Arabian VS Quarter horse ~ Who is FASTER? 🌬️

[@tamarafarnsworth5049]

I don't know what it is about you, CC and your fabulous horses, but your channel attracts those of us who aren't "horse people" at least as much as those who are. I see it in the comments over and over. Perhaps it's because you are so warm and welcoming and we don't feel like we don't belong. Or perhaps it is because we see how much hard work goes into treating these magnificent (yes, even Nigel) creatures right, and it justifies our lack of commitment to "owning" one!😜 Regardless, thanks!

[@erikhoffa966]

Deep inside i am.

[@Anileux]

I think it's because she shows us horses like any other pet and not as a money source, problem source and an elite, expensive sport/hobby. And she makes her videos like we are a part of her life, of her horses life and not just for entertainment, it's immersive and real.

[@nicem8746]

For me it’s the calm demeanor and speaking voice. The intelligence and dedication, the multiple skills this young lady has and shares so eloquently but at the same time down to earth like she would be a great stand in for a sister.

[@TheZombieButler]

I just like watching masters of their craft. I also watch a terrarium builder and a mechanic. There is a shine to people doing what they are supposed to be doing in this life that I feel privileged to watch. Thanks CC.

[@Hislittlelamb]

When I was married, with 2 young children in my late 20’s my husband & I bought a home on 1/2 acre horse property with a paddock & lean to shed. Neighbors on all sides had horses and across the street was a Quarter Horse mini-ranch with hot walkers, training rings, arena (with bleachers), & an 8 stall barn w-turnout and pastures. When I met my husband he had horses, but sold his horse and the property he owned with his ex before we began dating. I’ve always really wanted to have my own horses until as a young mom with an 18 month old baby and 3 year toddler I moved into horse territory. It didn’t matter what time I woke up in the morning they were already out with the horses doing something or the other and no matter how late at night the lights in the barn would sometimes be on and I could see activity. I just couldn’t conceive of taking on that responsibility on top of having such young children, finally able to sleep through the night after years of interrupted sleep I chose to put it off until they were older & could be my helpers rather than feeling like I was endangering them from horror stories my ex liked to tell. We divorced shorter after buying the home and although I kept the home as a single mother I couldn’t afford to provide for a horse, or even the cost of training my kids how to ride at the facility right across the street. I was paying my bills by cut-off notice. I’ve had a lot of admiration and respect for horse people ever since. They’re like the mom’s of the horse world, up and available all hours of the day & night, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. Having a horse is like having a child (actually a string of children) in the degree of responsibility for safety, training, housing, proper nourishment, exercise, Ferrier & Veterinarian (who are themselves a special breed) expense involved. Sometimes lacking in ‘people skills’ these are people who would sell a kidney to rescue or save a horse. Their horses are more important than anyone or anything and the sooner you accept that the happier you’ll all be. I’m exaggerating of course. I’m quoting the lyrics of a song exaggerating the stereotype, but it’s funny to the extent it hits home as true. I’ve never given up my dream of learning to ride, having a Ono-on-one relationship with a horse of my own I can responsibly care for in a healthy environment.

In my opinion, there is nothing so beautiful as an Arabian. Their trot is so floaty and when they run, flag their tail and snake their head it is just breath taking. I know you never intended to keep Ziggy but I think you would enjoy riding him so much. They are built for endurance but they also have speed.

[@janey1098]

Yes, it is! I hope she sticks to her planned price, though. 4-5k for a well seasoned, thoroughly “checked out”, good natured, no trouble, sound and handsome horse with a video record like this is getting a good deal, even at 18. Plus, they know they’re supporting a great cause. She’ll be able to put money back for future plans, assorted maintenance and emergencies. She’s very reasonable with her methods, explanations, and deserves the monetary support!

A Quarter horse can outrun an Arabian on the quarter mile , but not on a distance .... Arabians are bred to gallop long distances and they have the lighter build and stamina to do it .

Arabians have more stamina and can run long distances, their lungs are larger, while quarter horses are for short distance. I couldn't get rid of Ziggy, I think he's a keeper, forever.

[@dfayeart]

Yep absolutely you nailed it. So many people claim Arabians can be beaten at endurance when it's just simply untrue. (Owned an Arabian for 10 years).

[@Hayson898]

I know it probably won't happen but I would love to see Ziggy and Pete run around together given Pete's genetics. There are going to be so many people in the comments telling you to keep Ziggy, but it's clear that he's a trail horse and needs a human who can spend more time with him and take him out more than you can. It's awesome to see and hear about how Pete and Goose are coming out of their shells, while ol' Nigel is still his grumpy self.

[@catherineniew7457]

It can be sad to see a horse leave a good person, but that person HAS to make the best decision for the horse and themselves, I think. Respect CC’s decisions for herself and the horses!! She is a great horsewoman .. these videos show that!! 💕👏👏🐴❤️

[@juanitatrujillo7318]

I want her to keep Ziggy because watching him makes me so happy. Selfish I know

[@brassbuckles]

I think CC will do what's best for Ziggy. If it turns out that some health or behavior issue shows up over winter that means he might be difficult for someone else to keep or care for, she'll probably keep him. She might also find he bonds with a particular horse she has that needs his companionship or have some other reason to change her mind. But as long as things are going well for him, she will most likely find him a great new home with someone who will spend lots of time with him until he's finally ready to retire. Therefore, rather than being upset that he might be gone from the herd, we should be happy for him. Maybe a viewer will even be the one to buy him (won't be me because I couldn't afford it right now and I'd feel like I'd be too heavy for him!), or maybe it'll be someone new to horse ownership who will start their own KZbin channel starring their journey with Ziggy. You never know!

Quarters are lighting for a quarter mile, while Arabs are speedsters for many miles past the quarter. From experience.

[@nicem8746]

Yes short stocky muscles vs long leaner muscles.

[@janedeclarico5920]

They make great endurance horses.

[@JiveDadson]

The quarter horse's acceleration from a standing start is astonishing. From experience.

[@brassbuckles]

I used to argue that over a long distance, an Arabian would even beat a thoroughbred. There are some horses, like specific criollo lines, the Mongolian horses, and a few other rare lineages that don't tend to leave their regions, that might outrun an Arabian over a distance, but not many. That's what Arabians are bred for. But over a shorter distance, the thoroughbred is going to outrun the Arabian every time because of its sheer speed. Some might outpace the Arabian over several miles, and some exceptional thoroughbreds might outspeed it so much that even though they can't run for as long, the thoroughbred could potentially still win that long race, depending on just how long that race is (i.e. 5-10 miles). And despite me saying the idea would be a race of, say, 50-100 miles, people would still tell me that there's no way an Arabian would beat a thoroughbred at that distance. But a well-bred and well-trained Arabian probably would, because even though thoroughbreds can have decent endurance, they are definitely built more for sprints than marathons. The thoroughbred would want to sprint, and even if it was held back it would still tire and have to stop or slow down before the Arabian would--and that's with neither of them doing more than maybe a slow canter, since we're discussing a long race. Over the quarter mile, the quarter horse is supposed to be about the fastest horse there is, probably due to more fast-twitch muscles. But I'm not sure if they're as fast as they used to be when the breed began, because speed isn't really what they're bred for anymore. The performance lines and working/casual riding lines are different, and I think there might even be a specific short-distance racing line too--though I haven't heard much about them because thoroughbred racing is obviously bigger. They've been crossed with other breeds multiple times and the vast majority of quarter horses tend to be trail animals, not really used for ranch work, racing, performance, or shows.

[@kimkearney5419]

Well. An Arab is a "light horse". Quarters and Thoroughbreds are medium horses. Draft breeds are large horses. That said, a Thoroughbred will take an Arabian long distance. Since I breed AQHA 16 hand Quarters, they are faster than just a "Quarter mile". Mine will take an Arabian. Because an Arabian is a light horse. I have had a flea-bitten gray Arabian. When you are on one, it makes you think they are fast, until a Quarter and Thoroughbred pass them do you realize who are truly fast. A Thoroughbred can beat a Quarter and, believe me, an Arabian long distance.

Remember, if CC finds Ziggy another home, she will have room to rescue another horse in need. Not everyone has the skills to do that and there are a lot of horses in need. ❤ I’m sure CC will find the best possible home for him.

[@brassbuckles]

I would not judge her if she does decide, due to his age, an attachment to him, his attachment to other horses, or some unexpected health or behavior factor we haven't seen yet, to keep him. I know she thinks that would be selfish because she's capable of handling horses with more intensive needs, but I think it's fine if she has one or two she can just hop on and ride without having too much worry. Everybody deserves a break from hard work and challenges sometimes, even the people who genuinely enjoy it. But it's also fine if she sells him on because she'll do her best to find him an excellent home. Like you say, that means she'll have space to rescue or train another horse that needs it. And if she finds a new property the size she is hoping for, she will be able to care for even more horses. Not sure how many acres her current property is, but I am fairly sure it's not the 40+ acres she's hoping to find in the near future. And I'm also not quite sure how many acres you need per horse where she lives. Around here, it's generally an acre, but even if you are generous and allot two acres per horse, that's 20 or more horses she could care for on 40 acres--and she currently has "only" 13 (which is probably more than I could take care of myself, and I know this just from watching her work! I could probably handle 2-3! CC is a very impressive person!).

She did a good job once she figured out I wasn't going to get her hurt- decided to trust I would watch out for her in a strange environment. She came to me as a "wash out" from a show facility. Once you get the trust of an Arab you have quite a partner. She is going to be a really good trail horse.

Chuckle, Ziggy has no bottom to his endurance. They are the most doing horses out there. It takes a different style of riding with them to know when to ask them to stop. Because they will keep going even when exhausted. They were designed to cover 100 miles in the desert to go to battle and then carry thier owners home. I hope you try endurance with him or long trails. You will enjoy it so much..So will he❤ They move to a different beat and it's fun...

[@lisas6450]

😊❤ Hi CC! 😅 I really loved watching the 3 horses run and play!! And the Quarter Horses might be faster at the sprint, but Arabians are built for endurance and speed over longer distances. They don't call Arabians 'Drinkers of the Wind' for nothing!! Many people don't realize that Arabians are the original race horses! 😉 In other countries a stallion must prove himself first on the racetrack and then in halter/conformation classes before they are deemed good enough to breed. 😊 But those little Quarter horses have the quick maneuvers down pat! I think Studman has great potential for actually being a working cow horse!! All your babies are awesome!! 😊❤❤

I enjoyed watching them running around while having my morning coffee. I've always loved watching them move.

I love the way Studman moves he would make a good cutting horse

As a teenager my friend had two Arabians. They were so much fun to ride because of their energy and endurance! Again all your horses look so happy and healthy. I hope you keep Ziggy!

Wow! Studman is looking sharp and love seeing him play! Not so much “dad bod” any longer.

So great to see Ziggy connecting to Gus and Studman. Also nice to see each of them long enough to be able to identify them better (I actually took screenshots of all the horses when you put their names on the screen. It helped but I like it if you do that a little more often so I can KNOW each of your horses better.) PS. Like so many of us on this KZbin thing, I don’t know a thing about horses. I never dreamed that they would require the level of work that you have to do. Your labor of love.

May sound silly.... I love horses that run with their tails held high. They look so regal 🤗

So gorgeous, even with the stormy weather. It’s so great to see the horses running! Thanks for today’s video.
