Bedouin Story: Training and living with Arabian Horses

[@texasmutti]

I wish all horse owners would treat their horses with the respect and love that you provide.You are an amazing human being and I wish you many many more years with your horses. Beatrice

[@jeannebrown5702]

God blessed me with the responsibility of a Egyptian Arabian stallion to care for.. Best friend, trusted and loved. The bond with this horse is the most cherished. Arabian are a gift.

[@Jefferdaughter]

In parts of the US, most horses do live in box stalls 10 or 12 feet b 10' to 12'. They may get out of the stall for an hour or so a day for riding, though many owners can't get to the boarding stable every day to ride. In some areas, turnout, if available, is in 'paddocks' so small that there may not be enough room for a horse to trot around, much less canter or gallop. If the stall is clean and the horse is fat, this is all considered 'good care'. Yet owners who keep their horses out on pasture with access to shelter as the animal chooses are sometimes criticized for not giving their horses good care, particularly if the horse(s) are lean and FIT instead of fat. It seems that fewer and fewer people have ever seen truly fit horses, (or dogs). Land availability and cost are issues for many horse owners, yet we should do what we can to encourage the management of horses to allow them to have as much time outside in roomy paddocks/pastures as possible.

[@Rachel225566]

I approved of all the methods used except for the lying down one. I have never used it. However I do see an amazing relationship between horse and man here. A "broken" horse, trained in the old cowboy way, does not follow his master, he does not rest his head on his masters shoulder, or "groom" or "play" with his clothing. This man does have a beautiful connection with his horses. And as all Arab owners know. You can't "dominate" an arab like you can a QH. Only mutual friendship works

[@sonseere10]

Yes, mutual respect and trust. I hope this type of horse knowledge spreads. It is in the best interests of the horse.

[@Dell_Angel69]

I love them there the best. When l get one l will take care of them also feed them wash them clean them also be gentle to them l love god for everything he gave to us and we always will.

[@Kibbe-naye]

This is simply amazing and stunning !! Thats the real old school of training !!

I ask Allah to bless you and what you do !

[@hugesea6618]

He is professional and yes the real feeling of horses cannot be taught

[@EratoTiaTuatha]

Watching this video almost made me cry. It's amazing to see how a person can bond with an animal using their language. It's the same with all animals: horses, dogs, cats. People always want them to understand human language and do what they want them to do without understanding what the animal is telling them. And it turns out, if you use the animal's language all you have to do is ask and they'll do anything for you, even die.

‏ما شاء اللهWhat a beautiful horse

[@horseisbeauty]

It's wonderful to see something of the orgins of the desert dancer I own today. I learned alot from this and was so entertained by this informational video. Thanks for posting, I very much enjoyed this.

[@annerfrancis]

So many people remarked about the horse's diet: camel milk and dates. Okay. How much pasture do you see in the desert? None, right? So, what to feed the horse? That's right: milk (the perfect food & produced by a fellow denizen of the desert) & dates for carbs & roughage. Equines are herbivores but during the Crimea War, German allies of the British who were mounted troopers kept their horses always at peak condition by sharing their beef rations with them. British mounts by comparison were always in poor condition because they did not receive the extra protein. (See The History of Horsemanship for the story). And then there's Sgt. Reckless of the Marines who ate whatever her fellow soldiers ate, including beer & peanut butter. She was a little Mongolian mare used to racing, but the Marines bought her to carry ammunition up the mountains of Korea in the heat of battle, and the dead & wounded down the mountain. Her memorial can be seen at Quantico. Based on what's available, as long as the necessary nutrients are present horses can thrive!

[@Jefferdaughter]

Every mammal starts life on a diet of pure milk. So milk is not such a strange food for them, after all. Most any adult animal will drink milk if they can get it. If predators are lucky enough to kill a lactating female (deer, antelope, cow, etc) they eat the udder with the milk inside first. It's interesting that people make a fuss about feeding milk to these Arabian horses, which is a traditional practice used for many centuries. Yet people seem unaware that swine (hogs and their pigs) are NOT herbivores, but omnivores that evolved eating animals as well as plants, and therefore ought to have animal products in their diets.

[@paardentango]

My dream would be that people got connected by the horses, they are so sensitive and can teach people to reconnect again. Horses do not know hat ride, thats the best lesson we people can get. The world needs you people! Thank you for sharing this wisdom.

[@gcrranch439]

I love our Arabians! We ride them mostly bareback and in halter. I hate all the tack.

[@rosiebloom7333]

The most loyal friend I ever had and wish I could have another, loved watching this hate watching western pleasure Arabians with the ton of metal in their mouths and a load of tack. (sorry if I have offended anyone not meaning to) I rode mine with rope halter bare back no other horse did i ever have like her, I miss her so much and was with her right at the end. Praise be to God for his wonderful creation The Horse.

[@cjsanders7997]

The Arab horse is without equal. I have had 7 my last 2 are mother and son they are my heart

[@janicefjohnson1]

So glad they rescued that beautiful stallion from America. There's a lot of people who don't know how to train a horse like him...sad to think that this Arabian would of been put down because of someone's ignorance.

[@sonseere10]

It, unfortunately, happens.

[@edwinsemidey7405]

unfortunate alot of american trainers suck they are so full of themselves. monty was the only true horse whisperer in america. he believed like this guy .

[@CommentingCritic]

This is such a great video! Arabians are so loyal!

[@knittwitty74]

This man reminds me of Monty Robert who also uses body language to communicate with horses. He watched mustangs and learned how the communicated with each other. It's wonderful to see people teach animals though non violent ways. It can also be applied to people- respect and kind but firm is a better teacher the violence and abuse, for all living things. I respect this man, I wish him well with all the horses he teaches.

[@bellabelliboo]

Wow, I would love to go in training with this man and learn from him... I think he's brilliant!!!

[@sonseere10]

Your horse can train you if you learn to listen.

[@Siobhan1234]

I am an arabian horse at heart, the wind of the desert is my playground inside my head , i feel the power of the horse legs in my nerves, that power run through my blood giving me energy to stay alive.......

[@101curlywurly]

[@OTTBs4me]

thats a real horseman right there. forget parelli and company

[@sonseere10]

He is one of the best.

[@mermaidAria67742]

OldBurgerLover I think I'm one of the few people that fucking hate the parelli's

[@sonseere10]

You got that right!

[@PsychicIsaacs]

The Parellis are good, they have taught me a lot, but this guy is absolutely amazing!

[@libsmacker7]

My friend is terrified of my arabian. I tell her shes only afraid because she doesnt understand him. She cant catch him in the pasture or load him in the trailer. Well he wont let her but he will let me. Im not a profressional trainer so its not wise for me to lay my horses down as he showed in the video, but when they are lying down in the pasture I will lay on em and stand as he did. My horses are very gentle.

[@ponytales2001]

Your training methods are wonderful. It's nice to see people appreciate and respect the Arabian breed as you do. My first Arabian was destined to the killers, but a kind lady took her in and sold her to me. She was extremely Loyal and I loved her til the day she took her last breath in my arms.Her name was Nyte Flyte,and she taught me much about the breed. I now have 3 Arabians that do endurance racing. I really love this intelligent breed

[@sonseere10]

Thank you. You have changed my life. I have a very strong mutual respectful relationship with my horses.

[@Siobhan1234]

if you can breathe the spirit of horses you will understand in deep who am i .... i understand how you work with your horses i do the same with some of my horses. is so important to give time to trust us. i was in Morocco in october and i ride the arab stallions from that area i wish i could visit your area too.

[@beautyxpress3653]

While the very beginnings of the Arabian horse are hidden in the desert sands most experts agree Arabians originated in the vicinity of the Arabian Peninsula. The Bedouin tribes trace their common history with Arab horses back to 3000 BC and keep meticulous ancestral records or ‘pedigrees’. The Bedus used the horses for beasts-of-burden and war mounts. The Arab’s hardiness is a result of the harsh desert climate and terrain they evolved in

[@Zakarialebde]

Now this is a trainer. Original arab trainer from the wild also the horses. Thanks.

[@lorrettacrowley5922]

The Beautiful background music is enchanting and adds to the majesty of the horse .

[@orixxboy]

Wow I'm riding Years n Never heard of a horse drinking camel milk n dates ,I like this guy Ali ,he has a gift with understanding,powerful

[@ahmrou82]

+orixxboy well, it been centuries like that. And that's how Arabian Horses survive in that harsh environment. There is not a lot grass over there as you know.

[@citizenjane3648]

+orixxboy apparently the camels milk is good for their liver on endurance rides, or so i;ve heard.

[@alsosusieq256]

exactly, I often wonder about the diet and the superb intelligence they have - with the higher protein etc.

[@alibinarab7899]

orixxboy camel milk mainly good for bones and brain cells help them become stronger and smarter

[@Jefferdaughter]

Actually, the practice of feeding camel's milk and dates to horses has probably been done for thousands of years.

[@muslimandproud4251]

[@Nomsani]

In the olden days in south africa, when the tollgate system was still in use, my father told me that a horse with 4 white legs/ stockings did not have to pay tollgate fees. Horse could pass free.

[@catherinewhite4313]

Interesting to me how Indigenous cultures develop these respectful ways of interacting with horses.

[@abdibgm5748]

These are Bedouin Arabs and they're desert nomads, it's sad to see their culture and unique Arabic dialects are fading away.

[@kreeper88]

him putting the horse down is similar to what I was taught we call it sacking out..Ali has a great technique for sure.I dont believ in the whole horse wisperer idea but like him I do believe in the ability of reading a horse an understanding them..Great vid glad another on here sent me the link..

I love these horses. So pretty...

[@Weaponsmaster8595]

I adore Arabians. I used to own three little fillies but after working with them and several others on an Arab ranch I decided paints would be better for me. Either way, Arabs are still beautiful and I would love the opportunity to take one on as my trail horse. It's true that Arabs trust more, but I must also add that they hold grudges too. They are intelligent beyond belief ;)

[@wrouillie]

[@msityhorse2001]

I have no favorite horse breed because I see beauty and importance in each breed. But Arabians are special because my best friend is an Egyptian Arabian. I think that Arabians are generally the most versatile breed and once you have it, they are extremely safe and loyal. Unfortunately, most ppl (in US) don't know how to befriend them and all they see are crazy hot bloods. The QH craze and stock prejudice makes showing with Misty very difficult here in America. I use the same method w/ my horses.

[@lunarcalendar368]

The key is not dominance but trust. Beautiful, you can only have a relationship with an Arabian.

I enjoyed this video and seeing how the horse from USA who was suppopse to be dangerous became so wonderfully loyal. would love to learn more. I think that making the horse lay down like that is far better than having to have him "put down" (killed) for being too dangerous to his owners.

[@Jefferdaughter]

Clarification: The rope looped over the head of the horse forms a halter, also called a head collar in some countries - not a bridle. A bridle has a bit which goes in the horse's mouth. (The so-called 'bitless bridles' are actually more like a halter or caveson with reins than true bridles.)
