He is really NICE to ignore the riders unsteady hand and wobbly reins (either hold steady contact with the snaffle rein and drop the other pair pleeeeeze!!!!) But what a wonderful horse, wow.
U do realise his still learning? They are learning each other? His a horse off the track that didn’t want to be ridden anymore. Fair to say that ur judgment on the rider is is completely wrong. Everything u have tried to run the rider down for will come later on. Taking a horse like this off the track and turning it over to a new discipline AINT no easy task. How’s about some positive vibes
@@MollyGrue1 I thought he was being trained as a show jumper. Other people are saying he is going to trained for dressage so I really don’t know. Dressage is so disciplined with precise movements. Chautauqua has a mind of his own. I think it would be easier to transition into show jumping but who knows.
@@dianehenkel9088 look, classic dressage is just like "tuning" comunication between horse and rider, or gymnastics for the sake of the horse to keep it fit. In fact, even the most famous show jumpers had solid "dressage" training and it did them well. What you see in the world class dressage is just "show" - and often has nothing to do with the classic way of horse training developped by guys like Pluvinel or Guerinière in 17th century france - or based on antique greek Xenophon who was the first to write about it. In the clip, Chautauqua moves easily, without pressure or tight reins. I think he has a beautiful (yet strong) character and responds well to being treated well. He moves like all horses like to do in a natural way. Down on the race track, he just defended himself before being destroyed. Maybe he had a heart-, or lung- or leg-problem nobody knew about, and hurt? Maybe he was just fed up with being whipped during finish while running his butt off anyway? Headstrong horses are quite ok - I had one for 26 years. You have to win them over, to convince them to work for you. Comittment is no one way road. they just turn around if you are not with them a 100% and thats their bl*** right. They risk their bones for us humans.
He takes my breath away........Stunning horse.
He is one beautiful horse
Hes a stunning show horse.
All race horses should get a chance like this after racing.
Show hunter. Looks stunning.

Looking like a teenager Sharky...
in which country can this horse be found? and was he bred?nice to see his pony.. Thanks
Aussie gun race horse
Australia best sprinter to ever race!! CHATAUQUA
People don’t realise this is the greatest sprinter to ever race!
As much as I love Chautauqua , saying he is the best sprinter ever to race is a tad colossal. Black Caviar and WInx were better out and out sprinters!
He said 'No' to racing great to see him looking do well.
Looks great in his new career as a show jumper.
yes, looks great but as a dressage champion. What a wonderful and friendly creature!
@@MollyGrue1 so he is doing dressage not show jumping?
@@dianehenkel9088 what is he doing in the video? Do you see him do one single jump? Did I miss something?
