@xSnowMare That is stupid, I'm sorry. I love dressage and could never ever jump and probably never will, but those horses love it just as much as their riders if not more. There is the silver Olympic Medalist horse McKinlaigh at my barn, he saw a jump and he got all frilly and fussy with excitement and completely perked up, where normally he's so lazy you're lucky if you get a nice walk from him. He jumped our SIX FOOT gate in a tiny paddock,
Continue-- if he'd have spooked out all the horses would have been dinged up, all the horses were completely fine and settled even with him out, when normally they all scream and tattle. So NO that is stupid.
@xSnowMare No actually its not wrong.... its like show jumping but with un even grounds and diffrent shapes for jumps.... and i think it looks a lot of fun but hey thats your opinion....
Okay obviously you don't know anything about horses. There is absolutely nothing wrong with jumping, hunting, cross country, dressage, driving, whatever. Get educated. Seriously.
@xSnowMare Hun, I am sorry but you know nothing about horses if you think cross country is bad. My guess is you are the kind of person who thinks even putting a bit in a horses mouth is abuse, or keeping them in pins, letting them be out in the rain, kicking them when we ride. I putty you if you are, grow up and actually start reading about horses not just watch an ill informed video.
In december i fell of my pony murphy and i broke my wrist cos i was bareback and he bucked :/ ... and tht really hurtt :( i screamed but no-one believed me well they did but i kinda dramatise at little things but this actually really hurt ... so i went to the hospital... :( BTW yor a realli good rider i would of come off! haha x
I remember when I was riding for like my first three years I was like "I feel off twice" "I feel off 10 times" etc... after seventeen times - I totally lost count! XD
@sunchaser89 Yeah it is, isn't it? And that's what you're supposed to do. I have a horse that rears sometimes when he has a lot of energy and just wants to explode into gallop. And if you start fighting with the horse when it rears, both the rider and the horse can get hurt. Better to correct the horse when it has all hooves on the ground again. :)
@takethemakeupoff i fell off my horse and broke my arm that hurt well actually i kinda jumped lol he was about to scrap me off a tree and i just healed my leg so i jumped but the thing is i didnt even hit my arm lol weird
@horselover3860 haha strange, my old pony went down when i was jumping him, which ended up with me flying 3 meters through the air and breaking my coller bone and nearly having to have a pin put in it was that bad :/
I'll have a run of bad luck when I'm getting dumped regularly until I learn how to not get dumped with that particular "move".... horses aren't really that creative LOL...if they find a way to get you off their backs they'll revisit it until it doesn't work anymore....
I don't think you "need" to fall off to be a good rider! I mean, yes, it brings you back to earth and shows that you are riding more difficult horses, but I've been riding and training all my life and I've only fallen off 5 times. Some people are just good at clinging! hahaha.
@claoufaeng You have people who are good at "holding on" and then you have paople who are smart enough to let go and take their chances with gravity. If you hold on to a horse that is rearing you risk the chance of the horse flipping and landing on top of you. That is far worse than you just simply hitting the ground and getting banged up.
falling off is part of horse riding if you have never fell off your going to be in for a shock when you do have your first i think that falling off means your a adventrus rider and even the best fall . . pippa funnel . .ellen W . . .John W and more ! x x
lol im at like 43 now, just in the last 2 or 3 years. haha iv been riding for about 9-10, and the horse iv been riding for the last 2 has been QUITE the spit fire. lol
but i havnt been thrown in months :) she and i are both gettin much much better :D
Gosh if 12 falls makes a good rider then I am AMAZING. I think I've fallen about 50 times in the 8 years I've been riding. I should try out for the next Olympics...
They told me you're not an accomplished rider until' you've fallen off 12 times when I had a bad fall whilst galloping along a beach. My first fall was when I horse reared like that, and I just slid STRAIGHT off, so kudos, for staying on (:
@LilEmmyOx I'm not saying people who fall off are bad riders, but wouldn't it make more sense if you never got the horse wound up enough to throw you as being a good rider? My mum had a REALLY difficult horse and though he tried he never threw her. Broke a few toes though. Just a thought. I don't ride so I'm no expert.
But I really hate it when someone is sooooo cocky and says, "Oh I bet if I rode the horse you fell off of, it would like me way better, and I, unlike you, would stay on." I hate it when people are like that!
I fell off the other week, however I've only fallen off 5 times in 16 years.
I've ridden difficult horses, broken in youngsters, jumped, shown and by god even worked racehorses.
I know when I'm doing something wrong, I'm independent of my seat and can prevent a horse from broncing (Allow the horse it's head with a firm contact, bear weight into the saddle, making it as uncomfortable as possible for the horse) . Sometimes, people are genuinely naturally gifted - or lucky.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
I have never fallen off a horse... because somehow when the horse freaks mi leg becomes tight.. and i do emgerncy circles.. dismounts... and i rode the difficult horse wehen i wasnt ready, and nothing happend.
whether you've fallen off or not doesn't change the fact you ride. i was told that you're not a good rider if you haven't fallen off, but does that mean that the bad riders who fall off all the time are good riders? i think not.
No, but it means that if you've never fallen off you're lacking experience.
It's not possible to be at your full potential if you've never ridden a difficult horse. You just can't advance that way. And people ride difficult horses, they sometimes fall. It happens.
i've fallen off once & it's because i was riding bareback & my horse shook when i wasn't paying attention, lol. but i've never got bucked off or anything & my horse was horrible at shows for about 3 years & i never got bucked off. i don't try to fall off, but i do understand that if it happens; it happens [:
True, because if you don't fall off you start to get stiff because you are worried about falling off. If you get stiff you can break something. So it is good to fall off every once in awhile just so you remember it is not that bad(sometimes) and you are able to be relaxed.
Now this isnt true for everyong, but I think people who have never fallen off are a little more cocky. They just think that they are too good of riders to fall off. I think falling off brings you literally and figuratively back down to earth. And again, not everyone is like this.
yer when i got my horse i rode it for about 6 mounths and never fall off despite her bucking then i started getting worride because i knew i was bound to fall off soon the one day she bucked me off in a spinning circel motion and a smaked straght into the fence (i got straight bk on ) and it made me feel more relaxed when i got bacck on odd but true
I agree, some people think they are good riders because they've never fallen off yet. i'm the opposite. i have yet to fall off (a horse did buck while i was on it, i somehow managed to stay on:S) yet i know i'm not the greatest rider around. :D i'm beginner, and i'm not ashamed of it!
@phantomjumper , it certainly isnt true for me, i have not fallen off in 13 years of riding...i have had some serious near misses, and some incidents where i think i would have prefered to fall off, than carry on, but i think its had the opposite effect on my confidence, as im now quite literally terrified of falling off, and have built it up to be a huuuuuuge thing, when really, it prob wont be, so im far far far from cocky, if anything, prob a bit "too" carefull,
@wiggilywoo yeah I understand. Thats why I said not everyone is like that. I have been riding 8 years, both english and western, and have only fallen off 3 times. Well, only 3 times that werent my fault haha. A few more of me just being dumb or knowing whatever I was doing was stupid and would not turn out well (hopping on bareback with no bridle, halter or anything and making him lope.. lol)
@phantomjumper Exactly. You might be lucky enough to never fall but learning to do so PROPERLY is a good way to go about it. Riding difficult horses makes you a better rider - if you can cope on them you can handle an 'easy' horse no bother.
@piquitokatie i have been riding for 5 years and i have only fallen off once..and i have ridden difficult horses where i have almost fallen off but i have only been like on the ground once.
@Nikki5309 In my 20 years of riding horses I've only been unseated a handful of times. But when a horse has fallen over a fence, or a problem horse has put up a fight, I have broken my cheekbone, hand, jaw, collar bone, neck (twice), ribs, hip, lower spine, ruptured spinal discs and dislocated both shoulders, and oh yes, the concussions and spinal surgery that follows! The pride you have comes before a fall...remember that.
@piquitokatie you're right i've been riding difficult pony's from like the beginning, i started with a shetland that was rearing all the time, i rode him with just a halter and a rope, then an arabian, superfast haha! Now i have Santos and he really is difficult to ride, but i don't like the slow pony's XD it would be nice if Santos would be a little less hyperactive, but he's a special horse and i love him the way he is! ♥ still searching for my perfect horse though btw i've fallen off a lot XD
Infact, faling off makes you BETTER!!! I fell off, and now I know what I did wrong...actually, nothing wrong. But, how to stay on. I was galloping, and a dog leapt out of the bushes at my horse. I fell off, rolling under him, and he trampled me. These things happen.
Why does everyone have to reply to people being ass holes lol. I have to say when the horse reared it looks rather pretty :] =P Rearing should totally be a dressage movement. I was reading the horse magazine and it said dressage was considering it =O
Leave mikyroxsox alone ! Just because she says she dosent fall off means she dosent fall off ! i dont fall off eather ! i have a seat which sticks to the saddle and dosent come off ! just quite being sad basturds and being big headed ok . she said she dosent fall of and she means it so go to fuck if you dont like it ! very well sat , i think the pony is just taken the miky ! x
im not having a go at u r mikyroxsox but what ppl are saying is that she is havin a go at ppl for falling off an it sounds like shes saying that if u fall off u cant ride.
if u dont fall off then whats gonna happen when one day a horse gets the better of you? or u loose balance?
falling off dont mean ur a bad rider, it just means u lost ur balance or made a mistake, weather or not the horse has done something.
ive been bucked off before lol one of the falls wasnt pretty.. the horse stepped on my arm and nearly broke it! but I was only a beginner and it was my fault the horse bucked.
Oh wow mikyroxsox so you "learnt" how to not fall off. Hmm must be riding some pretty damn easy horses then. If you can talk big about how good of a rider you are then maybe you should post some videos of yourself. Of course you won't cause you probably suck! But oh well not my problem. You can't learn how to not fall off, so yeah, you're an idiot.
Yeah you say that you did all this crap on horses yet you have absolutely no proof to back it up. So go ahead talk yourself up, no one believes you anyway. You can talk the talk, but have no proof that you can even ride!
haha you should have TOTALLY gotten a 10 for THAT movement! your seat was perfect and you didnt pull on the horse!! couldnt have been done better! pretty horse and awesome trick riding ;)
LOL....channeling Isabel Werth at Beijing, were we?
Awesome job staying on...have no advice here, other than (duh) keep the forward energy...
I can relate...my horse can do Medium at home but is such an ass at shows that we can't pull off more than 3rd level without having a meltdown in the show ring.
Yes this particually time she probably didn't mean to do it. But people do all the time, and it doesn't show you can't control you're horse. Horses do it when they want, you find out whether you have control if they can stay on and ride through it or not.
well my horse wouldnt stop rearing and everytime he did it i would kick him and soon after he learnt that if he rears he gets hurt so yes you can control your horse no matter what
im blaming both and i do a bit of everything E.G endurance, show jumping, cross country, and hacking....and in dressage you have to be able to show that you can control your horse
ok u never blame the horse. the riders even blaming in on herself which mean that shes a responsible rider. and ur wrong about dressage. it looks like a controlling sport, but its really not. and btw, control is such a bad word when ur doing anything with horses. basically u think ur so smart but obviously there are all these people here telling u wrong soooo that should tell u something.

@phantomjumper , it certainly isnt true for me, i have not fallen off in 13 years of riding...i have had some serious near misses, and some incidents where i think i would have prefered to fall off, than carry on, but i think its had the opposite effect on my confidence, as im now quite literally terrified of falling off, and have built it up to be a huuuuuuge thing, when really, it prob wont be, so im far far far from cocky, if anything, prob a bit "too" carefull,

@wiggilywoo yeah I understand. Thats why I said not everyone is like that. I have been riding 8 years, both english and western, and have only fallen off 3 times. Well, only 3 times that werent my fault haha. A few more of me just being dumb or knowing whatever I was doing was stupid and would not turn out well (hopping on bareback with no bridle, halter or anything and making him lope.. lol)

@phantomjumper
All the best riders fall at least a couple times :P

@phantomjumper Exactly. You might be lucky enough to never fall but learning to do so PROPERLY is a good way to go about it. Riding difficult horses makes you a better rider - if you can cope on them you can handle an 'easy' horse no bother.

@piquitokatie i agree how can u be a good rider if u always ride push button horses, riding difficult horses can make u all the better
tmustang94 1 year ago
@piquitokatie i have been riding for 5 years and i have only fallen off once..and i have ridden difficult horses where i have almost fallen off but i have only been like on the ground once.
Nikki5309 1 year ago
@Nikki5309 In my 20 years of riding horses I've only been unseated a handful of times. But when a horse has fallen over a fence, or a problem horse has put up a fight, I have broken my cheekbone, hand, jaw, collar bone, neck (twice), ribs, hip, lower spine, ruptured spinal discs and dislocated both shoulders, and oh yes, the concussions and spinal surgery that follows! The pride you have comes before a fall...remember that.

@piquitokatie you're right i've been riding difficult pony's from like the beginning, i started with a shetland that was rearing all the time, i rode him with just a halter and a rope, then an arabian, superfast haha! Now i have Santos and he really is difficult to ride, but i don't like the slow pony's XD it would be nice if Santos would be a little less hyperactive, but he's a special horse and i love him the way he is! ♥ still searching for my perfect horse though btw i've fallen off a lot XD

Infact, faling off makes you BETTER!!! I fell off, and now I know what I did wrong...actually, nothing wrong. But, how to stay on. I was galloping, and a dog leapt out of the bushes at my horse. I fell off, rolling under him, and he trampled me. These things happen.

Why does everyone have to reply to people being ass holes lol. I have to say when the horse reared it looks rather pretty :] =P Rearing should totally be a dressage movement. I was reading the horse magazine and it said dressage was considering it =O

im not having a go at u r mikyroxsox but what ppl are saying is that she is havin a go at ppl for falling off an it sounds like shes saying that if u fall off u cant ride.
if u dont fall off then whats gonna happen when one day a horse gets the better of you? or u loose balance?
falling off dont mean ur a bad rider, it just means u lost ur balance or made a mistake, weather or not the horse has done something.

ive been bucked off before lol one of the falls wasnt pretty.. the horse stepped on my arm and nearly broke it! but I was only a beginner and it was my fault the horse bucked.
ArabianHorsesRuleLOL 2 years ago
Oh wow mikyroxsox so you "learnt" how to not fall off. Hmm must be riding some pretty damn easy horses then. If you can talk big about how good of a rider you are then maybe you should post some videos of yourself. Of course you won't cause you probably suck! But oh well not my problem. You can't learn how to not fall off, so yeah, you're an idiot.
No offense of course...

FYI i broke in my own horse by myself cause we couldnt afford one that already is ok so ur the idiot
mikyroxsox 2 years ago
Yeah you say that you did all this crap on horses yet you have absolutely no proof to back it up. So go ahead talk yourself up, no one believes you anyway. You can talk the talk, but have no proof that you can even ride!

You should have said, "Oh sorry I thought there was a levade in this test. No? Well its obviously is far beneath my standards."

I can relate...my horse can do Medium at home but is such an ass at shows that we can't pull off more than 3rd level without having a meltdown in the show ring.

mikyroxsox 2 years ago
yes they do. People make their horses rear all the time, in specific showing they do 'ok i know'
LivieBuckers 2 years ago
yeh but not at shows they dont it shows that you cant control your horse
mikyroxsox 2 years ago
Yes this particually time she probably didn't mean to do it. But people do all the time, and it doesn't show you can't control you're horse. Horses do it when they want, you find out whether you have control if they can stay on and ride through it or not.
LivieBuckers 2 years ago
well my horse wouldnt stop rearing and everytime he did it i would kick him and soon after he learnt that if he rears he gets hurt so yes you can control your horse no matter what
mikyroxsox 2 years ago
Thats not true what the hell!
Not EVERY person can control there horse, if someone doesn't have confidence or isn't strong willed enough.
LivieBuckers 2 years ago
then that person shouldnt have that horse then if they cant control it!

ok so r u blaming the horse? and what do u ride? i hope its not dressage cuz u said "kicked" and "control" which isnt dressage at all
ThudLuvsDressage 2 years ago
im blaming both and i do a bit of everything E.G endurance, show jumping, cross country, and hacking....and in dressage you have to be able to show that you can control your horse
mikyroxsox 2 years ago
ok u never blame the horse. the riders even blaming in on herself which mean that shes a responsible rider. and ur wrong about dressage. it looks like a controlling sport, but its really not. and btw, control is such a bad word when ur doing anything with horses. basically u think ur so smart but obviously there are all these people here telling u wrong soooo that should tell u something.
ThudLuvsDressage 2 years ago
hey i can use what eva fucking word i want u smart ase and how would you know how good i am at riding?
