  • This is my favorite video for why equestrians are badasses. I am so happy i found this video it will be in my favorites forever. forever. forever.

  • this video fucking sucks. im mad that i stumbled this

  • that is amazing!

  • lol this happened to me in a horse show... but after 3 jumps i was falling so my fix was to halt and i ended up placing

  • That was pretty awesome :DD

  • this is AMAZING. <3

  • she didnt even try to find her stirrups lol great rider!

  • @horses4life16 agreed! she's like screw thissss XD

  • I love how the horse got mad when he knocked down the jump... Haha

  • @maddiekramer8 to tell u the truth thats exactly like the horse im leasing, i think its because the rails r pretty heavy and its kind of a shock to the horse and then he decided to take his anger out by bucking, atleast thats what the horse that i rode did

  • @dantejumperful Haha yeah, my old horse used to do that sometimes!

  • @maddiekramer8 I just hope my horse that is coming home from training camp soon wont be that way!

  • @dantejumperful Haha yeah! It makes it so much harder to go around a course!

  • Her lower leg barley moves. I'm so jealous O.O

  • She jumped without stirrups AND with spurs. now that takes skill!!

  • looks she dropped them on purpose, and that was a beatitful ride!! and what a cute horse!

  • She is SO much better than like 65% of all the olympic riders!

  • She's a great rider! Im sure it didnt bother her at all ;) besides the fact that she then had the stirrups flying everywhere ;)

  • thats skill

  • Pathetic crowd for not going wild after that brilliant performance!

  • amazzing rider!

  • Dang! That takes skill.

  • amazing but it did look a bit like she took he feet out of the sturrips to stop the horse bucking :)

  • She is pretty good!

  • beautiful horse really nice, good rider too :)

  • All i can say is... wow. She is a brilliant rider. Even when the horse was bucking she held his head up and some of those take offs... what spring! I see nothing wrong with this video, her riding was excellent. she never took her eyes of the jumps, that is focus and dedication right there

  • That had nothing to do with luck, that was complete skill. If she was not confident in her riding, she would have pulled that horse up when she first lost her stirrups. My trainer rides me constantly to ignore my stirrups if I lose them and just ride like I know how to.

  • SHE DID GREAT! HE WAS RUSHING AND SHE WAS TRYING TO SLOW HIM DOWN BEFORE THE JUMP. HIM RUSHING MADE HIS TIMING OFF THAT'S WHAT MADE THE RAIL GO DOWN. AND WHEN SHE WENT TO SLOW HIM AGAIN ON THE OTHER SIDE HE THREW A TANTRUM AND BUCKED. TO NOT ONLY GET HIM BACK AND FOCUSED BUT TO FINISH WITH THE REST OF THE COARSE CLEAN WAS AMAZING ITSELF LET ALONE WITHOUT STIRRUPS! THE CROWD SHOULD OF BEEN GOING WILD!

    BRAVO! BRAVO! BRAVO! BRAVO! BRAVO! BRAVO! BRAVO! BRAVO!

  • Amazing talent and balance!! Great job!!!

  • Damn, that's some good riding

    

  • well done you have talent <3

  • ...and that children, is why we have to do no stirrup work! wow amazing rider to make it round with the horse so wound up, let alone without stirrups!!!

  • Good on her... I wouldn't fallen off at the first jump, never mind the first buck.

  • if that was me going round that course, I would have fallen off purely because I did a turn with out my stirrups! :O Yes,I am that bad! but It was really well ridden :)

  • Wow!!! That's wo sad, but she's lucky because then she got to go the whole round without her irons, and THEN she fell, luckily out of the ring....and I bet she impressed the judges!!

  • omg i bett that was so hard

  • he was mad bc he knocked a rail but it did not help that she was hanging on he's rans

  • @jnrredman The rider wasn't hanging on the reins deliberately. By keeping the horse's head up he can round his back less and the bucks won't be quite as un-seating; I think the rider rode that course like a true equestrian. It's clearly not an easy horse. Also, not being mean, 'reins' is spelled with an 'ei', not an 'a' x

  • @jnrredman - NO, SWEETY HE WAS RUSHING AND IT MADE HIS TIMING OFF. THAT'S WHAT MADE THE RAIL FALL. IF YOU WATCH IT AGAIN YOU CAN SEE HER TRYING TO SLOW HIM DOWN BEFORE THE JUMP. AND SHE ALMOST GOT HIM TOO. THAT'S THE CONTACT ON THE REINS (IF SHE HADN'T SLOWED HIM DOWN ENOUGH IT COULD OF BEEN A REAL DISASTER.) AND THEN AGAIN AFTER THE JUMP HE CAME OUT TOO FAST. WATCH IT YOU CAN SEE IT! ~:0)

  • wow

    

  • was she disqualified?

  • @sassygirl919 No she was disqualified because she finished the round (passed the timer).

  • @bullfaceone why would she be disqualified for finishing the round? im confused...

  • @prettyponybaby2007 she wasnt disqualifed because she fell after she finished

  • @bullfaceone Sorry, I ment she was not disqualified.

  • @bullfaceone why would she have been? :L

  • he's mad cause he knocked a rail. poor horsey.

  • awesome rider!! I would've fallen when the horse started bucking :P

  • greatt rider!!

  • Amazing

    

  • It stinks she fell off right at the end after all of that!!!

  • That was amazing! True talent! :D

  • The horse is an amazing mover

    

  • she's a good rider! and the horse is lovely!! :D

  • mt friend bought a pony from her, she has nice horses! i guess this one was just a little gate sour(:

  • you go girl

  • wooooooooooooooow thats awesome i cant wait till i start jumping without the sturrips o and by the way there not called irons there called sturrips lol but any way great VID :D

  • @jasminebenson36

    They are called irons actually. By many. It's just another name for them. (:

  • @moonvalleypc no she didnt. she passed the finish line.

  • wow that was awsome its good to b able to ride without sturrips for that very reason

  • im just wondering did sheg get aliminated because she fell at the end or not?

  • @moonvalleypc no because she had finished the course and was technically out of arena she would have only been given the four faults for the pole the horse rolled :)

  • amazing improv!!! Thats sooo great!

  • good for her. she worked with what she had and just kept going. thats what our sport is all about!

  • haha she did awesome.

  • That right there is raw talent. She is an incredibly talented rider with an immense amount of patience and calm. I envy her ability to keep the horse under control, and complete the course like a pro. I know they judges probably didn't give much respect for the fact that she managed without irons, so they didn't let her win (that's just me guessing) but I sure hope she did!

  • @TwinkiesCanFly its jumpers, it doesnt matter how you ride, as long as your on cours, clean (or minamal faults) and fast. if it were hunters it would be different.

  • @tuyry1 I see! Well that's really cool - do you know if she won? I don't compete a lot so I don't know a ton about this stuff - good to know though (:

  • i bet that horse was thinking... "damn, i messed that jump up. i knocked a pole over...im pissed right now so im gonna buck

  • even though that horse bucks, i want it

  • the 26 people who didnt like this video are just mad because they cant ride without stirrups. they also might be the people who got beat by this girl

  • Wow what a good rider, I'm jealous.

  • Wow fair play! Pity horsey was so unforgiving at the end!

  • iv done that... dont have it on vid tho.. it was my winning jumper ride xDDD

  • if it wasent for the strups moving around i wouldent be able to tell she lost them!

  • i cant ride that well WITH stirrups!!

    well done amazing riding!!

  • Was this at Del Mar before the covered ring was built? Anyways- This rider is SOOO good!! You can tell she works really hard without stirrups in her lessons and stuff. Man that horse has a wicked buck! Great job :)

  • amazing riding! Was this del mar?

  • this girl is such a great rider so much balance

  • Wow :)

    THAT is trusting your horse...

  • Wow :)

    

  • wow what an amazing ridder! nothing phased her at all! so much tallent!

  • this is utterly amazing :|

  • WOW!! she actually stayed on until the last second!!! wow i could never do that lol i'd fall right off lol

  • whaaaaat!!!! 1st prize ladies and gentleman!!! that is an amazing rider!!!! not many people can jump as high as she did without stirups and do it so well. her leg is so firm and i barely even saw it move even without irons!!! great ride!!!

  • amazing rider....just wow

  • @LetsFlyOnceMore Of course it is talent. You don't get to that level by not being talented, lol. She did it wonderfully :) x

  • Why was the horse bucking in the first place I wonder....nice ride, regardless.

  • everyone using spurs should have a seat like hers! could you imagine if she was faffing for stirrups or jabbing the horse every stride cause she couldn't balance herself?

  • oh my goodness she is amazing!!!

    

  • HOLY CHIZZ! That is amazing. What an amazing seat!

  • Her riding is extremely good! The horse was bucking extremely mean, and she sat it out. The fact that she does the rest of her course withouth the stirrups is just amazing. The horse bucking again at last is just evil, she can't sit it out without her stirrups. Well done though.

  • shes got a great seat! couldnt she get em back?

  • @BettyG201097

    She probably could have but It may have just taken too much. sometimes my horse will get weird with me shifting around trying to get my stirrups. she obviously doesn't need them anyway! amazing ride!

  • what an amazing seat to stay on for most of that with out stirrups, and also while the horse bucked

  • Wow! What an amazing rider! well played!!!

  • Wow! She is an AMAZING rider!!! I wish I had that good of a seat!!! :D

  • Yeehaw! That was impressive!

  • oh wait. my fault. she loses stirrups xD

  • so i'm the only one who cans see the stirrups apparently

  • Noow that's a Real Rider...

  • this happened me once ! :P but it was only on the last 2 jumps of the course and i just about stayed on, i would a never stayed on as long as her :L fair play

  • haha nicee :) i dont think the horse liked the spurrs haha and so when ur trainer makes u ride without sturrups haha stop complaining about it!! :) cuzzzz thats why :)

  • I bet she superglued her breeches to the saddle! XD

  • I LOVE that she just keeps riding. I think I might have fussed around for my irons and lost focus, but not her. Well done.

  • every rider should be able to do that! ... it shows independence of the seat.. half of us riders depend to much on our syrups to keep us balanced..

  • she is so good !!!!

  • I think I use to ride with her

  • Wow she is probably the best rider i have ever seen! :) I wish i could jump like her haha. Good Job!!

  • wow that takes an incredible rider to be able to finich thier course that well without stirrups! good job!!! :D

  • Is it just me or did she do better without her stirrups... then with them??

  • I would have not only lost my stirrups, I probably would have fallen off too:P

    

  • wow :D

  • AMAZING..... I'm with you eventerkatie84...very nice sitting trot. After losing the irons she still had heels down.... i definitely would have been unseated...... Splendid job!!!!

  • did she place??

  • all I have to say is "WOW" My trainer has us jump with out stirrups and I've had a few oops moment's and lost them so jumping without them isn't all that hard. HOWEVER, jumping that high while trying to gain control of your horse? I applaud you.

  • wow! best ironless i have seen since jessica forsyth and ally causky!

  • she is an amazing rider !

  • OH MY GOD!! If she can stay on, over jumps, in 2-point, w/o her stirrups, she is a REALLY good rider(duh). She has a GREAT seat. I wish mine was that good, maybe some day it will be. The only thing I've ever done w/o stirrups is walk, and stay on a galloping horse(I only stayed on because I was riding Western, and held on to the horn fro dear life!!!) Anyway, AMAZING!!!!

  • wow, you did a great job conrtoling and staying on that horse, ha if i were u i would have been very frustrated with ur horse haha.

  • well,isent she just a brave pro rider?

  • @horselovergirl03 - She really can't, it seems that they are flopping around a lot, plus her horse looks like a type that can get eaisily pissed; like when she spurred him. My horse is like that too, if I drop my sturrips and I figit around to get them back he just bucks me off.;) Plus, she had like, a million other things to focus on. :D

  • Sam is an amazing rider.:) Best I've seen since Jessica Forsyth.;) I congratulate you on the coarse! Ihope you won it! This has been my favorite video fora long time, but I lost it somehow a few weeks ago, and I just found it agian this morning! XD

    Everyone saying "She's a bad rider" or "I've seen better" shut up. I bet you can't ride HALF as good as Sam...so go do something with your life haters.

    God Job Sam!! xD

  • The same exact thing happened to me a show but I fell off during the course!! haha great riding!!!

  • WOW my palms were sweaty watching her!! And I was so happy when she didnt fall during the course!!! AMAZING RIDER!

  • well he was sure out of there in a hurry! great ride!!

  • good riding!

  • WOW!!!!

  • the bucking didnt even fase her or the no irons! shes a great rider :)

  • how come she doesn't grab her stirrups when she is riding throguh the course?

  • @horselovergirl03 it would be really hard for her to get them in some cases and if she can ride without them it is easier to do that also, it can put her really off balance to be swinging her feet around trying to get them especially in the canter which could make her fall off she made a great choice

  • haha he was just jumping his imaginary jumps. this is fun to watch. did she place here? just curious, cuz she deserved it after this

  • It sucks that she comes off at the very end, but what an amazing rider!

  • thats what i call a recovery!!!!!!

  • @purplejumpergirl A good rider should still be balanced with one stirrup. I do that excercise all the time.

  • @horselovinfan technically.... you don't need to go around with one or no stirrups.... you should pick up your stirrups when posible! riding with one stirrup is difficult. so is with none. but hey! she did a great job!

  • she still looks stunning.

  • WOW she jumped that course, but then fell at the end!

  • wow, that looked fun

  • amazing riding shame she come off in the end but lovely round! x

  • she toke her feet out of the stirrups because, like me, she has a beeter ride without stirrups.

  • @horselovinfan No it wasn't that. She was anticipating not having any stirrups and started gripping with her leg instead of putting her weight in her heels.

  • how high do u jump

  • Now THAT is what I call a good rider.

  • bloody amazing!!!!!!!!!! this wows me everytime I watch it.

  • whoaaa imagine how good she'd be WITH irons!

  • awesome riding... SKILLS!!

  • woow!! :] amazing much ?

  • oh haha wow that was amazing :D

    that never would have happened if her horse nicked the rain some horses hate touching them

  • That rider has such a fantastic position !

  • That was riden GREAT! i would have fallen the second after i jumped the jumps without irons! you are a great rider!

  • i would have been in the dirt watching the horse run away.

  • omg, amazing horse aside from the bucking and one of the best riders i've ever seen :) i give her major props for that ahah

  • UBER-WELL RIDDEN :D

  • Wow how beautiful!!! Samatha that is exciting!!!

  • great riding!!! and beautiful horse!!!

  • she did an amazing job of staying on .. that horse was giving her a really hard time !

    It was good how she used her feet like anchors when she was jumping without stirrups so it ment she sat really still and quiet in the saddle :)

  • gorgeous horse, beautiful movement! Im suprised the horse didnt freak out at the stirrups flaping everywhere. I know its hard, but she didnt even try to get them back.

  • OMG !!! Your AMAZING Like the best ive ever seen !! :O Xx

  • my seat would be gone after that first buck. She deserves first place, because I bet nobody else in her class could've handled that.

  • wow. id die for that position over the jumps. my horse would be so confused at 1:33

  • is too easy..pretty much everyone has that one or two jump courses where ur feet slip out of the irons..and u have to keep going..

  • @ACSshowjumping1 lol... wait, are you saying what she did was easy? please tell me you aren't.

  • @raisin4 umm no not really..well it is kinda hard..bc ive done it many times when jumping .. but in many situations it is easy.. but no i think it is hard but not very.. lol if it makes sense..btw im not dising anyone here.. :)

  • soft, supple, secure seat. She stayed calm, kept her heels down. there was a time or two she could have gotten her stirrups back. He clearly didn't like to hit the rail - that is good in a h/j - the bucking part, not so much lol!

  • OH my god. this girl is the most amazing rider i have ever seen. that jumping course looks hard enough- and she did it with no stirrups and a bucking horse! wow :)

  • That is such an amazing rider. Her sitting trot was amazing. They are such a great team and its wonderful that she has enough trust in her horse to ride basically an entire course without stirrups. I jumped without stirrups for the first time yesterday and the jumps i were jumping were 1/4 the size of that. She has a great seat and will definately go far with her horse. gorgeous horse by the way.

  • wow what an amazing rider! that sitting trot was totally perfect! She had to do pretty much the whole course without irons. her horse was a real handful. congrats to her!

  • she has amazing equitation and i no alot of ppl woo wod die for tht trot with ther horse!

  • Qué vergënza que alguien con ese caballo y tan bonito trote sentado a esta altura no haya aprendido a tomar los estribos al galope!!!

  • did you see her sitting trot into the ring?!?! that's when I knew she could do any course without irons :)

  • What an incredibly good seat she has! That is equestrian talent at it's finest, people! Instead of stuffing around with her stirrups after loosing them, she rode the bloody course, and did it better than most of us could with irons!

    WELL DONE to her!

    I have to say it as well, it's not fair that she can sit trot that nicely and I can't! Hahaha :) I am beyond impressed, that was a sensational ride! xx

  • @eventerkatie84 thats how strong her legs r
