I dont like the word 'Break ' either ! I always use 'backed'. I think it comes down to ability, im 13 and have backed a 2 year old Fell pony ( Yes not a very fiery breed but u dont know him!! He was sent away when he was weaned and was their longer than expected &came back wild.)For the summer i had a 3 year old Trekehner x Connemara but i was able to cope because i have had a lot of experience and help along the way. Yes it isnt advised but i think it depends on the individual . x
Green rider and green horse are most of the time not a good combination. The rider has to know and have confidence in what they're doing, and they need to give the HORSE confidence. If I didn't have confidence while working and training my just-turned-two-year old, he would have been as helpless as a duck. To give a horse good training, they need an experienced rider. I'm not saying send your horse to some expensive trainer, I'm only 14 but I have confidence and knowledge, so I'm qualified.
Pretty paint! I would be SOOO scared riding a horse that's still in training! I would -of course-let him get used to mounting, but I (because of natural instinct) would get onto his back as soon as possible. If he were suddenly to rear while I was taking my time to get on I wowuld be weightless to him and I'd fly off. I would want to get my feet in the stirrups as soon as frickin' possible!
i think that young, yet expirenced riders work better with younge horses. Obviously not like a 5yo on a 2yo unbroke colt or anything. I was 9 when i got my horse who was 2 and VERY green broke. Training him gave us a bond and trust. I also know a 14yo who just got a very green 4yo. They are doing just fine. I wouldnt put a green rider on a green horse (even though i was) but a sane "broke" horse that just needs training in my opinion is the best way to go.
That horse is not green. Omg, I've seen riding school horses worse than that! I trained my horse since he was born and I'm 13. He now competes with me in the Melbourne Royal Show
I heard another way instead of breaking a horse they say 'making a horse' it was in a book so it has to be true. sounds quite strange though and nobody uses it :(
ya i young rider can train/ride a young horse.nice video :)
Check our my video, I am 14 and just under 5foot , And i broke and schooled a 5year old tb x shire he's 15.3 and had only been backed once and thats it . We have gotten so far and he's doing really well :)
im 15 and trined a 3 year old quarter horse. Very dominant horse though. He went to his first show last week and got 1st in his reining class. :) Just because your young doesnt mean you dont have any skill! :)
Keep it up! I rode my small horse from the time he was 4 and I was 9 until the time when he was 8 and I was 13 when we had to sell him because I outgrew him. It was harder then riding a packer, but what I learned was worth it!
lol when i was about 10 or 11 this guy put me on this 2 year old purebred arabian stallion and i fell off. ironically it was just because i slipped off cuz i was on bareback. he didnt do anything. he even looked at me like id broken when i got up from the ground. just had dirt filled underwear ;P got back on and he was fine. lucky me cuz i barely knew anything at the time about riding.
not to sound creepy but how old is the " young girl" cause im 14 and i trained my horse and ive never fallen off of him.. hes three turning four i auguest
my 2 two year olds did the same thing:) we did loads of ground work before we even sat on them. when we finally did ride them they didnt buck or anything:) it shows that this guy knows what he is doing and he did a good job. cutos!!
Thats awesome! I remember my first time getting on a greenie. Now we're actually on a drill team, 5 months later! I can get him to do just about anything, even ride him with a flag in one hand and reins in the other. He even lets me sit on him backwards (bareback) and slide off of his rear end!
I would just say train not "break" as I don't like the word "break". You and the horse always learn together, if you try to make just the horse learn you ain't gonna get anywhere, you must work with the horse and learn with the horse.
can i say she might have wanted a few more lessons before this and of course a young rider can ride a young horse just ask me i have i was the first one to ride my horse when he was 3
back? gentle? start? i also hate the word brake....
im just wondering, how old was she? i backed my first horse at 12 and he was 16hhs! and he was only 4 (wasnt mine) and then at 14 i got my other horse and he was only 5 weeks under saddle.... at 5 a Hanoverian and he's 16.3
bt she did rly well and im pleased it went well :D. the pony is wonderful
reading comments makes me LAUGH! But i strongly believe that young riders can ride young horses if they have the knowledge and expierience, and every horse is different i grew up around my mom breaking horses(2 a year) and we had some that you could get on the first time and they never reared once! (rare but possible) So you never know! Always depends on the horse and rider! :)
I schooled a three years old horse once :) If the rider is good at the thing age doesn't matter. If i could school a three years old that almost killed everyone who sat on him, yeah i'm sure others can do it. I mean, i did hurt myself and i did get a little scared at the beginning, but you always have to learn there is nothing to be afraid of. The horse is now sold to a guy who is really good and he calls me and tells me about how good i worked with that horse. I actualy miss that time.
JooliaxMoolia - Some horses don't buck because they "love their owners" they don't buck because whoever trained them did a great job of preparing them to carry a rider by doing A LOT of ground work and desensitizing! Yikes - as a professional horse trainer it really scares me when I hear people applying human reasoning to a horse.
Also, I don't believe the method shown in this video is a good, smart or safe way to start a young horse.
I agree that they don't buck because they had good training, but I think it depends on the rider too. Obviously, it depends on how good the rider is etc., but maybe it is partially because they love their rider. Horses are animals, and can love and hate.
Also, I believe this is a smart, good AND a safe way to start a young horse, so long as you have someone ready to help. This method is more built up on trust, which I much prefer to more... 'forceful' methods.
No, it is not even 'partially' because they "love" their rider. Believe me, I used to want to and did believe this, too, but it just isn't true! They may not buck because they "trust" their rider, but not because they "love" their rider. And even horses that completely trust their rider might buck. If one does the groundwork and properly prepares the horse - assistance nor force is needed to have a successful first ride. (Speaking from YEARS of experience.) Other methods work MUCH better!
Which other methods have you tried that work MUCH better? All of the horses I've ever helped train/watched being trained have done very well with the method shown in the video. Although, it wasn't done all at once. They always mastered their groundwork and this part of the process took over 1 month to complete.
kids sometimes are better as they're lighter and usually calmer. when i was younger my trainer took me with her to start babies and it worked out great
Any rider CAN go on any horse, but sometimes it doesn't work sometimes it does, i mean they can but, its usually not a good thing.. you COULD but best not..
Check it out, it can be done- my four year old son on our 4 year old tennessee walker- I trained this horse from the ground up- he was untouched and ungelded at age 3! YES you can put young riders and young horses together with work!
One way oftraining a horse to be ridden is to teach it to be driven in harness. Cos then you have teached the horse the signals of your voice and the reins and that stuff. Then you got about 40-50% done already. We did this with a horse I helped take care of and when he was 2 yo we started training him with a light harness. Actually jsut briddle but with a hackamore ong reins and not until he was 3 we used a carriage. Now he's 5 and ridden and really great. he's crossbreed shire/ardennaise
I think that it's not your age that matters but your knowledge about horses, "breakings" and tht kind of stuff that matters the most. Ofcourse you shouldn't put a small kid on a youngster cos you never know what a youngster will do they are unpredictable. As a rule most people say that the younger the rider the older the horse. The younger the horse the older the rider. Int hsi saying I 'spose age is experience. At least I hope so.
There is a kid that I know he's seven now, but has been breaking horses for me since he was 5. He gets on them when they're about a year and a half, I think he might be lighter than a saddle. He just gets on bareback, and we break the horse that way. I always raise my horses from birth, so they never buck because I've worked with them from the start.
bouncyshoeheads - what a stupid idea, letting a 5 year old get on a one year old horse! First of all you shouldnt even be on a horse until its 3! And 'so they never buck because I've worked with them from the start' oh yeah because a horse is really gonna think 'oh no i definetely won't buck because I looooove my owner so very much!' wow some people...
if the kid is light enough, the horse might not even notice, that is alright, but i dont think its a good idea to start breaking the horse before its 3...
I can asnwer that question ... I see everyday some middle aged dressage queens ruining young horses fresh out of Germany and I can say with certitude that I would much prefer have these babies ridden by a gentle kid with soft hands , instead of these brutal bitches who ride like they ride tractors .... children do well with horses becaue of their kid ways and compassion .... the music is horrible on that video ...
I was 8 when we got two wild 5 year old welsh ponies from the meat man £20 each. I backed both and only came of them twice and once was when he fell over him self, and these where ponies of the mountains and never been or seen a person for 5 years. I then got a 4 month old foal when i was 15, but i have been backing horses since i was 8 and riding since i was 2 and i am now 20 grrrr
You did great! I know form experience that breaking a horse isn't easy lol! Two professional's togther couldn't back my wild horse. lol Me and parents were the only ones able to get near him (and back him).
You did a wonderful job, doing it yourself ;-) If a horse trusts you and you have the skill, passion & love to do it, I believe there's no better way to start your horse.
i first train a horse when i was 10 im 11 i have been riding since i was 3 but i never really had a horse that needed to be broke so whe i turned 9 we got a 1 yr horse then when i turned 10 it was 2 sooo i trained it all my family are not as good rider as me eccept my dad but he dont care to much bout horses but my mom is terified of bucking horses so im always the one to ride the new horse
im gonna start horse riding sterday my mom offered meh to try it a few years ago and last year but know im feeling confedint and im also only 10...i kinda felt scared before but know im up to the top and gonna ask meh mom again! thanks!
personally i like training or starting instead of breaking but i have heard backing but thats just not a term i used. i believe a young rider can train a young horse but it depends on the horse and the riders experience. I'm 16 nd im training a 2 yr old gelding but i have been riding green horse since i was 7
Yes they can. I ride green horses constantly. Hell we put my nine year old cousin on horses who have never been ridden before. Though we keep a close eye on him ,and stay in the round pen just incase something goes wrong.
ii Have Broken A Horese, (ii Knoe That Yuh Don't Like That Word Butt Soryy ii Didn't Knoe A Word For It,) Any Way As ii Sed ii Have Broken A Horse And ii Am Only Maybe Just A Bit Older Than Her, Of Course it Possile, Great Vid Tho ;) x,
I think it is true that a young rider can train a young horse or get on it for the first time. me and my friend do it all the time to the yearlings and two year olds. but they are all siblings and all have great minds and I had no trouble training my two year old. he was actually perfect for me! it depends on the minds of the horses in my opinion.
i broke my first horse when he was 3 years and i was 9 and he had been abused before i got him he was perfect now he is 8 and still perfect ( perfect for me), he doesn't act like he remebers it but he hates the saddle but thats ok cause i hate it too lol, i usually ride bare back with a rope around his nose
i ride a 6 year old and let me just say whin we go on trils throgh the creeks i get hell wet he thinks its funney to find the deepes parts of the creeks and play in them
if a young rider is quiet they are fine to back horses....i used to with my trainer all the time. i trained my first horse at 11 and it worked out fine. i think it depends on the trainer and rider
we call it being "backed" rather than broken, the latter is not a nice term to use in my eyes!
P.S I`ve just bought a green 4yr old, & me being used to 18yr old & upwards horses it`s a learning curve for both of us!! but we`re doing pretty well so far!! :O)
i have always ridden a 13.2hh cob who is 19 but then i got a 7 yr old who i sold as he was dangerous. i then got my 19 yr old back and i am now thinking of retiring her. like i said, she is 13.2hh and im going onto horses around, 15hh to 15.3hh and its gonna be younger so im not to sure what to expect. x
I am very happy to see that there is a video of a young person riding a green horse. Most people believe that mostly older people should be "breaking" horses. I disagree entirely. I have "broke" a 6 year old Mustang from out west and my fellow riders have "gentled" some horses as well. It's all about experience I suppose. :)
There are diffrent ways of breaking although it was a term used involving violence in teaching them. But with some horses it may be neccecary. But I don't mean bloodying them up. Just a slap on the neck or something. Just to get it through their head.
I dont like the word 'Break ' either ! I always use 'backed'. I think it comes down to ability, im 13 and have backed a 2 year old Fell pony ( Yes not a very fiery breed but u dont know him!!

And on the stable where i rode, our best rider was a 12 yr old.
She rode only for 4 years and breaked almost all the new horses that came to the stable.
We had a 20 yr old, who rode for 14 years, and he couldn't break a horse.
He even still had troubles with bucking/rearing horses.

Check it out, it can be done- my four year old son on our 4 year old tennessee walker- I trained this horse from the ground up- he was untouched and ungelded at age 3! YES you can put young riders and young horses together with work!

'back' could be used instead of 'break'

Why do horses smell like horses.

I believe "start" is a better word than "break" for the beginning of training under saddle with a rider

One way oftraining a horse to be ridden is to teach it to be driven in harness. Cos then you have teached the horse the signals of your voice and the reins and that stuff. Then you got about 40-50% done already. We did this with a horse I helped take care of and when he was 2 yo we started training him with a light harness. Actually jsut briddle but with a hackamore ong reins and not until he was 3 we used a carriage. Now he's 5 and ridden and really great. he's crossbreed shire/ardennaise

I think that it's not your age that matters but your knowledge about horses, "breakings" and tht kind of stuff that matters the most. Ofcourse you shouldn't put a small kid on a youngster cos you never know what a youngster will do they are unpredictable. As a rule most people say that the younger the rider the older the horse. The younger the horse the older the rider. Int hsi saying I 'spose age is experience. At least I hope so.

There is a kid that I know he's seven now, but has been breaking horses for me since he was 5. He gets on them when they're about a year and a half, I think he might be lighter than a saddle. He just gets on bareback, and we break the horse that way. I always raise my horses from birth, so they never buck because I've worked with them from the start.

bouncyshoeheads - what a stupid idea, letting a 5 year old get on a one year old horse! First of all you shouldnt even be on a horse until its 3! And 'so they never buck because I've worked with them from the start' oh yeah because a horse is really gonna think 'oh no i definetely won't buck because I looooove my owner so very much!' wow some people...
katieluvstoto 2 years ago
if the kid is light enough, the horse might not even notice, that is alright, but i dont think its a good idea to start breaking the horse before its 3...
megelln 2 years ago
I agree with the 5 yo thing, but its two years old, and some horses dont buck, because they DO love their owners, and some could care less.

I can asnwer that question ... I see everyday some middle aged dressage queens ruining young horses fresh out of Germany and I can say with certitude that I would much prefer have these babies ridden by a gentle kid with soft hands , instead of these brutal bitches who ride like they ride tractors .... children do well with horses becaue of their kid ways and compassion .... the music is horrible on that video ...

What about backing?
I hate 'breaking' too.
Everyone would ask me when I was going to 'break' my horse, and I was like I'm not. I'm going to back him in a few weeks though lol
Best thing I've ever done :)
This is a gorgeous pony!

Thanks for your comment. Backing your own horse or pony is indeed a nice way to start a good relationship built on trust and friendship.

I was 8 when we got two wild 5 year old welsh ponies from the meat man £20 each. I backed both and only came of them twice and once was when he fell over him self, and these where ponies of the mountains and never been or seen a person for 5 years. I then got a 4 month old foal when i was 15, but i have been backing horses since i was 8 and riding since i was 2 and i am now 20 grrrr

You did a wonderful job, doing it yourself ;-) If a horse trusts you and you have the skill, passion & love to do it, I believe there's no better way to start your horse.

personally i like training or starting instead of breaking but i have heard backing but thats just not a term i used. i believe a young rider can train a young horse but it depends on the horse and the riders experience. I'm 16 nd im training a 2 yr old gelding but i have been riding green horse since i was 7

Yes they can. I ride green horses constantly. Hell we put my nine year old cousin on horses who have never been ridden before. Though we keep a close eye on him ,and stay in the round pen just incase something goes wrong.

I think it is true that a young rider can train a young horse or get on it for the first time. me and my friend do it all the time to the yearlings and two year olds. but they are all siblings and all have great minds and I had no trouble training my two year old. he was actually perfect for me! it depends on the minds of the horses in my opinion.
Misterbarstwo21 2 years ago
at my barn we say train rather than break because thats what your doing. your training them to tolerate a saddle, reins, and rider.
blackpheonix1254 2 years ago
i broke my first horse when he was 3 years and i was 9 and he had been abused before i got him he was perfect now he is 8 and still perfect ( perfect for me), he doesn't act like he remebers it but he hates the saddle but thats ok cause i hate it too lol, i usually ride bare back with a rope around his nose

if a young rider is quiet they are fine to back horses....i used to with my trainer all the time. i trained my first horse at 11 and it worked out fine. i think it depends on the trainer and rider
flamingpoet6887 2 years ago
we call it being "backed" rather than broken, the latter is not a nice term to use in my eyes!
P.S I`ve just bought a green 4yr old, & me being used to 18yr old & upwards horses it`s a learning curve for both of us!! but we`re doing pretty well so far!! :O)

yes me too.
i have always ridden a 13.2hh cob who is 19 but then i got a 7 yr old who i sold as he was dangerous. i then got my 19 yr old back and i am now thinking of retiring her. like i said, she is 13.2hh and im going onto horses around, 15hh to 15.3hh and its gonna be younger so im not to sure what to expect. x

I am very happy to see that there is a video of a young person riding a green horse. Most people believe that mostly older people should be "breaking" horses. I disagree entirely. I have "broke" a 6 year old Mustang from out west and my fellow riders have "gentled" some horses as well. It's all about experience I suppose. :)
Great VIdeo
isupportrednecks 2 years ago
There are diffrent ways of breaking although it was a term used involving violence in teaching them. But with some horses it may be neccecary. But I don't mean bloodying them up. Just a slap on the neck or something. Just to get it through their head.
beatles64865 2 years ago
starting a horse or gentling them are other terms for braking. I know, I don't like that word either.
