@@JuliBiondo it really depends I wouldn’t know much about owning them since I only have done lessons with them for almost 6 years they are sweet and have lots of personality they are super versatile and smooth I definitely recommend them you just would need to find the right one they can be quite strong and not the best for a newer riding depending on the horse
The depresser tendon is cut and the tail is put in a "set" or brace to maintain that position. It is then kept in a bag to protect it. The whole horse is covered all the time with face covering, neck sweat wrap, blanket and leg wraps. I laughed when I saw them turned out in the pasture as that wouldn't happen for fear of a hair getting out of place. Plus if you ever let them out good luck ever catching them again, LOL!
@@chrishale1345 Haters gotta hate. If Smith Lilly or Melissa Moore were around this bunch, they'd just sigh, shake their heads and walk away. Believe I will too.
I do not believe all of these people are trying to be “horse abusers”. I am going to assume (and *hope*) the reason they participate and train in this style is due to ignorance of equine physiology. Anyone who is familiar in the slightest, who really cares for and loves their horse(s), would immediately abandon saddle seat.
if you watch saddlebreds in the pasture, they trot this way all by themselves; its NOT horse abuse at all; if you are trying to locate horse abuse, go directly to the tennessee walking horse, the big sick lick class, you will find plenty of abuse fodder there...
@@smokeykit57 ive been to plenty of shows and could count on one hand the amt of slightly swaybacked ones at all. as for the shoeing, they are like the smallest lightest shoe in any ring; i think u are confusing the TWH shoe, called the clodhopper...
That’s a different breed, the Morgan horse. Morgan’s and Saddlebreds are very similar breeds( one is just a little more refined than the other), so I can see the mix up. Saddlebreds don’t have a cool origin story like that.
Why can’t I find American Saddlebreds that are just trail horses ? I can’t find one that isn’t a fancy show horse for big money. I don’t care anything about that stuff. All I ever see as trail horses are quarters and Tennessee walkers
Shelly Webster they are bred that way! (I would not reccoment making your horse have a high tail set, as it causes them a ton of pain if they aren’t bred that way!)
@ShellyWebster they tie the tails. It causes huge pain to the horse. Nothing you see on this video is natural. Pulling on the bit, big lick methods etc is just cruel
@@CloseToExtinction this isn’t big lick-this is saddleseat. Wtf.... us saddleseat riders DESPISE big lick and think it should end. These horses are NATURALLY gaited, and NATURALLY high tails.
It's unfortunate that I chose this video to learn about the horse breed and instead learned how these women feel about themselves. Hint: I don't care how they feel.
the saddle seat discipline is NOTHING like the big lick. Obviously you have not done any research and are just relying on looks for your point. Saddlebreds are not abused and are not sored and unlike the media says they are treated very well and are very well taken care of. The only reason they put their hands up to that height and use full bridles are because of the natural headset and the behavior of that horse. The ONLY similarity in theses two disciplines are that they have a similar saddle. The Big Lick mainly sores,breaks tails, and puts big block on the hoofs. Oh and they use a completely different breed of horse(the Tennessee Walker) the difference in saddlebreds and the Tennessee walker is that one have a very exaggerated step and headset( the saddlebred) and the other is a breed mainly known for its gait and doesn’t have a big headset(Tennessee walkers). So many people always hate on the saddleseat discipline because of the big lick. So only speak out if you know what your talking about please.
@ S B you obviously don't have a clue about riding (considering what you re-post on your channel). Horses who are involved with Saddle seat, have their ears forward, and a willingly going. I ride Saddle seat, and I can tell you that most riders in every discipline (except the big lick) are good. Saddle seat is unique, and is an adrenaline rush, for both the rider and the horse. These horses naturally move this way, and their headset is natural. They are bred to do this, and I can assure you that they all get lots of pats, treats and love. Watch some GoPro footage of Saddle seat riders, and you will see that their care for their horses is extraordinary. I am actually writing a petition on the big lick, to illegalize it. So, if you would like to make a difference 1.) do some research on Saddle seat and big lick, and 2.) you can type your name for the print in the comments, and I will use your account name for the signature. Now go out there, educate yourself, and stop hating on Saddle seat!!!-Josie on her dads account
Also, Saddle seat is protected by the USEF, and unlike the big lick, has rules to protect the Morgans, Saddlebreds, Hackneys, Roadsters, Freisans, and Arabians, so that they can all have fun, and enjoy the adrenaline rush of Saddle seat riding:)-Josie on her dads account
@@richardwelsh3040 So tail- tying is because people love the horse?! It causes huge pain to the horse only in order to make them look better because someone had a sick vision
Beautiful horses
This has to be one of the most beautiful breeds of horses
They are such a beautiful breed! 💕
I love saddlebreds so much I grew up riding them they’re so fun and gorgeous they have a lot of personality which I like
I’m looking at a saddle bread as a first time horse is there any tips? Do you think it would be a good first horse?

I had one one dad bought hem back 1967 and he was a good hors to have and he past away 1997 we loved him so much
Gorgeous Horse
thanks I needed this
Please talk about the Mangalarga Horse. they were developted in Brazil.
What should I know will be different from a saddlebred from another breed as a first time horse?

Dana Ventura do you ride? Because none of that is true, I always let my saddlebred out in the pasture

My saddlebred meets me at the gate 🤷♀️
American Saddlebreds are bred to move and have a tail set like that, plus- all the Saddlebreds I ride with always get out of the pasture at one point.
I'm surprised they can do also carriage driving, for the other things they are like KWPN horses.

There are lots of Facebook groups that sell saddlebreds for hacking! They’re very popular
check out american saddlebred western class; plenty there on yt.
look up bill shatner on saddlebreds
You should come ride my Arabs and Dutch Harness horse
How do they get their tails so high like that. It's beautiful. I would like to do this with my horse.

i do. I struggle with self-esteem so seeing this made me happy. It makes me feel more confidence in myself. It’s truly therapeutic.
@@johannaappleforest7482 I wanted to see the horses and learn about the breed. So.......yay for you
Cool.
This breed is so amazingly beautiful but I think its terrifying to se that you actually show big lick that is animal abuse! Shame on you!!!
Learned next to nothing.
Was a commercial
Animal abuse !!! Big lick in a less obvious style ! SHAME ON YOU !
