Bridleless Western pleasure (by jandavis21)

headset isnt natural..? without a bridle this horse in almost smelling the ground

Ok so hopefully I wont get shit for saying this but I find the walk and canter extremely strange, I thought it was walking before I realised it was trotting and the   canter was oh-so-close to four beats.  I mean the horse is beautiful and the headset seems fine to me, It’s just I have never seen a horse move like that in the field, if my horse was moving like that I would think something was wrong. Also it seems, and I thought this for a lot of western horses, on it’s forehand. 
Before someone snaps my head off and takes this the wrong way I am simply saying this as I don’t know anything about western and would like to be better educated.  Is this the natural movement for this horses breed type?  I can’t figure out what breed it is, I want to say QH - I am rubbish with breeds - but that will be a generalisation.

i know this sounds really harsh and weird but its canter looks like something a horse would do as its about to just collapse in agony

I totally agree, not trying to be rude at all but it does look very un-natural. The horse almost looks like an old man? If you get me…
