Every Gait of a Horse, Animated 

'tired canter' aka every riding school pony ever

I Got scared when the Horse fell on it’s back after rearing.

i love this but i literally got sad at the end when the horse fell doing the rear😢

Woah, I was just doing a little research on horse skeletons and walk cycles and stuff when I found this. It really surprised me how neat this is. Sure, it doesn't show much for anatomy, but this is a great reference for walk cycles and the others you've done. Very nice! And so smooth!! I'll make sure to put this in my plans folder, thanks for doing this, it really helps. Can't believe you have so little attention for such a good thing you've got going. Amazing.

The music made this an experience

READ BEFORE COMMENTING I never seen a horse who behaves like a dog (Disney's Tangled) or a reindeer who also behaves like a dog (Frozen), yet these things are possible in animation. I never claimed I made a scientific video, 100%, absolutely realistic one. Even if a horse in real life can't walk on three legs, so what? This is a side project of mine, to learn spacing frames and timing and cycles because they are the most difficult to get right. I'm tired of people telling me about tolt and 'jump is not a gait', 'can't walk on three legs' crap. If you want real horses go watch real horses. I appreciate the insight but it's enough. You have to consider the fact that most people don't know all about horses, when they see a horse who can't stand on one leg they figure out that his leg is hurt and he is limping, AND THAT'S WHAT I WANTED TO TELL, nothing more. Animation -> communication I called fast gallop FAST because it 's really intense 9 frames/second cycle in opposition to the more relaxed 15 frames one. JESUS I know gallop is the fasted gait! I know it's hAckney not hOkney trot. It's a typo, deal with it. Also hackney is a natural gait. Check the video of a hackney pony colt showing it. For all the 'Spanish walk is abuse' 'passage is cruel' etc. This is a DRAWING, ok? How you handle your real-breathing horses is your business. Every horse is different, every trainer is different, some trainers are cruel, some are delicate, some horses like tricks and training some not. Of course I don't support abuse! Who in they right mind would support abusing an animal? Again this is a DRAWING. I can do with it whatever the hell I want with it. If I want him to walk on front legs, he will. Peace people. Grow up. As for the anatomy... Yeah, not realistic right? And so what? Did you also notice that the mane is a solid block of colour and legs get thinner when they bend? The hoofs are triangles? Not realistic at all. GOOD. It's SIMPLIFIED. It's more handy to animate that way. Also design. Have you seen 'The Last Unicorn'? 'Mulan'? Some horses are realistic some are not. You can like it, you can hate it, your business. See this list: www.buzzfeed.com/mathewguiver/the-ultimate-ranking-of-disney-horses?.mjKpDQ7BaR#.skLqMgVw90 But it's still a horse right? ALL of you recognize this creature as a horse. Gotcha! It supposed to be horse. How much can you subtract from the horse for it to be a horse? La question intéressante. Have you seen Picasso's bull experiment? No? Here: www.artyfactory.com/art_appreciation/animals_in_art/pablo_picasso.htm For all the kind people here, thank you for providing additional knowledge in cultural way. I appreciate and take it heart. This way I can get better. For all of you mister and misses KNOW-IT-ALL don't comment if you have nothing to add. Check if not sure. Wikipedia helps. All rude, offensive, hateful or plain stupid comments are deleted.

This is timed so well with the music. When the horse is getting to a faster state the music is intense and I love it!

I learned more about animation in this simple 2 minute video than I did in a 5 month freaking animation class.

I love the cartoony style

That is awesome! It was really funny when the horse reared up and fell down. It's simply fabulous, keep up the great work! Have a fantastic day!

WOW! You have got TALENT! O_O

Why don't you have more subs? It's always the good ones who go unnoticed.

The tölt will be in the next video. Stop writing about it.

Thank you so much! Was trying to find good references for horse moment! Absolutely gorgeous animation!!

Really like that you put a bit of character and humor into it :D

ITS MAJESTIC especially the rearing :P

You should make an animated horse series with this horse :)

The gallop looks great, a lot of people get the gallop wrong :D the animation is adorable!

When a I was riding a horse once I was walking around the arena and this other horse started trotting like it was a friesian and he wasn’t trained to do that at all. The rider noticed and asked my instructor if he was trained but she said he wasn’t. He only did that for a short while.

Consider a gated horse as well, good job fam you know what horses do

Why does this horse look exactly like a dog? Lol fun animation!

Is it just me or the prancing looks pretty funny

neat little video, but i just thought i'd let you know that a horse cannot physically walk on three legs. so on your lame or "limping" cycle, there could be improvement made! either way, i enjoyed the video, fun animation :)

I own s horse and have been around horses for 10yrs (I’m 14) and know all of this stuff but I just clicked on it because it looked so friggin adorable 😂😂

Those animations are adorable

Aww this is so cute!!! The rear part was funny but poor horse!!!

You really need to make a animated series on horses

That is a majestic rear

it took me awhile to realize I was watching this at 2x the speed so i was incredibly confused 😂

The prancing is so funny😂 (no hate I just think it’s funny)

This is really cool, you're awesome at this.

WOW this is so cool. I used this for a school project thanks to you 😀 and have you credit.

Your animation is I don't know the word absolutely brilliant 😉

This is rlly satisfying

CUTEY

This is so adorable >_

So cute!!

at the end tho irl i was like WASTED

Wow this is one talented horse. My bid starts at $10,000 😂

This is so neat

Ooo I love your style!!

This is so cute!!

Love the art style

This is sooo cool

Ok thats adorable

AMAZING

Excellent! Very well done! That is how a horse moves. I know horses very well. Its fun when training a horse to get them to do all those gaits that you animated, accept the limp of course, when lunging a horse. I am an artist/painter, and I'm sure I'll find this helpful someday! God bless and thank you!

Impressive

Anyone else kind of die when the didn’t chance the back lead as well

This is great!

Horses can also Pleasure trot/lope.

I love this so much!

Spanish walk and the hockey trot XD

THESE ARE SO CUTE!!!

Music is called 'The Melody of Chroniko' here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-mMrCkxf0RP8.html

I love horse riding .and thanks for the video

This is so cute

It's very good

I love this!!

I love it!

(hackney, not hockney) ; )

Aww so cute!

wooow this is the best......make game with this annimations !!!!! NICE JOB !

I have a horse and some of these were a little off like the limping one. And the trot should be slowed down and extended a little more... Other than that really good job

You should make an animation series

I love your style

OST from Kaiba

Hi Alex! I really like this! I’m thinking of making a movie (animation :v) about a horse for my 10 or less viewers XD Can I use the guidelines in this, please?I’ll credit you if yes!Let me know ASAP!Thankyou Maple :3

That was so unpredictable when the horse fell over at the end

I've never seen a horse prance like that before but overall good video

Congratulations! Great work of research!

Yeah yeah yeah!!

Tired canter is actually a "lope"

What about bucking?

1:34 omg i died😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂this video is amazing and that animated horse is very talented😅btw im just wondering if lope is a different pace to canter cuz i know that lope is a western version of canter but is it the same? 😄😄😄 Great video and funny too😍🐴

nice!!

There also is a tolt which is my personal favourite gate!

Po prostu G E N I A L N E

WHY DID YOU ADD THAT LAST SAD PART ALEX *cri cri*

Okay so even though the anatomy definitely isn't the focus in this Video one (in my opinion) quite big mistake is that in the video the horse's back is bending upwards as it moves just like it would in a dog or a cat. Concerning the movement of a horse it is a very important factor that it's back does not do that so I think it would be useful to consider this for depicting the gaits as it makes the movement more realistic. Anyways: I generally really enjoyed the video and will surely use it for getting a better knowledge of the horse's leg movements in different gaits

Great job!

It's so cute!

Is it okay if I reference some of these? :0

Besides prance this vid is very good

Cool!!😄😄😄

Not sure what's up with the prance, but otherwise quite well done!

Great job :D

So is that supposed to be a duck

needs a little work as some of the gaits aren't natural(if that's what you was going for) but very impressive animation

This is really cool :D

WRITE HERE WHICH HORSE MOTIONS AND GAITS I SHOULD ANIMATE IN THE NEXT VIDEO! =)

This is useful to me (I don't anim8 tho)ps what's the music

I'm not 100 percent sure, but I believe gaits like the Spanish gait are forced by tar or something burned onto the horses foot and made it hurt to walk. But I'm not sure so.

Uh, the pace more so falls under the category of a walk as the hooves do not move on the diagonal (such as back left, front right). They move as if it would be a walk (such as front left, back left and vice versa)

Jumping is my favorite...

Jejku, jednak Polacy są nieco utalentowani.

cant resist watching is it psd or vector?

You forgot the tölt, and its called Hackney, not hokney otherwise well done its amazing =D

Wheres the buck? Or like spook or, tolt? Or even roll?

What about the tölt? And the trot/walk where a horse takes really fast and small steps? (don't know the name) and lope,jog?
