Yay! I picked the winner this time. It was love at first sight when I saw that black horse. I really liked that there was a male rider in the class. Amazing costume as well. I can't imagine how long it must take to get horse and rider kitted up for this event. Great camera work as usual.👏

Thanks Raven! I am a little biased because I've become friends with Eddie and already did that video of his horse running in the arena at their barn. But I'm pretty sure I would've picked him as the winner anyway.

I picked the winners this time! That Reserve Champion just had a little spunk that set him apart. But, the male rider, all in black on a black steed was impressive. Good soundtrack with the video. I heard once that for a show, they put Vaseline around the eyes of the horse as "mascara" to make the eyes stand out. That's why Arabian horses often appear to have a darker area around the eye.

@MagnificentHorses 3 ай бұрын

Good call on the champion and reserve champion! I had the champion but then had about a four-way tie for second place.😂 I believe it's actually a type of oil that they put around the eyes and muzzle. But same idea as with using Vaseline.

Beautiful conformations, gaits, and immaculate grooming. The coat colors on these particular Arabians are rather plain, but they are otherwise exemplary. There are lots of excellent breeders out there with magnificent, highly typey, straight Egyptian stock that produce specimens of excellent health, impressive conformation, and stunning action and movement WITH beautiful coats as well. There's always room for improvement in any program of course.

@MagnificentHorses 3 ай бұрын

Thanks for your great and insightful comment! I think the reason for the coat colors being a little plain is because this class was for purebred Arabians and they have limited coat colors. I'm pretty sure I have at least one straight Egyptian halter class that I videoed so you can look for that coming out in the next few months. if you're subscribed or want to subscribe you will be notified when each new video comes out.

Yes, those are pads to give a little extra weight on the hooves. Those long bit shanks don't hurt unless they're pulled on too hard. I didn't see any of these horses throwing their heads around or acting up like they would if they were in pain from those bits. And every show in the world for the Arabians, Morgans, saddlebreds, and others all use bits like. Do you think they're all doing it wrong?

I love the Arabs - I own a SE myself ... I think when you reach this level they are all winners! I will note that at 1:33-1:40 it looks like NKC is 'paddling' out his feet which is why I didn't choose him for 'top' - I'm sure it must be the camera angle (?) ... Additionally, I am a fan of the natural look - the extra high head carriage and weighted feet do not, in my opinion, improve on what has been bred into the Arabs .... these poses and exaggerated movements look strange in all breeds though - its a slippery slope into sea-horse noses and big lick strides. Thanks for the video for those of us who cannot make the shows!

Why do you think their bits are brutal? They are only harsh if they are pulled on too hard. But if that happens the horse is not going to just keep running calmly and smoothly like these are. They are going to throw their heads and act up if that's the case.

I’ve had a closer look. There are weights of some type on these horse’s hooves! Are they not magnificent enough without adding weighted shoes to make them step higher, to exaggerate their step? Are you Arabian owners headed the same way as the “big lick” Tennessee Walkers? If this is what I’m seeing then shame on you, if I’m wrong I will apologize.

@MagnificentHorses 3 ай бұрын

You are right that Arabian horses look magnificent without weighted shoes but I don't think there's any doubt they look even better with them. Is there a problem that you see with them having weighted shoes? All the other breeds that are rather flashy do the same thing. Breeds like Saddlebreds, Morgans, Friesian, Hackney ponies, and more. Do you think all of them are doing it the wrong way?

@auntbeth6794 3 ай бұрын

Thank you Cindy for your persistence. Artificial alterations may be 'acceptable' according to current rules, but it's a tragic mistaken curse on the future of the breed. When people take lower quality animals and alter them to make them ☆"Winners"☆ they don't stop with just the glory and ribbons... they pass on the undesirable traits to the next generation. It would be nice if there were classes for classic Arabians and separate competition for hobby and half-Arabs. Let them be flashy as they want without endangering the linage of beauty, balance, character and intelligence.

Although this class is meant to simulate the Bedouins, it's not that exact historically. You make a good point, though, but having a black horse in the native costume classes is not a deduction in points and certainly not something that disqualifies anyone.
