I loved them all---for different reasons. Little Big Hooves cracked me up---those Minis pulling the little wagon alongside the big Percheron team was a very funny visual.
I came in late to the show but enjoyed the last three and all the horses and their trainers were fantastic .. can’t even pick a fave as they all are my favorites!! Such snart and beautiful horses!❤️❤️🐴🐎
Wow!, I would love being there to watch that in person!!! Of course Guy, McLean was FANTASTIC! but I enjoyed little big hooves also. What a unique idea. Like you, I would have been dying to be a member of the the Little Doves when I was a little girl but that would be more than 50 years ago, lol! great video, Britta, and welcome back. ❤
I'm pretty sure I've seen Guy Mclean perform here in Australia, but if I remember correctly, he had a single horse and did a bunch of stuff without any tack, basically showcasing the horses training. This was 20 odd years ago at the Ekka, which would be the U.S. equivalent of a county fair where city meets country.
you should go to the Horse World Expo in Harrisburg PA! in the last weekend in febaury into the first weekend of March (Feb 27 to March 2) in 2025. I go every year but likely this will be m y last year going since I'm moving out of state that tuesday (friend is coming to the expo and helping me move!)
My favourite is ALL OF THEM 🥰, every performance was just so beautiful and amazing to watch, what special connections between the horses and their riders/owners is so wonderful, tfs x Julie 🇬🇧
I had a few favorites. I tend to like the ones with background stories, not just performing their chosen discipline. Guy was awesome and his promise to his horses kept. I also loved Little big hooves and Magic the Mustang. I think its always a wonder to show the tiniest next to the gentle giants. In the end everyone's there for our mutual love of the horse! I sometimes feel sad that less qnd less people seem exposed to them due to technology taking us away from nature. So many young generations have never even been in a barn and met a horse, let alone got to see all the things thet can do, hiw smart and lovely they are, and how fun being partners with them is. I pray for our future to bring the horse back to center stage, make it more affordable and easier to own them, and bring them back to everyday life. I'd like to one day see horses classified as pets instead of livestock in our country. This status woukd protect them from a whole lot more and bring these beautiful animals more justice in their lives. If we change their status to pets so many restrictions could be lifted and more can find loving homes. So etudes people say they're doing better for the animal, but their actions don't reflect their words. I dislike the auction of mustangs because it's a system thats backed by greed and status. If I wanted the horse of my dreams, for example, I had better have the money to pay for the color pattern and not just a horse. Its not equal treatment. Its a system that only rewards those with money, and in many cases leaves many other mustangs in the holding pens for years. I'd like to see more drop off points, so kore people can get their chosen mustang shipped closer to their home. I'd finally like to see the BLM and horse people cooperate together to have a better system. Cats and dogs, and even farm animals have foster care for adoptees. I think horse people should work together with the BLM and American Indian reservations who thin out their wild herds to have foster care for horses instead of these massive dry lot holding facilities. What better way to make a Mustangs life better than to be in a smaller settings learning how to be a member of someone family and get more training to benefit them and get them their forever homes. Even if each state had a couple large foster farms, a few trainers, and the BLM covered transport and training/housing fees until adoption these beautiful animals woukd likely not be costing as much to hold for years and be happier and more well adjusted. Just need some farms, brave souls, training programs, and facilities that cooperate to provide a pick up point or two in every state. Thats my idea for a new way to handle the Mustang program. This allows Mustangs to be offered and housed in every state, while still adopted online, and shipped for convenience to their new owners to easily be able to pick up and take home. I honestly don't know why this hasn't been thought of years ago. There's no reason any mustang should be left in a facility for years when they couod have a normal life and be loved. Any horses that cannot be adoptable could easily be allowed to go to sanctuaries and even zoo programs, because they are used to taking care of wild animals, while providing education, etc... I'd love to spend my life fostering mustangs for pay. No different than paying any other government employee, but more beneficial to Mustangs. Of course vet and farrier would also need appointed, because not just anyone is interested in helping these horses and risking their safety but true animal lovers.
Yea I like the background stories too! I really liked braveheart beasts for that reason too! It is crazy to me that some people have never met a horse in person! 🤯
I don't know that I could pick a favorite between Guy McClain and Ermes Zamperla & Co. They both exhibited such an amazing relationship between them and their animals!
Little Big Hooves were my favorite!!! Curious what the circus rider does would be considered safe for the horse. Almost all his weight can be off to one side or completely underneath… incredible agility but concerned for horses involved. I of course loved the black and white Fresian Paint performers as well
There were so many amazing performances. On the Mustangs however, so many have been rounded up and are in long term holding etc. Wyoming will probably soon have no wild horses left as the Rock Springs Grazing Assoc. wants it all for their cattle and sheep. They have the clout.
Wow, thank you for sharing this. Guy McLean's horses are amazing. I would love to see that performance in person.
Oh my gosh, Guy McLean was AMAZING!!!!!!❤
Love Guy Maclean( because im an Aussie)😊 but I love liberty anyway, great show❤
I loved them all---for different reasons. Little Big Hooves cracked me up---those Minis pulling the little wagon alongside the big Percheron team was a very funny visual.
Totally agree! That mini team was sooo stinkin cute!
It definitely was!! Im pretty sure Raven would have been almost right in the middle of the sizes😂
Hands down: Guy McLean and his gang of lovelies got my vote - simply amazing! They're the whole package, and super endearing.... Thanks Britta ❤
I love how he has committed to his little herd ! Always so good to see!
I came in late to the show but enjoyed the last three and all the horses and their trainers were fantastic .. can’t even pick a fave as they all are my favorites!! Such snart and beautiful horses!❤️❤️🐴🐎
Mini Doves were my favorite!
Sidepassing 4 horses over a horse on the ground! Wow! Guy was the winner in my eyes. ❤
They were all wonderful, but I enjoyed the “ Little Big Hooves” best!
Wow!, I would love being there to watch that in person!!! Of course Guy, McLean was FANTASTIC! but I enjoyed little big hooves also. What a unique idea. Like you, I would have been dying to be a member of the the Little Doves when I was a little girl but that would be more than 50 years ago, lol! great video, Britta, and welcome back. ❤
Guy McClean, and Mary Miller...with the unicorn 🦄 😊❤
All were quite impressive .👏
Thanks for taking us along!!
McLean ( haha )

That’s cool! You probably did!
Wow thank you for bringing us

Haven't been to that in years, but it was amazing ❤
I was looking into that one! it looks to have a lot going on! Great timing for me too being the end of winter/before spring 😂
My favourite is ALL OF THEM 🥰, every performance was just so beautiful and amazing to watch, what special connections between the horses and their riders/owners is so wonderful, tfs x Julie 🇬🇧

Beautiful animals ❤️ ♥️ 😍 💕 💖 💙 ❤️ ♥️ ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
You're welcome 😊 🙏 🤗

Such a shame they are still docking draft horse tails. I thought it was illegal, but apparently not.
I don’t know about the legality, but I sure wish that wouldn’t happen
I don't know that I could pick a favorite between Guy McClain and Ermes Zamperla & Co. They both exhibited such an amazing relationship between them and their animals!
Minnesota has a horse expo every spring at the fairgrounds in St. Paul. They've got a parade of breeds or used to at least
Thank you! I’ll have to look into it!
they were all good but Guy McLean was my favorite.
Guy McLean has my vote😉
Little Big Hooves were my favorite!!! Curious what the circus rider does would be considered safe for the horse. Almost all his weight can be off to one side or completely underneath… incredible agility but concerned for horses involved. I of course loved the black and white Fresian Paint performers as well
I really liked braveheart beasts ! (the friesian/paints)
And Yea, it did look quite challenging for that circus horse, especially while circling
Lauren Sammis needs to be pulled up on riding her horse behind the vertical. The horses can’t breathe! It’s so cruel.
guy and his loved ones
There were so many amazing performances. On the Mustangs however, so many have been rounded up and are in long term holding etc. Wyoming will probably soon have no wild horses left as the Rock Springs Grazing Assoc. wants it all for their cattle and sheep. They have the clout.
It isn't letting me live chat, glitching..
michigan horse expo in march
I’ll have to check into it! Thanks!
Is this Hoys?

Guy and his family 🤠🫶🏼 then the Unicorn dream 🫶🏼🤠
