There is nothing more beautiful than a horse doing what he loves. Running

[@aljohnston3698]

Grandfather, Thank you for the safe runs of the mounts & their riders. Sage Woman you set good seat.

In Indian Horse Relay- It's not over until it's over! NICE RIDING OMAK EXPRESS

[@alex_b.u.d.v.]

Horses and riders looks confortable without no saddle 😍

[@calicorose2638]

The sheer athleticism, skill and courage make this SO exciting and beautiful to watch! The warrior spirit is alive, well, and breath-taking! No judgement on whip use, but watching a rider who isn’t using one, sail past those who are, is particularly thrilling. It must take a lot of guts and faith in yourself and your horse to forego that advantage. Anyone can MAKE a horse run. Inspiring a horse to WANT to run and give all that he has, because he feels your heart, is truly awe inspiring. Love to all.❤️

Best horse racing video I’ve seen. ‘Mak...’ rocks!

[@ninilopez2202]

If you guys don’t like the way we race than don’t watch the videos if it pisses you off and these horses are trained to do this and is used to the wip but at least we aren’t giving them drugs to stay awake like other people are 🙄

[@imcavdb5465]

Since you ride bare back, the horse can throw you off anytime it wants. These horses won't run when they don't want to.

[@Talis1717]

This is sooo much more interesting than typical racing why would anyone get pissed off by this? Like seriously have y’all even seen what normal racing is like? it’s boring. And don’t even get me started on how some of the horses are treated 👀

[@markhenry2360]

Horses and rider are as one . This is the ultimate race both horse and rider enjoy . I could understand someone making that comment if they never experienced horse as a friend . Respect trust . Care . These young warriors should be proud and keep playing and respecti g the magical animals who are so much more then the eye takes in . They are definitely bog enough to refuse is our will . But when they love and trust you its spiritual . Love to all . . Try and find positive in everything . Try to be grateful when you have little . Try and care for a horse . Groom them. feed them. clean the feet muck the stalls and you will feel better about the bond between these riders and their ponies . Lotta work and so exciting and beautiful to watch . The guys don't even have a whip its like a soft belt . Encouragement . Building a sense of competition and urgency . They are enjoying this . And not doped up to run with painful injury . American horse racing . More like a use em up and trash them when they have run their hearts out .

[@markhenry2360]

@Michael Burkinshaw my bad on that . I still think it is exciting . Maybe some horses are into leather . Sorry bad joke . I don't use a whip myself to hit a horse but for training in s round pen . Gets they're feet moving and learning to change direction also you can touch the legs with it so they get used to touching . My friend knows me and what I want from her without a bit only body language or looking in the direction . I have known some pretty testy horses and the could be responding better with a little spank . Like when you slap a two year old catching them repeatedly putting the finger in a light socket . To each they're own . I really don't think these ponies mind . To them its part of the play with the boys . My girl would slow down and the whip would not make her run faster . She'd be like what the hell was that and prolly kick at it . Do you have horses ?

[@markhenry2360]

@Michael Burkinshaw all righty then . Bye bye

[@maupinmaupin1472]

this is so much better than traditional horseracing. Incredible horsemanship.

[@julieperkins9124]

Amazing horsemen! An exciting event

[@sierraficklin5548]

God, those horses are beautiful (yeah I know I’m late to the party. So shoot me)

[@imcavdb5465]

So am I 😁 Never seen these races before. I am hooked now.

[@liankyson9161]

sorry to be off topic but does anybody know of a way to get back into an instagram account?? I was stupid lost my password. I would love any help you can give me.

[@denverdanny3381]

@Lian Kyson Instablaster ;)

[@liankyson9161]

@Denver Danny i really appreciate your reply. I got to the site on google and im trying it out now. Looks like it's gonna take quite some time so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.

[@liankyson9161]

@Denver Danny it worked and I finally got access to my account again. Im so happy:D Thanks so much you saved my ass !

[@lawrencejump7391]

What an amazing event. Wish I could compete.

[@holyfox94]

Thanks to the few riders who didn’t beat their horses🙏🏻👍🏻

[@aquiline-eagle9669]

Whoa, I was actually there. Weird to see this again on KZbin.

[@luv2umumsue]

No tack, no helmets. Whoot! And then there are those sticks - rarrrh!

[@bribrifoster8871]

Susan Jensen Those sticks not hard. They never had those things before either.

[@luv2umumsue]

The horseback skills are admirable. I just disagree with hitting an animal with anything, especially when it is possible to get them to give 100% without that tool.

[@luv2umumsue]

@Michael Burkinshaw Nope.

[@charlottehathorn2286]

Susan Jensen same I don’t agree with hitting a horse I just carry a whip because my horse just goes if I just hold it when I use it I don’t hit him I just give him a gentle tap and this happens hardly ever

[@charlottehathorn2286]

Michael Burkinshaw exactly

[@hellothere3270]

I like how they don't whip the horses that much

[@EbonyAbraxas]

😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@bellasteppedonmahtoez932]

They whip them a lot maybe you don’t see it but they whip hard and alot

[@hellothere3270]

@@bellasteppedonmahtoez932 it was a joke, you doorknob.

[@bkdascenzo]

The typical race caller kinda ruins it... watched a doc with native chants/ drumbeat. Much better, says me.

[@KJ-jq2uq]

I agree. I wish that dude would shut up. They should be cheered on by traditional drum circle beats being broadcast over the PA.

[@evertvandenberghe]

Love this kind of racing... tons of skills :)

[@sharonbendtsen3421]

Wow. That’s a tough race

[@Kumutuna]

This is exciting. Man id love to try doing this

[@markhenry2360]

You should . Really nothing like games to challenge yourself and your pony .

[@deborahwebb3736]

I love this. The horses look like they are enjoying It. Where are the tribes getting theses horses? Are they claimers?

[@raulishnikovdancer2346]

2024 commenting. The guy from Bad Nation literally rode for his life in 10 seconds he was kicked by his horse, then the horse bolted and was almost taken down by a bypasser but he didn't wasted a split second and was back on his horse. How exciting is this.

[@blackie8083]

Wow, that was exciting to watch as hell!

[@Dimes4DaDevil]

Red feather Legacy Rock on 🤘

[@FriesianHorses]

Awesome 😍

[@mcoguyaj]

I have never seen these races before and that was great. The exchange was amazing and it makes the race more exciting because it depends on the exchange if you will keep your lead so anything can happen. At the 17:35 time mark that rider barley got thru the exchange without a broken bone. Whoever is complaining about how these horses are treated and the use of whips you have no F#%king idea what you are talking about. Some on these riders don't even use whips and no tack which the horses prefer no loading into start gate where horses can easily break a leg and then get put down . Every horse race the riders whip the hell out of the horses from start to finish. Watch some start gate fails and see how the race horses like getting into that gate. These horses look in great shape and they like to run when they are healthy and these horses have a lot of energy. So before you comment on these races you should know what your talking about unless it's just a racist thing with native americans and in that case F#%k Off

[@jamieritter3873]

My husband used to sulky race in the SW. He knows a lot about horses. We watched with dismay the number of horses that were whipped. Whips should be outlawed. If a rider and horse are truly one unit, then the horse will respond without giving it a beating. We also believe professional thoroughbred racing should also outlaw whips. Please do not allow whipping of horses.

[@sarahdlp524]

See? The one who sat quietly and rode with his hands, won. The one in the lead who was twisting to whip, sitting up, tensing and unbalancing his horse - lost the lead. You don't have to whip so much.

[@sharonbendtsen3421]

Do the women get to race?

[@simplyinspired4038]

repeatedly hitting your horse with a crop in the same place is so painful! I thought this was awesome until I saw they crops...Like using a crop once or twice is different than just hitting the same spot.

[@laurenkifer9145]

Michael Burkinshaw yeah and that’s exactly how you shouldn’t be using a crop pain has no place in horse training

[@Dimes4DaDevil]

Too cool 😎

[@TheTWISTmyGears]

Indians RULE

[@markhenry2360]

That was the best horse race I ever saw . Awesome . Mice sex appeal also

[@HarbingerLea]

Why did they have a restart?

[@CoDxNewBxKilleR]

Believe it's called a relay race.

[@feefee6889]

The flag was up but they didn’t go properly, and went all over the place. ( I know this is an old comment) but for other if they want to know.

[@Dimes4DaDevil]

I get stressed and overly wired with this and I shoulda been there.

[@cm6995]

Oh why those tiny ponies? Kid is too big. Impressive how fast they are with such a heavy cargo.

[@emmahandy1512]

most ponies have a better bone density than horses, draft horses can only carry as much as regular horses because their bones are not very dense.

[@mus3415]

@@emmahandy1512 Draft horses can carry alot more than an "average" horse. Of course he they're meant to pull heavy things- which is what they're bred for- and not meant for riding, per-say. Draft's even take longer to mature because of their bones.

[@emmahandy1512]

@@mus3415 Yes, me saying 'regular' doesnt really define much lol. I mean a horse a few hands smaller than it.

[@wintershock]

superdinogirl42 o snap horses should only be carrying 25% or less of their body weight. They should’ve used larger ponies or regular horses for this.

[@Dimes4DaDevil]

Small compact kick ass

[@izyourgirlCharlotte]

On the second round longfeather kept on and on and on and on whipping that poor horse 20 times in a row 😡🥺😖

[@fee7778]

I hate people who beat animals for their success. 😠

[@StFidjnr]

13:17 so much so that it is an aborted start

[@bigt5731]

Very sad display of horsemanship , using the whip at every stride is just wrong, they have legs and a seat to ask the horse for more . This would not be allowed in any other horse sport.

[@emmahandy1512]

probably would be allowed in many other horse sports sadly

[@sagepastorius9485]

Omeck express didn't not even on the final stretch

[@chrisandthemike9020]

Quincy Ball that’s not the point but ok. It doesn’t matter the race it’s wrong. And your actually incorrect

[@chrisandthemike9020]

Quincy Ball you don’t know your history. Europeans knew how to ride horse before the native Americans because they brought horses over to North America. They were never originally here. And I’m not a hater your the one that got mad and felt the need to comment and I’m just correcting you. And my name doesn’t have to do with anything

[@quincyball4440]

?????? Am not going down to your level and they came from Spain I know where they came from and it was the natives that showed the horse soldiers how to ride if you don’t know I think it was the comanches that did look it up so hate over it ok ?????? Lmmfao presidency runs deep in your blood but it’s ok you sound dumb asf

[@DouEditz]

How many bets that not a single Native American was there?

[@jlf905]

Most of the teams there were native or partially native

Are you trying to be a prick or does it just come natural "Grandmaster" Buu? Lol

This isnt sad. Trump is sad. Hell these animals are well cared for. Pls us natives know how to take care its not abuse
