State Showdown

READ THIS!!!

This was a video collage that my father made of some of the video that we got from the State 4-H Competition in Lexington VA. It's some nice footage, and though there are sections I'm not proud of (such as the excessive use of the crop), please keep in mind that it has been a little over 2 years since this competition, so be nice... ^_^ it my first big State Show.

EDIT:
I'm done explaining myself. Don't critique, and don't give advice. It was three years ago, and I don't need your two-cents. At this point and time, whatever "advice" you'd have to offer in regards to the riding in this video is irrelevant.

EDIT:
one more thing... shut up about the crop people. There's a hell of a lot worse out there, and it isn't "abuse" for christ sake. Get off your high horse and leave people alone... geez.

dont listen to ppls stupid comments ur fine. and do u like using nylon bridle/reins for speed events? i found a set that included a nylon bridle noseband tie down reins and breast strap that i wanted to get for my horse for speed events but idk. and i noticed u lose ur stirrups alot that used to happen to me a lot, u can use a rubber band to keep ur foot in the stirrup and it breaks easily if u fall. great vid. =]

the nylon reins are ok. I actually prefer the braided reins now though. :) But I use nylon when I don't have a matching color, lol. I have nothing against the nylon strips. =D

does ur 4-H group not go by PETA???

bunch of times i go to shows and talk to friends in 4H crops r either not allowed or only three smacks.....

i really think u r fine..it's ain't abuse...i use crops and quirts all the time=]

[moshoneySBM]

*shrug* don't really know if they worry about PETA or not. They allow the crops and whips and stuff, though they do reserve the right to disqualified for improper use of it (such as whipping outside of the actual timed run) and they don't allow cropping, slapping, ect. in front of the cinch, but other than that they're pretty tolerant about it... I don't think I've ever heard of someone getting DQed for it in our district/state.

If you ride horses, which according to your account, you do, you should understand about crops.  She's not "beating the shit out of [her] horse" and you should know that. Otherwise, you need to be educated in what abuse REALLY is.

[lotacars1]

Your right there some horses that need a crop or spurs and some that need nothing

[Agilitystar]

awesome riding!! love your tack!! all mine is lime green too. except my horse is white not black. personally i dont really think you over used your crop. In my opinion a crop is better then using spurs and kicking. Awesome job

[CrazyLady7782]

LOL I almost always game with my feet out of the sturrips just like you did

[equinecoach1]

[cowgirl0913rs]

that was GREAT!!!

you and your horse are AWESOME!!!!

[SoaringMoon]

I dont think you over used your crop.

its better, in my opinion, to use your crop then kick the crap and air outta your horse.

if used properly,

the crop is only asking for speed,

and not abusing your horse.

NOT TRYING TO CAUSE FIGHTS>

JUST STATING MY OPINION.
