Best of the Worst

These are some of my less-than-perfect moments with my hooved friends put to an appropriate song. The great thing about taping your rides is that you can learn from them. I guess it's a good thing that it took me a while to compile enough "bad" moments to make a video. Out of all the hairy situations depicted here, I only fell off twice--the opening picture with Toby (who refused a jump, then decided, oh hell, let's jump it anyway), and the buck with Norton shortly thereafter. Tyco's one refusal going into the 3'6 looks pretty bad, but I actually managed to scurry back down her neck and recover! (The camera battery had died, though. :( ) I'm not looking for critiques on any of these--the errors are kind of obvious in most cases--just embracing my imperfections with the Youtube horse community. :) I'd like to see some video responses with other people's moments!

you need more speed, and you should confirm the jump by hitting the horse with your legs or squeezing its abdomen.

@FranciscoSRO2 I am not interested in critiques. All of these clips are from years ago--the last clip (the "most recent") is almost three years old. Thanks anyway!

You are a good rider. I am sure you have made some improvements since you have had the chance to review your videos... my only suggestion is to try not to collapse your shoulders as much. It will look so much prettier when your shoulders are back and will help in those moments when your horse is pulling you forward out of your seat. But keep on goin' girl... the more you ride, the better you get. And props to your patience!

My shoulders have gotten better, but it's still something I have to fight with. Thank you, but I think the horses are owed some accolades for their patience, too! :)

Are morons still trying to critique this video? Lol! Over three years old and TITLED "The Best of the Worst." Stupidity never ceases to amaze me. ;)

ahhh gotta love horses haha

[1horse1crazy1]

@FranciscoSRO2 i completely disagree

1. she doesn't need more speed because speed doesnt equal a better jump, collection does

2. to make a horse go faster you dont need to hit it all you need to do is adjust your seat
