- For the people of the Sahara, owning a horse is a mark of status, a great pride. In villages of the dry savannah, children are taught to ride horses very young. They live a free and exciting cow boy life, watching after the family’s herd. This is the case of Hisseini, 11, who is soon to participate his first Grand Fantasia, a ritual horse race in which he will represent his village. But Hisseini has no one to train him.
At the cattle market, Hisseini meets Stephanie, a French woman who manages an equestrian club. He makes friend with her right-hand man Abakar. Abakar agrees to help Hisseini and introduces him to the white man’s way of riding horses. Hisseini also meets Estelle, a 12 year old French girl, getting ready for her first jumping competition with Stephanie. In a nearby town, Moussa is working as a stable boy for Atanase, a Greek man who has trained horses and jockeys in Africa for over 20 years. Moussa dreams to become a jockey like his brother Adoum. Adoum is to run for the Ramadan competition in the town’s central square. In that race, most jockeys ride barefoot, with no saddle nor stirrups.
The big day has arrived for Estelle, Adoum and Hisseini. They have to prove to their family that they are seasoned riders of the Sahara.

Nice to see their culture of horses being maintained. God bless them all.
Warriors of Sahel, we share the same ancestors. So it's no wonder why I love horses.
these my people they are baggara from their dialect i am sudanese and we share same blood and culture thank you for sharing this nice video
sudanese athiest ARE THE PEOPLE BAGGARA?
@sudanese athiest when your thinking is bad you think all people are liars like you , tell us who they are? You hypocrite
@sudanese athiest if you know messriya and rizigat and many arab tribes living in tchad and there is no any different between them
@sudanese athiest do not generalize if you are not arab this up to you , we kno our roots very well And horse breeding its our culture , please do not questioning people roots and thier identity
@sudanese athiest i am proud of you bro and nubian history is awesome and all sudanese are proud to be part of that history , but am asking u what is wrong if some people say they are arab?
Such a beautiful presentation. I thoroughly enjoyed watching this and these amazing people and their horses. Horses that can herd and also be qualified 🏇 race horses.
This place is really beautiful
Simply MAJESTIC!!!
Love only goes as far as their money and knowledge will allow, sadly.
Without many of them realising it they're greatly abusing their horses if its the bit, hard hands, bad riding, bad training methods, etc.
dude look at the life they are livin it :S
@@HB-gv9sz work animals such as horses are worked till they drop in under developed countries. As money is something they can't waste and horses help them make the money. So the likelihood of them eating them is extremely low as it isn't worth the money.
Horses are a pretty pricey as well as they're regarded as work/pleasure animals. Donkeys are more popular in Africa than horses are which makes horses more of a luxury.
@@HB-gv9sz 800 pound nope way leaner than that, work animals are loved by their owners it may not be of the same standards we do but they love them non the less. There are a lot of sanctuaries in Africa for horses and only very few parts of north Africa actually eats horses, (it's not illegal to slaughter horses but it is to consume it in South Africa).
Again horses really aren't as common as work animals in Africa as they can be costly and more prone to denigration. Work animals in Africa aren't usually owned by people who kill their own food but the working class. By the time their work animal dies of old age or whatever there really isn't much meat on them and they can be infected with diseases so the meat is unstable. Not to mention they're views as a pet in a way.
They are one of the best 💜 animals of the world 🌎!
Wonderfully educational documentary ❤ Great to learn about other cultures and customs.
I expected a documentary about the (african) riders of the Sahara, turns out 50% of the documentary is about a white French girl riding her horse in the Sahel not the Sahara
The horses are very beautiful and clever animals!
He didn’t have to strike the horse that hard like that in order to get the horse to obey him, you can tell that the horse was really hurt by the hit by the way the horse moved it’s head. You don’t have to be so damn cruel to the animal sir!
I thought some of the horses seemed kind of terrified
I have watched this documentary 5-6 times. After 4-5 months. i don’t know why
Such peaceful life ❤❤
so beautiful amazing and nice,,, I love it all,, I will be there soon as I make enough money
I realy impressed thise documentary
Learn to write.
Que pessoas bonitas!
IT'S ASTONISHING HOW MANY VIDEOS OF AUTHENTIC AFRICA/AFRICANS HAVE BEEN TAMPERED WITH/ALTERED OR TAKING OFF TH-cam IN THE PAST SEVERAL YEARS.
Amazing
These are literally cowboys by definition. One who herds cattle from horse back…. Wow
"She's having trouble with it because it was trained for male riders". EYE ROLL. Every woman rider I know is tough as nails. Also, no one trains a horse for a specific gender. That's the dumbest line in the whole movie.
very tough tribe
Good day, 💖 thanks you much for your Film 📽️, it's very interested ☺️ 😺 and important to me! Lord 🙏 God bless you all! Bye!
This is so much fun if anybody gets the opportunity
true wealth
Hi, I would like to take a screenshot of your video and use it for an exhibition at my art academy in Copenhagen about horse people around the globe. I will reference you as the owner of the video, as well as name those seen in the screenshot. Please let me know if that is okay. Thanks!
Absolutely disgusting the way they treat their horses! They know why they cut out the bits.
What do you mean cut out the bits? I’m only 30 mins in maybe I haven’t seen that bit yet
@@booboo8871 The film doesnt show the bits, which must be murderous telling by the way the horses jerk their heads to avoid the pain
@@heide9755 oh right I took “cut out” the wrong way. Yeah I did notice they were never in the frame too. Shocking!
Am I the only one who sees the abuse I don't care if it is tradition whipping a horse on the head is wrong.
It's also stupidity.
The horses are ridden completely wrong at hard. They all push the back down
good
Why are they always beating on their horses?
I don't know. I'm hoping it's just a macho thing they did in front of the cameras. But it probably isn't. The little girl on the donkey whipped it for no apparent reason. Ignorance is real. Sigh.
Doalh pada allah semua nya datang dari pada dia.. Semoga bilal dan keluarga selalu dilindunfi rahmat dan kasih sayang nya
masha Allah African cowboy
Wish these guys wouldn't yank on their horse's mouth so much. Harsh.
I thought it looked kind of cruel.
Ye they seem to like having the head real high, tbf the boy seems like a generous rider considering.
Poor horses, all under weight, skinny. And the tack looks incredibly uncomfortable.
Did you not see the area?
How can these supposed French equestrians scold these African horsemen about how they treat their horses when there are more horses in Chad than in France? I’m sure the decline in the horse population in France has a lot to do with their great treatment of horses. Please. Leave your arrogance at home!
They know nothing about horses lol they treat them like shit break them
I'm from America and yes you can still love animals and ignorantly abuse them because lack of knowledge.
Destination Addiction Samsara yes but chad probably has more horses than any single state or even the entire country of the US, which was probably not the case about two centuries ago. Stay focused on the declining animal population in your own modern country and raise questions about what is going on there and leave people alone who still have thriving animal husbandry practices that have sustained them for centuries. They must be doing something worthwhile than any other modern country that has a dwindling animal population (except for the dogs that they greatly euthanize every year)!
@@bongrenaysisyen6898 your comment literally makes no sense tbh, Domestic Population has nothing to do with treatment, In other countries Horses are used as companions and for events therefore there's no need to have so many horses, in Chad they use horse for almost everything therefore multiple horses is necessary.
@@bongrenaysisyen6898 having a lot of horses doesn't mean you know what you're doing. A cat lady can have 500 cats and be abusing every single one of them, who she loves and could of had them for years. There's alot of pro equestrians in the big leagues who only owned a handful of horses.
The amount of horses doesn't equal how good of a trainer or owner you are. Anyone can own a horse and multiple if they have the room, it's nothing special.
My people ❤
I keep thinking about how hilarious it would be to enter that race on racing quarter horse or against Indian relay racers.🐎 💨
Feel bad for the animals but that horse is unique looking horse definitely not looking like a Arab horse
gosh.... as a horse breeder, horse owner and horse lover... these horses are being so abused... 😳😳😳 appalling!!! fuck... they even faaaaarrr to young to be backed. the hard handling are just to horrible. you dont need money to be soft and caring and handle an animal with care!!!!! money and resources got NOTHING to do with not abusing an animal. 😡
I would love to go there where in chad is it please let me know
Google map it
Name of song when the two race?
11:53 poor thing😓
Lol that's light weight for a donkey. Google how strong that animal is.
@@jon-snow-GOT the difference is if its on his back or if its on a carriage.
@@jon-snow-GOT donkeys and horses can pull more weight than they can carry. Donkeys and horses can be forced to carry more weight than they should, they can also carry more weight if they're wearing special tack (packing tack) that helps distribute the weight on their back so its not all placed on one point. Which can cause pain and lead to kissing spine.
IS THE BOY A BAGGARA?
“Primitive country” what does that even mean?
Arabic horses?? 🚮🚮 fake narratives about the motherland always.
Red Fulani Longhorn cattle.
🏀🐄🇹🇩🌍
None of these horses looked comfortable nor happy. A lot of face pulling and very skinny with a lot of demand from the human and to top it off very hot weather. Unfortunately, what to these people know. Everything is so brutal.
@alex kinyua I know that but it doesn't take the fact the horses lack muscles and a healthy diet. They're not well taken care of. It is what it is.
Isn't it the same when they mistreat the horse's in the ascot they have the expression and sadness. When the humans whip the horse 🐎 in Ascot to run faster and they do not feel. Stop making an assumption because you don't know how they treat the horses. Because of a bias documentary. Also look into how the horses are treated globally in horses tournaments.
@@zazandili8310 Of course, any demand you put on a horse to perform beyond its capabilities is inhumane whether the horses are shown in aristocrat or local events. I never stated otherwise. I just pointed to the video here not any other. Look at the cows for God sake. I come from a 3rd world country too, people barely sustain themselves and families now imagine feeding an additional 800- 1200+ lbs animals + vet care. Come on lets use common sense.
LaViajerita 87 it's everywhere, animals are mistreated so I come from Africa is it a third world country? No, the presidents and leaders make it a third world country so however how the treat they're animals is entirely up to them. Look at fox hunting in England and the events they have in Spain no one bats an eyelid as to how they mistreat the animals as soon as it's Africans oh God its an uproar. 🤦🏾♀️🙆🏾
LaViajerita 87 they must all have very hard mouths, poor animals
Am i the only one to notice that horse is gaited
@Steven Dovefall 😂😂😂 you don't wanna know what's the meaning
What does it mean???
Yeah saw that too
@@jessicabir1107 These horses are probably Barbs, and there was/is a gaited type of Barb. The Spanish called them Jennets and they are the foundation breed of modern Paso Finos.
No, I noticed that too. Interesting info about the Spanish Barb, it makes sense they would use gaited horses here.
But its an hindi language to understand is good like
Only thing I see are horses hurting. This is disgusting. And do not think that I consider myself superior, horses suffer all over the world from tight reins, bits, spurs, and getting kicked.
tchad❤️
The toubou people of chad originated from Somalis, especially the ancient Dir clan family...they even carry the same y DNA haplogroup T-m184 which reaches the highest frequency globally in ethnic Somalis from the Dir clan, in Djibouti Somalia and Ogaden region, we Somalis consider the tobou people to ethnic Somalis who left the horn and migrated into Chad a long time ago
Lmao the Toubou are older than the Somali’s though, and they were referenced by Greeks over 2 thousand years ago
@@davidasehinde4236 Go read the periplus of the erythrean sea, a 2000 year old ancient greek document, it meticulously describes Somalis as occupying all of modern Djibouti and Somalia, and dominating the red sea and Indian ocean trade of spices...Somalis are much older than the toubou...even the Roman empire 2000 years ago wrote about Somalis, calling northern Somalia 'Regio Aromatica'
nope thats a big lie you guys love spreading, just because some of them look like you doesnt mean they are related to you
@@aaliyahrose7632 Go read the periplus of the erythrean sea, a 2000 year old ancient greek document, it meticulously describes Somalis as occupying all of modern Djibouti and Somalia, and dominating the red sea and Indian ocean trade of spices...Somalis are much older than the toubou...even the Roman empire 2000 years ago wrote about Somalis, calling northern Somalia 'Regio Aromatica'
Somalis love claiming everybody who isn’t Somali

The French brought horses to Chad or they stole the art of horse riding from the locals when they invaded them and labelled it as their own invention?
French did not bring horses to Chad. There are far more horses in Chad than in France. Horse cultures in Africa go back thousands of years, particularly in the Sahel belt below the Sahara. Also the horse breeds in Africa are not the same as those in Europe. Indigenous African horses are 'barb' type and are much more athletic and intelligent than native European horses but they don't grow as big as European horses.
