Number one, they’re bred that way. You can look at conformation picks and they’re generally relaxed with their neck down or at least in line with their back. Number two.. Since when is it paranoia to put their head down? If anything it’s trust because they have limited sight there and must trust their rider. This horse was never abused and made more in his life than most people could dream of.

@@ReinerDesigns Yeah, I get that they are bred nowadays with a that kind of top line and they will carry there neck low naturally - this run and lots of Fappani's style is to have them BEHIND the Perpendicular with their nose - never in my life have I seen a horse run out in the pasture like that - and running at top speeds like that with their nose tucked back like that looks very unnatural and overdone....I understand he is keeping them in frame but, again, I don't like the style as it looks/feels overdone and I would like to know what's in his mouth. My idea of an ideal head carriage and what a horse should look like is Wimpy's Little Step winning the futurity as a 3 year old, for example. No question this Gunner is a rock star. And I am really not trying to knock Fappani - I don't personally know him or how he trains - I just really don't like that style as it looks over controlled for me. i want to see more of the integrity of the horses spirit rather than something very dominated...again I would reference that Wimpy Little Step run to illustrate what I mean.

Must be Shawn Flarida

They got special blades and training, some of them running shows until theyre 20

Still. .....

That's why some people put polo wraps on their legs.

Just saying but it puts no more pressure on the horses legs then say cross country ir jumping

Camilla Mikkelsen-Bakken Horses are herd animals, saying they cant run that long is like saying... I don't know, that dogs shouldn't bark. They are built and born to run, and they can jump if they wanna jump. People need to stop thinking that horses are easily broken twigs, these animals are tough!

J.D. Wing You are 100% right.

Ikr im an english rider too

It's probably because it's a different field that makes it more entertaining. Like, I can and will watch dressage for hours end, but I know i'll never do it!

They have the same sire

here_lies_squidward's_hopes_and_dreams yes it is very much common when the ride and maneuvering is good

Most consider her the 'GOAT' of reining... she is the highest money earner - over 500,0000, AND has produced 3 NRHA futurity winners to date, with 3 different sires.

Shania Banman no

Is a totally normal thing that every reining horse do 😀
