Equestrianism - Whats That Rider Thinking?

WOAH! SO finally my computer has come back from surgery and I can make vids again! PLease keep in mind this is only my third every Sony Vegas Vid, and It isn't perfect yet, but hey, what is? I had some majour glitches with my watermark, and I thought I fixed it but when I rendered it you will notice that when another title is on the watermark goes. It is vair vair anoying. This video is meant to demonstate what is going on in a horseriders mind. I hope everyone enjoys it, please comment rate, and a sub would be much appreciated! :D:D:D

Wow amazing! This is the first video i have seen like this! Truly breath taking!

I always find that even though i have so much going through my mind and so much to think about i always find myself so at peace and calm even when im in a jump off round or speed class, i slow everything down in my mind and although my mind is going through everything i've learnt it all just comes naturally?

@MyHorseLife95 thankyou! I am the same, your in overdrive yet just running off feel lol if you ride enough and practise enough it all becomes second nature :) thats the key to good riding is to ride so much you no longer think you just react! I made the video as an example, less of what the rider is thinking and more doing i suppose!

When I'm riding I think... about nothing but the horse and the way I'm riding. Unlike anything else I do to take my mind off of every day life, riding is the only way I can get away from EVERYTHING

@RidingTemptation so true

[klowiie16]

lol when I'm riding I'm normally thinking.... please don't bolt

[loveslife534]

When we ride we think let's just face it. Its what happens lol

Riding also shows that we multitask better than anyone else :D

[horsesinheart]

Really good! But you should have had a clip of someone falling thinking "oh crap" because that's certainly what goes through my mind! ;)

@LetsFlyOnceMore

same here.. i don't feel, everything is more a reflex.. i know exactly what to do before i go on the horse, and after that it just comes. when i start thinking about what to do, i get lost. i am so concentrated, and when this concentration is broken (trainer says something, or i suddenly think ''head up!'') it's like i came back into reality. the only time i rly think about what to do while on the horse, is while falling. (rolling away from the horse etc)

Wow this is AMAZING <3 This is what I'm thinkin all the time when riding !!

[rhia264]

i think what they mean to show people is all we have to think about, not run, shoot, hit whatever. its a lot more complex than other sports and fair eough some people might not think like that, but i sometimes do so, ya know

[CharlieXEquus]

@LetsFlyOnceMore Its a representation of what they are doing AND thinking, obviously we dont think, "right leg" well I dont, however we do have a chain reaction thought process, whereas our brain tells us what we need to apply to make the horse do something, so I suppose, you do sort of think it...

So inspiring. Everytime im in a dressage ring and i salute, The only thing that runs through my head is "Why Am I here doing this? I'm here because I have a true bond between myself and a completely unpredictable creature that could kill me and the only reason I ride is because I love it, Its my way of life"

[CharlieXEquus]

@LetsFlyOnceMore I suppose its more what they're doing than thinking, its just an example :)
