i put my hands up and admit i know nothing about horses...but if you look there is another video explaining what is going on in this first video...and what the woman was doing (or trying to achieve)
hope this helps
this is what the woman explains....
". This is an additional video to the 1. video "consequences of show training"
2. This video was taken from a young friend and for that it was never meant to be published.
3. To give an example to the worldwide petiton going on in Europe about abuse with show horses the lady gave her ok to publish this video to make attention to the problem of abusing show horses.
4. This stallion was in his youth a sucessful showhorse and was hit on the cannons for posing. Years ago when he came to the lady he fall on both carpi when the whip just came in direction of the cannons and he became very agressive and tried to bit in a dangerous way. No way that he learnt bowing - he tried to save his legs!
5. He is now more than 20 years old, lives on the pastern and is a breeding stallion during breeding season.
6. Before and during breeding season he gets some exercise to stay handy. This video has been taken from this first training after winter pause - no intention to be perfect just to become and stay handy.
7. He is just brushed,still in wintercoat, not washed, likes to play and run and for that reason he was sweating and toward the end of the session drying out but as a pasture horse who is not washed he will not dry out white but a kind of brown there where he was sweating - please don't make any negative comments on that - it's not the point of this video and this horse lives a beautiful life not that many horse can have and he is loved and he loves too.
The goal of that video is: horses never forget - see the quick change of mood (stiff chin, noistils, eyes, opposition, uncooperative).
He has a change of behaviour - not playing but becoming mad and less cooperative - this is what you can learn from this 2 videos - it's nowadays no more so obviousely but still good enough to see and after a trainings pause he has to be desensitized first because horses never forget and if they made bad experiences you have to build up first confidence until they trust you again even after 10 years of correct treatment.
And when these horses not come to well minded or trained persons there will be one arabian horse more where the people tells that Araians are spooky and not to ride."
