Beautiful girl, though that guy looks like he deserves a good bite! D:<

Sad to hear he was treating her so. She's a good looking horse. Clyedales are the coolest. Guess that's why I made one of my characters part Clydesdale. I'm so thankful to have been able to see the Bud Clydesdale team in RL once. That was an awesome day. Anyways.... nice pic.

I personally hate most in-hand showing of hitch horses just slightly less than I hate the driving and under saddle showing of hitch horses. Lol!

If anybody smacked my horses under the chin with a stick, they would rapidly find me smacking them under the chin with a much larger stick ;)

Clydes are great.

She reared twice when he yanked on that chain which is under her chin. Chains should only be used by those who have the experience and knowledge in using them, otherwise you can cause serious damage (broken chin bone and so forth).

I've shown Clydes, Shires, Arabians and QH's in-hand which I've very rarely had to use a chain. A light tap on the leg with a riding crop is usually enough to get their attention. Some owners feel that they need to jerk, yank, and bully younger horses when this isn't the case at all.

I've shown Arab colts, roughly a 1yr old (yearling) with no chain, and just a light tap with a riding crop and then soft speaking to them.

But yeah this guy had no clue what he was doing x.x
