I love the rewarding seen throughout the video. even when the horse got nervous, they let it calm down and reassure it. wonderful training (although some of the riders were meh)
Dude with a mule is a BOSS! SIDEBAR - if there was any chance your horse was scared before they sure as hell aren't after this. Thanks for sharing. It was awesome to see the drills.
maby the black one is not as long in training than the others. This horse os more nervous and flinches a lot. The rider doesn't pull that much. He has more contact and just doesn't give rain, when the horse wants to pull against it.
@@johanna7096 Yet you can still see how horrible the riders position is, he's half falling off the horse most of the time, and relying on the reins for his balance. Yanking on the horses mouth is no excuse for a "young horse" or a horse that is "still in training". Also yes, he may just use more contact with the bit however explain to me why his position is horrible, he bounces from side to side almost falling off, and holding his hands so damn high. Also not sure where they got the saddles from but I personally am an English rider but to me the stirrups look extremely long on some of the horses, meaning they keep their heels down, legs straight causing them to loose balance and rely on the reins for help, then causing unnecessary pain for the horses mouth. Lastly, before you start roasting someone on things that aren't true, correct your spelling it's rein, not rain. biach
That mule was the most calm and talented creature. I don't think mules get as much credit as they should; many people think of them as not being able to do as much as any horse can do but they can do nearly as much work as any normal horse! Mules rock man, and I think they are underappreciated and underestimated by many equestrians.
Maybe a bit more practice outdoors?? Outdoors offers more distractions. Get the horse used to something indoors, then move out into a paddock, then open terrain??
Thoughtful, surefooted, tough, Wicked smart. You may not be able to canter down a road on a horse, but a *well trained and conditioned* mule won't have a problem.
I just started watching the video. The lady cop who first appears and speaks, talks like a valley girl. She uses a higher inflection towards the end of each sentence. So every sentence sounds like she's asking a question. It's so annoying to me. I'm not a Californian but I was born and raised on the west coast of the US my whole life. It really must be the Californian way to talk. What's weird about it is I haven't come across men who speak that way only ladies. I love how they're riding a mule which is shown in the part where they're in the arena sacking the horses out. That's so awesome.
Half of these officers have absolutely no idea what they are doing. For the love of God please put way more lessons and training into these riders before allowing them on the streets!
I'm sorry, but can you tell me why you need horses in the police force? Not being rude to horses in any way, but besides riding them what type of special abilities do they have. they don't have an amazing nose like a dog do. NEWS FLASH you don't need horses in the police force.
Mounted units are good for crowd control as they’re more visible and allow a higher viewpoint for the officer. However, their most important use is community outreach as mounted police officers gain more attention and civilians are more likely to begin talking to them and interacting with them in a polite manner out of interest. It helps with public image and perception and makes cops seem more approachable.
Some of them looked too big for some horses, tho. And probably over half of them can't even ride. Please start using bitless, 'cause...... Why the fuck not? But the video was cool
gotcha, Well i don't know. Usually in mounted forces its mostly draft breeds as they are huge and strong and are given more respect then the little mules and ponies they have in here. It's fascinating
