It isn't confusing to the horse. The handler is pulling and poking him to let the horse know to move his feet so he can square up to be judged. The horse knows what it means. Anybody that shows halter horses does things like that to get their horse in proper position to be judged.

ROFL...umm...I have been around horses over 50 years, and, this guy is a moron. What he is doing is stupid, and, dangerous. The way he is acting, and I have seen this before, tells me this man is afraid of the horse...he may not have handled many stallions...he is very lucky the horse didn't squash him flat. Thankfully, Clydes have calm natures...otherwise, this man would have been hurt badly for behaving so stupidly with this animal.

A bit hard to tell from the video but I don't think the horse is docked - I think his tail is certainly shortened (but not cut through the bone) and is just tied up as is traditionally done when the horse is actually in harness. I may be wrong. Isn't docking illegal? I'm sure it is where I live.

shows how much you know about horses, the tails are docked to keep the horses from getting them tangled up in the traces when they are hooked up to pull, if they didn't dock the tails the tail could end up tangled and yanked out. Horses that are not shown, do not have their tails docked, horses that are shown are sprayed daily with fly spray. So they do not have to worry about flies bothering them.

Clydesdales are an old breed that comes from the north of England. They were widely used for all farm work but apart form the odd place in UK are only kept for show now. Their trade mark is the flashy white stockings and blaze. Lovely, gentle creatures. During the WW2 when my mum was a land girl she looked after one called Model, and Model taught my mum to plough she was that gentle. Also the farm cat had her kittens in the stable and they would run up Model's feathery legs and never minded.

Ellen K Actually measuring in hands goes way back in history when rulers weren't around. The term hand was the average width of a mans hand, . everybody has a hand. The 4 inch size came later when they set up measuring standards. So once you get by your "irratation" at the measurement it makes sense. But you have to know the history of it.

There has been many times when working my horses that if they had long tails I would have been in trouble, it is not the length of the hair it is the length of the dock that causes the problem with reins, swingle trees etc. I have seen undocked horses with sore docks while working. It does not harm the horse to be docked and when the tail is out you can't tell if it is docked or not. So I cannot see how it would affect pleasure riding execpt for personal preference.

@sunshine777888 - A HAND is 4 inches and 5 feet equals 15 hands (a common size for saddle horses and the old cavalry standard - minimum). Six feet equals eighteen hands and this horse MIGHT be that tall. Speculating a lot but that man doesn't seem to have the body type of a really tall guy. They are measured at the withers - fairly distinctive in this horse - the transition from the neck to the back. 17 1/2 - 18 hands is a fair guess based on the assumption that the handler is 6'.

He used to ride them over the fields to the local blacksmith.

The stick is called a showing came and is used to prevent the horse from rushing in to you and to help direct. You can get solid colour clydesdales but I think he might be a grey roan. One thing I will say though is that the handles does look afraid which is not good and also he was turning the horse toward him when you should turn them away from you to reduce the risk of the horse standing on you and also a judge wants to see the horse not the handler.
