Yes that’s correct. It led to horses as marionettes memes.

Oh wow.
That set up when lungeing? That’s crazy. How many horses have ligament injuries, etc from this? Wraps aren’t going to protect a horse if it freaks out with that setup on its front legs.
This is beyond sad.

I missed discussions about how this might have been behind Totilas extravagant front end. But now that you say it… and I have seen this video of this horrible lungeing rig, and the bands on the front legs… it makes sense.

Dutch Harness Horse training has been used for awhile now, including with Totillas. From what I’ve heard.

It doesn’t in general cause injuries when used correctly (although any training aid can cause injury when used incorrectly or excessively) and has been used for a very very long time in the saddleseat and gaited world but has no place in dressage (personally I don’t like it in the saddleseat world either but that’s a different thread).

What just slays me are the signs around the arena. “Respect”, “Integrity”, “Desire”, “Positive”, “Dedication”.
Talk about putting lipstick on a pig!

I have tried to save the video on my pc, to no avail. Clearly above my tech skills. If you can get to that FB page, and scroll down the posts you should see them. They are shareable so if you have a FB page I can share with you via messenger. PM me a FB address if you want.
MAYBE someone w/ better skills can figure this out… @oldernewbie, thanks!!

Interesting. Thanks for the education.
Ugh, and in that video of the horse in the front leg bungee system , there’s at least one lady drinking champagne while watching. Yes, a little day drinking layered over a trainer wrecking a horse seems like a lovely way to spend the afternoon… /s

I hope the assistants, owners, riders, and bystanders who are identified in these videos also catch a good bit of the blowback. Because they deserve it.

The question was who was the man in the pink shirt. The 2 Germans were already identified.
Cesar no longer has a NJ facility and the facility in that video was sold back in the spring.
Adam posted that 3 horses left and so far the other clients are staying…Cesar told them Adam made up the video using AI technology.

But there are so many videos. Is the story that they were all made up with AI technology?
C’mon.
