Thumbs-down is a horse hater. Shameful.
Actually it's those vile creatures which used the live under bridges and known as trolls. Unfortunately they now have the internet.
@@bigblue6917 But that's all they have. Can't snuggle up to the Internet at the end of the day.
I got a thumbs down on hound puppies .. can you believe that hound puppies sad people lol
@@bigblue6917 So you're saying that the trolls moved on from hating goats to horses? The shame of it all!
Some folks are just that way Santee.
I myself can not phantom the idea of going through life with a willow tree up my arse
I had a beautiful Tobiano Paint named Pete. I loved that horse. He thought he was a big dog. Great video.
HA! That's awesome.
@@ArizonaGhostriders What laboeuf means when him says to rooster in true grito:your american horse??
@@pedroh.appaloosa2105 Not sure, but he may mean it's a Mustang.
To my understanding the Lokota tribe referred to horses as big dogs. Second hand information.👍
As Colonel Sherman Potter once said on the Television series MASH , " I'd rather spend the day with my horse than 99 % of the people I've known " . Now I'm not sure if those are the exact words but I sure as Hell agree with him.
Many horse folk think that.
Agree
OK, YOU ASKED FOR IT! Man walks into a bar, says "OW!"! It was an iron bar! Now, what about one on different types of mule?
Certainily. Good joke!
I heard one about guy who walks into a bar with a horse and tells the bartender that he can make the horse laugh and cry for drinks but its wildly inappropriate as kids may watch the channel.
Ted Nugent I’ve heard that one ... showed him lol
@@BrettVaughnB100 Yup, that's the one man.
@@tednugent8501 Tell me please
Horses are amazing animals.
In Florida we still have horses that were imported by the Spaniards during their conquest of the new world. They're referred to as cracker horses, there's also cracker cattle. both of these species we're bread to survive the Heat and insects that you would find subtropical Florida. You can see the difference between them and the breeds mentioned in this piece. Thanks for sharing.
You're welcome!
This is a confusing comment. Aren’t ALL horses found in the US (such as mustangs) still the original horses imported from the Spanish? Horses are not native here
Great job Santee. I’ll admit I had to chuckle when Rex showed up as Mr Ed. (Mr Ed is buried near Tahlequah Oklahoma)
I didn't know that. Thanks!
Which one, the palomino or the quarter horse?
My uncle works at a ranch called Kingsville in Houston Texas and they have a horse back school mainly for work horses and I remember my first horse i got since childhood was the ardenne and then now I use an American standbred for ranch work and to be honest they are such beautiful animals
Yes. Thanks for sharing that.
Those who are giving this video a thumbs down are a bunch of Nay sayers, Arizona Ghostriders keep getting interesting with each video and makes me appreciate the history about the wild west.
Aww, don't worry about those folks. Trolls are all over UA-cam. I don't think they even watch, just go around thumbs-downing. The joke is on them, though. A view is a view to UA-cam and I get compensated for it.
Me and my daughter loved... I used to work on a 200 acre horse farm... Haven't rode in a long time life has changed things but still got my saddle got it from a cowboy friend of mine him and the ole leathersmith traced its date back to prior 1890 when redoing the leather.
Awww, thanks for watching. Love to see tha saddle sometime.
@@ArizonaGhostriders if I can figure out how will send ya a couple pics of it then if I ever make your way will bring it with me... Would love to sew one of the shows y'all do some time...
I love horses. I think my first fascination with them was the movie Spirit Stallion of the Cimarron. The model of him was based on a Kiger Mustang.
Oh yeah! I remember that.
@@ArizonaGhostriders it was a good film. Wish we had a sequel, and it was planned, but Shrek got in the way. :(
We owe so much to horses. Imagine our world without the edge they gave to early settlers.
It would have been tough. They are heroes more than we are.
Not only for early settlers but also the wars that they were heavily relied upon for supplies and transportation.
@Patti Morris we ranch and farm with horses and have many friends that hay thousand of acres with horses and put up loose hay stacks.
@@doitfancy7657 I grew up on a fairly large cattle ranch in central B.C. (around 200 head on 1600 acre), with about 20 head of horses including our riding geldings, stud and mares (my grandfather breeds and breaks American quarter horses, or rather used too, retired from riding now due to age and back) As a kid we used to go help our neighbor hay as he still did it the old way, he would cut it with a sythe and put it in "stooks" he called them, and we would go around the field in a huge wagon pulled by a couple draft horses and stack the stooks on the wagon lol. Personally. My family owes their current lively hood to horses and cattle. The cattle we still ranch. We just don't breed our own horses any more, as my grandfather was the one with all the horse sense.
@@ArizonaGhostriders Beg to differ Santee.
Giddyup! I haven't been riding in a few years, about time to go again! Horses are still in use around my neck of the woods (Amish). Thanks for the video Santee!
You're welcome! Much appreciated.
A little over a week ago I started interning on a local horse ranch and it's been a lot of fun. Being the intern I get a lot of the grunt work but I've learned a ton so far
That's amazing!
Now mules .. would be interesting lots of old west history with mules
Absolutely.
What about Hinnies?
@@kilgoretrout4491 Those will be in a Mule/donkey video.
Yes a mule video would be great
@@emilianoavalos6190 OK!
It’s a good day when AZ Ghostriders post a video 😍😍
Thank you!
Was that Dirty Dan looking like a horse whisperer? I have to admit I pretty much tied every breed of horse you mentioned back to RDR2. Thanks for the video Santee. As always it's great information you give here.
Thank you very much, Ryan.
I love this channel. I'm a travelling stockman and sheep shearer here in Australia. I'm well read in our colonial history and know a lot that's not written down. I can relate to a lot on this channel. There seems to be an equivalent to American history in Australia. Our two countries are like brothers growing up in separate lands.
Yes! Thank you so much for watching and commenting.
As a horseman, I sometimes cringe listening to the ridiculous dialog spewed forth by well meaning "tenderfoots" about horses and horse breeds. But I'm thoroughly impressed by the informed job you did, Santee. I give you (and Edwina) a thumbs up, straight from my horse's mouth! 😂
Thank you very much. That's high praise!
This one had extra work in it and that shows! Great job!
Actually, less work on my part, since Edwina gave me so much research. I appreciate it!
"Why the long face?"
Answer: "I was a forceps baby."
Good answer.
@@ArizonaGhostriders talk about beating a dead horse....
Horses were my favorite animal as a kid. The church we went to had a member that owned a riding ranch north of Pittsburgh and every summer us kids got to go riding at the ranch. If you went to the church's school, which I did for a couple years, you got to go riding in the spring, too. I haven't ridden in years and miss it. Those were some fun times.
Go riding. Nostalgia is terrific.
I grew up on a cattle ranch in the Powder River country of WY. Got my first horse at age 5, a Shetland! But he couldn't keep up with my dad's "Bulldog" Quarter Horse, so I graduated to a Welsh at age 7! By the time I was 11 I had a full size horse, not sure of the breed! He is the one I really started to learn cattle work on! When I was 16 I acquired a horse that turned out to be the best horse I had ever sat. No matter what kind of a jackpot I got us into he never lost his head! Excellent cow horse, and a master at corralling horses! Turned out to be a Morgan! In the ensuing years I had several good horses, mostly Quarter Horses, a couple of Thoroughbreds, and an Arab Appaloosa cross! About 1980 we decided to raise horses as well as cattle, and based on that Morgan, and being someone who doesn't do what everyone else does, we raised Morgans! Stood up to 3 Morgan stallions at one time, had as many as 30 some counting mares and get! I found them to be excellent cow horses, long on stamina, common sense, and intelligence! Our first stallion was a spitting image of that first Morgan when I was a teenager. He was amazing! With me he was all macho, but I could dismount to tag a new born calf and I never had to worry about moma cow taking me on because he would keep her away from me! Yet I could put our 9 YO grandson on that stud and he was a dead headed kid's horse. I still have 2 Morgans, one is a 30 year old grandson of that first Stallion! I still ride him 2-3 times a week! Not hard, we are both too old for that.
So glad you shared that. Thanks, Ron!!
@@ArizonaGhostriders You bet!
Great video as always Santee!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Wow this channel is my new favorite thing to watch. Thank y’all for making my quarantine better
Glad you enjoy it!
John Wayne’s, Appaloosa has always been my favorite, especially that scene (thanks). 👍🏼🤠
Cochise was the horse's name. Same name as Little Joe's horse on Bonanza..
Julie Nielsen yeh, thought of that after I wrote that, but didn’t know it was Lill Joe’s also. Learn something new every day (try to).👍🏼❤️🤠
You're welcome!
If you could do a video on some of the basic care you'd have to put into your steed, such as feed, combing, shoeing, etc., I'm sure it'd be appreciated.
It's just that it's a topic that gets left out of most movies.
Thanks for the idea!
I have loved horses all my life. My last horse passed away June 28th 2018. I miss her every day..
So sorry to hear that. When you're ready, hope you get another one.
Awe I LOVE that you included Mr. Ed in your video. I use to watch Mr. Ed all the time when i was little (beginning/early 80s). My dad and brothers use to joke with me on how they use to make Mr. Ed talk. 😂 hint: involves a carrot.
Glad you enjoyed it.
Morning Santee i love horses so this was right up my alley., i remember most of my younger teen year moving around the hills on my old station hack sure made my long days easier., only got dumped and kicked a few times :)., my very first ever job was at a riding club helping with the stables in return they took me on treks and taught me how to ride., have an amazing rest of your weekend.
Thanks for sharing. I appreciate you watching, as always, my NZ friend!
Funny, very funny Santee. And also informative. I always wondered about this. The movies always have the same type of Quarter Horse for everyone.
Glad you learned and enjoyed!
Hi Santee. Such a wonderful video. Horses are such beautiful animals. And being from Kentucky we cherish them. Tfs my friend. Diane
Thank you!
I own 2 horses. I have a Mustang who was wild. As well as an Appaloosa. My Mustang is very tame and durable. My Appaloosa is fast and goes forever.
Yeehaw!
@@ArizonaGhostriders *Yeehaw!*
Very informative video. Thanks, Santee.
My pleasure!
Great intro to the history and breeds of the West, Santee! I myself have a Rocky Mountain stallion. He's thirteen years old. I got him when he was just a colt. My uncle gave him to me when I was working on his ranch in the Summers in Texas, back when I was a teenager.
Very cool! Thanks for commenting and enjoy that equine!
@@ArizonaGhostriders, thank you, Santee! I always enjoy your videos with my morning coffee. Gonna take a trail ride later this afternoon and enjoy the day. Happy Memorial Day to you and the crew!
@@jesupcolt Thank you and enjoy your ride.
@@ArizonaGhostriders, see y'all on down the trail!
Oooo that breed has my all time fav color I've ever seen on a horse. The really deep chocolate with the pale flaxen mane and tail
The Narragansett pacer is also part of the foundation of the Standardbred ( the buggy horse, trotters, and pacers, harness racers).
Right. All them trotter types!
3:16 Godamnit Santee, now I gotta go reinstall RDR2.
BTW, it's Kentucky "Saddler" in the game. I copy/pasted the wrong word.
Thanks a lot Santee. If it hadn't been for y'all i wouldn't be looking for Rex to show up in old west shows
LOL!
Well while your jaw singing a happy tune at 102 along comes the AGR logo no bones about it... Well done and very informative!!!!
Thanks for that!
Majestic animals, and the Fugue for Tinhorns. I like it!
Yes!
Pretty interesting thing I learned was the Appaloosas' LP gene for spots showed up in predomesticated horses. There's cave paintings of them in the pech Merle cave in France.
Cool info!
Good morning Santee!!
Hey hey!
I had been horse back riding a couple times at tourist trail ride attractions.
But I moved out to Alberta and made friends with a genuine rancher who got me into horseback riding because he was bored checking the herds and the fence line by himself.
He lets me ride a stubborn quarter horse named Dunny, because he’s a Dunn lol
What a great experience.
Thanks for another awesome video. Horses are stars.
Yes they are!
My niece laughed so hard when you told the horse the joke and the horse seemed to get distracted. Thank you.
Yeah, that joke is hit or miss with the equines. But, I feel it's important to try.
Love the mustang Dirty Dan is loving on. I love my mustangs, hardy horses that work their hearts out for the person that has earned their trust. .
That's a favorite of his
CATTLE AND SHEEP LIVING TOGETHER! OMG!
Horses and Camels both evolved in (what became) North America.
They had to move on when the rent skyrocketed.
Rent! HA!
@@ArizonaGhostriders Not to mention the rhinoceros.
Great video, I know a lot more about horses now, and you even got to do the ending this time!
Glad you enjoyed it!
This showed up in my suggestions and I found it quite interesting. Thanks Arizona Ghost Riders.
🐴🐴🐴🐎🐎🐂🐃🐏🐏🏜🏜
You're welcome! Much appreciated.
I just got myself a quarter horse and a Freisan, if I spelled that right, a few days ago. Beautiful beasts.
Congrats!
Gotta love horses. I miss riding. Range horses away offered fun. They ran free till roundup and branding so they were particularly fond of having to work and had to be “talked into it”. I loved it!good video.
Thank you!
I got the horses in the back. I used to have a black and white paint, named Whiskey. I miss and love him.💜💜💜💜💜 Now he's going to that old town road in the sky.
Awwww. Well, was Whiskey named after Kirk Douglas' horse in the Villain?
@@ArizonaGhostriders No. I hope to see that movie.
Love this channel
Thank you!
Could please do a video (when you have time) on the difference between English and Western riding (including the saddle difference)? Please and thank you.
I'd like to second this.
@@eldorados_lost_searcher thanks.
Great idea!
@@ArizonaGhostriders glad you like it.
@@ArizonaGhostriders Yeah I think so too. Lots of horse material.
Some of the army posts kept Standardbred stallions (trotters) that ranchers could breed mares to to generally upgrade western horses. They were considered strong, healthy, and useful.
Thanks for the extra info.
We should give you the horse laugh for that last joke! 😂
Seriously my grandfather was a breeder of Hunter and Show Hunter horses for fox hunting and equestrian competition. So your segment on horses warmed my heart! Thanks as always!
Oh, neigh.
Sorry to be a nag!
Right on time santee ! I Was thinking about this a few minutes ago
Read your mind!
Best horse I ever rode was an Ardennes named Brownie Boy Jim. He's a biggin even for an Ardennes, but Brownie never spooks. We had to round up his sheep that broke out of a hole in the fence due to the thunderstorm going on at the time. We got them round up into an adjacent field safely, the trouble was getting back to the barn with the horses. We had a lightning strike about 300 yards away from us Mark's horse tried to Buck a little bit but he stayed on, Brownie did not give a shit. Brownie just turned looked at where the lightning hit and just kind of turned look back at me. Damn good horse.
Very cool! That's a great memory.
I never gave this much thought but now that you're pulling a video out about it I find it extremely interesting.
Thanks!
That was really cool video Sanger, I’ve always wondered about the horses in the west
You're welcome!
loved it, great humour and presentation!
Thanks so much!
Next time Santee does a horse episode, there'll be goats and alpacas in the background. :P
No doubt. I know a Llama that likes to be in videos.
My mule don't like people laughing, he's part horse too.
Part is right!
Have you ever been able to convince him that they weren't laughing at him?
@@doughesson Naw. That scene escalates into everyone dying so...nobody left to convince he poor mule.
Great Videos. I had a Apoloosa mare she looked very similar to the horse John Wayne rode .I also owned 2 Thourobreds. If I had lived back in the day I would have wanted to have one of these 3 horses they were tuff. Trail horses .Also had a Morgan she was a trusty steed indeed ! Love your channel Your friend Alabama Smokey Wilson
Very cool! Love that you shared that.
Great video Santee . Another Awesome video well done
Thanks for watching, Tyler. Congrats on your live stream!
Thank you Santee And thank you for Subscribing to my channel . It's truly an honor to be recognized by a man of your statue .
I’m still so pissed that this channel doesn’t have over 100k subs
I'm over the halfway mark. Hopefully before I'm in a wheelchair. Thanks!
Oh my! Been waiting for this one! Thanks Santee!!!
You're so welcome.
Looking forward to the future horse ones. Keep up the great work xx
@@sunshine-daisy Thank you!
Santee actually got to say his closing line this time!
Yup
I did read the quarter horse has connections to the horses the Boarder Reivers rode . These were a bread from the English Scottish boarders.
Interesting.
Hey Santee, can you make a Video about the clothes of the settlers in the old west
Erik
Yes.
Great Santee! And you wonder why I'm here every week! Awesome! Keep up the good work and stay healthy.
Thank you, Marco. Much appreciated.
Wish there were places to ride around my area... I can only recall riding a horse once when I was a kid.
Gotta try it as an adult.
This was a very cool video!!! Love and hugs
Glad you enjoyed it
Great video I've worked with a few of the breeds you showed today
Thanks 👍 Which ones?
Here's something for you. A few years ago a call went out for folk who had foundation MFT (Missouri Fox Trotters) to help save the breed known as Arabian. I seriously thought about allowing my double blue papered MFT to be breed so she could help. Anyways, great video. I'd like to see more about horses. Maybe even something about horses who protected and saved their human.
Will look into videos on that in the future.
I love this channel...hard to find info outside of westerns which is dubious as best.
🎄🎁🎄🎁Thank You!
Two animals I don’t think the modern man could have made it this far without. Our dogs and our horses. Like three peas in a pod.
Yes. Mules are maybe more important than horses in some aspects.
Very nice video. Well done. Thanks.
You're welcome!
My uncle had an awesome little Morgan that I rode all the time. Good video on the different breeds. Really enjoyable!
Very cool! Thank you!
Great video as always keep up the good work man
Appreciate it! Thank you.
Now that is my kind of video👍🇺🇸
I can't believe you did not mention Mules after all...they are half horse but, half ass😂👍🇺🇸
Glad to hear it, Dan!
Well, it's a horse video, not a mule video.
I'll do a mule video at some point.
@@ArizonaGhostriders 😂
@@UncleDanBand64 Everybody just wants to see some ass!
great made, love the way you do it!!!
Thank you very much!
Great video Santee! Tennessee Walkers were popular with Plantation owners of big Plantations. Made it easy on the rider for long trips.
Thanks for the info!
Mighty fine Santee. Thanks
Thank you too!
I had a 5 year old Appaloosa mare, had her bred twice to two different Appy studs and kept all 3 horses with me thru out their lives.
That's so cool, Arleen
how could one possibly dislike this video or horses?
Trolls.
The horses taken to America were a mix of Cold blooded European breeds from Spain crossed to Hot blooded Eastern Horses from the Moors following the conquest in 711. The result is probably best defined by the Andalusian breed. Very similar to the feral Mustangs.
Thanks for commenting and adding some info.
@@ArizonaGhostriders Pleasure guys! I found your channel being in lockdown in UK. You've made me laugh and learn, Thanks!
Yeah you did it!!!!!
Finally!
Great information in this video. Thank you
Glad you enjoyed it!
I have been waiting for this one thanks and keep it up
Will do!
There were actually three different Trigger horses, the original Trigger or the "Old Man" was half thoroughbred and half grade horse. The video mentions Trigger is a Tennessee Walker but I think the horse in that particular picture was either Trigger Jr. or Little Trigger
Yes, in the description field I have a correction.
Growing up with Roy Rogers as a kid, I thought it was just really interesting that there were three different horses used. Love the videos!
Nice video , thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching!
Live off grid use horses daily for transportation especially in the winter.
It's funny I have one morgan .one quarter horse two pacer harness racers and a rocky mountain. Also just had a colt born out of the rocky mountain mare by my standardbred pacing stallion.
Very cool family of equines ya got there!
@@ArizonaGhostriders
Thanks I use mine on my off grid homestead.
Pull a bobsled in the winter wagon in the wet weather
The Apache raid on a Spanish Mission in 1580 led to the Horse release that led to our frontier horses.
Thanks for some history.
Arizona Ghostriders posted a video, today's going to be a great day!!!
Hope it didn't disappoint.
@@ArizonaGhostriders Your videos never disappoint
Hey santee I’ve been kind of curious, how ‘bout one on what life was like living on a ranch in the old west
Great idea. Thanks!
Per grandparents, the more useful horses were Belgians. You could actually saddle them up and ride them in addition to being in harness. They actually had a fantastic disposition.
I bet!
Most all the horse pulls around here are won by Belgians with an occasional Percheron coming through.
Another awesome video my friend. This is one thing I have not learned. I always thought it was bought from the Indians. LOL. Great share Santee. 👍👍👍👍
Thank you!
Great topic Santee and good video. Good cameo appearance by Rex, at least he is trying.
Thanks 👍 He gets confused whenever I use the term "Prehistoric"
Thanks for the amazing video, Santee. Can you make a video about Saloons in the old west?
Did it already. In the future we will cover specific ones in more detail.
Thanks Santee I really liked the video
I'm glad!
