On the morning of opening night, the media got a chance to watch "Joey" meet a real, live, police horse, to take photos, and to film. This video was shared with Alabma Horse Talk by Marcie Matte of Broadway in Birmingham. Thanks, Marcie!

    Horses are much smarter than people give them credit. The horse is like...ok...stupid humans! I know it's not a real horse!

      Actually, if you knew shit you would like realise that the body language clearly shows the real horse's acceptence and respect towards Joey. They actually got on really well.

  • @elliottsmith3632

    I don't know horses, but the police horse is highly trained not to respond to different situations like this. Loud noises, crowds of people, traffic, and a lot more. At first the real horse was curious and sniffed the puppet but afterwards he didn't care.

    • @antianti328
      @antianti328 Před 6 lety +6

      Elliott Smith probably because the fake one didn't smell like a horse as well

    • @veritywilcox9960
      @veritywilcox9960 Před 5 lety

      That's where you're wrong. I know you haven't had a lot of experience with horses but if you had, you would notice the body language shows interest and curiosity. The training is called bombproofing. This means the horse will not be afraid of these situations, kick or bolt off. However, this does not mean that the horse can have feelings and emotions. They seemed to get on well and became good friends.

    1:46 Not that I'm an expert, but it is generally understood that when a horse backs up butt first toward another horse it is a sign of 'I'm going to kick you'. There are two people in there, watch what you're doing backing that thing up toward a live horse if you plan to ever do that again.

    The police horse looked really bored. Like he knew it was fake and was just looking around like " you're joking right?" Good police horse but there is to much on the poor things head. Does it really need all the straps and tie downs?

      Kathy Collins
      Don't mean to sound rude but it's called a bridle and the police officers horse has reflectors on the bridle (making it look chunky) and the bridle also has protection on it so if someone tries to shoot him in the head the bridle can protect it (in a way)

    • @kristina_gdck
      @kristina_gdck Před 6 lety +4

      I don't know what you mean. It has a regular bridle on it's head and a headcollar underneath. Very practical.

    • @FrikInCasualMode
      @FrikInCasualMode Před 6 lety +1

      'Course real horse knew it was fake. Smell and small body language signs play a big role in equine communication. You wouldn't be fooled by a puppet, right? Despite it looking (kinda) like a human, moving in a human-like(ish) way and even talking to you.

    • @AnneDalton82

      Kathy Collins Aight bud. Let's say I'm not a painter, but I go to an art show and start telling amazing artists how to do their jobs and saying their work isn't that good. You'd probably be confused and irritated, that guy doesn't paint! Why is he giving painters tips when he doesn't know anything about art?
      Well. You just did that to yourself just now, buddy. That horse's attire was entirely practical. Most horses used on duty like that have a check reign, even. That horse hardly has any 'straps', just a simple bridle on.

    • @veritywilcox9960

      @@L.C123 First of all, there's a bit. That is already abusive by itself. It's unnecessary and you can literally just use a hackamore. Second of all, the martingale. That's pretty much a tie down. I too don't mean to sound rude. But quite honestly, it's possible to go tackless.

    Mmmm... I only saw bad comments (? (sorry for the bad English). But if someone looked "War horse" the film(a very good film :3). The horse they used was that one... In some scenes and some horses really get confused (it's truth that sometimes they know its not real).

    I’m glad the white horse knows the other horse was not real. If I read some comments here, it looks to me that some people didn’t know that the other house was not real, although it behaves unnaturally slow and also has 8 legs. I also think it was a creepy introduction. It’s like an android (current development status) meets a real human.

    @sharonnahwegahbow276 Před 6 lety +1

    as well as they do it, they need to watch real horses being led around more often. they hind end is off just enough to make it look odd but the rest are pretty good. My horses would have vacated the immediate area if they saw that coming and they get buzzed by helicopters and airplanes lol I really do like the idea and the work put into this horse is just wonderful. Remember, hind foot lands in front foot print when they w/t/c. keep up the good work.

    • @blaiddthewolf8532
      @blaiddthewolf8532 Před 6 lety

      Sharon Nahwegahbow its really impressive though considering the puppeteers aren’t talking at all, the hind has to follow all the hearts movements as the mind and heart are improving. It really is beautiful isn’t it? I agree it’s so amazing.

    The police horse was interested. He has been so well trained as to not move anyway. Like a buckingham palace guard. He has to see all sorts of stuff and not be reactive.
