Just beautiful

[Armas]

Ever time I watch this I smile it inspires. I would like to do some of these things with my boy. Mind you letting him be at liberty on the beach mmm not sure I would ever catch him again.
Any way I am diversifying I love the video music everything awesome.

Watch and I am sure you will smile.

What are these Summer shoes you speak of. Redundant item in UK use it as excuse to go buy new ones when you get there.

We are just back from our sea side adventure. May try next year would need to keep a bucket of feed handy ! Next year I am aiming to ride in to the sea bareback so any thing is possible.
I dread to think how much work handle bar Pete has put in with those horse !
They all seemed very trusting imho.

I make it a point to go on holiday with the wrong footwear. OH falls for it every time best type of souvenir in my mind.

I noticed that moustache Pete has a pocketful of treats it must be great fun to swim barebacked. There's a great video on YouTube where Friesians are swimming in a lake. They really seem to love it too. Can't find it right now.

that would not have worked even when i was with my other half as we could never afford to go on holiday cos he used to spend more than he earnt.

so off to sort through old car that is waiting to be scrapped cos i am am sick of the site of it and it will cost more to fix than i will get by selling it.

wish me luck

 

[Bobbly]

That's just lovely, really enjoyed watching and am just a teeeny bit jealous!!

 

[Girlracer]

How inspiring. I do quite a lot of 'at liberty' with Maj and I'm just happy I can get him to reverse a circle with me, I wouldn't know where to start with half that.

Beautiful video

Funny but I normally like this sort of thing but this just makes me a little sad -the horses look so over-trained that they don't seem to even notice they're at the beach I bet if I had a big bag of treats in my pocket, my neds would stick with me too!

We are watching a well edited snap shot of something that probably took the best part of a day to film. I am sure if we saw the uncut clips etc it would posable look very different.
I am sure if they were unhappy they would not be so willing, there are days that my boy will do some things for a treat but when he does not want to thats that ! I think to have three horse at liberty was pleasant to watch.
I am curious at what point does it become overtraining ? Would you say an Olympic dressage horse was over trained ? I am not looking for an argument just curious. Please don't take my questions the wrong way.

It's really hard Armas, because for me when I watch videos like this I can't help having the question "how?" in the back of my mind. As I have first-hand experience of the basic training that builds into this level of liberty work with Parelli horses, I can't help having a hesitation. Having said that, these horses look much more relaxed than those in similar videos I've seen, and I do like to see that he's giving them some treat rewards. Beautiful horses in a beautiful setting.
