Many websites offer video clips that illustrate the beauty and movement of horses. The following clip shows one aspect of the CHARACTER of the Caspian Horse. The courage and trust shown is quite amazing. The situation is a new one for the horse. The barn, which he is used to, has been totally taken over as a shipping facility for plants. The entire floor area, including most of the stalls, is filled with plants in tall paper or fabric sleeves. There is a tractor trailer at each end of the barn with a refrigerator unit cycling on and off. There are 6 golf carts with noisy trailers behind them running to and fro to bring more plants from the field. There are more than a dozen people carrying plants to the semi trailers. The whole scene is noisy and chaotic. The horse has never been in this situation before. The child that you will see handling him is a good horsewoman but rarely handles this horse. We asked her to take the horse right through the middle of this barn turned warehouse to demonstrate the character of the horse. There were no practice runs and no retakes. We did edit out a small spook that happened when one worker actually hit the horse in the face with a plant.
