Guy riders longggggggggggg since learn to catch ourselves, and mind our position at all times, when riding. We figure that out in pony/short-stirrup days.
I know this can sometimes seem incomprehensible to you ladyfolk (and I guess that's understandable)-- but it's just really not that hard to avoid racking ourselves when riding... even bareback. It's not. We wouldn't do it if it was.
It's French for ”power”... generally in puissance classes, they build the single central fence higher and higher until only a winner can clear it. There are optional practice fences as well.
Amazing horses and riders. And some MAD leg muscles. Anyone who says riding isn't a real sport and that we just "sit there" clearly haven't tried posting without stirrups let alone this.
god, that man must have amazing muscles. At my barn, every lesson we have to go into two point with out stirrups perfectly, and it will kill your legs for the one second your up.
this is amazing ive only ever jumped about 3ft bareback i remember jumping 4ft without stirrups but id love to do that i just dont have the horse!! xx
@Buster14596 to test yours and your horses abilities and you get tons of money it's not a solid brick wall it's boxs or something light stacked ontop of each other so it doesnt hurt if the horse hits the wall
we have a puissance wall at my yard and we did a bareback puissance today. i lived until 2ft9" when the horse decided to gallop straight through the jump and buck. i stayed on. but those guys jumping 7ft are AMAZING!!!
Means it's done just as an entertainment display, and cannot be used for any official tally of points, of rankings, nor to award money (though they can be done to raise money for charity).
i'd just be happy to get over the 2 warm up jumps - WITH saddle lol. i cant even get on my horse bareback (he freaks out when you make sudden movements) let alone jump. but now ive been inspired to try. thank you :)
LOL, Females make suuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuch a bigger deal out of this than it is. Seriously, no guy makes it past short/long stirrup without learning how to "catch" himself. I mean, bash against a pommel/withers as single time, and the pain will teach ya that! Guys at this level would have no problem negotiating such, lol.
...I'm a guy, and I can say not really. Male riders learn to "catch" ourselves wayyyy back in pony days. Bash against a pommel a time or two, and you'll learn it quickly. Those who don't, just wear a cup. Not nearly as cumbersome as some of you lady-folks make it out to be sometimes. ;)
At least we're wrong, lol. Wouldn't it suck if we were right about how much it hurt lol. My coach is Male and tells me he just avoids riding bareback.
@HavvahartKL Puissance horses are trained for this. It's like saying sulky racing isn;t good for trap horses. They are all bred for it and hence have incredibly strong rock hard legs which act as shock absorbers
@Nibbles184 Not at all! It is more natural to have a ride bareback, they can feel your position and movement and seat and therefore move easier instead of having the saddle to move under
...the whole point of puissance competitions are to continually increase the height until a winner is declared or a record set. Therefore, height in various competitions will vary quite a bit.
@ImmortalSynn yeah i know its talent their amazing what i mean is they have a chance to ride such horses that can jump those heights aswell as there talents x
@ImmortalSynn yes very true i agree with you. their are alot of people who can ride as well as them if they were given the chance or had the money and when i said lucky i didn't mean in there riding i ment in having those opotunities x
I find these convos interesting, as I was into one with a few of my barnbuddies the other day... where we were discussing if anyone would likely ever top Margie Engle's string of AGA Rider of the Year awards. The comment along the lines of "I doubt anyone would ever be lucky enough to have that many horses" came up... and we got into a big go-around about what, if anything, luck has to do with that.
@ImmortalSynn i agree but you have to be a good rider in the start. and to afford horses like that you have to be pretty wealthy. like ellen whittaker she was born into the horsey world. if she wasn't a whittaker she probably woundt be a famous rider today!
"i agree but you have to be a good rider in the start. and to afford horses like that you have to be pretty wealthy."
More often than not, the top riders themselves are nowhere *near* wealthy, they just have wealthy CLIENTS. To garner those though, does indeed require talent.
As for being born into the horse world, I'll agree with you there... but still not always the case. Look at Margie Engle-- won more GPs than anyone, in history but neither rich nor born into it.
My mom has decided that if I ever ride bareback again, Im not allowed to ride at all.. SOO Once I am old (and good enough) to, Im entering this class... and Im going to win it (-: I love riding and jumping bareback
Get a grip. I'm just informing him/her that this was a rare event, in case she meant this specific type of competition. I'm in no way whatsoever impugning on enthusiasm.
ahahah its funny how the majority of riders position and balance arent nearly as good over jumps half that height with a saddle! what amazing riders these guys are haha
I find it amazing that when you watch jumping in saddle you do not appreciate the whole horse! Watching this without a saddle really emphasizes what beautiful creatures they are. Thanks for a great video!
Amazing! I may have missed an earlier thread, but what breed of horse is this? I need to show this to my horse when he complains about the little barrels I ask him to jump!!!:)
Awesome, everyone should be able to ride without a saddle, maybe not jump 7feet :) but still, I believe riding without a saddle is the best way to learn and keeps you closer to the horse !

Yes, more damage to horse's back by this accidental flapping on it by the rider's ass, and what??? :) People are supposed to go and cry that "that is AMAZING" ??? :))))
@ImmortalSynn Yes. Yours is again the most common, typical English everywhere widely used by all "equestrian guys", "horsemen", "riders" and "champions".
I confirm that to you as a professional linguist with higher eduaction.
@ImmortalSynn I will keep on saying that YOU way of "self-expression" is 100% typical and most common in level for "equestrian guys", "girls" and "champions" . I don't care if you don't approve the comment again, YOU read it, so YOU know it.
@ImmortalSynn You are the owner of this vid., every time after posting a comment there is "your comment wait for approval", i wrote two other comments that did NOT appear here.
Apparently, you didn't post them correctly then. You only ever had 4 comments pending, and all four are posted here. None are left in pending, and I haven't erased anything from anyone on this thread in weeks.
@fleur4198 yep pretty much if you havnt allready noticed the riders are sat lightly and dont sit down as we normally do bareback the are sat up and non bouncing as they would with a saddle to the best of their abilities and anyhow its not like they do this every day so no harm .... god some people need to unwrapp the cotton wool they live in and get a grip ¬¬
You're either 1) thoroughly confused or 2) lying for the sake of attention.
Regardless as to which it is, do know that this was a 1off and highly-publicized event at Olympia. The taping was originally done live. So unless a few thousand in the crowd, and a few million in the live audience, were hypnotized into thinking that they saw something they didn't... you can rest assured that you're thoroughly wrong on the issue at hand. ;)
I have the entire show on tape, and these clips are also featured in Equestrian Vision's Thrills & Spills collection..... which ANYONEEEEE can get for themselves with a simple click to Amazon or Ebay.
Now this video shows you the proof behind the mechanics of form over fences. It's even more impressive to watch knowing those are men riding whose ummm parts might not like the landing too much.
Actually, what kreabis says is true. I've ridden out over natural fences bareback too many times to count. I tell people try a close contact saddle for jumping. I use mine for cross country jumping. A grippy bareback pad makes jumping sans saddle even easier + it frees the horse's back better.
I've heard several people say that, so I guess it's an individual matter... I don't find jumping to be all that much more difficult bareback, but as a guy, I do think that we've gotta be a bit more careful how we land. Not nearly as exaggeratedly-such as some ladies like to joke about, but still a bit more than usual. ;)
wheres the spills?

Apparently, you didn't post them correctly then. You only ever had 4 comments pending, and all four are posted here. None are left in pending, and I haven't erased anything from anyone on this thread in weeks.

@fleur4198 yep pretty much if you havnt allready noticed the riders are sat lightly and dont sit down as we normally do bareback the are sat up and non bouncing as they would with a saddle to the best of their abilities and anyhow its not like they do this every day so no harm .... god some people need to unwrapp the cotton wool they live in and get a grip ¬¬

You're either 1) thoroughly confused or 2) lying for the sake of attention.
Regardless as to which it is, do know that this was a 1off and highly-publicized event at Olympia. The taping was originally done live. So unless a few thousand in the crowd, and a few million in the live audience, were hypnotized into thinking that they saw something they didn't... you can rest assured that you're thoroughly wrong on the issue at hand. ;)

Then let's go to option 3) you're full of shit.
I have the entire show on tape, and these clips are also featured in Equestrian Vision's Thrills & Spills collection..... which ANYONEEEEE can get for themselves with a simple click to Amazon or Ebay.
You're pathetic.

Now this video shows you the proof behind the mechanics of form over fences. It's even more impressive to watch knowing those are men riding whose ummm parts might not like the landing too much.
Actually, what kreabis says is true. I've ridden out over natural fences bareback too many times to count. I tell people try a close contact saddle for jumping. I use mine for cross country jumping. A grippy bareback pad makes jumping sans saddle even easier + it frees the horse's back better.

@kreabis
I've heard several people say that, so I guess it's an individual matter... I don't find jumping to be all that much more difficult bareback, but as a guy, I do think that we've gotta be a bit more careful how we land. Not nearly as exaggeratedly-such as some ladies like to joke about, but still a bit more than usual. ;)
