Two of the riders are using a style of riding where they keep the horses head tucked close, this leads to a prancing type gait. It's on purpose. The horses themselves seem calm but I'm not really a fan of the style.
I can’t say for sure, but you can train a horse to do that. It’s probably not “happy” but it’s not necessarily “distressed” either. Just doing what it was trained to do.
Tbf, I didn’t watch the videodsue to the Facebook link but I have seen horses prance. So I guess take my answer with a grain of salt.
