Lazy Times

[Palominostudio]

Lovely!

[appachelover3423]

In your canter lean back at to get your horse in a forward canter try resting your crop agents his side and put som presure on it

[416tayjay]

U shouldnt lean forward when cantering. Unless its jumpung

[ChloeRosie14]

you call that good riding???/ She learns forward WAY to much he hands are bumping around and you have no seat. If he was to shy you wwould be thrown off

[peacebeauty101]

lol i ride a 5 yr old horse name Spirit and sometime he wil NOT go it gets annoying after awhile but its a GREAT workout lol :)

[HorsesRcul]

I had riding lessons last night. The horse I ride Peppy was going faster than usual. He did 2 full laps of our arena cantering. And finally did a grid cantering and going fast enough.

[tuckertruthbetold]

you lean forword to much in the trot and your horse was cantering on the wrong lead, how long have you benn riding????

[Feiredencer]

@tuckertruthbetold if you think you're so great at riding then why arent you winning the gold medal in dressage at the weg like you act like you can instead of criticizing people on youtube? dickhead

[11horseback]

I ride western not english!!! I think english is to hard for me, but what the heck, at least i tried!!!!

[horseluver2010]

Ah, this happened to me when I was in a lesson on a very lazy twelve hand pony lol xD and we were at the front and he isn't used to that. It was like trying to ride a bike in very strong winds - you still go very slow, no matter how much you nudge and kick :P

[GoGallopGirl]

Aww cute he was tired >:D and your a awesome rider it gets on my nerves when people tell you what to do it's for you to figure out (:

[bcarlisleq]

I know loads of poeple are commenting on you're riding but u cand ride really well and youre horse is amazing.

Just sit back a bit and relax, dont worry The best riders make mistakes in position.

[SuperstarShelby]

oh well uhm, where do i begin??

1. close ur hip angle.

2. your need some real help. ehh.

i know this is old but it doesnt look like you have real good balance.

[twireimoonshine7]

hes stunning..how old is he?

hes a little lazy i think but you need to kinda have a "hissy fit" on them i have an 18hh hanoverian and hes fabulous at everything but lazy as hell!!! good riding and i dont think your seats bad!!

[PonyGirl246]

Hello! I just wanted to invite you to my Horseback Riding Contest! I thought you would be a great entry! Just type in Ponygirl246 horseback riding contest!! PLZ ENTER!! THANKS!

[990sydney]

yea your pumping is fine and once your horse learns to get better at the transitions, u wont have to pump, which is wayyy better. other than that, u did great!!!! have fun with him :)

[xxcassuhdeexx]

its not bad that you are pumping. Pumping makes cantering easier for both you and the horse. You are moving with your horse and it makes it more comfortable!

Your horse is so cute and you're a really good rider:)

Trust me, I did a whole lesson on this about feeling your horse's rythum.

[GatorGirls15]

You have no sound

[HorseCrazzyGirl7]

Haha Violet, your such a good rider! Love this!

[gottoride2]

Yeah, don't worry. I "pump" my horse too, cause he's lazy. Nothing wrong with using your seat than your legs :D

[horsefreak82]

Yeah I know I have had my lazy days :P But still really great riding! You 2 look really good together

[heatherbreyerhorse]

do u7 ride english or western i ride english

[sophsratties]

cute! good riding.

We have very stubborn horses. What we have to do is give them a couple of taps with the whip... well, smack really... it's not as bad as it sounds. If they don't listen, you have to 'loose your temper'. :S sort of...

Well, just try anbd sit more upright. Shoulders back, and squeeze with your leg. outside one back. Sit only a few strides before canter, and it's easier to canter on a corner ;)

If that doeesn't work, give him a few taps to wake him up.

Hope that helps

[callielover5]

ty is the cuttist thing and a horse i ride has his lazy ays to but hey they r horses!!

[Mousenose]

I know everyone has their lazy days even horses. I have now come to respect that. I probably should have only done trot work.

[callielover5]

the canter looked fine it looked like he waz doing great u did a great job!!=]

[PoNyPaLs6378]

Kool Ty is so cute love his markings so much you're a great rider!!!!

[crazypuppy123]

lol just push your shoulders back and it will put you back and you will have PERFECT positon! great job

[Razzle1203]

Just a suggestion for your canter, try and follow him with your arms and keep your helmet centered (that's what my instructor always tells me). For the speed: Add your aids each time he takes a step (ex: there are three beats to the canter so on beat one add leg, beat two add leg, and on beat 3 add your whip but behind your leg.) Hope that helps!

[jcsbyrd36]

What breed is he?

[Mousenose]

Thoroughbred I think. :P

[horsesrule64]

haha Ty was lazy! he had a lazy canter!

[CadyD16]

Yeah I saw that. But your realy good at riding I only got up to a trot but you are doing well :)

[kirstenbuchan]

I think its quite a natural thing to pump when you go from quite a forward going horse to a lazier and slower horse :P

Probably once you get used to him you'll stop doing it :) My friend does it when she's nervous too lol... :P

xx

[pinkweaselgirl]

he needs a little more energy but u look great!

[raretalentnfrankie]

Another thing that helps is puting more energy into what you do. I tried being very energetic and that got the horse to go, but they are different horses, so I guess you just have to learn your horse.

[raretalentnfrankie]

about the pumping thing-I have that problem with a horse named Able-My instructor said that he wasn't respecting my leg cues. I had to show him that I mean it, so she had me hit him behind the saddle with the crop.

[Mousenose]

I do that with Ty also.

[avia4563]

no, i mean jumps for humans, their called people jumps, like mini horse jumps, and we don't really ride, so its like an obstical course for humans.

[Mousenose]

YAY! :D I love jumping on Foot! It is the best! I always do it. xD

[avia4563]

at our barn we have ppl jumps LOL!

[Mousenose]

We aren't allowed to jump durnign free rides.

[ILOVEJAZZ93]

Good ol lazy Ty :P

Awesome job, dude!

[kDOTsProductions]

all i see when you lope or canter. your too forward. dont tense up and dont completly relax. just sit yourself up and go with the flow:)

[Mousenose]

I think in my case I have to completey relax because I tense up so often and so much it gets really bad. I used to think it was the proper way to ride so when I tried it I used to not get corrected as much.

[kDOTsProductions]

oh what breed is ty?

[Mousenose]

Thoroughbred. He used to be a champion hunter frm the UK. Our stables bought him from there.

[RanchGrlUSA]

well i used to do the uper body thing my bad

[RanchGrlUSA]

i do the upper body thing too XD

but if you transfer it to your legs and keep telling him to go forward maybe?

[vampirexxo]

Cool.

[HorsezEquestrianlove]

riding a lazy pony does get a little annoying but remeber people have lazy days just like humans

[xoadonicaxo]

Wat a lazy horse! hes cute though :)

[hunterjumper526]

lol yaa! it sucks free riding with tons of lessons going on....yaa..to prevent the oumping try to not sit soo deep it makes them go slower and makes u pump if ur on a lazy horse/pony ;D

[KieraSP]

Awesome mousie but when he was trotting at

1:20- 1:35 i saw you were leaning forward cuz he was pulling you if he does that try to move him forward and bring his head up. OTher than That great job!

[Mousenose]

Lol finally someone spots that! xD Thanks for the advice. Man watchign myself canter is hard because other people do it so well and here I am. I went from good to bad with my riding. Something just happend I dunno what. :P

[kDOTsProductions]

aaha you think your position is bad? i dont think so. your a nice rider. lol im just getting in my new t/b mare. shes 16 hh but maaan a paing in da but!XD. ohh and a brand new english saddle:) i hope it all works out:)

[AddictedHorseRider]

haha

Don't u think it's hard to post on a lazy horse? I find it a bit hard than riding a horse thats not lazy lol

[Mousenose]

Yeah my posting was bad because he was doing this thing where he'd put his head down. :P I dunno dude. How can we get Ty unlazy?! Even though he is like 18.

[AddictedHorseRider]

haha I know what cha mean! I've ridden so many lazy horses and it puts us off balance when we're barely in a trot and we have to keep kicking!

[Mousenose]

I know! I felt bad because I think I kept him going too much. Like I kpet asking him to go forward.

[AddictedHorseRider]

Ohh u shouldn't feel bad, he's lazy, he needs to be pushed on, lol! It's the same amount of work all the horses would get!

[Mousenose]

Yeah. Lol but I never like to hit a horse with a crop but dude I HAD to cause kicking would do nothing! He is a good boy though. :)

[AddictedHorseRider]

Horses have tough skin, giving them a tap on the shoulder with a crop, doesn't hurt them but they feel it and know the have to go forward! lol

[ShadowHorse27]

Cool! I start meh intro jumping class tomorrow! :D

[xxponygirlxx]

Coolio, everything is good but the upperbody part...try to bend your elbow tho. Not stiff and stright...ha ha goooooood job

[silverbrooke]

hmm, pumping's never really been a problem for me. As for advice, I guess I'd say try to lean back and seat deep in the saddle. Try pushing him forward with your hips and legs instead of your upper body.

[SlowZippinStory]

YEAH GO TY!! :D

[SophieeLovesHorses]

awesome !!!!!

[LuckyLilBear]

*try a little half seat!

thats the same thing with the pony i ride named Hotshot! hes the lasiest thing in the world! but at the canter he just takes off lol :D but my intructors tell me ot go into a half seat to stop me from pumping

[ElladaPegasus]

nice riding! I rode a horse called Big Ted the other day. He's a murderer. When he was younger he was fighting with another horse and he killed them =O but hes not that bad now lol. I rode him the other day and he was SOO GOOD!! He;s never that good i even got him to canter 15 meter cirlce!TWICE YAY ME!!! lol XP

[shieannie101]

Great Job!!! XP but just a little advice next time you ride try putting a little more bend in your elbows so that your arms arent so stiff and straight!!!! please dont take that offensively im just trying to help! and what my trainer used to do for this girl who pumped was he stuck a crop inbeetween her arms so that it was touching her back and if she pumped it was very painful!! just some advice! it was SO cute at the very beggining when Ty was walking towards the camera!!

[horselovergirl92]

u look good exept for the upper boby think. ovisly i am not a trainer but it may help if u canter in 1/2 seat

[PoNyPaLs6378]

So kool first to view and comment yaya go Mousie
