Beholder Just Being a Horse

Beholder is preparing for her return by "being a horse." Zoe Cadman checks in with the star mare.

I TRULY LOVE SEEING AN OWNER PUTTING THE NEEDS OF THE HORSE FIRST. YOU CAN TELL YOU GUYS TRULY LOVE AND RESPECT BEHOLDER, SHE IS TRULY ONE OF THE GREATEST EVER.

[@mallorys728]

I'm glad that they only see a horse, not just a "race"horse. That just makes me respect her and her connections even more.

[@suzanneyoung8011]

Ahh so glad I found this video. Loved seeing her in a western saddle and playing in the water. Next to Beholder, best part is seeing the pretty gray cat sitting on the corner of Mr. Mandella's desk. 🙂

[@monicap1717]

Not a small fraction... A big part of her successsss !! 👏❤

[@sfoster4874]

What a magnificent racehorse Beholder was! And what a beautiful girl she still is! What a joy to get to share this video.

[@juliehertz8768]

[@zeshaanbokhari7234]

she looks like a casual riding horse, this is so cool

[@kayeroskaft9619]

Fun to watch this video again. Better than watching her race

[@ratherbwithhorses]

I love how she looked at the camera at the end. Ready to go.

[@marieowens5387]

[@shelleysloane3837]

[@Alessandra7967]

Awesome❤️❤️❤️

[@RedBev59]

wow, western saddle even. She's a great horse.

[@RedBev59]

+ΩHappyHoovesΩ  my TB's wouldn't tolerate it.  Too much girth to tighten. I was envious Beholder did tolerate it. No harm meant by that comment. I've always ridden English .

[@RedBev59]

+ΩHappyHoovesΩ I guess so.

[@peightonstorm1053]

Where's the part where it's just a horse without pain bits in its mouth

[@bishlap]

Wasn't Beholder in foal w/ Arrogate? I recall reading that somewhere a while ago.. I'll have to google it...anyway, those are brilliant racing genes at work (if true). I'LL BE BACK!! EDIT: Beholder in foal (gave birth) to a filly w/ CURLIN and Songbird gave birth to an Arrogate filly. That is a royal pair of fillies, genetically speaking. We'll see. If anything like their parents - L00KOUT!!

[@matthewshaffer829]

Wow she looks good on western

[@juanramos8836]

She miss the race track ...and his friends mike Smith...😞

[@anthonyconte2475]

God she's beautiful

[@santiagomacahilas2922]

love BEHOLDER always have she's an awesome horse I've watch her since her two year old campaign she's a beast another ZENYATTA hope she retires soon go into motherhood she's done so much already I truly believe AMERICAN PHARAOH dodged a bullet I think BEHOLDER would've smoked him in the BREEDERS CUP CLASSIC no doubt in my mind if she would've been healthy for that race she would've been a triple crown winner herself with THREE BREEDERS CUP WINS IN THE JUVENILE, THE FILLY AND MARE CLASSIC AND THE CLASSIC what a SUPERHORSE she is I love her right there with ZENYATTA GIRL POWER BABY

[@airabella-by7fr]

why is she using a englesh brest plan and a western saddel??

[@airabella-by7fr]

+airabella 2004 plate

[@mallorys728]

Some western riders just prefer a lighter breast plate on their horses. I think it was a martingale?

[@lifeunbridled]

That’s not an English breastplate. It’s a yoke. Almost all track riders will go out with a yoke if not breezing or racing. It can be used with a running martingale attachment or as a last-ditch grab strap.

[@peightonstorm1053]

Can't even play in for the foot in the water and some guys yanking on a chain that is so terrible

[@ingridvpolor6383]

The only thing that interests horse racing fans is to see how they are exploited, and if they are not good enough to run, they are discarded. They don't really care about the welfare of the horses

[@BeccasaurousRex270]

You’re an idiot. Majority of TB that don’t make it to the track are rehomed and turned into eventers, hunters, or just pleasure horses. They aren’t “discarded.” They’re found new homes. There’s a lot of after care programs too.
