When I was socializing my Gordon Setter pup, I took her to several local horse shows. I kept her strictly on lead and well away from the show rings, so there were no issues. It was great experience for her, but you have to take care *not* to interfere with the exhibitors.
When I was taking lessons as a kid my dad always got permission from the stable owner to bring our puppy by and walk around the property while I had my lesson. As you say, it’s great experience and does a lot to socialize the dog and help them be better behaved later on. He was just careful where he took the puppy and only got so close to the horses, especially the first couple visits. (Once the puppy got the idea that horses were not for chasing or barking at, then they came closer, but only to where was okay - so not to the arena where people were having lessons, mostly around the school horses being groomed who were used to dogs. Again, he spoke to the stable owner first every time.)
Must be super embarrassing for dog owner and luckily it's a lesson and not a tragedy for them. Serious props to the Rider and that Horse's calmness. If I was a judge I would've viewed that horse and rider favorably for their level-headed calmness and professionalism with my score in their rerun.
It’s fine to bring you dog to shows just keep them on a leash!! I love bringing my dog to my horse shows but I always have him on a leash just because I know his breed and his instincts
It is very common for dogs to be at horse shows. But sometimes dogs can slip off leashes, or out a door before you can get them. It's much more common to see a horse running loose.
ItsallGood still that was not ok that the dog ended up getting in the arena and ruining the guys chance at winning. If you bring a dog. Make sure it doesn’t get off the leash. If you can’t make sure of that. Don’t bring a dog.
@@madiinash I can't see how that would ruin his chance of winning, any judge worth his salt, will either let him begin again or not count off for anything that happen because of the dog. In fact the horse's non-reaction might give a few more points.

I love dogs as the next person but there should be an all out banned (exception of QUALIFIED and LICENSE service dogs) of all spectator and exhibitor dogs at horse competition events. It’s really getting out of hand, unnecessarily and downright dangerous. I remember seeing a dog run in the middle of the cross country cross at eventing competition about to chase a horse after it dumped its rider but luckily the person handling the horse managed to keep control while they grabbed the dog. It’s for everyone’s safety and fairness in competitions. A lot of people have no common sense anymore.

Why should other people be the only ones who have to pay for his stupidity?
Good call for the rider to stop you’re supposed to bring you dog on a leash and with a muzzle unless your dog is a service dog you shouldn’t bring a dog to a horse show anyway
I’m sorry, but a horse competition is no place for a dog unless it’s a service dog. Even if the dog is leashed there’s always the chance of it barking and lunging at the horses... unless the dog is a trained service dog, it can stay at home for a competition. I adore dogs, but this is absolutely ridiculous.
Dogs are a very common sight at almost all types of horse shows/ competitions. Really most horses are not that bothered by dogs. Crowds are much louder. As you can see this horse could care less
Most "service dogs" are nothing of the sort and have fake credentials as such so they can be taken in stores, on planes, out in public areas that otherwise ban generic household pets. I've seen a few dogs that appeared to be legit with autistic kids and adults with obvious emotional disorders, but the rest of them are as phony as a $3 bill.
DoubleDogDare54 I’m aware that many people fake having a service dog just so they can bring their pet with them. However, it becomes apparent quite quickly if a dog isn’t a real service dog.
ItsallGood I’m aware, I just don’t think they should be. Simply for safety, bringing dogs is opening the door for things like this to happen. And there is really no need to bring your dog with you to a horse show. 🤷🏼♀️ Just the way I feel about it. I love dogs, but they belong at home unless there is a serious reason.
@@larkluvshorses7631 I agree with your statements about service dogs. Few are really true service dogs. As far as dogs at horse shows, I've been showing for 40 yrs and have seen plenty of dogs at shows and not once has it been a problem. Nothing is ever perfect, accidents can always happen. We can continue to stop doing everything because something happened one time.
Fresh Peppers border collies have natural herding instincts and this one for sure looks like a working line dog. You can see it several times get low and come around the horse to try and herd it. Although I agree it was very excited and was only chasing at first, it was definitely herding after that lmao
I have. It should not have 2 inches of air between the skirt and the horse's back. It's also very long for the horse's back, but I don't know if that's the style right now. I know for a fact tipped downward in front is not.
I love dogs but will not put up with this kind of behavior of these hurting dogs I used to work with someone's horses whose dog always chased the horse and he thought it was funny that they were playing one day his wife and him were out on a trail ride a dog jumped out of a creek her horse spawn fell on the street she hit her head I lost half of a brain another two people I know killed on horses fell due to dogs chasing them people should learn how to keep a dog on a leash or keep it away
My old man had an answer to nuisance dogs - a pellet gun. He always aimed for the hindquarters. Won't kill the dog but will do some damage and will stop a nuisance dog cold. Will probably require a trip to the vet afterwards to dig out the slug or treat the bruising, that's your problem, keeping your mutt under proper control would have prevented that from happening in the first place.
When I was 12 years old my dad got me a yearling filly named Pepper, not realizing that she needed a more experienced trainer. She was a bit nervous around our dog so we kept the dog in the house when I was working with the horse. About a week after we got her I was lunging her in the pasture when one of my brothers accidentally loosed the dog, who ran up barking. Pepper panicked, jerked the line from my hands, took off terrified of the dog and the dragging line, ran into the fence, flipped onto her head, and had to be put down after not regaining consciousness. I was so devastated and 58 years later I still blame myself for not holding the line tighter.
"The owner had the dog on a leash and had just put it in a stall while she went to dinner, but as she slid the door shut, the 10-month-old Border Collie slid out. He came back when called, but then a loose horse in the stall row distracted him and he ran off. They were looking for him, but he had run down the concourse, up the ramp into the stands and was on the complete opposite end of the coliseum." Horse of the West TV statement
These dogs are capable of jumping a fence there even sometimes in competitions to do that so the dog should have been on a leash and tied in the stable or wherever the heck she put it how dumb is that
I had a horse and I know what a stall is but these dogs can get pretty high up in the air and practically climb out of his stall I know it's not a fence because offense a horse could get over but thank you so much for trying to straighten out something that you thought I didn't understand
I hate when people go “oh my dog doesn’t need a leash”, OK well neither does my female, but I still put one on her because it’s the rules and I like being able to take my dog places so I abide by those rules. Just because you think you don’t need a leash with your dog doesn’t mean a situation won’t occur where you need one and then you will not have one like this
They all got lucky. That dog should have had a leash on though. I still remember riding my OTTB and getting charged at by a 150+ pound Newfoundland. Thankfully the owner had it stacked down and on a leash and my horse handled it well. Could have gone south if the owner didn’t have that leash on that dog.
I'm sorry they will nip a sheep's feet if the Sheep doesn't answer or they will nip the sheeps behind. But when they nipple shape in any place usually there's lots of fleece in the way so it doesn't break the skin or hurt the Sheep. But if that dog had nipped near the ankle of that horse it would have been dead with a Blow To The Head. Thank God the horse didn't break its leg because then that dog would have killed that horse and Riders have been severely injured when they're horse falls. My cousin was at a horse show showing her horse had a helmet on and her horse slipped on the concrete Runway or something and fell and when Patsy fell off the horse landed on her head crushed her helmet she survived for a few years but her brain was injured she couldn't walk it was horrible. That guy only had a cowboy hat on
Janine Kennedy owners know he isn’t obedient as he is only a puppy (not yet 1) he is always on a leash google the interview after for all the details on the situation
Not necessarily. reining saddles do that honestly. it is more likely the cinch is two tight. Or the reason why the saddle is popping up is because he’s standing up in a stir up so he’s putting all the weight towards the front of his saddle. The other reason why I would say it more likely it does fit since he does not have A breast collar on the saddle. Which means The saddle does not slide back when he does more intense moves. Here is a good video on saddle fitting reining horses ua-cam.com/video/bk8VBBkwAjQ/v-deo.html
Number 1 rule of horse shows, keep dogs in a stall and/or on a leash! I’m surprised she didn’t get her butt ripped in two for that. Reiner was so focused on his circles, didn’t give a damn about that dog haha that’s how you do it
All is fine as long as they are used correctly. He wasn’t whipping his horse or pulling his mouth off. But I do agree a lot of equipment. But nothing is worse than the soaring they do to TW for saddle seat riding..
It’s actually quite good for horses. Everyone should be practicing a bit of long and low in any discipline. It builds top line and stretches a horses back
@@saltyfroots9 No it's not, not to that extreme, they can barely see. Have you ever seen a horse ever on it's own carry it's head that way? They would be toast in the wild as predators would easily pick them off.
Jane Tannerevans these aren’t wild horses though are they. They don’t have to be worried about predators and what makes you think they go around like this all the time? Firstly western pleasure horses are bred to have a lower headset, secondly they are only asked to be in this position when being ridden, which is a fraction of their lives compared to all the time they spend without a rider on their backs.
Going long and low is very good, I MUCH prefer to seem them going like this over having their head tucked into a frame which is very unnatural. And for being able to see - when you let the horse see it's footing for instance you let them stretch DOWN so they know where to place their feet. It's also called trusting their rider on direction.
the dog is definitely a herding dog. you could see its confusion when people were whistling ( depends on what you teach but from what im accustomed to, herding dogs are trained by different whistles)and how he was constantly looking at the rider for instruction. i don't understand why the dog was not on leash in such a public area especially with other animals around. pure negligence on the owners behalf. Great horse and right decision by the lad to stop his run for the safety of him, his horse and the dog.
Barbara Dyson it’s for the discipline. There are very, VERY few disciplines in which a horse actually has a natural headset. Plus long and low is sooo good for horses. Everyone should be practicing long and low in their rides no matter what discipline they do. It helps build a topline and stretches a horses back. So it’s all good!
@@saltyfroots9 how does it stretch a horses back when someone is sitting on a heavy saddle on a horse, so when a horse canters or gallops it's better that his head is low, does that apply when he jumps
Barbara Dyson it doesn’t matter if someone is on their back, that doesn’t affect the horses ability to stretch or use their muscles at all. During ridden work long and low is very good, even if it’s not the entire session. I do at least 15 minutes of long and low per ride with my horse and I’m an English rider. Jumping is a completely different thing and it’d be physically impossible for a horse to be long and low while actively jumping, and while in between jumps it wouldn’t work because they need a higher head set to see a jump properly.
That is pure border collie herding mode. They are very smart and know comands well, but this one is young and still is learning when not to herd and stay by masters side.
I'm learning horse behavior and am starting up in lessons, so I only know the basics (please don't write me off as an idiot, I'm a fast learner!) Anyway, can someone tell me why the horse's ears are pinned?? He's 100% not happy if they are that far back, and he's swishing his tail a lot and I think there was some hesitation to do as he was asked. I looked at the bit first and saw he was mouthing, but I dunno how to tell if he's just adjusting or actually hurting. The saddle if I remember for western, is where it should be, and I don't think the rider was pulling on the reins much. Could it be the bit? Or the crowd? Or just what he's doing? (Please if you answer, tell me your background with horses and such so I know it's not just some cranky troll that doesn't really know, because I'm wanting to learn. And this isn't meant to insult anyone, I just want to make sure I'm not getting WRONG info)
I'm pretty sure that it was the bit, I've been taught to not ride in bits UNLESS you absolutely need them, this horse right here looks like he was uncomfortable with the bit. Having that said, people nowadays should know better when putting a bit on their horse, if you ride in a bit, make sure the teeth are floated, I bet the horse was getting the sharp points on his teeth causing the discomfort and pain. Do not hate on me, I was taught different and taught to be aware of how the horse is feeling before you ride. Ellen, Good luck with riding!
And I've been around horses for 4-5 years, with all with different ways of riding and such, I'm not a cranky troll, I have a horse, got him a year and a half ago, and I'm still training him.
@@Hannahs_Mustangs thanks, that really helped!! I know rubber bits can still hurt if they aren't used correctly or the rider is pulling super hard, and same with metal of course. I ride with a rubber bit (my trainer's horse, English riding). I never ripped his face off or anything, or even got much of a "oi stop that" from him, but I do tend to pull on accident when I'm posting or doing 2 point. I'm only trotting a little rn, but teacher had me practice positions so I know them well come actually needing them. I also tend to pull a bit harsher when asking him to stop, and I just need more opportunity to fix it by doing, cuz I know how XD I love though that my teacher pushed the power of body language, for the horse especially, and for myself. I don't kick when I want him to move, I squeeze, I lean when I turn, I sit back when I woah. I feel a disconnect from any partnership with him (but it's there), but that's because he isn't MY horse. We work well together though and we treat each other with earned respect. I love him though and really look up to my trainer. Honestly now I low-key wanna ask if we can spend half of my hour off the saddle doing something focused on body language and partnership or something. Does that sound dumb??
@@Hannahs_Mustangs also it's not to accuse, it's a precaution. I'm sure we both know there are some bitchy equestrians out there who are talking about subjects they know little about. I wouldn't consider myself an "equestrian" but I'm earning my way there. Looking at comments and videos on UA-cam, and from what I've seen IRL I can confidently say my trainer is teaching me the right things and humane way. I don't wanna say right because there's multiple ways to teach similar things, but I was going for she wasn't teaching the WRONG things.
Damn but im not really liking what the Quarter Horse is looking like these days. If it weren't for the massive hindquarters I'd think that was mostly Arabian.
@@suzanneyoung8011 was actually referring to the thin neck and incredibly small head with the deep arab dish. I'm familiar with that horse's pedigree. It's got good foundation stock.
OcalaBoxer I don’t see them that low in English competitions and other stuff. His reins are loose but he forces the horse to do that which isn’t right. It’s the same thing if we bend our backs to much and it horse. The horse bends it’s neck then it hurts same thing. Just people don’t realize that horses have feelings too
OcalaBoxer if you think it’s low then why does he almost touch his chest? He definitely shouldn’t be doing that. It’s the same thing as us bending our backs to much. It just causes them pain
OcalaBoxer I’m not saying it hurts the horses back. I’m just saying it’s the same if we bend of backs to much it causes pain. If the bend their necks to much it causes pain
Well handled by all involved, including the horse. I love having dogs at horse shows, they go along like peanut butter and jelly, but KEEP THEM ON A LEASH. This could have ended very poorly for the dog.
Why was there a dog at a horse show? Dogs are not permitted on the grounds at horse shows in Australia, for safety reasons. Doesn’t America have a ruling on dogs also? If no, it’s clearly high time they did!
It's been common for years and years for dogs to be at horse shows in the US, but they should always be on a leash. But sometimes accidents can happen, just like horses can get loose sometimes.
ItsallGood Sorry mate, there’s a huge difference between “accidents can happen” and negligent, irresponsible dog owners. Take dogs out of the equation and there’s one less dangerous possibility to manage!
MissRightTurn That’s sad to read. It’s a dreadful error of judgement on behalf of the horse show committees. It’s high time they put safety at the top of their agenda!
Everytime a person with little to no knowledge talks about a bit being painful, an angel looses it's wings. It getting ridiculous. "Hackamores are not more humane because there is no bit in the horse's mouth. Hackamores can be very harsh, causing severe pain to the horse's sensitive face. ... Beginner riders with a tendency to hold onto the reins for balance may inadvertently pull on the horse's face, causing pain and confusion."
The dogs lucky the horse didn't kick them in the head and kill him. But that dog was doing his hurting Instinct that they're supposed to do with sheep not
Yes the horse was fine with the dog, but he was being completely evasive from the bit, guy is obviously pulling before transitions, horse is hiding behind the vertical most of the time, why are they showing this horse again? That was a mess of a presentation long before the dog.
"it's a heeler" yeah there's also things called leashes 🤦♀️. This was beyond reckless of the dogs owner. If the horse were to be reactive around dogs things could have gone south VERY fast. I'd be fuming.
In CA....if a dog is involved in any way what-so-ever with a horse and / or rider... and there is any type of injury ( physical or mental) to the horse or rider or damage to the property....The trainer or rider or owner holding EQUINE LIABILITY INSURANCE to cover these injuries or damages will not be covered! It VOIDS the policy totally n someone ia going to have to pay a fortune! And good luck getting insurance again even if the insurance pays nothing! Holy crap y'all!
Dogs r wonderful animals period end of story ..if people don't exercise them they will do it themselves . Take him for a hike instead of a horse competition . 🥾🚶♀️🐕
I hope whoever had that dog was banned, your pets are your responsibility and they should have had the dog on leash. I don’t care if you “love your dog.” If you love your dog, you would put it on a leash and not let it jump into the arena.
I used to think reining was incredible. I have come to believe that repeatedly making a horse do those sliding stops and ridiculously extreme spins can't be good for their joints. If these are 'ranch horse' type moves, when exactly do they come into play? Spinning a horse as fast as it can possibly confuses a cow? Does it make cows go into a pen? The sliding stop, does it impress steer or sheep with the horse's agility? I no longer see these as necessary or good things to do with a horse. It is born from people's egos to show off the really unnatural and unnecessary things they can making their horses do.
A lot of things we teach our horses today don't contribute to anything they necessarily would use in everyday life. Just as a purely show reining horse might not ever even see a cow. Their tricks are made up of and are the end result of maneuvers and building blocks used in cutting/penning and actual cow reining. This reining uses full spins, when on a cow or herd you'd only have the use of a 180 spin to change direction. quick stops are used against the fence to keep the cow in. Same with dressage, it started off as neat tactic for battle/war against an enemy and is now seen as this refined english riding event that's full of movements horses can naturally establish but rarely need. If a movement wasn't 'natural' the horse would have no ability or bred affinity for it. In training these horses get exercised in more than just what they are trained for, like any event animal, as the horse would become dull and predictable from too much repetition in their working life.
I'm guessing the dog's owner was absolutely positive their dog did not require a leash. It's always the ones that don't require a leash that cause the problems.
Amen!
Since we have no idea what happened why put the blame on anyone.

Why should other people be the only ones who have to pay for his stupidity?
@@itsallgood4093 Yes, idiots do cause accidents. It all ended well but it could have been disastrous.
@@janinecarson8380 walking out your front door can be disastrous. Maybe we should all stay inside.
Good call for the rider to stop you’re supposed to bring you dog on a leash and with a muzzle unless your dog is a service dog you shouldn’t bring a dog to a horse show anyway
Chesney Brown he was on a leash all day and is only a puppy so he is learning. This was a total accident on all parts
I’m sorry, but a horse competition is no place for a dog unless it’s a service dog. Even if the dog is leashed there’s always the chance of it barking and lunging at the horses... unless the dog is a trained service dog, it can stay at home for a competition. I adore dogs, but this is absolutely ridiculous.
Dogs are a very common sight at almost all types of horse shows/ competitions. Really most horses are not that bothered by dogs. Crowds are much louder. As you can see this horse could care less
Most "service dogs" are nothing of the sort and have fake credentials as such so they can be taken in stores, on planes, out in public areas that otherwise ban generic household pets. I've seen a few dogs that appeared to be legit with autistic kids and adults with obvious emotional disorders, but the rest of them are as phony as a $3 bill.
DoubleDogDare54 I’m aware that many people fake having a service dog just so they can bring their pet with them. However, it becomes apparent quite quickly if a dog isn’t a real service dog.
ItsallGood I’m aware, I just don’t think they should be. Simply for safety, bringing dogs is opening the door for things like this to happen. And there is really no need to bring your dog with you to a horse show. 🤷🏼♀️ Just the way I feel about it. I love dogs, but they belong at home unless there is a serious reason.
@@larkluvshorses7631 I agree with your statements about service dogs. Few are really true service dogs. As far as dogs at horse shows, I've been showing for 40 yrs and have seen plenty of dogs at shows and not once has it been a problem. Nothing is ever perfect, accidents can always happen. We can continue to stop doing everything because something happened one time.
Oh no! Poor dog probably thinks everyone is whistling and clapping because of the herding 😧
It wasn’t herding, he was overly excited and dogs chase anything that is running.
Fresh Peppers border collies have natural herding instincts and this one for sure looks like a working line dog. You can see it several times get low and come around the horse to try and herd it. Although I agree it was very excited and was only chasing at first, it was definitely herding after that lmao
That is what border collies are meant to do
luv the fact that no ones talking about how ill fitted that saddle is
Tayla Atkins have u even seen a western saddle before?
Exactly, as soon as he went into the lope, the back part and pad kept raising up.
Gaping mouth, head way behind the vertical. No one's going to talk about how this is not framing up well and not at all a good reining run?
I have. It should not have 2 inches of air between the skirt and the horse's back. It's also very long for the horse's back, but I don't know if that's the style right now. I know for a fact tipped downward in front is not.
Great horse and amazing rider. I think they handled it amazingly!
I mean everyone’s going oh god the poor dog
Mean while me:that is one good horse .......and one really hot guy
Can we just take a moment to watch the hot horse? 😅
It is great
I love dogs but will not put up with this kind of behavior of these hurting dogs I used to work with someone's horses whose dog always chased the horse and he thought it was funny that they were playing one day his wife and him were out on a trail ride a dog jumped out of a creek her horse spawn fell on the street she hit her head I lost half of a brain another two people I know killed on horses fell due to dogs chasing them people should learn how to keep a dog on a leash or keep it away
My old man had an answer to nuisance dogs - a pellet gun. He always aimed for the hindquarters. Won't kill the dog but will do some damage and will stop a nuisance dog cold. Will probably require a trip to the vet afterwards to dig out the slug or treat the bruising, that's your problem, keeping your mutt under proper control would have prevented that from happening in the first place.
Seem like folks you know need to also learn how to sack a horse properly. Sacking out is my big preachy soap box issue.
When I was 12 years old my dad got me a yearling filly named Pepper, not realizing that she needed a more experienced trainer. She was a bit nervous around our dog so we kept the dog in the house when I was working with the horse. About a week after we got her I was lunging her in the pasture when one of my brothers accidentally loosed the dog, who ran up barking. Pepper panicked, jerked the line from my hands, took off terrified of the dog and the dragging line, ran into the fence, flipped onto her head, and had to be put down after not regaining consciousness. I was so devastated and 58 years later I still blame myself for not holding the line tighter.
Use periods.
Holy shit, that was painful to read.
"The owner had the dog on a leash and had just put it in a stall while she went to dinner, but as she slid the door shut, the 10-month-old Border Collie slid out. He came back when called, but then a loose horse in the stall row distracted him and he ran off. They were looking for him, but he had run down the concourse, up the ramp into the stands and was on the complete opposite end of the coliseum." Horse of the West TV statement
Absolutely an accident that should not cause people to not be able to bring dogs to shows.
These dogs are capable of jumping a fence there even sometimes in competitions to do that so the dog should have been on a leash and tied in the stable or wherever the heck she put it how dumb is that
@@kathleenmurphy2379 a stall is not a fence, it's an enclosed box basically.
I had a horse and I know what a stall is but these dogs can get pretty high up in the air and practically climb out of his stall I know it's not a fence because offense a horse could get over but thank you so much for trying to straighten out something that you thought I didn't understand
@@kathleenmurphy2379 your welcome.
Thankfully, quarter horses are pretty chill lol
At the beginning when the horse was spinning it was pooping at the same time 🤣
The dog owner should be slapped. Ridiculous. Way to Cowboy up Luca.
Rbuffdogs I think you should be slapped! It was no ones fault it happened! Ugly dogs btw :)
I was only paying attention to that beautiful horse.........AND THEN THE DOG CAME AND STOLE THE SHOW! 😝😝
whew. Thank you.
Great cow/horse dog!!!
I love it! The dog is trying to herd him!
That is a cool video, no one got hurt & the canine stole the show 😍
Dog having the time of his life!
The dog still the show. Well dog and horse is a good combination.
Looks like the dog wanted a Autograph!
Border collie doing it’s job at the wrong place lol
Yes it is. I just love quarter horses. And I love how good we are at turn out. When I showed my horse she used to glow like this horse.
I hate when people go “oh my dog doesn’t need a leash”, OK well neither does my female, but I still put one on her because it’s the rules and I like being able to take my dog places so I abide by those rules. Just because you think you don’t need a leash with your dog doesn’t mean a situation won’t occur where you need one and then you will not have one like this
Laura Smith he is always on a leash whenever he out of the house :) he happened to slip out when being kenneled for dinner
Solid horse
so no one else seen the horse start pooping on his first turn :')
They all got lucky. That dog should have had a leash on though. I still remember riding my OTTB and getting charged at by a 150+ pound Newfoundland. Thankfully the owner had it stacked down and on a leash and my horse handled it well. Could have gone south if the owner didn’t have that leash on that dog.
Good thing they herd with their eyes instead of their mouths!!
I'm sorry they will nip a sheep's feet if the Sheep doesn't answer or they will nip the sheeps behind. But when they nipple shape in any place usually there's lots of fleece in the way so it doesn't break the skin or hurt the Sheep. But if that dog had nipped near the ankle of that horse it would have been dead with a Blow To The Head. Thank God the horse didn't break its leg because then that dog would have killed that horse and Riders have been severely injured when they're horse falls. My cousin was at a horse show showing her horse had a helmet on and her horse slipped on the concrete Runway or something and fell and when Patsy fell off the horse landed on her head crushed her helmet she survived for a few years but her brain was injured she couldn't walk it was horrible. That guy only had a cowboy hat on
Beautiful, I love it when proceedings are a little unexpected and aren’t exactly as planned ♥️
Leave the freaking dog at home!
Ok , if your going to bring your dog, at least get better restraints. That could have gone seriously wrong.
Love the people who think their dog is so obedient it doesn’t need a leash.
Janine Kennedy owners know he isn’t obedient as he is only a puppy (not yet 1) he is always on a leash google the interview after for all the details on the situation
Is it just me or does it look like that saddle is a bad fit!!!
Not necessarily. reining saddles do that honestly. it is more likely the cinch is two tight. Or the reason why the saddle is popping up is because he’s standing up in a stir up so he’s putting all the weight towards the front of his saddle. The other reason why I would say it more likely it does fit since he does not have A breast collar on the saddle. Which means The saddle does not slide back when he does more intense moves.
Here is a good video on saddle fitting reining horses ua-cam.com/video/bk8VBBkwAjQ/v-deo.html
The horse showed great control! Glad that the dog was not hurt!
Number 1 rule of horse shows, keep dogs in a stall and/or on a leash! I’m surprised she didn’t get her butt ripped in two for that. Reiner was so focused on his circles, didn’t give a damn about that dog haha that’s how you do it
Back cinch? Maybe? The saddle looks huge
I heard about this when i was getting my Xmas tree lol
A boca também abre igual um jacaré.
dog was doing it's job, funny. Glad horse , boy and dapg were all safe
Yay! He claimed his 2 minutes of fame! Go dog! lol. (Beautiful and lively horse;)
That dog is a rebel, lol! It was herding that horse and wouldn't give up until the job was done, lol!
I love border collies, the craziest dogs around. So funny!
what a ridiculous head set those horses are forced in to.
All is fine as long as they are used correctly. He wasn’t whipping his horse or pulling his mouth off. But I do agree a lot of equipment. But nothing is worse than the soaring they do to TW for saddle seat riding..
It’s actually quite good for horses. Everyone should be practicing a bit of long and low in any discipline. It builds top line and stretches a horses back
@@saltyfroots9 No it's not, not to that extreme, they can barely see. Have you ever seen a horse ever on it's own carry it's head that way? They would be toast in the wild as predators would easily pick them off.
Jane Tannerevans these aren’t wild horses though are they. They don’t have to be worried about predators and what makes you think they go around like this all the time? Firstly western pleasure horses are bred to have a lower headset, secondly they are only asked to be in this position when being ridden, which is a fraction of their lives compared to all the time they spend without a rider on their backs.
Going long and low is very good, I MUCH prefer to seem them going like this over having their head tucked into a frame which is very unnatural. And for being able to see - when you let the horse see it's footing for instance you let them stretch DOWN so they know where to place their feet. It's also called trusting their rider on direction.
when u dont train your herding dog *when* and *what* to herd
the dog is definitely a herding dog. you could see its confusion when people were whistling ( depends on what you teach but from what im accustomed to, herding dogs are trained by different whistles)and how he was constantly looking at the rider for instruction. i don't understand why the dog was not on leash in such a public area especially with other animals around. pure negligence on the owners behalf. Great horse and right decision by the lad to stop his run for the safety of him, his horse and the dog.
WHY DOES THE HORSE CARRY HIS HEAD SO LOW WHEN IT'S NOT THEIR NATURAL POSITION IN CANTER OR GALLOP.
Barbara Dyson it’s for the discipline. There are very, VERY few disciplines in which a horse actually has a natural headset. Plus long and low is sooo good for horses. Everyone should be practicing long and low in their rides no matter what discipline they do. It helps build a topline and stretches a horses back. So it’s all good!
Bring long and low like that is actually a very good thing for them. It's way better then having them frame 😬.
@@celenamcstravick3952 so you're saying that horses go like that naturally and don't have to be trained.
@@saltyfroots9 how does it stretch a horses back when someone is sitting on a heavy saddle on a horse, so when a horse canters or gallops it's better that his head is low, does that apply when he jumps
Barbara Dyson it doesn’t matter if someone is on their back, that doesn’t affect the horses ability to stretch or use their muscles at all. During ridden work long and low is very good, even if it’s not the entire session. I do at least 15 minutes of long and low per ride with my horse and I’m an English rider. Jumping is a completely different thing and it’d be physically impossible for a horse to be long and low while actively jumping, and while in between jumps it wouldn’t work because they need a higher head set to see a jump properly.
That is pure border collie herding mode. They are very smart and know comands well, but this one is young and still is learning when not to herd and stay by masters side.
I'm learning horse behavior and am starting up in lessons, so I only know the basics (please don't write me off as an idiot, I'm a fast learner!)
Anyway, can someone tell me why the horse's ears are pinned?? He's 100% not happy if they are that far back, and he's swishing his tail a lot and I think there was some hesitation to do as he was asked. I looked at the bit first and saw he was mouthing, but I dunno how to tell if he's just adjusting or actually hurting. The saddle if I remember for western, is where it should be, and I don't think the rider was pulling on the reins much. Could it be the bit? Or the crowd? Or just what he's doing?
(Please if you answer, tell me your background with horses and such so I know it's not just some cranky troll that doesn't really know, because I'm wanting to learn. And this isn't meant to insult anyone, I just want to make sure I'm not getting WRONG info)
I'm pretty sure that it was the bit, I've been taught to not ride in bits UNLESS you absolutely need them, this horse right here looks like he was uncomfortable with the bit. Having that said, people nowadays should know better when putting a bit on their horse, if you ride in a bit, make sure the teeth are floated, I bet the horse was getting the sharp points on his teeth causing the discomfort and pain. Do not hate on me, I was taught different and taught to be aware of how the horse is feeling before you ride. Ellen, Good luck with riding!
And I've been around horses for 4-5 years, with all with different ways of riding and such, I'm not a cranky troll, I have a horse, got him a year and a half ago, and I'm still training him.
@@Hannahs_Mustangs thanks, that really helped!! I know rubber bits can still hurt if they aren't used correctly or the rider is pulling super hard, and same with metal of course. I ride with a rubber bit (my trainer's horse, English riding). I never ripped his face off or anything, or even got much of a "oi stop that" from him, but I do tend to pull on accident when I'm posting or doing 2 point. I'm only trotting a little rn, but teacher had me practice positions so I know them well come actually needing them. I also tend to pull a bit harsher when asking him to stop, and I just need more opportunity to fix it by doing, cuz I know how XD
I love though that my teacher pushed the power of body language, for the horse especially, and for myself. I don't kick when I want him to move, I squeeze, I lean when I turn, I sit back when I woah. I feel a disconnect from any partnership with him (but it's there), but that's because he isn't MY horse. We work well together though and we treat each other with earned respect. I love him though and really look up to my trainer.
Honestly now I low-key wanna ask if we can spend half of my hour off the saddle doing something focused on body language and partnership or something. Does that sound dumb??
@@Hannahs_Mustangs also it's not to accuse, it's a precaution. I'm sure we both know there are some bitchy equestrians out there who are talking about subjects they know little about. I wouldn't consider myself an "equestrian" but I'm earning my way there. Looking at comments and videos on UA-cam, and from what I've seen IRL I can confidently say my trainer is teaching me the right things and humane way.
I don't wanna say right because there's multiple ways to teach similar things, but I was going for she wasn't teaching the WRONG things.
Sorry I'm wordy X3
I was there and it was luca
As dangerous as this could be, it did give me a laugh. Great job, both horse and rider!
0:44 yup that Looks painful
Nice driving skills 👍
Damn but im not really liking what the Quarter Horse is looking like these days. If it weren't for the massive hindquarters I'd think that was mostly Arabian.
That's a horse bred specifically for the sport of reining. They're shorter than other quarter horses bred for other purposes.
@@suzanneyoung8011 was actually referring to the thin neck and incredibly small head with the deep arab dish.
I'm familiar with that horse's pedigree. It's got good foundation stock.
It figures it's a border collie 😂👌
So did he get a reride?
Kelli Johnson yes!
You should never have a horses neck in that position
Pulled down too far.
Exactly it can hurt the horses neck
OcalaBoxer I don’t see them that low in English competitions and other stuff. His reins are loose but he forces the horse to do that which isn’t right. It’s the same thing if we bend our backs to much and it horse. The horse bends it’s neck then it hurts same thing. Just people don’t realize that horses have feelings too
OcalaBoxer if you think it’s low then why does he almost touch his chest? He definitely shouldn’t be doing that. It’s the same thing as us bending our backs to much. It just causes them pain
OcalaBoxer I’m not saying it hurts the horses back. I’m just saying it’s the same if we bend of backs to much it causes pain. If the bend their necks to much it causes pain
0:44-0:46 ouch
Shout out to Ora. I know you are watching. Lol. From susan. Go tigers
Well handled by all involved, including the horse. I love having dogs at horse shows, they go along like peanut butter and jelly, but KEEP THEM ON A LEASH. This could have ended very poorly for the dog.
Luca Fappani NRHA Futurity.
Who knew a Border Collie needed a leash around livestock? Duuuuuhhhhh....
Imagine being the owner of that dog 😬 so embarrassing
I show with luca and hes my bestfriend
What was his score? Yes dogs need leashes people. Wow! Funny but not funny at same time.
Its possible all the whistling confused the dog. He looked confused.
Why was there a dog at a horse show? Dogs are not permitted on the grounds at horse shows in Australia, for safety reasons. Doesn’t America have a ruling on dogs also? If no, it’s clearly high time they did!
Nope, unfortunately just about anyone cane bring there dog to a show. Some shoes have leash rules but most I’ve been to don’t.
It's been common for years and years for dogs to be at horse shows in the US, but they should always be on a leash. But sometimes accidents can happen, just like horses can get loose sometimes.
ItsallGood
Sorry mate, there’s a huge difference between “accidents can happen” and negligent, irresponsible dog owners. Take dogs out of the equation and there’s one less dangerous possibility to manage!
MissRightTurn That’s sad to read. It’s a dreadful error of judgement on behalf of the horse show committees. It’s high time they put safety at the top of their agenda!
In the 40 yrs of showing horses with dogs being allowed in, I have never once seen this happen. We will just have to agree to disagree.
Is anyone talking about the bit he’s using?
No ok well those bits are so fucking painful
Everytime a person with little to no knowledge talks about a bit being painful, an angel looses it's wings. It getting ridiculous. "Hackamores are not more humane because there is no bit in the horse's mouth. Hackamores can be very harsh, causing severe pain to the horse's sensitive face. ... Beginner riders with a tendency to hold onto the reins for balance may inadvertently pull on the horse's face, causing pain and confusion."
only in oklahoma
The dog was just being a dog, don't blame him. Very, very lucky nobody got injured. Good job mom
Always don't forget the dog leash
I would’ve been so pissed off if that happened to me. I understand it was an accident, but that dog would’ve completely fucked me up
The dogs lucky the horse didn't kick them in the head and kill him. But that dog was doing his hurting Instinct that they're supposed to do with sheep not
The horse seems to know that it's a ranch dog.
just saying that border would’ve been fine 💀
That is a dang good horse to not have switched leads or slowed down. But that person didn’t need to have their dog at that.
The owner of that dog should be banned.
no, the owner should just need a warning, NOBODY GOT HURT!!!
It shouldn't take a death to ban people... But in this situation .. It should give just cause to ban dogs from shows. Unless it's a service animal.
Fenton! Fenton!! Fenton!! Jesus Christ! Fenton!!!
Yes the horse was fine with the dog, but he was being completely evasive from the bit, guy is obviously pulling before transitions, horse is hiding behind the vertical most of the time, why are they showing this horse again? That was a mess of a presentation long before the dog.
Cattle dogs lmao love them so much 😂❤️
"it's a heeler" yeah there's also things called leashes 🤦♀️. This was beyond reckless of the dogs owner. If the horse were to be reactive around dogs things could have gone south VERY fast. I'd be fuming.
Doggo: I know this game! Its the Runing Around game! My favorite game! Bigger doggo, we play the game!!!🐕🐎🐴🐶
In CA....if a dog is involved in any way what-so-ever with a horse and / or rider... and there is any type of injury ( physical or mental) to the horse or rider or damage to the property....The trainer or rider or owner holding EQUINE LIABILITY INSURANCE to cover these injuries or damages will not be covered! It VOIDS the policy totally n someone ia going to have to pay a fortune! And good luck getting insurance again even if the insurance pays nothing! Holy crap y'all!
Dogs r wonderful animals period end of story ..if people don't exercise them they will do it themselves . Take him for a hike instead of a horse competition . 🥾🚶♀️🐕
Its never an animal's fault always the owner's the border collie (by the looks of it) was doing its job as a herding dog he didn't know.
Exactly, he was doing exactly what he was made for. Owners fault, not dogs. They are meant to herd.
Why do people bring their damn dogs? Surely it wouldn't kill them to leave them at home. If its not a service dog don't bring them.
0:44 wtf duuude.. the fucking bit istg
Everyone looks at the dog, but nobody cares how much pain the horse's probably in
I bet the dogs owner was embarrassed
The guy is cute lol
I hope whoever had that dog was banned, your pets are your responsibility and they should have had the dog on leash. I don’t care if you “love your dog.” If you love your dog, you would put it on a leash and not let it jump into the arena.
I used to think reining was incredible. I have come to believe that repeatedly making a horse do those sliding stops and ridiculously extreme spins can't be good for their joints. If these are 'ranch horse' type moves, when exactly do they come into play? Spinning a horse as fast as it can possibly confuses a cow? Does it make cows go into a pen? The sliding stop, does it impress steer or sheep with the horse's agility? I no longer see these as necessary or good things to do with a horse. It is born from people's egos to show off the really unnatural and unnecessary things they can making their horses do.
A lot of things we teach our horses today don't contribute to anything they necessarily would use in everyday life. Just as a purely show reining horse might not ever even see a cow. Their tricks are made up of and are the end result of maneuvers and building blocks used in cutting/penning and actual cow reining. This reining uses full spins, when on a cow or herd you'd only have the use of a 180 spin to change direction. quick stops are used against the fence to keep the cow in. Same with dressage, it started off as neat tactic for battle/war against an enemy and is now seen as this refined english riding event that's full of movements horses can naturally establish but rarely need. If a movement wasn't 'natural' the horse would have no ability or bred affinity for it. In training these horses get exercised in more than just what they are trained for, like any event animal, as the horse would become dull and predictable from too much repetition in their working life.
