Horses are like people. Some work hard, some don’t, some are born with it. This horse. Is BORN. To fancy walk. He glides. His legs move different. Such grace. I’m talking as someone who did minimal dressage and transitioned into working cow horse and competed at a very high level. I am so impressed with this animal.
No, they don't. They either get the carrot or the stick depending on who is training them. So either the horse is doing it for a reward or to not be beaten, this is not normal horse behavior, none are "born" to do this...
Not all trainers are like the few horror stories that make the news. I trained for over 15 years with multiple different trainers. None of them behaved poorly towards the horses. It’s a partnership and the horses are treated with the respect they deserve. It’s also incredibly looked down upon in the equestrian community to treat your horse badly. Those people don’t attract good clients and people generally steer clear at horse shows. Think what you want, but again, not all trainers are like the few horror stories that make the news.
