saracenrunaway:wynafryd-manderly:kvothe-kingkiller:scarlettjane22:just wow…fun fact! while that move is mainly for show now, it originated from when we used horses in wars and battles so they trained the horses to do this and absolutely obliterate anyone behind them(yes that means someone would be on the horse while it does this)The gif is of a horse at Bolsover Castle which was once owned by William Cavendish - often considered the ‘father’ of modern dressage. In the displays there is usually a rider, but I think I recognise the horse as being one I saw that was in the process of being trained a few years ago - hence no rider (could be wrong though)The first gif is Sebastian from Atkinson Action Horses in the UK! He was still learning, but his capriole has gotten much better. You can see their other stunts on Ben’s Instagram @ben_actionhorses -- source link
