[@elizabethcsicsery-ronay1633]

Finally, someone who understands this. I am a great animal lover, esp. of horses. I have six rescue horses plus a trotter. But this extreme animal defense is really irritating. Do you think we can just stop using horses and other animals in racing, jumping, dressage, hobbies. They would just stop breeding them. So please think!

[@kymprice01]

I was on the fence, until I started reading the comments and taking at face value what the experts here have said that this isn’t animal abuse. I kind of compare it to training a dog. I am however unsure about the neck position, that really does look painful.

[@naturalriding7418]

Let me point this out: this is a lustiano (hopefully i wrote this correct) and these horses have a thicker neck. The way the horse is walking is normal. His ears are relaxed so it must be trained correctly. I cannot say if it likes to do dressage only the horse can say that for himself. The only thing i have to say is that the bit is a bit rough for the horses mouth and that the horse drools a bit to much for my liking.

[@axo9813]

almost everything you said is correct i hope this gets more likes so people stop using this as a reason for it being 'abused.' the only thing i have to say is the horse salivating is absolutely fine, it means it's content, relaxed, and working hard, the more the better really.

[@devfrancis7666]

The horse has a double bridle, which is a requirement for FEI grand prix, and doesnt seem to have any problem in it, you can also see the minimal effort the rider is making with his hands through the bit of slack in his lower rein. we are taught from pretty much lesson 1 that it should be 80:20 seat and leg: hand, so when you have to use the upper level equiptment, you arent harming the horses mouth. Nobody can make it to this level without such discipline because it also affects ballance. Also, in dressage we like to see the mouth foaming because it looks like the horse is thinking and focused, so sometimes we put a bit of sugar on the bit. Anything happening in this video is FAR from abuse as the replying comment seems to think.

[@veggie9067]

Natural Riding yeah I kinda agree there

[@melissabayer8254]

The horse drools because it cannot swallow, either because the nose band is too tight or pulling on the tongue too much. What about his tail? Lashing around most of the ride? The piaffe is not correct,, as his front feet come under, instead of his hind end dropping more. Hes more correct than most of the riders out there but not great

[@gaellesurmont2324]

Natural Riding lusitani x

[@artandhorses]

All the transitions and even the change in impulsion when the music is more intense. Totally in sync with the music/ kür chosen. One of my favorites.

[@dominicweber]

The Iberian riders are definitely the most artistic riders, every time. Just remember the amazing program of Fuego. Technically they may not be the best, but I adore their horses, especially Lusitanos and Cartujanos, Andalusians and Alter Real less. Just look at this horse! That neck! Those proportions! Born to do dressage.

[@moon-ig8tq]

Sylla Atlas I agree. The horse has beautiful conformation for the sport!

[@dena-albaalba-dena8923]

Many thanks from Spain. I adore them too

[@coollikegrass2489]

I think technically they are the best. While the warmblood is bred for impulsion and big gaits, Andalusians are bred for collection. Their confirmation is also much more suited. Do you see how far that hind leg went under the horse? Far surpasses valegro any day

[@dominicweber]

@@coollikegrass2489 But their canter lacks quality, and so does the walk. Plus, they struggle to make the big sport dressage extensions.

[@coollikegrass2489]

@@dominicweber I would definitely say no their Canter's and walks do not lack quality. This horses canter was a dressage canter just like any warmblood As for extension, yes it is harder. You are going against something that was bred to extend with something that was bred to collect. But as collection is the main goal of dressage we should support something that can truly collect but not extend so well over something that can truly extend and not collect so well

[@eliyasara9786]

sorry? have you ever seen a horse in pain. They dont buck, kick or throw their riders. Horses in pain are SILENT AND QUIET. That is how they have evolved over millions of years, if they show pain in the wild, a predator can easily come and nab them, therefore they are masters at pain concealment. The few times horses buck at jumping shows and on cross country courses is beacuse the pain has become unbearable and they try to show people. PLEASE dont say that if the horse was hurting it it would protest. It wont. It never will.

[@rengab137]

I've seen horses protest their pain? So am I blind or what?

[@eliyasara9786]

@@rengab137 Horses will show their pain if they feel like they can WITHOUT punishment or consequence. For example if a little kid is on the back of a pony and they jab it in the mouth, the pony might do a small buck or pigroot. In a dressage competition they have been TRAINED to accept spurs, pelhams and other forms of pain. If they don't, they know that it is going to be MORE painful so they must.

Eliya Adler you make me laugh, you can ride almost every horse with spurs when you’re an experienced rider and use them correctly. Horses show their pain trough their eyes and body posture.

I’ll never understand how they make the horses do each little dance ( idk what to call it ) is it something with their legs and the pressure or?

Basically there’s multiple reins coming from the horses mouth and the rider and the horse is taught let’s say when the rider drops a rein they know to do a certain move and if they tug the reins a little tighter they know to do a different one. The rider also may use feet movements where they might tap the horse and use the reins to signal another move. Hope this makes sense lol
