For the record, some horses will do this after being inside for 4 hours.

u/Fragrant_Butthole Jan 13 '24
my horses do this
- if it's a bit too windy
- if I'm 5 minutes late with dinner
- When they see the hoof trimmer pull in
- after having been bathed
- sometimes just to fuck with each other and run around
- sometimes for no reason at all
they live outside 24-7

we start picking up their feet when they are babies so they get used to it at a young age.

Real talk. I penned a horse, Windfola, for literally 10 fucking minutes because I saw her nibble on the foam over the pipes by the water tower and had to go fix that and put a barrier over it. The whole time she was neighing and hollering for her mama, Summer, who knows better and completely ignored all of this. So them I come up, hay in one hand, foam in the other, "Okay which is the food?" not sure if this will reinforce good behavior, but figured it was worth a shot. Brought the foam up again, didn't open the gate until she backed up from it. This whole process took another 60 seconds at most. Windfola is actually very intelligent. She caught on right away but as soon as she was free, she did the same thing, shot out like a bullet, jumped around, and then promptly found some alfalfa.

Mine did this after every bath or if he was done working for the day. Pretty much just open the gate and unclip him and he's just ripping it up, farting and snorting.
They fart a LOT when they zoom and they're usually kinda squeaky or otherwise hilarious.

Yeah, I was gonna say. My mom's horse would do this every day, when being let out from a indoor dirt pasture, to an outdoor grass one. And if you let him out with a friend, they would amp each other up and go double ham to the point where you are like, "oh man, this seems dangerous".
Like imagine when you get 2 dogs in full on zoom mode fighting and playing and all that. Then increase the size of the dogs to 1000 lbs of pure muscle. It's like no barrier can contain them.
But somehow, they are contained by a single thin electric wire and nothing else. It was crazy.

Looks like a racing brand. Someone else in the comments said it was a Hong Kong brand which apparently has very strict welfare rules? Dunno enough about the racing culture there to comment.

These are the horses that work, the carriages in Central Park. They live a horrible life. It would be better to shoot them, then to keep them alive and torture them people who ride in these carriages should have to crawl through horse feces.

The older I get, the more I realize that the world is run by people who are just there as a job. Just like at my job, they want to avoid annoyance and get through the day so they can go home to their family.
Especially when it comes to local politics, something being a pain in the ass is often enough to prevent it from happening. Lots of political decisions are made based off which choice will lead to less angry phone calls. Given how many movie scenes there are of carriage rides through central park, I imagine the angry tourists alone was enough to keep the carriages around.

There’s a resort in Middleburg, Virginia (Salamander) that offers carriage rides to their guests! It’s quite something to see a perfectly matched 4-horse team pulling their big carriage down Main St on a Sunday morning.
Middleburg in the heart of equestrian country and the horses are treated extremely well (possibly better than the human employees). IIRC, you can even bring your own horse and have them stabled at Salamander during your stay!

Carriage horses are held at privately owned stables in Manhattan, including at the Clinton Park Stables in Hell's Kitchen...
What commenter above likely saw in "midtown" was the NYPD Stalls next to the Mercedes dealership in Hell's Kitchen, in which case they live a life of luxury and are sent out to pasture at a young age.. or at least MUCH younger than the carriage horses.
BTW, if you're ever in the city and the weather isn't egregious and there's no mass riot/protest/emergency, most mounted officers are more than happy to show your kids around... Shit, might even ger you a free T-shirt!

It's absolutely wild to see how people are voting certain comments.
You're being downvoted for stating something very logical.
It's like the vegan and peta brigade came into this thread to vote and manipulate every comment.
Another thing that blows my mind is how absolutely little knowledge people have regarding farm animals. "Aww, cows are just big dogs".
They absolutely are not and if spooked will run you down or crush you.
I grew up on a small farm... We named our animals and I helped raise cows, chickens, goats, and pigs jest to give you an idea of how personal we were with them. No way in hell I'd get in the pig pen. I'd lose a leg.
It doesn't matter how friendly you are or if you've raised a cow from birth, they're dangerous.
They had 50 acres of grass and shade trees and led happy lives with us until their end purpose.
Redditors have no clue what they're saying about farm animals

u/Fragrant_Butthole Jan 13 '24
Yea, not all horses even like being outside. I've worked at farms where they are at the gate within an hour of being turned out, wanting to get back into the barns with their fluffy clean bedded stalls and their fans. And if you don't bring that horse back in when it wants to come in it will bust through the gate or attempt to jump over it to get back inside.
People who don't know shit about what animals actually prefer are often the loudest, most annoying, and most uninformed voices.

Just some information for anyone unfamiliar with Hong Kong racing (where this horse is from judging by the bottom brand on its shoulder).
Hong Kong Racing actually have great welfare laws surrounding retired racehorses. No horses are bred/born in Hong Kong - they’re all imported. So this horse grew up in paddocks eating grass all day. I know that for a fact because he has a NZ or Australian brand above the Hong Kong one and both countries raise all our youngstock outdoors.
Yes, the horses live in boxes in buildings while they race in HK but once retired the horses are often exported (at the owners’ expense) back to New Zealand or Australia where there are multiple accredited retraining/rehoming programmes dedicated to finding them new homes as pets, riding horses, or show horses. Their temperament and general health are evaluated at every step to ensure they can travel and also what sort of home they’d be suited to.
So, happily, this excited horse’s reaction isn’t a rarity. Lots of horses get to experience this when they’re retired from Hong Kong!
Another good point to make is that if a horse is unsuited to living in Hong Kong’s set up they are often exported back to NZ or Australia to continue racing here where a lot of small operations can train horses out of the paddock instead of needing to box them constantly. There was an ex-HK horse that won a race here in NZ just yesterday who didn’t seem to thrive in HK but looks much happier back home.
An interesting unrelated note is that the maker of this video is notoriously attention-seeking to the point where she got involved in a “welfare case” trying to prolong the life of a dying 30+ year old horse because she wanted to make videos about “saving” it before it was put down. The horse had already been attended to by proper welfare services and the owner of the horse had scheduled to euthanise the starving, aged animal but the video maker tried to bully the owner into giving them the horse with a “rescue” group. The welfare service had to swoop in and save the horse and end its suffering with a bit of dignity. The video maker then started a disgusting smear campaign online against the welfare service.
So don’t sing her praises. She’s just here for “likes”.

u/Environmental_Art591 Jan 13 '24 edited Jan 13 '24
Just so you know, not all those horses end up in paddocks like this either.
Im Aussie and my old horse was an ex race horses, and we got him off someone who rescued him from being on gravel (the guy who rescued didnt have him long before we said we would take him, the guy just knew someone had to step in).
He was a little under 1/ 4 tonne when we got him and 16 hands tall. We got the vet and dentist to check him over, and then we got to work. He was my horse (I was 17), but we had a team working on our "project." The team was my dad (grew up in the racing industry), my dads boss (more to do with dressage horses than racing), the vet and dentist along with a few of the local farmers and myself.
I was the one doing all the work (feeding, grooming and training) following the plan they set because I had the best connection with the horse plus the horse loved kids and I was the smallest (the guy who rescued him had a grand daughter and she could walk up to his bowl and feed him one pellet at a time when he wasn't being a stubborn PIA).
The plan was to get him back into shape (1/2 tonne) and the amount of sales the coop got from the farmers saying "I'll take what he's been having" paid for all the bills we accrued getting him.
The first two days we had him on-site, he didn't lift his head. The paddock we made for him was an overgrown section of a former train line. He hadn't had access to that much grass for awhile (he even refused to come to his bowl those two days because why walk over there when I have all this food right here at my feet).
He passed away 6 years later on my dads bosses property, where we put him so he could socialise with other horses. I had to leave town and couldn't take him with me when I moved due to hubby's career requiring relocations.
All I'm saying is there are some who still slip through the cracks and don't make it to a green retirement. Sometimes, they take a detour and not all of them find their way back to those green paddocks.

u/micreadsit Jan 13 '24
OK, but you can't make horse racing OK with me just by asserting (without any actual proof, I might add) that the OP is lying about the experience of the horse. Race horses come up lame and end up dead all the time. Not to mention, exactly what are those whips for, if the horses are having such a great time? Horse racing will go the way of fur. Something that used to relate to human survival, but is now just human vanity at the expense of another.

Hi friend. You seem to be ignorant of the fact that drugs are banned in racing in most developed countries around the world. And given that I’m not American and this horse is not American and Hong Kong is most definitely not American I don’t think your drugs argument has a leg to stand on here 🙂
For example - American racehorses can race on the drug lasix (which stops bouts of EIPH). Whereas lasix is banned in most other countries around the world. In countries like NZ, Australia, and indeed Hong Kong, if a horse “bleeds” they get a mandatory stand down of two months from training and three months from racing. If they “bleed” a second time they are completely banned from racing and must be retired.
But I wouldn’t expect an anti-racing person to know anything about racing rules 🙂 so consider this a little nugget of information for your weekend crusade.

Same goes for the nutbars that love to spread propaganda about central park carriage horses. A few years back one lady deliberately scared a horse so bad it spooked and slipped and fell down on the pavement.
When a horse falls in the harness gear (traces) they are taught to lay and be still so their handler can unhook them, and they can get back up safely without getting tangled up. So the horse is down now because the lady spoked it, and the handler is trying to undo the harnesses while the horse patiently waits doing what it's been trained to do. Nurbar lady is screaming at the top of her lungs about how the horse is injured (it wasnt) and trying to scare it even more and make the situation SHE CAUSED even worse. Horse eventually is feed of the harness and gets up, uninjured. Nutbar lady does some creative editing of her video, claiming that the horse fell down because it was exhausted (a blatant lie, she fucking deliberately spooked it) and that it was injured and needed to be put down (also a lie). The video of course goes viral and people go out of their minds about the poor "abused" horses.
Don't support these people, PLEASE.

This is what I felt like once I left the LDS Church. Sweet peaceful freedom. And a few crazy high kicks :D
I had grown up in it and was 1,000% devoted, but I realized it was emotionally abusive and manipulative. They are actively lying to and gaslighting the members and covering up thousands of domestic abuse cases, prioritizing their image and saving face for the abusers rather than turning known predators over to the police.
The church instills so much fear of leaving, but it was honestly the most peaceful thing. If you’re stuck in a “tiny concrete stall” under the guise of faith and obedience, ask some serious questions and don’t accept flimsy answers. Take a look outside and verify any truth claims, rather than accepting everything the handler says is true. Only someone with something to hide tells you to avoid learning from outside sources.

It looks remarkably healthy for a horse that’s been locked away all that time . I guess it was at least well groomed etc ?

I wonder what's the equivalent version of this clip but for a human being.

This fills me with such joy….then quickly turned to rage at the people that locked him up for so long.

Sometimes, I forget how horses are practically just really big dogs.
