bloody hell how hard do u need to whip a horse she obviously doesnt understand what whips r foR whips are only supposed to be used when the horse doesnt react when u kick SHE DIDNT EVEN KICK
I remember watching this on TV, gosh it was heart in mouth at some points! The whip may not hurt but there was no reason for such a violent display, especially not on national television no horse deserves that no wonder it doesn't want to jump for her!
@MegaGagamad Nopes, a short BAD BOY or girl would of sufficed and they'd of carried on happily, we wouldn't do it to people who made a mistake so why horses! It makes them not enjoy jumping and get scared so they make more mistakes, and on TV aswell so kids will think it is ok to punish horses violently!
Actually one horse was quite seriously injured in this...the horse that falls off the outlander bank (because it got a fright of its riders point 2 air jacket going off) 1.29 broke its ribs and spent a few months on box rest, until it could fly back to America.
but yes the air cushed whips are not nearly as bad! they still hurt though! not like a crop does. Again: not against it, just saying that they are not painfree!
Okay I ride, love riding, use crops often, but "the whips dont hurt?" okay thats misleading. Have you ever accidentally whipped yourself with one of those suckers? I did! I missed my horse and whacked myself in the butt and it was PAINFULL. Worse than if I woulda got whacked with a wooden spoon. I had a welt and a bruise for over a week. I am not against using whips/crops in any which way or form, but saying they dont hurt is very inaccurate. Find out first hand.
@mooneypadfootprongs Just because it hurts you doesn't mean horses feel it the same way. Horses kick and bite each other all the time when they play. There's no way us using a crop could be anything near a kick from a horse.
this is my opinion but i am very apalled at this they look very spoilt yes the whip might not hurt but she doesnt need to do it 3 times it wasnt the horses fault it was hers...now for all those people "oh shut up whips dont hurt" no you shut up i would not whip my horse for refusing a jump i would just kick and then kick again when we approuch the jump i only use my whip if i HAVE too no bad comments please.
@ilovemypony7 Personally, I'd like to see you compete at this level of competition. You obviously have no idea how physically and mentally challenging eventing is, especially at CCI 4* level at Badminton Horse Trials. These riders competing are top expert riders who have undergone years of training and competition and are some of the best riders the equine industry has. You are obviously too ignorant to realise that all expert riders and horses have their days and fall off.
whipping horses (with air cushioned whips) isn't bad, or they would have banned it, but really she should either have tapped him/her when they were still facing the jump or on the next approach to the jump... not taught a lot to the horse by doing that.
Guys, you have to remember that if the organizers of Badminton didn't want anyone to whip their horses to encourage them on then they would ban the whips. It doesn't hurt a horse because they're specifically designed not too. If Emily Baldwin's horse was uneasy about jumping, encouraging them with the whip and your heels isn't bad. I can guarantee you guys must have used a whip at sometime (You may not have) but it tells the horse that their rider wants to jump it. Just Saying:)
Wowww, a lot of these riders display bad equestrianism,like whipping the horse like that because it refused, do not think that was necessary. And the man just after that, even though I know it's not possible, it looks like he pushed his horse off the verge, and didn't seem to care if it was ok or not :/
@TheSofieLee what happened was the air jacket went off and it got spooked and tried to get away and when she held onto the riens and tried to dtop him he ran even more that horse did get baddly injured even though he ran away he broke some of his ribs it was just a natrual instict to run away.
@TheSofieLee the horse got injured but her air jacket went off so the horse wasscared and tried to get away and then she tried to stop it going back but then the horse pulled away from her and she couldn't do anything about and she did get it in the end
Getting hit with a dodge ball can hurt and they too are desinged not to be too painful! Having an air cushioned whip is no excuse to bash your horse for a mistake you BOTH made!
That Emily women didnt ride her horse at all to the fence! and then once it had forgotten it had even done it she wacked it with her whip! Like the poor animal actually knew why it was getting a beating! All the money and no idea about horses! Most of them shoundlt be aloud to ride! idiots!
really riders have started depending on their whip instead of using their legs in a lot of jumping disciplines especially cross country what happened to riding the slowest pony on the yard and having to squeeze and kick him halfway round the arena before he would canter...
awww i saw all of these on TV except the one at 1:28 that was terrible Poor horses they was all ok @alicehoneyxoxo they was just abit sore soo all good xD
@alicehoneyxoxo I think the horse broke a rib or 2 but came out fine in the ending. He spooked at her vest inflated and backed away... The rider is Karen O'Connor.
Do you hit people when they knock over a hurdle or something? NO! Why should we hit horses and air cusioned whips sound as usefull as a chocolate teapot. Horses can still feel the whip. Also I wouldn't of held onto my horse if I knew there was a drop right behind it. From my experiance I know that horses are going to back away if you cling onto them so why do it?? If I ever go into eventing I am going to remind myself of these points.
Hm. Will someone please explain to me the point of an air cushioned whip, and the point of hitting your horse after its refused? As far as i know, no animals think like that.. You can scold a dog if you catch it pooping on your carpet, but afterwards they wont know what they did.. Or am I wrong?
@HorseMadIssie how does one stop a 1000+ pound animal when they are falling backwards? pull on the reins? I think videos like this show swhat separates the good riders from the great.
@GoGadgetHookerClean I was just saying, if my pony was slipping of a bank, I would try and help, not just let him fall. As I love my horse, and I would at least TRY and help even if it did not help.
@HorseMadIssie She was holding the reins, trying to keep the horse from backing up. There's literally nothing you can do about that. It sucks, but would you really want to be pulling on a horses head while they were falling backwards?
@HorseMadIssie itwasnt her falt her horse got spooked at the air jacket any horse would run from that so dont diss her she tried to pull it so it wouldnt fall and diss the course desighner cus i know him
@shearra1 1. I was not dissing the course designer, when did I ever say anything about the course, its a good jump, and one to test the trust between horse and rider.
2. My horse wouldn't run away from that, so not every horse would spook from it
3. And I never said anything bad about her, I just said what I wouldn't do, so don't diss me.
4. How does such a video sort the good from the great riders? Surley, those who dislike it, love their horse, and wish nothing of such to happen to it.
@horseloverforlife12 no , 3 whips is the rule! she no's her horse! And it was a naughty ting it did, she might of lost her temper abit but she shouldnt be locked up
@VintageStar385 LOL It landed on its neck. With the strange movement of hindquarters after Id say sprained neck, and some vertebrae out of alignment. Possible soft tissue damage. Neurological is also a possibility. Could also just be a bit woozy....but maybe not. Ive worked as a vet assistant and EMT/ECT for almost every horse sport you can imagine. LOL Seen that movement many times, not normally a good thing.
@Meredith1301 well the vet said the horse was fine, it got thouroghly checked after ... and are you blind? it landed on its side aha(: it didnt run away limping or anything. the only damage was to its ribs on the left side of its body... you wernt there. dont tell me what you "think" is true.
@VintageStar385 The grey horse at ONE MINUTE AND 58 SECONDS!? The grey horse?? Well since I figured you might be right I googled it. Read up. "Put down a few months after a fall at Badminton, DUE TO NUEROLOGICAL PROBLEMS" He certainly wasn't fine. Damn cant post link here....google "Ashdale cruise master...first entry that comes up.
@Meredith1301 oh crap aha :L sorry i thought you where talking about the bay horse that fell off the side of the step up.. thats why i said it has broken ribs.. sorry.. i know you said the number and shiz i read it wrong. my bad. sorry again!!
@Meredith1301 i know :/ tbh you wouldnt think "omg that horse might die" when you see it collapse :/ i didnt. i never knew.. i thought it was gonna be finee... poor horse :(
ok guys, heres the deal, i rewatched the vid of Emily Baldwin over and over, she wacked her horse who stopped and was naughty. if you dont notice, she hits the top of the haunches, which is not sensitive AT all, and the horse barely even flinches. she did was she was taught to do and it didnt hurt the horse. this is also in the way past and we dont need to make a big deal out of it. When my horses refuse, I wack em once but its not really up to the youtubers.....so yeah theres my argument :)
All in all, the horse's one job is to gallop around and jump the jumps. That is how he earns his keep. But when he does not jump the jump, he needs to be reminded that it is not OK. Hitting him 3 times was a bit too much, but as you can see, he didn't even pin his ears or scoot forward when she did. So obviously there wasn't too much of a reaction on the horse's part.
@iHeartHickstead Wow. And you think the horse knows that he's competing at Badminton here? Or that there is prize money involved? The horses are SAINTS to go around these jumps. Hitting him was bad enough, you can clearly see he was on a bogey stride, but hitting him when it wasn't even directly after the refusal is even worse, as he doesn't even know what he's being hit for!
@DieselEquestrian I can understand what you mean, but I'm just sayin that it most likely wouldn't be very good horse training if she let him get away with refusing. She probably shouldn't have hit him three times, but I'm sure she knows what she's doing.
Emily shouldnt have whipped her horse. The horse tried to jump the fence but didnt have the stride right or the bounce to get over it. It wasnt a flat refusal. There's no need to take out your anger over poor planning on the horse who tried for you!!
omg! they used the whip so hard!!!!!!!!!!!! wat is their problem! horses should be taught through gentle manor, not being whipped if they make a mistake, even if it is air cushioned or watever, it may not leave a physical scar, but it will leave a mental scar!!!!!!!!!!!!! ppl may think that it encourages a horse, but u try slapping urself with a crop/whip and c how it feels, even if it's just a mistake
Holy crap if i was there watching emily baldwin whip the horse like that I would have lost it. If I were her instructor, friend, or parent i would have been immensely disappointed in her, how immature. She ought to be banned for a stunt like that, i wouldn't expect that even out of an amateur rider
First off, you are all ridiculous! You whip a horse when they refuse to punish them for being bad! She wasn't 'beating her horse', grow up! And secondly, why, why, WHY would you have a song like that on this video?!?!?!
@TheMagoo12 You should never, NEVER punish your horse if it refuse to jump. A horse always has good reasons for not jumping. If you hit it, the horse will only connect the pain/the whip with obstacles and may be scared of jumping again. You will never be a good rider if you punish your horse for things like this. It's things like kids do.
@IzzaFrizza, how DARE you say that i will never be a good rider for punishing my horse! Do you even ride?! And if you do, what do you do when your horse refuses the jump? Praise it, tell him its a good boy, that everythings ok and that ;try again next time, maybe your having a bad day?' You will get NOWHERE doing that! The horses don't assoictiate the whip with jumping because they DIDN'T JUMP! They don't always have any excuse, and if they learn that refusing is a bad thing because of the whip
@TheMagoo12 I don't praise him, but I don't hit him. I only turn to the obstacle again and makes him more aware of what's going to happen. I won't give him a chance to stop. Then he will jump. Instead of hitting your horse to jump, you should encourage it. Try it next time instead of whipping it.
@IzzaFrizza then it's a GOOD thing, then they'll jump next time beacuse they don't want to be punished! Yes, there is a difference between punishing for learning purposes, and beating them for no reason, and the rider in this video was NOT beating her horse. Any GOOD coach will tell you to dicipline your horse if they are bad, and allmost ALL top riders will punish their horse if they refuse, UNLESS the horse has an issue with whips. Ok yes, its not fair to the horse to punish it if it was RIDER
@IzzaFrizza error, but horses don't always have a good reason for refusing. And just saying, i can guarantee that i am and will be a better rider than you
@TheMagoo12 If a horse refuse to jump, the rider must have done something wrong. Do you whip your horse if it's afraid? Do you whip your horse if it's insecure? Would you like someone to whip you if you were a bit scared? I don't think so. Btw, you haven't seen me ride som you can't tell by what I'm writing if you're a better rider than me.
@IzzaFrizza Its not always the riders fault. And theres a difference between 'whipping' the horse, and giving it a smack to dicipline it. There are reasons why to and why not to give your horse a smack. For instance this summer i had a young inexperienced horse, and the majority of the time if he stopped, i would circle around and try again, but if it was a small jump or something he's jumped before, then he doesn't have an excuse, and i would give him a smack. I wouldn't 'whip him or beat him
@IzzaFrizza plus, horses have a higher pain tolerance than humans, horses groom each other with their teeth, and it feels good, if a horse was to do that to us, we would be cut and black and blue all over! Everyone has different opinions on how to properly ride a horse, and i see it as it really depends on the situation. I don't go around wailing on horses for no reason. I always have a reason for what i do, and i do it right. You are in no place to judge, or tell people whats right or wrong
@TheMagoo12 I'm aware of the horses pain tolerance. But sooner or later you will break it down mentally. A horse is sensetive that way. I don't say that you are a bad horseowner, I'm sure you love your horse and never would like to hurt it. But in my world, hitting a horse with the crop isn't an option. If a horse is being bad, I use my body, not things like whips or sticks. That's my method. I think that the woman made a mistake, and I won't change my mind...
@IzzaFrizza well i may not be able to change your mind, but i can at least tell you that crops are more often used to help rather than hinder. Look it up, almost any and all websites will tell you that whips/crops are used in the training process, and used to help encourage the horse and teach it. Not scar it.
@TheMagoo12 omg! they used the whip so hard!!!!!!!!!!!! wat is their problem! horses should be taught through gentle manor, not being whipped if they make a mistake, even if it is air cushioned or watever, it may not leave a physical scar, but it will leave a mental scar!!!!!!!!!!!!! ppl may think that it encourages a horse, but u try slapping urself with a crop/whip and c how it feels, even if it's just a mistake
@TheMagoo12 I haven't said crops are bad - I said you shouldn't use the crop as punishment if the horse refuses. I often ride with crop because I often ride "slow" horses. But I only wave with it so they know I have it i my hand. That will often do, it not - I poke them with it. I only use the crop to get the horse move forward, never to punish it. The horses shouln't be afraid of the crop, but sadly, there are horses that are really afraid of them, proably because someone punished them with it.
@TheMagoo12 finally someone with sense!!! and im VERY interested in why the poster ONLY showed the names on Ingrid Emily and Oliver?!?!! a certain reason? or just 'coincidence' hmm?!
Air cushioned whips are used on racehorses too, And they can leave welts! You can't tell me it doesn't hurt them! So she's annoyed they refused so she beats the horse, that's rediculous!
@MaggieBII . No, that is NOT an "OK" reason to hit a horse for not wanting to jump a fence! As a rider we should be know that horses cost loads of money and it takes time to have horses. I'm not one of those who screams "animal abuse" at any time and no Idon't think this rider is an animal abuser either. But you should NEVER ever loose your temper, whipping the horse because your pissed!. She should've did that before the jump not after!
@equistera the rules state that you can hit the horse THREE times with out drawing blood or bursting the skin. She was within the rules and I believe the Emily knows her horse better than anyone on here??
@DieselEquestrian The rider has to choose the right punishment for THEIR horse. if emily felt that was what was needed she was within her rights. imo, it was a little extream but we all have diffrent ways of dealing with things. dont get me wrong, i wouldnt dream of doing that unless it was a this horse is going to kill me situation. but Emily has trainers and i dont believe YOU are her trainer? and i dont believe she got a warning for smacking him 3times. emily knows her horse you dont.
@DieselEquestrian and it was a VERY naughty stop. if my horse had done that i would have given it 1 veyr hard smack. but that is what my horse needs. your horse might not. every horse is diffrent and we all get taught diffrent ways. each to their own.
@Cottontail6969 She didn't beat her horse. she smacked it three times. it was within the rules. if you think thats beating a horse you need to take a step into the real world.
@Cottontail6969 pahaa. your a funny one. we all have our own little rules and ways. I dont see hitting a horse as beating. If you do it for a reason no, its not beating. do it for no reason=beating.
@MsCheekyEventer1996 you still shouldn't use a whip as punishment i believe in using it for encouragement but NEVER punishment. i've found it does nothing but make the horse distrust you.
the horse that fell down the bank WAS VERY seriously injured!!! he broke 6 of his ribs... that's not a 'serious injury' to you? i think you should learn to tell the truth in your videos... at 1:32 you see he cant use his front legs properly due to his 6 broken ribs... i know he broke his ribs because i have researched before i said something. kthanksbye.
the first horses hoove got stuck:( and actuallya hard slap for us is a small tap for tem and u use it when u need it cause 1 time i used 1 cause this horse tryd to run me in to a busy street and it tryd to run me to the barn
All the horses are afraid of theire riders cause if the do anything wrong, they get slapped, and very hard and much!! I think it's abuse, really. How can anyone say that he loves hir horse but he slapped hem that much!
Emily Baldwin was silly, even if "the whips don't hurt" she lost her temper, which is immature and stupid, and will not help her or the horse progress.
Ughh, that Emily Baldwin is such a loser for smacking her horse around. I've said it before and I'll say it again: Use a crop as an aid BEFORE an obstacle, not after your horse has done something 'wrong' or to 'show them' after they've refused.
ok well to all the people comminthng about the rider wiper her horse yes she probley should of wippeda horse like that but people treat there horses alot badder than this so i think u should leave this person alone and go worry about some other the other more seris horse abusers
so what if its air cushoned?? its still horrible and you should never whip a horse like that, if they are scared of the water then they are not ready to be doing a x country course like that

@GoGadgetHookerClean I was just saying, if my pony was slipping of a bank, I would try and help, not just let him fall. As I love my horse, and I would at least TRY and help even if it did not help.

@HorseMadIssie She was holding the reins, trying to keep the horse from backing up. There's literally nothing you can do about that. It sucks, but would you really want to be pulling on a horses head while they were falling backwards?

@HorseMadIssie itwasnt her falt her horse got spooked at the air jacket any horse would run from that so dont diss her she tried to pull it so it wouldnt fall and diss the course desighner cus i know him

@shearra1 1. I was not dissing the course designer, when did I ever say anything about the course, its a good jump, and one to test the trust between horse and rider.
2. My horse wouldn't run away from that, so not every horse would spook from it
3. And I never said anything bad about her, I just said what I wouldn't do, so don't diss me.
4. How does such a video sort the good from the great riders? Surley, those who dislike it, love their horse, and wish nothing of such to happen to it.

Neurological is also a possibility. Could also just be a bit woozy....but maybe not. Ive worked as a vet assistant and EMT/ECT for almost every horse sport you can imagine. LOL Seen that movement many times, not normally a good thing.

ok guys, heres the deal, i rewatched the vid of Emily Baldwin over and over, she wacked her horse who stopped and was naughty. if you dont notice, she hits the top of the haunches, which is not sensitive AT all, and the horse barely even flinches. she did was she was taught to do and it didnt hurt the horse. this is also in the way past and we dont need to make a big deal out of it. When my horses refuse, I wack em once but its not really up to the youtubers.....so yeah theres my argument :)

All in all, the horse's one job is to gallop around and jump the jumps. That is how he earns his keep. But when he does not jump the jump, he needs to be reminded that it is not OK. Hitting him 3 times was a bit too much, but as you can see, he didn't even pin his ears or scoot forward when she did. So obviously there wasn't too much of a reaction on the horse's part.
iHeartHickstead 3 months ago
@iHeartHickstead Wow. And you think the horse knows that he's competing at Badminton here? Or that there is prize money involved? The horses are SAINTS to go around these jumps. Hitting him was bad enough, you can clearly see he was on a bogey stride, but hitting him when it wasn't even directly after the refusal is even worse, as he doesn't even know what he's being hit for!
DieselEquestrian 3 months ago
@DieselEquestrian I can understand what you mean, but I'm just sayin that it most likely wouldn't be very good horse training if she let him get away with refusing. She probably shouldn't have hit him three times, but I'm sure she knows what she's doing.
iHeartHickstead 3 months ago
Emily shouldnt have whipped her horse. The horse tried to jump the fence but didnt have the stride right or the bounce to get over it. It wasnt a flat refusal. There's no need to take out your anger over poor planning on the horse who tried for you!!

First off, you are all ridiculous! You whip a horse when they refuse to punish them for being bad! She wasn't 'beating her horse', grow up! And secondly, why, why, WHY would you have a song like that on this video?!?!?!
TheMagoo12 4 months ago
@TheMagoo12 You should never, NEVER punish your horse if it refuse to jump. A horse always has good reasons for not jumping. If you hit it, the horse will only connect the pain/the whip with obstacles and may be scared of jumping again. You will never be a good rider if you punish your horse for things like this. It's things like kids do.
IzzaFrizza 3 months ago
@IzzaFrizza, how DARE you say that i will never be a good rider for punishing my horse! Do you even ride?! And if you do, what do you do when your horse refuses the jump? Praise it, tell him its a good boy, that everythings ok and that ;try again next time, maybe your having a bad day?' You will get NOWHERE doing that! The horses don't assoictiate the whip with jumping because they DIDN'T JUMP! They don't always have any excuse, and if they learn that refusing is a bad thing because of the whip
TheMagoo12 3 months ago
@TheMagoo12 I don't praise him, but I don't hit him. I only turn to the obstacle again and makes him more aware of what's going to happen. I won't give him a chance to stop. Then he will jump. Instead of hitting your horse to jump, you should encourage it. Try it next time instead of whipping it.
IzzaFrizza 3 months ago
@IzzaFrizza then it's a GOOD thing, then they'll jump next time beacuse they don't want to be punished! Yes, there is a difference between punishing for learning purposes, and beating them for no reason, and the rider in this video was NOT beating her horse. Any GOOD coach will tell you to dicipline your horse if they are bad, and allmost ALL top riders will punish their horse if they refuse, UNLESS the horse has an issue with whips. Ok yes, its not fair to the horse to punish it if it was RIDER
TheMagoo12 3 months ago
@IzzaFrizza error, but horses don't always have a good reason for refusing. And just saying, i can guarantee that i am and will be a better rider than you
TheMagoo12 3 months ago
@TheMagoo12 If a horse refuse to jump, the rider must have done something wrong. Do you whip your horse if it's afraid? Do you whip your horse if it's insecure? Would you like someone to whip you if you were a bit scared? I don't think so. Btw, you haven't seen me ride som you can't tell by what I'm writing if you're a better rider than me.
IzzaFrizza 3 months ago
@IzzaFrizza Its not always the riders fault. And theres a difference between 'whipping' the horse, and giving it a smack to dicipline it. There are reasons why to and why not to give your horse a smack. For instance this summer i had a young inexperienced horse, and the majority of the time if he stopped, i would circle around and try again, but if it was a small jump or something he's jumped before, then he doesn't have an excuse, and i would give him a smack. I wouldn't 'whip him or beat him
TheMagoo12 3 months ago
@IzzaFrizza plus, horses have a higher pain tolerance than humans, horses groom each other with their teeth, and it feels good, if a horse was to do that to us, we would be cut and black and blue all over! Everyone has different opinions on how to properly ride a horse, and i see it as it really depends on the situation. I don't go around wailing on horses for no reason. I always have a reason for what i do, and i do it right. You are in no place to judge, or tell people whats right or wrong
TheMagoo12 3 months ago
@TheMagoo12 I'm aware of the horses pain tolerance. But sooner or later you will break it down mentally. A horse is sensetive that way. I don't say that you are a bad horseowner, I'm sure you love your horse and never would like to hurt it. But in my world, hitting a horse with the crop isn't an option. If a horse is being bad, I use my body, not things like whips or sticks. That's my method. I think that the woman made a mistake, and I won't change my mind...
IzzaFrizza 3 months ago
@IzzaFrizza well i may not be able to change your mind, but i can at least tell you that crops are more often used to help rather than hinder. Look it up, almost any and all websites will tell you that whips/crops are used in the training process, and used to help encourage the horse and teach it. Not scar it.

ShowJumper123Jess 3 months ago
@TheMagoo12 I haven't said crops are bad - I said you shouldn't use the crop as punishment if the horse refuses. I often ride with crop because I often ride "slow" horses. But I only wave with it so they know I have it i my hand. That will often do, it not - I poke them with it. I only use the crop to get the horse move forward, never to punish it. The horses shouln't be afraid of the crop, but sadly, there are horses that are really afraid of them, proably because someone punished them with it.

@MaggieBII . No, that is NOT an "OK" reason to hit a horse for not wanting to jump a fence! As a rider we should be know that horses cost loads of money and it takes time to have horses. I'm not one of those who screams "animal abuse" at any time and no Idon't think this rider is an animal abuser either. But you should NEVER ever loose your temper, whipping the horse because your pissed!. She should've did that before the jump not after!
