  • still watching

  • *SHIVERS* *GOOSEBUMBS*

    speechless.....

    This ia A-MA-ZING!

  • i always come to this video when people say riding isnt a sport it makes me feel better watching this :D

  • WOW! I have seen alot of those show jumping crashes live at Spruce Meadows!

  • SOOOOO TRUE. We (riders) risk our lives every time we saddle up and go for a ride. You can die in any moment. But you still do it no matter what. You love it, you trust to your best friend (horse) and you just live that kind of life. You can't live without it.

    And yeah, the video is awesome :)

  • i do like this video, but the frame around it of blood makes it seem like its a sport where people kill each other D:

  • No No those Equestrians don't just risk there lives the make there horses push the limits and risk there life

  • Have I trusted a animal of such power Indeed I do everytime I lay on her back go around the paddock with no bit or bridle everytime I crawl under her legs

    everytime I hug her everytime I lay down and let her feet go 30 cm from my head as she licks my nose so yes I do trust her to some extent becuse she showed me how

  • Yes I have tried to Control a 12 hunderd pound animal i failed becuse she showed me that double bridles and whips and hard Kicks don't work against and animal that could take advantage of you anytime and kill you Instead she showed me love and I showed it to her back and got rid of all that horrible tack and now we have something stronger then a double bridle bit a stick or a hard kick or yell now we have a bond that keeps us toghether forever that I would never trade.

  • idk how anyone would think riding was easy after they saw this!!!!!!! equestrians rule!!!!!!!!!!!!!:D

  • very thrilling and scary minding the fact paralysis is a possible factor God for bid

  • ohhh the goosebumpss...

  • I hve Sony vegas 8 and I can't make videos this amazing! u hve talent:D

  • Some of the kids in my class need to watch this! They say all you do is sit there, well that is certainly not true. I told the kid that said that get on a horse and get it to do a piaffe, passage, and levade and tell me all you do is sit there. I think they should have to watch this video about 30 times a day to get it beaten in their head.

  • this is amazing! what program do u use? I love this!! it's so awsome!:D

  • @DreamOnX4: Thanks! I use Sony Vegas 7.0 ^^

  • talk about unpredictable, my friend was bucked off of the most safe, bombproof horse at my barn and broke her collarbone.

  • three words for ya: I HAVE GOOOOSEEBUMPPSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ;D

  • brilliant love the vid =)

  • ive broken some of my ribs and along with my arm and leg because i fell of the other day... :(

  • @jessybabeish1: ooooo ouch! I wish you a very speedy recovery!

  • i L O V E this <3

  • this. is. BEAST!!!

  • i love the way you really brought out what goes on when we actually ride. ive found heaps of people who think that if we fall, its because we're a bad rider, and that if you are really good that you should never fall.

    well theyre prettyyy wrong!

    amazing video :)

  • @14jetblack

    yeah i recon you have to fall off 10 times before your a rider (:

    Cuz you learn from it so next time you get back on your more experienced.

  • Its not even the thought that people dont think this sport is the toughest annoys me. (ok it does) BUT the thing that REALLY gets me is that some ****s dont even think this is a sport !

    THATS annoying !

    But equestrian must be like

    thee most dangerous thing known to man... and this video describes that PERFECTLY. Well done ! x

  • This video gave me chills. It`s so true. No matter what anyone says, until they trust a creature of that size, soar over a jump, feel the horse dancing under you, feel the air smack your face at a gallop, they`ll never truly get it. Riding is a sport, and to many, riding is pretty much life. Proud to say, I`m one of those people. This video I`d love to show to so many of those people who think riding is just sitting there. Oh how they`re wrong. :)

  • awesome video. amazing editing. and you're right. horse back riding is the most unique and best sport there is...because are horses and us are in it:)

  • wow!! you know equestrainism is the hardest sport ive ever done. you know when your younger your parents sign u up for like every sport to find your match? ive done scoccer, tennis, cheerleading (yuck!) and so much more!! the hardest ive ever done was swimming but its not nearly as hard as equestrainism!!! anyways, love your vid!!! ♥

  • i got goose pimples by watching this :)

  • LOved it every second was perfection it really gave me such a thrill from watching this

    thanks for making such an amazing vid <3 xx

  • this is INSANE. amazing!

  • This is bloody brilliant! Well done <3 Best equestrain video ive seen yet! Loving it xxx

  • amazing video (:

    What program do you use??

  • what;'s the song name ?!

    soo amazing ! :O

  • one word

    wow

  • What's the intro song?

    

  • That's right! Equestrian is WAY tougher than stupid old football! And the players always think they're so great... They have no idea. Just like those brainless basketball players!

  • ITS AMAZING! I subbed!!

  • i wish my friends would c this!! they all think that its sooo easy to ride horses! they just think that i sit on the horse and he does all of the work but wut they dont know is that it takes a lot of knowledge of detail and consistancy!

  • i LOVE LOVE LOVE this vid! :DD lol they should really consiter putting this as a real commerical on tv! and just just RFD-TV... lol :D

  • OMG THIS IS SO GOOD!

    it gave me chillllllsss!!!! :O

  • @singinggirl006

    that would be great :)

  • i was so sick of my friend complaining about swiming and i showed her this vid and it changed her mind

  • I should def. show this to my classmates. They think you just sit on the horse and he does all the work for you.

    If they seen this, they would be surprised.

  • can you tell me the website to make these videos? thanks

  • This shows the innocent beauty of them I got goosebumps watching it 5 star matirial defo !

  • AMAZING! love it!

  • this vid is amazing, it is still my fav, i watch it every day. i want to know, would driving be consitered eqestrain?

  • Okay if you idiots are saying English is the only equestrian sport, shut up and quit making yourself look stupid. I rode English first and switched o western and HOLY SHIT I ha no idea it was so hard. Noe I'm all western with only a litle English because Western is so loose and relaxed with more challenge. English is so uptight!

  • Holy shitt, this is amazing! Definitly the best Equestrian video I've ever seen, no doubt. It shows the truth in horseback riding. I always feel the need to hit the poeple who say riding isn't a sport. It's more of a sport than badmiton. What talent does that take??

  • i don't all understand because i'm bad in english but your vidéo is wonderfull

  • Savage! 599th rating =D x

  • best video i've seen in a long time! amazingg!

  • That is freaking AMAZING. Actually one of the best videos I have ever seen. It shows horse-back riding in the complete light it should be shown in, and leaves one with enormous goosebumps. O.o Freaking FANTASTIC. alknf;sdgsd.

  • @JumpForLife413 i am sooo with you there i think its 1 of the best horse vidds in youtube =D

  • Shows what equestrians really go through xD I am pleased whith this. I am opening a contest soon, would you mind entering it?

    Keep checking my profile for updates :D

    :)

  • best vid ever

  • OMG..!!! O.O  ..AMAZING!!!! Really one of the best equestrian videos!!!!!

  • Amazing. <3

    Really shows what us Equestrians go through.

  • Okay I too am not much of a fan for Western but you still have to have skill. I think it's funny how people (teachers included) ask me what sports I play and I tell them horse back riding and softball. And they go Horse back riding that's not a sport. But let me tell you that doesn't make me happy.

  • same i just say horse riding and ev one look at me as if im lazy im like wtf like on sunday i rode a horse jumping and when i did my round of only 4 jumps i was puffying its had work depending wat horse

  • Theres only 2 words for this video. ABSALOUTLEY AMAZING ! beyond 5*. amazing.

  • soo true people think that horse riding are for people who dont like too much exitement in their lives but if u own a horse it has a lot of exitement and scary moment some riders die from their horse running over them

    once again this is sooo true and this is a great video well done!

  • i love your vids

    and btw how can you write your headline "αη∂ уσυ тнσυgнт уσυя ѕρσятѕ ωєяє тσυgн!" ?? thats awesome!

  • I still adore this video, even one year later <3 And reading the comments below... well, all I can say is that only a true equestrian understands that equestrian means everything horsey. So, western included ^_^

  • Wow, Ray you were right!! SOMEONE is terribly misinformed! xDDD I still love this video, one of the great CLASSICS OF YOUTUBE!!!  =O lol!! =DDD

  • Come on guys! I'm an English rider but I have ridden western before... WESTERN RIDERS ARE EQUESTRIANS! It's not just US English rider THEY are too!

    So stop knocking them! Anyone basically riding a horse/pony for over a couple months and truly loves it is an EQUESTRIAN so learn the definition!

  • Equestrian:

    adjective

    1. of or pertaining to horseback riding or horseback riders: equestrian skill.

    2. mounted on horseback: equestrian knights.

    3. representing a person mounted on a horse: an equestrian statue.

    4. pertaining to or composed of knights or mounted warriors: an equestrian code of honor.

    5. of or pertaining to the ancient Roman equites.

    I'm not fond of most Western "sports," but there's no arguing that they ARE equestrian. Unless you wanna go have a word with Webster.

  • Of course it is! Any discipline in horse riding is classed as 'Equitation' therefore yes, it is an Equestrian discipline :)

    If you meant that it isn't a 'Sport' then that isn't true either as it is practised in many different countries all over the world and there are events where people compete against one another in this discipline from all over the world. So it is also a sport.

  • EQUESTRIAN :::

    Adj -

    1. Of or relating to horseback riding or horseback riders.

    2. Depicted or represented on horseback: an equestrian statue of a famous monarch.

    Noun -

    1. One who rides a horse or performs on horseback.

  • equestrian means u ride a horse. so obviously western is equestrian.

  • only English riding is (racing and western style riding are NOT equestrian!)

  • @showjumpergirl11 oh well leave her alone its still horse riding

  • @showjumpergirl11 Western is just as much riding as any other. You're still controlling a 1500 pound animal, as raythegoth says, and you're still relying on him. You still can create a wonderful bond with your horse, and there are lots of upsides to western. I've done a lot of english huntseat and a bit of western, and the western riders are as horse crazy as we are. They get to enjoy more relaxing rides than us sometimes, which I find to be very important. Yet western riders still go quickly.

  • Very well done!

  • What song is this?? I love the tune!!

  • And i thought my jokes were bad ~ the Dark knight soundtrack

  • awsome! i love it can you make more awasome vids like this with more types of animals?

  • me too ! x

  • @TheEventerGirl haha yupp i get ppl at my school going "i dont know what the problam is its easy!" then i am like "well u go and get on a horse and prove it then" hehe that shuts them up but seriously it takes a lot of work so i totaly agree with you

  • I love it, amazing! 5 stars and faves! =D

  • It gave me chills O.o amazing :love:

  • Wow that is so good! i love it! its so good cos its all true and people dont know how hard horse riding is 5* and i subbed :) x

  • This is the best equistrian video EVER!!!

  • This video actually made me tear up its amazing. watch it constantly

  • This is such a breathtaking video. Does anyone know what the music used it I want to download it for my phone! xxx

  • The name of the song is right at the very end of the video :)

  • Thank, sorry to be a pain haha, I always end up missing things like that because I'm listening to the song so intently, thank you again! xxx

  • @raythegoth hehe i am confuzzled is the name of the song at the start called *and i thaught my jokes were bad*???

    what is the name of the song at the start??? its amazing

  • @smartiegirl112: The song at the start is called 'The courtship' and it's from the Disney's Dinosaur soundtrack =)

  • @raythegoth oh hehe ok thanks =]

  • where did you get the video clips from?

  • that was great!!!

  • woah, haha, i love this video!! the clips you used are amazing, there were some pretty nasty falls!

    anyway i also have had to deal with people saying that riding is not a sport and its easy and the horse does all the work. rider and horse are partners in this equally thrilling, beautiful, amazing SPORT :)

  • They say that everytime you ride, its like taking Drugs for the first time, no other sport really comes close. Not with an animal anyway.

    and Amaz---Ing video..Totally awesome :D

  • SOOOO AWSOME!!!!!

  • This is one of the BEST horse vids on here! =) I ride western for pleasure but I've have had to trust one of the Hardest horses I've ever ridden before and we barrel race, Jump, Do the poles (all western) and She is amazing but she can turn MEAN at the end of the lesson.

  • wow i love this video!!

  • That. is . amazing. How do you make such amazing videos????5 stars and fave this is awesome

  • Excellent :) 5 stars and fav

  • seriously for all those people who've said that horse back riding isnt sport and its easy.

    well they've never tried it.

    Although they can be wild at times but they are truly gifted animal.

    they're undescribable creatures really!

    i love them uncontrollable!

  • This is amazing!

  • It makes me so mad when people say riding is easy. I love riding, and it is quite a challenge :P i've got the hunter jumper bug, lol :D

  • amazing!

  • whoah. this is the best video i have ever seen!! i love it! where do u get ur clips?

  • omg i LOVE your beginning!! rofl i start up my comp (takes like 20 mins) JUST to watch teh begginging lol

  • WOW WOW WOW WOW!!!

    I love the song and this is just amazing!

    5*

    Great job

  • amazing! 5* favortied and subbed!

  • RACING? WESTERN? whats all that doing in there?

  • Because they're equestrian sports too.

  • No.

  • Show jumping isn't the only Equestrian sport dear, there is such a wide range and yes Western and Horse Racing are included, why else would people be competing in them world wide?

  • I know that showjumping is not the only equestrian sport but i thought only show jumping cross country and dressage where. thanks

  • Nope, there are many Equine sports but Eventing (showjumping, cross country and dressage) are the most talked about and are olympic level sports but there is such a broad range of Equine sports reining, barrel racing, horse racing (grand national, kentucky Derby etc) there's also driving competitions, like for Carridge horses and stuff :)

  • @raythegoth Eventing is the combination of those three disciplines.  Dressage and show jumping are also individually Olympic events.

  • ohh nice 1 lol

  • how do you make your videos as in on what programe ? xXx

  • I use sony vegas 7.0 (:

  • this was lame.

  • lol well you're the first person to say that after 12,652 views, 515 ratings and 332 comments, I'd like to see you do better mate :)

  • what software did you use?

    amazing video :D xx

  • This TOTALLY tells people who don't know how hard it is that it isn't even one bit easy in the long run. I also agree that this IS a sport, unlike the people who don't ride. For fun is one thing, but competing is a whole different matter.

  • this is AMAZING it actually brought tears tto my eyes..NO JOKE

  • Best vid EVA

  • people say horseback riding isn't a sport.

    but nascar is?

    they go around in circles.

    to make one turn, we use five different aids. and if we don't remember, the horse doesn't bend, the horse doesn't turn.

    not an easy sport by any means. good video!

  • i TOTALLY agree lol its sooo true! 2 of my guy friends and my bff Caitlin is coming over today and i wanna take them to the barn because one of the guys (quintin) he says all u do is sit in the saddle and say :"COME ON HORSEY!" so i wanna take them to the barn and show em' how hard it is...my pony is ALWAYS bad when ppl go and see him -.- its annoying lol

  • love this video!! watch it like everyday! goodjob

  • That is ALL SO TRUE !, we do strive on perfection !

  • This is SUCH an awsome video! There's a guy at school who's all "Horseback riding isn't a lot of work... you don't do anything. At all." When I gave him the evil eye and asked him if he'd ever rode before, I was kinda surprised when he said yes. I asked him where that was, and he replied, "Oh, at a carnival. A guy held the reins for me and led this pony around with me on its back." Well, there's your problem.

  • Aha, whata loseer ! yeeh, i've been riding for3 years now . I find it sooo addicting ! and everyone is like, nawhh it isn't a sport. Then why is it in the olympics? :P

  • WHOA, well done and so true! I heard of someone making fun of jockeys saying "What they get paid to sit on a horse for 2 minutes, they aren't athletes!" I was sooo mad, they have no idea of the danger, practice, preperationa nd suffering that goes into what we love to do! Well done!

  • alright, LeaderStorm, then explain exactly why so many people die and sustain terrible injuries in barrel racing, trail riding, racing, cart driving, hunter jumper events, and countless other "non-dangerous" disciplines. working with 1000-2000 lb. animals is never safe... of course, we love to do it anyways! ♥

  • I said if you have a safe horse and sure footing like my horse would never purposefully hurt me I trust him with my life thank you very much plus I said Barrel Racing and racing wouldn't be so dangerous if idiots would learn to train there horses when they are at least four so they can finish growing

  • !!continued!!

    and I know any kind of racing is dangerous but trail rides are not if you have the right animal and your right I love to put my trust in my baby and I do trust him with my life

  • unless it has been abused or neglected, i doubt most horses would try to hurt anyone on purpose. all my horses are very safe with steady feet and all were gentled at a very young age and began training at age 5. and yet they have panicked and hurt people before. i trust my Morgan mare Cassi more than anything, even though my mother broke her back when Cassi spooked. and i agree that racehorses are trained far too young. but not barrel horses.

  • I once had a mare that intentionally tried to hurt people (We sold her) but Barrel Horses are insane because all they do (Most of them anyway) is run so they always want to run and act crazy my horse does barrels but he also does English pleasure and jumping so he isn't insane but I saw a horse in my 4-h that actually hurt people because he was so psycho if barrel people would do more things like pleasure or something they would be fine but they don't or they trail ride and run the whole trail

  • hey i love this vid sooooo much . alot of people underestimate us riders and the bond we build with our horses and this vid explains it all that we do risk our lives everyday doing something we love

  • if you play cryin by aerosmith right from the beginning of the vid it goes really well with the clips u have to play it with the intro though

  • Riding is one of the most dangerous SPORTS in the world and to all who say riding is not a sport lets see how you like the hard ground

  • WOW its VERY! dramaticx cooleo =) i bet it took u ages wicked =)
