They all look to be 1/2 Arabian gorgeous 😍

[@MagnificentHorses]

Yes they are!

[@MR-ly4xt]

I love the light chestnut colour. It's so pretty. I love to see the action of the trot. Arabians are amazing horses.

[@MagnificentHorses]

Thanks for your comment! That light chestnut color is pretty amazing!

[@MissLady-pq4hc]

[@MagnificentHorses]

Aw, thank you! That's really nice to hear.

[@sarahmarks7082]

😍🥰 awww I don’t blame that Arabian horse 🐎 who wants to have some fun and run 🤣🤣 I can’t choose a winner - they are all great horses 🐴 and are graceful in their own way!

[@MagnificentHorses]

I always enjoy seeing horses that love to run!

[@TCREGAN1]

I Agree with the Announcer!

[@MagnificentHorses]

Good eye!

[@sanramondublin]

Arabian horses , unsurpassed by beauty, intelligence and emotion. Best horse for children is the Caspian mare , bred in America. Thanks for the clip , enjoyed every second of it looking at these beauties. ,, california.

[@MagnificentHorses]

Thank you and I'm glad you enjoyed watching the video! I'll check out the Caspian breed.

[@olgamoses5706]

oh and the saddles why do they sit so far behind the common vertical line? Thank you

[@MagnificentHorses]

It's to help the horses to have a more flashy movement.

[@RobynHoodeofSherwood]

Such grace and elegance. I picked the Reserve but not the Champion.

[@MagnificentHorses]

Well, you did better than my picks because my first place didn't even make the top two. I will say, though, when I watched the champion at the very end in slow motion I could certainly see why the judges picked that one. I saw the judge's card, and three out of four judges had all four horses picked the same, and one of them had the top two reversed. It always amazes me how consistent those judges are.

People who have watched this breed from decades back know this is NOT how the Arabian was born to move. They can have a natural trot that extends (it is beautiful to see!) that was designed to cross the desert sands. In this class, their front hooves should be where the action is as it extends out to make them look more like they are floating - not like their knees are about to hit them in the chin. This is Saddlebred action, not Arabian action. If an Arabian trotted like this in the desert they would be plowed into the sand. The Arabians had something all their own, and it is a shame that whoever makes the standards tried to remake them. I haven't been to an Arabian show in over 3 decades, and I believe it was around this time when the standards changed, and became something unnatural to the Arabian, as well as harmful to the Arabian horse's legs. If you don't know what they do to even Saddlebred horses to get that high knee action at the trot, take a little time and do some googling. If you have a heart, it won't look quite so pretty afterwards . . .

[@CarolinaCarolina-ph9mx]

I do appreciate you sharing the videos. I wasn't knocking that. What I can't stand is what has been done to the breed for these park horse classes. I do look forward to seeing the Western Pleasure classes. The necks are pulled back a bit too much for my liking, but other than that, the horses are pretty natural, so don't suffer any long term damage due to being shown. They do make a pretty little Western horse. 😊

[@donzathreedee]

I agree. None of these horses look like the classic Arabian. They are bigger, slimmer, more upright and higher movers. These look like Saddlebreds. They are pretty, but I much prefer the old Crabbet types.

[@MagnificentHorses]

@@donzathreedee thanks for your comment and you are certainly allowed to have that opinion. I can tell you that there are many who comment on my videos who agree with you. There are also many others like me who disagree, at least to some extent. But the unifying thing is that we all love the Arabian breed.

[@sueraymo3239]

These horses are 1/2 arabian. Usually saddlebred/arabian

[@MagnificentHorses]

@@sueraymo3239 thanks for sharing that info. I should have said that Iman earlier reply. There might Anglo Arabians, which as you probably know are half thoroughbred.

[@olgamoses5706]

Can someone explain me what do they have on their front hooves and why? Thank you

[@MagnificentHorses]

Those are weights to cause the horses do you have higher knee action.

[@CarolinaCarolina-ph9mx]

Something to make them look pretty - and then cause them damage to their knees and legs later. In other words, awfulness. I don't like these classes for Arabians because this is Not natural to the Arabian.

[@nasseralgazal225]

👏👏👏👏👏🇧🇷 São Paulo. Brasil.

[@MagnificentHorses]

Obrigado pelo seu comentário desde o Brasil! Que bom que você pode assistir meus vídeos desses magníficos cavalos de tão longe!

Why the sad emoji?

[@XxShellyW13xX]

Reserve- dark sorrel, and grand - light sorrel.

[@XxShellyW13xX]

Whoops! Missed the grand!😅

[@louisecassidy5991]

They are "overbridled". Free in the desert they float, on a loose rein. When an Arab floats he sends a clear message "Don't touch me!" and he cannot float held in. And if you never rode a floating Arab on a free rein you ain't yet qualified. Arabs are daisy cutters, not hackneys.

[@MagnificentHorses]

It sounds like you prefer classes like hunter pleasure. But not every class has to be one that is like a Bedouin riding his or her horse over the desert sands. And really, the native costume class would be the closest to that. As much as I love the native costume class, the show would be a little boring if every class was like the original Arabian horses running across the desert, don't you think?

[@joannesmartens9442]

A very stunning breed, but the riders have a very ugly outfit.🥰

[@RobynHoodeofSherwood]

Par for the course with Park Horses.

[@lizhepper2379]

These riders do not look good. Maybe the breed, maybe poor riders

[@MagnificentHorses]

Yeah, it's probably poor riders who made it to the championship class at the biggest Arabian horse show in the world.
