It's endlessly fascinating to me that people react to it in the same way as the horses. You have the horses being like «yeah thats vaguely horse-like, im gonna treat it like a horse i guess» and people being like «yeah that's definitely three people in a horse costume, im gonna treat it like a horse i guess»

I know these police horses are obviously exposed to a wide variety of noises & distractions to get the desensitized to the chaotic environment in which they must operate, but this was a unique situation, It’s a horse, looks somewhat like a horse, doesn’t smell like a horse, but move like a horse. I have good horses, that rarely spook at things, except chickens, have one that is deathly afraid anytime I get close to chickens or a chicken coop , but I would think , most of mine would have wanted to bolt when that thing walked out of the building. We were on a large plantation ride down south many years ago, and came up to one of the historic museums that had a beautiful oversized stature of a stallion, it was a challenge for each rider to get their horse to even walk up to the larger than life steed. Many bolted, wouldn’t get close, one of my horses, I was eventually able to get her up close, though she was noticeably nervous, One of our other horses, had the opposite behavior, he was ready to fight this thing, had to keep him from trying to bite it... He wasn’t intimidated in the least.

This STILL so absolutely Amazing that your mind can know it is a puppet but still see it as a real creature

This made me smile in a way I haven’t for a long time. Beautiful !

Doesn't take a lot of imagination to get your head into it, the puppeteering is superb.

When art meets poetry.

Wow their movement's are incredible! It's very convincing! The horse looks amazing too!

That puppet is absolutely incredible! The coordination of the puppeteers is spot on. Really appreciate the mounted police coming to visit for this special interaction.

Wow, that was awesome. They did an awesome job bringing the horse to life.

Lol, they're like "what the heck is this? It doesn't smell right" :)

I wonder how you become a full body puppeteer...

I remember the first horse I ever encountered. I was about 5 years old. The horse was pulling a cart. And I begged to be able to pet him. Still short I was about 3 foot tall. And he had to put his head way down so I could stroke his nose. I put a carrot on a flat package and he ate it and then I fed him by hand realizing he wouldn't hurt me. I'm only 4'9" and small in comparison and learned to ride a little. One horse used to actually joke with me. I never knew a horse could have humor. He knew I adored him so he was extra gentle until he decided he'd step on my foot and wouldn't back off until I asked him nicely to get off and he did. He never stood still for the bigger kids when they mounted up. But Rex knew I was smaller and had a longer way up as he was huge and he always stood still for me. He'd always lower his head for a cheek kiss.

Amazing... Both the Joey The War Horse, AND,... the 2 Mounted Horses. The puppeteers were VERY good, Very good body language,,,,,

Amazing play! I saw it back in 2012 and one of the legs fell off of baby Joey during the performance. Everyone in the Theatre started laughing and even the puppeteers froze for a moment.

I got the luckiest night of my life for my Graduation celebration. I was Homeschooled so I didn't have a big ceremony for graduation....I got to see War Horse with my parents at the Overture Center in Madison WI. Coming from a childhood of riding and owning horses, it took about 5 minutes watching Joey....and the puppeteers disappeared. It was a horse on stage, it was amazing. The time they took to watch horses move around and learn to mimic....its incredible. If I could, I'd see War Horse on stage in a heartbeat!

That was...mind blowing how well you all did seriously major props to all of you

We saw the movie of the stage production and were blown away. I've worked with Bon Raku puppeteers who acted out ballads I was singing at the Renaissance Pleasure Faires in Novato and Ventura CA. The puppeteers wore all black and kept their faces expressionless. One took the head and one arm of the life-size puppet and one took the other arm. There is a hierarchy to who does what and puppeteers study for a very long time before they are able to take part. Warhorse was astounding. I've never seen anything like it.

*later that day* Joey: you're never gonna believe it Chandler! Ross: yeah yeah, it was INCREDIBLE! Chandler: "what? what are you talking about?" Joey: We saw a hoooorse Ross: but it was magical horse! Joey: yeah yeah it was like one of those mythical creatures my grandma told me about when i was a foal!" Chandler: you sound like a fool what is this? Ross: nooo it was real Chandleeeerrrr Joey: it was...it was like an alien! it was AWESOME!" Ross: Supernatural being are real I'm telling ya Chandler: Are you on catnip or sugar again?

You know I'd love to take the time to remake something like this... But my oh my- can we talk about the bits in those horses' mouths? ;-;

This is so incredibly beautiful. I love this so much. ❤

That looks so cool u^ It's amazing how much time and effort people put into making this stuff

Every time this puppet comes into my feed i get feels... The way they built it and make it interact, it's a whole other level of artistic. I highly suggest to those of you just finding this now, look up the ted talk. Cool stuff.
