Born on a farm & I trusted horses long before I trusted people - actually that hasn't changed 🐎 🐎 🐎 🏇 🏇 Thanks for this doc

My Daughter is 12 and has been riding for just over a year now , i think she will find this snippet into the past most interesting ! Thanks David.

I have had the absolute incredible gift of having a horse if my own. I loved him so much and had him for 26 yrs. he died at 37. A beautiful Arab and a wonderful gentle friend. I survived many accidents as a small a quick little steed he put up with my poor riding at first. God did create a wonderful animal and He was well pleased by his creation.

I spent 30 years riding/training/competing horses and, while I’m an old fart and don’t any more, this sure took me back to a life I loved. The collaboration between a horse and a rider it trusts is one like no other... I didn’t realize how much I missed it. Thank you David 💗

I never appreciated the extent to which the horses seem genuinely “pumped” when they nail a jump and are clearly energized by the crowd’s reaction.

I am forever grateful for my parents allowing me to have a horse to show growing up. It was the best therapy especially going through my teens, lol. They are such loyal beautiful creatures. Thank you for this video.

Always tuck and roll when the unexpected dismount happens 👍 Nice to see George Morris in his younger days.

I remember this film. It's a great reminder of how much modern Olympic competition has gone downhill, especially in dressage. The jumpers are wearing a lot less hardware too.

God gave horses souls so they could develop close relationships with human. The outside of a horse is good for the inside of a person mind ,body, spirit

I discovered eventing in 1983 and this documentary was a big part of it. I was lucky enough to attend the 1984 Olympics and those are some of the best memories of my life. Went on to become a certified veterinary technician and worked in an Equine surgical hospital for many years. Dreams came true!

The famous Beezie Madden will always be my favorite rider when it comes to eventing and our U.S. Equestrian riders.

Such a beautiful story! I bet if she's still with us, she still smiles when she thinks about it. Thank you SO MUCH for sharing!

I miss you, Skip~ Thank-you for making the memories great during some pretty turbulent times.... Always in my ~Heart~ ✨🌤☁️✨ ✨🌳🌳🐎🌾✨

Mrs. Waltrip I guess we’re both pretty lucky, huh? It’s great to meet you-very cool.... ✨🤗🌳🌳🐎🌾🤗✨

OMG the greats, William Steinkrais, George Morris... wow, so neat to see and hear their same methods/beliefs and their same voices as I’ve heard for decades. True horsemen from the roots up. To this day George gives lessons and loves to get on his students’ horses to demonstrate what he’s imparting to them. Wonderful. Thanks for posting this.

They make it too hard!!! Amazing at 15:20 the Rider Walks off the Beautiful Horse.

I ❤ horses thank you for sharing David your awesome 😘

Great Story Mr. Hoffman. We need films based on such happenings from Hollywood. You told this so nicely that I wish I could see a movie based on it. Thanks Sir.

An awesome work. I was particularly amazed by the rider that was revived after the rotational fall, especially in light of how many riders die

We fall, but don't know how to stay down. We get back on. Horses are our lives. To be without a horse, life is empty. ❤

2 yrs later thanks

It is so interesting to compare our sport then and now!

Even Hitchens appreciated the poetry of the Quran. The intro was a nice example I had never heard.

Since I was a small boy I have ALWAYS thought of Horse's as The Ballerina's of The Animal World. So Large and yet so Graceful. Another wonderful Documentary Mr. Hoffman. I'm grateful I did not have to endure the Saddle Aches and Pain while watching!.....LOL.....Cheers From Ohio To All

Oh, I remember those days

7:21 I can almost feel what she is talking about. Her expression of exitement in her story. Very interesting how through stories one can shared and almost experiencing the reality of the story. "Its like being shot out of a canon." Wow... feel that. Gin,

Thank you, Mr.David I have a deep respect for those who are keeping American Horses Alive.!! Combination of two creatures one is a Ride the other is a Rider based on 6 legs 4 legs of the Horse moves and Run yet 2 control and find a balance with a light touch without moving or running human legs.!! Equally loved by man woman boy or girl old or young color of the horse doesn't or never matters connection between the Beating Heart of the Horse and Human Does.!! Conquered the world by just one human kick and sound of the tap of that Horse can create a vibration powerful enough can crumble mountains turn Earth into a DUST.!!~~ Peace and Love.!! Magnificent compassionate loving Horse when it connects with Human Heart can turn into a loving or killing vicious Creature.get it's legs sliced cut to protect that Human Rider.!! Oceans' vicious waves powered by Wind have swallowed Horses, water drag Horses into the bottom of the Oceans.!! Horses love to ride on the shorelines Yet remain uncomfortable with the sound of that Ocean's Stormy Screaming vicious Water ..!! Creator.!! of all creation and Creatures of this planet Earth knows it All..!! There is a Horse has a Heart yet Beats in that Horse's Rider's Heart Rider's Heartbeats in that Horse's Heart.!! Flies against the Wind have Eagle's Eyes surrounded by the pack of Wolves on its top speed truns into a Blue Flame.!! find it's on Balance.!! Requires no Fire Burns everything down to the Ground turns Dust into Ashes and then Burns again..!! Until the Next Command.!! That is My Horse.!!

Cool Dave

Can u share my channel 😭

Whoever set the course fences everyone was struggling with, did not walk it out right. It's off natural pace.

must look 2 times, so good, i always took the tired horse for tourists ;-*)

I LOVE HORSES!!!

Sorry I am binge watching. I love horses and the races . I like gambling especially on horse races as you have a far better chance with odds as compared to lottery. I used to go with my father to the betting shop after my father visited his elderly patients (no car aircon in those days and my father would leave me in the car for up to an hour.) I always joked that our parents brought us up using Darwinism. My brother became a veterinarian doctor and told us how they breed race horses and other such horses where heritage is important. Thanks again.

"His mother was a mudder!"...

Funny I just watched one of my car channels and said I will get a horse instead of a car 😉 .... I always thought horses are very magical ♥️👍🏻🙏🏻

GODs master piece. Look in their eyes, you see the spirit of GOD. God graced me with these magical creatures. Only a true horse person knows this magic. ❤

👍

Extreme Makeover? Awsome program. 100 horses for 100 days is a general documentary.
