HAHAHHAHAHAAHHA.

XD

10:31 also looked pretty calm. but ngl feel really bad for some of these horses

@@madabettt yeah I agree, I’m sure it’s gotta be stressful for some of the horses

Yeah, the grey looks like he's ready to fall over and have a conniption poor thing.

Yeah the white horse whale eye and his lip looks uncomfortable

agreed, grey horse looks like its shaking as well

AGREED!!! Does anyone ever see a horse in a field / pasture lot do that while playing ? They may rear , gallop, trot, pace, buck, BUT NOT THIS CRAP ABUSE

@@brooke6743 YOU don't know what you're saying. We have 8 Paso Finos BUT DON"T use severe methods as some do to exaggerate what's natural. They do NOT look comfortable at all..... say what you will !

These horses are stronger than you think. Here many people ride horses that size, and they appear tall, but these horses get very well taken care of.

@@graceamazing5981 who u talking to?

WHOEVER IS out there and involved ! OBVIOUSLY !!!@@brooke6743

The bits are too stong. At least the men's hands are still intead of yanking.

Percheron Thoroughbred yes I know, I ride fino’s too and we don’t use a lot of bits, ofcourse some horses do but not all, and we use pretty normal bits not such strong ones

@@KsVlogs2 i don't see that here.... i have seen it in another video though. some horses have the right conformation for an arched neck some don't and it looks weird...im honest i would say it if i saw it. I dont tho...maybe one rider is a bit overweight tho

Tie downs or martingales etc can actually PREVENT the horse from getting yanked in the mouth because its for horses than throw their heads up.

There not as gentle as you think

Like the Tennessee Walker?

@@CFLsurfr / Yes, the TWH and the Icelandic ponies (origin: Iceland). Most of them are four-gaited: walk, trot, running walk (= tjoeld/German: Tölt) and canter/gallop. And some Iceys have got a fifth gait: amble. There are special gait-events for Icelandic horses only in Germany and other European countries since many years.

Lotte Nyrud it is a natural gait for their breed! Pretty wild! I think they look hilarious as well. 😂

I know it’s natural but it’s sooo impractical, like how do you get anywhere???

Sophie Pieters I’m pretty sure it’s primarily used for sport lol. They can still walk, trot, canter, gallop, so I’m assuming if you were trail riding you just wouldn’t signal that gait. (:

@@shannonnieland1288 - This is the 'classic' fino gait. It is specifically a show gait. Not all Paso Finos can achieve the collection and 'fine step' of the classic fino gait. The Paso Fino 'trot' speed is the paso court gait. Lope/canter speed is the paso largo. Some Paso Finos can trot, but it is not a desired gait under saddle.

@@sophie-pp1ke this breed was used for work in mountains and moving around the city, theres no rush

selective breeding is not natural you can cause health issues with it. .

Finally, someone who has actually done their research! Thank you! XD

lol

& THEY ARE A BREED OF HORSE THAT DO NOT LIKE TO SIT STILL.

SO DONT SAY THIS IS ABUSE UNTIL YOU KNOW THE FACTS

I thought the foam means the horse is accepting the bit? When I trail ride on THE the horse often roll and chews a little on the bit. Doesn't look painful, they actually seem calm. I've been invited to ride Paso Fino and can't wait to try it!

someone jodie but some of the people look too big

they look stupid.

It's their natural gait since the day their foals.

That’s awesome but this competition is Colombian pasos

@@lauraba39 Ah, there gaits are very smooth and they are very beautiful. I had only known of : Peruvian Pasos and Paso Finos.

These are actually Puerto Rican pasos

There's no training needed for the gait as it's completely natural to them by this point as they been Bred to do this, even foals do the gait on their own!

They are both born that way and trained. Bred to gait..i did for three years.

@@sproutglob7126 it's natural? You idiot. . How is it natural if they were selective bred to be this way? It's unnatural!

Shannon Haskin , how long did it take you to get there? 3 days? 🤣🤣🤣

I wondered that too

They judge you on if you are in the correct gate and you’re posture and all that stuff

I have never ridden dressage, so please do not quote me on this, but I do ride Paso Finos as in this video, and at my barn we use classical dressage methods to train and use dressage saddles. As in dressage, horses are judged on their transitions between gaits (more seen in pleasure and performance classes as I ride in) and the demeanor, collection, responsiveness, and energy of the horse. (There is more to dressage, yes I know, and there is also more to this, but that is just a quick summary

It's based on how closely it resembles a Harley Davidson!

Actually in my country that is known for breeding very good Paso finos, they are judged on how fast they can go in their gait without stepping out of it, along with the sound it makes, usually how loud, and so forth. They also judge tbe posture of the rider, and horse.

Many

These horses are registered in the United States PFHA. Most are a mix of Colombian and Puerto Rican, although the Puerto Rican bloodlines are almost gone. The pure Puerto Rican gait is softer, finer, and the ride is generally smoother. There are probably less than 4,000 PPRs remaining in the world.

Tomichi Blue I have one her name is liberty

@@raquelwilliams6533 same his name is raven

Mine is named Chico! And not all Paso Finos are so collected, there are three “types”: pleasure, performance, and, as seen here, Classic

*there

I love their tiny little steps! Gaited horses are amazing.

Look at all those happy horses that are so sweaty with spit dripping out of their mouths, their heads pulled to the chest with riders that are to big for them. Those are some happy horses that love what they do...

@@mightyzeus6940 Sweat is a product of exercise. ANY exercise. If you walk around, you sweat. You may not notice it, but it's there. Saliva is from an active bit. Active bit means active communication from rider to horse. If there is no saliva on a calm horse with a normal bridle, something is going on. It's like a human with gum/tic tacs in their mouth. It moves, you produce saliva. None of these horses is rolkur'd. (Hyperflexed). This breed has a naturally high crest, inherited from the Iberian breeds. You want to see chin-to-chest, look at some of the worst-trained Dressage horses. (Nothing against Dressage. But those training 'shortcuts' need abolished. Badly.) A horse's weight limitation is 20% of their body weight. cha-ahse.org/store/pages/120/WEIGHT-LIMITATIONS--FOR-RIDERS.html Paso Finos are around 1,000 lbs, and can EASILY carry 200 lbs, with the average American man weighing 198. The reason the riders look too big is because the Paso is a smaller breed, standing at 13-15 hh. (For reference, Quarter horses are 14-16hh.) Like the Morgan, Paso Finos are powerhouses: small, but mighty. And any horse that really does not enjoy showing is not put in the ring. Judges don't look at just the gait. They look at how the horse carries itself, how the rider communicates with the horse, how fit the horse is, etc. If a horse is unhappy, it shows in how it moves and carries itself, and judges will pick up on that and can dock points. With all of the money it takes to show, you don't want your horse to lose because YOU are doing something wrong. Just like human sports, if a player is not enjoying themselves, they don't put in 100% effort. And you can tell the difference. If you are going to post something that criticizes a sport or event, please do your research first.

MightyZeus you realize that literally any horse will sweat, even if it’s not ridden, right? I just watched horses galloping in a field. Just like walking a dog, they like exercise and having their energy channeled into something interesting. Horses will get bored and go crazy if they don’t get the exercise they need. And spit drips from their mouths all the freaking time. 😂 Have you ever seen a horse in person?

Yeah it's natural. You can look it up.

It’s natural to an extent, what’s happening is that the bit is in the way of the back teeth and they’re pulling the horses head back- this doesn’t hurt them or cause much harm but it can be slightly uncomfortable. These horses are very used to this however they don’t actually need such a strong pull back since these are such sweet natured horses

No it´s not. Horses that are in the wild or out in pasture don´t foam at the mouth. People that say it´s normal either don´t know any better or they come up with a million excuses on why the horse foams so that they feel better about their abuse.

@@mightyzeus6940 My horse foams at the mouth when she's worked (in a roundpen). In fact, all of the horses I've worked with foam at the mouth when they're worked. They don't have bits in their mouth.

@@anonymousjet It's because of the 'lick/chew'. It's the horse's way of saying "I understand what you want me to do. Message received." What breed to you have? :) And "Zeus"... Yes, horses in the wild and in pasture DO 'foam'. Horses have a hierarchy. If a higher ranking horse pins their ears and tells another to move, that second horse moves away while doing the 'lick/chew'. Please take the time to watch and study an animal before commenting on it's behavior.

Melania MoneyPenny 1 second ago Tie downs or martingales etc can actually PREVENT the horse from getting yanked in the mouth because its for horses than throw their heads up

_Pisador_..... It is _not_ a tie down. It is - for want of a better, understandable description - a lead rope attached to the 'halter'.

It is actually not a tie down, these are called Pisadors, and they are used with most of the gaited Spanish horses. :)

The tie downs (or pisadors) don't actually restrict the horses' heads (it's not allowed in the showring). For show, they are ormamentation. For training, they are used as lunge lines.

there are two blood lines, Colombian Paso Fino and Puerto Rican Paso Fino, two distinct blood lines! look it up.

A lot of the time, the ears will flick forward briefly simply because something caught their attention- another horse, someone walking around, a strange noise. For an unhappy, tense horse, look at the horse at 8:05, and for a relaxed horse, look at 3:19

@@dreaming-of-spots6805 Thanks for teaching me.

@Ye Olde Horsemanship Channel what those horses show isn't testosterone. It's fear. And pain. I am so sorry you're stuck in old ways

@Ye Olde Horsemanship Channel i work with many breeds and lines, and some of them are hot blooded and full of testosteron but none of them ever show this amount of pain because they are treated with respect and knowledge, not with whips an anger like the horses in the video

@Ye Olde Horsemanship Channel u worked with a hot blooded pre stallion. And btw, i'm not english, the horses i work with are not weak. I've worked with really powerfull horses, horsebreeds you probably never even laid your hands on. But the whole world knows how bad the paso fino showworld is. The trail paso's are treated way better and with a lot more respect. The show paso's are beautyfull, hotblooded and powerfull but the abuse people like you use to get them 'perfect' is just not okay. It's sad you'll never see that and you will continue your abuse. This i my last reaction here because you're just too ignorant and stupid to talk to

Bits are copper or iron to keep the horses mouth wet the dropping of saliva is the pressure on the tounge keeps them from swallowing the excess spit they cant help it lol

NO

Yeah, they're most likely being ridden in copper or sweet iron bits, and as they fiddle with/chew on them, they salivate. You see it in a lot of other disciplines too.

there's nothing wrong with people worrying about animals my man

Not really. At all.

My Paso will hold his gait mile after mile with his ears pricked. This is a natural gait and smooth as glass when the horse is gaiting properly.

One reason is because the horse is being pushed or is working hard (not always bad but Could be caused by stress), sometimes it's because the rider is using the incorrect bit, meaning that one that isn't right for that horse specifically or it could be because it isn't placed in correctly Especially with the rider with this one pulling on the reins a bit too tight, the head placement is way too tight not allowing him to swallow the excess salvia which often causes a foam or drool like substance. Compared to the other riders they "allowed their horse their heads" or give them a bit of reign to relax their head position a bit while that one has shorter reigns, not allowing much for the horse to relax the position a bit.

They are beautiful horses. The breed description is 'gentle in hand' (on the ground) and spirited under saddle. Most of the bits are unique to the breed and are a result of centuries of development.

You need bits to ride these horses, so you can keep them going at a specific gait if you don't have bits it is very likely they will get out of gait and not be able to work as well

Have you ever ridden a Paso? They are all controlled fire and spirit. You can ride them in any bit you want; this is the traditional Paso bit, and is much milder than it looks. The shanks are swept back so there is very little leverage compared with, say, the curb bit you'll find on a western horse. Even these horses, fired up stallions no less, are ridden with some drape in the rein. Watch again. This is a natural headset in the fino gait. My horses, a Paso among them, greatly prefer a curb bit to a snaffle. It's easier for them to carry, and gives a signal before engaging.

This

Ivelisse Colon-Nevarez miscallo

These are American registered Paso Finos. Some Colombian bloodlines.

Paso Fino, without the "colombian"

Paso finos can gallop like any normal horse

That wouldn't be as funny.

Most of the time it's caused by copper bits or "flavored" bits. The sweetness from the metal causes them to salivate more. As the saliva warms up, and the bit makes it hard for the horse to swallow, the saliva ends up turning foamy and leaking out the mouth. Doesn't always mean the horse is suffering, though.

There's also the fact that communication with the horse through the hands means the bit moves. Think of it like chewing gum. Before you put a piece of gum in your mouth, your salivary glands are 'on stand by'. When you start chewing, your glands start to release saliva. The more the gum moves, the more saliva is produced. When you tuck the gum in your cheek, production goes down. When you are moving (say, jogging down the street) you aren't thinking about swallowing, you're thinking about moving, and the saliva builds up until you notice it and swallow. It's the same with horses. When a bit is put in a horse's mouth, the same glands activate. When you move the reins, the bit moves too, which means saliva. And because of the horse's head position and gravity, all that saliva comes out as drool/foam. I hope that explanation makes sense. :)

Natural Gait.

It's a natural gait and tbh a lot of the time hanging their tongue out is just a personal quirk (he does it even when standing quietly in the lineup on a loose rein) and long shanks aren't bad as long as the hand is light (look at 127 as an example- a bit of slack in the rein, and the horse has a relaxed face)

It is a natural gait, you can find videos of foals doing it without human help. its really quite cute!

@@LadyNolaJ I just searched for some videos about it. They really are quite precious when they move. It was a one minute video with the foal and his momma. The mom was doing it, too. Such a cute pair. X3

The saddle pad is for protection of the expensive saddle. You don't need it if the saddle is well fitting. Otherwise, don't use the saddle.

Frau Wolle that’s not completely true. Saddle pads are used to protect the horse from the saddle. When the leather gets sweat on it and it’s rubbing in the same spot over and over and over, it is extremely painful.

I see, thank you. Gladly so far I always used saddle pads.

All Paso saddles that I've seen have full padding built in, there is no leather touching the horse.

It’s a contoured pad

Me too!

Same!

Sandy Kien look it up this is a natural gait for these horses

Мне тоже их жаль!

​@@lloydmager2678 а сколько могут служить ножки этим лошадкам, после постоянных таких выездках?

Nope these are very natural gaits. A bunch of other horse breeds move like this.

LOL

I would say that applies more to your comment.

This is a natural gait for their breed

@@mshyena9085 I understand that, it just looks horrible for the horse:(

It's because of the way they're stepping that causes their tail to bend like that. When the horses stand still, you can see that their tails lay flat. Also, Arabians, when excited, curve their tail in a very similar manner. So the way it is bending is very natural to the animal.

Just look at tail's position when they're standing.

@@anonymousjet - no, many of the tails _are_ cut due to owners being convinced that they have to bend in order to win even though there a very small number that have a slight curve to the naturally lowest tail. There used to be a rule against it, but it was voted out by people who declared there was no test for natural vs. unnatural tail set. I absolutely do not support cut tails any more than I support TWH 'Big Lick' abuses or quarter horses being drained of blood to make them abnormally 'calm' before their classes.
