1985 CONGRESS. 

Kelley Decker exactly

Yes now there hind legs are like walking

NO FAKE TAILS💥😃

These horses have probably been under saddle for like a month or two, they train them after they turn two

The good ones ( like these n this video) don’t get rode 7 days a week 2 hours a day. They are bred to do this just like any other horse, when you have the nicest bloodlines money can buy to start off with, 3/4th’s of the work is already done for you, they want to go like that all by themselves so all a good trainer has to do is get out of his the horses way. 3 days a week n a row 20-30 minutes each day is ALL that they have someone on their back. The rest of the time is spent working on ground manners and loading unloading out of the trailer getting used to clippers etc.....most people have a HUGE MISUNDERSTANDING of western pleasure horses and now days it’s even more so but I’m hear to tell you from a trainers point of view we try NOT to ride them as 2 yr olds NO MORE THAN WE ABSOLUTELY HAVE TO, we know they’re growing still and it could injure them so we try to do as much as possible on the ground as yearlings coming 2, we don’t want them wore out or crippled either, these horses got it better than most people I promise. Especially today it’s crazy how much people baby them lol!! But I do understand why people have the opinion they do about the 2 yr olds especially so I just wanted to try and provide you with a view from the other side I apologize if I offend you or come across as a bleep bleep lol

@@naomilandry7816 German sport horses are sold worldwide, most olympic medalist horses are bred in Germany or German sport horse lines. We know how to breed champions. No one in Germany would even consider starting to ride a horse before it tuns 3. No way. Two years olds are still babies with weak bones and joints. You're ruining your horses!

@@guestuser1671 hahaha my opinion has changed greatly since my comment. Starting two year olds is disgusting. Starting them at three and four is much better

I wish the horses now a days would go like this. They look crippled today. Just awful. Btw thoroughbreds race at 2 years. That’s why they do break their legs

I was thinking the same thing. It is really a horse show if nobody is watching? Everyone is glued to their phones now.

I just did!!! Haha I have watched this a few times and it’s taken me this long to realize it was country roads.

They still use an organist at the gaited shows.

In 1885 or 1985?

@@roches1989 hahahahaha ya 19

Also, notice how the horses' heads don't look like their bobbing for trout? They move like a horse instead of looking like they are lame and in pain. I had a judge once who refused to give out a first place ribbon. Let me tell ya, that straightened us all up in a hurry. Judges should do this when exhibitors think they can cheat the system for a ribbon.

The Fiesty Ginger if you are talking bad about this. This is how they are made ok. Watch a video now days this is fast for our horses.

jamee graham Apha has too

Still, many of these horses are 4 beating at the lope. QH shows were crap back then and even worse crap now.

Pretty sure they are fat now. Athletic then.
