Arabian stallions in Qatar and Kuwait are almost exclusively gray. Their stallions need more “pigment” stallions as one announcer said; pigment meaning chestnut, bay, and black.
If it looks ridiculous IT IS RIDICULOUS!!!! What a freaking spectacle. These horses are speaking volumes as to their treatment in these shows. Can we please grow up and stop thinking exploitation is somehow attractive.
@@MagnificentHorses In terms of what they are fed and vet care and etc. I am sure they are very pampered… In terms of honoring the nobility of their spirit, as I said before they speak volumes in how they go. A whip in one hand a chain in the other to keep them jacked up on adrenaline so they ‘show’….it is not impressive but disturbing when you realize how their nervous systems are being manipulated. I have 45 years experience with horses, and have shown halter horses, so I am not a green novice making these comments. We need to do better as human beings in our relationship with the natural world.
It's been the fashion for a long time to have the Arabians "pose" in a certain stance for halter classes--feet square, head up and neck extended to show off the curve of the crest. But it looks like judge preferences have gone to extremes even in here. Look at these horses rock back and forth while standing. It's because they are now being made to hold their heads so high, with their necks at such an extreme angle, that they are having to shift their weight unnaturally back onto their hindquarters, and they can't balance that way. It's pathetic that that gets rewarded.
Yes, I've noticed that rocking motion you're talking about it all of the Holter classes and all of the shows I've seen. I'm not particularly fond of that either.
Some people prefer it that way. I personally think it looks better with the muzzle shaved and with the oil, but I can certainly see how you would prefer the other way.
horses wonderful or more no talk about but not so the promotion is not good for the horses it is only stress for them i liked only one older man without a Gerte in deutsch i do not know the english word maybe stick or something thank you less stress for the stallions would be much better but to much money is in this buisness sorryly sorry my bad english greatings from Austria
I think they need to be careful about the dish in their faces. Problem with whips us what they do outside the ring with them. I've seen their warm-ups.
@@sharihazlett3774 I guess it depends on your definition of humane. I use a dressage whip on my horse when I do jumping, but it only takes a little tap to get the desired result. I would gladly tap myself with the same amount of force as I do on the horse.
@Magnificent Horses like I said, I've seen warm-ups at a state fair. Frankly it was revolting watching them hitting them, snapping the whip at them just to get ' fire' as they lead them. I blame judges rewarding it
If you're going to comment on horse's 🐎🐎🐎🐎🐎🐎 let alone Arabians. Educate yourself on the breed, and showings. They're not the owners or trainers they're handlers that have the horses in the ring... 🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️😀😀😀😀😀
Actually, I am educated on horses and Arabians in particular. When someone buys or raises a foal, they own it. Someone who trains a horse is a trainer. Sometimes are also called handlers, but those two terms mean the same thing, and we all know what they mean.
Thanks, I have never heard of grullo before. I googled it and it looks like it's related to the dun type of color. I know that Arabians do not come in dun, and I believe these are purebred Arabian stallions, so I'm guessing it's something very similar to grullo. And I'm glad you commented because I learned a new color for horses!
It feels like these horses are on edge. They keep pulling away and rearing, as if they're trying to escape, and nostrils are flaring. Makes me wonder how cruel the training practices are in this... sport.
@@emisassy1819 thanks for your concern about the horses. The training practices are not cruel because Arabians are considered hot blooded horses which means they're naturally pretty frisky. All of the owners I know from these shows love their horses with all their hearts.
I love your Channel.
Aw, thank you very much! That's really nice to hear!
Beautiful
Thank you! And yes, every one of these horses is absolutely beautiful.
Sorrels/chestnuts are my favorite colors for any breed, but especially Arabians!
I especially like to see sorrels and chestnuts shortly before sunset when they seem to glow like copper!
Well, I picked both chestnuts and the third pick was one of the bays, in no particular order. So I guess I nailed it pretty well.
Yeah, you definitely nailed it! Even the judges don’t agree 100%.
Black horses are a lot like black cars. They can be the most beautiful & most luxurious in appearance if they are well maintained & clean.
🤣 That's a good analogy!

I did not realize that… Thanks for letting us know!

I’m sorry you think it looks ridiculous and that showing horses like this is exploiting them. These are some of the most pampered horses in the world.

@@myronschabe the points you make are definitely legitimate!

Ok, pretty horses, but ugh, the greasy faces! Bring back the Peter Cameron days (refer to Sheila Varian clinics youtube)
Yeah, some people don’t like that look, but all of them at the show do that. I’m kind of torn on that idea.
I always cheer for a black horse.
I'm pretty partial to black horses myself. There's just something about them that I really like.❤️
I hate how they shave their face & muzzle & use the oil. It just looks bad. I prefer their natural beauty.

Thanks for commenting all the way from Austria! “Gerte” means “switch”in English.

Yeah, some trainers can be a little rough. But that’s still nothing compared to what horses do to each other in the wild.
@@MagnificentHorses that is not the standard for how horses should be treated. Humane should be #1. Why do you need a whip??

That darker grey is very close to, if not actually a grullo.
