Everyone talks how much the horse trusts its rider, and while that's true, I am also amazed by the trust the riders has in his horse. You could not pay me enough to fool around with a horse like that.
Been around horses all my life. Never have i seen anyone do all the things this man has taught this extremely beautiful intelligent horse. Both of you are truely amazing. Love that white tail!!
Horses are far more intelligent that people give the credit for... The problems of course are attitude, slow learning, permanently scared, herd behaviour (always) in their DNA).
You can tell how good he treats his horse, and how much that horse trusts his rider. Their relationship is strong and not built from fear. I enjoyed this with a good mind.
I really do love how the whole time the horse doesn’t look distressed. He mostly looked like he was having a good time. Plus the amount of trust this horse has in his rider is amazing. You can’t tell that the horse was enjoying it and just genuinely loves his rider.
I don’t think I’ve ever seen such a calm horse that actually puts up with this and is trained so well to do the right thing at the right time. Like that was amazing bravo. The horse didn’t even looked stressed or anything it looked so happy and like it was having fun. Wow just wow. That is the most amazing thing I’ve ever seen in my entire live. The horse literally acted like a dog. That’s just so crazy. Best video on YT and best performance I’ve ever seen with horses. Bravo to the person who trained this horse and must have spent all day every day getting ready for this. Such a great actor. This was a great thing to film!
Brings tears to my eyes. Just knowing horses and the dedication and trust that horse has in him is truly remarkable. Especially in a cheering auditorium. It's not evey day you see mastery.

@@yogiballa◄ Acts 16 ► 30And brought them out, and said, Sirs, what must I do to be saved? 31And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house. 32And they spake unto him the word of the Lord, and to all that were in his house. 33And he took them the same hour of the night, and washed their stripes; and was baptized, he and all his, straightway. 34And when he had brought them into his house, he set meat before them, and rejoiced, believing in God with all his house.
This horse is beautiful!! Love the relationship between the two. As calm as this horse is he looks to be enjoying the attention and interaction. Plus the tricks of the horse himself shows how smart horses are. I mean look at that baby bow at the end of the performances. Love it 💜
I am entirely convinced that this horse was born a star. His coloration is absolutely stunning, with the mane and tail two different colors, the faint white stripe along the withers (I think that's what it's called, but I could be wrong), and with the marking on the left side of the hindquarters. Also, I always heard about this act because Breyer made a model off of Pokerjoe years back. But actually seeing it makes me appreciate how beautiful Pokerjoe actually is.
They eyes of the horse while on its back was so calm. There was no sign of stress...almost relaxation. His ears were constantly on his act partner listening for cues and watching him. You only saw his whites when he got up, normal...but. he truly loves his human.
How can u be so sure he's enjoying this or not having other choise!!!(you all know what happen when a horse scape or try to go away and be free from their "master"humans!) Its so sad they are cargo pupets of humans...I want spirit movie be more popular and teach all humans to be more respectfull to this unique and misunderstood creature victim of a egos of human kin(even in history battles they paid the biggest price suffering on battles). They are not created for all of this ☹️

Horses act just like giant,hooves dogs...If you have the love of a horse...the antics are unless 😆...they are very strange and mischievous 🥰🥰🥰🥰 nd, Horses WILL NOT...and I mean WILL NOT do this unless there is complete love and trust.
Not only is the horse a looker but Incredibly well trained clearly. Even his ear carriage matches the action. He seems to enjoy performing with His partner
i'm almost 60 years old, i remember a time when funny things like this would be on tv all the time. i miss stuff like this and it's so good to see something so innocently funny!!...thank you!!!
Wouldn't the kids today be shocked. Well, the City kids anyway. I think Country kids have an advantage of living in the real world more. It would be so nice. My favorite show as a kid was Mr. Ed. Nobody could convince me that Horse couldn't talk. I still love that show. ❤This horse is INCREDIBLE, so smart, sweet and GORGEOUS. ✨💞🐴✨
What amazes me is that the horse was absolutely perfect, every move just right with never a hoof placed wrongly. That's a long and complicated act, and the horse is a real ham, but he never gets distracted.

Wow! The relationship between Tommy and Pokerjoe is amazing, you can tell it was built on trust, respect and love. No horse will do the stuff this one does unless they trust their rider/trainer. Pokerjoe is in fantastic condition, what a magnificent animal that is smart and very well trained.
Tommy Turvey actually got on the the cell phone my mom handed him to say hello to me while I was at work and couldn't go to the show. He autographed my purple purse which my mom took for him to sign for him and poker Joe. Never leaving out his horse. He is a great trainer and actor with poker Joe too!!! If your not a horse person you never will get just how much work ,hours and how deep this bond is. Not every horse will go as far as poker Joe it's the man and horse together that makes the team and the show .So don't hate or judge something you don't understand just watch and enjoy!!!!!! Tommy thank you for great shows you and poker Joe will always be engraved in history like John Lyons and kip. Merry Christmas
It's a combo of both. Probably audible and visual signal cues, but horses have absolutely incredible memories and can get to the point with a routine that they need very little direction. Often they can remember the same trail, person, course, etc. even decades since they have last seen it.
That horse has a sense of humor. You can tell as he's walking out. When he was belly up and trainer was moving his legs around he looked sooo relaxed, his eyes all blinky-sleepy and his leg joints completely loose. I've done a tiny bit of horse massage (Tellington Touch), but, of course, never worked with such an incredibly relaxed animal. Never made a connection that deep. A horse could not do something like this that requires such complete relaxation, pliability and focus if it wasn't having fun. You can't MAKE an animal relax. You have to be genuinely and deeply cool with and respectful of one another. So amazing to see this horse/human connection.
Erika Joa AMEN! I agree with u. I'm a horse owner/lover. This horse IS a ham and enjoying his job. Domesticated horses need a job, in my humble opinion. They thrive when given love and a disciplined lifestyle. Those kind-hearted folks who are critical of this act likely are not horse owners. I suspect they believe that the happiest horses are wild, roaming the earth in herds. I beg to differ. Our horses don't live in constant fear of predators, sleeping with the proverbial one eye open. Naw, this duo here are tight, enjoying their job together; I'd bet my strongest leg!
Rebekah Wilkinson Yes! Inter- species connections are among the greatest blessings on this Earth. Those two were we're fortunate to have discovered each other and their compatible temperaments and brilliant enough to create such a playful relationship.
I need this horse for my grandkids! I actually saw him do his act and it’s amazing. The hours he spends with the horses must be in the millions! Great trainer and an exceptional horse.
I havent been around horses in a good few years i miss them alot! This horse was very calm! It was incredible to watch the love these two share! I can't wait to start riding again!!
The patience and obedience of that horse is unreal. The trainer, too, to put in the time, thought, and effort to train that horse so well. Major kudos to them both!
For all those who think his tail is dyed or bleached, it is *not.* Pokerjoe is an American Paint Horse. He has minimal Tobiano markings. You may notice he has a white patch on the left side of his rump. That white patch extends to most of his dock, which causes most of his skirt to be white. the black stripe in his tail is due to the small portion of his dock that is not masked by white. You can tell he is Tobiano because of his high stockings and few white markings that originate from his topline, like the patch on his rump and the very thin white marking on the right side of his withers.
You can tell it’s the real deal. There’s a big or go of white on the one side that bleeds right into the rail as well. I’ve seen horses with the most beautiful colorings. They remind me of how cats can have unique coats as well.
Stunning Horse!! Love his unique markings + and that tail, plus his white socks w/black bands... And he is sooo calm thru-out...He seemed like a well-trained dog -- which is TOTALLY different in nature to a horse! Someone said for this level of trust, this man must have bottle-fed him from day one... Truly Amazing! 💞🏇🏿🐴🏇🏿💞
Horses have a wonderful sense of humour if you really like and understand them. My two rescue boys often take my wrist between their teeth and look at me with a mischievous expression as if to say: "I you know I could bite if I wanted to!" And we play catch, Lucky my lame boy pushes me with his head or nips his mate Ollie when hand-shy Ollie is fussing too much before having his rug on... they are a hoot!
He probably bottle fed that guy from day one. That animal is completely relaxed and liking the attention . There is no way a horse would do that if it didn't want to.
If he'd bottle fed that horse from day 1 that horse would be psychology screwed. Horses human raised often do not behave or train nearly as easily as horses raised by horses.
@@haleylahaie3740 well, that's funny. my boys were bottle raised by mum and i. they're the most trainable and fabulous horses ever. its not being bottle fed that makes them harder to train/teach. its because people often don't know how to treat them, and they become pushy and bossy basically. they just get too big for their boots.
Its a good trainer, dedicated trainer that loves his horse and is dedicated to him... you teach a horse they can always trust you and you can trust them. Theyve definitely spent every day since they met together... some ppl are gifted trainers. Look up Mia "When horses choose" here on YT, shes PHENOMENAL.
@@patriciacampbell32 It looks exaggerated to you because you're seeing it from a close angle, but the audience doesn't have that luxury. Those movements need to be exaggerated so the audience can see and understand the humor of the routine from far away.
Beautiful horse, he looks like he's really having fun. They can be really silly and playful. He is wonderfully trained, just look at the courtesy at the end of each act!
Exactly, playful. I used to play hide and seek or maybe I should call it I hide and when the horses came jump right out from the hiding place. It was my two horses, an arabian mare and a Gotlandsruss (origin pony from Gotland, Sweden) and two old retired trotting horses. They loved it and for each time I had to move and hide at another place. They were thrilled and came back quicker for every time (this was a really huge pasture). It was great fun.
For a horse to lay down on its side like that alone is the ultimate form of trust for them. O_O Like wow. People have no idea that that is the most vulnerable position for a horse. Bravo to both the horse and trainer. ^_^
@@taintedcorvid2509 You have obviously never tried to get a 1500 lb animal to do something it didn't want to do. Yes you can beat animals into submission to do things they don't want to do but anyone who knows animals can see that this horse is not afraid of the whip, his handler, the announcer, the audience or anything else around there. The horse is doing it because it's been trained and wants to please and/or just likes being in the spot light
@@taintedcorvid2509 Its so hard to get a horse to listen in a riding lesson when using abusive methods, because trust, communication and patience is missing. That show Timmy did with Pokerjoe was PURE trust and communication. Its impossible to abuse a horse to do that. Plus, in his eyes and overall face like lips and ears you can see he's pretty relaxed. A tense, scared horse has a different body language.
I can't believe how the horse is calm and clever. They trust in each other and the horse looks like big sister who plays with a baby "ok,ok you wanna do this? I know. It's ok"
I had seen this many years ago..n I still laughed. .the teamwork n trust between those two is so adorable n so much love for each other .this was adorable to watch again...Thank you for sharing this. .loved it.!!!😆😅😀
This is how every relationship/partnership with your horse should be like, the horse honestly looked amused. The horse reminded me of the clips of dogs not wanting to leave the dog park and playing dead or refusing to move while their owner tries to coax them into getting up...
Rox c a lot of horse step down backwards off of trailers.... also all horses can walk backwards they are just weird sometimes and they say “no I don’t wanna back up” it is an amazing act though
Every horse can walk backwards.. Though going backwards switches their back to backwards so you must always take a set forwards afterwards. Much like spinning a horse, if they're worked up if you spin them fast both directions it sets their brain back to neutral
How and why is he using that stick.... tapping? It seems unnecessary. Do you work with horses? How does one tell if a horse is relaxed and enjoying something?
@@kira_mtosh Thank you, I am trying to learn horse language without having a horse. I have ridden on and off over my life, not too much, but only recently awakened to horse language. I love watching the videos of Klaus Hempfling.
Jesus loves you so much and I need to tell you that He offers you His Righteousness as a gift He will wash you completely Clean from ALL your sins and wants you to Come to him it says, “For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord."

This is a trusting loving relationship between a horse and trainer and all the comments above show how biased and blind people are when it come to training and working with these magnificent animals!! I agree with you Marsha this man knows what he’s doing and has taken excellent care of this horse! Look at how beautiful that Paint’s coat is. The mane and tail glisten and the hooves are kept clean. Not to mention look how healthy that paint is!! No abuse case would be that healthy and beautiful. Plus the horse would of pinned his ears flat to the skull if he didn’t trust his trainer and look at the lip! He’s so relaxed it reminds me of my horse. Nice laid back attitude makes for a great and easy to work with horse. As for the bit in the mouth, some horses require it to follow instructions. Especially if they have a more stubborn attitude. The bit is not hurting them stop calling it abuse when you know absolutely nothing about horses without riding one! That whipping was fake he never once let it actually touch the animal otherwise this act might never have happened. You think those people would have watched and cheered for abuse? If that’s the case you better get down to a real horse show and end it all now. Oh my gosh he waved a whip for an act! Dear god that horse is doomed!! Seriously how do you expect us to brush out the tail? Horses need to be worked with regular and that means every part of the body too. Is it abuse if the vet does it? NO IT’S NOT!! So don’t call any of this abuse when everything happening here was completely natural for this horse and a regular routine for any horse trainer/owner. If this was abuse that gorgeous paint would of been taken away before appearing in an arena and the man locked up. Seriously is everyone on the internet just so ignorant to basic care. I’m so sick of seeing people act like ranchers, cowboys, dressage riders and trainers are the most abusive people on the planet just because we love our animals and want to make a living doing stuff with them! And don’t get me started on the fact that things like this have started long before abuse was even considered a real crime. We’ve been riding horses for hundreds of years! Grow up and stop pretending animals are being mistreated when you clearly don’t understand the situation. If that paint really was being hurt you could tell because scarring does exist. I have a horse who had a nasty scar from where a bunch of horseflies got him. It’s in the shape of a heart and the fur grew back white. It would no doubt be the same with this paint. I would know since I grew up raising them with my great granddad. He had a whole fridge full Incase a horse needed medicated for anything or needed a wound treated. Plus, you could pet his stud horse!! Not a lot of folks can pet one of those without getting bit. Why you may ask? Because they are animals who breed and get extremely territorial! A horse is not so gentle until a human works with it. If you don’t believe me find a stud horse and attempt to pet it, but be warned they are nutritious for bitting and you will get the same warning from any horse breeder/owner. Especially during mating season. If you really don’t believe me step into the pen. Though that might end in a hospital trip, so you might not do that either if you value your life over proving a point. If you pet a horse called a Gelding that doesn’t count. A gelding is not a Stud. Basically same situation a steer is not a bull. If you don’t know the difference then why the hell did you comment abuse in the first place?! Consider the facts before jumping the gun. Thank you!
RainbowRose 769 Aw,maybe with a few days to bond with them is what they need?Slowly introduce the things on the stage when your bonding with them and maybe keep them around so they get use to it.
Mikalah Lee well he’s getting better. He has these phases. He will be perfectly fine with everything for a few days, boss him around push him, show him strange things, and won’t spook. Then other days a person will send him over the edge and that’s it, everything is scary. It’s strange! He’s learning slowly. But yes I will use that, thank you for your help.
RainbowRose 769 Aw,Horses are magnificent creatures and i feel as if the strange ones are the best,you must earn their trust,after that everything is settled and you got yourself a buddy 😂No problem .❤️
Mikalah Lee I think I already have earned his trust. But I don’t think he has trust with everyone else! Or hasn’t earned trust from the orange cones lining the place! 😂😂 but maybe your right strange horses are the best horses! 😹🐴 I just have to work on him a bit harder to get used to all of this
That poor horse has to be thinking what is wrong with this guy. But really it's awesome to see the relationship that they have takes alot of work for a horse to trust like that. Such majestic animals!
What beautul markings: matching 'knee' socks, hip splash and shoulder stripe -- very unusual. Their relationship is sweet and shows a real knowledge of each other.
I rode and owned horses for 20 years. That "whip" is called a flek whip. It is commonly used in dressage and horse training. It is extremely light and flexible. The trainer is tapping him with hands and flek in specific pressure points that are invisible cues and aids that are triggers to perform. All the tricks and poses are all natural things a horse does in their day to day life and in no way imposes on them. Their all magnified behaviors and nothing more. Natural rein and saddle free horsemen use these same techniques. At no time, if you watch the ears and posture of the horse was it stressed or harmed. Everything about this relationship between horse and human is a partnership. As for the pulling on the reins and bridle is was in no way shape or form hard enough to cause harm. Horses are capable of much more than just riding and being pasture ornaments. They are a working class animal and enjoy being challenged physically and mentally.
Laura Herlehy that was a very educational speil you put out there and me being a little afraid of horses, you and the clip made me love horses a little bit more and I thank you for that.......
This is one of the if not the most beautiful entertainment with the horse I've ever seen I love it to see the horse always better the human in every joke this is fantastic, SUPERB 🐴💯✌️❤️❤️
I personally know this man, and if any of you think he hurts the horse to get it to do these things you are not thinking right. I have been to their farm and the horses are greatly taken care of.
Blue Pineapple Productions First off, that's a giant puppy. And nothing you say can change my mind. Secondly, any person with a brain can tell the difference between an abused animal and one that is respected and loved. This horse? He's clearly having fun. He trusts his handler and knows his handler wouldn't hurt him. There is a bond and love. People on the internet cannot watch a funny or cute video without screaming abuse. Be it for a bird, dog, cat, horse, baby, etc. Your comments won't change their views because they "know" abuse when they see it. I have no doubt in my mind those who cry wolf are the actual abusers.
To all the people with negative comments about the "poor horse not having fun". It's just my opinion, but I'd be willing to bet vital parts of my anatomy that the horse is not only enjoying the interaction with the rider but is also very live and very well taken care of.
I have never, and would never beat my horse. You can engage a horse in some strange behavior if you just have fun with them, and anyone who beats them to force it, should NOT own a horse, or even be allowed near them. My point being that horses can be complete goofballs if you goof off with them the right way, and give them the right motivation.. Just total hams.
Amazing loving horse and extremely amazing and loving man!!! Which is exactly what it takes to be able to pull this amazing show off without thank the good LORD and injury and or death!!! I had a horse almost just like this and the relationship between us and any other animal for that matter has always been the absolutely most relaxing and heart warming thing I have ever experienced!....thanks so much for sharing!!!! Amazing!!!
That horse would be resisting if it didn't find fun in it all. The horse foot & helmet act says how phenominal intelligent this horse is. One hell of a human to horse relationship! The guy just acts the clown for effect remember. That horse is Beyond Smart! Horse wouldn't do it if he wasn't loved. Not that well.
I've worked with horses. as temperamental animals i have to say...impressive. I've seen people crippled for life, just because of making the mistake of entering to muck the stall without gaining trust first. add the stress of loud music and croud reaction. well. if there wasn't trust out of shear panic from animal that person would be dead.
Absolute Magic ! I have never seen such an exquisite bond between Tommie Turkey and Pokerjoe . What a joy ! My heartfelt admiration for sharing this exuberant dance between the ‘Soul Friends ‘.
Trainer: Stay away from a horses hind end Beginner me: Walks 3 feet around the horse Me now: 1:22 This is genuinely such an unoriginal comment but thank you for 133 thumbs up! 💜💕
I mean you shouldn't walk behind a horse unless there's a bond of trust. My half sister got kicked in the face by our cob because she was playing round the back of him and he couldn't see it was a human toddler.
My father had a large scar on his chin after a horse punched him several meters through the stable with his back hooves. He was lucky to survive it (in the 1950ies).
This horse and rider are so entwined with each other’s behavior and trust each other so very very much. Such a beautiful and trusting relationship Lol lol 😂
Everyone talks how much the horse trusts its rider, and while that's true, I am also amazed by the trust the riders has in his horse. You could not pay me enough to fool around with a horse like that.
I'm more shocked about that, but the horse might've grown up with him since then.
Beautiful horse! Healthy, muscular, and just plain happy. He looks so relaxed. It warms my heart to see the love between them.

This is such a beautiful horse. With its 4 white boot like hoofs and the gorgeous white tail.. and the mane in black.
The horse is a beauty.

I really do love how the whole time the horse doesn’t look distressed. He mostly looked like he was having a good time. Plus the amount of trust this horse has in his rider is amazing. You can’t tell that the horse was enjoying it and just genuinely loves his rider.
That horse probably was raised when he was still a little foal and hand feed him makes him have soo many trust on his rider

This horse is beautiful!! Love the relationship between the two. As calm as this horse is he looks to be enjoying the attention and interaction. Plus the tricks of the horse himself shows how smart horses are. I mean look at that baby bow at the end of the performances. Love it 💜
Oh my goodness. Such fun with this Majestic intelligent animal🙏💕🎇👏🎉🌹🫶🏻🥰🫂
I am entirely convinced that this horse was born a star. His coloration is absolutely stunning, with the mane and tail two different colors, the faint white stripe along the withers (I think that's what it's called, but I could be wrong), and with the marking on the left side of the hindquarters. Also, I always heard about this act because Breyer made a model off of Pokerjoe years back. But actually seeing it makes me appreciate how beautiful Pokerjoe actually is.
The coloring is incredible... really striking and beautiful
Someone forgot to tell the back end of the horse that he was a bay (or the front end that he was a pinto). Either way, the combo is gorgeous.
They eyes of the horse while on its back was so calm. There was no sign of stress...almost relaxation. His ears were constantly on his act partner listening for cues and watching him.
You only saw his whites when he got up, normal...but. he truly loves his human.
How can u be so sure he's enjoying this or not having other choise!!!(you all know what happen when a horse scape or try to go away and be free from their "master"humans!)
Its so sad they are cargo pupets of humans...I want spirit movie be more popular and teach all humans to be more respectfull to this unique and misunderstood creature victim of a egos of human kin(even in history battles they paid the biggest price suffering on battles). They are not created for all of this ☹️

Incredibly well trained clearly. Even his ear carriage matches the action.
He seems to enjoy performing with

i'm almost 60 years old, i remember a time when funny things like this would be on tv all the time.
i miss stuff like this and it's so good to see something so innocently funny!!...thank you!!!
Me too! There was a segment at the end of every news programme: And now for the Good News! Or some such wording. Can we have that back please?
Wouldn't the kids today be shocked. Well, the City kids anyway. I think Country kids have an advantage of living in the real world more. It would be so nice. My favorite show as a kid was Mr. Ed. Nobody could convince me that Horse couldn't talk. I still love that show. ❤This horse is INCREDIBLE, so smart, sweet and GORGEOUS. ✨💞🐴✨
What amazes me is that the horse was absolutely perfect, every move just right with never a hoof placed wrongly. That's a long and complicated act, and the horse is a real ham, but he never gets distracted.

If you treat your horse with love and respect, you can teach it to do anything you want and clearly, this man loves his horse. ❤️
Wow! The relationship between Tommy and Pokerjoe is amazing, you can tell it was built on trust, respect and love. No horse will do the stuff this one does unless they trust their rider/trainer. Pokerjoe is in fantastic condition, what a magnificent animal that is smart and very well trained.
Beautiful horse. And so smart. His calm demeanor and spot on acting was fantastic.
The horse probably wonders why he has the craziest human rider of any horse.
I know! He had amazing timing!
I loved how the cues were either so small, or the horse was so practiced he just knew what to do. I hope to see this live someday.
Tommy Turvey actually got on the the cell phone my mom handed him to say hello to me while I was at work and couldn't go to the show. He autographed my purple purse which my mom took for him to sign for him and poker Joe. Never leaving out his horse. He is a great trainer and actor with poker Joe too!!! If your not a horse person you never will get just how much work ,hours and how deep this bond is. Not every horse will go as far as poker Joe it's the man and horse together that makes the team and the show .So don't hate or judge something you don't understand just watch and enjoy!!!!!! Tommy thank you for great shows you and poker Joe will always be engraved in history like John Lyons and kip. Merry Christmas
@@chainsaw7487 Absolutely
It's a combo of both. Probably audible and visual signal cues, but horses have absolutely incredible memories and can get to the point with a routine that they need very little direction. Often they can remember the same trail, person, course, etc. even decades since they have last seen it.
Pokerjoe: do you like my human i trained him myself
Tommie: here is your hay master

That horse has a sense of humor. You can tell as he's walking out.
When he was belly up and trainer was moving his legs around he looked sooo relaxed, his eyes all blinky-sleepy and his leg joints completely loose. I've done a tiny bit of horse massage (Tellington Touch), but, of course, never worked with such an incredibly relaxed animal. Never made a connection that deep.
A horse could not do something like this that requires such complete relaxation, pliability and focus if it wasn't having fun. You can't MAKE an animal relax. You have to be genuinely and deeply cool with and respectful of one another. So amazing to see this horse/human connection.
Erika Joa AMEN! I agree with u. I'm a horse owner/lover. This horse IS a ham and enjoying his job. Domesticated horses need a job, in my humble opinion. They thrive when given love and a disciplined lifestyle. Those kind-hearted folks who are critical of this act likely are not horse owners. I suspect they believe that the happiest horses are wild, roaming the earth in herds. I beg to differ. Our horses don't live in constant fear of predators, sleeping with the proverbial one eye open. Naw, this duo here are tight, enjoying their job together; I'd bet my strongest leg!
Rebekah Wilkinson Yes! Inter- species connections are among the greatest blessings on this Earth. Those two were we're fortunate to have discovered each other and their compatible temperaments and brilliant enough to create such a playful relationship.
Erika Joa well said! Bravo!
When I saw that horse go belly up towards the trainer, I was like "Now that is complete trust and bond that even married couples don't have."
agreed Bebekah, the horse is loving the attention, and obviously trusts his/her person
I need this horse for my grandkids! I actually saw him do his act and it’s amazing. The hours he spends with the horses must be in the millions! Great trainer and an exceptional horse.
This horse really does have the most gorgeous tail ever.
Fantastic
They purposefully dyed the horse's tail white, it was originally a black tail
Joshna hopnu mai alte poze
It’s dyed white
Horse never dyed their tail and their mane! Their tail is actually brown and white I guess so and the horse is pretending to be dead.
U know you are stressed when you're jealous of how calm that horse was
Lol he's just chilling out 🤣😅🤣
不
Tell me about it lol
I havent been around horses in a good few years i miss them alot! This horse was very calm! It was incredible to watch the love these two share! I can't wait to start riding again!!
This is not calmness. It's a freeze response.
This is one of the prettiest horses I’ve ever seen
Yes! I love his shiny coat! ;)
Mande Peer
I love how it has two different color hairs
Ikr but my horse is prettyer
Never seen a mane and tail of diff colors before, that makes horse very memorable.
The horse looks so cute laying on his back with his legs up like that. So freakin cute. What a cool horse 🐴 ❤️
The horse is very relaxed you can see it in his eyes that he completely trusts his trainer and is waiting for his cues
Tiffany Haines yeah he looks half asleep
The patience and obedience of that horse is unreal. The trainer, too, to put in the time, thought, and effort to train that horse so well. Major kudos to them both!
For all those who think his tail is dyed or bleached, it is *not.* Pokerjoe is an American Paint Horse. He has minimal Tobiano markings. You may notice he has a white patch on the left side of his rump. That white patch extends to most of his dock, which causes most of his skirt to be white. the black stripe in his tail is due to the small portion of his dock that is not masked by white. You can tell he is Tobiano because of his high stockings and few white markings that originate from his topline, like the patch on his rump and the very thin white marking on the right side of his withers.
You can tell it’s the real deal. There’s a big or go of white on the one side that bleeds right into the rail as well. I’ve seen horses with the most beautiful colorings. They remind me of how cats can have unique coats as well.
I was more curious of that little white streak down his side; almost like spilled milk.
Dam dude you know your horses!
Thank you
Was just wondering about that tail.
Stunning Horse!! Love his unique markings + and that tail, plus his white socks w/black bands...
And he is sooo calm thru-out...He seemed like a well-trained dog -- which is TOTALLY different in nature to a horse! Someone said for this level of trust, this man must have bottle-fed him from day one...
Truly Amazing! 💞🏇🏿🐴🏇🏿💞
I can't prove it, but I get the impression that the horse understood this was comedy and was having fun too.
OR....he’s thinking what about this is funny?...I just want to eat an apple. Do the gig and go home. Lol.
100000%😁
Horses have a wonderful sense of humour if you really like and understand them. My two rescue boys often take my wrist between their teeth and look at me with a mischievous expression as if to say: "I you know I could bite if I wanted to!" And we play catch, Lucky my lame boy pushes me with his head or nips his mate Ollie when hand-shy Ollie is fussing too much before having his rug on... they are a hoot!
Animals are smart
Believe it or not scientists have proven that many species of domestic animals do actually enjoy doing acts like this with their owners.
He probably bottle fed that guy from day one. That animal is completely relaxed and liking the attention . There is no way a horse would do that if it didn't want to.
Love this!!!!!
If he'd bottle fed that horse from day 1 that horse would be psychology screwed. Horses human raised often do not behave or train nearly as easily as horses raised by horses.
EidjuujiiiiDara Watkins idijdididdidoddodpd
@@haleylahaie3740 well, that's funny. my boys were bottle raised by mum and i. they're the most trainable and fabulous horses ever. its not being bottle fed that makes them harder to train/teach. its because people often don't know how to treat them, and they become pushy and bossy basically. they just get too big for their boots.
Its a good trainer, dedicated trainer that loves his horse and is dedicated to him... you teach a horse they can always trust you and you can trust them. Theyve definitely spent every day since they met together... some ppl are gifted trainers. Look up Mia "When horses choose" here on YT, shes PHENOMENAL.

Who trained the horse? The man? And it’s a partner act
@@patriciacampbell32 It looks exaggerated to you because you're seeing it from a close angle, but the audience doesn't have that luxury. Those movements need to be exaggerated so the audience can see and understand the humor of the routine from far away.
Just amazing horse and rider. So well rehearsed, and what a great bond they share. A unique show.
Beautiful horse, he looks like he's really having fun. They can be really silly and playful. He is wonderfully trained, just look at the courtesy at the end of each act!
Howard, I saw the same thing. They were both having fun!
Exactly, playful. I used to play hide and seek or maybe I should call it I hide and when the horses came jump right out from the hiding place. It was my two horses, an arabian mare and a Gotlandsruss (origin pony from Gotland, Sweden) and two old retired trotting horses. They loved it and for each time I had to move and hide at another place. They were thrilled and came back quicker for every time (this was a really huge pasture). It was great fun.
Oh my gosh, the MOST beautiful.
I have always told people who are are afraid of horses to view them as big dogs. They love to play.
It always amazes me just how smart horses really are. And so much trust in his rider, he looks so calm and comfortable!
For a horse to lay down on its side like that alone is the ultimate form of trust for them. O_O Like wow. People have no idea that that is the most vulnerable position for a horse. Bravo to both the horse and trainer. ^_^
I know right, reading comments on UA-cam I would be really surprised if anyone knows anything ... except of course for people like you
Why is it unbearable for the horse
Or maybe the horse is abused to do that..... .-.
@@taintedcorvid2509 You have obviously never tried to get a 1500 lb animal to do something it didn't want to do. Yes you can beat animals into submission to do things they don't want to do but anyone who knows animals can see that this horse is not afraid of the whip, his handler, the announcer, the audience or anything else around there. The horse is doing it because it's been trained and wants to please and/or just likes being in the spot light
@@taintedcorvid2509 Its so hard to get a horse to listen in a riding lesson when using abusive methods, because trust, communication and patience is missing. That show Timmy did with Pokerjoe was PURE trust and communication. Its impossible to abuse a horse to do that. Plus, in his eyes and overall face like lips and ears you can see he's pretty relaxed. A tense, scared horse has a different body language.
That was 100% worth watching. The connection between the two was a joy to behold.
I can't believe how the horse is calm and clever.
They trust in each other
and the horse looks like big sister who plays with a baby "ok,ok you wanna do this? I know. It's ok"
Haha I have so much respect for that horse staying so calm and he looked so relaxed when he was upside down

This is how every relationship/partnership with your horse should be like, the horse honestly looked amused. The horse reminded me of the clips of dogs not wanting to leave the dog park and playing dead or refusing to move while their owner tries to coax them into getting up...
9:05, This guy did an incredible job training this horse. Such an amazing act.
Rox c a lot of horse step down backwards off of trailers.... also all horses can walk backwards they are just weird sometimes and they say “no I don’t wanna back up” it is an amazing act though
@@stellaotto5052 Agreed, horses don't prefer to walk backward
No the horse trained the guy 😹
Yes! And then did a bow right away! 😱
Every horse can walk backwards.. Though going backwards switches their back to backwards so you must always take a set forwards afterwards. Much like spinning a horse, if they're worked up if you spin them fast both directions it sets their brain back to neutral
What a sweet relationship they have, and you can tell that the horse gets the joke, so smart!
8:07 I love this part. When the crowd claps for the horse, he looks so happy. He clearly loves doing this
How and why is he using that stick.... tapping? It seems unnecessary. Do you work with horses? How does one tell if a horse is relaxed and enjoying something?

What a beautiful horse! The relationship between this horse and man is a marvel.
I can have a relationship , without a whip and whipping the horse and pull in his mouth with a hard hand
xxx X g g g g.
Uj.
Well, I won't call this a relationship. It's a cruel for this horse.
This isn't a good relationship
This is a trusting loving relationship between a horse and trainer and all the comments above show how biased and blind people are when it come to training and working with these magnificent animals!! I agree with you Marsha this man knows what he’s doing and has taken excellent care of this horse! Look at how beautiful that Paint’s coat is. The mane and tail glisten and the hooves are kept clean. Not to mention look how healthy that paint is!! No abuse case would be that healthy and beautiful. Plus the horse would of pinned his ears flat to the skull if he didn’t trust his trainer and look at the lip! He’s so relaxed it reminds me of my horse. Nice laid back attitude makes for a great and easy to work with horse.
As for the bit in the mouth, some horses require it to follow instructions. Especially if they have a more stubborn attitude. The bit is not hurting them stop calling it abuse when you know absolutely nothing about horses without riding one!
That whipping was fake he never once let it actually touch the animal otherwise this act might never have happened. You think those people would have watched and cheered for abuse? If that’s the case you better get down to a real horse show and end it all now. Oh my gosh he waved a whip for an act! Dear god that horse is doomed!!
Seriously how do you expect us to brush out the tail? Horses need to be worked with regular and that means every part of the body too. Is it abuse if the vet does it? NO IT’S NOT!! So don’t call any of this abuse when everything happening here was completely natural for this horse and a regular routine for any horse trainer/owner. If this was abuse that gorgeous paint would of been taken away before appearing in an arena and the man locked up.
Seriously is everyone on the internet just so ignorant to basic care. I’m so sick of seeing people act like ranchers, cowboys, dressage riders and trainers are the most abusive people on the planet just because we love our animals and want to make a living doing stuff with them! And don’t get me started on the fact that things like this have started long before abuse was even considered a real crime. We’ve been riding horses for hundreds of years! Grow up and stop pretending animals are being mistreated when you clearly don’t understand the situation. If that paint really was being hurt you could tell because scarring does exist. I have a horse who had a nasty scar from where a bunch of horseflies got him. It’s in the shape of a heart and the fur grew back white. It would no doubt be the same with this paint. I would know since I grew up raising them with my great granddad. He had a whole fridge full Incase a horse needed medicated for anything or needed a wound treated. Plus, you could pet his stud horse!! Not a lot of folks can pet one of those without getting bit. Why you may ask? Because they are animals who breed and get extremely territorial! A horse is not so gentle until a human works with it. If you don’t believe me find a stud horse and attempt to pet it, but be warned they are nutritious for bitting and you will get the same warning from any horse breeder/owner. Especially during mating season. If you really don’t believe me step into the pen. Though that might end in a hospital trip, so you might not do that either if you value your life over proving a point.
If you pet a horse called a Gelding that doesn’t count. A gelding is not a Stud. Basically same situation a steer is not a bull. If you don’t know the difference then why the hell did you comment abuse in the first place?! Consider the facts before jumping the gun. Thank you!
My life has been enriched by this.
See, you really can do wonders in the world. Thank you for this inspiring moment
What fun those two have had training and performing! Just beautiful 😍 The actual training that went in to this routine is impressive.

They have a really strong bond, wow I'm jealous
Ikr? I want a comedic horse now!! I just have a show horse who is scared of everything...
RainbowRose 769 Aw,maybe with a few days to bond with them is what they need?Slowly introduce the things on the stage when your bonding with them and maybe keep them around so they get use to it.
Mikalah Lee well he’s getting better. He has these phases. He will be perfectly fine with everything for a few days, boss him around push him, show him strange things, and won’t spook. Then other days a person will send him over the edge and that’s it, everything is scary. It’s strange! He’s learning slowly. But yes I will use that, thank you for your help.
RainbowRose 769 Aw,Horses are magnificent creatures and i feel as if the strange ones are the best,you must earn their trust,after that everything is settled and you got yourself a buddy 😂No problem .❤️
Mikalah Lee I think I already have earned his trust. But I don’t think he has trust with everyone else! Or hasn’t earned trust from the orange cones lining the place! 😂😂 but maybe your right strange horses are the best horses! 😹🐴 I just have to work on him a bit harder to get used to all of this
That poor horse has to be thinking what is wrong with this guy. But really it's awesome to see the relationship that they have takes alot of work for a horse to trust like that. Such majestic animals!
What beautul markings: matching 'knee' socks, hip splash and shoulder stripe -- very unusual. Their relationship is sweet and shows a real knowledge of each other.
The shoulder stripe is most likely a scar from ill-fitting tack at some point in the past
I rode and owned horses for 20 years. That "whip" is called a flek whip.
It is commonly used in dressage and horse training. It is extremely light and flexible. The trainer is tapping him with hands and flek in specific pressure points that are invisible cues and aids that are triggers to perform.
All the tricks and poses are all natural things a horse does in their day to day life and in no way imposes on them. Their all magnified behaviors and nothing more. Natural rein and saddle free horsemen use these same techniques.
At no time, if you watch the ears and posture of the horse was it stressed or harmed. Everything about this relationship between horse and human is a partnership.
As for the pulling on the reins and bridle is was in no way shape or form hard enough to cause harm.
Horses are capable of much more than just riding and being pasture ornaments. They are a working class animal and enjoy being challenged physically and mentally.

That's right, because you can lead a horse to water, but . . .
you can't make him drink..........
and a tons of patience
The act is built around what the horse will do. But it a very trusting and relaxed horse for sure.
Very special bond between man and horse. Just brilliant.
I personally know this man, and if any of you think he hurts the horse to get it to do these things you are not thinking right. I have been to their farm and the horses are greatly taken care of.
Blue Pineapple Productions wow
@@mehchocolate1257 That is not a horse 😂🤣😂!!! Couldn't resist dude...!
Blue Pineapple Productions
First off, that's a giant puppy. And nothing you say can change my mind.
Secondly, any person with a brain can tell the difference between an abused animal and one that is respected and loved. This horse? He's clearly having fun. He trusts his handler and knows his handler wouldn't hurt him. There is a bond and love. People on the internet cannot watch a funny or cute video without screaming abuse. Be it for a bird, dog, cat, horse, baby, etc.
Your comments won't change their views because they "know" abuse when they see it.
I have no doubt in my mind those who cry wolf are the actual abusers.
Lies
Ellie D Dressage you think she’s lying about knowing him? 🤣
I needed this soooo much today. Lots of stress and overwhelm, but this act just had me laughing so hard!! Loved every moment of it!!
To all the people with negative comments about the "poor horse not having fun". It's just my opinion, but I'd be willing to bet vital parts of my anatomy that the horse is not only enjoying the interaction with the rider but is also very live and very well taken care of.
Darren Headrick horses love the interaction it you don't spend time with the horses they become very bored great job
That awful 'bit' is clearly not needed though!
Darren Headrick The horse probably got its ass beat until it got all those tricks ride. Do you know what happens in a circus? It’s the same concept.
Dick Aalj that is the 💯% truth I have worked with horses for 6 years and everyone I know will beat there horses till they do it right
I have never, and would never beat my horse. You can engage a horse in some strange behavior if you just have fun with them, and anyone who beats them to force it, should NOT own a horse, or even be allowed near them. My point being that horses can be complete goofballs if you goof off with them the right way, and give them the right motivation.. Just total hams.
Haha that horse loved that act I could tell ^^. Her ears never went flat and her eyes were nice and sleepy, really relaxed and calm. How sweet lol.
•Λουκία• It’s a male not female horse.
For those of you that keep calling this horse a she, it’s not. It’s a male horse.
@@cyndyrogers5826 beruhige dich bitte, wir haben verstanden, was du zuerst gesagt hast.
Amazing loving horse and extremely amazing and loving man!!! Which is exactly what it takes to be able to pull this amazing show off without thank the good LORD and injury and or death!!! I had a horse almost just like this and the relationship between us and any other animal for that matter has always been the absolutely most relaxing and heart warming thing I have ever experienced!....thanks so much for sharing!!!! Amazing!!!
The love and trust these two have for one another is pure friendship, just like Roy Rogers and Trigger .❤️
Beautiful markings on that horse.
Lucky the horse didn’t have nature calling while going underneath it so many times.
Yes! And a gorgeous shiny coat, too! ;)
The horse is SHE !
Hjalmar Jönsson that’s definitely a boy
@@hjalmarjonsson4973: Look carefully: when the horse is on his back, his penis sheath is often visible!
He is a gelding
That’s the cutest horse ever and her tail is amazing 😍
His. You can clearly see his sheath. (Penis cover)
@@amandazanchi6396 okey dokey
3:19 the horse looks like its asleep like its enjoying this😂
Indeed, cannot get any more laid back than that!
Excellent trained really enjoyable, thanks for sharing 👌
That is the most well trained horse I’ve ever seen, and the TRUST oh this was amazing
It was really amazing. How are you doing @Lily Jade?
That horse would be resisting if it didn't find fun in it all. The horse foot & helmet act says how phenominal intelligent this horse is. One hell of a human to horse relationship! The guy just acts the clown for effect remember. That horse is Beyond Smart! Horse wouldn't do it if he wasn't loved. Not that well.
@@larrywalsh9939 is the horse a mare or stallion
.
Unicorn Jensen neither, you need the third choice. (Gelding.)
obvs i mean animals are much smarter that a human. just because they cant talk doesn't mean they are any dumber than us x
The man was pushing down on the horses bone so the horses foot can move away
I've worked with horses. as temperamental animals i have to say...impressive. I've seen people crippled for life, just because of making the mistake of entering to muck the stall without gaining trust first. add the stress of loud music and croud reaction. well. if there wasn't trust out of shear panic from animal that person would be dead.
And that's a big reason geldings are used for stuff like this.
I can feel where you are coming from. It's actually painful to think about what you go through with horses. This is a revelation
My friend owns a couple of horses, and I think she got kicked in the ankle and her ankle broke.
Absolute Magic !
I have never seen such an exquisite bond between Tommie Turkey and Pokerjoe .
What a joy !
My heartfelt admiration for sharing this exuberant dance between the ‘Soul Friends ‘.
Trainer: Stay away from a horses hind end
Beginner me: Walks 3 feet around the horse
Me now: 1:22
This is genuinely such an unoriginal comment but thank you for 133 thumbs up! 💜💕
LOL
honestly tho😂
I mean you shouldn't walk behind a horse unless there's a bond of trust. My half sister got kicked in the face by our cob because she was playing round the back of him and he couldn't see it was a human toddler.
8:50 is also me now😂😂
My father had a large scar on his chin after a horse punched him several meters through the stable with his back hooves.
He was lucky to survive it (in the 1950ies).
That's not a horse, that's a giant puppy.
dano r that is not true
What if puppies are tiny horses?
it is not
Clifford the Big Brown Dog xd
dano r that’s no giant puppy you fool, that’s a giant guinea pig😋
Pokerjoe is a very intelligent and well trained horse. The human was okay, too
This horse and rider are so entwined with each other’s behavior and trust each other so very very much. Such a beautiful and trusting relationship
Lol lol 😂
I’m so jealous of this! Horses make me rethink life🥰❤️
if u like horse please visit my channel ... support me please
Whoah, Bravo ! What an amazing complicity/ partnership between this man and his horse. A very beautiful horse, by the way.
It's really amazing 😊. How are you doing @Catherine Armant?
It is always funny to see what a horse can get his pet human to do.
At 8:03 Horse puts his human back in his pokebox.
Genuine, beautiful horse and the most trusting heartwarming relationship between the two of them! Bravo!!!
