Several Tips for Basic Horse Care : How to Ride a Horse for Exercise

[rihannafan2323]

@ThePalomino83 obviously your an idiot for telling me that , i think i would know that i have horses.

you don 't know me . so there for , what you just commented sounded childish .

i am not arguing any longer ,

at least if i was lying , which i am not , i took the mature role in stopping the argument ,

continue all you want , i don 't care , and you aren 't making the world any better .

[rihannafan2323]

@ThePalomino83 the amount of ignorance in horse behavior in that comment just shows me how much you don 't know about them.

i am done with this disscussion .

[rihannafan2323]

@ThePalomino83 yes , many people use curb bits , but if you further study then you will realize that it is not nice on them . curbs are leverage bits , and with leverage , you put one once of pressure and it comes off as 5 , so not matter how gentle you are on your hands its still not gonna feel good . although , you have your ways , and i have mine :)

[rihannafan2323]

@ThePalomino83 aha , i am a vet in training . and i am surprised at how many people don 't realize how much bits hurt the horses mouth ..

and yeah , mine do too ..

[Teddie120]

just sayin, thats bearly a lope. my horse can walk faster than that.......

[BreAnimalLove]

i have a horse, but i dont use bits on him, he's much better without :)

[THismydream12]

SHHHHH!!!! THAT SADDLE IS TOO DAMN LOUD!! >_<

[kyleekowgirl]

You guys need to stop being so rude to this lady... every one rides different. Yeah. I use a curb bit on my horses, and i use spurs. But thats just how i ride. And my horses are fine. You guys probably do things differently. You need to calm down and stop freaking out on this lady, if you know so much about horses, then stop watching these videos. And if you think you know so much then make us some videos on how to do things.

[Teddie120]

@kyleekowgirl good job;)

[rihannafan2323]

mmhhm i see ...

spures..

and a curb bit ..

both awful things ...

no wonder your horses canter is disguesting .

[Thehorsebabe99]

@rihannafan2323 that is her choice to have spures and a curb bit! My friend has spurs it does not hurt the horse!! and that was not a canter that was a lope!

[minimccann]

leave her alone! if all of you know how to ride a horse "properly" then why are you watching this!! she isn't fat either. so all you rude ignorant jerks should get off your lazy asses. maybe go ride a horse if your so freakin good at it!

[RockinThaSoLows]

Oh god, that poor horse, youre clearly too heavy. she goes so much faster and happyer when youre not on her

quite horseback riding. PLEASE.

[MissModernwarfare]

@RockinThaSoLows i like the way you do your hair

[gaydude1985]

The best part to the video was when it cuts out and telling you "how to ride from an expert".

[xAhnemesisx]

The "squeek" of the leather bothers you. That's part of the reason I loved being around horses. All that buckle and leather noise is relaxing to me.

[sandfrog808]

She has a squeek in her saddle the way to stop that is to use baby powder just dump lots in under leather give it a good shake and leave it. It will not hurt your horse you have the horse blanket then the saddle. That would drive me crazy.

[sandfrog808]

She is on a well trained horse so she does not have to keep the reins tight. And yes I think she should have a look at the horse it does have a limp. Some western riders wear a helmet out here in Montana we are seeing more of this. It is a choice. Safe ridding.

[BabyWestProductions]

OK I ride western and I keep my reins loose. So she's doin' it right. And she's really balanced too. I like how she relaxes the reins.

God, she's an EXPERT. Let her alone.

That horse is beautiful!

[sugarismyhorse]

@BabyWestProductions

but her horse does have a limp, =P

[BabyWestProductions]

@sugarismyhorse

no she doesn't. I go to western shows all the time, that's how they jog and lope. it looks like a limp but its not. and i'm pretty sure that an expert would know better than to ride their horse if its limping.

[sugarismyhorse]

@BabyWestProductions

Oh I know that! Thats ow it looks., But it just doesnt seem like it, even when shes trotting

[iButterscotch]

is that horse lame she seems to be slow and limping

[95ness95duck]

is she wearin sunglasses???

[95ness95duck]

rofl i just noticed XD

[AliaRenee12]

Lope, Its the canter in western. its the same thing its just slower.

And lady STOP pulling on the reins. Tighten them some and keep your hands low.

She is NOT and expert.

[honeyspark101]

she's riding western. we dont wear protective stuff. and this is a western pleasure horse. that's how its supposed to lope.

[WesternRider505]

Um she is reining you are actually suppost to keep them up high like that. You obviously dont know western. Wether she wears a helmet or not is her choice not yours. Its her life so just let her do what she wants to do. And second she is not that fat at all. And weight does not matter. That horse looks fit enough to carry her weight. So leave her alone.

[westernhorse16]

really, it's her horsem she can ride it however she wants. And no she is not fat, that horse is probably 1100lbs. Adnshe's say, 130. NOt much weight to horse.

[boesem11]

...130 lbs? no way.

[horsecrazygal0809]

poor horse... when you ride a horse you need to tighten your reigns and keep your hands down!

[dcos74]

maybe she should loose some weight da fat fool

[horsegirl71794]

lol.

1. wear a helmet

2. learn how to ride PROPERLY

3. most people who dont ride have no clue what 'lope' is

[iButterscotch]

this is western most people who ride western don't wear a helmet and they ride with one hand and they ride a little more relaxed than English is a little more fancy and lope is the western term for "canter"

[WindWolfProductions]

1. WEAR A HELMET!!!

2. Your horse isn't holding her head correctly. (since you're riding western pleasure).

3. All horses like to be ridden? I know quite a few who don't.

[IsabelSinger]

Wear a helmet and a body guard! If you fall a body guard can protect your chest

[7flyinghecks]

@IsabelSinger

A body guard? Are you serious? She is not jumping or doing rodeo events. This is a show horse that shows in western pleasure classes and a body guard in a western pleasure show ring would look very silly. It would also be overkill since these horses are trained to go very slow. I wear helmet when schooling, but since I show saddle seat I wear a derby hat in the show ring. If you are over 18 it should be your choice to wear a helmet or not without being preached at.

[xxxpeacexxx101]

First your riding western PLEASURE!

Second you are leaning to far back in your saddle

And third trying wearing a riding hat!

[mimifiedx]

and take off her sunglasses XD

[RodeoHorsey]

ok western pleasure means that your not showing. it doesnt mean you have to sonter arounds at a walk all the time. also almost no one who rides western waers a helmet, because it look puney and english. and also in western you are sopost to lean back.

[gurkinz]

maybe you should wear a riding hat

[merjemizkool]

fix dat squeek in your saddle

[RodeoHorsey]

western saddles do that btw.

[mysocksskilletrocks]

your poor horse is so uncomfortable!

[BethPoppy123]

I think your realy good its just stupid people that dont now any thing babe x

[adreamhorse]

you lean back really far.

[RodeoHorsey]

you are supposed to lean back in western

[myponykit]

First,she is riding western PLEASURE and the reins need to be long depending on how the horse is trained to rein...and the saddle pad isn't crooked and she is not too big for the horse.

[Horselvr139]

Finally someone that actually knows something about riding. Yes people, she is riding western pleasure. The horse is supposed to lope/canter that way, it's not uncomfortable. The reins are supposed to be that long and I didn't notice that the pad was crooked. Myponykit, you're awesome for actually being able to see that...

[kansess]

your pad is crooked

and it gets worse from there...

[RodeoHorsey]

well that happends sometimes

[lovelyrita1800]

wow you guys are idiots. she's a western rider riding a pleasure horse... she is supposed to have drape reins and bump up with them like that...

[ultimatehorselover]

Omg Your Horse Looks So Uncomfortable!!!

[nene7133]

oh my god i feel sorry for your horse because your really fat

[charmed6057]

And you're really dull.

[gothiclipstick19]

god! what a horrible rider, the reins are so loose, that horse should of fliped you up the second you got on there.. probably mounted wrong aswell.. jeez what a great expert(!)

[horsebackrider420]

uhhh, shes a western pleasure rider. shes soposed to have her reins loose.

[jawbit]

her reins are soooo loose....

the horse dosn't look comfortable!

neither does she, ever herd of

a rise trot? its comfier

for the horse aswell....

[communitypeach]

A. she's riding western pleasure!

B. how do you know? you probally never ridden a horse

C. In western riding you dont 'rise' or 'post' its called a sitting trot. you can but its not a western thing to do

[remincince7]

@communitypeach umm actually people do post in western riding duh

[RodeoHorsey]

yu obviously dont know how to ride western. we dont "post" or do a "rising trot"

[cittykat205]

i agree with every one else.... and you need some mayjor practice if you truly want to be an "expert"

[Horsierider1]

this reallllly sucks! a horrible rider

[equinestar1407]

she seems VERY comfortable trotting, relaxed & everything.

......not.

[sammkw69]

THIS PERSON SUXS @ RIDING

[WesternHorseGirl]

ive watched all the videos and i dont think you should be saying your an expert you look like your just sitting there, or are you??

[JjGober]

I demand to know who picks these "experts"! What a joke.

What are you doing with your hands???
