I think there's a horse eating monster around somewhere. Certainly those big guys are a wee bit hesitant, but the driver is being very, very patient. From the sound of it, it's pretty windy.
...and then the horses decide they're going somewhere that was clearly not the intent of the driver, scattering attendants in their wake. Not a fun situation at all. The outrider doesn't seem at all happy either.
I'm not sure this horse is enjoying their job (might be a bit boring), but this is how you do grain separation when all you have for your power is a set of hooves.
One, it's not a "red" or chestnut horse. It's a bay horse.
Friesians have to be black or they cannot be registered. Most Friesians are "self" meaning they neither have nor can carry the agouti gene that makes a horse bay. So, if this horse is bay (the lightning is bad - he could be a very faded black) he is not pure Friesian. He does not look pure Friesian in type to me.
Oh, and he's being ridden with his head strapped to his chest and no engagement of the hindquarters. Ride the right end of the horse, people. Rev that engine. I can also hear my instructor screaming heels down...oh, better yet? She's crooked. I think her stirrups are crooked not her saddle, but...
Not a bad horse, but I doubt he's a Friesian (most likely he's a Friesian Sport Horse - probably a Friesian/TB cross).
She's an instructor, too...
...an instructor who can't, on her website, spell "canter." I wish FHOTD was still around, she'd love this woman...
I love it. Especially the S shield on her hat. The horse seems so relaxed and unlike some reining videos I've seen she's not riding with English contact in a leverage bit...
