I hated the way the guy kept making the horse turn so suddenly and
sharply -- seemed kinda extreme and rude to the horse.
That's sort of a stock horse "thing". This horse really does it pretty
nicely and the rider is tactful with his rein handling. Some horses learn
to do this with the very minimum of rein contact and act like they enjoy it.
Maybe to them it's a little like pasture play. I had a 16 h hunter that
could turn on the rail and also slide like a stock horse, using an English
saddle and a snaffle bit.
