Rider needs to lower her stirrups and let go of the reins. How is a horse suppose to enjoy a halt if there is no release of bit and rein pressure. He’s obviously standing still so she needs to let those reins loose.
The Horse doesnt find any comfort zone to relax, because auf the rein pressure. i totally agree.
dude no she duznt she is holdin the reins really loosely actually! ur supposed to hold them a lot tighter… i dont think she needs more training!
stupid women take ur spurs off , they achieve nothing but hurt ur horse there is other ways to disipline without digging fucking pieces of metal into the horses belly, how can this video be about balance , when the riders toes are pointing to the skie , its like trying to walk on ur heels , u have no balance , u should have ur foot flat so u can distribute ur weight evenly , and stop yanking on the poor horses mouth , he’s doin nothing wrong u wanker
Okay, first off. Spurs do not hurt you horse unless you don’t use them properly. People that wear spurs lightly touch the horses sides, and just don’t “dig” them into their bellies. Obviously you don’t know how to ride because you’re supposed to keep your heels down while riding. She wasn’t yanking on the horses mouth either, she was trying to keep his head level and still.
Nice Nice Video. I really loved your video. Youtube can be a great asset for you. If you need any help getting your video exposed, check out this site called tubeviews [dot net] It has really done wonders for me, I have built 3 Channels up with videos at top in position and this is my forth channel i’m going to working on.
Your Video Was put together perfect
yeh , this is westen riding
innit
i do english riding
random
okay people she isnt yanking on the horses mouth for know reason. she is softening his mouth so that he will be more relaxed as shhe rides him, and if you dont know what your talking about dont say anything
fuck off she isnt yamking on his mouth , softening his mouth , wat fucking shit are u smoking , u are a complete fuck wit if anything she is going to make him hard mouthed and fuck the horse up , if u had a piece of metal in ur mouth and someone was pulling on it would u fuckin relax , NO u would tell them to fuck off , same as a horse
your supposed to tap your horse with the spurs. lightly. if they dont respond, a little harder, until they do respond. and unless you use really really sharp pointy spurs and jab them with it you will not hurt the horse, they are way tougher than you give them credit for.
your angry attitude makes you the last person to be talking about horses.
First – she is not yanking. she is flexing the horse at the poll and she relaxes when the horse gives his head
Second – the toes pointing up are a necessity. You dont want to keep your feet flat. thats is plain wrong. I dont know who taught you that, please change instructor.
Third – the spurs are used to increase communication, not to jab the horse. and one of the reasons why your heels must stay down is to avoid accidentally jabbing the horse (apart from balance reasons). Please learn how to take advise or accept other people’s view. If you are so bitter on Youtube, I cannot imagine what you are like around horses. Ciao and peace.
Apparently you have no clue about horse and what is good/not good for them. My suggestion would be NOT to comment unless you know your subject. Try using proper english as well, this is a learning site, not a “brawl” sessioin…clean up the lanuage!
Very well explained…needed a brush up, thx!
I do agree with tallyfolly half way. I do agree with her on your hfoot should not be flat is should be somewhat pointed and the other thing about spurs. I do not agree with her about the whole you need a new instructor thing.
So, this is more about horse balance and body mechanics — not the rider. Nothing has been said about the rider and his/her posture, or how the rider should be in the saddle. This is hardly what I would call beginning riding instruction.
Try the one that says ‘Rider position” etc, it is very helpful, and all about posture, it is by the same person
she tells you to “take control of the inside shoulder” but she doesn’t explain how to do that.
What does ‘leg on’ mean i took my horse out for my first hack out of the school he kept like tripping up, i was told to keep my leg on, i was i felt tight on him calf wise and giving him prompts to keep going, what was wrong???
Keep pressure on the horse’s side as an aide. Just add more pressure to keep him moving. Be sure to relax your ankles so they don’t hurt after a long hack and you’ll be able to use your legs without getting tired.
Isnt leg on to kick with both or one leg?
one leg coz it turns them the way u want to go omg im 10 u didnt kno tht.
beautiful horse i love pants and its weird i have the same saddle pad
don’t make kids wear helmets i had to i couldn’t hear a thing
