Possibly not an accident, piaffe has historically be used in war as a holding pattern. I have heard of mounted police using the movement that way as well. It’s keeping the horse engaged with the rider so he doesn’t start freaking out as well.
That wasn't accidental..that horse was dancing.He may have been a former show horse...these horses get adopted out to the Police force..That gorgeous horse looks to be part lippizen, or Andalusian with that flowing mane, and tail.. they are usually in show.
Ambria Daniels abused? Wow 😂 sooo what your saying it that it’s his fault for getting after the horse because it’s clearly acting up. See we created things like spurs, crops, whips etc. to teach the horse that what they did is wrong, if you just sit there and let it happen the horse will think “oh! I can get away with this and have to do less work!” And overall the horse will keep doing it again and again and again until someone gets hurt.
You never know what will "spook" a horse. I wonder if it was the blue garbage can to the left? I also noted the comment below that the horse didn't like the surface under his hooves. We had a horse that would get crazy in the fall whenever leaves blew into his stall. Great job calming the horse while teaching him to move forward. Both riders are highly skilled. And both horses are beautiful !!
Love to see how the rider stayed calm and relaxed, did not yank the mouth and kept a soft rein so as to not give this horse any more reason to feel a little frightened and perhaps claustrophobic in the crowded city. He did not lose his temper or become frustrated to the point of giving any unnecessary punishment. No matter how "bombproof" a horse may seem they still have their flight instincts, and one would be ignorant to not be prepared and aware of the fact a horse can still get spooked. Their bond saved this horse from completely losing his shit and bolting off, since, even though he was obviously very on edge, he still managed to listen to his rider in the end, turning to him for reassurance and confidence. If only more people were able to handle situations like this with their horses in a grounded leadership mentality. Big difference between being the "boss" and being a leader for the horse.
@@StallionBY Unless you're kicking like a maniac, the horse feels a bit of a nudge from spurs that would bloody us immediately. If you don't believe me, take the shedding blade your horse loves to be brushed with and run it along your own body, see how good it feels to you.
Again, this movement is a standard police horse-trained movement for moving people in crowds. The horse was not upset or frightened or anything but obedient, certainly not "runaway". Still, I don't like the spurs, shank bits, etc.
Please that was just a hissy fit jumping at shadows and not liking the surface it was having to walk on. That was certainly not a runaway. However the rider was very calm and skilled ensuring it didnt get out of hand.
Ambria Daniels That horse looks to be young, a little over stimulated but he probably LOVES his job. There was a day that I clapped my hands about 600 feet away from one of my horses. He got so spoked he turned our metal gate into a V (he didn’t have a scratch on him) after that he turned his brain on and went back to eating grass. That’s just horses.
Afke Brolsma the police horses however need to desensitize to these things, however. The unit does not need horses rearing in fear at the sound of sirens.
@@endacraig1 becuase you are that sturdy on a horse he was clearly trying to turn the horse in circles but the horse wasnt listening so he is going to use his spurs
I've ridden in a lot of parades in mounted colorguards. One year we returned to annual parade where it was once a wide street, had been remodeled with island in the middle. It made for narrow path, and the perspective to the horses was tight passage through sea of toddlers in strollers, with building at the end. Two of our horses acted the same that day as this video here. Narrow tree-lined sidewalk. Horses see all around them and this horse was having claustrophobia. I hope he improved and became a good cop.

Wife and I own a horse, and we love riding. Have made some great friends too. But one thing is for sure, lots of equestrians have lots of opinions on what everyone else should be doing. Can’t work with your horse at a large barn without someone giving unsolicited “advice”... some of these comments show that
I agree it is frustrating when know it alls but in. I keep my mouth shut because I know I'm no trainer. The only time I say anything is when I see someone doing something abusive or dangerous, which is rare. Stay well and enjoy your horses!
Ah, that's what the comment section is there for. To get opinions. Once in a while you can learn something from them or just get a different perspective. However I would not do that uninvitec from another equestrian unless asked either.
That's why I never bother posting videos. I wouldn't mind if they were competing in the sport and know their stuff but the comments tend to come from people who have either never put a foot on a horse and want to boost their ego or people who went on a trail ride or 2 and think they're experts.
I agree with 601salsa in some ways. This Andalusian Stallion is trying to avoid something scaring him which is ahead of him. I wonder if it is the blue box (garbage bin?) to the left of him, because once he passed it, he was fine. I like the way the two riders worked so well together, first by letting this white Andalusian Stallion go pass on the right, so the brown Andalusian Stallion took the lead to the left. Great team, stayed calm and collected and did not feed any added fear into either stallion. Good job.
It could possibly be the HOT pavement...stones....unless they have rubber shoes it does get hot during parades etc. We tend not to think about it but it is something we should think about. Yes, I ride horses.
@@colleencarroll4190 Hot pavement does not bother horses. Some are given hot shoeing. I agree that they should have rubber or some sort of grippy shoes.
I can't believe they're allowed to ride without helmets! On a concrete surface, if he comes off and hits his head... I realise that helmet-wearing is much less prevalent in some parts of the world, but the kind of work mounted police do and the environments in which they work would place them at far greater risk of falling off and getting injured than a rider just practicing dressage in a sand arena.

endacraig1 He was giving very direct instructions for the horse to listen to, when the horse ignored him he added pressure. Once the horse did what he was asked, he released. Each to their own, I personally don’t wear spurs but from my perspective this was far from animal cruelty. I have seen many inexperienced riders let their emotions get the best of them and I have had something to say but this guy didn’t get upset, he wasn’t asking for anything the horse couldn’t manage. (Horse to stand in shade/shadow of tree) It is very difficulty become a mounted police officer, they’re carefully selected and it’s their job to ride in the public eye and should never hurt a fellow officer (the horses). If you’re genuinely concerned for the horse, perhaps you saw something I didn’t, then by all means, report the video.
@@bladelizdemon Very direct instructions to do what precisely? ..... Standing under the shade of the tree was an accidental destination and where the horse stood quietly the spur having been removed. The continued prolonged use of the spur indicates that this rider has little regard for it's proper use. There are many things here which would call into question this rider's mindset. In any event this was hardly an acceptable location for an attempted training session if indeed that's what it was. This, as you can see, is a highly strung young stallion. ..... you call it ' pressure ' .... i call it abuse . He should be grounded permanently.
endacraig1 it looked to me like the horse was spooking at shadow from the start so rider was asking horse to stand on shadow (under tree) to see there was nothing to be afraid of. Again, you must have seen something I didn’t.
@@endacraig1 well, you are the one who obviously don't know about it. This man reminded calm, he wasn't screaming at his horse, he wasn't beating him, kicking him, anything like that. He simply helped his horse to calm down. Obviously it was younger horse in training, so that's why he was scared. Sorry not sorry for my english
The rider did a great job of staying calm and steady with the reins and letting the horse figure things out . Very experienced rider for sure. He stayed calm and positive. Gave the horse confidence to go forward without fear 🙏🏻🙏🏻❤️❤️

Horses can be silly creatures. One gelding I loved to bits was 99.9% bombproof, alright one time he kicked a bus because it got 2 foot from his arse, but otherwise nothing bothered him. A bit of a tank being a percheron/Irish Draft horse. Horses spooking and running into him? Act like a roadblock. Illegal dirtbikers riding kind of dangerously and reving their engines, no problem! Put them in their place when they discover the collosal size of this animal. Little white butterfly boops him on the nose? OH HELL NAW! There was also this one other horse that managed to find a tiny sweet wrapper amongst the recycled material schooling surface. It was like, one out of a box of sweets and somehow THAT was scary. You never know what might be out there to get them LOL.
Oh. I feel that white butterfly spook. My mare is perfect with most traffic, tractors, tarps, umbrellas, etc. But she dumped me because of a cricket. Wasn't even a big cricket.
Yes! I've known horses like that. My pal Nehemiah would squeeze between the gatepost and front end loader when we would plow out the barnyard but if he saw one anywhere else it was on like Donkey Kong. Another mare would respond to the same exact item like a ditch or a tree. One time it would be fine another time she would spook. Kept you on your toes for sure
Beautifully handled by the officer. No panic, no overreacting, no harsh punishment, worked the horse past the scary object without anyone getting hurt, including the horse.
Idk what you definition of equestrian is but ive been breaking green horses then training and selling them for years now and your comment hurt me bit haha. In my experience nobody talks to their horses like that except for in the movies and people who think the movies are realistic. In all reality speaking to a horse like that which you already have saddled and/or are sitting on is more confusing to it. Especially since a well trained horse should have very specific commands it follows only and everything else it should ignore. By that i mean where you said "whoooa calm down your okay" one of my horses would have locked up at the word whoah, then ignored every other word. And if you are to the point where you are trying to calm a horse by speaking like that the horse must be very untrained, and if the horse is trained you may want to try calming it with body language and touch. They are much more effective to a horse that trusts you, or has literally ever had a rider on it. I wouldn't have jumped on this comment if you hadn't said "im such an equestrian LOL" horse enthusiasts say that, not equestrians. And in all reality people like me who use horses as tools instead of pets find the term equestrian pretty annoying in the first place since it is generally associated with poorly trained horses and riders.
Pay attention to the horses ears too. Their ears are the same as the body. If you're not paying attention the horse won't give you its direct attention.

This rider is AMAZING but i have no clue why the horse appears stressed. I'm sure his owner is very aware. But they found the PERFECT mounted police officer
Someone I know who is very experienced in this field is Dr. Temple Grandin PhD ~ look at her here on RU-vid ~ she does plenty of lectures on RU-vid. Yes she is also autistic and written loads of books on animal behaviour and autism. Wonderful individual if you can get her DVD on how she grew up. Actress Claire Danes plays her in the DVD simply called "Temple Grandin".
Policías en la calle y los caballos sin los calzados que por regla general en todos los países tienen que ponerles, son zapatos especiales para ellos,hasta en los países más pobres los caballos que andan en el asfalto, ciudad , etc,etc,van con calzado,es cosa de ver que el va inseguro ,porque resbalan con herraduras. Pobres que deficiencia.👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎
As others have pointed out, some of this nervous behavior was probably a reaction to the shadows. But sometimes horses act like this when they want to be in the lead. From their point of view, this is a competition with the other horse.
Not a runaway. Just a training session of the white horse walking on shadows of the trees and lamps. Horse is thinking "OMG.. that is a bottomless hole. No way." Dancing around trying to avoid putting feet onto the shadow. Beautiful Andalusian. Good rider calmly doing training. Second rider & horse are helping. I do think that riders should wear helmets, just in case.

Perhaps we can let the horses go live at a sanctuary and leave them alone. In modern times/cities they just look like they're being used as show pieces to walk around on. They walk by me in my city and I feel sad for the horses being trotted around on major loud streets, they're so sensitive. Is there a point to sitting up on a horse, in a downtown city? #banhorsecarriages #adoptdontshop #horsesanctuaries #retirepolicehorses #VEGANISM
This horse is simply unprepared to do what he is being asked to do. His temperament may not ever allow him to be a police horse. Using horses for mounted police work is not abuse despite what some may think. The trained mounted officer is the equivalent of ten officers on foot and that is a conservative estimate. The operative term is a trained pair: to wit, both the officer and horse. This horse is a detriment at the time of the filming and if the horse had been properly trained and desensitized the officer/trainer would have known if the horse was ready to place a hoof on the street. The mounted officer has skills and is using them; however, this horse is no where near ready for patrol work and that comes down to human error for allowing this situation to get to this point. The training at this stage NEVER takes place on the street. It is simply too dangerous for all involved:; to wit: the Officer, the horse and the public The back-up officer and horse need to get over to this pair, get a hold of the white horse and escort the pair back to the stables. Moving away from the horse and officer having trouble is making it worse. Make no mistake this is a situation which is one phone call away from CNN. Written by a retired police officer who served on a police mounted patrol both as an officer and trainer for the Unit.
Thank you for your service sir! I rather agree with your assessment. Had it gone further, the grey would quickly have become a 1200 pound danger to the people he is being trained to protect. It looked like this happened next to a cafe with outdoor seating, and there were plenty of people walking by on the other side of the trees. Looks like they need to head back yo the yard for some more sacking out...
You know nothing for all your claimed experience. This is ignorant abuse of a horse. Continuous spurring ( right leg ) for no apparent reason makes this a case of cruelty. This rider does not deserve this horse and shoud be reported for unnecessary cruelty.
@@endacraig1 The horse deserves a lot worse than what it got. And you don't deserve the protection our police give you. Your attitude is self righteous, ignorant and shameful. You are so concerned for an animal who would kill you to get its own rear to safety, but you care nothing for the brave men and women who daily put their lives on the line for all of us. You are a disgrace.
The title was a lie , there isn’t a runaway horse. I don’t care if you are lying to get subscribers , all liars will have their part in the lake of fire. God is greater than RU-vid . If your videos are good then you do not have to falsely advertise your videos with lying titles.
I think he should have gotten off and checked under the saddle and or maybe given the horse some water or something. Something was obviously bothering that horse. Those horses are trained very well, and for it to act like that leads me to believe that there was something either under the saddle that was bothering her/him or maybe it was having a heat stroke. That can happen! Just from the way both horses tried to get underneath the trees in the shade for a minute indicated to me that they were excessively over heated.
THIS ISNT SYMPATHY!!! OMG What planet are you on!!!??? Thank you Melissa for calling this idiot out on this CRAP behavior by human...abuse the hell out sentient beings. Fuck that
@@ambriadaniels8786 I love how the horse is the one acting up and the human gets all the blame. Typical left wing nut job living in a fairy world where discipline is abuse and being made to work is cruel and unusual punishment.
Tutti sono bravi a dare i consigli speroni , colica , paura . Nella polizia non hai possibilità di scegliere. Ti viene assegnato un cavallo e quello è... Comunque cavalli sono animali hanno anche loro dei giorni si è dei giorni no...
@@ambriadaniels8786 And how do you know what situation a horse will spook at until you arrive at it? I'll give an example. My current horse is pretty much bombproof. Live cows, machines etc. Not one problem..until we came close to a dreaded plywood cow cutout. In 0.05 of second I was in this situation. You, dear Ambria, seem to have lots of experience, so please educate me on what I may do to avoid this in the future?
it looked like he was new to the streets and was probably still adjusting to the new smells, sounds and sights. alternatively he looked like he was spooked by that blue bin. also i agree, that was a beautiful horse! i think that maybe it was a lusitano?
