I love horses I have been riding sine was young. They have a very special place in my heart. I got to work at camp with horse this summer and I loved it so much.

I started riding horses when I was 3 years old. When I was 13 my Dad raised his hand at an Auction and maybe he didn't think he'd win, and we ended up with an Arabian-Morgan cross bread. He was high strung and didn't walk but pranced all the time. He was tough mouthed was the only bad part. Once he was running, he was almost impossible to slow down or stop even. I still loved riding him though. We had to sell him when I was 15 because we were moving to Montana. That day hurt so bad. Then when I was 17, I got a Ranch job feeding close to 500 head of Yearling Calves and instead of using a Tractor to pull the slay I was given 3 work horses that had hoofs the size of frisbees. (And they could work) I miss all my horses. Even the Horses I didn't own.

I have been riding Icelandic horses for 20 years. They have so much personality and they come in allmost every color.

Horses are very important to me. Had 2 for over 30 years. It was very hard to have to put them down. I miss them every day. I lived in Arizona and it was mine and my friend. A pleasure to ride in that state. Will always miss them.

When I was 5 years old, back in 1956, my grandparents took my brother, sister, and me to a horse auction and let us pick out a pony. He was 5 years old, too, and he lived to be 26. He was a dark chocolate and white pinto built about like a Welsh pony section c. He was trained to harness and, for $50, came with a little red saddle, a halter, and a bridle. After the first couple rides, we decided the saddle and bridle were just too much needless trouble. We usually rode him bareback with just a halter and halter rope. We had a great time with Chief. He put up with a lot, even letting us try Roy Rogers mounts and all kinds of tomfoolery. He cheated at hide-and-seek, though. He was one of the smartest people I've known, and one of the sweetest. All this time later, I still really miss him.

I grew up on a ranch in North Dakota. I rode half broke horses over 10,000 achers my whole child hood. I have traveled all over the word in the last 50 years, riding horses every chance I got. My favorite horses were the Andalusians (now called Spanish sport horses). I spent 4 years in Spain and spent all my off time at ranches where they mostly raised fighting bulls. I rode Lipizzaner's in Slovenia. Irish sport horses in Ireland, Arabians in Egypt, Worm bloods in Germany, Thoroughbreds in England, I played polo in Texas, rode bucking horses in rodeos, team roped, did dressage, arena jumping, cross country jumping, eventing, went elk humting on horse back in Montana, and trained many kids to ride. I have had a very good life and am looking forward to team roping with my Dad in heaven. May God bless and keep you. (Oh by the way. That picture of the horse raring. The orange and white one with black tiger stripes! Thats one of the best Photo Shop jobs I've ever seen.)

All horses are beautiful ❤️

My friend has two marsh tackles, a mare and a stallion. I had no idea how rare they are.. they are so beautiful.

As a child my father took me horse back riding I also was around horses on my uncles farm and my grandfather had a horse named prince which he would hook up to a slide and he would lead him with me riding on the slide to the store and whatnot. My mother took me to Kansas City when I was 5 years old and it became like a dream. Years later in the Air Force I went horseback riding when in Washington state. My wife and I went to Aruba and I wanted her to ride but she was kinda reluctant and exclaimed Floyd you can’t ride a horse and for a second I think I might have believed her but I found myself actually leaping on a horse completely purposefully missing the stirrup to prove her wrong. I want to ride now after seeing this video. In the right place I would be so in love with riding! Thanks for the feeling I have in my spirit right now! Keep riding!

Oh and I have a Zorse they are so cute I telling you they are so cute 🥰

never had my own horse but always loved them. The man who talked had a very pleasant voice. Some of the narrators both men and women on you tube have horrible voices regardless of how interesting their topic is.

I don’t have my own horse but I love riding. I just feel so free and I love just being close to a horse.

Horses are beautiful creatures. Thank you for sharing about these breeds. I over horse back riding.

Great video, Thank you for showing people all different Breeds, and tell people how smart they r and The BOND you Build with a Horse, They become part of ur family, my horse saved me.......unbelievable how they know if u r happy or sad, Beautiful Horses , I am looking for a new horse, lost my horse a year ago now I am looking for a new horse

Much Thanks for your rare horses video, from a Canadian in the province of Ontario.

My daughter went to Lourdes University in Sylvania Ohio . Offered in their physical education curriculum includes an Equestrian course. She was able to learn to ride, dressage, and history of major breeds.

Hackneys were excellent jumpers but that is never mentioned. Przewalskis are 66 chromosome. Domestics are 64. According to the Caspian horse people, Cyrus the great was killed because he refused to use Chariot horses and stayed with ponies that the Scythians ran down on their horses. Alexander's horse was descended from the stolen mares taken from Xerxes.

I didn’t realize there are so many breeds of horses. I had small thoroughbred growing up. He actually raced. He was my best friend I loved him so much. ❤️

I think horses are one of God's most beautiful and gracious character. They just make me feel alive just to be around them. Riding a horse made me feel royal! Thanx for this show of the most rare of His creatures.

I am proud to own a caspian!

I've ridden may breeds of horses or ponies over my lifetime but the Cydesdale has a special place in my heart because a lovely mare called 'Lacey' is the last horse I rode regularly. Despite her size she responded to my training and became quite expert at lower-level Dressage and her endless good nature and willingness to work hard always impressed me. While I learned Dressage in France on part-Arabians, Anglo-Arabs and Selles Francaise Horses, I was impressed at how willing and hard-working a Clydesdale mare could be!

My husband and I road horses when we were in Indiana. We both had a good time.

I’ve owned a horse for around 5 years and her breed (Boerperd) is my favourite There’s a farm in Kenya that bred Cleveland bay x boerperd. They’re stunning

Ever since I could remember my mom and dad had horses so we rodeo and I love horse

Morgan are my favorite. Had 1/2 Morgan and I believe quarter sweetest horse ever

When I Was Born In 2015 I just rode a Akhal Teke Pony Horse So Me and My Family Were Having a Road Trip to the Horse Riding Ranch When me and my Dad were having fun Since in 2015 I realized that I have some Good Memories At the Past of Days And Years

I do western horse riding on a pony named Silver. He is the best pony I’ve ever known. I used to do horse therapy on a horse named Obsidian and a miss him so much. I hope that one day I can see him again.

EXCELLENT hope the preeservation CONTINUES

There are actually other draft breeds hailing from over here in the states. The harlequin sugarbrush draft was bred in America

I have riden for over 30 years and still riding and bin with my gypsy pony he is such a cheeky boy love them and have done since 30 years ago x

I've never been, always wanted to go horseback riding. I'll put that on my bucket list 😉

I own a halflinger mare named Buttercup. We do eventing. The tallest we have jumped is 2ft 6 inches. She loves cross country ❤️🐎

I just love 🐎 🐴 🐎 🐴 🐎 🐴 🐎 🐴 🐎 🐴 🐎 🐴 🐎.

I've rode horses my whole life and I love them

I love all horses, I see you I've heard up on this list but most I have not. We need to save all horses❤❤❤❤

The horses are beautiful !!! But my weakness is velociraptors :) Belgian Malinois :)))

My grandfather taught us how to ride. My most memorable ride was when we stayed one summer and I rode Sailor a retired race horse and he rode Lady who had a big attitude. I remember getting into a good trot almost gallop, or walk for a race horse, right along the Snake River in southern Idaho it was beautiful. God rest my grandfather's soul. My grandfather passed away in late November. Resist well Poppa Punk

one horse that only has about 1,000 left is the cracker horse. They were brought over by Juan Ponce de Leon, along with pig, chicken, goat, ext. He brought them from spain and we only now have around 1,000 surviving cracker horses sadly, but they are very beautiful horses.

I’ve heard of quite a few of these breeds. There are just a little over a handful I haven’t. I love horses!

8:51 absolutely beautiful workhorses!

I used to ride a Welch Mountain Horse or pony as a teen. It was fairly small and I never hear it mentioned.

Enjoyed very much seeing all you these breeds. I grew up with horses first 12!years of my life, at 69, I would love to enjoy reeducating and enjoying riding with in retirement yeas!

i started riding when i was 6 year old , I loved horse when i was little so my dad for my birthday let me go horse back riding.now i work at a horse barn named "J and J stables" i love it there ,. i ride a at a place called " Twin Oak's farm" I love to ride there and the people are so nice there.i was just riding for fun but than my cousin started to barrel race .So now i am starting to barrel race. horse make me happy when i am sad . i do not have a horse but, one day i will have a horse

What about the Tennessee Walker is another beautiful horse. My uncle used to own one. They had a beautiful gallop.

My late husband taught me and our three daughters to ride. We love it. We miss him. So we ride a lot. Brings us closer to him still.

Magnificent animals. They’re just amazing to watch.

Man sucks... Such a Intelligent beautiful majestic creature. I love horses. It’s so heartbreaking and sad that some horses are extinct & on the verge of extinction. Basically a lot of animals that are gone or damn near Gone ... because of MAN 😭

I have a clydsdayle and he is so friendly and is 20.5 hands tall

I was actually shocked to find out, that i didn't know about many of them. Right now i have my own horse, and i've been riding for 3 years

These horses are great loverly colours how they bred like that it's a wonderful thing

Many horses in the United States end up in Mexico and Canada where they are slaughtered. Also, Premarin, an estrogen medication for hormone replacement and menopausal symptoms, is made from pregnant mares urine. The name Premarin is derived from those three words. Mares are tied so they can only stand and their urine is collected. They are deprived of adequate water and are constantly thirsty, as the more concentrated urine contains higher estrogen levels. The foals resulting from the constant pregnancies are hauled off to slaughter houses where they become, usually, pet food. Sorry, but more people need to know this.-+

I love horseback riding it is amazing and so fun

In 1951 when I was four years old I begin riding in a fenced block on a main street in Seattle, Rainier Ave. My beginning jumping lessons were at a Seattle barn. I've mostly ridden in Bridle Trails State Park. It was seemingly endless in those days as no roads or buildings surrounded it. Joni Johnson of Pearceville, AZ breeds both Peruvian Passos and Passo Finos. Their gait is very comfortable if difficult for me to get used to aa they move differently than any horse I had ridden. Her Passo stud was brave, surefooted and very tractable. I had to put the Pass Fino into her fastest gait and was completely flummoxed by the unusual feeling.

My pony was Exmoor highland cross. He was 13'2' in height and very strong. He had zebra markings on his shoulders and legs. He was golden in colour with a broad eel strip down the centre of his back from withers to tail. My vet told me he was a throwback to ancient breeds and probably came from one of the Scottish Islands. He was probably a stallion for part of his life as had the stallions crest and thick neck. He was intelligent and a fisty ride. But very gentle to care for. Everyone loved him. He was quite a character and actually saved my life at least once. I could have been crushed as the horses galloped down the field toward me. Daniel noticed my fear and he swung around and put his ears back standing right in front of me to force the horses to gallop around us, not through us. He was kept at Keilder whilst the dam was being built and as a result, was used to anything huge. huge earthmovers vehicles and fire engines with bells rings etc., etc., nothing on the roads bothered him.

I love them Thanks for bringing these beautiful animals to our attention

I absolutely LOVE horses

Thank you for this wonderful display of beautiful horses ...I love them all

Tbh the Hackney horse is a way to show what a natural hight gate is and how big lick looks like but harmless

So beautiful i love horses

Thank you to all wonderful dedicated people who take time to take care and investigate the needs of the beautiful animals.god bless all of you and hope the viuers help to continue your compassionate work

Would love to adopt one of the mustangs here in Az. Will if I ever get my house I want SO much!!!

I love this.. thank you!

Just an FYI, sometimes numbers shrinking like with the Peruvian Paso is actually a good thing because it shows the breeders are taking better measures on both the stallions and mares for selection to improve the breed. So the numbers won’t always shrink, that’s a very popular horse and there’s a lot happening to improve them currently

I cant believe that CLYDESDALES are endangered!!!!!😭

I have 3 horses, a Irish sport, named Ibex, a shire (there quite a bit more common where I live) called Clyde, and a Appaloosa colt who hasn’t got a name so far. Ibex competes in show jumping competitions and Clyde does carting. We’ve had the colt for a couple months now, and waiting for him to settle in more before breaking him. He’s taken to Ibex like a mum though, so we got somewhere. We have a rescue filly ,who sadly got abused be her old owners, on the way for fostering, she will have to be hand reared as no one could find her mother. Shes gorgeous though, we haven’t been told her breed yet, but she stands like an Arabian and looks abit like a Morgan, and has a black/darky grey sort of coat. Assuming she is going to be dapple grey though.

Ive been riding for 8 or so years and am now a Hunter Jumper, working towards my own horse.

All are beautifull. Thank you for this program. I kove them . Lili

My Nana and Grandy had the grand champion jumper and trotter of RI for 5 years. The trotter was a Hackney, they bred and showed Hackney horses and ponies, so I was quite shocked they are on the list. How sad.

I LOVE ALL ANIMALS

Hi I have been riding for 2 years now and I love it I can cater and jump I loved this video thanks 🙏

Sorraias fell ponies and Connemaras are my favourite breeds

Thank you for mentioning the Galiceno. I was part of the people who brought them to the USA.

Awwwww all horses should be able to live a long happy life So we can’t let them go

Loved it. A friend had several horses and I really enjoyed riding them.

About a week ago my grandson came to stay with me for a week during summer break ,thought it was time he had his first experience with riding a horse he's 7 yrs old well I helped him up there and before I could say anything he had the reins scooped up and was doing pretty darn good I said Hey where'd u learn how to ride ,he smiled from ear to ear and said Matt Dillion

Informative and interesting.

I have been riding for 4 years now! Believe it or not,I have heard of ALL these rare horses. I play an online game called Star stable Online (sso), and I have my own horse. His name is Dutch, He is a Dutch warmblood standing 16.1hh and he is a steel grey! I do mainly Showjumping and cross country, but I use him for pony clubs as well.

I grew up with sheltland ponies. I had one that was a paint until I was 8.

I Love horses!

Yes, I have ridden a horse. I was first put on a horse at the age of two. I can’t ride anymore as I have allergies and asthma. I get really sick just from riding.

I rode a Shetland pony until I was eight years old, her name was Princess, she was all black and mean, she would try everything to get me off her back and hurt me many times including breaking my elbow when I was in the first grade. I loved her

We had a small horse farm 30 years ago and had tri colored appaloosas and those who were very much like the tiger horses here. They had striped hooves and a scalara which is called the human eye and the modeling. My daughter trained barrel racing horses and it was wonderful to ride them with my hands stretched out int he air and by my legs give them signals to walk trot canter and whoa. She then would get ont hem and run them top speed in racing. We had quarter horses, appaloosas and a saddle bred, it was wonderful. My daughter still trains them and sold one for six figures.

I used to ride horses. I took classes on riding them. I never owned any horses, though. After I fell off a horse, I stopped going horseback riding. The reason why: I fractured my arm, got a nasty, bloody scrape, my whole body hurt very bad, and I hit my head very hard on the hard sand. Even though I dont ride horses anymore, I still love them!

Thank you,I enjoyed this program about horses, I pray that all the horses come back strong it would be sad if we would lose any more. They are such beautiful animals.

The faroese horse, which tecknically is a pony breen, had less the 100 indeviduals left 2 years ago. I don't know the current precise numbers, but hopefully they are closer to 100 today

I grew up on the back of a horse, I traded, broke, and trained. I have forgotten more about horses than most people will ever know. But if things keep going the way they are? They may be the next race cars and tractors of the future. Hope people learn about fast breaking, we still have alot of mustang out there. Not joking by the way.

I started riding horses at five but I started doing lessons when I was I’m now 22 and still riding

I started riding at 7, my grandpa got me a older Appaloosa mare named Rico Britches aka Tico. I had her till I was 15 then they sold my horse and I only rode a handful of times again. I showed during those years in western classes mostly for 4-H club. I also bred and training miniatures with my aunt for a few years. In 07 I was the manager of a horse farm for retired show animals. I didn't ride just cared for them.

This video was extremely interesting and informative. Thank you. I love horses.

I have been riding for a year and a half and I just got my first horse a beautiful black warmblood

Those animals r so pretty. I love them all

‘Broooood mares’ 😂 I can’t! 😂

My grandfather had a lot of horses. When we moved down here close to him he sent us two horses one named Ashes and one named moonshine. We enjoyed riding them but would have preferred to have had a saddle. They're back bones are painful for your lower end especially if you're a female. The one I like the most that was shown on this episode was the Zorse. Those beautiful zebra stripes just got to me I guess ' but I think they're awesome I would love to see one in real life. The Clydesdale and the horses with feathers on their feet are so beautiful what I wouldn't do to have horse's in my life. One more time ( but I live ) dead center in town, with a small yard and am disabled and I Know I couldn't take care 😘 of them properly. Thank YOU SO Much to the WHOLE TEAM of WORLD HORSE WELFARE, and ALL the people, such as (but not limited to the others who helped and ALL of the professionals that give freely of personal plus those who have re-homed an animal from these types of places. You are ALL HEROES IN MY BOOK 📖. May GOD bless you and your loved ones these beautiful, bright animals

I've ridden all my life. I can't go a day without thinking about my beloved first horse, Blue. I was 10 the year Blue got hurt. He some how managed to get his left front leg stuck in our cable fence and he was badly injured, he was hurt for no longer than 7 weeks when we took him to a big equine vet a state away and got the news that he was going to have to be put down. That was the worst news ever as he had been my horse since I was 1 or 2 years old. Latter that year I decided that I needed another because riding makes me who I am. I stared riding one of my grandpa's horses Green. Green can be trouble some a he sometimes acts like colt even though he will be turning 13 this year. On this day I currently own Green and he is the light of my life.

horses are so much bigger than you expect them to be, everytime I’ve been in the same pen as a horse Ive always been nervous lol they’re so much bigger than I am and so powerful it’s always made me a little nervous around them, plus I grew up with my grandfather who was bitten by every single horse he ever came near 😂

There is a correction that needs to be made regarding your comment on the Peruvian Paso. It DOES NOT HAVE A BOUNCING GAIT. It has lateral movement, meaning . . . It moves like this. Right fore, right rear, left fore and lastly left rear. You will feel a slight jiggle jiggle in your butt going left to right but the gait will be smooth and not bouncy. Bouncy refers to the regular horses that move diagonally. The Paso is awaited breed. These breeds move laterally

The abaco barbs are unfortunately already extinct.

Our hackney pony was our all around go to. She was beating Quarter Horses in the barrels at 20 years old. She would take unknowing subjects for a ride back to the barn at home. LOL!

We owned horses and worked with them. My mom and dad came from two different perspectives mechanistic or relational. Seeing horses as teammates personalities and co-workers is the perspective that I most valued. Just as people can be treated as disposable replaceable resources so can horses and vice versa. But when a work relationship gives you meaning it enriches your entire life same with the horse in that type of situation. It's hard to explain the sense of camaraderie and friendship but it's also a lifestyle that shapes your life and choices in owning a horse. As local farm economies have disappeared it seems like many horses have disappeared before them. I fear what's really disappearing is the relationship and connection to the Earth that each breed is a Testament to. Once lost its many many times harder to repeat and recover from it

I love Icelandic ponies could you feature them please if you haven't yet.
