The majority of the horse trainers would agree with the fact that a huge success for them is to train horses in a way that their performance won’t be affected by the huge audience that is going to watch it because, as you all know, huge group of horses can be really intimidated by huge groups of people. We have seen a lot of concerning videos on the internet where horses were either fully distracted or spooked by the huge groups of people in front of them.
It is totally understandable, even us humans are usually not very confident having either a speech or a performance in front of a huge group of people. As much as we want attention, as much we don’t want it because we are scared about not being the best versions of ourselves when the others are watching because there is a pressure for doing your maximum and satisfying the group of people in front of you whatever is the reason why they are watching you or listening to you.
A group of people in the video below is really excited about the performance of the horse and a few owners who were taking turns during the performance. They were all standing in the form of a circle and right in the middle of the circle the whole performance took place.
It was a little difficult because there wasn’t much room, however, I believe the riders took it as a challenge and tried their best to deliver the best performance. One thing that I didn’t like is the way how they were treating the horse. One thing that I didn’t like about all of this is the fact that only one of them treated the horse the way it needed to be treated because the others were a little hard on him.
Maybe it was the pressure to deliver a great performance, however, as much entertaining as it should be, the horse should not be mistreated and I disagree with a few points in this video and I hope they did something to fix their mistake. If not, then it should be denounced as an abuse case. Please watch the video below and let us know what you think about it.
