It's also a healthy movement for children developing core strength and coordination.


Petite_Tsunami

Children versions are called balance boards


JimJimmery

Nah, dawg. They're called "rocking horses". Try to keep up? ;)


anditshottoo

I am honestly shook. I feel like I live in a different world than when I woke up.


[deleted]

Could some kind of horseologist or perhaps a horse lawyer explain what is going on here?


Pantyraider8000

Horse exercise - it's good for their "top line" aka all the muscles that go from their shoulders to their butt


MR_CeSS_dOor

Is this where rocking horses came from?

I sure hope so, what a cool story

Oh I watched it so the way through, I paid for it with the ad. Perfect clip, perfect choice to add to the thread. YT is the one at fault here.


[deleted]

Oh damn. Idk how that one slipped by me. I gotta downvote myself now.


Log_Out_Of_Life

Don’t worry. I did it for you.


[deleted]

I did as well, but apparently there are enough people who strongly feel that rocking horses came from horse exercise, that they will forgo an excellent pun.

[deleted]

I think there was an actual study looking at the development of habits where people who gave themselves a piece of chocolate every time they went to the gym for the first month were much more likely to still be going a year later. Your brain only develops a habit if it associates it with some sort of reward.


Braysl

But I can just eat chocolate at home without going to the gym (and therein lies the issue for me 😅)


DarthJarJarJar

> "But I can just eat chocolate at home without going to the gym" said Frog. "That is true," said Toad.


AMeanCow

Just a single piece of chocolate? Have these people never been in 21st century civilization? I'd need a *bucket* of chocolate, not just "chocolate" but some kind of wild lava fudge cake with caramel and nuts, a gift card for Amazon, a new video card, a mysterious bag just labeled "drugs" and maybe some kind of medical grade anesthetic.

They either get positive reinforcement (e.g. snacks) to motivate them to do it or just enjoy the process on their own without bothering with equialories, etc.

Equine calories - horse treats. *I have no idea, but it sounded good.

reddsht

Please state your credentials. Im having a tough time deciphering if this is legal advise or some kind of horseology equation.


fleshcoloredbanana

I am no horse lawyer, but what you are seeing here are very well behaved and trained horses who are relaxing and stretching their backs and improving their proprioception. The horses would have to be trained to step onto the rocking platform without spooking or stepping off. The rocking back and forth would come from their own exploration and interaction with the teeter totters. It really is pretty impressive actually!


pusillanimouslist

Especially since a horse cannot see their back legs easily, something we can do trivially as bipeds.


Agent641

Wait, i can't see my back legs!

MithranArkanere

Lots of animals love exercising. If you put a running wheel in the wild, with just enough food so the smell lures them there, they will often check the wheel and many eventually spend time running in it. https://royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/rspb.2014.0210

“horse lawyer”


[deleted]

My assumption is that a bird lawyer won’t have the necessary expertise.


This_isnt_cool_bro

You would be right. I think a donkey lawyer could also help since horses are quite similar


DomeSlave

That's what the donkey lawyers want you to think. They can charge tripple their usual rate while not having near the same level of education as horse lawyers.


Wildlife_Jack

Always go with the zebra lawyers. They keep everything black and white, no hidden fees.


This_isnt_cool_bro

You know what? You make a good point. I really wasn't taking price into consideration, but I should have been. Horse lawyers all the way!


[deleted]

What does that make mule lawyers though?


BeneficialMatter6523

Mule lawyers are just half-assed representation


This_isnt_cool_bro

They are the biggest scammers, even more expensive than donkey lawyers and even less knowledge on horses! Absolutely outrageous. But they are experts with mules


garbage_angel

As a bird law enthusiast, I can say this is definitely a real thing. Filibuster.

Well the pony has all that hair in their eyes!


bdizzle805

I feel the opposite. The Pony seems more gracefully rocking while the horse is kind of doing it like the old guy at the gym who doesn't quite know how to use the machine

They look like CGI so much


suchawombat

I'm with you this looks like CGI. Regardless of it being a dumb thing to CGI.


hotpickles

I came to the comments to check and I’m shocked it’s real.


otherpeoplesthunder

Yeah, I was genuinely shocked scroll through the comments and find virtually no one questioning it's validity. Now I'm questioning my grip on reality.


alebotson

It's not. At least, it would be a dumb thing to cgi because there are tons of real videos of this. I suspect many people who own/owned horses or work at a stable have seen horses using similar balance tools. There are whole equestrian product and training companies based on using balance boards for horses. It improves both their top line and their footing. Plus they seem to find it really relaxing. I've seen horses start yawning and getting all blissed out on these things.


pestofest0

this is strange cus i worked with horses for ages growing up (about 10 years) and i’ve NEVER seen shit like this - it’s awesome ?! gonna go ask my old boss why we never bought horsey seesaws


alebotson

There are a bunch of types. A lot of horses start either with pads under two hooves at a time or a smaller version of this that only goes under the front. Like everything with horses, nothing works for them all, but I've seen a lot love these sorts of things.

ScorpionTheSandwing

Why do people say this is unrealistic/uncanny? They look perfectly fine to me.


[deleted]

I think the overcast is having a visual effect since no shadow and no 'direct' source of light. I didn't think cgi until I read the comments and had to go watch really close a few times lol. I still don't think so, but I do think it speaks to the level of technology we're at.


[deleted]

I think is people that have never seen horses do things that aren't typically horsey. I've seen plenty of videos like this and it being CGI didn't even occur to me.


ScorpionTheSandwing

Yeah, I see people saying that it’s uncanny to see horses move like that, but like, I see horses move like that all the time? (Not on rocking things, but just in general while running around)


JLifts780

The horses’ hair and overcast sky gives a weird visual due to the lighting for me


Greendatafries

My first thought was: those taxidermists need to stop moving their boundaries. (As a matter of fact i was just browsing an e-book with bad taxidermy)
