- Sam and Si need all the horsepower they can muster to keep up with a speedy racehorse this week on Slo Mo. Luckily they've got Duncan Barbour on hand with his incredible 'VampyreBATT' and Mark Johnston's racehorse, Street Artist, skillfully ridden by jockey Andrew Bacon. Together they capture one of the most iconic slow motion subjects.
Duncan Barbour is an expert all-terrain driver. Please don't try this at home!

Original and stunning high definition slow motion footage of animals and their actions. Brought to you by our very own team members; animal nerd Sam, and camera geek Simon.
I loved this but I couldn't stop myself screaming at the jockey for his heels 😱
I know, its the opposite of what they're supposed to be.
PhiaEquestrian toes down all the way! (sarcastic)
I am glad people can see how amazing these animals are 🏇
I love videos like this with high quality. Lots of people should learn from these guys cause the shots are absolutely amazing!
Horses are such beautiful and amazing creatures. They've always been one of my favorite animals since I was a kid and still are. Anyone who hasn't tried horse back riding at least once in their life should really put it on their bucket list. These animals are a real treat to behold. Great vid.
I love this, the horse just has so much power and burst!
It's really cool that you did this, and I'm not sure whether or not you know this or not, but the the concept of high speed camera was invented to prove that a horse had all four hooves off the ground whilst galloping : ) I don't know why I suggested a chicken picking a grain of rice (or other food) rather then suggesting this. I had a little break from Earth Unplugged, but now I'm on a roll again : ) It's nice to save up a couple of videos for a rainy day : ) I ♥ Earth Unplugged!
Horses are amazing animals...except for their digestive track...which is just silly for a herbivore!
In #RoyalAscot week, we take a look at a galloping horse in slow motion...
I think its beautiful when you see the horse floating off the ground for a split seond but it still maintains its beauty and grace.
WOW WOW WOW!!! I HAD CHILL AND SHIVVERS THE WHOLE TIME!!!!!!!!!!!!! YOU NEED TO WATCH THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I love these majestic creatures, so beautiful and strong. It fills me with awe!
We did film a greyhound on the same day as we filmed the horse in fact - the video's coming up soon. Make sure you watch out for it!
I could watch this all day. Its so interesting.
I love watching the musculature in slow-motion. So cool.
Glad you liked it. And right then - let's do it...
My respect fir horses us now even bigger. what a majestic animal.
horses are just beautiful...!
the horse is very beautiful!
That water bucket bit at the end would make a great screensaver!
this video blew my mind... we shot a slow motion video of my horse running at full speed, and its just amazing how beautiful they are in slow mo
That's amazing. I love to see horses running
such horse
much grace
wow
grass
Thanks Tariq!
horses are the best ....
Brilliant Photography
Horses have the most beautiful body among all other animals!
Absolutely fabulous slo mo video of a most amazing animal!
Finally! Been looking for a racing horse video like this for a while lol
That was too funny, the horse looked like he was smiling after getting that bucket of water thrown on him.. Great work.
I love horses!!
Beautiful animal.
Yeah guys go ahead cant wait
Simply gorgeous animals! That's why they are my favourite animals! :D
One word: Wow!
Great videos. It may be interesting to note that the fetlock joint is not the equivalent of the wrist and ankle as suggested in the video, they're actually the knuckles or metacarpophalangeal (fore) or metatarsophalangeal (hind) joints; which makes the equine distal limb all the more powerful, fragile and fascinating to study. The joints that looks like they might be the knees in the forelimb (and are informally referred to as such) are actually the equivalent of the wrist (or carpus); the hocks (the backwards pointy bits half way up the hind limbs) being the ankle (tarsus). The horse i believe (along with the other equids; donkey, zebra etc) is unique in having a single digit per distal limb.
Also not mentioned and perhaps of interest is that when galloping, the horse (along with some other mammals) actually synchronises its breathing to its gait, effectively using its abdominal mass as a pump to assist and indeed constrain exhalation/inhalation.
Actually, the horse's fetlock joint consists of two accessory vestigial bones that are the remnants of two other digits. Also, it has three metacarpals (metatarsals for the hind leg) that are fused together (to form the single long bone between the carpals/tarsals and the fetlock), suggesting that it does indeed have multiple digits, three to be exact, which narrow down to only one fingernail/toenail (depending on whether it's a hind or foreleg) at the long and short pasterns and the hoof. If you're really like watching horse anatomy videos, you should check out "Nature's Giants: Racehorse;" it's a really fascinating dissection, equipped with explanations, diagrams, and 3-D models, of the modern racehorse. You can probably find it on TH-cam somewhere.

Thank you for your response. 'Actually'..: The modern horses' limbs do indeed feature vestigial Metacarpal (MC) and Metatarsal (MT) II and IV bones, which are found medial and lateral to the primary weight bearer MC/MT III (or cannon bone) proximally. However, the bones of the fetlock joints (or metacarpophalangeal and metatarsophalangeal joints (to give them an example of their correct terms)) in the horse are not said to articulate with them in any way as the vestigial MC/MT II and IV bones terminate many inches proximal to the joint as the 'buttons' of the splint bones (these are easily palpated in the live animal approximately 1/3 to 2/3 down MC/MT III). As its proper name suggests, the fetlock is an articulation between metacarpal/tarsal and phalangeal bones but at the level of fetlock joint in the horse this is only MC/MT III; the remaining MC/MT bones being either not present at all (in the case of MC/MT I and V) or, as you say, having tapered down proximal to this point. Perhaps you are thinking of the knee or hock joints, which, as I said in my original post, are the equivalent of the wrist or ankle joints.

Further, it may interest you to note also that the splint bones are not said to be 'fused' to MC/MT III, rather they are held in place by strong ligaments (although it is true that the ligaments are often ossified, which can lead to an appearance of fusing). This appears to be different in some other domestic mammals, notably in cattle, where the remaining MC and MT bones are fused into a solid weight-bearing unit. Cats and dogs (and humans) are very different, allowing a significant range of flexibility in the distal limb as the MC and MT bones, along with the radius/ulna and tibia/fibula, are able to rotate around one-another to a significantly greater extent (this is why you can easily rotate your hands palm up or down and twizzle your fingers about but a horse is completely unable to do this (hooves not palms/fingers obviously).
That's very interesting. I was always taught in class that the metacarpals/tarsals were fused. Thank you for explaining it for me
ZeChachaiimSheli You're welcome. I hope what I wrote was helpful (and hopefully correct). My point regarding fusing of splint bones was a little pedantic for a couple of reasons; although the splint bones can be isolated from the healthy specimen by removal of the ligaments and other surrounding connective tissue (google 'horse splint bones' for images), those ligaments hold the bones very tightly in vivo, are relatively static and can become ossified (turned to bone) to varying degrees through life to the the point where, in some cases (unusually), they could be considered as 'fused'. But this should not be considered as normal in the equine species. Bovids are different. If you're interested in exploring horse limbs further I can recommend researching 'passive stay apparatus', paying particular attention to the function of the patellar locking mechanism. I thought that was amazing when I studied horse locomotor anatomy at vet school.
I'll definitely check that out. I'm currently only an undergraduate animal science student, but I'm aiming to attend vet school in the future. The most advanced equine class I've taken so far was only a 2000 level, though I'll be taking a 4000 level equine class come Spring semester next year. Thanks for the information!
They have these tredmills for horses and its amazing to watch
BOOOOOoooooorrrrriiiinnnggggggg!
Amazing keep it up guys my favourite nature channel love the info love the presenters you guys rock
so much power in one video .. This amazing !
That why i love this animals ;)
very nice to see the horse
could you get a horse jumping in slow motion?
Great footage, thanks.
this is Beautiful!
You should do a horse jumping
Goddamn majestic.
You guys should come over to the States and film some Quarter Horses that are in the performance industry. Even the racing Quarter Horses would be a sight because they are even faster than a Thoroughbred.
This video gives good tips for CLOP
So glad I share my life, work and ride these beautiful creatures, makes my life amazing.
1975nCATB x same🙌🏼
i would love to see a lot more of these done :D
He was an amazing horse! He looks so much like one of my horses!
jeez that man was serously in educated about horses on the BBC as well !!!
Would be awesome!
That's amazing
God's gift to animators.
Amazing!
I love horses
so cool and so fast
Grande trabalho, obrigado..continue...
I'd like to see this with a gaited horse - like an Icelandic horse. Would love to see the tölt or speedpace in slow motion :)
A colleague of mine has a fear of horses (equinophobia). Unfortunately for him, every tuesday he has to get passed a horsemarket to get to work. It's hilarious.
4:13 that looks so cool!! lol
i love horses and i wished i road one
It would be awesome to compare a Saluki's gait to a Greyhounds. The Saluki was bred for high speeds and endurance, whereas the Greyhounds run in bursts at high speeds.
They just hop around!
i love
4:13 That's (I think) alcohol water! At the barn I ride at, my instructor gives us buckets and sponges to scrub down the horses with if it's been hot and they're really sweaty. Alcohol water is supposed to prevent sweat rot, but the horses aren't huge fans of it (it stings xD).
ColorfulMusicNeko but wouldn't it also reduce soreness in muscles?
fullstrutn I don't think so. I mean, it is just water and alcohol. I would have to ask my instructor or look it up to give you a proper answer.
Look at that muscle
@alltime10s that would be beyond awsome
I would love to see a quarter horse in slow mo. They are the best sprinters in the equine world. Averaging 45 to 50 (a few even 55mph) They can give quite a blast of speed over a short distance, I would love to see the muscle work in detail. :) must be amazing.
No they are not.Thoroughbreds are the fasts and best sprinters
Actually, they are they just can't maintain it as long as a TB can :)
Really cool video! We should definitely work together on a video..
Only 3 years? :(
Hope he has a good life despite the early start.
That is the tipical time for race horses to do competitions around. There are reces for 2 year olds.
The heels....
ITS ALLTIME10 HEY EVERYONE IS ALLTIME10 !!!!!!
I have that fear too, seeing how delicate and small their fetlocks are compared to the entire body of the horse... but there are plently of muscle and cushioning, I'm sure he'll be fine >.>
I'm 12 andi love horse riding and this was awesome also my pony looks like this horse but my pony is called nibb
What camera did you film this with? It's incredible!
i'm just curious. I know what those kinds cost and i can only dream
can you please do a slo mo on Cheetahs?!
what the heck is up with the jockey's heels?
Thought the same thing! Must have spilt :D
I've never seen a rider ride with their feet in the stirrups like that o.O
they have to, it is very hard because the way they are up on the horse, it is super hard to put your heels down
Hmm, lemme look up some random pics on a google image search for "race horse" hmm ... all heels down ... I think you're wrong. Not only is this guy's toes pointed down, his foot is almost through the stirrup, definitely not a correct way to ride. So I stand by my original comment.
Yes, his are a bit far in the stirrups, but I'd like to see you ride with your stirrups that short, that fast, and keep your heels down.
109367 flat jockeys ride like that
Not true, it is impossible to ride a horse in an apartment ... I don't think I know what a flat jockey is >.>
HEEEEEEEELLLLLLLLLLSSSSSSSSS DOWN
+Diana Richard ikr i was getting so mad al the time
ever film different types of dogs?
I'm an artist and would like to know if I can have permission to use this as a reference for a drawing?
1:28 Weee ima unicorn
Sparrow hawk
Is that the left hind shoe comming of at 1:40?
Yes!!! He lost it later.
Fetlocks are equivalent to the knuckles not the wrists and ankles...
Did he say animal Design?
"I think 50 mi/h"
Why you dont take the real speed!!! in most of your videos you do the same. People who watch this kind of videos like the speed and its important to them
That's a quarter horse so it's around 20 - 45.6 mph
That's a thoroughbred not a quarter horse😂
how come i have a strange fear the horse is going to break his ankle whenever his feet land? D= I have a strange fobia..
is a greyhound as fast as a horse full tilt?
About the same I think
It depends on the horse, but a greyhound cannot beat a thoroughbred
A greyhound can run at a top speed of approximately 70kms per hour, whereas a horse can run at about 40-48kms per hour. The only issue is that the dogs wear out a lot faster than the horses. They can only travel at such a high speed for a very short amount of time, just like a cheetah. If a hunt is too long, the cheetah gives up, because it simply cannot maintain the amount of speed necessary. Same for a dog. But a horse can maintain a very fast pace for kilometres on end. Hope this helped!
PUT. YOUR. HEELS. DOWN. If that horse were to suddenly stop or spook to the side the rider would have flown off of the front. If his heels were down he would at least have a chance to save himself.
+Delaney Richardson Bit difficult when riding in a jockey position. You have the wind pushing against you, the momentum, having to balance also without leaning back. Its not that easy really, try riding a horse yourself and putting the stirrups up as high as your legs will allow then place yourself in the jockey position and canter like that. I did it once in a riding lesson at college and my legs were straining, I was wobbly and my heels were down to the earth, keeping them level surprisingly helps as you are forced to balance on the ball of your foot rather than pushing your weight to your heels. (I suppose his heels are a little high, but I wouldn't care to much about it either as long as I won the race since that's what keeps your career going ) :)
+BlackMountain150 Ive ridden 4 races and i can tell you, not much balance or strength is neede for riding it. If that rider is even an exercise rider he is not good. I can tell you for good
Lucas Olsen Well how do you do it then? This rider must ride multiple horses every single day, its his career to ride. He wouldn't be riding now if he had come off badly.
How i do it? Do what? ride?
Lucas Olsen Balance when riding a racehorse. Doesn't it ache your calves?
no offense but i suscribed just because of alltime10... nah just joking and dind even suscribed :p
When is the next Maddie video
+Baele dimitri I got really mad I kept screaming heels down but I knew it wouldn't help he's just a position rider
Stargurl 1012 jockeys have theirs heels up
he is
I thought race horses picked up their left lead almost everytime. All our ex racers always have trouble with their right lead when we get them off the track.
I think it depends where you get them from... if I remember correctly, in the UK race tracks run the opposite direction than in the US..
Horsedogz in the UK and Ireland we have tracks running in both directions, which in my opinion makes our horses much simpler to retrain as they know how to run on both leads. That and the way we train sets them up better for a life outside of racing. Nothing at all against the American way of things, would very much like to ride our there for a summer, just my own personal experience with these wonderful horses :)
MikasMum Ah ok. I live in canada and I dont' know which way they run here XD. All I know is that it can be hard to retrain them over here.. It makes sense to have tracks run both ways.
Nibbles
Right after we hear "they are just like springs," 2:15, the slo-mo of the horse cuts to two humans at the instance BEFORE you see the spring action just spoken about. This entire video is a FAIL. (Yes I am shouting.) The person how edited this is an idiot, and the cameraman is just as bad. The best reason for hating this video is that only 15% shows the horse galloping, and half of that does *not* show the hooves hitting the ground. The whole *point* of this video is the *horse* running, not the Jockey Riding, the men filming, nor the horse rolling. Show the hooves hitting the ground through multiple strides with the same voice-audio as a voice over so we can see the "spring" action. Watching the horse head on is only mildly interesting. The _correct_ title should be, "How We Filmed a Horse Galloping."
3:18
It is a great slowmo.....the color of the grass And the color of the horse create great contrast...but the edit work is annoying. Each shot contains less than two full steps of the horse legs....... can’t even study the motion of the horse from a stable perspective...I wish each slowmo shot can last long enough to show at least two gallop cycle.........
