  • I'm sorry, that really sucks :( I know how ya feel :( I was on a trail ride with one of my barrel horses and her back legs have in (she had arthritis) (she was an older horse) and she rolled over me twice as we rolled down a hill, she hit a tree and i hit her,,, I broke my leg, and broke 3 rib bones IT SUCKS :( Not fun at all! I hope your feeling better :)

  • im sorry that this happend i have my own horse named bart oh yeah by the way my name is amy

  • could of easily have been avoided!!

  • I use a crop on my palomino quarter horse when doing huntseat and or show hack. or when im jumping.. my horse doesnt flip out or even flinch when he sees it. its just a little tap to let him know to move his shoulders . or speed up. he doesnt mind it at all. you guys need to stop putting hurtful coments on here realize that at that young age riders usually blame the horse and never ride again. But she blamed herself and rode him for 30 extra minuites. thats a legend in the making.

  • @KrystalIceStudios yeah but im sure u know how to use it. Giving a beginer an whip and telling them to tap the horse doesnt seem like a good idea. Just cuz ur horse doesnt freak doesnt mean others dont, Mine does idk y but he is petrafyed of them and if u cant get you horse to w/t/c/g with out spurs or a whip then somethings wrong. I can get my horse to do all that just by siting forward and clucking, it might take like 5 or 6 mintues but he does eventuly gallop

  • @1233Maya cool,.

  • Whats the name of this song!? :)

  • She wasn't all over the place but if she had not of had the whip she would have been fine

  • i broke my arm and leg falling off a horse

  • a rider who never fell isn't a rider. that's it.

  • Good riders don't blame their horses. Its obvious to see your a good rider. :) Good on you for not blaming your horse.

  • ok folks just think this is great, but what the h... is the trainer doing in the middle, letting her sitting with reins allover the place, arms up and down, and on top a bigass whip, no need for a whip, but if so, use it right, its in the wrong hand, hitting the horse in ass, no wonder it bucks.

  • what song is this? great video by the way x

  • so cute she does need full credit good job nce you get that cast off get back on start ridding again hope that dosent stop u from riddng(:

  • i also rode and i got 3 skull fractures i know what its like becarefull riding :) hope you are better

  • If you look in his eyes, he is sorry for the world, Same for yours, in the end, i will be a great joke to tell to friends, and Stiltz, This is the good proof between Horse and Human. :)

  • @Selanara omg hi again how come i keep seeing your comments on all the vdeos i watch?? xD

  • @78Willow78 I don't know XD

  • thats a very good video i love your horse 

  • That horse looks a bit malnourished..

  • This was a riding lesson with flapping arms and a flailing stick???? wow...

  • my horse broke my foot just by stepping on it! ouch!

  • hahah, been there, done that, Mighty Might decided he'd try to jump out of the out door arena and ended up breaking mah face. o.o

  • i know how you feel(: i have a wild mustang/ standerdbred .... i was told he was kid friendly.. he bucked me off and i broke my leg and arm. i laid in the hospital through 3 surgeries ... it sucked .... but i couldnt wait to get back on.. i had to get rid of him tho and now im horse less again :/ </3 dude

  • now thats a true rider in a other words a cowgirl

  • Whooooa. You got back on the horse with a broken leg? That's pretty hardcore, and I applaud your bravery, but I think you shoulda gotten it looked at, so as not to worsen the injury! I'm glad you're doing okay and you didn't lose your nerve or your love of horses from it!

  • I know how you feel. I have 3 horses my self. My friend and i were riding once and my friend took a bad fall on my biggest horse Blaze, Blaze landed on her and she was hurt. Almost had a concetion. Thankfully no broken bones! I Think your a real cowgirl for getting back on :)

  • I know how you feel. I was galloping my horse back in September and had a bad fall. Broke a bone in my knee and I haven't been allowed to ride since. I do get to start again tomorrow!

  • I'd ride anyway. :) Glad you're not mad at the horse! True Love! :D

  • @Screamingnightmares . My trainer had me do that too , but only once I had been riding long enough to be coordinated , and balanced enough to handle the horse , and properly ride at the same time. Also it can unseat you (bounce) more if you haven't gotten your proper rhythm yet. Which can be uncomfortable for both you and the horse . :)

  • your horse is skinny did you know that i ant yelling at you but how long have you had him my horse got skinny once when we jst got him if youve had him for a long time and he is not over the age of 10 than he is way to skinny for his age!

  • how old is she?

  • love the song

  • It looks like you havent been riding for the longest time , so why are you only using one hand on the reins ? That can really throw off your balance, especially at the canter. But other than that , good riding , and it's nice to see you out there with him even with your cast on :)

  • @Kiimberly117

    Some trainers use the one arm on the reins as a tool to help you balance. My trainer would have some of the more experienced girls riding without stirrups and jumping one handed. I of course don't know her certain situation, but that's what I'm assuming.

  • proud happy you still care about the horse

  • Ahh, the major downfall of riding... I like the way you ride your horse! When you start again I bet you'll do great!:)

  • One time i broke my hand and wasnt able to ride for 4 months (my parents and doctor wouldnt budge to let me). and i stayed off so long that i stayed off an extra 2 months b-cuz i had just gotten out off riding. now i ride as much as i can.

  • Oh come on, give the girl a break. We were all there at one point. You don't just get on a horse and become an Olympic rider. Things like what happened in this video are what makes you a better rider later.

  • Part of riding is falling off. It makes me happy to see people REMEMBER that and not blame their horses for it:)

  • I know how it feels to fall and break a bone. I broke 2 parts of 1 bone in my wrist. I fell while hiking. Not on a horse because I dont like on a farm,and have horses like I want to. I bet that hurt!

  • Good job, cutie! You are obviously a horsewoman! (And thank you for wearing a helmet. Better your ankle for a bit than your head forever!)

  • Good ride :) What a cute horse. We have all had some bad falls, I broke my rib but i was still able to ride even though it hurt :/

  • OK I've just gatta say... Horses are like magic! I once thought: "hmm... This horse hasn't tried to go to my teacher yet!" as soon as i thoght that he tried to go!

  • I am on the edge of crying :') you two are so sweet together :') <3 x

  • I know how it feels my pony Charlie Brown bucks me off all the time i never broke anything though... Ur a great rider with good posture and amazin ridin skills im glad u got up im sorry u broke ur foot hope u ride again!!

  • Now don't get me wrong, I am not critisiing in any way. But I think you are riding western. You were holding you reins at your hip. You probably lost you balance and control then tumbled,

    good job, you're a great rider.

  • Ouch, my mom just bought me horse 4 days ago, she was supposed to be dead broke. She let me rub all over her, clean her hoofs, and brush her, she just stood there. But, my other horse din't like her. So, while my sister was riding her, she was doing great, till my other horse started pinning her ears and neighed through the fence. My sister got bucked oof, almost kicked in the face, and broke her tailbone in 2 places. Now she can't ride again till next summer.

  • now ya see her....now ya don't ...TADA!!! great trick ..too bad you got hurt.

  • Sorry you got hurt, but you were riding way behind the motion and just flopping along on his back like a ragdoll. you need to have a more secure seat before you go "tapping" a horse with a crop!

  • I know how you feel I broke both bones in my right arm it hurt like #$%@ I could not do much of anything. It was 5 or so years back my arm is still bent from it.

  • Awww Im sorry!! I know how it feels, I broke my left wrist falling off 1 week before my bday, that was almost 2yrs ago, though! I hope you are back to riding, and that your ankle doesnt bother you again.

  • Can i just say something why does the horse look scared to death when your petting him in his paddock....................he looks like hes ready to go nip you............i think the whip was making the horse mad

  • omg u did sooo well! as i can tell u must be a wonderful rider:)

    that fall looked like it really hurt! i bet it did! but im glad u got over it:)

    have fun riding:)

  • this girls needs to get full credit she loves him even after she felt off and broke 2 bones.. best girl

  • @srullyw9 why in the world does that matter

    it was her fault, what did the horse do wrong to potentially be "unloved"?

  • @jeffreyRAWKS12798 I don't think she meant it that way, just that it's a young girl...and normally after a young girl takes a hard fall like that, they're done with horses. Sad, but true. 

  • @AmberElaine0824 Yeah, I know. But when you think about it, if they're so easily put out by something like that, wouldn't they eventually lose interest anyway? Or, if not that, they'd just be one of those kids who does shows 24/7 and hardly even cares about the horse. I know I'm generalizing a lot, but that's what I see from most of those kinds of people.

  • @jeffreyRAWKS12798 I know what you mean, and it's a sad situation. Luckily, this girl doesn't seem to be like that at all.

  • i boke my leg from tripping over a dog, everyone thought it was from falling off a horse but no. i broke my tibia and fibula but i snapped my tibia off the growth plae and took 12 weeks for it to heal, and it is still saw after a year and a 1/2. i cant jump off a horse like normal i need help or on to a wall or crate, i know what it feels like :) my first ride after was bareback, on my first bareback trail ride, it was great :)

  • I broke my jaw in 3 places and ALL of my ribs from fallin off, and getting my foot stuck in the ssterup

  • I think that horse was happy that you didnt ride it... because you abuse it with a wip. Like @widgeasha said, Maybe breaking your leg is karma. :/

  • @TheMeanKittylover2 I ride english and sometimes when my horse gets lazy use the whip. It isnt abuse it is to get the horse started. Excuse me but you are wrong the whip is no torchure tool, u basially tap the horse's hind with it to get it at a pace you want it to be in. It doest hurt the horse, for at least the way i do it i dont hurt my horse. It wasnt karma it happened because it happened.

  • Who hoo finally some WESTERN STYLE WHAT I RIDE! I get tired of english because I get ssoooo jealous of the riders. But I can relate to this :)

  • @widqeasha :You have no idea what you are talking about. First of all, it is called a crop, not a whip, so don't comment on horse videos if you have no experience with horses.And you obviously don't know what a crop is used for...It's made for tapping the horse's hindquarters and shoulders. She was very well balanced and riding extremely well, so you need to get a life. Kthanks. But I'm so sorry about your fall! You are an excellent rider! I hope you had a great recovery and you are riding again

  • OH YA! thats a real horse girl! get out and go see your horse with a broken foot! i got 20 stitches in my foot and got out to see my horse 10 hours later

  • GUYS! IF YOU REALLY SAW THE VIDEO, YOU SAW THE TRAINER!!!! THE TRAINER WOULD NOT HAVE HER BEATING THE HORSE! SHE WASNT BEATING THE HORSE EITHER! IF IT WAS HER FAULT SHE FELL, HER TRAINER WOULD HAVE HELPED HE BY TELLING HER WHAT IT WAS BEFORE SHE FELL! WATCH THE VIDEO BEFORE POSTING STUPID COMMENTS!

  • U fell cuz u were leaning WAAAY too far back!!!!! Geez...

  • hey dont feel bad, i came flying off a running saddlebred (lol) but ask ur parents if they can just sit u up on him bareback, if you dont get back on him the fear will set in, trust mme i didnt want to get on the horse that threw me but my dad made me and 9 years later im where im at now :)

  • @CharismaticKen9 She did say she got back on and rode for another half hour :)

  • @CHEVYedsf haha thats a cowgirl haha :)

  • Do u have any pictures of the xrays?

  • maybe her trainer wanted her to hand gallop so thats why she used the crop thats probaly why!

  • dont know why you hit your horse? you shouldn't even carry a whip. do you need someone to whip you to make you walk, run etc? if you treat an animal kindly and properly, learn its language, you dont need to hit it. maybe you breaking your leg is karma.

  • @widgeasha Some horses DO need slight encouragement to go faster. They're lazy just like a lot of people. Im not saying you should beat the life out of them but a little tap once in a while is 100% fine.

  • @widgeasha some horses need crop to keep moving but i get where ur coming from she was hitting him with it overusing the crop. that horse seemed really froward that a crop seemed unnecessary. she was really good rider though for her age staying on through that strong canter. i know what it feels like to to break/ sprain something and waiting to ride..it sucks!!!!!!

  • @widgeasha Actually she wasn't hitting her horse she was tapping. & its a crop NOT a whip, their different. & crops are made to TAP a horse to get it going, she WASN'T hitting her horse. Its not treating a horse badly its a replacement for the leg if the horse wont respond anymore. If you just sit there kicking the horse to get it to go it loses all its purpose the horse will just completely stop responding to the leg Learn a lil bout the crop b4 you talk shit. & its not karma it just happens!!

  • should you not have the whip in the inside hand?? not sure if english & western are the same haha xoxo

  • What song is this?

  • why are you holding a crop?? for a western horse he's going a little speedy and it probably didnt help that you were flinging a crop in his face, but thats the trainers fault not your, you did an awsome job getting back on!

  • @oXHalfMoonBayXo shes actually going a little slow for a western canter, cause i used to do western, and maybe she wanted him to go into a more strided out canter? cause maybe your right it might be a little fast but im riding a friends horse who is a western horse im teaching him english and hes got a big stride which makes him fast but i make him go faster to get him to stride out. and i didnt even see her do anything wrong to fall. i dont understand how she fell but im with you 100%

  • ive only rode a horse a couple times but never got hurt... i feel bad for u. im scared ill get hurt when i get my first horse when i go to idaho.

  • My horse looks just like that. What breed is he/her?

  • i dont know u...but im sorry about your ankle.....feel ur pain cuz i broke 2 bones in my arm and a bone in my back so i understand!!!!

  • Don't you dare blame the horse, YOU fell off.

  • @hostagemyth I don't think she was... o-o

  • @hostagemyth how is she blaming her horse? at the end of her video she says this was none of her horses fault.

  • hey sep. 15 is my b-day!! i'm sorry about ur ankle. u looked quite sad. :'( But can u ride now??

  • I'm sorry ! I think that horse really didn't mean it. I'm so glad that you didn't blame the horse, or stop riding, your very strong !

  • Ouch, My pony gets close to the fence when im on him so that happens, :L But you could tell he didn't want that to happen, ;)

  • you can tell that horse didnt want it to happen

  • I hope your okay, iW AS IN A HORSE ACCIDENT LAST YEAR THE HORSE FELL ontop of me in the middle of a jumping lesson /:

  • i love this song! whats it called?

  • @TheEquestrianQueen stand by rascal flats (:

  • wow!!! you must be really strong because i would of been a baby and cryed! that must of hurt!!! :0

  • what is this song called?

  • did you get somone else to ride it for a bit ?

  • What happened? Did u loose balence and come off or was it the horse going 2 close to the wall??

  • @tieshie74 It looked like she kinda lost balance.

  • this is one of the down sides of western riding, not saying its bad, its a great relaxed way to ride and bond with your horse but that loose relaxed bridle doesnt have the controled position as an english bridle, so when a horse makes a mistake you panic, as your bridle is very long you cant get the control you need :'( great riding by the way

  • @1002Lollipop That's why I wanna learn how to english ride, I can walk and jog on an english but I wanna go train to learn how to trot and canter and gallop on english, I did it on western though.

  • OMG! r u okay that must of hurt sooooo bad i know someone who did that before, they said it hurts like crazy, glad ur kk now tho

  • Omg I hope ur ok how old are u see I'm a barrel racer .. And trust me I have been hurt and I glad ur ok

  • Try feeding less grain and more vegetable oil :)

  • Awww I fell off last November braking my upper right arm. How? I was playing tag with my 2 teachers and barrel racing. Then took a sharp turn when the saddle slipped off. :'(

  • you look good on your horse

  • my dad has had much worse i have much worse and i think i would not want to give it up it ismy life and gets me through alot and no matter what that is what makes you the rider that always improves good job your horse looks exactly like mine

  • glad u got back on! i recently fell from a canter right into a fence and landed on my tailbone 5 days now still sore but right after i fell my instroucter (sp) helped me get back on but i didnt have stirups so it was harder

  • Ouch i've been riding horses for a while and i haven't fell off yet... does it hurt when you fall?

  • @Guineapigluver13

    Depends on how bad your fall is really, I've landed on my feet quite a few times, fallen on to a 2' 6" jump and twisted my foot in the stirrup (It didn't hurt) and landed on my ass god knows how many times :') But one of my friends have, Cracked her ribs, fractured her wrist twice and she's been kicked in the head (The reason why you wear riding hats!) She mad a full recovery from everything and she's still riding! ^.^ One of the best riders I know.

  • @mcr4eva645 xD I'm scared of falling now ><

  • @Guineapigluver13 It makes you a better rider :) Teaches you to keep your heels down, sit deep and straight and expected the unexpected, so really falling off is the best thing you could do xD oh and also riding diffcult horses too :)

  • @mcr4eva645 Lol I guess your right. :D but i'm still scared of falling ><

  • @Guineapigluver13 Everybody is :') But the more you do it the better you get at staying on or landing :')

  • @mcr4eva645 Hmm... I fell of my horse today.. I'm okay! XD I landed on my butt :P. Not as scary as I thought it would be.

  • @Guineapigluver13 SEE! It's funny when you fall on your butt xD

  • I absolutely hated my cast.

    the crutches hurt my arms.

    I hope the time went by fast for yoou(:

  • Yes your a very good rider.(: I like it when people get back on after an accident. Shows they are strong and are dedicated to the horse and riding.(: Good for you! I'm glad you have recovered.

  • It doesnt look like she/he did anything to get you offf... Did you just loose your balance?

  • I like it etc blabla, but half of the video was about you petting him. I didnt liked that.

  • Good for you for getting back on, you're a true rider <3

  • ouch

  • Good girl for getting back on! PS: You have a nice seat for someone as tiny as you.

  • Its a good thing you got back on. Only a real rider gets back on!

  • your a great rider and you have an awesome horse he reminds me off a horse i ride called preacher

  • wow brilliant riding well done for getting back on two broken bones ouch your a true star at horse riding

  • ouch

  • Your horse looks just fine and way to get back on after you fell off your truly going to be a great cowgirl!!:D

    Seriously "ILOVEHORSESOMG" she didn't ask you to tell her if her horse is too skinny lol

  • Comment removed

  • your horse is way too skinny...Increase his feed by at least one scoop a day until he gains some more weight.

  • every good rider falls off..at least thats all that happened..hes a little ribsy he needs more food..hes cute though

  • whooo! finlay :) A western rider. Keep riding :)

  • whooo! finlay :) A western rider

  • I meant fall. Sorry. If you think you're gonna fall.

  • I'm sorry u ended up hurt. Two good tips that have sort off helped me. 1. If u think you're gonna feel, make a flying leap in towards the school! Lol and 2. Try to keep your crop/whip on the inside of the school, that way it won't catch the wall and spook the horse. Are you okay now?

  • im glad u arent one of those people who never ride again because they fall even if it was a really bad one my friend broke both her wrist at once and something else in one fall and that didnt even stop her

  • respect!

  • how could you break it september 2008 if it says your vid was made june 2008

  • the horse's back left leg is injured - clearly visible at the beginning of the video.

  • OMG i would never ride again jk maybe

  • That's happend to me 6 times!!!

  • i know how it feels o tore legiments in my shoulder goat tieing at rodeo and didnt let it heal all the way the first time and trhough a football and tore it again it only hurts when u cant ride ♥

  • I hope you're better =) I've had professional training many years and my advice would be to try to get more control of your horse. Master trotting and posting first and then I would do all the canter. Close your knees so you can hold yourself better on the horse. The more you ride with getting lessons the better you will get. Good Luck =)

  • are you okay :O? i hope you havnt lost your confadince like i did :( ...

  • I would have got back on with the cast. xD

  • i broke my rist and last night i walked out to see her and she had to have felt bad because she nuzzeld me and nickerd to me softly as to say im really srry and i started to cry she just stood their and let me hug her

  • you had no reason to fall off, the horse was being very well behaved and u were wipping the horse far to much for how well it was going!!

  • @soxy1998 i may not be the horse's owner, but neither are you, not every horse is the same, and if you do own horses which i doubt, they are completely different from her horse, you have no right to go around saying hurtful things like this! She fell off, from what i see it wasn't her fault it wasn't the horse's fault it was her being off balance and the horse making a move that when added to the off balance created a fall. It had nothing to do with her using the whip.

  • @soxy1998 you weren't riding the horse. I saw her whip it a total of one time. You don't know what happened so dont judge. falling of is not a bad thing. In fact, if you don't fall off, you don't ride enough!! Everyone has bad days. There being no reason she fell off is better than it being a result of something she did to hurt the horse. And there is always a good reason- even if it's just being off-balanced one day. No one's perfect, hun ;)

  • @RidingTemptation dude that IS riding a horse

  • @sabrinaXisXawsome and your saying in a good way or bad? Sorry not quite getting your comment :)

  • ur horse looks a bit like mine

  • OMG! Are you alright? When you said you smashed like 5 bones, I was like "GOD!!!!" then I put my hand over my mouth and paused it.

  • I love cantering! When I first went cantering on english, i broke my arm because i fell off. my friend, molly got bucked off. i feel bad for you, but i still love english and horses!!!

  • why were you using a crop? That's for English riding

  • @movieaddictx2 If you notice, she's not in a show ring. If she feels she needs it for lessons at home, then so be it. Just because it's for english, doesn't mean it doesn't work on western horses. I personally never get on one of my horses (western) without a crop.

  • Awhh during your fall, maybe you went to fast round the corner? That always happens to me with my horse. Don't listen to all these twats giving you hate comments, you are a perfect, amazing rider and you should be very proud! :) x

  • wat happened to cause ur fall? it looked like u might havejust lost ur stirrup or something small like that. ppl need to leave her alone. she was doing really well and her balance wasnt that bad. she also wasnt beating the horse with the crop, she looked to just be brusheing/tapping it on the horses hind quaters. if thats abuse, then how the hell are u supposed to use a crop?

  • @codytufflilena....... i never watched this vid.. i think one of my friends was on my profile by accident...

  • ....... i never watched this vid.. i think one of my friends was on my profile by accident...

  • i had surgery on my legs and i couldnt ride for 3 months. now that sucks big time for me.

  • im gonna go with the crop you where beatng him with. you shouldnt of been running him that hard anyway, you had no balance. you will learn next time.

  • @davos1326 F*** you leave her alone She had fine balance and she wasn't beating her she tapped him to go a little faster

  • @davos1326 She was doing a nice canter! And if you didn't see beginning of the video, She was riding nearly flawless for her age. She wasn't beating him. Notice how he slows down turning a corner and sometimes a little rider need extra help to keep a horse going. So if you don't like her riding, don't post mean comments to a CHILD who had a terrible accident. She simply lost her balance at one corner. So don't be high and godly over a terrible accident to a little girl

  • wow i hope u where ok

  • I had a horse fall on me and broke 2 bones in my ankle too but i had a cast for 3 months and i have screws and a rod in me.

  • r u 11 cause im 11 to i have my own horse too things happen though :) COWGIRL UP!

  • are you not allowed to ride him anymore

  • you got lucky my friend got bucked off has four dead bones in her wrist and shaddered it
