haha. my jr. jumper would do that after a particularly hard combination. we always called it the happy buck. i've seen a few others do it, i think it's their way of high fiving and going 'yeeah baby!'.. my current gelding though. bucking requires too much energy.
@RockieEdward haha what? first of all hes obviously over 5. they have to be to even begin jumping with a rider so his legs and tendons are fully developed, hes obviously strong, fit, and trusting, aswell as having tendon and ankle boots on which support his tendons and absorb shock, and the rider is excellent. the horse is perfectly fine
@LETHALMISTAKE no its not a fly cap? its to deafen out the noise of the crowd cos sometimes the cheering can spook the horse(: and more often then not if they didn't have that on then they wouldn't be able to jump cos of the noise (some horses are really spooky)
@3piper Riders put them on their horses so their horses cant hear a lot of noise. It helps them concentrate on what they're doing and trys to help prevent them spooking.
@XHorseLoveX they do very little for sound deadening- they're mostly for show when GP riders use them indoors. The bonnets are only made of cotton, sometimes as thin as gauze type cotton cloth that you can almost see through on the ears. They have their sponsor's logo, home country flag, whatever on them and they all just wear them because its "what you do" at that level. Outside, they're used to keep flies and gnats out of the horse's ears and prevent unnecessary head shaking due to bugs.
anyone who is trying to act like this horse is in pain, shut the hell up. if they didn't want to do it. they wouldn't. as riders, yeah, we have a good bit of control over what our horses do. but that is VERY limited. if he was unhappy and didn't want to jump that, he wouldn't. that horse was excited because he just had a blast. and he deserved a buck of joy (looked a little more like a crowhop to me, but still!) wonderful video!
@platypussy79 lol i think my pony would dissagree with you. she absolutely loves to play buck and always does it when she's feeling extra good. i think he was just very very fired up :)
@platypussy79 not really bucking can definitally be used as a happy expression, once one of our horses managed to excape and he tossed his head and bucked, he was very proud of himself
@platypussy79 I hate to burst your bubble too, but bucking is either done to get a predator off the horse's back or as a play/happy response. Go watch some baby horses in the pasture and you'll see what I mean. (some older horses play buck in the pasture too)
That was so cute, its obvious he was feeling really good after those huge jumps! What a good boy, & kudos to the rider for appreciating the buck for what it was, high spirits!
Jeeezzzz, those jumps are enormous!!!! :O x
