Arabian a lot like that horse. She came to me neurotic they paid over $30,000 for her I paid $0.25 for her because nobody could handle her. My vet and farrier told me I spent too much money on her and that no amount of quietness and training would ever help her because of how she was trained and how fearful she was. All I see when I see this is fear a bad handler and it's disgusting. My horse will play at Liberty with me is she rides bareback and bridalus and it took me years to get her there but I did. No I feel bad for this horse.
I’m so sorry to hear that your mare was so badly traumatized. It sounds like you’ve done a great job with her! It’s clear to me that the liberty run itself didn’t cause fear in this horse but rather gave him excitement. I do agree the handler was too rough at the end, though. Anyway, thanks for your comment and good luck with your mare! Let me know if you ever show in the Phoenix / Scottsdale area.
I have seen this as well. It ruins them really bad, but the purpose of this circus is not a creation of a usable horse, it is vanity. Barbie horses for vane people. The handler's job is to keep the adrenalin in horse high and the flags will have lasting effect.
It's sad if you can't tell when a horse is enjoying himself which this horse so clearly was
@@susandivirgilio4551 exactly!
@g h I have NEVER been to one of these shows. I could only wish. But I have experienced SO many horses having FUN that I can recognize it when I see it. I have had horses galloping around out in pasture where the only fence was around the pasture of acres and nobody was forcing them to do anything. They would be grazing and one would look up, start trotting then break into a full gallop. Then, maybe except for 1 or 2, the others would join in and they'd all be galloping around with their heads and tails up, in short, exactly like the stallion. NO he was having a BLAST! If that wasn't your experience, I'm sorry. And I'm sorry for your mare who had been so traumatized. Bless you for your kindness towards her. I wish that, someday, your mare does experience complete joy. Hope she has pasture and not just a round pen that so many horses are kept in these days
Well, that seems like an incredibly stressful situation for the horse with the screaming and the loud music. He kept running to the gait as if wanting to get out.
I think show horses are used to the crowds and the noise and that it excites them the same way it does for sports teams. But nobody knows for sure since we can’t get inside a horse’s brain. My best guess is that he really enjoyed it for a while but then was ready to go back to his stall before we people were ready for that. But I guess that’s better than running from a predator in the wild.
@@MagnificentHorses oh my, you really are used to walk miles to justify this. The horse clearly wants to get out. No getting used is happening here. If those handlers laid off their flags, the horse would plant himself at the gate and would trot around it nervously till someone opens it. But that would not be a good show, would it?
@@ezire look at the horses ears, he's clearly excited, if he was stressed his ears would be pinned back and someone would be hurt
@@sparklekittymeowmeow7702 ummm no dear, maybe in a paddock those cues would be acceptable and accurate, but not in a closed arena. Horses are flight animals remember. This horse was not happy. The flicking of his ears and keeping them forward are because he’s trying to discern where a threat is coming from. Arabs are naturally nervous as it is, to then bombard it with screaming on top of the music is too much, but then again, this is filmed in the USA where being ridiculous and over the top is the acceptable norm.
@@vandemanferretstasmania.ni9576 if the horse was scared the ears would be pinned the flicking is the horse listening to what's going on around him that doesn't mean he's upset
He doesn’t look that bothered. They absolutely love to run. My Arab could run forever and play tag with me. I had him for 27 years. Smartest horse I’ve ever had….and I have had many different breeds.
Thanks and I'm glad you have such fond memories of your Arabian horse that you owned for such a long time.❤️
Look at his eye. Read his body language. This isn't about running. I have had and rescued several Arabs. This is about fear. People with flags on sticks are chasing him, so he will "look good." Inhumane.
@@famouskate9071 you can't tell that just by looking at the horse's eye. If a horse is looking toward the rear you'll see the whites of his eye but it doesn't mean he's afraid. There are plenty of signs that show the opposite, though. Watch how he shakes his head at the crowd near the beginning to show dominance like stallions often do. And if he is so afraid of the white flags, why does he almost run into one? It's not because he was charging it in anger or fear because his ears are not flattened back which would do if that were the case. Plus at the end he follows the trainer on a loose lead line with the flag waving right in front of him. And he also stands calmly while the trainer walks up and halters him. All of those signs show that he is not afraid. He is a show horse, is used to it, and knows exactly what's going on.
@@MagnificentHorses Nope. Read other comments. But it is a waste of time to argue with a person who has their mind made up, is not interested in other views, and is convinced they are right and those who disagree are wrong. Look at it this way......not a single horse on this planet would choose that life. If allowed to choose, he'd be outside in a giant field where he could run, with other horses, and plentiful grass to eat and dirt to roll in and sun to lie down and stretch out in. Do you think this horse has that option?
@@famouskate9071 why do you think I'm not interested in differing opinions and I'm not open to changing my mind? Just because a lot of people who comment think the horse is afraid does not make it so. And many comments are from people who can see he is not afraid. I've asked many times what signs people see that make them think the horse is fearful. There's almost never a replay to that, and the only answer I've ever gotten is that he heads for the gate. But that's the nature of horses, which anyone who has turned out horses into an area that does not have grass nose. They almost always return to the gate within a fairly short time. What are two other people have said they can see it in the horses eyes, which is not something you can tell as a sign from a horse because if it's looking towards the back you'll see the whites of his eyes. So if you can tell me what signs you see that this horse is afraid, I would definitely consider them. So what are the signs that you see?
All I could think of is how this magnificent animal would run without walls. Liberty indeed.
What a magnificent animal, effed up by stupid careless tossers 🤬😠😭
Не будет уже 😢
Y con una bella joven en su lomo ,como fresa de una torta
One of my favorites! He loves the show! He’s stunning, love his personality!
Thank you and 💯to everything you said!
@@MagnificentHorses , you’re so welcome!! Ty for all y’all do showing these majestic beautiful creatures we’re blessed with!
@@mamashanshan2772 you're welcome and thanks for the nice compliment!
How beautiful these Arabian horses are!
They sure are!
Arabian horses are the most beautiful horses in the world!
They are amazing, aren't they!
Stunningly beautiful... The animal that changed me for the better for ever. Beloved Arabian and Pintabian. Enough. ❤❤❤
That's very cool! Did you see any of my videos about the Pintabians?
@@MagnificentHorses Not yet, but I will real soon, I'm sure they gonna take my breath away too! 😊❤
@@matthewalexander2436 yeah they're amazing! I'm sure you'll really enjoy those videos--especially the one where an owner tells about the breed as you're watching video of them.
С ума сойти какой красавец и как двигается! ))))
Спасибо! И да, он прекрасен и внешне, и как двигается!
👍👍👍🔥🔥🔥🔥🥰💕😘
How not to manage and treat a horse. What a beautiful animal.
Yes, we can definitely agree he is a beautiful animal!
Magnificent... I wish he could be free
@@celiajarvis3168 that sounds good until you think about the fact that he wouldn’t have someone to brush him every day, provide a farrier, give him a healthy diet with all the right amounts of food, continual clean drinking water, veterinary care, and protection from predators and other horses. So all in all I think he has a better life the way he is.
@@MagnificentHorses🤔🤔🤔 So you think!?!?!? Maybe you need put in a ring and traumatized in ways and then consider yourself lucky. Yes, Arabians are high spirited horses. Anybody with any "horse sense" would know this treatment was not the horse showing off of himself but out right nervousness. There wouldn't have to been the loud music, crowd noise and flags continual in his face like this.
@@MagnificentHorses He could at least be free from that continual stress, and people screaming at him to run faster, while people run around waving flags at him while music is blasting.
I'm totally in love with the Arabian breed.💕🐴
Yeah they are just amazing!
@@MagnificentHorses you mean when their not being abused
@@joyjoystar9033 correct. And there is no abuse here whatsoever.
@@MagnificentHorses no no , just traumatising the fek out the poor animal. No wonder ppl say things like they are 'flighty'!!!!!! No need to yank that headcollar like that wtf -poor horse is freaked the hell out
The most beautiful and majestic of them all 👑
At first I was like: His hooves are are way too long. Then I realised part of that are the thickest horse shoes I have ever seen. So this is deliberate and he isn't just overdue for a trim 😒.
The hooves are weighted to increase animated action of the gait.
Bound to cause painful lower leg and knee joint problems in his later years, but by then he’s outlived his usefulness for the gushing spectators of this “ fabulous show”
Very cruel!!
@@christinematton4125 yes, but the enthusiastic “ horse loving crowd”, 🤦♀️🤦♀️screaming with delight, either doesn’t know or doesn’t care…the competition judges certainly don’t care. 😤 I watched a video, not PETA I hasten to add, where some horse welfare people filmed possible cruelty going ons in dressage events….they were encountering pure hostility at their presence, with some of the industry people deliberately standing in front of the cameras to obscure whatever they might see. ….which clearly shows they got something to hide they don’t want exposed.
Horse rescue of Tennessee has called these abusers out and they threaten them and try to hide what their doing... something is very wrong with society when this cruelty is allowed!!!
That stud was on fire and he knew it. Song matches perfectly!
Thanks so much and I’m glad you liked the video! It was a really magical night.
Так красиво двигается от страха???Выглядит очень раскованно и свободно❣️
Спасибо! Он не проявляет никаких признаков страха. Я уверен, что это одна из причин, по которой он так грациозно двигается.
He is a magnificent animal! Simply gorgeous!
Thanks and I totally agree!
Pretty but doesn't move that great. Mostly runs all out, doesn't break into any special trot or have any special movement.
@@sidepass this particular class of competition is sort of like a playoff. There are preliminary rounds, and only the winners of those rounds make it to the finals where this was filmed. So you're saying that the champion that's the best of the best in the biggest Arabian horse show in the world does not move all that well. Got'cha!
Been to Scottsdale many times and have always enjoyed the liberty class. Have seen many horses that floated like a deer and had great extension . With the amount of shoe this horse had i would have thought he would have had more action too. Don't get me wrong he was a lovely animal and ran like a horse but have seen many better moving animals.@@MagnificentHorses
@@sidepass I do know what you mean about the floating thing that stallions can do, and that is about the only thing he did not do out there. But overall I thought he was one of the best I've seen over the years and he was definitely the best in that class. Hope you can make it back to the Scottsdale show sometime!
Absolut beautiful horse, but what a terrible performance. And maybe risky as well .
Yes, he’s beautiful. But you think it’s risky for a horse to run? I’ve probably seen over 100 horses in these Liberty runs over the years and have never once seen one of the horses get hurt.
@@MagnificentHorses Of course it is not dangerous to run, but there is a risk that he jumps reaching the end. Seen it myself a couple of times. Most of the times a lack of experience of the horse.
@@vegar6013 A couple of other people have commented about that but that gate is really high (probably 6 feet?). I can’t imagine a horse trying to jump it without a rider urging him and have never once seen a horse attempt it. Even when I go to international jumping competitions the highest I’ve seen is 5‘3“, but not even those horses will jump that high without urging from the rider.
He is too beautiful, and he knows it. Amazing horse. He deserved to win.
Yeah I thought he was clearly the best one.
The hooves are weighted to increase the animated action of the gait.
@@jackiedenio9218 correct and it enhances how well he looks. Not that he needs much help in that department of course!
@@MagnificentHorses good grief….you realise the very real potential of lower leg, hip and knee problems at some later stage in that animal’s life . I give up . 🤦♀️
@@wideawakerealist2141 I noticed this guy is basically kissing ass right here. Just ignore them mate and try to enjoy your day. 👍
I don’t understand, why they want to risk him getting injuried……if he had tried to jump that gate….
There is no horse in the world that would try to jump a gate that high. There was no risk of injury to the horse and he was doing what horses love and need-running!
He as looking for a way out
@@MagnificentHorses you are sadly mistaken. Horse have attempted to jump fences this high. Unfortunately, some have not made it. I have personally witnessed two - one broke both hind legs and had to be euthanized, the other one landed and broke it's neck. You don't know much about horses outside of this circus show, do you?
@@ezire no I actually know a lot about horses, especially jumpers since that’s what I do. Very few horses will jump a fence without the rider directing it and certainly not a fence that high. I’m afraid we will have to agree to disagree on this one.
He is educated it wouldn't happen
The natural movement of the Arabian and beauty as well as distance durability is amazing.
Yes 💯!
extremely well said on your part!
When his free run was over, why on earth does the handler keep jerking down on his halter.. ?. ..not to mention, if that horse slipped and fell, whilst being chased and teased with that whip, he could have broken a leg, hip, pelvis etc…I see no point in this…
I agree about the handler but I’ve never once in many years of watching stallions in this event seen one fall or get injured in any way.
@@MagnificentHorses I have seen one slide out... seen one go straight thru the judges seating area in the centre... no sure if they were injured, but turning sharply like they do, anything could happen sadly..
@@Cavykarma those are some crazy stories! It’s always something with horses.
That's the definition of why all of my "horse friends" call Arabians "Airheads". I had one ONCE, and realized I couldn't get him to THINK and use his head until he almost exhausted. I sold him and switched to warmbloods who had brains and used them.
That's interesting to hear. I've always read that Arabians are one of the most intelligent horse breeds. Too bad there's not an IQ test we can give them!😂
@@MagnificentHorses That's just marketing by Arabian owners..lol. All horses are pretty much as smart as every other breed and can get VERY creative in their devilment. They are very social and love to play with people and each other. Their driving force is eating and freedom and can be brilliant in their thinking. YOUR I.Q. test is figuring out how they escaped or got into the grain bin.
@@suzanneterrey4499 😂 That's for sure about horses thinking mostly about food!
Arabs aren't for everyone, but then, that's the beauty of horses. There's a breed for every kinda human perception. I've had/kept quarter horses, thoroughbreds, Saddlebred, an appy, Welsh cross, Morgan, Walkers: none of them knew how/cared to unlock locks, open latches or reconfigure water pipes like my Arabs did. You can't grow old with an inquisitive Arab in your midst. They aren't for everyone but then, they don't care to be anything but their God-given selves. From what I've experienced, the 'Airheads' are the Arab People: they have more money than horse sense.
Hah! or how many places they can stuff the empty feed bucket in!@@suzanneterrey4499
Such a gorgeous horse!
He sure is!
that handler just loves jerking that horses head. This is sick. The beauty of this breed and this horse is overshadowed by the handlers tactics and vanity. Very very sad sick display by the guy, no horsemanship at all.
Yeah I agree. 😟
I love this horse, what a beauty!!
Yeah he sure is!
I'd be curious how many higher strung horse would make it being screamed at & chasedcin the ring like this? He was sweating before it started & run for the gate several times, my bet is if he had his choice he wouldn't be in the ring chased.
He clearly loved being in the spotlight.
@@MagnificentHorses That is why in every liberty class the handlers are at the gate trying to keep the horse out in the arena.
@@MagnificentHorses You seriously think a horse, a prey animal, understands the concept of ‘being in the spotlight’? And if so, why was it necessary to chase him round with whips? Why did he keep trying to go and stand by the gate, to leave the arena? Try learning a bit about horse psychology and body language. Don’t confuse stress and flight response with loving something. Smh…
Of course he wouldn’t. He’d be out in the countryside peacefully grazing with his band of mares.
@@MagnificentHorses that is such bullcrap.. he thinks no such thing..
That is a magnificent animal.
Thank you! And yes, he is perfect for this channel!
Yes, the Arabian is the most beautiful, intelligent and loving of horse breeds. I have announced amateur Arabian shows. I have seen what really goes on. Too many times it has been cruel and selfish. My heart goes out to show horses. I think there should be trainer shows where the horse is given the halter to jerk upon and the whip to put the trainer through his/her paces.
Good idea!
To me, the worst offenders are the Big Lick and rodeo horses, right behind horse slaughter, trucking horses for days without food or water. Such insane cruelty, not to mention all the cruelty we inflict on the animals we eat. It's all about perspective. From Arab owner to Warmblood owner to kill pen rescuer, it is a shame how it all goes on behind closed doors and nobody wants to look at it.
Does this horse look to you like he has long hoof length and maybe been chained a bit like the gaited horses?
I wouldn't say they're most intelligent, but they are very smart.. I'd get most intelligent to the haflinger, though they do have Arabian blood, so I guess I'll let it slide. 😂
That is the most beautiful horse I have ever seen.
Thanks! He is definitely about one of the most beautiful horses I have ever seen, too!
Arabs are the most sure footed, quickest and agile horse breeds around. He could've easily cleared the fence with no training at all. They have a natural spring in their legs and very light on their feet. Also one of the kindest and sweetest breeds you'll get. They love attention. He would've done this many times and would've loved it every time. They love being free and will take advantage of it to have a run around, instead of being caught. Spent often 20mins trying to catch mine every now and then as he'd get close to me then trot off.
@@katherineschmidt2075 they're a special breed, all right. Glad you were able to have one. But there is absolutely no way he was ever going to try to clear that gate. Horses seldom jump on their own volition, but even the rare times they do it's only over low obstacles. I've seen hundreds of these horses in that event over the years and none has ever even tried to jump the gate.
Liberty Class is my favorite class in the Arabian shows. I NEVER have a whip in my hand when I show, teach, or lunge my horses. ALL my horses are voice & hand command trained when I'm not riding them. The SMARTEST breed I've worked with is the ARABIAN. In watching this lovely sorrel, if the gates hadn't been closed this ARABIAN would've been long gone! There's ABSOLUTELY NO EXCUSE to jerk on the halter to make the horse behave. I would be filing cruelty charges against the handler. Arabian Horse Show regulations need to be changed. If handles can't use hand & voice commands WITHOUT scaring the hell out of the horse, then they have NO BUSINESS showing a horse at all.
Thanks for your comment and I'm glad you train horses the way you do.
What beautiful markings. Perfect.
Thank you! And yes, he is an amazing looking horse!
Bryzzo makes my heart sing!!
That's for sure!
OMGosh. Truly magnificent.
Thanks, and he was definitely a Magnificent Horse
He is not scared! Ears forward having fun!
Thanks, and yeah it's obvious to people who can read horses that he's having a good time.
@@MagnificentHorses He is strutting his stuff!!
@@dustydemons882 absolutely!
Profit and money is the name of the game and who cares about cruelty to promote it. Some just do not get it.. There are many kinder ways to show a beautiful Horse.
He is stunning.
He definitely is!
The horse is not the show it’s trashy
How elegant, and breathtaking he is
I definitely thought the same thing!
I thought you were playing that aweful music over a loud speaker in the arena. Horse is beautiful!
Glad you like the horse, sorry you hate my music!😂
I don't like the way the handler is jerking his head and waving the whips around when there's no need, they're just hurting and scaring the horse. It shows itself beautifully without them mishandling it.
Yeah, I don’t like the way the handler kept jerking on the lead rope. I don’t think the flag waving scares the horse because he runs toward them several times. And when the trainer is leading him out the flag is right in front of him and has no effect on him. But I agree the jerking around is out of line.
@@MagnificentHorses I saw the handler beating the whip at the ground several times as if "threatening" the horse with it and even whipping the horse at least once, it just felt really unnecessary
@@miamyos I just watched the entire video again and there is not a single time when the trainers hit the horse with a whip. You are entitled to your opinion about the rest of it and there is certainly merit in what you say, but the horse was definitely not whipped during that performance.
@@MagnificentHorses good excuse bro 💀
@@ErlEquestrian888 I’m not sure what that means. What are you saying is a good excuse for what?
Praise the LORD for creating these horses!
Beautiful horse, atrocious music, screeching crowds . . . Yeah, I'm inspired.
Yeah the horse is definitely beautiful. The music is dubbed in to keep me from getting a copyright strike from KZhead. Sorry you don’t like my selection of music but it’s impossible to please everyone in that regard. Thanks for your comment though!
BEAUTIFUL!!
Thanks… I thought the same thing when I saw him!
This horse knew his assignment! The tail is a tell tell sign he was enjoying his moment in the spot light. Same feeling of ice skaters performing their ballet in a packed arena!
Thanks, and yes it was pretty obvious to me that he was having a great time and in total control of the situation.❤️
You see this same burst of excited energy in colts even with their mothers present in an arena when they “show-off” for all who’s watching…other horses, the ducks flying overhead, people! They know when others think they are beautiful and lean into it! Ears up and tails flying, catch me if you can attitudes!
@@janicemattox6964 yes, that is exactly right!
Bollocks! You can't know what a horse is feeling. You only know your interpretation.
@@realityjunky you absolutely can see signs in a horse to tell you if it is afraid or not. The signs that show this one is NOT afraid is that he shakes his head a couple of times toward the crowd to show his dominance the way a stallion does that with the herd. A horse that's afraid of those white flags does not run directly toward them like he does. A frightened horse doesn't stand there calmly while the trainer comes up to put a halter on. And a horse afraid of those flags waving certainly doesn't follow the trainer out on a loose lead line with the flag waving directly in front of him the way this one does at the end of the video.
I had a white one with light brown speckles when I was a kid, but a gelding. He was my whole world and my best friend. Own an Arabian long enough and they can and probably will become protective. I had a young 3 year old gelding I bought run towards me, not aggressively but my Arabian wouldn’t have any of it. He made a beeline straight towards me and stopped lengthwise in front of me and gave the young one the crustiest look I’ve ever seen! Hope to see you cross the rainbow bridge for me when I get there, baby.
What a great story! I wish I could have met your big boy!
Beautiful!!!! Thank you very much!!!
You're welcome and I'm glad you liked the video! And thanks for the nice comment.
His tail and mane is so beautiful and soft. I love how his tail just waves when he runs.
I know what you mean! I love that flaxen mane and tail color. By coincidence I'm going to be recording a couple of Arabian Horses today that have flaxen mains and tails. So you can watch for them coming soon!
WHAT A BEAUTY!❤
Thanks! Yes, he sure is!
@MagnificentHorses Do they ride good with a good gate? I use to have quarter horses and they rode rough. That was my younger days before I got my back injury from my job.
@@countryroad9827 their smoothness varies quite a bit from horse the horse, so it's hard to give a good answer for that. But they're beautiful horses and fun to ride!
That stallion is beautiful.
Thank you! I thought he was clearly the best one that night.
My favorite!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Nice! He's something special!
Wow, very nice Stud! John P.
Yeah, he is really amazing to watch!
That horse is not "terrified" or "frightened". He's having a great time. He's heard big crowds before, he's had those pieces of plastic waved in his face before, they're to keep him alert and looking pretty. He runs with his ears up, tail relaxed and flagged. Terrified horses shrink from the handler, tuck their tails up between their legs, flatten their ears down against their head, eyes wide open and darting around. This horse goes to the gate because there are other horses out there he wants to be with, they are herd animals. He's done this before, he stopped when the music stopped. If he was terrified of the handlers he would not stand still and let them put the halter on so easily. These horses are a big investment, anyone who truly abused them wouldn't work at the stable anymore. The live in beautiful barns, get the best food, have good vets and good farriers. I don't think he had big heavy shoes on, there are rules about how long their hoofs can be to show, and how much horse shoes they can weigh. These horses live in better houses, have better food and better health care than most of us do.
100% on everything you said!
This Is A Good Way For A Horse To Get Injured!!!
It must not be overly dangerous because in all the years I’ve watched this event with hundreds of horses competing I’ve never once seen any of them get hurt.
GORGEOUS
Thanks, he was something special!
Beautiful
Thank you! He is definitely a beautiful horse!
I'd hate to be riding him on the trail when someone waves a flag. I had a horse that was herded with atv. Every time she heard a two stroke engine all heck broke loose.
😱
What a beautiful animal being totally traumatised, the only difference between this and bull fighting is the sword in the shoulders
....this isn't even remotely comparable to bullfighting. Hyperbole much.
@@angustheterrible3149 totally. What a ridiculous comment!
That might be the most ridiculous comment I’ve seen yet. You’re comparing letting a horse run free in an arena for a few minutes to bullfighters slowly killing an animal for that event. Unbelievable!
He came right back to his handlers after he loved showing off! That’s what he came to do and he knew it! My friend has an Arab stallion who loves to show off too! Just take it in context and you’ll be happier for it!
@@careylarsen2227 yeah it’s unbelievable how many people can have such a negative view of a horse showing off while he runs free.
he is so pretty!
Agreed! He just looks fabulous!
Breath takingly beautiful
Thanks so much and I thought the same thing!
Wheres the Arab floating action, he was short striding with quite a high stepping action, not the floating trot I'd associate with Arabs...
If you look at his hooves, they are not only quite long but the shoes are quite heavy too 😒
Agree, I prefer a natural gait rather than horses that are padded unnaturally and move like sewing machines.
Action ruined by artificial weighted shoes and overlong hooves. Why Americans seem to think this makes horses look good I can’t begin to imagine.
This looks to me like a horse who has learned that he can run and play when his music plays, and the crowd will cheer him on. If he were being abused, he would not go near his handler and be haltered after the music was done. He would fight, he would back up as fast as he could, he might try to jump the gate. He wouldn't just go into a bouncy, excited trot on a loose lead (I saw no chain under the chin or over the nose, this is the same as basic stable gear) and stay right with the handler as he was led out. This horse gets to run free for a bit after being in a stall at a big show for a few days. He has every reason and right to enjoy himself and show off like this
Yep, that all is exactly right and what I've been telling all the naysayers on this video. An abused horse does not stand there while the guy walks up and puts a halter on, like you said. And if he were afraid of the white flags he certainly would not walk out on a loose line with the flag waving directly in front of him like what happens at the very end. So thanks for your comment!
This horse is not abused! He has a life better than most kids. He was having fun!
@@indianoutlaw9647 you are exactly right about that!
Beautiful horse!!!
Thank you and yes, he is a very special horse!
What a beautiful stallion, his body conformation is awesome, beautiful color and seems to be alert watching his trainers. ❤️🙏🏼 Sometimes these events exaggerate the natural movements of the horses, which is quite wrong, plus all this screaming is not good for any animals….horses have trouble focusing when this happens. It’s not good for anyone. I actually hate sitting behind someone who is screaming in my ears, it’s a distraction I can’t stand. Animals have better hearing than we do, so this becomes worse for them. I wish people would wise up and think about that before making such a fuss over everything. Oh, and I once rode a full Arabian for a short ride, not enough time to really get connected enough to be in touch with her, but I loved riding her. She was awesome, and intelligent. I was in my early forties then. Another horse I rode and often was an Arab/Morgan cross, one of the best horses I ever rode, quite intelligent and very responsive to my cues. He is the reason I learned more about riding and behavior of horses in general. He was not mine, but we connected like no other. He was a riding club horse, but was also being mistreated and abused by other riders, let alone his owners. He was too good of horse to be treated this way and never should have had so many riders on him. He died one winter in the mountains in 30 below zero weather, refusing to go back down with the herd to the warm barn area. He was getting so depressed, lonely, and giving up on life. I could see it in his eyes. He needed someone to love him for himself and be treated better. I cried when I heard this. I also found out, later on, that I could’ve had him for $500. This made me very sad because I never had the chance to have the money to get him. I was a teenager then and living with my parents at the time, and I had no place to keep him, otherwise I would’ve bought him right on the spot. He was a well trained horse and responded to leg pressure and other cues I would give him. He had a rocking chair lope that was a dream to sit on. But with all the riders on him, his training went out the window, and he lost the ability for the rocking chair lope and other gates. I was able to get him back into it, but only a short time. Also, it was as if he didn’t care anymore and he was losing the will to survive. I could see this in his eyes. He had too many riders on him, abusive as well, and ended up lame many times, sweaty conditions from running too hard over rocky areas, becoming lame from it, with bruises on his body from beatings he received, a sore mouth from reins being pulled far too tight and a sawing action from the reins with his mouth, all to where I wasn’t able to ride him afterwards until it healed up. He ended up from a snaffle bit to a hard curb bit. I never, ever treated him this way. Instead I was gentle with him, letting him have his head some, but still had the control overall. He never once bucked or ran away from me, instead he stayed close by my side, always alert with me. Later on, with all of the abusive riders and owner’s disregard for his wellbeing, it took its toll upon his life, zapping his strength and spirit, he became despondent and depressed and lost the will to live. With me though, he felt safer and reacted to my touch, but was not as alert as he once was previously. His name was Tony, and was only seven years old then. We connected very well together, and I loved him dearly. I will never forget him….I will always miss him and still wish I could have called him my own. I will always wished I could have given him the home and love he so sorely needed. He was that good of a horse, none cared about him the way I did, and in turn, Tony became my best friend in the saddle. We had many enjoyable rides together. RIP Tony, may you rest in God’s eternal peace and run free in God’s heaven ….👍👍👍👍👍👍👍❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼😇😇
That is such a touching story and thanks for sharing it! My three favorite breeds are Arabian, Morgan, and saddlebred. A cross between an Arabian and Morgan sounds like a great idea! So sad what happened to that horse you loved so much.
@@MagnificentHorses. Thank you for your comment, I appreciate it very much….Tony was such a wonderful horse, I still cry for him and another horse I rode bareback, Dixie, a work horse mare and in foal at the time…no saddles would fit her because her girth was so wide. She did the same thing Tony did and responded to my touch. I also fell in love with her. I was about 10 or 12 at the time. She also was being mistreated, they were showing her off how they had control over her, which she really didn’t need, by whipping her into running over a rough gravely road. When I first rode her she wasn’t limping, after that stupid display of over acting, I rode her again, but this time she was limping and losing her balance. I didn’t know then, but she must have bruised her hoof. We also connected and she responded to anything I wanted from her, while others were fighting her. She didn’t like them, and I couldn’t blame her, she wanted someone to love her also. I never had this problem while riding her. When my parents and I were leaving the ranch, she stayed by the fence until she couldn’t see me anymore, then she went back to the herd, but only then. I found out later she was being sold, and it saddened me that I wasn’t able to get her, but as before, no place to keep her and we were living in the city. I did cry for her, and I wished I could have had her too, she was a good horse and became my friend also. The owners really didn’t care about her, and it shows, especially when horses, or any animals are searching for someone to love them for themselves. It makes a difference in any situation involving animals or even people. Love is what binds us and keeps us together in life….👍👍👍👍👍👍👍❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼😇😇😇
@@AngelCatBaby that's certainly another touching story! It's so sad when wonderful horses are abused like the two you commented about. I'm glad they at least had you in their life!
@@MagnificentHorses I’m also so very glad I had them in my life, they helped me understand how unique they were and how precious life truly is for all living things, all life, and how amazing our planet truly is….unique in the universe and full of life upon it. It’s hard for me to explain this, but it’s something I know and in helping me to understand and see their side of life in this world and their gift to us.
@@AngelCatBaby very nice!
The horse must feel he is running for his life. People with whips, everyone screeming, all for the human's enjoyment.
I'm sorry but your comment shows that you are just projecting onto the horse how you think he should feel. You haven't given one sign that the horse is showing any fear. But there are several signs he is giving that show he's not afraid. You can read some of my previous replies to see what those are. Or if you want me to I can repeat them in a reply to you.
Beautiful horse ❤️❤️
Thanks, he sure is!
Those Arabians are hot blooded- one gear- wide ass open😂
😂That's for sure!
Drop the white flags..the screaming..loud music and have him run free and be his crazy self. I'm sure screaming..whipes are not in the desert
I don't understand the snatching on the halter. I know it doesn't hurt the horse but seems to upset this beautiful creature.
Thanks for the comments! What do you mean about the snatching on the halter?
@@MagnificentHorses He's snatching on the halter. Or it looks like it to me anyway. Looks like maybe to get the horse to raise his head maybe?? Most of it seems to be at the end of the clip.
@@singlewhitefemale1707 oh, looks like you must mean where the handler jerks down on the lead rope, right? I think he is doing that to try to get the horse to put his ears up and forward. I think he could’ve been a little gentler that way, though.
@@MagnificentHorses Yes! I just thought it was a little bit much. But like I said, it's not hurting the horse. It just looks bad and I didn't understand why he was doing it.
@@singlewhitefemale1707 👍
This guy knows he's # 1
Yes, he definitely does!
Beautiful horse
Thanks, he sure is!
I used play hide n go seek with my purebred Arabian filly out in her half acre corral with trees to hide behind...so fun!👍😊🐴🐎
Oh my goodness, that sounds so cool! I'm glad you got to experience that.
This poor horse 😢 How can this be acceptable in any world. Loud screaming crowd, music, idiots with flags chasing him around. It should be illegal, it's abuse !!! 😤 All that for $2000 wow
@@SuperFairies what signs do you see in that horse that indicate he is in any kind of distress?
Must be scary al that noise, it's a horse show not a discotheek
Shoe horses are used to the noise.
So ❤️ beautiful!
He's a special one among a very special group of horses that are in the show.
Создал же Бог такую красоту
Да, он точно это сделал!
He is very young but a piece of beauty ...
You are right. I looked him up and he is six years old, which is young for a horse. He looks and acts like he’s even younger than that, though.
Wow, amazing beautiful animal. Well done capturing his energy and regal flair. Your use of perspective change really added to quality and viewability of the performance. Well done.
Thank you for your kind words, Steve! It was a lot of fun to video it.
Beautiful horse.
Yes, he sure is!
Какая красота! Чудесное создание природы!
Спасибо! Я думаю то же самое!
Is this the new fad? Flagging the horse to run around in panic! What happen to having a rider? It would of been so easy for that horse to sail into that center circle. I'm puzzled! Please explain! An the crowd to yell like maniacs!
No, nothing new and they’ve been doing this for years. Of all the many stallions I’ve seen doing this over the years I’ve never once seen one even think about jumping into the center ring (and never will). A panicked horse doesn’t run with its ears up like he does, doesn’t run toward the people with flags, and doesn’t stand there calmly to be haltered at the end. And to answer your final question, the crowd is yelling because it appreciates the beauty and majesty of this great stallion.
@@MagnificentHorses A panicked horse DOES run with ears like that, stiffly forward is looking for danger. As for running at people with flags he didn’t have a lot of choice considering there were several of them placed around the arena. He was jinking trying to avoid or get past one, who drove him the opposite way. Of course he will stand to be haltered, he knows that leads to be taken from the arena. And showing your appreciation of a highly strung horse by screaming at it like a pack of baboons doesn’t exactly make sense.
It's a liberty class... it's just to show off his natural gait
@@not4u499 Natural gait?? Liberty…being chased around a ring??? 😂
I am not sure each breed has a liberty class. I would like to know. These stallions love to run. They know they are beautiful and will show it. Many of them would run without the flags. It is a cue not a scare tactic.
What the hell are they doing ? Just another event showing how badly horses are treated in ( must be ) USA.
I know I’m not going to change your mind but that horse was not being mistreated in the least. In fact he was having a great time out there.
That last thing this stud horse is subjected to is bad treatment. Grow a brain. Why would they mistreat him?
@@andreavongraszouw unnatural and frightening? That’s the environment that horse has grown up in. And he was not frightened in the least but rather was having a great time out there. A frightened horse doesn’t run toward people and it certainly would not stand there and let the owner halter it if it was afraid.
Turn ‘em loose, crank up the music, have everyone scream, and chase them with flags. Yikes
You're an idiot. That horse is babied and pampered, and probably lives in the cushiest stall that is cleaned out every day. Best vet care and tack. That horse is about as far as you can get from being mistreated.
I don’t know anything about horses, but this is beautiful
Thank you! He is definitely a beautiful horse, especially when he is running like that.
Breathtaking!
Isn't he though? He looks amazing when he's just standing there and then doubly so when he's running!
No doubt it was his show. Perfect baby and a sweet heart.
Definitely!
Been to that show in the past. Never seen so many out of control horses in the ring and out. Even stallions running loose in the lot!
I go multiple days every year. Your description is not remotely close to what it's like at this show.
This horse understood the assignment.
Yes, he totally knew what was going on and took charge of the situation!
😂ما شاء الله تبارك الله الحصان الاصيل اصيل اصلي جميل جدا جدا جدا جدا جدا ❤
شكراً جزيلاً! جميع الخيول العربية رائعة، لكن هذا الحصان جميل بشكل خاص!
Само совершенство!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
О, большое спасибо!
Арабские лошади невероятно красивые!!!
Thank you! They are definitely beautiful!
Gave me chills.
Glad to hear it!
What a beautiful animal ! but I can't help a feel bit sorry for him He's probably thinking why is it so GD Loud in here😬
they were so sweet and rewarding to him after the run
Yep! I’m sure he gets treated like royalty.
Are you kidding......this horse is loving the attention.... He is😅so used to this.....its part of his training
Absolutely! He shows no signs whatsoever of being afraid or intimidated. But he shows lots of signs that show the opposite of that.
Wow he is beautiful
Yeah he is one of the coolest horses I have ever seen!
Terrible music, screaming people, poor horse!
Oh let’s talk about the Arabian intelligence…..extremely smart and will not respond to an abusive owner!!! They will not respond to an abusive owner. They will fight back if abused. This stallion is NOT abused. Arabians demand a owner be compassionate and understanding and WILL NOT TOLERATE ABUSE!!.
They only fight back if they are FORCED to fight back. They will more than likely choose flight over fight if they are able to run away from what they perceive is a danger to their life. In the wild you do not see a horse that is being chased by predators fight back immediately if they can run away. Their first instinct- as prey animals- is to RUN AWAY. This stallion did not fight back because he didn't feel cornered enough to do so, and because he had enough space to run, he did. He was in flight mode, not fight. And of course no horse tolerates abuse! They don't, which is why they run away from what they think is out to kill them. This horse was terrified for his life, and seeing dumb humans chase him around was the equivalent of predators chasing him. If you want TRUE horsemanship, go watch Think Like A Horse. He is a great horseman, teacher, and an overall blessing to the horse world. He understands them very well and how they think- as prey animals. He thinks from the horse's perspective and sheds light on the abuse they suffer. A horse is only a horse and that is the only thing it knows how to be. They are prey animals and they will run from danger, and they will fight danger if cornered. And I saw your comment replying to me, but KZhead doesn't show it because KZhead.
Exactly. An abused horse is not going to stand there calmly while the trainer walks up and puts the halter on.
@@Eleganciaaaaaa do you seriously think that a horse that is “terrified for his life” is going to calmly stand there while the trainer walks up and puts the halter on? And do you think he would trot out with the trainer while the white flag is waving directly in front of him if it was that terrifying?
@@MagnificentHorses A calm horse would not prance around like this whatsoever. I see no true horsemanship, and the man being yanked around definitely tells me the horse is not calm. That man was literally struggling to keep the horse still from how scared it was. So, tell me, why does the horse always run away from the people chasing him? Arms raised, flags held high, chasing the horse. That is predatory behavior, and it scares the horse out of its mind. Why is it avoiding literally everybody chasing it? Horses DO NOT tolerate abuse, and they will NOT tolerate people chasing them like predators, so they will run from what they perceive is a treat to their lives. This horse did not fight back because it did not need to, it was not cornered enough or trapped to do so, it had enough room to run away from danger. Horses are flight animals-prey animals-and they will only fight if they have no chance to run away. And of course he stayed still with the supposed “trainer” standing in front of him with a flag: the “trainer” was not waving it, running towards him, or had his arms high. Connect the dots! It’s so simple! This is bad horsemanship from people who have no idea what they’re doing other than acting like literal predators in the eye of a prey animal.
@@Eleganciaaaaaa prancing around is exactly what the Arabian breed does. And if the horse thinks those flags are like a predator, why does he run toward them on a couple of occasions? And again, why would he calmly trot out of the arena at the end of the video with a flag waving directly in front of him? That horse knows exactly the game that is being played. You’re projecting onto him. How do you think he should feel instead of looking at the signs the horse is giving us.
Awesome I have been wanting to see some liberty work on horses
Sorry I overlooked your comment until now, but I'm glad you enjoyed the video!
@@MagnificentHorses I love horses and the best thing I want for them is not to go on the slaughter truck and I’m glad u saw this I am a absolute horse lover but I don’t hav done of my own right now but if I were to get one when I’m probably able to drive I might as well just I don’t no train some horse save from slaughter and things like that
@@hannahyamat6217 I have loved horses since I was a little kid and I’m guessing the same is true for you.
@@MagnificentHorses yes and now I’m 12 year old next month I turn 13 and I have loved horse sense I was 5 years old and my brothers do to but for them specific colors and I guess what I am trying to is I would love to rescue and save horses from slaughter more than anything else I love horses more than anything else they are my favorite animal especially sense u can ride them
@@hannahyamat6217 there is a great true story about a guy who bought a horse off the slaughter truck for $80 and eventually turned him into a world champion jumper. If you do a KZhead search for “Harry and Snowman” you will find some videos about it. I think you would really enjoy that story!
Just jingle those bells at your next Ren Faire. Nothing can beat an Arabian and they love us.
Thanks! And yes, the Arabian horses are great!❤️
Cuando lo soltaron salió a correr con ganas pero enseguida después buscaba el portón para salir del ruedo. Hay a un reconocer su belleza y elegancis
Gracias. Sí, definitivamente es hermoso y elegante. No diría que fue inmediatamente a la puerta. Corrió magníficamente durante bastante tiempo antes de detenerse en la puerta. Pero sí, creo que estaba listo para volver a su puesto hacia el final.
why are you terrifying this horse into running crazy? People screaming? You think this is good?
I’m sorry you think the worst was terrified. He was not.
This horse is showing off!!!! He’s fine!!!!if you knew anything about horses you would shut up! He’s happy! He’s showing you what he’s got!!!look at him!’ Are you insane? He’s wants to show off!! He’s licking he’s lips, he’s calm!!! Amazing
