Beginning Horse Riding : Horse Riding Command Pressure

[Hrr9271]

At our stables we ride in a very relaxed Western way, the pressure from a leg will either make our horse take a right or left turn(We mainly ride in a fenced off ring going in a circle shape the whole time and not breaking off into the middle) but i think riding in this manor would be very interesting!

"To what we call a spin." She said. Me: "Oh, really? Because I thought you would call it a triangle!" Gosh! ....

@rodeosabuseanimals: I have instructed hundreds of beginner riders of all ages. Believe me, lesson horses suffer far more from the kids than from adult beginners! I've also found that my adult women students learn at a rapid pace compared to my adult men students and young (little kid) students. Of course, it is such an individual thing! Some people are just more coordinated, take direction/correction well, and have a way with animals. Other people... not so much!

[rodeosabuseanimals]

Beginner riders should only be children , all these cranky middle aged women border line menopause who start riding should take Tennis because there is no hope for them only suffering for the horse . and that my friends is the truth that you want to say it or not

@rodeoabuseanimals

What, are you some PETA member? Wow. That's such a rude thing to say. Maybe some people weren't as fortunate to get lessons as a child. And besides, a horse can take more than what your liberal mind thinks it does.

@rodeosabuseanimals wtf

[hors3crazy]

im pretty sure we all were horrible riders to start off with and you guys dont need to complain about what shes doing wrong..

[WesternRider505]

REINING everyone and u do use both hands with reining all tho some may not but most do. And yes she is novice so no need to freak out and correct every little thing.

[no4go2]

What chemicals are you smoking? Its an embaresment to use two hands when reining. what you are is a product of an english instructor teaching a western event.

Anyone here that thinks I am wrong first go to a rodeo look for the guy using 2 hands. hell look on the videos.  reining or any other western disipline is one handsed. Had to be since you needed the other hand to work the gun, lariate. or whatever other tool you needed.

Don't argue with me just watch all the pro's anywhere.

[beanielady1369]

I can't help but notice you go from video to video telling everyone what's wrong and what's right. You don't even OWN a horse, yet you claim to be an expert that lives in the mountains 6 hrs from civilization and you are as qualified as any vet so your "horses" don't even get cared for. What type of inadequacy are you trying to account for ? Surely you don't have 30 yrs experience, as it is obvious you are just a little girl, with a lot of stories and crap, but no true knowledge and no horses.

[beanielady1369]

This of course, is in response to NO4GO2 who hops all over you tube vids arguing with everyone and telling wild stories about she lives in the mountains far from civilization and her dad knows so much about horses they don't need a vet. For the love of your horses do not take advice from someone like this, who would deny thier animals basic or advanced medical treatment because they think they know everything. Anyone that buys a horse should take the financial responsibility that comes w/ it .

[muellermay]

Dont judge people when you arent even ride western. Young horses (like here) are trained with hackamore or snaffle bit with two reins. Only the senior horses are ridden with bits and single rein. So the pros use only 1 rein, youre right. But most are not.

[bandnerd9108]

perhaps the horse was originally trained in the english style, and so they continue to use the english reigning technique with this particular animal. i've seen it before, and there's certainly nothing wrong with it as long as the horse is enjoying itself!

[0purple0oranges0]

@no4go2 yes and no...i know what you mean about one handed but she is a beginner and should start out with 2 hands like most of us did.

[bballrocks6]

@no4go2 Will you just shut your mouth, And stop Argueing with people, and making conflict.. Jeezaz, get a life, and if you havea ll these horses why teh hell arent ya;ll out their riding., like all us horse riders are..

[skymcline60]

its a novice rider u cant complain bout evry lil thang that is rong

[neverletgo1912]

she needs to tighten her reins and lower her hands so the horse knows that shes comfertable and compitent :)

and she should also move the styrups the the very front of her foot, like near her toes, :D

[neverletgo1912]

well im sorry, but i wasnt judging.

im just trying to help, we are all begginers at one point. and im still at school so dont you go telling me to learn how to spell :)

[9yrhunterjumper]

the riders hands are horrible!!!

[AnimalLover2456]

isn't horse riding (western anyways) with one hand??? and i do agree

[9yrhunterjumper]

yes lol

[AnimalLover2456]

but some people are more comfertable with one hand so they do it and it looks like she is tugging the riens

[0purple0oranges0]

u dont hva to use one hand when your just learning...but ya when u show ur useing one hand is what they expect

[Neonaxii]

Yes it is. English requires two.

o-e Not sure why she's doing that.
