Inspired by the video of Wonderful I shared yesterday, here are some additional videos of stallions from various State Studs for your inspiration.

All of these videos are excellent visuals, demonstrating forward moving horses, and using outdoor schooling.

1999 Hanoverian Stallion. Look at the walk, it's always good to see a performance horse whose walk has not become lateralized. Add that to your memory bank.

In looking around, there seems a great wealth of images and video, articles and books, media and marketing; all of which demonstrating the use of the horse for human gain and purposes. The focus, the mindset, the intent is control and consumption of the horse – we ride, we travel, we tour, we compete, we battle, we seek to impress.
