Scottsdale Arabian Horse Show English Show Hack Championship

This video from the Scottsdale Arabian Horse Show 2023 is for the Half Arabian / Anglo Arabian (HA/AA) English Show Hack championship class. This is a cool class complete with tophats and coattails for the riders. And the horses are amazing!
Only the best of the best horses and riders compete in the Scottsdale show which is the biggest Arabian horse show in the world! It's held at Westworld in Scottsdale, Arizona, every February.
I'll be posting many more videos from the Scottsdale Arabian Horse Show (as well as other videos about magnificent horses) in the months ahead, so be sure to subscribe and click the bell icon to be notified when new videos are published.

Fascinating but good choice for the champion and reserve champion 🌹🌟! Much sleeker bodies and smoother movements than the horses that I chose

[@MagnificentHorses]

It’s a tough choice for all of these classes, that’s for sure!

[@michaelmellor9330]

God, those tails. Some of those riders need some lessons on how to sit in the saddle and use their legs properly. Nothing like the way you present a horse in England for a show hack class.

[@MagnificentHorses]

Okay, thanks for sharing that.

[@ameliaelise33]

I see my horse!

[@MagnificentHorses]

Nice! Which one is it?

[@dorothyjacques4396]

I don’t like the extreme arched neck

[@MagnificentHorses]

I love the arched necks. I guess it comes down to personal preference.

[@titadeacon9421]

@@MagnificentHorses No, the 1st vertebra has to be highest and the head angle such that the cheek strap - NOT the profile, is vertical in collection. Otherwise balance and strength are impaired, and the back cannot engage well. Arched with the 3rd high is great for showing off at play!

@@titadeacon9421 OK, thanks for that info!

[@dorothyjacques4396]

I also like the look of arched necks if it is natural. This looked like it was manipulated

[@MagnificentHorses]

@@dorothyjacques4396 yeah, different people have different preferences.
