Scottsdale Arabian Horse Show Opening Day 2022 in 4K!

[@kelleenrossman7781]

Thanks so much for the great commentary. Five of the horses from our barn went to this show, they did pretty good in the western/ ranch horses. I don’t get to see much of their showing because I show a different breed so it was awesome to have a little feel of what I missed when they all leave for 3 and a half weeks. Thank you again.

[@MagnificentHorses]

Thanks so much and that was great to hear! Sorry I didn’t have more western stuff. Probably due to the fact that I ride English.😆 Next year I’ll try to get more western classes.

[@matthewalexander2436]

Awesome, thank you sir, gotta love horses ❤💪❤

[@MagnificentHorses]

Thank you and I'm glad you liked the video! And yes, you got a love horses!

[@debbierushforth7925]

Really beautiful. When does this show take place please. I would love to travel over just to see this

[@MagnificentHorses]

It’s definitely worth traveling to see! It takes place every February, and the next one will be February 16-26, 2023.

@@MagnificentHorses , fantastic. We were planning a visit to USA later in the year , but I am sure I can persuade hubby to change this. Where exactly is Scottsdale , which state

[@MagnificentHorses]

@@debbierushforth7925 Scottsville is in Arizona and is a suburb of Phoenix. So you would normally fly into Phoenix sky Harbor Airport. What country are you from?

You’re welcome, Teri! And thanks for the nice comment!

[@Hi-gq2ux]

Thank you for sharing your video. I can’t wait to see more.

[@MagnificentHorses]

Awesome! Glad you like it.

[@elthompson3585]

Lovely video! For future reference Paint is breed of horse and Pinto is color registration. So the Arab would be called a pinto.

[@MagnificentHorses]

I’m glad you enjoyed the video and thanks for the info regarding the Paint/Pinto situation. I think a lot of people get that mixed up, obviously me included!

[@elthompson3585]

When you own horses it is a never ending lesson for us all. :)

[@MagnificentHorses]

@@elthompson3585 That is for sure!

[@lornadoell]

Things change, but when I had my Arab, supposedly pure Arabs didn't come in pinto, palomino, or dunn, so not sure if those are full Arabs, or not.

[@MagnificentHorses]

@@lornadoell I learn more things by having this channel! A lot of the classes have half Arabians, so I’m guessing that’s what that horse was in.

05:25 Amazing

[@MagnificentHorses]

Yeah I loved that one too! Like I said in the video, I always enjoy going out to the warm-up arena which is where that video was taken.

[@Zadie123]

At 6:10 that is a horse from my barn… it was noble or striker🐴👍🏻

[@MagnificentHorses]

So you mean the lady riding the black horse in the warmup arena, right?

[@Zadie123]

@@MagnificentHorses yes

[@MagnificentHorses]

@@Zadie123 Very cool! You should let her know about it. Just have her do a search for “Magnificent Horses” and my channel will come up.

[@monicadabney8471]

My brothernlaw sold my sisters 2 horses many years ago because he said that they are a money drain. There is no return on them. Of course she was sad but went along. I wonder other than breeding / selling what other kinds of monetary return is there?

[@MagnificentHorses]

It’s pretty tough to not lose money, let alone make money, with horses. I think the only ones that actually make money are the big breeders who had money to begin with.

[@casdragon_5939]

Lessons, training, heck even youtube. Its not difficult to make money with horses if you know how to market

No problem and thanks for saying it so nicely instead of the nasty way so many people make comments these days.

@@MagnificentHorses you are very welcome🤗❤ not everyone who uses them are mean or abusive either.......I just am reminded of a very sweet walker gelding that had his jowels ripped to his jaw joints....a horrific injury and yet, he was so gentle and trusting.....I miss him very much....❤

[@MagnificentHorses]

@@deborahkoller9463 oh man, that sad! I’m sorry to hear it.

[@sheilasmith1109]

The black’s rider needs a better trainer for her riding skills! Many of these riders are giving the SMOOTH gaits of the Arabian horse a bad impression /example to the audience!! Especially in the beginning video! This breed has an ultra smooth level ride! There’s nothing like riding an Arabian! Smooth as silk to ride unless the rider ruins the horses motion!

[@casdragon_5939]

Depends on the gaits. Arabs are built as a trotting breed, not a running breed, so they naturally float and have a bouncier rate than many stock horses. It's easily seen in Western classes. Has literally nothing to do with the trainer and everything to do with basic horse anatomy.

[@barbaralucero2772]

STOP JERKING THEIR HEADS!

[@MagnificentHorses]

Yeah really!

[@Anima181]

6:05 what kind of shit is going on? Why these peoples abuse horses in public?

[@MagnificentHorses]

What on earth are you talking about? At 6:05 it shows a rider warming up a horse in the warmup arena. That’s abuse?

[@annawinters6239]

@@MagnificentHorses I think they were taking about how they had the bridle pulling the Arabians head so close the kneck, without knowing that's just how the Arabians hold their neck up haha

[@allenmillenium6207]

Now the horses that are any different color than brown or white is not a true Arabian! A true Arabian doesn't turn white until it's almost 8 years old! There are no blacks, bays or white stocking Arabians anywhere so I don't know where you're getting the information but it's incorrect! We don't care if the king of Saudi Arabia says they're Arabians they're not unless they have the classic Brown until they're 8 white afterwards! They also have sort of a smashed face look totally different from any other horse breed!!? For instance that horse with the white face is not an Arabian!

[@MagnificentHorses]

I have a book on horse breeds that says Arabians come in gray, bay, black, chestnut, and occasionally roan. However, many of the classes at this show are half Arabians. That’s why you are seeing so many other colors. Good comment though!

[@cynthiajohnston424]

I believe you may be thinking of Lipizzaners which are born dark then turn gray at about 8 - 10 yrs. old . I worked for & showed Arabians for a past president of the A. association - he also bred multiple champions for decades & was a " walking textbook " on the breed & its history . Purebred Arabians have " dished " faces & come in many coat colors & many have striking white markings as well as naturally long flowing manes & tales . Historic equine paintings show all these characteristics as still represented today . Part or half Arabians may be crossed w/ several other breeds such as Thoroughbred ,Quarter Horse , Palomino , Paint , Buckskin , etc. & are registered as such & shown in recognized A. Assoc. classes . An ancient breed w/ a fascinating history & contemporary place in today's horse show world .

[@MagnificentHorses]

@@cynthiajohnston424 thanks for that great info!

[@annamcknight2573]

I suggest you do further research, Alan. I can assure you purebred Arabs come in a variety of coat colours and also with white socks and stockings.

[@MagnificentHorses]

Sorry I just now saw I had not replied to your comment. You are welcome and glad the information was helpful!

[@annamcknight2573]

I am horrified by the amount of knee action shown by these poor Arabs. The breed is meant to float over the ground. Also some of the bits being used are harsh and unnecessary.

[@MagnificentHorses]

That’s fine if your preference is a more natural gait but I’m not sure why it would be horrifying to watch horses picking up their feet more. And a bit is only harsh if too much pressure is applied. Any bit can be harsh in that regard. But if the riders were applying too much pressure the horse would either stop or else buck the rider off.

[@casdragon_5939]

Arabs are a trotting breed, not a running breed so yes, they naturally have higher knee action when in collection

[@allenmillenium6207]

Another thing is no Arabian has a tail that drags the ground. Their tails are relatively short compared to other horses! The ones with long tails have tail extensions! This is something that's very new and frankly unattractive and ridiculous!

[@MagnificentHorses]

The fake tails or extensions are not allowed at this show. They are actually real.

Been many years since I’ve been there! I’m noticing that most of their tails are definitely NOT as FULL AND BEAUTIFUL as in years ago! Why are they almost all skimpy and thread like thin!!!?? Almost ugly how long and thin they are! All the Arabs I’ve owned and shown and stood at stud have had FULL , THICK TAILS! What’s going on? These don’t do justice! Yuck! Disappointing!

[@MagnificentHorses]

These are the best Arabian horses in the world. I'm sorry you're disappointed in them. When I see them I think the exact opposite and how every single one is gorgeous.

[@GarmrK9]

Wow these are gorgeous horses and you have the audacity to talk crap about them. I'd LOVE to see your horses lady so we can RIP them apart regarding their looks. These horses at this show are gorgeous. You'd be lucky to own any of them. Sit down.

[@casdragon_5939]

Arabs aren't known for thick manes and tails; but arab crosses very typically do. You most likely had a half-arabian and didn't know it
