I dont think you should show big lick without talking about how abusive it is

SHAME on you for showing Tenn. Walkers doing the Big Lick. The horses shown in the BL endure enormous cruelty to create flashy gaits. Almost all of the BL Tenn. Walkers end up with terrible joint and back problems not to mention emotional stress from the soring, heavy shoes and stacks on their feet. Many animal rescue groups have been working for years to stop the Blick Lick shows. You should not be promoting this form of animal abuse.

Shame on you for showing TWH in big lick mode. There have been years of attempts to outlaw this barbaric and painful practice. These are some of the most loving, loyal and kind horses. At least a disclaimer about the Big lick shows would have enlightened others.

Big Lick should be outlawed.

The big lick is a cruel and abusive for the Tennessee Walker.

When you are describing the Tennessee Walking Horse, you are showing The Big Lick. This is the most abusive practice off these beautiful horses! We are trying to stop this barbaric practice here in Tennessee. The BIG LICK is cruel and involves soring the horses pasterns, using chains and nailing stacks (heavy weights) on their front hooves. Please edit this out of this video. Do your research. This is not ethical and is destroying this beautiful Tennessee Walking Horse.

Big lick with Tennessee walking horses is extreme abuse of the horses. They are literally tortured to walk with that abnormal gait. Big lick shows should be banned and the practice made illegal. It’s horrible what happens to these beautiful and kind animals. People who do big lick are monsters.

You really need to do your due diligence, the Tn Walking horse has been exploited and cruelly abused to exaggerate the high step with inhumane actions by owners that have all but ruined the breed's proformance and rightly so

I really despise these channels who steal videos of other content providers and then randomly put them together to talk about horse breeds that they actually know nothing about. For one thing, the premise is all wrong. Why list them in the order of the most expensive horse breeds when he knows nothing about them? There are so many errors in this, and I'm only half way through the video. A Fresian horse does not cost less than an Appaloosa, for example. They are much more rare. Also, why are Mustangs even included in this list of horses? They are the least expensive horse ever. A mustang can be adopted for as low as $25. Regarding Standardbreds, he can't even pronounce their name correctly. He says they're used under harness, but he fails to show one in a harness pulling a sulky that they are best known for. Plus he shows random pictures of horses that are not even pure Standardbreds on Amish farms and in colors that they are not known for. Also, he showed a clip of a Tennessee Walking Horse in the midst of one of the warmblood breeds, and then said that an Oldenburg is a short breed with short legs! What?! The largest horse I ever sat on was an Oldenburg that was over 18 hands tall. This is just a short list of the errors in this video.

"This Amazing Horse Looks Like Typical Horse Until He Turns His Head" Then doesn't show the horse with its head turned.

As much as you appear to care for horses, I was shocked to see the footage of the Big Lick horses in the Tennessee Walker footage. It is so very cruel.

The manes on those Gypsy Vanners are spectacular!

Friesian is my favorite....such kind personalities. I road one in the snow on my 50th birthday.

Left out that Tennessee walkers are tortured to make them lift their feet super high, their feet are weighed down (you can see the horse with weights on its feet in this video) or there feet are spiked to create mass pain so they will pick up their feet higher.

I feel so sorry for those Tennessee horses

I am very surprised that one of the oldest, most beautiful and most versatile breeds in Europe has not been mentioned: The Lusitano, a purebred Lusitano from Portugal. A saddle horse that dates back 5000 years! The Lusitano is an example of national export: Northern Europe, Latin America and Asia absorb 80% of the purebred Lusitano herd. The other 20% stays in Portugal. The price of a horse varies from 15 thousand to one million euros. To avoid confusion, Portugal is a Sovereign State of the Iberian Peninsula, not a Spanish province!

I'm very partial to Morgans they have a special place in my heart as to how tough, versatile and smart they are.

I was enjoying your clip until you show the clips from the big lick I wanted to be sick

My two dream horses are Fresian and arabian . I was lucky to own a pure beed Arabin horse, his name Jahyl. I am now 84 yrs old and cannot ride anymore, but i still dream of freasian horses. I just love them all.

ok confused by the bleeps , have we been banned from saying world war ? so weird . it happened all this sensoring words is stupid . Beautiful horses .

Friesian horses for me , I think they are the most beautiful !

Horses are beautiful regardless of breed

Frisian are one of my favorites, I love the big horses with furry feet. I'm a big guy so I'd need a big horse.

I was amused when they had the Shire up, and were also showing the Brabant, etc as well

I love the Clydesdale strong and gentle in a graceful way.

There is no typical horse.. they are all amazing unique and beautiful!

A lot of the comments remind me of something that a horse owner knows but others may not: there is something unique about the mutual love and respect that some owners and horses achieve. I’ve owned different kinds of animals, common and uncommon. The bond that can occur between a horse and its owner is different, it’s an amazing experience. It is a mix of pure love and joy with trust, where the horse seems to think “you want me to…. - OK, we can do that.” Or “OK, I’ll do anything for you.” I baby-sat for my mare, every day from my foal’s Day2 on, until we could safely halter him. The sweetest grass was outside the fenced area. Everyday I would bring my mare’s lead into the fenced area, fasten it to her halter and lead her to the gate. She looked back, saw me with her little guy, and she’d go right through, starting right be the fence/gate till the foal was comfortable. He was used to me that very day, and mama just watched. Some of my best memories were the bond we 3 shared. Horse life is a great way to grow up!

All beautiful, magnificent animals! I prefer the heavy Draft horses, but love any breed. Just magnificent animals.❤️❤️❤️

There is nothing more beautiful than a horse.

the Tennesse Walker is tortured to make this bizarre and painful gait. The acceptance of this practice should be outlawed.

The Morgan's founding sire was named Figure owned and raised by Justin Morgan, a school teacher. Good gravy, who is doing or not doing your checke

12 min 36 sec, the STANDARDBRED ARE GREAT PETS! SOME ARE BOMB PROOF! I saw a Standardbred waiting to race, hooked up to the buggy. Standing still!!!! I worked with them over 10 years! BEAUTIFUL!!!

Wow such beautiful horses ❤

The spot about the Tennessee walker made me sick to my stomach. This is the most abused horse ever. The shows should be banned and anyone involved with them should be thrown in jail. That's just my opinion.

Freshens are all gorgeous

I LOVE HORSES ..however I was not impressed with this video.. Why the bleeping of certain words? Why include the Big Lick for Tennessee Walkers? The purest form of torture.. Lots of other questions but not going into them..did not like this video at all..I have had many horses and this was not to their credit

I’ve had the same concerns as the the writer about the Tennessee Walker. I have had Tennessee Walkers, who had a smooth gate without having had the abuse to create their comfortable ride. However they did not have the high-step action of the arena horses. Mine were used for trail rides and field trials with our English Pointers and worked very well in these circumstances. The abuse of the arena Walkers should be monitored and animal abuse laws enforced.

You kind of went back and forth, but thank you for (somewhat) calling this one by its proper name. It officially is called "Lippizan" by the Spanish Riding School in Vienna. In Germany, they were called Lippizzaner during WWII, but since Germany and Russia tried to kill them off, I prefer Lippizan. The Russian soldiers wanted to eat them, and Germany wanted them because, well, Hitler was crazy and wanted to kill practically everything. Two American generals, Reed and Patton, helped to evacuate the horses to different farms until the end of the war. The first horse my sister owned was a registered Tennessee Walker named Tradewind. She was 16, and found this horse somehow for 700.00. This was 1957, so that was a small fortune. He "had fallen and scarred his ankles so bad, that he could not be shown any more." Right. Someone had screwed up his soring and scarred him up. Anyway, my parents ended trading a piece of property in Houston for him. He was magnificent. He was gaited, and was about 17 hands, so to mount him, she could tap the backs of his knees, and he would stretch out so she could reach. Jenni wasn't an accomplished rider, and he knew it. He was always so gentle with her, but I was 4years old, and when I was on him, the first few times, Jenni would lead him, but quickly found out it wasn't necessary. I remember being so proud, me riding Tradewind! He walked extra slowly, and no matter how hard I would kick, it didn't faze him. He would calmly make the round of our driveway and stop when we reached Jenni. He was a big sorrel gelding. I fully believe , that short of slaughter, soring is the most horrible thing possible that a horse endures. It eventually caused his death. My dad was off from work that day, mom was at work, Jenni and I were at school. Daddy was doing yard work, so he staked Tradewind out in a part of the yard he hadn't cut yet, so he coul have some fresh grass. After a little while he heard stomping, snorting, noises. Right when he turned, he saw Tradewind pull the stake out ring and take off, with the chain rattling behind him. Before Dad could get to him, he took off up the driveway. WWE lived at the back of a country subdivision on 3 1/2 acres. At the front of the subdivision, there were SP railroad tracks. Right beyond that was Hyw 59. Dad tore in the house for hid keys, got in the car, and started praying. He got as far as the mile to the tracks, and there was a train stopped. It was only about 6 cars, and at the 2nd car from the caboose, a group of men was looking at something. Dad went to them, and there lay Tradewind, with his head bent backwards over his spine. It was obvious that he was dead. The man in the caboose was shaking, and was saying he'd never seen anything like it. "The horse never even slowed. He hit that car, full speed, head first. Dad explained what happened, and went home to get a bed sheet to temporarily cover him. Jenni's bus went right by where his body was, and it was too late to call anyone to have it removed. As soon as she got home, Mom and Dad were sitting at the table, waiting. Jenni immediately said, "It's Tradewind, isn't it?" And started to cry. She said she could just feel it, and when she saw the sheet, and just knew. In the meantime, Dad had gone back to the tracks, and was looking for snakebites, lumps, lesions, anything that could have caused the sheer panic Tradewind was in. Our neighbor went with him, and he was the first to notice the redness and swelling in his ankles. "What's this?" pointing at the horse's ankles. Without looking, Dad was telling him about the soring. "Does it always look like this?" Dad looked down, and saw the horrible redness and swelling, and was horrified. It seems that Tradewind had stepped in a patch of nettles, and the pain was so intense in the scarring, we think it brought back memories of the soring. Rather than endure that again, he had to get away. The vet confirmed that it was nettles, and agreed about the soring memories. RIP, Tradewind. You were a great horse. And when Jenni passed away 3 years ago, I know you were waiting for her at the Rainbow Bridge.

Jessi from Australia: I am appalled by what was being done to those Tennessee Walkers! What the hell is that about? It looks abusive and painful. Horses don't walk like that! If I could have another horse it would be a Shire or Percheron; I love the Heavy Horses and would , if I had the money, be overjoyed to maintain their breeds. All in all, no horse should ever be mistreated or sent to be killed at an abattoir or treated like those poor TWs. Repulsive human cruelty.

I am in love with the Andalusian, Friesian, and the Gypsy Vanner. Of the large, gorgeous, breeds -- these are my three favourites. I was gifted a ½ Morgan / ½ Quarter for my 14th birthday. She was a trained Barrel Racer and I rode her in our Santa Fe Junior Rodeo Association Gymkana's. I trained her to become accustomed to English voice commands as well as the gaits... adding the commands of Lope, and her favourite -- Break Gait. I even trained her to jump (over small jumps). She was extremely intelligent and easy to work with. ❤😍

These horses are my fav's because of the dressage they do, with their gorgeous black hair etc.❤

Another beautiful specimen saw a golden beauty this morning

Morgan, Appaloosa, Clydesdale, Arabian, Thoroughbred, Quarter Horse, Andalusian, and Hanoverian are a few of the breeds I have had the privilege to ride in my life. I am partial to my love of Appaloosa but I love them all!

Gypsy vanner, I love them

Gypsy is absolutely beautiful

I love all horses, and I’ve ridden many different types, but a few have stood out for me in the breeds, Arabian, Morgan, Lipizzaner and of course Clydesdale, Friesian, and Gypsy Vanner, I once rode a purebred Arabian, which was unique and very intelligent, but was a bit difficult to ride because its rump was higher in back than its chest, which was lower. Another was an Arab/Morgan cross, named Tony, my favorite of all, and which was one of the best horses I ever rode, and we had that connection. Tony had a natural rocking-chair lope and could cover long distances with it, until too many riders were on him and ruined it and all his training. He was a riding club horse, and the only concern was money and riders, but not the rest of it towards the horse’s wellbeing. The owner was willing to sell him to me, because he was fighting other riders, but Tony never fought me, we had that special relationship between horse and rider. He would respond well when I asked him to do something and I learned to be a better rider because of Tony’s performance and the variance of leg pressures I used. I just wish I could have bought this horse, but I didn’t have a place to keep it near me. Many riders ruined his mouth by pulling on the reins and whipping him even though he never needed any of this. All this abuse ruined his mouth, natural abilities and previous training abilities. Tony died one winter in the mountains because of loneliness (Tony needed to be shown love and treated with kindness, this he never got), plus he refused to go back to the barn with the other horses. I actually cried over losing him. Tony only needed to have someone to love him for himself and be good to him, this he never got. I still miss him to this day. My other favorite was Dixie, a mare and just a regular workhorse (unknown lineage) on a ranch where I would go to with my parents, but she was very exceptional, and gave her all when I rode her (we connected). Others who rode her were forcing her to do things she shouldn’t have done otherwise, she was in foal and riders were kicking her so hard in the stomach area, and whipping her, showing off for that matter, showing off how much they could make her work. With that scenario, I became afraid for her and her foal. Afterwards when I got back on her, 😢she was limping, went lame because of NO shoes and riding hard over stones on the gravel road which hurt and bruised her hooves. I was too young at the time to understand this, I was only 8 or 10 years old, but through the years and being more around horses, it made me realize how more special Dixie meant to me and how important it was to watch out for hoofs and legs, and behavior changes due to unseen or unexpected circumstances or consequences of riding blindly without caring about them. That same year, I was told Dixie and her foal were sold and it broke my heart. I cried for her, because the last time I rode her that day, she was running the length of the fence, stopped at the gate and looked at us leaving until she couldn’t see me anymore, all this before turning back towards the other horses. I still miss her also. My two favorite horses, Dixie and Tony. Another I rode was Tilly, an old thoroughbred racehorse and possibly a standard bred mix, she loved to run, but also was 22 years old and not allowed to do so because of her legs and lungs being compromised, but still a very good horse and she felt my riding desires. I had to hold her back some from running. Tony, the first horse mentioned, and Tilly were both together and riding club horses, no love here for them, only the concern was money and riders, including many who really didn’t know anything about horses, and treated them as machines, riding them hard on gravel roads, and pavements, unmercifully and unmindful to their horses needs and safety. Many came back hard breathing and sweating so much it ruined their lives, legs and health. Tony came back many times lame from running over hard surfaces and pavements, others had difficulty breathing or walking again. These riders only concerned themselves going somewhere fast, but NOT about the care of the horses they were riding, nor for it’s health or safety reasons. All this changed my life with the attitudes and ignorance with uncaring riders and towards the proper treatment, training and care for horses and their health, with this in mind, I learned a lot over the years about horses in general. May God bless all those who treat their animals with the dignity and respect they deserve, showing them love, kindness and compassion and an understanding and caring heart with those they take care of. Life is sacred and precious and should always be given the dignity and respect it deserves. All are equal in God’s eyes, and there is only one God and creator of all the universe. Humanity has lost its way. ❤️🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

Budweiser no longer has their horses. They were all sold to German owners. As well as the wagons. We may never see them again in this country. A great loss I was fortunate to have seen them up close when they toured my city.

I own a Friesian he's now 20yrs old I've never had a better horse, such a character and gentle horse, paid £3500 for him age 2yrs .he rides and drives. Not any more I've retired him.😊

Beautiful.

It's Standardbred. There are TWO types...Trotters and Pacers. Trotters diangle legs move in unison (hind left with right front). Pacers the legs on the same side of the body move in unison.

No mention of the Ahkal Teke. This horse is probably one of the foundation desert breeds used in the thoroughbred, and definitely one of the rarest breeds. I have an Ahkal Teke-Appaloosa cross. The Nez Prez started using this cross to bring their horses back to the historic endurance base they were originally known for.

Shame there was no mention of the Australian Waler. This loyal and brave horse was originally bred in New South Wales and carried our mounted soldiers in the first World War. They are still found in Australia today.

Is there a more beautiful creature than a horse! So graceful so majestic! Should never be abused and should be let run wild as they deserve! Px

I’m surprised that the Ahkal-Teke horse wasn’t mentioned. It’s one of the oldest horses out there and the basis for Thoroughbred horses. They are stunning animals.

Sure would be nice if the horses you talked about were ACTUALLY on screen. Seeing all these beautiful equines is great but your education factor is a minus 2.

Love them all 🎉

We had clydesdales on the farm. On top of pulling a plow they were also saddle horses, except we didn't own any saddles. They are great to ride bareback.

Beautiful horses 🐎 ❤

Love horses :D Great list! Sad to see Akhal-Teke didn't make it though!

I have always owned Quarter horses but really love the Fresiens and Tennessee walking horses also.

I love horses.

Tennessee Walking horses need to be protected from the cruel practice of soring. It is so extreme that the stress shortens the horses lives. There is no excuse for the torture these poor animals are subjected to.

I agree I was waiting to see it at first 10, considering one was discovered in a band of Alberta Wildies. She was transferred to the Ahkal teke breeding ranch across the USA border.

Such magnificent animals how I love them to my very core, thank you!!

#14 - my favourite.

Love haflingers. The ideal family horse.

Owned & rode Tennessee Walkers since my folks bought me my 1st for my 13th birthday some fifty years ago. Holy crap didn't realize it was that long ago! Anyhow, best horses ever. You cannot get that smooth ride anywhere else.

Just another great creation from THE MASTER.....THEY ARE SO ELEGANT...

I love the beautiful golden horse that I'm sure is rare . You didn't show him , Clydesdale is my next favourite

My favorite is the freishan and all draft horses. My dad and i had a few before he died. We also had a percheron belgian mix and this horse was huge. Any draft horse is intimidating to stand beside. But i love all horses. We had a tennessee walker an appilousa afew quarter horses and a mustang. They all were beautiful animals,i forgot to mention we also had a few mules. I like a mule for trail riding they seem to be very surefooted. But l9ve them all.❤

So at both 21:00 AND 21:19 you show us the BRABANT and nobody says anything? A BRABANT is NOT a Shire.

The Appaloosa was created and bred by the Nez Perce Indians of Idaho. I've had two of them. Both were Appy/Thoroughbred mixes. Fast and as close to a dog as a horse can be. Lol. I loved them dearly. Oh,and some of the white horses in the Andalusian segment were actually Lipazans. And they are the ones,of the Spanish Riding Academy,who started Dressage. With their most famous of their moves Cabriolet. It's Standardbred. Not Standardbreed. ** that show horse,the Tennessee Walker,has been forced into the walk you are showing here. Look at the boots it has to wear to get it to do that walk. It's extremely painful for the animal and highly unnatural as well! Also,to get their tail to hang up there like a flag their tails have been docked. Which is when it has been broken in the middle and they are trained to hold what's left of it high.

The Morgan horse is my favorite. The original name of the first Morgan horse owned by Justin Morgan was Figure. Then he was renamed after his owner.

What about 'until he turns his head'? I don't get it the allusion to the Frisian's face. Next, WHY are words bleeped out that I must assume shouldn't be censored? Makes no 'cense'.

Beautiful horse.

Such a marvelous summation of so many magnificent creatures. Lippizaners and Arabians have the most beautiful profiles! I loved the biographies of each breed you selected. Hurray for Budweiser and their breeding programs.

We had a registered Morgan 17 hands high. Big boy!

My first horse was a mustang from the Nevada desert. He was also my first love.❤

Wild horses are living for hundreds of years on cumberlin island in Georgia !!

The most expensive horse i remember was a Pasifino . O saw a stallion at T.Ed Garrison arena. This horse had so much spirit they had him on four lead ropes. He came out with his head hogh and look like he was doing a shuffle with hos feet. They said he was worth 4.1 million dollars. They had mare horses of the same breed there also and would put a glass of wine on the riders head and it would take off and not spill a drop at the other end of the arena the rider would kill the glass of wine. The stallion was solid bkack with a white star right between his eyes. When the light would hit him he looked blue ill tell you it was one of the most beautiful horses i have ever laid eyes on. I hope i spelled the breed correctly Paso-fina i think not sure.

Okay, I rode for over a decade, I had to stop because riding is an expensive hobby. I never owned a horse, but I would be happy to buy a 'mutt' horse because, like rescues everywhere, there is over breeding of horses. Because cats are less expensive to keep, I chose to rescue them and I've been known to fix random cats that walked across my yard one too many times... really. My favorite horse, okay, pony, to ride was a mix breed mare who obviously had quite a bit of quarter horse in her. She was 13.3 hands, a buckskin with a bald face. She was bred once on purpose and once by accident. Both of her fillies were palominos with bald faces. Just a couple of things... why did you bleep the word "war"? Also, they aren't "Standardbreed" they are "Standardbred." I just wanted to reach through the screen and slap you!

the "trekkaner" is a trakehner. named after the region they came from

ferisian is my favorite and one of the most beautiful horses.

I like horses period , but am impressed with the metalic goldencoats of the ahkel teke . And ive heard the american curly is super cool in that they are hypoalergenic.

The Spanish horse riding school uses Analucian horses, the Vienna (Austria) horse riding school uses Lipizzaner. Lipizzaner originate from Lipica, Croatia❤

I love the Arabian horses, just they look so smart

I’m glad that he said it in hands and not feet

Ils sont splendides majestueux sublimes des merveilles ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Interesting video. Horses are amazing. I’m just wondering why the editor bleeped out the two mentions of WW1/WW2? Are we not to speak of these wars anymore?

All gorgeous horses but there is something about the Friesian that makes me love them so much. Honorable mention to the Camargue horse, from a region in the south of France. Small white horses used for ranching cattle.

Horses were my first love in life. Although I'll gladly love up on any one of them, great or small, I became a huge fan of Arabians after falling in love with Walter Farley's "The Black Stallion."

Glad it came up as a recommended video. Well done, to the point and no fluff. Kept my attention. I owned a horse as a kid. Beautiful animals. Too bad during your story you have to bleep out historical events. It doesn't make them go away.

They also didn't mention the Peruvian Dos Pasos. Another horse with only 23 vertebrae.

The head Vet and “The Incredible Dr. Pol” TV show namesake, Dr. Jan Pol, has Friesian Horses. He brought two of them over to the U.S. from the Netherlands, where he came from. And his wife, Diane Pol, bought a pregnant Freisian from a local auction. She had a beautiful colt, then later had a filly. I love those horses as well as all the horses shown in this video 🥰‼️ I had an Arabian Quarter-horse that was beautiful 🥰‼️. He was that reddish brown color (forgot the name of the color), had a beautiful black mane and tail and four perfect white stockings and a full white blaze on the front of his face. His name was Monroe and I loved that horse. Only one I ever owned.

I have rescued three Tennessee Walking horses. Saved one from being shown. They all became pasture puppies who lived out their lives in horse paradise. Their smooth natural gait is amazing. Pushing them to hit the big lick is pure abuse. Period. My current horse is a Paso Fino and walking horse gelding who will be thirty this year. I caught him the day he was born. He is my silly, smart, gorgeous baby. 🐴

Which. horses are still subjected to “soring”? The horrible practice of hurting their legs to make them walk a certain way?

Why are these horses so expensive when they're a Dying Breed and there's people out there that are willing to help them survive

Dressage started because the officers trained their mounts to avoid obstacles in a field during battles, get you information strate

Arabians are by far my favorite. You can develop a cloer partnership with an; Arabian than with any other breed and they are unbelievably kind.

The most expensive a quarter horse stallion I’ve seen is one for 26 million dollars. The horse is named a quarter horse because it’s the fastest in a quarter mile.
