KFPS Friesian Star gelding Marko

First premie Star gelding.

[@mistyandscooby]

This horse is BEAUTIFUL! I can't stop thinking about him. I think I want one! I keep imagining grooming him and trying to be worthy of him! His owner is SO fortunate to have him!

[@suecurran482]

Movements are very natural. Camera trick of slow motion to show the effortless beauty of his stride. How gorgeous!

[@bellabelliboo]

Now THAT's my type of Friesian!! I like the taller, leaner ones and, oh my, is he GORGEOUS!!!

[@Integrity1584]

This horse is stunning!

[@MyFairBenny]

This is beautiful! Great video, great horse, great rider! Amazing job!

[@teatske15]

prachtig paard! geweldige beweging!

[@Theleaghhuhta]

this is totally natural and amazing to ride!!! I've had many that move like him, it's called suspension ladies!

[@unloupdegarou]

this-horse-is- AWESOME!!!

[@Theleaghhuhta]

this is totally natural and amazing to ride!!! I've had many that move like him, it's called suspension ladies! No elastics, no weights either, these boys move just like that naturally, it's one of the many talents some friesians have. They do not all move like this, some are far more suited for dressage and hunter type disciplines. This movement also translate beautifully to the carriage, they also tend to move even bigger in front of the cart.

[@RosesGalore122]

awesome trot! hes jaw dropping for sure!

[@MyHartsMemories]

This horse would be a superstar in saddleseat!

[@lorimusilnm]

Awesome movement!

[@1989ProblemChild]

WOW! smooth sailing!!!

[@Maniamanea]

My guess is that he's being trained with elastic bands and/or weight-boots, like they often to with american saddlebreds to enhance the horse's movements. It doesnt hurt the horse, but the added weight from the boots or the resistance in the elastic rope makes the horse lift its legs higher.

[@stargazer1313]

Magnificent!

[@basmalou]

This is quit normal for frisians. Some throw up the same, or even higher. Beautifull horse, wish that mine would run like that, mine is lazy haha ;-)

[@TheAsbryder]

This may not look natural to some, but he wouldn't be able to do it if it weren't. He's obviously not sored or using any artificial means of achieving that kind of motion. Probably resistance training and exercise, like any human would do in a gym. Excellent horse!!! However, I'm in agreement about the concrete thing... and it looks slick too... very scary. I've seen one of these guys splat on just normal dry concrete. It's enough to make your heart stop.

[@Saartje05]

Oh yes they do, even when free in the field.

[@juicelovesjesus]

tenorbender... I was thinking the SAME THING! :) but beautiful just the same.

[@Saartje05]

It's you, this is how they run, even as a foal. This is a very ancient breed, Knights used to ride them.

[@marybliss99]

Wow... Not much to say. We have Friesians at my barn, to!!!!

[@darkhorsejosh]

thats why he's a premie 1!

[@manudevsharma]

love this

[@kapilshoor]

love it...

[@azizmaraqa]

like a boss !!

[@carolyntongate7429]

Actually I like more shoulder involvement. Front action comes from the knees more than I like.

[@JuicyMenno]

zo wow! echt mooi!(L)

[@TheOnlySilverUnicorn]

He may have a flaw that we can't see in this video. For example, he might have a tiny white star on his forehead. Male Friesians with stars are not permitted to reproduce according to the breed's very strict standards. They are often gelded.

[@christi.godi.915]

enormus.

[@horsebabyhehe]

have you noticed he picks his right foreleg higher than the left? could be a sore left shoulder or sore right hip. not HURT just SORE like a sore muscle after a long workout? just an observation. he's beautiful

[@GoatBlaat]

@horsebabyhehe Some horses can also be more agile on a side than the other? (like that you said that the right foreleg is lifted higher than the left) Sorry if you don't get me ^^;

[@GoatBlaat]

@MatildeBrandt Most of the Friesians have such movements, but not as extreme as this gelding, though xD It's pretty hard to get along with their movements, though. I'm used to 'normal' horses (from equestrian centers) and have ridden several times now on Friesians.. Bloody hell, never again I'll remain sitting with those trots :')

[@YugoQueen]

moet je wel goed kunnen licht rijden natuurlijk....verder prachtig paard!!!

[@GoatBlaat]

@MatildeBrandt Sorry, I didn't know that. Interesting that you know of Leeuwarden, though, but that aside. And they've probably used something to get such movements, yes. I sometimes see on KZbin how different horses like a Tenessee Walker (I guess?) move, naturally and 'trained' o.ô But I agree with you that it isn't very good/natural, the trot the gelding shows here.. And I don't mind your English. Mine could have some mistakes too, since I'm Dutch :')

[@CHEVYedsf]

Ouase at 1:05 for the Goffert 369 pose :)

[@hcmalou]

No way thats to beautiful(L)

[@Prisinka]

Jezus wat kan die draven zeg!!!! Wauwie!

[@tanjexlovex]

@MatildeBrandt That are friesians!

[@dmg_steegmans]

Selective breeding (also called artificial selection and unnatural selection)

[@tenorbender]

A big trot like that on wet pavement...How scarey!!!!

[@DKBlueGirl]

@xpcexhapynesx3 I've never seen one which so high knees before ... But i dont like so big gaits either, it looks un natural - wether it is a friesian or a warmblood. So many horses cant move around in a pasture or under saddel without hurting them self and have to be wraped in diffrent legprotection - just because we have made their gaits to extreme through breeding.

[@andalusianluv]

and why was he gelded?

[@Synna89]

Love this horse! But I don't like the fact he's trotting on tarmac, that's not good for the legs!

[@user-xd5rx3fl9o]

я своего коня не гоняю по асфальту,мне жалко его ноги.

[@Lies_Jojo05]

Why is he a gelding? That is so beutyfull taht i don't know wath to do! He has affectet my abiley to write for eraths sake. T.T

[@SoraCrownofHearts]

reminds me of the famous Godiva horse, but that kind of high steping trot looks very unatural hitting the hoof to the elbow like that. Maybe its just me..

[@Synexin]

@ktzookeeper Because not every pretty stallion deserves to reproduce.

[@Lugimoo]

that doesn't look like a normal trot. Is it gaited movment? Im...baffled. XD But in a good way.

[@ktzookeeper]

dear god why was he gelded??!!!!

[@paguletz]

magnificent horse, but stop doing this to your horses. concrete is not the best friend for their feet and ligaments

[@LambertsLabelle]

poor horseback..with this bouncy thing upstairs...poor riders butt also!

[@SHELLMADDE]

how stupid to gait him on a hard concrete surface. Did the owner just fall off a turnip truck? Ever heard of ringbone? Splints? ect ect.

[@georgebaker8577]

Beautiful horse. Awful music!

[@DKBlueGirl]

Looks so unnatural.
