Macho at the Oregon Trophy- KWPN Stallion Show 2023

Be warned, there is some screaming, clapping and loud music going on in this video! The audience is always very enthusiastic.
The Dutch Harness stallions compete for the Oregon Trofee 2023 at the Stallion Show in Den Bosch.
The Dutch Harness Horse is bred to move this way, it's their natural movement which you can already see in foals. Of course they need training to further develop their talent for 'high stepping' but no forcing attributes are allowed during this show.

No forced attributes?? I think Macho and the grey after him were the only horses without an over tight martingale or crupper. Don't kid yourselves this is achieved without severe repercussions for the horses.
