- The American saddlebred horse is a flashy horse--especially in the 5-gait classes. This video was shot at the Charity Carousel Horse Show 2024. Watch as these horses go through their paces at the walk, trot, slow gait, canter, and rack.

are they wearing those TORTURE DEVICES aka: "STACKS"? (We can already see the purposefully cut tendons in the tails, so, we know hanky panky are being performed behind the scenes!)
No they are not. These are American Saddlebred horses, NOT Tennessee Walking horses. What you see on their feet are called quarter boots, they are there to protect the horses feet from over reaching and striking the front feet with the back. They are not kept on, just put on when working and then taken off.
Saddlebreds do NOT wear stacks. Never have and never will. They're not allowed, period.
It looks like a couple of other people have already responded to your comment.
@@XxShellyW13xX thanks for letting us know about that.
@MagnificentHorses you are most welcome!
Whew I couldn't choose a winner 🏆 🐴 the dark grey was really going for it 😁🤣 The rack is so fast - I love watching riders ride their racking horse along a straight long surface 🏎
I agree that all three horses were close as far as quality goes. I have a feeling the judges liked the speed of the one that was the winner. That was definitely the fastest, like I remarked a time or two in the video.
#1 is the one that I picked for #1!!! Saddlebreds are my absolute favorite breed of all!! Thank you for showing them ❤❤❤
You're welcome and I'm glad you were able to pick the winner!
These 3 riders have some bad equitation. They all are slamming on the horses backs, no smooth transitions. And the riders look hunched over. Horses are counter bent while cantering. 🫣 I rode saddle seat in my younger years and yes, it was the hardest thing I ever did. But I put the work into my riding, including transitions. We made a beautiful team.
Thanks and I wish I could've gotten a video of you riding your horse. Was yours a Saddlebred?
@@MagnificentHorses no he was an Arabian. I wish I also had a video.
@@michellesink-davis great… Arabians are awesome horses, too, as you can tell by all the videos of them on my channel.
Beautiful horses. ❤️🐎
Thanks, they sure are!
Hi, thank you so much for posting this. What a joy it must be to own and ride an American Saddlebred. They are so flashy and what a well deserved winner, he is absolutely gorgeous. I didn't even know about the 5 gates. Is this something that is natural, or is it training? Thank you. 🐎😍
Thanks for your comments and I'm glad you liked the video! The regular gaits of walk, trot, and canter are natural, of course, but the slow gait and rack are trained. However, I think saddlebreds have more of a natural inclination for those to gaits than most other breeds.
@@MagnificentHorses That's fascinating, thank you for your reply. I look forward to more of your lovely videos. You have a great channel.
@@MR-ly4xt you're welcome and thank you for your kind words!
I am partial but I do not think there is anything more beautiful than an American Saddlebred. 5 gaited horses are a blast to ride. Saddlebred horses really seem to enjoy showing off too.
Thanks and I am pretty partial to saddlebreds too, especially because I used to own one a long time ago. I never had the privilege of riding a 5 gaited horse but I'm glad it sounds like you have been able to do that!
American Saddlebreds are known as the "Peacock" of horse breeds because it seems as though they are showing off 😊
@@XxShellyW13xX for sure!
This is like the gaits Icelandic horses do.
I never thought about that but you're right! Ditto for the Paso Fino ponies, although their stride is much shorter.
These horses are so beautiful but I hate when the riders are hunched over with bad equation. And when they surgically raise the tails is just ew. But I love saddlebreds!! Im starting saddleseat soon and I’m excited.
@@fleabitten_eq very nice and good luck with your saddle seat lessons!
@@MagnificentHorses thanks!
@@fleabitten_eq you're welcome!
WTF is wrong with their tails??
Nothing is wrong with their tails.
@@MagnificentHorses There sure IS! I looked up what these "people" do to make those horses tails look that way! "A veterinarian performs a relatively simple surgery where two small incisions are made to muscles on the underside of the tail, then the tail is put in a set that holds it upright so that it heals in the higher carriage." From Horse Illustrated Its not different then the cruel practice of cropping a doberman's ears!
@@RayaStarr actually, that is banned in most states and the process now is to stretch (much as a dancer does to become more limber) the tail on a daily basis so that it can go up into this position for shows. The information you received is dated.
They naturally have a lifted tail. But, they alter them for them to stick up. A lot like how people crop Dobermans ears to stick up. Criminal.
Why do they sit so far back on the horse's back?
@@kimfromnewzealand8768 that's a good question. It's to give the horses a more flashy action when they move.
🥰
a beautiful breed. a few have the inward curving ears, similar to the Marwari. such a pity this breed is subjected regularly to abuse and cruelty.
Thanks, I never noticed that about the ears but I'll go back and look for that.
I think this looks very unnatural for the horses..Its not beautyful.looks more like torture in my eyes.
I think the key words in your comment are that it looks like torture in your eyes. I can assure you that is not the case for the horses. They love to run and show off. The weighted shoes accentuate their natural movement. I once asked farrier if those caused any harm and he said no.
@@MagnificentHorses 😂 Ask a veterinarian. Not a farrier.
Maybe the riders can come troll their horses if they learned how to sit, post and balance. All I see is vultures/riders flopping all over the place. Poor horse's backs and none of this is natural but beaten in means tortured, tails broken and chains. No, these beaten horses are not having fun but are in pain. This type of riding, showing, should be banned.
You make a lot of assumptions there, most of which are false.
You do make a lot of unproven assumptions. American Saddlebreds are not beaten, tortured, or have their tails broken or tendons cut. The walk, trot, and canter are natural gaits in every horse on earth. Riders are not flopping all over their horse's backs, but posting to the gaits. They have artificial tail pieces attached to the horse's tails at the highest point possible, to get the highest carriage. At one time, a long time ago, their tails were cut, but that's been outlawed and banned. As for the running walk, it's a natural gait in Saddlebreds, mine did it, and he could also Rack, yet another gait that comes natural in SOME Saddlebreds. And he was never showed a day in his life. But he couldn't canter, so figure that one out. So next time you may want to do your homework and fact checking before you start throwing out assumptions.

💯 I'm glad you had the privilege of owning a saddlebred. That's really funny that it could not canter. 😂
You clearly have no idea what you are talking about. These horses are dearly loved, respected and treated well. I am going to add, that once again, you show that you do not know what you are talking about. You do not post a slow gait or rack.
@@asrotties that's right!
This is such an awkward discipline.
What do you think is awkward about it? "Awkward" is about the last word I would use to describe it.
@@MagnificentHorses I’m not sure… Something about circus music playing while slamming up and down on a horses lower spine seems awkward to me. Most of these horses retire with extreme sway back.
Tuff to watch..just bad horsemanship
@@user-fr5wl2xf5b OK thanks for that input about it.
Heart wrenching
Yuk
Did you elaborate? Why do you say yuck?
