i would just recommend to make your stirrups just a few holes longer so it would be more comfortable on the ground but still short enough to jump u still did a really good job :-)
Btw I also love how everyone on here thinks they are all pro riders and their shit don't stink. Ride how you're taught to ride and put your stirrups wherever you feel comfortable.
Ahh youtube, I love how someone puts a video up because they are excited about riding and just want to show people and then you have these mindless assholes who start youtube wars on their video for no reason. I think all of you who started shit needs to grow up and let it go because no one cares. Btw great riding, I hope you keep at it :)
@puppydyl maybe she's doing that to make her position better, i know i had to. if your position is halfway there before the jump its much easier over the jump - not saying this is how to jump but its helpful when you are learning :) x
@bunnyandponylove This girl is a lovely rider, obviously she has room for improvement but she will get even better than what she is now. So keep your bad comments to yourself because it's really mean saying things like that to riders, it makes them feel down hearted and not want to ride or post videos on youtube because there is people like you who can;t stand someone elses acheivments.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
@rokgirl86 WHAT THE F****! SHE COULD GO DIE IN A HOLE!!!! ACHIEVEMENTS MY BUTT!!! SHE COULDN"T RIDE TO SAVE HER LIFE AND IF YOU THINK SHE IS GOOD GO DIE IN AN F****N HOLE!!!
@MerryandTimmylove She obviously has room more improvement, we don't start off proper rate good do we? You don't even know this girl, she uploaded this many years ago. She probably be really good now. Hateing doesn't get you anywhere, just gives you a reputation for being a jerk
u r a very very good rider! u and ur horse r well matched and u look great up in the saddle!
and also... when u ask for the canter and ur horse picks up the incorrect lead, NEVER do a flying lead to change it to the correct lead because it can give them bad habbits!
sorry aber da erkenne ich nix was da mit springen zutuhen hat du sitzt falsch hast selbst zu springen zu kurze bügel und kannst dein Gleichgewicht nicht halten dann das abspringen und das aufkommen eine Katastrophe
ich haoffe das hast du jetzt nach den 3 Jahren im griff
you look a realy good rider i wonder if u can give me some tips as i can canter but not on my new horse hes only young and doesn't know how so i need to get better at sitting to the canter befor teaching him. Is there any tips you can give me on cantering? thanks
@peachey2021 From the sound of your comment, it doesn't sound like you actually horse ride, yourself. And no, you are not 'humping' the horse, you are trying to make it pick up some speed; or keep it going.
@horseloverforever11 yes i do. lol and i get self consious cause i always think that it looks like you humping the horse. lol so i figure what better way to make my self feel better than to make a joke, its what i do and say all the time to my family
You look really good for not riding that much, the only thing i noticed is that you puppy paw a little bit. So turn your hands up a little bit. Bend your elbows so that you have a straight line from your elbow to your horses mouth, and you could win all the Eq classes. Good lucky!! :)
Good rider... here are a few tips to become even better, your stirrups do need to be lengthend at least a hole maybe two and that is contributuing to your posture which is bent remember keep your heels down and back straight and thumbs up lastly give with your hands when you jump your horse needs his head to complete a fluid jump....keep up the good work
even tho the jumps are tiny you should really try releasing. your horse needs to use its head when it jumps and it cant do that when u dont let go of its mouth. and try turning more off your leg. i always only use my rein and once i started turning off my leg and using outside halfhalts, my horse was sooo much better
:) u dont have to take my advice but i think it would help!
tbh i have been riding for 8 years im not that great my self and its not about all the possitions well it is but the main thing is isw to enjoy yourself btw your a great rider XD x
ummm... i dont want to be critical but you need to lengthen your strirrups it would be understandable if you were jumping really high but those jumps dont need super short stirrups. also try leaning back going in to the jump you seem to be leaning forward alot. you dont have to take my advice because im a really bad rider but i do know some things :)
stirrups are waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay 2 short, arms have to be bent and soft not ramrod striaght and if ur jumping dont fold forawrd till the horse starts taking off, it makes ir harder for him/her.
you said one of the rules have fun???? with me when im riding it comes nautrally! and when you jump you go in your jumpping postion way before just relax and get you line p reafy first just saying:pand i toatally dis agree with bloodyclq you are so mean yes mabye her tits wobble but i think oyur jelous cus you aint got none and her horse seemed to bef ine and he is sooo cute you keep up the work:)
Looks pretty good for someone who doesn't ride often! I think you know about everything I was going to say, but I just wanted to add that if you really sit up, you can use your back and your core muscles to hold your horse together a bit better. He got going a bit fast in a couple of spots; holding with your back, and sitting coming up to the fences, might help a bit.
Again, good job for an occasional rider! Keep it up!
you are such an idiot. she doens't look shubby at all ! and if you are some perv who likes to look the breast of girls , that's not her fault , you sick perv
i agree with the bra thing but the whole lose weight thing is rude and selfish! She does not need to lose weight and you are at no stance to tell her that she is chubby! she is not! do unto others as you would have them do to you.
oh and as for the hands...pretend you are holding a hot coffee in each one just above the shoulder blades....ps...my coach actually brought out cups with water the one day and told me she'd give me a month free lessons if it didn't go below a certain line...woman must have known something because i am still paying her. it was a bit dramatic but the point was well taken.
rule #1: if you can't take the heat don't post urself on the internet! haha, she is learning so depending on how long - well done. compared to stephen peters she sucks! lol. take the advice / critism and make urself a better rider. my advice! ask ur coach to do bounce jumps...it will help your get you working on getting in and out of your two point. also lengthen your stirrups so you don't feel so tippy in the saddle. otherwise, have fun and keep at it your smile says i love horses!
Oh please!!all who gives tips and notes think you are coaches!!! let all the comands and try to improve yourself!!you are acting as you are the perfect riders!!!i am sick of you!!every time you watch a video with someone who is not champion you start the critisism!!!Stop!!!!just watch it dont start saying things that you can´t even do in your own practise!!!!
and if peopl ered the description they would know that she knows her mistakes everybody has problems but in differnt ways and like she sed its a LESSON wich means LEARNING lol nobodys perfect !!!
take your feet out and then like do some trotting or something then put your feet back in the stirrups and see how short they really are, i used to have mine like that.
I used to have short stirrups and i always wondered why my feet really hurt, and i realized they where because of the stirrups length, (this was on zippy, 15.1hh cob, im quite small for her), and if you look at my older videos of her and my newer ones you can see the difference between lengths of them. So glad i have longer stirrups, feels a lot better (Y)
wow the fact that people seem to think they know everything always shocks me! you looked great, especially considering you don't get to ride that much. and honestly who cares if your heels aren't perfect, or your back isn't hunched why else would you be taking lessons if your not looking to improve. (and from a trainer not randoms on the internet who are posting under an anonymous name for a reason)
when i jump, i cant go in 2 point until i am right about off the ground, because my horse will bounce if its oxer, but she also tries to fly, so if ur doing poles infront of the jump, and you go into 2 point then, she will jump over the entire thing. but she usually clears.
its so weird some times when i jump like a am two-pointing and kicking the horse to go a couple more steps cause it looks like it will be a longer jump, so i will up higher in my two-point so when it jumps its back is close enough i can fallow, and i am all the way up there and they do i small jump!
oh and P.S. theres nothing wrong with a double bridle or pellham if you know how to use it. Very soft hands with one of those can yield finer control if the horse is trained and responsive to soft light aids. It shouldnt be used to force control, but instead to refine the aids. No bit is bad, its up to the rider and their hands
I just wanted to say, i still stand by my previous comment, but i think it came off a little rude and unnecessarily harsh , so i apologize if that came off mean.
double bridles are fine it gives u more control id have one if my pony wasnt soo young but if its a fully schooled horse thats really easy to control then it doesnt need that bit but if its extra strong then ye it miyt need that bit and maybe your stirrups could be lengthened a couple of holes i no there meant to be short for jumping but not that short and try to lean back abit more
im not tryin to be rude just want to understand bt y do u lean forward so far from the jump here in ireland most of the time you are taught to lean in jumpin position as the horse takes off bt ive noticed that in america most of the riders lean forward so far away from the jump i feel that u dont get as much implusion and its easier to fall off if the horse stops or runs out
its because she is a beginner. trainors here in america tell beginners to go to the 2point early that way they can perfect their position before they get to the jump. it also helps them learn not to jump up the horses neck and to keep their heels down. as you advance, we do it just like you and lean into the jumpin position as the horse takes off.
i agree. i have always heard that "unless you are a God and can do it perfect there is no sense in doing something you will do wrong" many feel that two pointing before the jump makes them too much of a "beginner" but regardless of riding level i feel it is very important to master these baby steps before you can move up to the higher jumps...jumps that if you are not ready for can be dangerous :D
UP DOWN UP DOWN , AND THEN JUMPING HANDS UP DOWN UP DOWN , what is the point .... please and the horse horse has enough bits in his mouth for 10 horses ... this is sad people
I believe that bit is a pelham with two reins. A pelham has only one bit, it might look like two because of the reins but there is definatly only one bit in that horses mouth.
theres a horse at my lesson barn that has a pelham bit only because it gives the tiny little begginer kids who ride him more control cuz they are so little and havent built up any muscle or skill yet. his name's Loco :P
Horses are beautiful animals. BUT It would take a lot for me to get on one these days! I've been on a few horses when I was a kid but right now no way!
Actually, your stirrups weren't too short at all. They could've maybe go down a hole or two, but it really isn't that big of a deal. You didn't look uncomfortable and your balance was decent.
And don't worry about the hunching before 2-point. I'm sure you've fixed that by now, considering this video was posted in 2007. :]
stirrups that short are only appropriate for jumping high jumps and for riders with an excellent two point to keep perfect balance. Not in this situation. And stirrups are adjustable, no reason.
stturips are fine, i used to ride shorter then that on my horse obvi u guys have no idea what u are chatting about, and your take off is fine i can't see anything wrong with it, U have a gawjus horse and you work really well together =D happy riding =D
i dont think it really matters if your stirrups are to short..if there wayyy to long then your bouncing on the horses back...but your not, nice riding! just remember to sit in the saddle until the horse takes off...i used to do what you dd and my horse always panicked and jumped way to early because h thought i was telling him to jump when i did that! :P but thats just my horse! cute horse!! and nice riding!
Despite everyone screaming "ur stirrups are too short!" their actually not that bad considering you were jumping. Many jumpers ride with their stirrups way short so don't feel bad :) You're a great rider who obvious cares about their horse, nice job!
I like how you encourage your Jake by stroking his neck every so often. I like to do that just to let the horse know "I'm still here buddy, and I'm proud of you." Good ride, even though there was a few mistakes (which u explained), you handled the horse and the jumping course well.
You don't need short reins to ride. It's more natural and comfortable for the horse to have looser reins. And it allows it to move more naturally preventing something such as falling, halting, refusing jumps, or trying to "run" away from the bit by speeding up and stumbling over a jump.
What would happen if you had long reins and your horse tripped over or stumbled over a jump??? If you have short reins you have a correct good contact all of the time, it stops the rein from moving up and down which annoys the horse and blocks the contact and you have, generally, more control =) but its your opinon
I didn't mean like super loose or super tight. Just tight enough to go over and stay under control, but not so tight that your horse is running away from the bit because you're keeping a steady pressure. I get what you're saying and I agree.
if the horse trips over a jump you're supposed to let them go so they can find their own balance...of course on the flat and juming you do want contact, but if they trip let them go
THATS HORRIBLE. poor horse... the people in charge of ur camp r cruel!! u shd have speaken out! and said! "HECK NO I'M NOT RIDIN THIS POOR LAME HORSE!"
I didnt know I was until I finally got off and they told me! I know. I dont ride there anymore! They didnt even now until I was riding and their like OMG and they treated her right away. Dont worry! Horses are my life and I would never do anything to hurt them EVER!
LOL! Yeah, I would NEVER I repeat NEVER do that. Haha! But yes, I should have never put that in my comment. I did because it sort of related to the situation!
I watched some of your videos! Your a awesome rider. I subscribed! Could you maybe subscribe to me?
Hi there, you rode really well, and I don't know the horse so I'm not gonna say a word about the spurs, but I'd pop those stirrups down a hole or two - your knees are sticking out the front of the saddle, and last time I rode that short - OUCHIES! Your poor thighs! :)
He already looks pretty alert in canter and jump, so you dont need spurs unless you horse is like my sisters, he wont move! also your looks like its swinging alot which means your leg might not be firmly on your horse which could also be why you think you need spurs, so you might accidently jab him. Sorry, just somthing you could improve
agreed, that will only harm your riding capabilities. you have to lengthen them like 2/3 holes and find a saddle with a longer flap for your longer legs.
well tbh, no horses like working, unless it has an extremely close bond with you! thats all im sayin ok! U may say ur horse loves bein ridden, but HOW THE HELL DO U NO THAT!!!!!! U ARENT THE HORSE!!!!!!! Maybe coz it keeps itself to its self!!!!! U can look it up on every nature site, horses sleep and eat, they like keeping the energy!! That is all I am trying to point out! ok??? please lets not fite over it!
maybehorses In fact my horse LOVES his job as a hunter/jumper. If he likes what hes doing his ears go floppy if he doesnt then they go stiff. Everytime that I ride him, guess what?!?! they go floppy!!!
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
wen u say have fun, usualy u r havin fun but the horse is havin a bad time! The only time wen a horse is trully happy is wen the horses owner, who has been with the horse from birth and the horse has a nice lil rug, either out in the field with loads of frends or in a stable with frends in near-by stables, also with lots of food and water to keep them happy, seriously only time! Yes occasionally the owner who has a incredibly strong bond with the horse may ride him/her for a while but thats it.
i would just recommend to make your stirrups just a few holes longer so it would be more comfortable on the ground but still short enough to jump u still did a really good job :-)

poor horse. you CAN'T ride it . o.O
ZickeVanny 2 years ago
tip: bridge ur riens so ur hands ar closer together. and also bend ur elbows more and ur hands wont move as much when you rise trot.
one more thing. u r bent at the hips to much. sit with a straighter back.
also give ur horse some rein when he trips.
but well done any way.

there is nothing wrong with using your pelham, i use my pelham once in a while when my horse is a bit strong. good video, cute horse.

your stirrups are really short
take your feet out and then like do some trotting or something then put your feet back in the stirrups and see how short they really are, i used to have mine like that.
It works :)
HollyHolz01 2 years ago
I used to have short stirrups and i always wondered why my feet really hurt, and i realized they where because of the stirrups length, (this was on zippy, 15.1hh cob, im quite small for her), and if you look at my older videos of her and my newer ones you can see the difference between lengths of them. So glad i have longer stirrups, feels a lot better (Y)

wow the fact that people seem to think they know everything always shocks me! you looked great, especially considering you don't get to ride that much. and honestly who cares if your heels aren't perfect, or your back isn't hunched why else would you be taking lessons if your not looking to improve. (and from a trainer not randoms on the internet who are posting under an anonymous name for a reason)

when i jump, i cant go in 2 point until i am right about off the ground, because my horse will bounce if its oxer, but she also tries to fly, so if ur doing poles infront of the jump, and you go into 2 point then, she will jump over the entire thing. but she usually clears.
BeckaBoo1996 2 years ago
its so weird some times when i jump like a am two-pointing and kicking the horse to go a couple more steps cause it looks like it will be a longer jump, so i will up higher in my two-point so when it jumps its back is close enough i can fallow, and i am all the way up there and they do i small jump!
starburst443 2 years ago
oh and P.S. theres nothing wrong with a double bridle or pellham if you know how to use it. Very soft hands with one of those can yield finer control if the horse is trained and responsive to soft light aids. It shouldnt be used to force control, but instead to refine the aids. No bit is bad, its up to the rider and their hands

I just wanted to say, i still stand by my previous comment, but i think it came off a little rude and unnecessarily harsh , so i apologize if that came off mean.

wasnt it uncomfortable with the stirrups up that high?

double bridles are fine it gives u more control id have one if my pony wasnt soo young but if its a fully schooled horse thats really easy to control then it doesnt need that bit but if its extra strong then ye it miyt need that bit and maybe your stirrups could be lengthened a couple of holes i no there meant to be short for jumping but not that short and try to lean back abit more

your stirrups are really short, your knee comes over the flap....which it shouldn't do.
Jess1134206 2 years ago
im not tryin to be rude just want to understand bt y do u lean forward so far from the jump here in ireland most of the time you are taught to lean in jumpin position as the horse takes off bt ive noticed that in america most of the riders lean forward so far away from the jump i feel that u dont get as much implusion and its easier to fall off if the horse stops or runs out

its because she is a beginner. trainors here in america tell beginners to go to the 2point early that way they can perfect their position before they get to the jump. it also helps them learn not to jump up the horses neck and to keep their heels down. as you advance, we do it just like you and lean into the jumpin position as the horse takes off.
Randombeccaboo 2 years ago
oh thanks very much i also wondered
blazeingglory 2 years ago
i agree. i have always heard that "unless you are a God and can do it perfect there is no sense in doing something you will do wrong" many feel that two pointing before the jump makes them too much of a "beginner" but regardless of riding level i feel it is very important to master these baby steps before you can move up to the higher jumps...jumps that if you are not ready for can be dangerous :D

UP DOWN UP DOWN , AND THEN JUMPING HANDS UP DOWN UP DOWN , what is the point .... please and the horse horse has enough bits in his mouth for 10 horses ... this is sad people
egasserd8888 2 years ago
I believe that bit is a pelham with two reins. A pelham has only one bit, it might look like two because of the reins but there is definatly only one bit in that horses mouth.
melissafew2 2 years ago
your right its only a pelham but there are double pelhams also but to me it looks like a pelham with a chain underneath his jaw.
i have to agree its not nice and it should never have to be used especially on schooled horses.
but she does have nice hands i have to say

theres a horse at my lesson barn that has a pelham bit only because it gives the tiny little begginer kids who ride him more control cuz they are so little and havent built up any muscle or skill yet. his name's Loco :P

JPaxton1616 2 years ago
Actually, your stirrups weren't too short at all. They could've maybe go down a hole or two, but it really isn't that big of a deal. You didn't look uncomfortable and your balance was decent.
And don't worry about the hunching before 2-point. I'm sure you've fixed that by now, considering this video was posted in 2007. :]
oPaintThisRed 2 years ago 16
stirrups that short are only appropriate for jumping high jumps and for riders with an excellent two point to keep perfect balance. Not in this situation. And stirrups are adjustable, no reason.
equineangel91 2 years ago
actually lots of people use sturrups how long have you been riding?

i dont think it really matters if your stirrups are to short..if there wayyy to long then your bouncing on the horses back...but your not, nice riding! just remember to sit in the saddle until the horse takes off...i used to do what you dd and my horse always panicked and jumped way to early because h thought i was telling him to jump when i did that! :P but thats just my horse! cute horse!! and nice riding!

Despite everyone screaming "ur stirrups are too short!" their actually not that bad considering you were jumping. Many jumpers ride with their stirrups way short so don't feel bad :) You're a great rider who obvious cares about their horse, nice job!

HorseAndRider610 2 years ago
I like how you encourage your Jake by stroking his neck every so often. I like to do that just to let the horse know "I'm still here buddy, and I'm proud of you." Good ride, even though there was a few mistakes (which u explained), you handled the horse and the jumping course well.

you really have to short up your reins also, you have to be mutch softer in your hands while riding. You are good! keep up the good work :D
thegurkas 2 years ago
You don't need short reins to ride. It's more natural and comfortable for the horse to have looser reins. And it allows it to move more naturally preventing something such as falling, halting, refusing jumps, or trying to "run" away from the bit by speeding up and stumbling over a jump.
SEcoffin 2 years ago
What would happen if you had long reins and your horse tripped over or stumbled over a jump??? If you have short reins you have a correct good contact all of the time, it stops the rein from moving up and down which annoys the horse and blocks the contact and you have, generally, more control =) but its your opinon
louupooo 2 years ago
I didn't mean like super loose or super tight. Just tight enough to go over and stay under control, but not so tight that your horse is running away from the bit because you're keeping a steady pressure. I get what you're saying and I agree.
SEcoffin 2 years ago
if the horse trips over a jump you're supposed to let them go so they can find their own balance...of course on the flat and juming you do want contact, but if they trip let them go

Hi there, you rode really well, and I don't know the horse so I'm not gonna say a word about the spurs, but I'd pop those stirrups down a hole or two - your knees are sticking out the front of the saddle, and last time I rode that short - OUCHIES! Your poor thighs! :)

Nice Horse!
He already looks pretty alert in canter and jump, so you dont need spurs unless you horse is like my sisters, he wont move! also your looks like its swinging alot which means your leg might not be firmly on your horse which could also be why you think you need spurs, so you might accidently jab him. Sorry, just somthing you could improve
heart0fgold15 2 years ago
Actually spurs are used for finesse, not speed. If you are using them for speed you are not properly educated in the use of spurs.

wen u say have fun, usualy u r havin fun but the horse is havin a bad time! The only time wen a horse is trully happy is wen the horses owner, who has been with the horse from birth and the horse has a nice lil rug, either out in the field with loads of frends or in a stable with frends in near-by stables, also with lots of food and water to keep them happy, seriously only time! Yes occasionally the owner who has a incredibly strong bond with the horse may ride him/her for a while but thats it.
