  • daisey aint having any of it :) ha

  • aooww... her leg...

  • What a beautiful horse full of energy :P I m glad you didnt gave up and I m sure you will have many more years of joy with her :)

  • she's so pretty, but looks like a pain in the ass! :D good luck and have fun with her ...

  • mnnn pretty dismouth at 1:14 looks like a hard horse to handle XD

  • lol daizey could be my horses twin! im glad youve sorted everything out!

  • Haha I'm glad to see you guys are doing great now! It was clear you should have started off with a well trained horse, but I'm very happy to hear that you have grown into each other.

  • Heeey ! Look,this is really IMPORTANT ! could you please tell me where from did you get this horse ? maybe she`s from Lithuania? because,i think,that she`s the horse that i used to ride,take care and handle. and ofcourse love..:) soo,i really need to know if it`s the same horse. please anwser when you can. thanks:)

  • @IevaKair Do you have any up close photos of your horse? I'm pretty sure she did not come from Lithuania, but if you have a picture I could tell you for sure. Or do you remember any very distinct markings she may have had, like scars?

  • Some people are so stupid o_o Nah I think you did a good job. Well I read the description and if you say you have such a good relationship with her, I think it's great!

  • Why did you run away from her at 0:16 :S other than that you have beautiful and CRAZY mare!! ahaha she reminds me of my monster (:') dont worry emergency dismount is always better than sticking on and possibly injuring you or the horse.... (Y)

  • ;P

  • @arestarjet she didn't "jump" off of the horse stupid she emergency dismounted. Only if you are smart you do that when a horse is rearing or bucking! If you hold on it just makes the situation much more dangerous for horse and rider

  • haha the song fits her :P

  • i want her shes well nice x

  • all i have to say is that i am utterly impressed at the pictures you got! nice!

  • Wow!!! ;))))))))))))

  • Wow!! Smooth dismount! I give you major props :) And I'm really impressed with your determination. Seriously, I don't think I would have stuck it out with that horse. major props.... I'm sure she's a beauty now :)

  • dude your going to kill that horse if you keep doing what your doing. Ever herd of a horse braking its neck well you'll see that soon, plus your not the best rider your going to kill yourself, don't think i know what i'm talking about look at my vids i trained the horse i am riding the one thats bucking and ive NEVER fallen off and trust me he was three times as bad

  • @TheSamick I'd like to know what you think she did wrong in this vid, I saw an accident, a perfect emergency dismount, and an all around untrained horse not being given up on by this brave lady.

    I watched your vid, with biscuit 'bucking' which are little teeny crow hops by the way hardly "three times as bad". I watched you almost run him into the wall head first, twice. I watched you smack his ass to make him behave. A true expert. I hate that elitist horseman attitude so many like you have.

  • I commend you for sticking with this horse and getting a trainer. Ignore those who post the holier than thou opinions. You did the right thing by knowing your limitations and getting help instead of abandoning the horse who also obviously needed help to become a safe riding horse. Had you not done that it is doubtful anyone else would have.

  • I completely agree with your description. Not all horses are perfect little angels. Some horses are just like that, it's them! The comment up there^ is completely wrong. You don't just "ride it out" ,you SHOULD do an emergency dismount (which is what you did=]

    Best of luck with Daizey. Gorgeous horse.

  • OMG!

  • that is a a beautiful horse!!!

  • That would have knocked my confidence so badly, I really admire the fact that you knew you were in too deep and got help. I aspire to having that kind of attitude!

    And stunning horse =D

  • omg that jump at the end...glad he missed you...you still got the horse? dunno when you made your update of the description.

    Understood out of it that it goes alot better now...great job in sticking to it and not sell the horse off as most people would have done who got no experience.

    Hope its a fine horse to ride now

  • @LHaldir Yes I still have her; this description and video were made years ago. As of right now she is a wonderful horse to ride and work with, usually ridden in a simple english hackamore or reple bridle without problem.

  • thats awful

  • That horse is evil!!!!!!! Did you guys even think she would be like that?!!!!! :O

  • Emergency dismount.... hehehe

  • she is very crazy but i dont know about her past. and those are onlyt some of the times she was bad im sure she is a very good horse

  • Wow, beutiful horse, i use to have one who was pretty bad and i talked my mom into getting him for me. But i agree with you that in the end it makes a better rider out of you! :P

  • Beautiful horse. But when she knows that you are "jumping" off her back when shes rearing, shes gonna do that all the time. I think you maybe should let someone else ride her, who shows "whos the boss", then when she has learned to not do stuff like that you can get up on her back. I think you are a really good rider, but you seem kinda afraid. Cause It's like you are ready to jump off cause you now shes gonna do something, and when she fell, you just ran away. Sit up and ride cowboy. :p

  • Daisy is absolutely beautiful. (:

  • My horse was like that I got her and I had no experience with owning a horse but she was drugged and I didn't think of not believing the guy when he told me she was 9 and had training and I ended up with a 3yr old who had only had a saddle on a few times. But today 2yrs later I wouldn't trade her for the world.

  • You have a very beautiful horse...that could win shows...unfortunately, it seems like the better the show horse, the harder to handle sometimes :P

    My first horse was a bear to learn from too...but I wouldn't change my decision if I knew then what I know now :)

  • same Color of horse & name as mine shes a tn walker though :)

  • I LOVE the picture at 1:18 ! Beautiful!

  • I LOVE the picture at 1:18 ! Beautiful!

  • this is simply a good video of bad horsemanship. I hope your trainer was decent. im glad you accepted you werent at all an experienced rider and hired a trainer. most people dont do that

  • lol Your very good at saving yourself for saying you were a biginner. your a quick thinker. better to get off when a horse rears then hold on and have them flip over... i cant say a horn in the chest would feel very nice :/ p.s i think your horse is very pretty, im a sucker for sorrels. hope is all well now and you worked thro those issues. cheers

  • i love this video i have the same truble with my horse

    

  • the foto 1:07 is really cool! :D

  • bad horse hey?? beautiful looking thoo....if it rears or anything hold the reins tight i know it doesnt sound nice but if the reins are short they cant buckkk!!! xxxx

  • @SuperJessmess um short reins when a horse rears is more likely to make them flip all the way over. much rather my horse buck after and i fall off then have them flip and get a horn thro my chest.....

  • bebebebayerrr bababaderborn

  • This horse is so reminiscent of my gelding, he has no fear and he wears the pants, lol we need a trainer.

  • co to za piosenka ???

  • Adorable horse. And I am extrmemly glad that you kept her instead of bringing her back. And I'm also happy that you are not letting idiotic people get you down :)

  • Well, at least she's a good looking mare! Get her some under saddle training, and she'll be good for any kind of showing.

  • Many many horses are really just an accident waitin to happen.....I wouldn't think of getting on a horse if I hadn't spent a week or two of concentrated groundwork, beginning with a good dose of "correct" round pen work......that to me is the quickest, longest lasting and most effective way to gain a horses respect....some say by moving his feet, thats true, but the real deal is controlling his "air" a horse listens intently when he's about out of air....got to be smart about it but it's true !!

  • Don't listen to all the negative jerks out there..everyone thinks they are a master horseman....I 'GET" it. I laughed out loud and the music was perfect.

  • silly horsey ha i rode a horse just like her

  • Awe thats too bad! some horse sellers are just looking to make money and dont think about the wellfare of the horse and new owner, but im very glad you guys are doing better! :D i always love seeing stories like yours! underdog to top dog :D <3

  • jumping off when she rears will train her to do it anytime she wants to dump you....

  • 0:12  STÖRDA människa!!! Förstör hästen. :( -.-

  • this is a horse that is testing you- its learning to get what it wants with acting silly. I am willing to bet she is SUPER smart. This is all learned behavior - this horse learned to act this way to get out of working.

    I do believe you two likely have a great relationship now- with the help of a trainer and some gaining confidence in yourself! Ride on chickie! you can do it!

  • I have been riding for 20 yrs and I too thought I should just ride it out when my horse reared. There comes a time when u have stop. My horse reared and flipped over on me! I broke my pelvis bruised my ribs fractured my temporal bone and had alot of other injuries. This girl got the help she needed and I applaud her for that! You have to know when enough is enough and what you are able to deal with!

  • @1:20 Is just beautiful!!!!

  • Truthfully, while I agree that jumping off was teaching her bad habits, you had to do what you had to do to keep yourself safe. In a situation where a rider is not equipped to deal with a problem herself, she should always keep herself safe FIRST, and worry about the training second. @daisyfields, I think you were totally right to get a trainer: this horse's problems woudl have been too severe for me, and I've been riding for 15 years. Great to hear you and Daizey are well!

  • nice horse but I can see that this horse is very, very young, after what he did on this movie so you should ride in a helmet.

  • Daizey is awesome :)

  • need a bit of respect toward owners there.. LOL

  • My horse rears up every once in a while as well, my advice to anyone with that problem is not to just hold on tight and "ride it out". Quickly make them do a hips over on both sides.

  • What is song???

  • I'm glad that you've made the effort, and gained Daizey's trust. She's lucky she ended up with you instead of some of the other commenters.

    I'm sure that I'm not telling you anything new when I say that the fall in the first few moments of the video really wasn't anything bad. She just lost her footing in the mud.

  • @daisyfields you are soo right just because she wasn,t the best horse then dosen,t mean you can just put the poor thing down. people who say that dont deserve to ride... just pure evil

    Beautuifull horse by the way :D

  • WOW!!! Jumping off the horse.. Hum.. haha.. Not the best idea.. When in doubt ride it out. !!!!

  • @arestarjet That's absolutely awful advice for a rider who had my lack of experience. It can easily get them killed. If you have no idea what you're doing in a situation you get help not hold on for dear life and hope it just stops.

  • @daisyfields Im not an expert but jumping off could also get u seriously hurt or even killed, In the video it looked like she was turning the same way u were, best bet stay clam and dont freak..Ive had plenty of bad experiences with horses and trust, stay clam...Im glad that u and Daizey are doing better, Best of luck with lots to come :)

    Have a Good and Careful Day:)

  • @daisyfields Jumping of could also lead to your horse getting hurt, because seeing something come flying off beside it could scare it and cause the horse to bolt.

  • @daisyfields I agree,... If a horse is acting up you get help or maybe an experience rider will put it in check not just stay on and let the horse try to throw you off.

  • @daisyfields that was an absalutely amazing reaction. oh, and btw @arestarjet, a horse will most likely flip onto you. it was smart to get off. u don't want to get smushed

  • @arestarjet agreed! well at least thats what i think, with my horse, if you jump off when he rears, it shows him that he can get me off by doing it, i just ride it out!

  • @arestarjet i agree since u jump off all the horse has to do is rear and it knowns every time it rear's up u will get off of her so i dont have to ride so it will start becoming a habbit

  • @arestarjet That is very much not true. I and Many, many, MANY other riders too, were taught to do an emegency dismount incase of a horse that you cannot "ride out". Many horse-experienced people would agree that it is NOT safe to stay on a horse that is being dangerous. Horses are animals 1,000 times out size. Thay have minds of their owns, and sometimes, saying on is not an option. She made a good decision and handled the situation well

  • @arestarjet Considering the horse possibly could have fell on her back. Either that or she knew she couldn't stay on so she dismounted. Clearly she knows what she is doing.

  • @arestarjet well, your just a young, inexperianced rider, cause this isnt true

  • @arestarjet emergency dismount, bro.

  • @arestarjet As a person that has had a rearing horse flip over on top of me (which resulted in 3 broken ribs and another 5 cracked, and a back that is screwed up for life) I can tell you that staying on a rearing horse is the stupidest thing a person can do. But if you really want to get hurt, then go for it. See how you like having a 1200 pound (or more) horse land on top of you. Even with the injuries I sustained, I am damned lucky to be alive. Not all people are as fortunate.

  • i no i shouldn't say this but OMG the pics of her going nuts are ABSOLUTELY B U E A T I F U L!!!!!

  • She is a very pretty horse!

    Goodluck with her :) Ignore all those snobby people out there, I bet they dont have a pretty horse like Daizey :)

  • I looked up your other videos and wow. She has come a long way. She looks great jumping too. It makes me happy to know that there are other people out there who will ask for help when they get stuck in a difacult situation. Good for you! Keep it up! one peice of advice, dont argue with idiots, they just bring you down to there level then beat you at there own game :) Ignore the idiots! Cowgirrl up!

  • She looks fun xD haha. But I'm glad there are people like you, who take the time to work with a horse, instead of shooting it in the head or selling it for meat. My first horse was a handful to everyone who rode him. Turns out, they weren't being stern enough with him, and let him get away with everything. From day one with me, I made sure he knew I wouldn't tolerate his antics, and him&I became bestfriends (:

  • Fajny konik, rzeczywiście szalony :)

  • I'm glad that a horse this difficult went to an owner like you who took the time to help her rather than send her back to an auction where her attitude could get her killed. Way to go for you!

  • sweet horse 

  • beauty horse !!

  • you useing a snaffle bit i hope.Is it flat foot soul?That can not grip grownd good will slip.Also after shots they slip like that.I used a curb bit mine was like that too.I was told use a snaffle she is fine not a issue.Ever sence.Another thing balance and if they hurt and get you off.They learn sucess.Mine did not hurt or learn to hate to be ridden.

  • you useing a snaffle bit i hope.Is it flat foot soul?That can not grip grownd good will slip.Also after shots they slip like that.I used a curb bit mine was like that too.I was told use a snaffle she is fine not a issue.Ever sence.

  • i love hoers

  • awwh! What a rebble ! and all that horse needs is some more training and i think that he/she will be a very good western horse ! ur a good rider kuss u can put up with that!

  • en häst med krut!

  • that slip in the beginning looked bad! were u both ok? good for u getting a trainer and learning by the way (-:

  • that last part was close!!!!!!!! oh and by the way 1:21 is beatufil

  • no thats not it at all its poor training i raise and breed thoroughbreds that is all poor training not enough ground work she letting her get away with to much

  • you put up with her so well..she is a very cute mare!

    glad she is better!

  • For some one who didn't know what they were doing, i would say you have some raw talent and i am glad you are going about it the right way and getting help with the mare. Sit tight and have fun. I wish you the best of luck. Rearing is not an easy thing to deal with.

  • Very beautiful horse^^

  • haha soo cute!! with beauty comes attitude!! haha i love it ! :)

  • dont let people put you down..they are all wrong. I think you are a great rider even though i dont know you but you videos show you are

  • @auvencetri Honestly, cursing out a horse because of how human raised her? That's about as low I've seen anyone go. Do everyone a favor Auvencetri and kill yourself already.

  • @DiamondNotch Not very nice to tell people to kill themself... just because she sounds like an idiot.... if a crazy horse can become a normal horse again then there is hope for people like her as well.

    We just got to think positive... right?! O.o

  • @auvencetri you sound like the cold hard bitch. horses should kick you. you deserve it.

  • Sommige paarden doen nou eenmaal soms een beetje gek mijn pony kan soms ook een goeie bokkesprong geven ik weet niet hoe oud deze pony is maar ik vind um te gek maar ik heb respect voor je dat je zo durft en dat je afstap terwijl hij steigerd!

    xxxx

  • im just wondering was this horse abused by a past owner??? it seems it

  • On time 17 seconds when you ran, you were supposed to get back on, he didn't misbehave but you don't want him or her(the horse) to get to know that he/she(probably she from Daizey the name) they can just buck or rear with you or someone else that she/he gets her way. Just some advice. I had a sassy pony when I was a little girl.

  • OK to all you people who bitch about what she is doing wrong read the info before you decide to get type happy. I am sure she knows what she did wrong and she does not need you putting you 2 sense in. i think you did a great job sticking with her and realizing that you needed help and got a trainer

  • When I first got my horse belle, she would rear when longing her and whenever she felt scared when I asked her to do something. Like I used to work her on a critter(fake cow) and she would rear. But she was my first horse and like this owner I didnt know much. She doesnt rear now cause like this owner I learned from a trainer and I think some ppl should think about what they comment.

  • she beautiful

  • @daisyfields..... Keep up the good work.... if this horse wanted to harm you it would have done it by now.... I have been around horses for over 30 years and have had 2 horses that have been taught to rear. Its an awsome feeling when your on a horses and you ask it to rear up.... by looking at that video seems to me you have a very playful horse....

  • @ Equinoxka, I agree with you at 25 sec-28sec she is queing the horse to rear, but as her description state she does not know what she is doing, therefore it is highly likely she did not realize she had given the cue to rear and the horse may have been trained to do this prior to the horse being sold to her. The only thing I can see that she has done wrong is made a video for public viewing and implied the horse is crazy

  • @b1fama The name was actually for a few horse friends who knew us since they used to joke about it all the time, I made this video so they could get a few laughs, not knowing how widespread youtube was at the time, otherwise I would have used photobucket.

  • @b1fama Could you tell me how she is queing her horse to rear?

  • @hltrhrs45 not really my thing but I have seen it in 'natural horsemanship" videos, the trainer raises their arms/lounge/whip and up the horse goes. I prefer to train the levade as I find it more beneficial than the rear but each to their own, if I lift my arms my pony bows down on one knee for me to mount her, I trained it that way because my right leg was crushed in an ATV accident making mounting normally somewhat difficult Lol

  • @b1fama PLease tell me how you think she is queing this horse to rear...what by lifting the lounge line onto her arm?????

  • @b1fama How is she giving the horse a que to rear.....all she did was move her arm. The horse was only acting stupid.....

  • You did the right thing by realizing you needed help with this one and got it. I've trained horses for over 20 years and am glad you slid off when you sensed the potential of being flipped over on. Ignore the critical posts from 'wannabe's' and never 'were's'.

  • hmm, you teach her rearing a then you're surprised that she's doing that also under the saddle?

    Agree that dismounting solves nothing only teach her how to get you off.

  • @Equinoxka And where might I ask did I say I taught her to rear. it would behoove you to read the video information before you look like a jerk and an ass.

  • @daisyfields I have read the video info. I have a few friends amateur parellists who teached horses rearing from the ground (as I can see at you video!) and those horses now do rearing anytime they wants to. So I thik that people shouldn't train horses to rear before they are sure that they can controle it when riding.

    If you didn't train your horse to rear the I apologise to you but it looked like that.

  • @Equinoxka Just because a few freinds of yours do something does not mean a complete stranger does the exact same thing. She started rearing on her own because of bad previous training and handling.

  • Dismounting her while she pulls that rearing up crap just teaches her a trick to get you off here back. Don't do that again, just hang on for the ride. She is or has tried everything to get you off of here back. I hope that she does not do this again. The more times that she gets away with stuff like that the more times she will do it again. Horses are generally lazy and will do anything to get out of work, remember you are in control not her. Always remember that and she will learn that

  • wow, shes a beautiful horse. after readin the descript, i gotta go watch your other vids and see her progress. lol glad you didnt send her back to auction!! makes you wonder what happened before you got her.

  • wow, she is very pretty :) good u didnt get hurt lol, i just think she is excited to be ridden, like any horse is. Its good for a horse to buck, its there way of proving something, it could be like there happy or the girthis pinching or anyting. (: this vid is good. As an owner and rider of horses i think ur a pretty good rider,

  • This video was sooooooooooooo cool!!!!!!!!!!!! And your horse is so cute!!!!!!!!!!! Oh and don't listen to those people they are so stupid they don't even realize that there horse is almost going to die because they are whipping there horse to death!!!!! But cute horse!!!!!!!!! You are a great rider!!!!!!!!!!!!! 

  • I give you a thumbs up for staying with her and sticking to her. Most people won't have the guts for doing that. Cause I have heard of some people who would sell a horse like that cause they say its 'crazy' but to me looks like you can handle her. :]

  • @jumpingchamp

    Your are soooooooo right!!!!!!!!

  • hey,...he just has a strong personality,..horses are like your own kids,..would you beat to death or sell your own child,..if he would be a llittle nasty?ihh,..KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK,GIRL!!!!

  • at 1:32 that looked scary

  • It's great that you kept her :]

  • Ive ridden many different horses and theres always that on that wants ya off. Im 15, i understand. Missy is my performance horse and before last summer, she hadnt been ridden in 4 YEARS!!! i got on her and she did the exact samething, rearin, buckin, and she a retired show horse. shes 18 hands tall and i had to keep gettin after her. its a horse thing, you know youre gonna hurt around horse, its gonna happen, its just when and how bad. its the beauty of horses...how tough are you???

  • never get off when a horse rears! thats teachign it BAD habbits. your a good rider, just lean forward them make her go in a circle if shes doing that she cant rear

  • @gobarrelracing

    EXACTLY!! gettin off when they go up only teaches them:

    "Oh, when i misbehave...they'll get off."

  • whoaaaa. the last clip was lethal. o.o

  • I completely understand what your going thru. When my mare gets hot and wants to run and i dont let her, she rears up with me so high that i almost roll off her back.

  • Wowww. She's beautiful.

  • i can deffently see she NOT a kids safe horse! :-P lol

  • WOW!!!! how big is she?? cause when she rears she looks HUGE!

  • Cute horse!!! what breed?

  • I wonder what happened during this mare's life before she came to find you. If I understand correctly and the training went well I must say congrats and thank you for not throwing away horses that actually have a chance. Most horses like that end up in bad places. I got an appaloosa when I was a young trainer that had ...we will say... trust issues after the previous owners beat him up pretty bad. He would do all sorts of things to "protect" himself from me. He though I was dangerous too..

  • omg i loveee your horse...even though she was being a pig shes sooooooooooo cutee...is she better now?

  • Nice music!!!!!!Fav song!!!!!! My horse Dakota is crazy like that too!!!!!

  • ya i agree at least try to stick it

  • Everyone! We have had times like this where we have horses that are acting bad, and we get scared and just jump off (ect.) just cuz we are scared, So give her a break! This is the hole thing about horse training! Or riding training!

  • Well horses are like that some times. You just needed to not jump off every time the horse did some thing bad. Your a great rider though.

  • i like that horse

  • Good for you girl!!! I like the way you've worked it out when she is just about to rear!!! Dismount...................cle­ver you, and well done for persevering x x

  • she's not "crazy," she's naughty by knowing she can get you off by doing naughty things like that.

  • beautiful horse... glad you took the time and got the help you needed... Im sure it was worth it... good luck !!!

  • I think she's gorgeous! Definitely worth keeping around =).

  • @JessesGirl938 I've never had billion dollar show ponies, nor do I now. Took my first pony nine years after owning her before she actually calmed down. Until she was 22 she'd take off down every road/path possible.

  • Haha Nice Dismount Off Her Near The End She Is Stunning And Acts Just As My Pony Haha Lol :)

  • There are too many nice horses out there, you dont have to put up with that,

  • Lovely horse!

  • omg thats crazy lol!!

  • I've never met a horse with human problems Just human's with horse problems there's only three things Horses have 1 medical 2 respect 3 communication

    and all three we create

  • dont worry bout what everyone is saying, that horse obviously had alot of bad habits and many ppl wouldnt have bothered, ur great for keeping her and getting help and i bet shes a different horse now.

  • а как называеться песня? 

  • shez a pretty horse :)

  • what a pretty horse. I'm so glad to heard that you two are doing great! Does she still rear up like that or has she stopped?

  • ouch! he almost got you at 1:30!

  • your horse is so beautiful.

  • Wow you were pretty lucky in that last shot, I thought she would jump right on top of you...

    My horse was just as crazy as yours was. One time we even slammed backwards together. Since then whenever she reired to high I would jump of. Because I never ever want to end up underneath a horse ever again, that hurts :P

    2 years later whe're doing great, just like you two are. I think it's great that you didn't give up, she is a really beautifull horse!!

  • wow, she is really beautiful! :D im glad your both doing well :) what breed is she?

  • She's a horse! She got her own will. :) You're right, nobody should beat their horse. You wrote that you ride bareback and bridless on her, so you did a very good job with her. In a few of the comments people say it was wrong to jump of. But i think it was the right thing to do. :) Better to be able to get up again and keep working with her then having to go to the hospital. :)

    I'm sorry for my bad english. I'm swedish, but i hope you understand me. :)

  • she is actually an extremely nice looking horse :D

  • just needs chestisement! thats all she doing it because you guys let her not saying beat the hell out of her but till she understands who feeds her and take care of her shell continue to act up!

  • super belle ta jument elle a une bonne tête et un bon caractère ^^ continuer comme sa

    pi els autres qui chialler arreter de vous prendre des super connaissant sur tout c'est SON cheval fermer la dont elle est mieu placer que vous pour savoir se que elle et son cheval on de besoin non ? :)

    Bonne chance a toi et ta jument

  • il est magnifique

  • I am not criticizing, but isn't jumping off the horse when it rears up teaching it that that's all it needs to do to get you off it's back? I used to have a horse that reared up also, it's not fun when they do it, always afraid they'll be dumb or lose balance and go over...is that why you jump off?
