I'm impressed with how well the gelding handled everything! He not only stayed remarkably calm during the stallion's "visit", but then re-focused and went right back to work on the course!
BOLT THE HORSE it was a gelding
BOLT THE HORSE It's a gelding. It's in the title. The stallion followed 'him' because he thought it was a mare but you can clearly see when he realises that the gelding was not and instead moved around to face the other horse.
BOLT THE HORSE Sorry but that doesnt mean jackshit to me right now as you are very clearly wrong. Furthermore, I can sit here and say/ type that I own 50 high-end gypsy vanners and you wouldn't know whether it was the truth because *gasp* this is the internet.
As to actually counter your point, there is no sheath visible on the stallion either so, by your logic, he's a mare? Unless you can actually give me substantial evidence as to prove this gelding is a mare, that is not just 'oh the stallion is horny uwu' or 'if I can't see it it isn't there', I suggest you sit down and let people who actually understand horse behaviour talk.
BOLT THE HORSE Nice language there, glad to know what kind of a person I'm talking to. Listen, I'm not calling you a liar but I won't blindly believe you either- don't want to mention but with a name in all caps and language that limited, I'm bound to have my doubts (not judging just stating my opinion).
Just because you can't see the sheath on the other horse doesn't mean it isn't there- I for one cannot see the sheath of either horse but am I going to go around preaching that they are lesbian mares, no! To me and alot of others, you look like a fool as you are blindly stating what you think is fact without actually doing your own research- I don't know what sort of an act your trying to pull but you are just being perceived as a brat who thinks they know everything about horses.
I'm too tired to continue this conversation, and I suppose you have your 'horse' to attend to. I wish you luck with your animals- goodbye BOLT.
BOLT THE HORSE you kinda are.People just do not want to waste their time arguing.And I think the people who actually uploaded the video and were actually there would know more than someone who just watches over the internet.
that gelding is like, "dude, what is your problem?" haha Excellent handling of the situation!
lauren sharkcry 😂😂😂😂
BOLT THE HORSE No it was a gelding.. It says so in the title
It's understandable someone fell off their horse at a show, but people need to realize stallions are much more likely to injure other horses, rather than a loose gelding or mare. If you have a stallion you need to be extra cautious and careful when in competition AND WILLING to pay for other peoples damages if your horse injures theirs.
That's stallion is like "hey, dudes are cute too!" Haha!
wintersolstice lol this made me laugh
Harmony Beasley or when they are on alert horses raise their tail so NO he was not trying to breed you idiot.
Come on man it'll only hurt for a minute
He was picking up the rider's hormones.
The rider handle the situation very well! So did her horse!
+Paula Ski thi this is not a hate comment or anything but i just wanna let you know that pulling like a crazy person is terrible and horse abuse look at the horse's face it's in pain and it panicks this is horse abuse i'm serious
horsemanship is understanding a horse and riding with pressure and not with a bit and cause pain
I'm a bit confused, Which part of the video are you talking about? Do you mean the start when she's trying to stop her horse.... The horse is going flat out heading for the next jump, and she's trying to get him to stop while watching this other horse heading straight for her... Also the horses face isn't in pain he's excited and wants to continue not stop...
Jelsa no one did even one single unnecessary thing there. NO ONE was 'pulling like a crazy person'. You read too many books and watch too many my little pony movies.
Jelsa Woods she wasn't pulling like a crazy person she was doing what's right. If you know anything about horses you would know they are herd animals and get excited when a horse is running or something
i dont get why people are commenting saying "dont take a stallion to an event if you cant control him" she fell off on course. people fall all the time, whether it be on a mare or gelding.. or even a stallion. i think control had nothing to do with this and everyone handled the situation tremendously.
Yeah people should take control of the horses except for one thing how do you control a run away stallion when he won't even let you catch him
"Boys will be boys!" over the mic killed me
Riders get dumped during competitions all the time - while riding mares, geldings, and stallions. The folks who say "if you can't control your horse, don't complete" seem to have more sanctimoniousness than sense.
You are missing the point, wilcox. Mares and geldings do not, and will not act out like studs will, and the dangers of stallions are legend. Thankful the rider and her mount were so calm and in control. For those of you saying, "oh he figured out it was a gelding and backed off..." no he didn't. Sick and tired of people who know nothing about horses acting like they are experts.
lekkki1 so anyone with whom you disagree knows nothing about horses? A more moderate tone might be appropriate, as well as anger management counseling.
Why the hostile tone, simply because I am interested in a different point than you are, lekkki1? Is yours the only point worth discussing? And how do you know that the people who disagree with you "know nothing about horses"? Seems like you might be missing the point of message boards yourself.
I love the way the gelding starts calmly eating the bushes.
I hope she did not get any time penalties for that
Superstar Bonnie I'm pretty sure they count that as a outside interference and you go back a fence or two(depending on the obstical and situations) with time compensation or you completely restart with no penalties, like you didn't even start the course.
Superstar Bonnie no they would have paused it and waited for her to clear at least one to refocus then unpause the clock
classy gelding and rider.. and actually class stud! he didn't act that horrid for what a totally isolated stud may be like. kudos to all involved.
Imagine if that was a mare....
If the gelding was a mare
+Lps daisychain Being a gelding unfortunately doesn't keep a randy stallion from having a go. :P
oh yeah big time that stallion would be Bugging the living hell out of the other horse.
no that horse was gay all gelding are gay ,they cant have sex so they take it from the rear
junito1957 wtf?
thats the calmest gelding ever! i was expecting for it to end with extreme bite marks on both horses!
Nikki Kasyan Ikr, I thought they were about to rear on each other and start fighting
Jeanette Vasko Horses only actually fight as a last resort. They’re prey animals so being injured is too big a risk. This appeared to be an under-socialized stallion who saw another horse and wanted to meet them. He likely thought the gelding was a mare at first, as evident by his nickering. Also, even real fights between stallions usually only end in a few bruises and scrapes. Serious injuries are extremely rare.
people need to learn to get control of thier stallions before bringing them to public shows, if your horse injures someone else's then you could be facing a lawsuit
How would you control a horse you've fallen off of?
Fallen off or not I'd say somebody needs to do some home schooling or something with that stallion. Accidents can happen agreed.
nice response, I was thinking the same.
the rider probably fell off
What are they supposed to do? Magically tell their horse to not have natural instinct? Things happen. Stop acting all high and mighty like things never happen to you.
Everything was handled as it should have been. Once the stallion figured out the horse was a gelding he did nothing other than stand. In all honesty his "rearing" was probably a sign of wanting to play. I've seen it many times. As he did not actually strike nor bite the gelding. I have a friend who owns and has owned many stallions, mares and geldings and every one of her stallions is very polite and acts more like a gelding than a stallion. My old trainers stallions are the same way. It all comes down to handling, training, temperament, etc. Not all stallions are "bad" as most people like to think. I'm not saying this to get a hundred comments back trying to start an argument or start a "I know everything" war. I'm just stating what I have experienced. Nothing more.
Thank you!
***** It also helped that the rider stopped their horse, a lot of stallions get more excited when chasing a target. If your stud is hesitant to jump a mare then asking her to move back and forth will often get him riled up enough to get it done. I use this method a lot with older stallions. This was well handled, I'd have liked to hear the warning of loose horse before he appeared in frame, but other than that this went perfectly.
+Stephie Lilley I completely agree, this stallion didn't seem malicious at all once he realized the horse wasn't a mare.
+Stephie Lilley I think noone should breed with horses behaving like "typical stallions".
No one would have horses then.
The whole situation was handled very calmly and without fuss or drama. Being the owner of a dressage stallion, it is NOT always possible to keep them under control (try as we might). Mine has been with experienced stallion handlers since day 1 and he is well behaved but he has his moments but that's why I love him. It is for this reason that they are not pets and you always need to be vigilant - but issues can always arise with a stallion, however, you need to keep some perspective here.
She's a great horsewoman. So composed.
+Susan Powell this is not a hate comment or anything but i just wanna let you know that pulling like a crazy person is terrible and horse abuse look at the horse's face it's in pain and it panicks this is horse abuse i'm serious
horsemanship is understanding a horse and riding with pressure and not with a bit and cause pain
+Jelsa Woods have you ever ridden a strong horse let alone over a cross country course? The horse was excited not in pain he was looking for the next jump and no doubt a little anxious at first that a horse was charging up behind him!
I was born around horses and have to say that one rule of dressage, show jumping and cross country is that unless the horse has a medical problem they are not allowed to event without a bit ,reason I know this nugget of information is that one of my aunts horses had a metal allergy so was allowed to event with a hackamore bit instead
Yeah, nice horse too, so chilled out, just stands still. Amazing considering he is mid way thru xcountry.
Lien Goethals you are a voice of reason. There should be no reason for having a noseband on and a bit in the mouth. I don't care what people are going to say about the bit. A lot of equestrian events are allowing Riders to go bitless and it is catching on... Slowly, it's catching on but it is catching on and that's better for the horse
Lol all the comments about if stallions should be at events. Duh, they have to be proven in sport to have value to bred from! lol.
I love the way the man on the radio said "everything's okay". Perfect inflection. Very calming
What a well behaved mare. Very calmly handled by the rider. Kudos!
Gelding, not mare - see the title. I agree, well handled.
beautiful rider and horse! the stallion is gorgeous as well. bummer she had to stop in the middle of her course, hope the rest went fine!
+J Doe once she got off , her round was over! rules say if the rider is on the ground, it is over. unless a very provincial show, they might have let her go on. if an emergency stop of course, the rider still is supposed to stay in the saddle.
+bonnie448 eh I disagree. I know the rules of eventing but I feel the the TD would make an exception in this case. Did you watch the entire video? She got back on and went on with her course so..
+bonnie448 Due to the circumstances she would be allowed back on course because the clocks are stopped due to the loose horse, so no she wouldn't be disqualified
Bonnie did you not watch the entire video?
bonnie448 she had no choice but to dismount as that is what you do when approached by a stallion in case they try to mount your horse. So it wouldn’t have been counted
Good job, for the rider on the dark brown horse, she kept calm and got back up on her horse and did what they were supposed to do.😍😗😀🐎
Impressive horsemanship and savvy. Ride On! I'm watching this again!
The stallion was not that aggressive. As a competition stallion likely he is well socialised, he has to be. He had plenty of time to be an asshole and he wasn't.
Wow, I totally thought that was going to turn out ugly. Both horse and rider handled that amazingly, so calm! Very impressive.
the Course people took their time ...
datage rrl - Well, it wasn't exactly a violent chase down and people rushing to get the horse could have just aggravated the situation even more. You want things to be as calm as possible.
Very well handled on the part of the horseman and her gelding, and it looks like they were able to get right back on track after the situation was dealt with. Very nice to see!
the rider and the gelding did awesome!! great video
Absolutely gorgeous horse though
Holy cow! But what a sweet, tolerant, polite gelding.
I see a lot of why a stud horse, and why is a stud stallion loose questions.
Not all stallions are stud horses. Many stallions are kept whole because there was no need to cut them when they were colts. I know plenty of whole stallions that get up on there high chair, as it were, because they have gotten loose even when in a field with no sight of others. This stallion had either ran off from being spooked, having had a small accident or incident where the rider was or the rider fell off. A stallion will go straight for the herd instinct to find others be it gelding or mare. If the horse was still on the track or being led off ect ect it would have kept inside the lines as it is possibly trained to do and seen the horse since they are only ever a rough 3-8 minutes behind the next horse. The stallion saw, he went, he introduced himself as stallions do and many others do to bond and create leadership and he stopped. Thank god he didn't go through any crowds and injure anyone as he panicked.
Um...no...he did not go to bond and create leadership. He 'introduced' himself with the 'hello! let's breed!' noise...and completely out of his sheath there at the end.
They handled this so well
Where is this? Her horse behaved impeccably, and Well Done to her for going clear afterwards! That could certainly frazzle the nerves a bit!
damn that gelding was pretty calm a little kick but thats all he did
That girl handled that beautifully 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
The rider and gelding are real champions. Beautifully handled.
Спасибо за великолепную подборку 😊❤👍👍👍
To the people saying “they need to train their stallion, etc” the rider very obviously had fallen off. Any horse no matter the gender can take off this just happened to be a stallion and he wasn’t super aggressive and seemed very well behaved to me. Just came to say hi, both the rider and the other horse handled the situation very Well. Unless you train your horse to stand and not move a muscle if you fall off (which is very close to being impossible) then they will probably run off definitely in a xc field. Yes people need to make sure if they’re going to compete their stallion that they need to be well behaved but this one looked very pretty well trained to me. Didn’t act aggressive toward the other people, didn’t attack the other horse, etc.
Oh finally. A voice of reason through the clouds of amateurish narcissistic views being expressed here. I rarely comment on stupid because stupid speaks for itself, but if I see one more person say " omg, it's a stallion, it can hurt you and others if you don't control it, look! it's eyes are red and it breathes smoke.... if u fall off it must STAND perfectly still cause there is a hush over the crowd if the STALLION moves a muscle without you CONTROLLING it...help..where are the EXITS....... (ok. my rant is over...lol)
honestly my old lease mare is a herd horse and LOVES other horses so whenever she dumped me (which was often) she would either run to the group of lesson horses or run to the fence where the paddock horses are. one of the girls at my barn rode her at a xc show and dumped her at the water and took off to the horse in front of them and this is basically how it also went, except the other horse dumped their rider and they took off together lol so i'd say this stallion and gelding handled it pretty dang well
Lmao I like how the person that talks throughout the course says “boys will be boys” !
Good for the gilding! He stayed calm and he did give a nice kick to the stallion which tells me that he was telling the stallion "back off I'm working here!". My only regret is that with all this excessive jumping the gelding's going to end up having joint issues and back issues
well done
your horses stayed really calm
Ok, not quite a horse person but have grown up near horses most my life. Why was the stallion coming over to the gelding? Was he horny thinking he was a mare or did he not like the gelding? Idk 🤷🏼♀️ but some insight would be appreciated! Thanks!
Awesome work by horse and rider. But what took people so long to assist???
It is a cross country event, the distances between the fences make getting there quickly on foot, very difficult.
That gelding was clearly in season...
veritasreigns the hell its a gelding they cannot be in season it’s not a mare!
Whooosh
Does anyone know what the strap is that the rider clips from her waist(?) to the saddle? You see her unclip it before she gets off and then clip it back on once she remounts.
Lisa Herron it’s a strap to her vest so if she Falls off her vest will inflate before she hits the ground.
Thanks! I had no idea.
My pony would've buck me off and gone over to the stallion! She's so flirty! No wonder she's called lady lol She'll do anything to get in with the boys!
my gelding would have tried to eat him haha, not sure which is better lolol.
What an amazing horse for her
That stallion is STUNNING
how long does it take a stallion to tell the difference between a mare in heat, and a gelding doing his job? I understand the danger of a potential scuffle between the horses - the gelding already delivered a little kick to the grey. But is this horsing around, or was the stallion trying to get busy? At any rate the gelding was beautifully behaved!
Stallion was trying to mount the gelding, a lot of castrated animals don't have a scent to them. (My neutered male Siberian Husky was mounted by a non-neutered male Golden in the park and the dog wasn't playing nor establishing dominance. That much I can tell you. Also a foal followed a gelding around after leaving his mom thinking it was his mom due to the similar coloring. XDDD...)
Stallions also usually don't care what sex the horse is as long as it's not another stallion. He didn't care what was going on, all he saw was a horse he could mount and tried to do so.
He was dropping anchor. Solid bet he was wanting to get busy.
And she had the presence of mind to unclip her vest and all!!
Lovely stallion too :)
I hope she gets to continue her round
The rider did an admirable job in a tough situation.
I reckon that gelding was just so purdy. :)
she handled that amazingly.
good job
Smart rider!
That could have been a horrible disaster!! The gelding and his rider are fantastic!!
Edit: after watching again, the stallion wasn't really bad for a loose horse, just an accident but I Love that gelding. 😃
Gorgeous gelding
A stallion and a gelding does this. It’s a sign of dominance!!
"HE IS A STALLIONNNNN!!"
holy shit
When that guy on the horn said boys will be boys my automatic thought was till a well tempered gentlemen puts them in their place and teaches them manners lol.
The gelding's thinking, "Hmf, what's he got that I haven't got."
OMG - just a tad bit scary!! Nice grey stallion though.
Very well handled by the rider
The owner of the beautiful geilding, nice one...no fear!
One of my stallions got loose into the arena when I was riding my mare next thing we know we have a foal and a broken wear worn out saddle
thats why i don't own stallions XD
quick thinking to unhook the vest!
Gary Knoll h
They stopped the time for her, and let her re-jump the previous jump #3, and continue the course. I believe she jumped double clear.
I love how everyone is screaming he's a stallion!!!!😂
Well..yeah a stallion tends at least 60% of the time to be harder to deal with when it comes to mares or geldings you’ve gotta give aleast a waning to the rider so they know how to deal with the situation
that gelding is well behaved, nice one!
The horse and rider handled the situation very well.
The stallion wanted to mount the gelding? Got his weenie out!
no he didn't he is simply trying to assert his control over the gelding... you would know that if you knew anything about horses
+horses_with_wings x if you knew anything about horses then you'd understand stallions mount geldings sometimes, as a act of dominance or the result of hormones. In fact, this is common in the animal kingdom, as any male dog owner will gladly tell you 😂
horses_with_wings x if you knew anything about horses you'd know YOU were wrong.
I saw a Weenie!
Monica Franklin it was more an act of dominance and show. Stallions present themselves often to other males, like they wanna say "Boy, look how georgeous and male I am. I'm stronger than you, so I'm the boss." In this point they can be compared with human boys. This horse's behavior is more playful, not aggressive, so I think the dropping down was only representive
Omg there are loads of videos of the same stallion, on different parts of the course! Lolol
A lot of these horses are going really hallow which is bad for their backs especially when jumping. They need to be taught how to round and stretch down and forward to support the rider.
I would be so fucking pissed if some dumb ass owner who couldn't control their stallion ruined my round.
It's not the riders fault they fell off. Like you are eventing people come off, Accidents happen. It's not a matter of being unable to control a horse.
Halfhalt_hearts You don't know what happened
You can hear the announcer say "Natalie is okay as far as we know" she obviously fell off. And besides you should be able to control your horse in the situation anyways. The show isn't going to give you a penalty for that so its up to you to refocus your horse. If you can't do that maybe it's you that shouldn't be at the show.
Halfhalt_hearts And?
jumping_oxers_xo xoxo Prove it. I dare you. jumping_oxers_xo xoxo
Eventing is certainly an, er, exciting sport! Haha ;)
omg that laugh! lol
@smokestacksace The rider could not help that he/she fell off on course, that is not a handling issue.
Oh no
Glad she wasn't on a mare, my mare almost got mounted in a warm up arena once, I just scooted her out of the way in time, he was completely oblivious to me being in the way.
The girl at the beginning: “HES A STALLION!”
Haw!! He's droppin' and everything!! That filly seems to LIKE him!!
Ummm what?
That’s a stallion and a gelding.....wtf
Ok and I swear around 1:00... Did someone shout "WALK IT OFF?!" lol Omg
Could we talk for a moment about how the rider seemed to LEVITATE back into the saddle? Did she get a boost from someone? Is there a trick? Is it just practice? Or has she genuinely discovered how to negate gravity?
In medieval times, a knight in full armor was expected to be able to mount his horse without benefit of the stirrups.
This rider did really well....
She rlly said “bop bop”
gueldings... it's complicated... :'D
If I were riding my mare, she would have been all for it. In heat or no. Amazing job on the rider's part. And amazing job to the Gelding. The stallion was pretty well behaved too. I think the stallion just wanted some horse time.
He certainly wanted to jump more then just obstacles!
silverpurkat SHUT UP!
i think this was handled perfectly!! to all those saying control your horse, have any of you ever fallen off? the ones saying it needs better training, how the fuck you gonna teach it not to be a horse? lmfao yall should just stay off of horses!!!
beautifully handled hope whoever fell off the stud was ok
I heard them say she was okay on the loud speaker in the beginning
At least the gelding gave a quick "pheck orf" to the stallion at 20s. Joking aside, could have been a dangerous situation.
heh that gotta be embarrassing,hello! it's a Gelding not a Mare the Grey stallion must of gotten confused that day XD
+lavonna sanchez Actually a randy stallion will have a go at a gelding too. The rider was in quite some danger if he had from hoof strikes. You do wonder sometimes about the intelligence of some stallions, lol.
+Jeanne Haessler
yeah but some stallions can be very smart or like this stallion in the video depending on how you train it. while this one was Very poorly Trained i mean hello! the stallion was dropping down in front of a Gelding? geez i think that Grey stallion will be a Gelding next
Great handling of the situation on the gelding and the rider's part!!! Not so much on the stallion's rider/owner. If you feel the need to take a stallion to a show or event, you better be able to control and handle him. If you can't....well that tends to be how people and other horses get hurt.
Ever felt a horse stumble under you? There is no controlling it no matter the gender, if the horse gose to their knees, you better hope to hell you have enough strength to hold yourself in place and not go over their neck when they go from 35+MPH to Zero.
It’s like bringing a dog to a dog park you have to have control over them
someone is yelling its a stallion go i somehow dont think running away from him would have been helpful he would certainly have caught up!
Good on them!!! They handled it like champs. Too bad their course was interrupted by the stud
What if your horse was mare instead of gelding... i can imagen the horror 😨😨😨
when i worked at a stud we had to make sure there were no horses on the yard when we put the stallion on the walker, cos otherwise he would try and fuck them, even if they were a gelding
