  • "How to kill a horse."

  • Shes wearing those things on her Boots (I Dont like them), you need to learn to ride without them, although it is a beautiful horse :D

  • It's funny how half these people who leave comments like "loosen the reins" or "that's not how you ride a horse", have never even ridden a horse before. Why else would you be looking up a "How To Ride A Horse" video, if you know how to ride a horse?!

  • the trainer is really sexy. i want to rid on trainer....

  • the trainer is hot !......

  • thats a beautiful horse ? how did no one noticed it :P

  • hmm personaly i don't like vidios like this , it makes ppl think it is SOOOO easy to ride ....

  • It would help her riding emencly of she would sit straight instead of being slightly bent forward.

  • if i didnt know how to ride this vidio would teach me NOTHING at all

  • Not to be mean, but you really need to work on your canter. It looked like your trying to post or something. Your butt should be on the saddle, like glue is on your breaches or jeans.

  • 1:36 THAT HORSE NEEDS SLEEP! Poor thing!

  • ive never ridden a horse before nor getting close to one. ive only see them in movies stuffs. i watch this just in case theres emergencies, no cars, and theres only a horse available. lol just in case. i find this video is very helpful.now i think i know how to ride and handle the reins. thank you.

  • she's awesome >>>> the women on the horse

  • The woman tells it like horse riding is so easy. It's totally not!

  • @MuseJulie it is. everyone can do it. don't act like a 12yo girly.

  • Overexposed

  • Hey, can anyone answer my question please? If it's your first ever horse riding lesson is the instructor allowed to make you ride the horse by yourself or does he always have to hold the rope?

  • @ThePublic2 It depends on the teacher and if you're ready. During my first lesson, I was never on a rope, but my instructor walked beside me.

  • honestly , that looks a little bit crappy , sorry.

    and It doesn't look happy , but it's very pretty :)

  • Lol

  • Oh, I'm so glad someone has condensed my last 15 years of riding lessons into a 4 minute video! haha.

  • lol the horse stomped its foot.

    

  • wouldnt killl you to loosen that horses reins...

  • @AshweeElizabeth I know right!

  • the heels dont drive the horse forward, you ONLY use the heels if you cant start the horse...

    you drive the horse forward with your lower part of your legs, hips and voice.. all of those movements have got to be invisible..

    THATS the proper way, read a book.

  • LOL

  • The horse doesn't really look happy...

  • The horse is gorgess:)

    But seems a little unwell.

  • That poor horse! It's stomach is irritated!!):

  • What a beautiful horse, great head and connection to the rider, she probably just needs to work on keeping her legs tighter and seat tighter to not bounce too much, if you take your feet out of the stirrups and sit deep in the saddle it will force you to keep the proper seat when in a canter or sitting trot. Other than that I think they looked like they where enjoying each others company.

  • You should sit deeper in the canter and move your hips more

  • great rider but in canter you should properly sit on your bottom in the saddle

  • whys everyone saying things like how to ride a horse (when you searched this up 2 learn to ride a horse...)

  • beautiful horse and excellent rider..! but her reins are just to tight! sometimes i ride wih no reins or stirrups!

  • uhm the woman is telling the right stuff bud she should get a better horse back rider next time coz the woman on the horse an't riding that well :S

  • first of all in the canter you should not be doing up and down instead sitting down following the horse movement your hips and your back follow the horse so back and foward that movement you shouldnt notice it alot but you should be able to see the movement this could be explain much better in spanish my English is not that good maybe u miss understand me or get the wrong idea

  • Sounds like the camera person needs a windcutter. There's bad wind noise.

  • LOL PRESS 1 :D And 4 ! And 3 XD

  • she is pulling the reins way to tight

  • Beautifil horse

    

  • I have had horse's over 30 years. People are so over the top really! STOP was there a time when you learned to ride? Remember how terrible you was? This young lady has a good seat, under great instuction and safe. I remember a time when I went to GRIFFITH PARK in CA. I had a BLM stud a fantastic horse but a mustang mutt. People was horrible I hated it. I am sorry but my horses cost me as much to keep as anyone elses. And are better trained than most. I hate horse snobs and know it alls.

  • lighten your hands and give the horse its head...you dont have a dope on a rope...trust that horse that he wont take off on you

  • Okeey. Die die da Redet hat ein viel zu enges Oberteil an !

    und die die da Reitet sollte ma im Galopp ordentlich sitzen bleiben und sich niich immer so nach vorne lenen !

  • the horse is beautiful and well behaved but it goes under the left and it is unhealthy for the horse! it is wrong as the rider makes the horse but yes the horse is beautiful

  • that horse is beatiful and wonderful tips what barn is this

  • I LOVE THIS VIDEO!!!!!!!! It's a really good video i really reccomend it! :D <3 because i am a horse person i just enjoyed watching this video

  • yeah well.... ive been riding for 20 years and have trained horses for 10..... who cares. I say everybody just have fun riding and be safe

  • wow the girl in the yellow shirt looks hot, 2.38 i wish i was she could do the same 2 me

  • wow the girl in the yellow shirt looks sexaay

  • @182popeye Wonder if her pussy is juicing up that saddle?

  • @sharx35 um thats a little gross and uncalled for u perv

  • @purplejumpergirl ah i'm so sorry i didn't realise you were older than me! please forgive me :( i shouldn't have "picked a fight" with a person five years older than me! and are you american? the tests and staging is different over there i think, and B or whatever it is is the smae as C+ from what i've heard. from what i've seen 3ft 6 open cross country is pretty good for my age, and i'm not saying i'm the best rider, but i'm not the worst, either.

  • @Bushwocka ya but u dont need to use that languege

  • @purplejumpergirl oh please you're resorting to swearing? don't worry, i've been there, too. when you're just so angry you feel you have to swear. i used to be like that, too, when i was about eight. i have probably had WAYYY more riding experience than you, i got my first pony when i was three and i'm now then so that makes me have 7 years of experience straight off, and i've passed my pony club C+ test, which most people pass at age 13-15. daddy says i'm too young to post vids, so sorry.

  • These comments are cruel -- I wonder how a video can inspire so much rancor from these viewers? The language, alone, is foul and without good manners.

  • @elizabethlaborde You're right. It's because internet is open for kids. And kids say "cruel" things. Kindergarten manners. I think the net or at least Youtube should be from 18 years up. We would have 99% of hate and troll messages reduced, what do you think?

  • u seriously think u can teacher people to ride threw a video using a crap rider?

  • It looks like she's pulling the bit... It looks like the horse is kind of stessed... I don't know much about horses yet since I'm kind of new to it, but shouldn't she loosen up a bit? Or something like that...?

  • @kaiaax3 ya she should

  • @purplejumpergirl

    actually, i don't care what you say. i get it! you are an AMERICAN. so actually, you're just really, really full of yourself. i have my own way of riding, and if you don't like THAT channel backfround, i will change it. i am i do not have an oversized horse, he is just perfect for me, and because i have more than one, i don't HAVe to ride him.

  • Wow. Fail riding. Just.. fail. ._. I don't even ride horses that often and I know that it clearly NOT the way to do it.

  • this lady explains and lectures very well

  • holy tight reins!!!!!! why is she being used to show how to ride!!

  • OMG, how tight r thosereins ???? 

  • She looks like a brick sitting on the horses back... -_- too all of you who ride like this... loosen up and freaking MOVE with the horse! It will make riding SO much more enjoyable and you REALLY don't have to sit like that. It serves no purpose.

  • fantastic rider and a beautiful horse!

  • @purplejumpergirl

    and have you seen my channel background? thats ME, on one of MY horses, jumping 3ft 3 wall in my menage, and that wall was part of the 3ft 6 course my dad had put up for me.

  • @purplejumpergirl

    the videos of me doing this are on my laptop, but my daddy hasn't yet given in to let me put them on youtube. mabe you ride differently from me, but thats the way me and my WHOLE family ride, and i do pony club every wek in the holidays and ride my horses every day.actually, i have pony camp today. just becaused i don't put videos of me on youtube, doesn't mean i don't ride.

  • @purplejumpergirl

    actually your hands aren't supposed to move in canter or trot... that bit, the riders doing right. and don't tell me i don't know, my dad, my neighbour AND my aunt are all riding instructors and i compete on a 3ft 6 open level, and i am nearly always the youngest in my class.

  • that riders glasses scare me. that and shes a bad rider.

  • @purplejumpergirl Calm down. It's just a video. God.

  • That what I said, youre right. :)

  • You mean "How to ride a horse if you're a moron and your trainer is a self-important douchebag." Beautiful horse, love to see him under a PROPER rider unlike these two morons portrayed here. Body entirely too stiff, too tight on the reins and what is up with the leg positions? And THIS is why I don't let people ride my horse - dorks like this would ruin a horse and their mouth in no time flat.

  • Relax bud, Let your arms flow in the movement of the horses neck. If you dont the horse pays for is by having a sore mouth :( I dont know what you're trying to do, wether is tucking the head, or what. Target your pinky fingers and the horse will tuck. (if its trained to) Ease up on the reins.

  • Actually now that I think about it, videos like this show me exactly what SHOULDN'T be done. So they do help to an extent....

  • Wow...I've never ridden a horse in my life but even I can tell that she's pulling too hard on the reins. It's kind of hard to miss the poor guy trying to get the bit out :(

    And the rider looks really..."floppy" in the saddle.

    I hate it when I find videos like this. I'm trying to do research for a story I'm writing but I'm too poor to afford lessons so I can't learn it first hand.

  • i hate the position of her hands and arms. my trainer would back hand me if they were in that postion, lol.

  • @purplejumpergirl

    Youre right, but you couldve said it a little nicer haha

  • Holy smokes, this chick is stiffer than a 2x4!!!! Relax the reins, you're gonna make that horse so hard on the bit it'll hate being ridden at all! And please, for the love of all that is holy, learn how to sit properly at the canter! You're slamming down on the horse's back just as it's rising upward. You're going to damage that poor animal. And to the "trainer", PLEASE RETIRE!!!

  • its funny how much criticism this video is copping, i think weve all proved a point :)

    maybe this video should be titiled "How Not To Ride A Horse".. !

  • heels? really? your transition upwards should be from your seat and aided by your lower leg/heels. if someone had no idea how to ride, this video would insinuate that one digs their spurred heels into the horses ribs in asking for upward transitions. good god who funded these poor videos?

  • let loose of the reins bitch

  • YOU HAVE SPURS. TOES PLEASE!!

  • thumbs up, if you understand that your horse moves, so should your elbows ANNNNND that person on the horse needs a better instructor :P

  • y does everything have to be so proper???? i feel sorry for horses that get rode like that. also ease up on the reins you dont need to keep pulling back after your horse has stopped.

  • @Gleeky613 i agree! i dont ride with a saddle, bridle, any proper gear i just go at it natural and its a more amazing experience then this stuff! This lady is clearly taught to ride as you said in a proper way and not move with the horse

  • @95horselover95 i agree. i ride english saddle seat but our barn is very laid back and when we think its to hot out or too cold to use type of tack we just go bareback. Not only is it a great experience but like you said it helps u to learn to actually move with horse. There for a happy horse and rider. That rider looked like she wasnt even having fun. If she isnt the horse isn't

  • I'm sorry, and I'll probably get -so- much hate for saying this, but I see WAY too many h/j riders that ride like this.

  • Ur pulling on the mouth SO TIGHT!

  • not to sound nasty but when the horse ut his head down he was aking for some loose rein, it was hurting his mouth on how hard it was pulled

  • Ummm..... Better instructer please. This one, can't point out obvious problems =P

  • @judababe456

    i can ! and i've only just srated jumping :) x

  • 0:01

  • wow, look how tight her reins are!

  • i cant stand english riding! that style is just soo uptight. you have to be sooo perfect. Western seems more relaxed and not so rulefull

  • it isnt a bad video.

    but i just cant understand how people want to teach you how to ride a) in theorie, out of a video, even if you never have sit on a horse before and b) in 4 minutes!

    Ive learned my whole live how to ride and to undestand what the horse is saying to me, and i will have 2 learn much more!

    But not so bad at all.

    And please excuse my english!

    

  • really need to get out of his mouth. shaking his head and pawing is telling you, "Hey i'm annoyed your hurting me and get out of my mouth or BACK OFF!" Even with my gelding, whose has just been recently gelded and is still studdy, umm i don't have to get into his mouth that much. WOW

  • GIve a little slack on the reins girl!! Clearly that horse is annoyed!

  • guys , get over yourselfs its a simple demonstration , oviously ur not gonna go buy a horse and jump on and say youtube taught me how to ride a horse, no your not your gonna need training, its just a rough demonstration nothing experienced , leave her alone.

  • It's baffling to me that this is an instructional video. She is such a fail of a rider. And why the spurs? There should be no reason for spurs.

  • Hahha, fail. You're not supposed to leave the saddle in canter..

  • @aaLuvUggsayMalone aha her stirrups are jumping length, duh

  • @aaLuvUggsayMalone if the horse is not warmed up you're ment to, otherwise you will hurt his back

  • @Thatkidwithguns Why would you be cantering if the horse isn't warmed up? That's what's gonna hurt his back...

  • @aaLuvUggsayMalone warming up the canter

  • Saturday is going to be the first day I ride a horse by myself and even I know thats not how you have ur elbows that poor hourse and shes plopping down on that saddle fast and hard....

  • the only way to really learn how to ride a horse correctly is by actually RIDING and taking lessons from a trainer. That's the most effective way at least.

  • The rider has nice legs...

    That and screw off English riders with your humpy thing that you do on the horse. Western is the bomb. That and Australian. If you ask me, English is kinda for pussies

  • @Calaxus Im just now starting and im doing Western.. which is awesome..

  • @Calaxus how so? we only have mane to grab onto if needed...you have a horn.also most of our gaits are at a faster speed...we trot normally none of that jogging stuff also, our canter is a canter not a lope..yes western is nice i enjoy it but you cant jump western the saddle is too heavy and will hurt their back..both english and western are challenging but there are ways in which both are easier than the other. so dont call us "pussies" because its not true. but thats my opinion

  • You cant rely on this video to teach students how to learn. Every horse and rider are different and not every horse can be "slightly kicked". Some horses with the slightest kick will go flat out because that has how they have been trained. So what I am saying is that this video make totally no sense.

  • This rider cant ride! AT ALL!

  • This sucks .... the end

  • they say they want a horse with the right energy and temperment and that horse looks pretty mad to me...you can tell hos ears keep flicking back and forth and pinning them back and her heels arent down and that horse is swishing his tail so he's pretty mad 2 me...take a better look before you choose your "perfect" rider for a video next time lady...and she's bouncing in her seat especially in the canter and plopping on the horses back

  • they say they want a horse with the right energy and temperment and that horse looks pretty mad to me...you can tell hos ears keep flicking back and forth and pinning them back and her heels arent down and that horse is swishing his tail so he's pretty mad 2 me...take a better look before you choose your "perfect" rider for a video next time lady

  • Nice horse

  • u don't ride with your heels, you do it with you're leg?

  • why is she riding with her toes sticking straight out ???? lol

  • good posture? shes not in balance because she is doing a hollow back, the torso isn't in the correct "line of balance". horrible seat and spurs. GREAT !

  • The rider is hot, lucky horse!

  • I got some good information from this. Thanks!

  • This horse Doesnt even cover his Tracks at the walk. lol

  • NOW I CAN RIDE !!!

  • .... Why are horse riders so stuck up? It's like, you make mistakes too. Woah there, bucky.

  • The horse IS obviously agitated. Most people let their horses have a little slack when they're just sitting there like that. Maybe she didn't want the horse moving at all during the videos, but maybe he actually would've been more still if she would have given him some slack.

  • shes holding the reins to tight

  • Poor girl you all are picking on her. 

  • she is an awful rider, cute horse though :)

    

  • what kind of horse is that? its beautiful!

  • poor horse :(

  • Horse is beautiful. But she's not good rider. She's pulling so hard on his mouth. That's why his tail is swishing around so much.

  • wooooow that vid is a fail!!!your PULLING on the reins and your jumpin up and down out of nowhere YOUR NOT EVEN DOING IT WITH THE HORSE!!!and the fat lady in the front telling u how 2 ''properly'' ride a horse dosnt even care that she is doing it COMPLETELY wrong!!

  • she can not ride. maybe jump...

  • OMG stop pulling the reins when in the first part no wonder the horse wouldnt stop moving its head youi could see the bit pulling back!!!!!!

  • the rider doesnt even match what the lady says! the line through the ear, hip and heel only stayed there for halt and walk! the trot and canter was all wrong with her leaning foward and her leg moving all over the place!! and your supposed to sit deap into th saddle in canter when schooling.

  • Wow, you'd better talk fast if you want to teach this in under 4 minutes!

    The rider needs readjustment. Her back is so arched and she's riding too far forward on her seatbones. The horse will never become supple or engage with her seat even though she is very slight. I think his protests, flatness and tail swishing comes from this.

  • thanks !

  • It doesn't seem like the rider's hips are moving WITH the horse. She looks like she is just bouncing up and down.

  • horses are <3 man!!

  • oh and i forgot...you DONT get up in the saddle while cantering. you only do this if you want to jump the horse....geezus...this video is really wrong...folks, go and see a good trainer in your next local riding club. DONT try to learn from this video because most of it is wrong...for the horse's sake, please dont try this at home.

  • lol the girl sits on the horse like a duck with her butt sticking out...no tension at all.....the lady is explaining the dressage seat at first, but THIS is a jumper's seat!! and the horse's head is also in a bad position...he isn't chewing on the bit either.

    THIS is how NOT to ride a horse....!!!

  • wtf, do not flaunt it run, how to sit in a trot and canter, as in the gallop, said is really weird, you should sit back and not forward .. learning to teach first, before you put videos on youtube.

  • your videos are nearly all wrong, get your facts straight.

  • line dances are for fat chicks and queers

  • this is not ok she's to mean with her hand and she have to put her hands up!!!!

  • good teacher, bad pupil! whats up with ur hands all the time?? it don´t looks like riding :D greetings from germany, where the best horses and riders come from :P

  • The horses rains are too tight on its mouth.

  • @TheeShannonHunniie

    sry but..NO, not for dressage! they even might be a little long in canter and trot!

  • she can riding wooow !!!

  • Ok He dislikes the bit, She isn't sitting straight she's leaning forward the ball of your foot isn't in the correct spot and you clearly suck!

  • @CheeseCakeExtreme I agree that her foot isn't placed correctly, but she is taking a light seat which is what most jumpers do in in between fences so as not to interfere with the horses back.

  • thumbs up if you think the rider is hot

  • The rider's WAY too stiff.

  • she's leaning way to much forwards in canter, also she should loosen up on the reins while cantering

  • @RariiRetard she is probably doing gallop.. galop and canter have different postures even though it is same movement of horse. In galop you rise up a bit and you are more 'forwards' lets say, maintaining your balance of course...it is the posture riders take when they jump an obsticle. Canter is the one where you just sit back and remain on the sit. Canter is supposed to be slower to allow you to remain on your sit and not bounce. Galop is more fast and therefore rider rises slightly.

  • how to ride a horse.... sit on it and whip it!

  • @TheRacedaz72 Ok, then I'll sit on you and whip you like a horse? Would you- actually if your perverted like me MOVING ON - like it? how do you think the horse feels?

  • @CheeseCakeExtreme the reason why i said sit on it and whip it was to take the piss out of horse riders coz thats what they do i dint say i would do that coz i wouldnt, i dont hate animals you see

  • as i can see, this is if you're going to jump, not if you're going to do dressage, because then your legs should be more straight and you should sit down in the saddle. (sorry for my bad english, i'm only 14 and from Denmark)

  • when your horse releases, and puts slack in the reins, you dont keep pulling! you let go! some people need to grow brains.

  • Um wow she should probably stop pulling on the rains cuz that horse is aggitated or they should get a new bit because he really doesn't like that. This lady doesn't really explain things well and i don't like the rider. It also depends on what the horse wants and how the horse is set and how it walks not on how YOU sit. I don't like when people teach like this. Just expierament with your horse see what it likes, how they work don't watcha video because every horse is different just like humans.

  • i do hope nobody who does not know how to ride watches this, and thinks they can do it. there is soooo much more to riding than this video. nice to watch, and get an idea by, but not to ride by. the best way to learn to ride, is hands on, with an experienced trainer.

  • at 1:48 she pulls really hard on the poor things mouth. Yeah, she probably should be sitting down a bit more in the saddle. Her hands and legs are also a bit wobbily. But I understand this was nearly 3 years ago. She has probably improved since then.

  • thumbs up if u think she's pulling too tight on the reins...poor horsie...his head was like, wayy pulled back in dat position...it looked pretty tight

  • Her hands are moving way too much

  • Like this if you agree that the girl needs to put the irons on the ball of her foot and SIT to the canter not stand in an almost two point!

  • is he for sale
