to all you dip shits who say this is cruel... get over it.! if you have a problem with it then exit out and continue to enjoy pony club. You hate cuz your jealous that your not good enough to do this. If the horse didnt want to jump, it wouldn't have.... sucks to suck..

@AmalamCooper Do you ride? Because I have ridden for 10 years and if a horse doesn't want to jump, it won't. At the end of the day they are bigger and stronger than us and don't have to do what we want at all. The top comment would be that the horse is in a snaffle. Do you know what a snaffle is? Did you notice he doesn't even touch the horse with his crop? That horse could easily refuse. Do you know what that is? Horses refuse a lot. And tail swishing is also a sign of excitement. Idiot.

@babzisamazen No we hate this because it is horrible on their legs and joints.

@buttercupbabyx001 you dont know what kind of snaffle it was. The bit could have just as well been very harsh. Just because it's a snaffle doesnt mean it's kind.

@frumples143 Yes I ride. I'm also studying a degree in this stuff meaning I've read books and research papers to find out what the actual facts are. A horse can refuse, but that doesn't mean every time it doesn't it wanted to jump. It'd much rather be in the feild eating and pooping. Tail swishing is a sign of annoyance and distress. They are bigger and stronger than us but they're also conditioned to behave against their nature from a very young age.

I wonder if this horse knew what he would/could do when it was geting on the trailer to go to this arena <3

@babzisamazen Don't assume people are jealous. I don't like this video because it's an unecessary risk to the horse (and the rider, though he had the choice to do it) for the sake of a bit of glory. Do you honestly believe that a horse wouldn't do something it doesn't want to? If that was the case you wouldn't have to break them in. All of riding involves getting a horse to act against its nature. Oh, and to others on here: tail swishing is not a sign of happiness.
