My Grandfather ran a 300 acre produce farm in Essex UK in the early 1960's, he had no tractors just working horses of which I recall Shire. Suffolk Punch and Clydesdale. To a 5 year old these horses were absolute giants. Very calm whilst being worked but when let loose back into their paddocks, they would gallop and roll like 2 year olds. The ground used to shake when they played
I would say that was a blessing, to be around such majestic creatures.... My first experience was to stand next to my Dads first mistake, Dolly, a beautiful Morgan Mare, she was easily 15 -16 Hands, had beautiful Colts more often than Fillies, took many blue ribbons in many rodeos, in Roping, single and Team, and he just let some clown gain all of her best years, and then some 14 years later, she was returned to us, and I got 1 Awesome colt from her, mixed with a 1/4 that would outdo almost every other horse in the whole of three counties.... It's a life I miss almost daily....
I'll bet those gorgeous critters were super-gentle with you, since you were raised to respect them instead of treating them like warm, hairy machinery.
@haplessasshole Sir: You are ever so correct about your supposition. I had an Arabian stallion that had killed 3 so-called "trainers" (obviously not in the insanely radically politically correct America, but who, after I brought him here, was the most loving, gentle, incredibly intelligent horse imaginable. I seriously wanted to die when I lost him.
A Belgian on Mackinaw Island stuck it's gigantic head in our daughter's stroller with the cover all the way forward. I expected to hear her screaming bloody murder. When nothing happened, I looked in to see our 9 month old and that enormous horse just looking calmly at one another. They're amazingly sweet and gentle creatures. They can even put someone as highstrung as our baby at peace...and she was NOT naturally a calm baby...AT ALL 😁.
I have always wanted a horse, an Arabian to be exact. Unfortunately I never got the chance. I do know how to ride though. I have ridden horses since the age of 3. Everywhere we moved we found a place where I could ride. It only cost us $7.00 an hour, but as the years came and went, the price kept going up to the point where it was $14.00 for 15 mins. Many years later I found out about a place that needed volunteers to help with abused and neglected horses. I signed up and was accepted to help in the barn since I had some experience with horses. They noticed that I had a way with even the most troubled horses. They seemed to calm down whenever I would talk to them and stroke their heads on down to their noses. Soon they allowed me to brush them and lead the horses to the fields where they would spend the day in the warm Florida sun. Some of the horses were adopted after intense, but kind and gental retraining. Others were perment residents. Equine Recuse and Adoption Foundation aka ERAF was a wonderful place to be for a 35 year old woman that loved horses since the age of 3. I will never forget the year and a half that I spent helping with those beautiful animals. I saw some come in in terrible shape. Mainly as skin and bones with sores all over them due to the owners lack of knowledge of how to take care of them. One was a race horse that had a back injury and he stayed permanently at the barn while others were finally getting healthy enough to be adopted and go to their new Forever Home. To see the change from sickly to the beautiful creatures they were born to be in just a year and a half was amazing. I felt truly blessed that I got to see the changes and spend time with those wonderful horses.
My favorite breed is the Fresian. They are absolutely beautiful with their long mane and feathered legs. I do have a soft spot for Belgians though. My grandpa had an old Belgian horse named Joe that all of us kids would ride when we visited. Never used a saddle or bridle, just a lead rope. He would walk around through the field with about 3 of us piled up on his back. He loved all the attention the little ones gave him. Best memories ever.❤
Haven't watched it to the end yet, but that's like Friesian, lol, named after Friesland (province in the Netherlands). When I was a teenager, I fantasized about moving to Norway and breeding Fjords, having a horse farm there. I also liked Appaloosas back then. And Palominos.
For myself, as an American, there is nothing as beautiful than seeing a wild herd of Native horses galloping across the landscape. The mix of colors and markings is beautiful with a backdrop of green grass, desert sands or woodlands. Before jumping in about my use of the word "Native" please read my follow-up replies on what I meant by using the word. I know they are descended from multiple horse breeds brought from Europe centuries ago, over 500yrs.
So beautiful!! Are you involved with or do you support any of the wild horse preservation groups? I'm sure you know that support is desperately needed right now.
I was adopted by a wild mustang (originally from Elko Valley, Nevada) in August of 1995, no one knew at the time (except her and me😉, lucky guess) that she was in foal to another wild stallion I gave the baby to my Dad (he blackmailed me by threatening to tell my MOM I had her🤗. As with all MOMs she already knew.). I laid Rena downed in the Spring of 2017. She was a joy and best friend with my SoulHorse Daelite until I laid her down in 2014. I called Rena my little Shoshone pony because of where she was from.
Unfortunately the wild horses are being rounded up by the very agency tasked with protecting them, the BLM. Soon there will be nothing but geldings and mares on birth control. As they round up more and more the gene pool is shrinking. The BLM needs to be completely restructured, and all present employees fired. The US Forest Service is also involved. These horses, contrary to popular belief, encouraged by the BLM, have been in North America since the last ice age. The ranchers and others call them feral. Not true!! They sell them off to the kill buyers who ship them to Mexico and Canada for slaughter. Please call your legislators and beg them to pass The Safe Act or any other version of it to stop rounding up our horses and burros for dinner plates mostly in China and Japan. The foals are sold only in the finest Asian restaurants. Please we need this to stop or soon the only place to see them will be on video, or in books.
Have had 2 of these amazing beauties. My first one loved to pose for pictures. Best horse I ever had. I was with her when she died of old age at 34. She was my best friend.
Thank you for being sensitive to the native Americans. I agree with what you’re saying. What a beautiful compilation of horse breeds that you presented here. You have taught me so much.
I've loved horses my entire life. My parents said I drew a picture of a horse when I was six and told them that it was my horse. When we returned to the USA from Germany my dad bought a horse for me and I took English riding lessons. Later I enjoyed western style riding on endurance trails and pleasure riding. I even had friends who went to rodeos and I rode a barrel racer once. Very exciting. I miss riding and being around the stables. I had a wonderful active youth and have lovely memories. I wish I could still ride. After watching this presentation it would be hard to pick which horse I want. ❤️
I have ridden for over 60 years and I thoroughly enjoyed your commentary on horses. I don’t think many people ride today and that’s such a shame. I worked in special Ed and horses were one of the animals that children absolutely loved and dealt with the best
it's probably the most expensive sport /lifestyle. Most people simply can't afford it. I always dreamt about owning a horse, and rode a little in my home country where it was much cheaper, but since a horse stopped being a necessity, it just became a luxury. It is a shame, I have seen horses help children and adults with mental conditions, trauma, and other medical issues by just being there, and because one must be calm for a horse to be calm, this peace of mind and focus on what is happening then and there has a very powerful healing effect.
My family here in Queensland Australia, for many generations of dairy farmers. My mum at the age of 5, would ride her full size horse to school every day, eventually so did her younger siblings. Yes I use to ride one of our horses, a large palomino named "Mingo" . A very gentle loving horse. ❤
I grew up on a farm but rarely rode horses. My dad considered them only as working animals and not for pleasure. I started riding as an adult and I still love to be near horses. I was able to be near my first Clydesdale at a summer fair but the owner didn't permit us to be close enough to touch and I really wanted to hug one of them. They are so magnificent.
My dad wrote a book about his horse, an appaloosa, and their many adventures together. Skippy was his name, he was the smartest horse I've ever known, and we've had some good ones. Once you have horses, it's hard not to have them, emotionally.
I really enjoyed you posting of all the varieties of horses; their blood lines, and how they became into existence. My favorite horse is the Clydesdale. They are so majestic and have a beautiful presence and trot. I love their big manes and long bushy tales. I love seeing their hooves with their fur bouncing around when they are trotting. The Clydesdale’s pose and demeanor makes them look like royalty to me. I love watching the Budweiser Clydesdales do their performances. (I do not drink alcohol, but I do love those beautiful creatures God made.) I really want to see them in person one day. Hopefully, I will before my health gets worse. I am 5’5”, and this Clydesdale still towered way over me. I saw this Clydesdale at a Fall Harvest on Farm. This farmer had a variety of animals on loan. A Giraffe, Zedonk (cross between a zebra and a donkey.) Alpacas, spotted deer (full grown deer 20 years old), a Bull from Africa that had a 7 foot spread of horns. (Diameter at base of horse At skull wash 12.5 inches in diameter.) The little steer, his sire/calf, in the area with him, he is only 9 months old and his horns were 3 feet long and and 3 inches in diameter at the base of the skull. You could feed the calf from your hand. The Dad just sat there and was like, “I ain’t getting up for no one. Feed my son.” The chickens and ducks and birds would follow the patrons around and pick up any corn and seeds that dropped to the ground. I think the one I got to see at his front top shoulder was seven feet not including his head raised up. I don’t know if the head is counted in his height or it is clearance over the horse’s neck and shoulders. Why would you not count every part of the animal? Don’t let that centipede crawl in your ear and eat your brain 🧠 cells for. Do you have many brain cells? 😂 Merry Christmas & Happy New Year
We had a Dartmoor pony that was passed down from my older siblings to me. I wonder if they became extinct. In the 1980’s I had. Suffolk Punch stud who was especially charming because he was smaller on account of being a twin.
I have been fortunate enough to have had a horse since I was fifteen. My first a 3 year old Mustang from California. Then a second was an Appy-she was beautiful. Then a quarter horse that loved people, we rode in Parades together until he passed at 30. Now I have another quarter horse, a ranch horse that knows more about cows then I do. We liked trail ridding all the time but now he is retired at 29 and is the perfect yard ornament in my front yard, we talk to each other often during the day and we still play together sometimes, I wouldn't have it any other way. They are beautiful creatures. Now you have my curiosity up about the Canadian Horse ???
I've always loved horses. My Dad raised and raced Standard Bred so we were not permitted to ride them. After I married and left home, he finally relented and rescued a Shetland pony for my brothers. I eventually went to riding stables to get my fix. Thanks for this history and information. Truly beautiful and graceful creatures that have befriended and helped humans countlessly over the centuries.
Cleveland Bays are a lovely horse that was 'saved' by Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth 11. There were only 4 stallions left and she purchased one. Built up her own stock and then loaned the stallion to the public. They are still in the Royal Mews and are often seen on State occasions . Shires are a favourite
I have a 12 Yr old Friesian, got Loki age 2 trained to ride and drive. I've had lots of x breeds all nice horses but this 16.2 horse is so different. He's really gentle, intelligent, funny and he seems so different to any horse I've ever owned. I presume most of these purebred have their own very special temperaments.
I've always loved an Arabian Horse. The angles of the head and face and the graceful bow of the neck catch my breath every time. I have riding experience. Though much more in my younger days. I rode a Quarter Horse and a Thoroughbred.
When I was a girl, I had a half paint, half Appaloosa wild mustang from Wyoming. our family rescued him from a bad situation. Diablo was his name. He hadn’t been treated well, and it was very wild when we got him, but with love and attention (lots of treats and grooming too) he turned into a great horse. He also had one blue eye. His personality was as unique as his looks. Followed me around just like a big old Doggo I will remember fondly my time with this one of my best animal friends always and forever ✨💙✨
To KayMay: I also have always loved and respected horses, all breeds. Never got one of my own, but I did get the opportunity to work on a ranch taking care of 36 Morgan horses. What a beautiful experience it was. Such a privilege to be around those precious babies. I could write a book here about it, but suffice it to say that it was the most enriching chapter of my life. One mare in particular, a seal brown Morgan carriage horse, use to join up with me whenever I was in her enclosure. I would pretend I was too busy to notice, and she delighted in coming up behind me and gently draping her head over my shoulder. Her presence, her sweet disposition and her nearness comforted me and a calmness would come over me. I 💕 loved her so much. I would speak softly to her and stroke her. I miss that more than I can express. Once, early in the morning, I woke up and hurried out to the barn. One of our Mares was due; and sure enough, there in the morning light on the hay was a beautiful foal, just minutes old. Oh, I was overcome with emotions as I crept into the stall, softly telling the mare what a beautiful baby she'd had and what a good mamma she was. This was her first foal. Finally I sat down in the hay and stroked the baby's nose and spoke to him. Mine was the first human voice he heard. I treasure these memories.
Sir, thank you for this grand effort! I enjoyed the video. Learned some interesting facts about breeds I know nothing about. I owned horses for thirty years. I so wish I could ride again! So miss it. Love the gaited saddle horses. Thank you, again.
NO lies... I've been to *Topsfield Fair...* and I see literally Massive, HUMONGOUS-Horses in person! Actual, REAL giant breathing-horses that are like kinda, almost *"Prehistoric" HUGE.*
I love horses.This was an excellent portrayal.They are majestic,magnificent and beutiful. Best thing of all,they like us back as well. Happy Christmas everyone.
I used to be afraid of horses...they were so big, and they snorted and sometimes stamped their hooves. They didn't seem to want to be bothered by me. But one day a friend to me along to her stable. I was so surprised when her two horses came right up to me and stuck their heads over the stable door. They seemed to be asking to be talked to and petted. So I did! I was delighted. They were gentle andfriendly and affectionate and loved my stroking of their noses. I was actually sad to leave them there all penned in. I still have no desire to ride a horse, but not out of fear. I just prefer to see them running free on a farm or field. Our whole civilization owes a LOT to horses. It's a huge debt we can only begin to repay through conservation, love and humane treatment.
In Denmark, during the tourist season in Copenhagen, the Tuborg Brewery uses heavy horses to pull carts with beer to restaurants in the Center. After their working life they are allowed an otium on a large farm. And a few farmers still uses heavy horses for plowing fields, also as a competition, on selected fields. And in woods, pulling timber, a horse is much more gentle on the land.
I was surprised to see so many breeds that I’ve known for almost 80 years. I started riding when I was 4 years old on a stubborn brute, half Shetland, half trotting breed. Maybe he was a combination of two bad examples of their breeds. I was 15 before I was able to progress onto a ‘decent’ horse, but from then on, I was hooked on the noble breed. I’m 84 now, too old to contemplate riding, but I DID have a short ride on my 75th birthday. Oh if only I could turn back the clock.
did your "Shet" present itself IN THE KITCHEN to eat off the counter?????Our "Windy" (Shet-Welsh) did ...& if you said " what are you doing in here"" she'd just " grufff" @ ya & keep on eating !!!!God I loved her !!!!!!& he "brother (Tenn Wlak) "Frankie" !!!!
I strongly disagree with you about being too old! While I am still a young-un at only 82 years, my beloved wife/life and I go for extended pack trips far back into the wilds of the Rockies from our small ranch in Wyoming. I also started riding rather young at 3 years as did my daughter and son. I found that ponies generally tend to be nasty little bastards as they can too easily over power small children. I brought truly highest level Arabian horses from Lebanon during their (endless) civil war in the mid 1960's to early 1980's. These horses, so feared by the pseudo-intelligent would walk all twisted to prevent a child from falling off. Truly incredibly intelligent horses.
They’re amazing horses, no horse can be imported to Iceland at all. The law has been in place since the 8th century in order to stop crossbreeding. Luckily they can be exported and we are starting to build a good size population here in Australia. There is always some selective breeding going on, especially if a new mare/stallion is imported. They can be 5 gaited, with a pace and a tölt. The Mongolian horse and the Icelandic horse are genetically linked and are considered to be one of the oldest, and one of the purest breeds of horse. Despite their little size, they can easily carry a full grown man, and do it in style! Honestly, once you meet one, you’ll never go back
The Appaloosa horses you mentioned were used by The Nez Perce Indians. It came out as Nez Paris in the subtitles. I grew up in Nez Perce County in Lewiston, Idaho. I know sometimes the computers can't correctly understand what or how someone says a word. Granted some people don't know how to pronounce certain words & even I screw up pronunciations After I do someone let's me know how to pronounce it correctly I, ever forget the correct pronunciations.
Nez Perce was a French description of one person found in that tribe. The tribe refers to themselves as Nimíipuu. They did not create holes in their noses. I do not know how to pronounce that.
Yes I've ridden horses. I would like to ride again. We started with a half Shetland and half Indian pony. When we were small all 4 of us rode her at once. Grandpa had a gray dappled draft type horse. After he passed of old age, grandpa got a quarter horse. It was so well trained to cut calves out of a herd of cows that it would take off after jack rabbits. So you had to pay attention when riding him
My favorite horse is the Australian Brumby. There are still many of them running wild in The Snowy Mountains in Australia. They have many stories and poems written about them, one of the most popular being Banjo Patterson's 'The Man from Snowy River'. Unfortunately I haven't been in a position to ride much myself.
Great video. I think I could ride before I could walk. My dad would never let us ride with a saddle. He was always scared we would get our foot caught in the stirrup.
@@stupiddems9422 they didn't pull the breeds' info out of a hat. They had to research them in order to post them here. I've been around horses for about 60 years, so I know something about horse breeds, and this video gives at least some insight to beginners.
Friesian! I have seen, hugged and rode a lot of different horses, not all full-breed but many were and once you met and had a ride on a Friesian you are hooked. They are gentle, kind, smart, handsome , witty and it feels like the horse is dancing!
We had Palomino first then when my sister got to big for him he was traded in. We then we had a half American Quarter horse and Appaloosa mix. He was chestnut with a white patch with spots on his but. I love all horses so it's hard to say just one.
My VERY favorite is the Palomino--- Even though it's NOT a BREED, But a COLOR. I'm rather partial to Thoroughbreds--- I ABSOLUTELY LOVE the tall horses! Sixteen hands or taller is my ideal!
I would really love it if you put more horses up here my mom was a horse lover she grew up on a ranch she loved horses my mom passed away back in October God bless her beautiful soul these animals are so beautiful
Absolutely love this video, and the horses too. My favorite is the Palomino. Then followed by various breeds of black horses and the Appaloosa. I'm so glad there are people who are out there saving the breeds and their history.
Palomino is a color, not a breed. As is Black. Most breeds carry the gene to be palomino or black. My friend has a pure bred appaloosa that is palomino. Not a spot on her.
Have you ever researched the Narragansett Pacer from Rhode Island. My great or great great grandfather used to race them. Apparently their gait was so smooth and comfortable that plantation owners on the southern islands purchased most of them and the breed ended up dying out
My horse is a cross between an Arabian horse and an Irish cob! She has the multicolour coat and the chillness of the Irish cob but the speed and endurance of the Arabian horse. 🥰
Thanks this was excellent- I had 2 horses growing up in Australia- I knew of some of these breeds but enjoyed learning about the others. My first pony was a Welsh Mountain pony crossed with Arab with colour known as a ‘Grey’ which is actually ‘white’ I had hoped you would mention the Australian Whalers used in North Africa during 2nd world war & for the courageous liberation of Jerusalem. They’re called Whalers because the majority came from New South Wales. They are tough, resilient, strong & intelligent. Anyways I did enjoy your video 👍
Didn't realize I would be so enamored with stories of horses, but the info given us here by a most pleasant and interesting narration, that I fell in love 😘 Thank you!
I love the beauty & elegance of the Arabian breed, but there is no way I could afford to take care of one. I've become very fond of the Freisian breed of horse. I applaud all people involved with the continual time & care of the different breeds of horses around the world, especially those involved in the care of abused & abandoned horses.
Fjord horse 🐎 because I used to ride one. He was sneaky and funny too. But I had to keep an eye out, when grooming him or he would try and bite me. Still it was great to ride him in the forest in Norway.
Yes even @ 81 I CAN STILL RIDE....My horse "Frankie " was a 17hnds Tenn Walker.. He lived to 32 His "sister" was a Shetlnd-Welsch she lived to 33...THEY WERE INSEPERABLE !! my GrndD inherited the horse LOVE & now has a working horse ranch in OK, We had a herd of Span. wild horses frm 1500---2000 on an ilsand here near where I lived BUT the .......people...started moving onto the island & WANTED them gone so now they are !!!!!!!!
Wonderful video!!! Lovely horses!! The American Cream Draft stands out from the other draft horses - I think it is the only one that does not have all that hair around the feet [save a LOT of time in grooming].
they are also known to be veryy calm 😌also the horse literally bucking 20:46 no hate whatsoever and i learned lots of amazing breeds, i just found it funny
My first pony was a Shetland and my second was a Gallicanism Pony! She was the absolute Best Pony! She was gentle, kind, and loved to jump(after I taught her)! She was also a good cow pony! She lived a long life! I rode my Dad’s Quarter Horse but my Gallicanio was by far the best all around horse!
These horses don’t have anything special about them, but I do love you mentioned them. My personal face are the friesians- beautiful jet black coat and long curly manes!😍
Thoroughly enjoyed this video. I have ridden since I was a young girl. I love horses. I am 74 now so haven’t ridden lately but never say never. If I get the opportunity I just might!
Always wanted a horse. Now I live where I can have one. 4 L5 back surgeries is holding me back now. Plus being 74 in February doesn't help. ALL AWESOME LOOKING
I was only a kid when I had my Palamino pony King. He was fast but cheeky lol. He found it funny knocking over buckets or water. I could never get him to stop it. My first Horse was a Beautiful Chestnut Irish Thoroughbred of 16hnds. She was a brilliant jumper an a great hunter. She had a set of twins who had similar makings to mom. Not that any of us knew 2 goals would pop out lol. I called them Thunder & Lightning. Due to how they zoomed around the paddock or the arena stamping in unison. I had my girl all her life. Her nutty sons got new owners. My friends. When they were 2yr olds. I've also had an American Mustang I bought after a government round up. He got a great life in UK. An humped my neighbours mare. So they got his cute foal lol. Now I've a Freshian Stallion named Diablo. He's kinda mean. But I like that about him. Apart from his lead lined stable. As he has Demolished his wooden stable. An the brick one. Now it's 2 layers of brick thick. With metal in between them. It's a custom build due to his temper lol. Yet when he jumps it's like flying. With me atop crapping myself he jumped over my uncle's Range Rover for no reason but to show off as a new mare was dropped off. He might outlive me as he way younger than me lol. God help those who have to look after him. He lives up to his name.
My Grandfather ran a 300 acre produce farm in Essex UK in the early 1960's, he had no tractors just working horses of which I recall Shire. Suffolk Punch and Clydesdale. To a 5 year old these horses were absolute giants. Very calm whilst being worked but when let loose back into their paddocks, they would gallop and roll like 2 year olds. The ground used to shake when they played
I would say that was a blessing, to be around such majestic creatures....
My first experience was to stand next to my Dads first mistake, Dolly, a beautiful Morgan Mare, she was easily 15 -16 Hands, had beautiful Colts more often than Fillies, took many blue ribbons in many rodeos, in Roping, single and Team, and he just let some clown gain all of her best years, and then some 14 years later, she was returned to us, and I got 1 Awesome colt from her, mixed with a 1/4 that would outdo almost every other horse in the whole of three counties....
It's a life I miss almost daily....
What fun memories
I'll bet those gorgeous critters were super-gentle with you, since you were raised to respect them instead of treating them like warm, hairy machinery.

I have an empty barn .... some extra money .... just don't want to do any of the work!
My favorite breed is the Fresian. They are absolutely beautiful with their long mane and feathered legs.
I do have a soft spot for Belgians though. My grandpa had an old Belgian horse named Joe that all of us kids would ride when we visited. Never used a saddle or bridle, just a lead rope. He would walk around through the field with about 3 of us piled up on his back. He loved all the attention the little ones gave him. Best memories ever.❤
Same fresians are an amazing type of horse with their long silky hair and plus I love the white fresians

Kat, then you need to watch Ladyhawke. Trust me.
I love friesian horses they are the best in the world ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🌎🌎🌎🌎
@@Deejaay83urj38 friesian horse is in ladyhawk
Gypsy is one of my favorites.
They are so beautiful.
I love Indian ponies too.
This is a very smart, strong horse.
You have to love them

I can almost see what you are explaining
So beautiful!! Are you involved with or do you support any of the wild horse preservation groups? I'm sure you know that support is desperately needed right now.
Use to live in Nevada desert & if u were lucky, there would be a wild heard of horses
I was adopted by a wild mustang (originally from Elko Valley, Nevada) in August of 1995, no one knew at the time (except her and me😉, lucky guess) that she was in foal to another wild stallion I gave the baby to my Dad (he blackmailed me by threatening to tell my MOM I had her🤗.

I have had 3 Appaloosas and they are so beautiful, smart, good with kids. Love these beautiful creatures
also sneaky, had one that would fake a limp every time she saw a saddle, and one that learned how to open gates.
Have had 2 of these amazing beauties. My first one loved to pose for pictures. Best horse I ever had. I was with her when she died of old age at 34. She was my best friend.
Thank you for being sensitive to the native Americans. I agree with what you’re saying. What a beautiful compilation of horse breeds that you presented here. You have taught me so much.
Born only once in 1000, years yet there are hundreds alive today. They must live forever.
I did not know how much I love horses .
Thank you .
I've loved horses my entire life. My parents said I drew a picture of a horse when I was six and told them that it was my horse. When we returned to the USA from Germany my dad bought a horse for me and I took English riding lessons. Later I enjoyed western style riding on endurance trails and pleasure riding. I even had friends who went to rodeos and I rode a barrel racer once. Very exciting. I miss riding and being around the stables. I had a wonderful active youth and have lovely memories. I wish I could still ride. After watching this presentation it would be hard to pick which horse I want. ❤️
I have ridden for over 60 years and I thoroughly enjoyed your commentary on horses. I don’t think many people ride today and that’s such a shame. I worked in special Ed and horses were one of the animals that children absolutely loved and dealt with the best
it's probably the most expensive sport /lifestyle. Most people simply can't afford it. I always dreamt about owning a horse, and rode a little in my home country where it was much cheaper, but since a horse stopped being a necessity, it just became a luxury. It is a shame, I have seen horses help children and adults with mental conditions, trauma, and other medical issues by just being there, and because one must be calm for a horse to be calm, this peace of mind and focus on what is happening then and there has a very powerful healing effect.
My family here in Queensland Australia, for many generations of dairy farmers. My mum at the age of 5, would ride her full size horse to school every day, eventually so did her younger siblings. Yes I use to ride one of our horses, a large palomino named "Mingo" . A very gentle loving horse. ❤
This man just made my day by saying my home country.
I grew up on a farm but rarely rode horses. My dad considered them only as working animals and not for pleasure. I started riding as an adult and I still love to be near horses. I was able to be near my first Clydesdale at a summer fair but the owner didn't permit us to be close enough to touch and I really wanted to hug one of them. They are so magnificent.
cool
My dad wrote a book about his horse, an appaloosa, and their many adventures together. Skippy was his name, he was the smartest horse I've ever known, and we've had some good ones. Once you have horses, it's hard not to have them, emotionally.
I really enjoyed you posting of all the varieties of horses; their blood lines, and how they became into existence.
My favorite horse is the Clydesdale. They are so majestic and have a beautiful presence and trot. I love their big manes and long bushy tales. I love seeing their hooves with their fur bouncing around when they are trotting. The Clydesdale’s pose and demeanor makes them look like royalty to me.
I love watching the Budweiser Clydesdales do their performances. (I do not drink alcohol, but I do love those beautiful creatures God made.) I really want to see them in person one day. Hopefully, I will before my health gets worse.
I am 5’5”, and this Clydesdale still towered way over me. I saw this Clydesdale at a Fall Harvest on Farm.
This farmer had a variety of animals on loan. A Giraffe, Zedonk (cross between a zebra and a donkey.)
Alpacas, spotted deer (full grown deer 20 years old), a Bull from Africa that had a 7 foot spread of horns. (Diameter at base of horse At skull wash 12.5 inches in diameter.)
The little steer, his sire/calf, in the area with him, he is only 9 months old and his horns were 3 feet long and and 3 inches in diameter at the base of the skull. You could feed the calf from your hand. The Dad just sat there and was like, “I ain’t getting up for no one. Feed my son.”
The chickens and ducks and birds would follow the patrons around and pick up any corn and seeds that dropped to the ground.
I think the one I got to see at his front top shoulder was seven feet not including his head raised up. I don’t know if the head is counted in his height or it is clearance over the horse’s neck and shoulders. Why would you not count every part of the animal?
Don’t let that centipede crawl in your ear and eat your brain 🧠 cells for. Do you have many brain cells? 😂
Merry Christmas & Happy New Year

We had a Dartmoor pony that was passed down from my older siblings to me. I wonder if they became extinct. In the 1980’s I had. Suffolk Punch stud who was especially charming because he was smaller on account of being a twin.
I have been fortunate enough to have had a horse since I was fifteen. My first a 3 year old Mustang from California. Then a second was an Appy-she was beautiful. Then a quarter horse that loved people, we rode in Parades together until he passed at 30. Now I have another quarter horse, a ranch horse that knows more about cows then I do. We liked trail ridding all the time but now he is retired at 29 and is the perfect yard ornament in my front yard, we talk to each other often during the day and we still play together sometimes, I wouldn't have it any other way. They are beautiful creatures. Now you have my curiosity up about the Canadian Horse ???
I've always loved horses. My Dad raised and raced Standard Bred so we were not permitted to ride them. After I married and left home, he finally relented and rescued a Shetland pony for my brothers. I eventually went to riding stables to get my fix. Thanks for this history and information. Truly beautiful and graceful creatures that have befriended and helped humans countlessly over the centuries.
I've always wanted a Gypsy Vanner or Fjord! I grew up with Tennessee Walkers and Quarter Horses but man, I wish I could have one of these beauties.
Cleveland Bays are a lovely horse that was 'saved' by Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth 11. There were only 4 stallions left and she purchased one. Built up her own stock and then loaned the stallion to the public. They are still in the Royal Mews and are often seen on State occasions . Shires are a favourite
"The Appaloosa Horse! It's kind, firendly..."
Every farrier ever: "Mmm...yeah, no, give me the draft..."
I have a 12 Yr old Friesian, got Loki age 2 trained to ride and drive. I've had lots of x breeds all nice horses but this 16.2 horse is so different. He's really gentle, intelligent, funny and he seems so different to any horse I've ever owned. I presume most of these purebred have their own very special temperaments.
I've always loved an Arabian Horse. The angles of the head and face and the graceful bow of the neck catch my breath every time. I have riding experience. Though much more in my younger days. I rode a Quarter Horse and a Thoroughbred.
You've never ridden a Morgan???
It's an absolute pleasure. They are a mix that really has no real competition.
Both Quarter Horses and Thoroughbreds are descended from Arabians. You can always tell a true Arab by the way they hold up their tails when they run.
Arabians also have one less vertebrae.
@@lindahake1666 True. Some people speculate they are actually a slightly different species, even. (Not sure about this, but they are amazing magic.)
When I was a girl, I had a half paint, half Appaloosa wild mustang from Wyoming. our family rescued him from a bad situation. Diablo was his name.
He hadn’t been treated well, and it was very wild when we got him, but with love and attention (lots of treats and grooming too) he turned into a great horse.
He also had one blue eye.
His personality was as unique as his looks. Followed me around just like a big old Doggo
I will remember fondly my time with this one of my best animal friends always and forever ✨💙✨
To KayMay: I also have always loved and respected horses, all breeds. Never got one of my own, but I did get the opportunity to work on a ranch taking care of 36 Morgan horses. What a beautiful experience it was. Such a privilege to be around those precious babies. I could write a book here about it, but suffice it to say that it was the most enriching chapter of my life. One mare in particular, a seal brown Morgan carriage horse, use to join up with me whenever I was in her enclosure. I would pretend I was too busy to notice, and she delighted in coming up behind me and gently draping her head over my shoulder. Her presence, her sweet disposition and her nearness comforted me and a calmness would come over me. I 💕 loved her so much. I would speak softly to her and stroke her. I miss that more than I can express. Once, early in the morning, I woke up and hurried out to the barn. One of our Mares was due; and sure enough, there in the morning light on the hay was a beautiful foal, just minutes old. Oh, I was overcome with emotions as I crept into the stall, softly telling the mare what a beautiful baby she'd had and what a good mamma she was. This was her first foal. Finally I sat down in the hay and stroked the baby's nose and spoke to him. Mine was the first human voice he heard. I treasure these memories.
Sir, thank you for this grand effort! I enjoyed the video. Learned some interesting facts about breeds I know nothing about. I owned horses for thirty years. I so wish I could ride again! So miss it. Love the gaited saddle horses. Thank you, again.
I love the American Cream Draft Horse
Beautiful horse, I agree.
Beautiful horse's
NO lies... I've been to *Topsfield Fair...* and I see literally Massive, HUMONGOUS-Horses in person! Actual, REAL giant breathing-horses that are like kinda, almost *"Prehistoric" HUGE.*
*(Actually, just as almost as Big... as that Horse seen in this video's Thumbnail.)*
*(Except, MORE Smaller than that. But it's still Huge in a way, it gives off that "Prehistoric" vibes)*
@@Thidavann_Soth prehistoric horses were small. The drought breeds are relatively modern.
I thought Eohippus, Early horse, were small.

Thank You I so enjoyed watching this on the Beautiful Horses ! I have always wanted to ride but have never had the chance!! Thank you again!
I dont appreciate them slamming America in this video. Keep your opinions about our part of the world to yourself. It's just about horses
I love horses.This was an excellent portrayal.They are majestic,magnificent and beutiful. Best thing of all,they like us back as well. Happy Christmas everyone.
I used to be afraid of horses...they were so big, and they snorted and sometimes stamped their hooves. They didn't seem to want to be bothered by me. But one day a friend to me along to her stable. I was so surprised when her two horses came right up to me and stuck their heads over the stable door. They seemed to be asking to be talked to and petted. So I did! I was delighted. They were gentle andfriendly and affectionate and loved my stroking of their noses. I was actually sad to leave them there all penned in. I still have no desire to ride a horse, but not out of fear. I just prefer to see them running free on a farm or field. Our whole civilization owes a LOT to horses. It's a huge debt we can only begin to repay through conservation, love and humane treatment.
In Denmark, during the tourist season in Copenhagen, the Tuborg Brewery uses heavy horses to pull carts with beer to restaurants in the Center. After their working life they are allowed an otium on a large farm. And a few farmers still uses heavy horses for plowing fields, also as a competition, on selected fields. And in woods, pulling timber, a horse is much more gentle on the land.
Saw them in Denmark when I was there earlier this year
We have them where I live as well

The black draft horse #20 looks like a labradoodle!😂
I've had horses growing up. Best experience of my life! Enjoyed this commentary of horses, some I never heard of before! How special! Thank you!
I don't care what the breed is. The foals are just too cute!
I was surprised to see so many breeds that I’ve known for almost 80 years. I started riding when I was 4 years old on a stubborn brute, half Shetland, half trotting breed. Maybe he was a combination of two bad examples of their breeds. I was 15 before I was able to progress onto a ‘decent’ horse, but from then on, I was hooked on the noble breed. I’m 84 now, too old to contemplate riding, but I DID have a short ride on my 75th birthday. Oh if only I could turn back the clock.
did your "Shet" present itself IN THE KITCHEN to eat off the counter?????Our "Windy" (Shet-Welsh) did ...& if you said " what are you doing in here"" she'd just " grufff" @ ya & keep on eating !!!!God I loved her !!!!!!& he "brother (Tenn Wlak) "Frankie" !!!!
I strongly disagree with you about being too old! While I am still a young-un at only 82 years, my beloved wife/life and I go for extended pack trips far back into the wilds of the Rockies from our small ranch in Wyoming. I also started riding rather young at 3 years as did my daughter and son. I found that ponies generally tend to be nasty little bastards as they can too easily over power small children. I brought truly highest level Arabian horses from Lebanon during their (endless) civil war in the mid 1960's to early 1980's. These horses, so feared by the pseudo-intelligent would walk all twisted to prevent a child from falling off. Truly incredibly intelligent horses.
I love the curly haired horse, absolutely gorgeous!
I love all horses, and these are all so extraordinarily beautiful..., but those Brabants and Drafts, they amaze me, fascinating creatures
Icelandic horses should be included. They're amazing little horses, similar to the Fjord but with additional gaits.
Once Icelandic horses are exported they cannot come back to Iceland.
Also, theirconformation is different from Fjords.
They’re amazing horses, no horse can be imported to Iceland at all. The law has been in place since the 8th century in order to stop crossbreeding. Luckily they can be exported and we are starting to build a good size population here in Australia. There is always some selective breeding going on, especially if a new mare/stallion is imported.
They can be 5 gaited, with a pace and a tölt. The Mongolian horse and the Icelandic horse are genetically linked and are considered to be one of the oldest, and one of the purest breeds of horse.
Despite their little size, they can easily carry a full grown man, and do it in style! Honestly, once you meet one, you’ll never go back
The Appaloosa horses you mentioned were used by The Nez Perce Indians. It came out as Nez Paris in the subtitles. I grew up in Nez Perce County in Lewiston, Idaho. I know sometimes the computers can't correctly understand what or how someone says a word. Granted some people don't know how to pronounce certain words & even I screw up pronunciations After I do someone let's me know how to pronounce it correctly I, ever forget the correct pronunciations.
Nez Perce was a French description of one person found in that tribe. The tribe refers to themselves as Nimíipuu. They did not create holes in their noses. I do not know how to pronounce that.
The Nez Perce created the Appaloosa,in Idaho.
Yes I've ridden horses. I would like to ride again. We started with a half Shetland and half Indian pony. When we were small all 4 of us rode her at once. Grandpa had a gray dappled draft type horse. After he passed of old age, grandpa got a quarter horse. It was so well trained to cut calves out of a herd of cows that it would take off after jack rabbits. So you had to pay attention when riding him
*Imagined, seeing/encountering an "Alicorn," a "Hippogriff" and/or a "Centaur" in REAL-LIFE... IN-Person...? How rare is that?*

My favorite horse is the Australian Brumby. There are still many of them running wild in The Snowy Mountains in Australia. They have many stories and poems written about them, one of the most popular being Banjo Patterson's 'The Man from Snowy River'. Unfortunately I haven't been in a position to ride much myself.
The Australian government has just given the go ahead to slaughter thousands of Brumbies 😥
All the breeds are beautiful!
The Akhal Teke with its metalic coat, and supple flowing lines, like a Siamese cat!
That poor horse with all that weight on his spine, very large lady.
Great video. I think I could ride before I could walk. My dad would never let us ride with a saddle. He was always scared we would get our foot caught in the stirrup.
Oh my god that horses are so amazing
That HUGE horse is like it came from outer space!
Why once in a thousand years...makes no sense.
Probably just name for the title of the show.
Well researched! Makes a nice change for these 'top twenty horse breeds' videos out there. 👍
...and just what was researched on this site pray tell...
@@stupiddems9422 they didn't pull the breeds' info out of a hat. They had to research them in order to post them here. I've been around horses for about 60 years, so I know something about horse breeds, and this video gives at least some insight to beginners.
My grandfather had 2 Fjords. I loved those horses. Beautiful
Friesian! I have seen, hugged and rode a lot of different horses, not all full-breed but many were and once you met and had a ride on a Friesian you are hooked. They are gentle, kind, smart, handsome , witty and it feels like the horse is dancing!
I believe the companion horse to Joey in "War Horse" is Friesian. Your description defines Topthorn to a T. This is in the book.
We had Palomino first then when my sister got to big for him he was traded in. We then we had a half American Quarter horse and Appaloosa mix. He was chestnut with a white patch with spots on his but. I love all horses so it's hard to say just one.
My VERY favorite is the Palomino---
Even though it's NOT a BREED,
But a COLOR.
I'm rather partial to Thoroughbreds---
I ABSOLUTELY LOVE the tall horses! Sixteen hands or taller is my ideal!
I love their dignified beauty and their mysterious steady gaze xxxxx
I would really love it if you put more horses up here my mom was a horse lover she grew up on a ranch she loved horses my mom passed away back in October God bless her beautiful soul these animals are so beautiful
very interesting information! Thank You
Absolutely loved every minute of this - the background research alone makes it compelling!
I used to ride horses. Love them I had two in my life. To old now to ride now but my heart and love will always be horse's.
2:56 I love this my cousin would love this I’m gonna send this to her❤
Very informative, I was unaware of some of the breeds. They are all charming and beautiful.
Beautiful footage...
My fav is the quarter horse for its confirmation. I miss owning horses very much
Great video! Beautifully and knowledgeable. Thank you so much.
Absolutely love this video, and the horses too. My favorite is the Palomino. Then followed by various breeds of black horses and the Appaloosa. I'm so glad there are people who are out there saving the breeds and their history.
Palomino is a color, not a breed. As is Black.
Most breeds carry the gene to be palomino or black. My friend has a pure bred appaloosa that is palomino. Not a spot on her.
I just love horses ..they are so majestic and beautiful
Have you ever researched the Narragansett Pacer from Rhode Island. My great or great great grandfather used to race them. Apparently their gait was so smooth and comfortable that plantation owners on the southern islands purchased most of them and the breed ended up dying out
This breed of horse is in the DNA of Southern saddle horses like the Tenn Walking horse.
Appaloosa and the fjord. And I like all the other ones too
My horse is a cross between an Arabian horse and an Irish cob! She has the multicolour coat and the chillness of the Irish cob but the speed and endurance of the Arabian horse. 🥰
Thanks this was excellent- I had 2 horses growing up in Australia- I knew of some of these breeds but enjoyed learning about the others. My first pony was a Welsh Mountain pony crossed with Arab with colour known as a ‘Grey’ which is actually ‘white’ I had hoped you would mention the Australian Whalers used in North Africa during 2nd world war & for the courageous liberation of Jerusalem.
They’re called Whalers because the majority came from New South Wales. They are tough, resilient, strong & intelligent. Anyways I did enjoy your video 👍
Ahhhh...God's most beautifull creations.beautifull creatures.
I think all horses are so beautiful, I love to watch them move!
I do horse riding and I LOVE LOVE LOVE the draft horses
They are so beautiful
Didn't realize I would be so enamored with stories of horses, but the info given us here by a most pleasant and interesting narration, that I fell in love 😘 Thank you!
I have loved horses since I was a child but never had one or rode one !
The buy can’t pronounce simple English words!! - ‘Brabant’, ‘dressage’, Berkshire’, ‘Newfoundland’, ‘Cortez’. ‘Lincolnshire’, ‘Cambridgeshire’ etc. Inexcusable.

The Shire Horse to me is what I think is certainly a very beautiful ànd top breed!Geoff.
That was enjoyable. My boy was a Belgian Draft. Outstanding all around horse. I miss him every day and always will.
I love the beauty & elegance of the Arabian breed, but there is no way I could afford to take care of one. I've become very fond of the Freisian breed of horse. I applaud all people involved with the continual time & care of the different breeds of horses around the world, especially those involved in the care of abused & abandoned horses.
Fjord horse 🐎 because I used to ride one. He was sneaky and funny too. But I had to keep an eye out, when grooming him or he would try and bite me. Still it was great to ride him in the forest in Norway.
They are beautiful.
These horses are so pretty
Very interesting! Thanks for all the great info!
Wow! I learned so much! Loved that you used the movie references to let us know what kind of horse we were seeing.
All of these horses are just beautiful. I love all horses but clysdale, misspelled,is my favorite.
Clydesdale is how it's spelled---
But I knew which one you man---
And I agree!🤗🤗🤗
Yes even @ 81 I CAN STILL RIDE....My horse "Frankie " was a 17hnds Tenn Walker..

Hello horses
Wonderful video!!! Lovely horses!! The American Cream Draft stands out from the other draft horses - I think it is the only one that does not have all that hair around the feet [save a LOT of time in grooming].
This is great information for me to see on horses. I always loved horses. This makes me do so even more.

They are all my favorite. I think I am too old to ride now but I did ride in my teens and twenties.
they are also known to be veryy calm 😌also the horse literally bucking 20:46 no hate whatsoever and i learned lots of amazing breeds, i just found it funny
My first pony was a Shetland and my second was a Gallicanism Pony! She was the absolute Best Pony! She was gentle, kind, and loved to jump(after I taught her)! She was also a good cow pony! She lived a long life! I rode my Dad’s Quarter Horse but my Gallicanio was by far the best all around horse!
These horses don’t have anything special about them, but I do love you mentioned them. My personal face are the friesians- beautiful jet black coat and long curly manes!😍

Finally referring to Columbus as he should be referred to. Oh, and the horses are nice.
Such beautiful animals!🤘🤘💚💚💚💚
Thoroughly enjoyed this video. I have ridden since I was a young girl. I love horses. I am 74 now so haven’t ridden lately but never say never. If I get the opportunity I just might!
Always wanted a horse. Now I live where I can have one. 4 L5 back surgeries is holding me back now. Plus being 74 in February doesn't help. ALL AWESOME LOOKING
I was only a kid when I had my Palamino pony King. He was fast but cheeky lol. He found it funny knocking over buckets or water. I could never get him to stop it. My first Horse was a Beautiful Chestnut Irish Thoroughbred of 16hnds. She was a brilliant jumper an a great hunter. She had a set of twins who had similar makings to mom. Not that any of us knew 2 goals would pop out lol. I called them Thunder & Lightning. Due to how they zoomed around the paddock or the arena stamping in unison. I had my girl all her life. Her nutty sons got new owners. My friends. When they were 2yr olds. I've also had an American Mustang I bought after a government round up. He got a great life in UK. An humped my neighbours mare. So they got his cute foal lol. Now I've a Freshian Stallion named Diablo. He's kinda mean. But I like that about him. Apart from his lead lined stable. As he has Demolished his wooden stable. An the brick one. Now it's 2 layers of brick thick. With metal in between them. It's a custom build due to his temper lol. Yet when he jumps it's like flying. With me atop crapping myself he jumped over my uncle's Range Rover for no reason but to show off as a new mare was dropped off. He might outlive me as he way younger than me lol. God help those who have to look after him. He lives up to his name.
