SALE VIDEOS | TANGO | AVAILABLE 

They already have Ambassador. Camille did an amazing job getting him under saddle. He was already gentled. He was a young man’s TIP challenge that got sold at the mustang makeover show as a yearling. The owner couldn’t keep him and ended up at a horse auction. When they found out they scrapped together money to purchase him back and transfer over to Camille.

I would get a baby and train him/her

@@madisonlee9775 what do u mean? xx

He’s… he’s posing for a picture 😂 it ain’t that serious

@@CamillesMustangs Oh, my dear, you are so mistaken. Think about someone who has extremely bad posture. Think about them doing heavy lifting. Think about them injuring their lower back. Think about them injuring their lower back on a daily basis, because they have no choice in the matter. That is Tango's present and future. You need to educate yourself about biomechanics. Get down on your hands and knees, hollow your back, and lift up your chin to make your neck hollow as well. Then try to lift both hands off the ground. Just try. Ain't gonna happen. Then pull your knees a bit under your belly, round your back, and tuck you chin in slightly. Now lift both hands off the ground. Easy as pie. This is basic, basic biomechanics. The stronger your core and your back muscles, the easier it is to lift heavy weights. Poor Tango has absolutely no topline muscle. NONE. He will gradually incur more and more injury. He will develop "kissing spines" and other skeletal maladies. The science of equine biomechanics was well developed a couple of hundred years ago. The purpose of these principles is to prolong the healthy working life of the horse. When these principles are ignored, the horse suffers. Take the time to educate yourself. Your horses will benefit and you will have the pleasure of riding a horse that is light in its movement and joyful in his work. Long and low. It's not rocket science. It's just common sense to recognize how the cantilevered head, reaching out long and low, will develop the back muscles. It's just common sense to recognize that a horse needs to develop its back muscles to carry the unnatural weight of the rider. Think how important it is for a human being to strengthen their core and back. It's common sense. Look at the photograph. Tango has no back muscles. Consequently, his spine and barrel are sagging down like the cables on a suspension bridge (think: Golden Gate Bridge). His neck isn't arched properly. It's upside down. (Try holding your own head that way. Try working with your head that way. You won't like it.) To educate yourself, start by entering "long and low" in the RU-vid search engine. You need to learn how to do it properly. (I suggest the "Art2Ride channel.). Then go to your library and order any book that they have by Gerd Heuschmann (You may need to access Interlibrary Loan, i.e., ILLIAD). Heuschmann is a veterinarian and dressage master who has been waging a campaign to persuade people to train their horses so as to avoid skeletal injury. Any of his books, "Tug of War", "Collection or Contraction", or especially "Balancing Act" ("In no uncertain terms, this book asks what it is to be a responsible rider."), will describe horse biomechanics clearly, explaining clearly the harm done by ignorant riders.

@Emaleigh’s Horses Look at the initial photo. His back is slung down like the cables on a suspension bridge (think: the Golden Gate Bridge). The rider's weight is forcing his spine deeper into that painful arc. Imagine what that would be like for your own back if you were on your hands and knees, your head and your butt the high points with a heavy weight forcing your spine down. It would do damage to your spine, with the damage getting worse with each episode. It is not natural for a horse to carry weight on its back. A good horse trainer's highest priority is to develop the muscles of the horse so that it is easier for him to carry the weight of the rider. This poor horse lacks that muscle development, and thus carries the rider with a hollow back. His high head shows that he is trying to avoid the pain. You yourself would arc your back this way if someone were stabbing a knife into the small of your back (the weak point of the spine). A properly trained horse has a well developed topline, i.e., the muscles on its back and neck are well developed, enabling it to carry weight with ease. In movement, with a well developed topline, the hind legs reach deeply under the horse's belly so that the feet hit the ground directly under the burden of the rider's weight, helping the horse to arch its back under the rider (the opposite of the painful suspension-bridge arc). Hollow back. Think about it. No human athlete could perform for long with the bad posture of a hollow back. Ask any chiropractor. A chiropractor will tell you that bad posture eventually results in crippling back pain. Now add weight. Bad posture would cause the back of a weight lifter to break down in short order. Horses ridden with the bad posture of a hollow back will eventually break down with back pain. In contrast, a properly trained horse will remain strong and healthy into old age. A horse's body structure is such that 60% of its weight is carried on its front feet. A properly trained horse, with its back arched upward and with its hind feet reaching under its belly, will carry more of its weight on its hind feet, allowing the forehand to move with nimble lightness. This nimble lightness is evidence that the horse is comfortable carrying the weight of the rider. This is what you are seeing when a well-trained horse moves beautifully under saddle, when the horse moves with joy. There is no joy when a hollow-backed horse moves with pain. Camille is well-intentioned, but Camille needs to take riding lessons from a trainer who has a deep understanding of the bio-mechanics of the ridden horse. It's night and day. It is a revelation. She would delight in the difference. By the way, when you fling an insult such as "hater", you are revealing that you are incapable of making a logical, well-articulated argument. People imagine that an insult shows how clever they are, but in fact an insult reveals the opposite.

@@zeitgeist5134 Hi from Germany, sorry my english is not good enough to put all of my thoughts in words, but it is not only the photo,which shows a poor amount of muscles, you can see it the work afterwards. There are big problems on curved lines, because of the balance. The trott and canter are missing the power of the hind legs, the neck needs muscles too in the top part. We call it long and deep riding, to work a horse from the hind legs, over the back and neck to the bridle. At these level of education it is not a beginner horse, even he shows a great attitude, but he needs an expeprienced rider, for a solid education, to stay healthy and happy. This is no hate or whatever you will call it, just constructive criticism from a professional rider and instructor . The reason why I´m on RU-vid is my interest in working with mustangs, which is really different compared with my work with hanovarians and sport ponys. In the end, if we wish to ride them, we have to work them all the same.

@@CoCo-pz4pv Thank you for confirming my comments. I fully agree that the videos of Tango in movement further reveal the nature of the problem. I remarked upon the initial photo in order to keep the critique simple for those who have never been exposed to these ideas. Camille's comment ("He's posing for a picture. It ain't that serious.") shows how hard it is to help people recognize how their ignorance does harm to the horse. In the US, few riders are educated about bio-mechanics under saddle. It is discouraging. In Germany, you are fortunate that the Classical Horsemanship tradition is so well established. I am sure that few horses in Germany suffer the fate endured by this little mustang.
