I don’t know much about this breed, so correct if anything I say it’s wrong. I feel like these horses having their heads so high only inverts their spines and keeps them from using their hind end correctly. They have very developed, almost too developed muscles on the inside on their neck because of this. I understand this is signature for this breed, but it seems so counter productive
You’re incorrect. This is how you collect a saddlebred. This is the correct contact for them; as their balance and center of gravity is much different than say a warmblood or quarter horse.
@@cheyennepepper301 always happy to help educate! Glad you’re receptive to it! Most people are like nope I know what I’m talking about; even if they don’t. Hence the majority of the comments on this vid 🤦🏼♀️
Avery = Observe their expressions and the un-peaceful look --- almost painful look in their eyes. The tails are sometimes 'doctored' .... so it's carried so artificially high ( I've been told by vets that sometimes an operation is done to break those bones) and it's said they make the 'collection' and action in their legs so animated and abnormal, by putting a hot medication (?) on the hoof & leg that causes pain when they touch the ground. I'm praying this is outlawed. I used to so want to have a horse like that, with such fun gaits = but I would not allow some or anyone hurt my horse ! Hope you care for your horse very much and enjoy their well being. =D They are wonderful !
@@carolmartin2503 uhhhh you’re thinking of Tennessee walkers. Saddlebreds don’t have hot paste that makes them step higher. their gaits are NATURAL. look up videos of foals and observe the same movements their parents make without even being trained at all or alive for more than a few days. Please educate yourself before spreading incorrect information. I show top level saddle seat saddlebreds and seriously they’re treated really well. The look in their eyes is excitement and love for what they do. Trust me when I say a horse knows when it’s show time and they get allllll excited and know what to do.
Elena Horowitz sorry I forgot to add in saddleseat we lime to finish the rail with the gait we are doing and you never want to stop in front of the judge.
We always finish our rail, we never want to stop in front of a judge, plus, they always ask multiple times so everyone in the audience knows what gait the riders are doing, and for the riders aswell. Sometimes when I’m doing a show it’s kind of hard to hear with all the trainers yelling at their riders instructing them.
If you are interested you could compare your horses/riders with the Icelandic horses from Europe: F 1 Five Gait A-Final, World Championship Icelandic Horses 2013. Sometimes they go "Rennpass" - very fast pace/amble ?/I don't think that there is a time accelerator/quick motion-apparatus), and sometimes they go "Tölt" /running walk with very long rains.
Audrey, yes, 3 year olds. It's called a Futurity class. The winning horse and rider get a big fund to help the horse and rider further their show ring career :) not as bad as it seems - most Futurity stakes are much shorter than normal classes. Normals are usually under ten minutes, these classes are usually a bit shorter for the horses in them.
The rack is a very comfortable gait to ride and is a favorite gait of many pleasure riders, however, these are SHOW horses. The job of the rider is to show off the horse lol 😂 the goal is to win not look comfy

@@ratherbfishing455 I’ve never heard that. The only rules for heading a horse is that you can’t wear jeans and you should be wearing a polo top or something nice. Heck, I’m not sure I’ve ever seen an old picture where they are wearing a white coat. Whatever this tradition is, it died decades ago.
@@ratherbfishing455 what breed are you talking about? There a chance that what you are describing only happens in Arabians or Morgan’s and not with Saddlebreds. If it is Saddlebreds, then I understand why they stopped, as it can be dangerous and also, like I mentioned, white never stays white long at a show.
Bailey McCosh, they actually could be 3 years old, unlike in other breeds, with saddlebreds its very common to use switches in their tails which is basically a hair extension for a horses! It's very interesting if you look into it. Have an amazing day! 😊
You can ride a horse at 3 years old, however you can't really jump them or race them. But doing stuff like this won't be a strain since it's their natural gait
@@pauljohnson-ih1xe Nonsense. ALL horses are 'very powerful' compared to humans, and there are _plenty_ of horses which are far more powerful than these fairly lightweight riding horses. Being able to move on a loose, or looser, rein, at least at one pace, for a certain number of strides, or for certain parts of a display or individual show is something that can be, usually is, and certainly should be, taught to ALL horses, regardless of breed or discipline.
Dia Reed and while i agree with you that none of this is right i don’t think it should be compared to big lick. this industry does need some real reform though.
i cant STAND the creepy organ music. lol. and....are they sitting on their last rib?? or kidneys? can't tell. The HORSES AND GAITS ARE GORGEOUS! This sport can and SHOULD be refined. Its kinda helter skelter and creepy in this video.

I used to have a 3-gaited Saddlebred mare. What I like about the show horses is they look like they're HAVING FUN showing off.

If it’s the ladies five gained championship why are the saddles removed. Are they not just judging the rider and not the horse.
Why keep showing the old man with the eye patch?
Why don't they follow the commands of the judges when asked to change gait or line up? Seems weird that he has to ask so many times...
Elena Horowitz they do do that in many many shows so everybody knows the gait they are to do. Also for enthusiasm.
Elena Horowitz sorry I forgot to add in saddleseat we lime to finish the rail with the gait we are doing and you never want to stop in front of the judge.
Elena Horowitz The riders always try to make a PASS in front of the judge

Elena Horowitz you have to finish your pass I used to do saddle seat but I do hunters and still have to finish my pad or they deduct points 😂

A fund? Most horse owners are multimillionaires!
Not one single horse can walk properly!!!???
its a prance thats what they do; even in the pasture
Yes especially at a show they get worked up and have a hard time flat walking most saddlebreds are like this
Elena Horowitz....... You always make a final pass in front of the judge!
Show your horse!!!
What a beautiful class.
These horses seem to only be four-gaited, obviously they aren't able to do walk.
Animated walk
Show your horse!!!!
For a breed of horse meant to be comfortable to ride, I marvel at how uncomfortable the riders look.
The rack is a very comfortable gait to ride and is a favorite gait of many pleasure riders, however, these are SHOW horses. The job of the rider is to show off the horse lol 😂 the goal is to win not look comfy

Absolutely adore these horses
Why don't the trainers and grooms wear white coats?
What do you mean? Why would they? On top of possibly scaring the horses, white is incredibly hard to keep clean at a horse show.
@@hayzyhorses6899 Its a tradition to wear a lab coat when heading a show horse. Maybe they can't afford them anymore.

These aren’t 3 year olds, if they were this would be a futurity class. 3yo have shorter tails

I would like to see these horses ridden in the ring on a _loose_ rein. It would be ... interesting.
They would trot the same
they are very powerful; they would just run off with a loose rein, you have to ride them with a close rein or they will run away with u

they trot prance like this in the pasture with no person or tack on them at all, just not as fast.
@@Sine-gl9ly I meant in temperament, not physically. Ive had several.
Closest thing to Tennessee walker big lick in the horse industry
not even close. sorry. you must not ride saddlebreds
Cal 15 years of saddleseat “training” and 10 of those were spent showing nationally. This is all a goddamn cult. Go to my insta dia_savesaddleseat
Dia Reed how is this close to big lick at all? and it’s not the closest in the “horse industry” big lick is still going on.
Dia Reed and while i agree with you that none of this is right i don’t think it should be compared to big lick. this industry does need some real reform though.
Cal yall are the only ones who use stacked keg shoes and tail alternations. Just go follow my account on insta i dont do youtube very much
i cant STAND the creepy organ music. lol. and....are they sitting on their last rib?? or kidneys? can't tell. The HORSES AND GAITS ARE GORGEOUS! This sport can and SHOULD be refined. Its kinda helter skelter and creepy in this video.
the saddle does not go that far back. YOu need to visit a Saddlebred barn.
Omg same the music haunts my dreams 😭
