Makes one wonder and transport to those days. Wow, incredible high resolution for the period. One can even describe this footage as emotional. Thanks for sharing. :D

The video came from pedigree researcher Rosana Rivera via Sid Fernando's blog.

It preserves a wonderful moment in history.

watching stallion behavior like this, I often wonder: Why jog around the handler shaking your head and fussing? If you really want to be free, make a break for it and/or knock the guy down! What stops them from doing this? Fear of punishment? Mercy? Stupidity? Or is all the fussing just communication?

Not only id the resolution inredible but the color is the best I have ever seen in a 1950 video.

Great video. He was a beautiful mover. I love the old horse box. I thought the only trucks that were painted orange belonged to the VA Department of Transportation. I guess the Hancocks were color blind.

That was so much fun to watch. Thank you so much for posting and sharing. I never IMO saw him being overly aggressive just showing his handlers that he was the "Man".

Great video! I loved the 1950 horse van, and the fact that the handler was wearing a suit. :)

Thanks, it's great to see Nasrullah. Seems to me his body is well built, everything is good in proportion. Great quality movie also in my opinion.
