What an incredible display of horses and horsemanship! I pray I will get to see them in person someday, but for now, I go to the Lippizaner shows to see them..
I love this! The only thing I would correct is that observation is a large part of science, and knowing which horses to breed to achieve the desired outcome is scientific even if there was no blood test.
What I wonder is that It might be best to let the hoarses choose there mates freely. I dont know if that would lead to a inferior hoarses but it is more in line with the way they can live in the wild.
@@Christian-vs2rf I understand what you’re saying, but horses choose based on biology - hormones. In captivity, horses need to have good temperament. It’s the horses with bad temperaments that end up being sold at auction to kill buyers and sent to Mexico for meat. It’s a responsibility of the breeder to make sure that the only horses they breed have excellent temperaments, solid minds, and don’t have known genetic problems. If we just turned our horses out to choose their own mate, we’d end up with a very smart horse, but one that could have conformation issues like dropped pasterns, short fetlocks, or be prone to colic or laminitis. Those are just a few issues that our current herd are dealing with. Currently, I have only one horse I would breed, but she has a fertility problem that causes potential health issues…. All of my horses have amazing things about themselves, but I wouldn’t be a responsible breeder if I let them choose.
@@jenniferbell4571 I am with you on the temperament issue if the hoarses are kept in captivity. However I dont think illness would become more widespread if they can choose there mates. As you said they choose based on biology. One day when I live together with hoarses on our land I wont keep them in a fenced area. They will have a beautiful shelter for the time they want ro be there and can roam the land however they want. My favorite statement about hoarses is that they choose to carry us, and could throw us off there backs in a heart beat if the wanted to.
"Our horses are our friends" Bull shit. They are not your friends when you have 2 fucking bits in their mouth to control them with major pressure and pain. That is not friendship, that is just a slave and slave owner relationship. It also shows his ignorance with horses. No horses need a bit if they are trained correctly. Those who say other wise don't know a damn thing about horse behavior.
I don't mean to be negative, or denigrate this woman, but I have been around many many different breeds of horses, in herds with foals...especially "hot bloods" such as Arabians and Thoroughbreds. It's the persons behavior that sets a horse off, not their breed. I have been accepted calmly and in very friendly fashion and with curiosity and acceptance from them. I understand this woman wanting to "talk up" the breed, but I can't stand it when she makes it sound as if this is one of the few breeds that are like this, and they are so special and amazing in temperament. ANY responsible breeder strives for even temperament. I love the Andalusian breed, among others, but please don't make it sound as if these are "magical" traits that few have. Be real. These are horses.
They are similar breeds, however bereber horses are a different breed, "andalusian" horses are essentially the native breed and have been around for probably over 20 000 years in the iberian peninsula way before the jihadists invaded
This is the barb horses, amazigh North African horses. Strong, smart, short head and ears, bigger hooves, thick neck and big chest this is the pure barb.
If this horse is completely Spanish, then the Alhambra and the Mosque of Cordoba are also completely Spanish, it is very clear that there is an Arab influence in these horses
ROFL. These are ***NOT*** pure blooded ancient bloodline Carthusian Andalusians. Anyone who knows the breed can tell instantly as ****true*** Carthusian Andalusians have **concave** faces, like Arabians, and are ***ONLY*** grey. What you are showing here are the modernday Andalusians - the run of mill average Andalusian, a mongrel in comparison to Carthusians as it is influenced by other breeds - with some potential Carthusian Andalusian influence.
Dear Eliza A, thank you for your comment. We asked the stud farm about it. Here's what they said: "It is important to make clear, the Cartujano horse is a lineage WITHIN the Andalusian Horse (please check Spanish laws BOE-A-2018-749 and BOE-A-2019-2859). Therefore the racial prototype is the same: www.ancce.es/tutorial-de-la-raza/english Regarding the shape of the head, Cartujano lineage has never had concave profiles. The face of the Cartujanos have always been either straight or slightly convex. [...] Regarding the colors or coats of these horses in ancient times, please find enclosed a picture with the figures of the amount of horses that the monks had from 1747 to 1806, separated by colors. This information has been taken from the official archive of historical documents of the city Jerez de la Frontera. www.revistadehistoriadejerez.com/revista-de-historia-de-jerez/volumen-11-12-2005-2006/ Number 11-12, 2005/2006, page 64. The monks had horses registered with 6 different colors. In fact in 1747 the 60% of what they had was brown and 32% black. Only a 5.5% was grey (white). These coats changed over the years and in 1806, the brown and black coats together were 52.5% and grey coat supposed 40.6%" We hope these information are helpful for you. If you have any further question please let us know. Best, DW Euromaxx
@@dweuromaxx Thank you for explaining this and sharing this important information. Now, will you kindly send me a sample horse? I promise I will love it forever! a I’ll even let it share my bed! ❤️ 🇺🇸 liza
@@dweuromaxx I must agree with everything you said. Especially the shape of the nose bridge. The oldest most authentic bloodlines have convexed faces that curve slightly outward. The exact opposite of the Arabian horse.
Andalusian horses are direct descendants of Iberian horses, that is, endemic to Spanish territory. We talk about horses with more than 20,000 years of history, on their backs and have a remote origin. Andalusian horses already existed at the end of the Neolithic period, when they began to be domesticated and ridden by warriors and nomadic tribes.
