- Laura Sumrall won the 2015 world championship freestyle title at the Kentucky Reining Cup in Lexington over the weekend performing to the hit song ‘Let It Go” from the Disney movie “Frozen.”
Forget the rider, it was a genius of a horse--Whiskey- with the biggest heart Ive ever seen- giving everything hes got. Thinking intensely, never hesitating, trusting completely, a physical miracle. What a phenon of a horse!
Every horse I’d a reflection of its trainer. Don’t believe me? Try training a horse for any discipline then see what you think
@@amosesh5898 The horse is a reflection of the rider. The horse has to have the ability to do the work and the correct training brings that out. You have to be a phenomenal rider to perform at that level. If it was easy anyone could get on a good horse and getthe same result then it wouldn't mean anything
This is a partnership. The horse is having as much fun as the woman.
@@amosesh5898 it's a combination of rider, training, and natural ability. A champion will lose if the rider is bad or a mediocre one can win with the right rider but if they have it all look out
Forget the rider? They both need each other
It’s amazing how she’s barely holding into the reins and yet her horse is responding so well to her
Directing with feet, legs, and shifting weight. Movies of the Royal Lipizzan Stallions and how they're trained explained that very well.
@@nancyhowell4505 and massive spurs. Not quite so perfect
@@Myella1703 did you manage to catch what kind of spurs? I’ve heard there are humane ones but even then you have to know how to use them correctly
@@destinitaylor4360 Not quite sure, they look like western spurs to me. It’s hard to see but you can catch a glimpse when the dress blows back they’re very long in any case. In my opinion there’s no need for spurs if the horse is well trained and trusts you.
A well trained horse can work just as well without using leg pressure and other signals if I remember correctly in dressage your are supposed to not make any visible movements or you can get penalized and you can't tell when they have given the horse any commands the riders use their thighs and have a whip that can almost reach the horses knee but I don't pay attention to that I like jumping but they still use signals other than the reins
What a magnificent horse. I noticed that the rider is barely holding onto the reins. The music is terrific. Horses are very intelligent and they prove it every day.
The horse is indeed very intelligent. The rider is using slight signals that the horse is very good at picking up. You can definitely see hat the horse understand s body language very well and I am guessing she is using her legs a lot too. Very intelligent and focused horse. It is obvious the horse is focusing and trusting the rider with every step
thats normal
The riders us there feet to signal to the horse. Like put ur feet back and the horse moves back. it take lots of time with ur horse. The judges don't want to see ur signals to the horse so the dress did a great job hiding them. The best part was her standing and the horse not running faster.
You use your full body to ride a horse. Tbh, you can typically ride a horse using the base of the mane and then directing with your legs and heels and hips (direction you lean). It's been a while since I've gone horse riding but you want to be gentle with the reigns
I would be flying so elegantly if the horse was cantering that fast and then stopped like that. XD
Omg I cried laughing reading that 😂😂😂
No you wouldn't
Same lol 😂
Maybe
No I think If you never ride a horse you would probably fall of but could probably
I’m an old guy with an old buckskin quarter horse. We’re working on going sideways, it’s a process that requires patience and I’m learning right along with him. This video gave me goosebumps! What a team! The horse looks as happy as the human! It’s as though he’s saying to the audience, “Look what WE can do”!
I wish I had a horse! It seems like such an adventure working with one!
Buckskin is just a beautiful coat, they are almost golden!
@@callmeodd1527 agreed, I adore them 😍
Have patience and maybe consider help from someone with a dressage background. And remember to weight your seat bones properly
Focus on rein work and cues on the legs
You know how loved he is, those 2 have a special bond. A horse doesn't respond like that with just training alone. They deserve the win, great job!
Actually , the horse DOES respond like that with just training alone. Horse's face looks annoyed throughout most of this performance. He's not doing this because he wants to. Open your eyes and open them WIDE.
These relationships with people and animals really bring a tear to my eye. You know that horse has to love her to perform so beautifully and I think she loves it to
As much as a slave can love their master. Don't you think this horse would much rather do anything than be forced to entertain humans?
@@mindE10101 My thoughts exactly!!
You think? lol.
I don’t think anyone can reach that level of proficiency working as a team with their pet and not dearly love them. The love is mutual - that’s where the trust comes from. Without the love, they wouldn’t be competing.

What a outstanding horse, outstanding performance and well deserved win. Brought tears to my eyes!
Me too! Why am I crying?
Me too! Don't know why I would cry but I did. So beautiful.
You guys are emotional…
@@lylahlittle5461 yes well I'm pregnant so maybe that's why😅
But it was so beautiful to see the horse work so hard just made my heart happy.
I am glad I am not alone. It was beautiful. The horse and the rider work well together.
Training the horse’s moves according to the music played and have him memorize everything is beyond explanation. I love this horse 😘😘😘💗💕
I don’t think she had the horse memorize that. She’s trained her so well that the horse responds to tiny commands and changes in her balance. Super duper impressive! Something I could never do 😍
That horse had no clue about the music
He is a reigning horse, they are trained with the riders leg movements and how she sits the saddle.
Foot work babyy
The movement of horse is a learned exercise. The horse responding to her, in spite of the music.
As a Reiner myself, you practice parts of your patten(s), then put everything together in the ring. You definitely do NOT want your horse "memorizing" anything because then they begin to anticipate the next move to occur in the arena....... Not Good! Beautiful partnership!!!!!! Breathtaking!
This just proves that horses are just big dogs! They can be so so enthusiastic while doing tricks and working with their rider. They can also enjoy what they do and excel tremendously with patience and hardwork! Good job to both
@@IamSweetViolet right, especially greyhounds hahaha! they're horses
I can't with the lead change. Literally the smoothest thing I've ever seen in my life. This was beautiful. This is true horseback riding
Literally!! Those stops and her barely touching the reins aswell, magnificent
When I first saw this pop up I thought ok I'm gonna watch a woman on a horse do some tricks and by the end of the dance..I literally am uncontrollably sobbing at how stunning and AMAZING this beautiful animal is and how freaking smart.. Props to you both.. WOW
Same!
Im crying too! Soo good!
@@babybruv6389 ohhh goodness its BEYOND amazing 💙🐾💯
@@attorneycarissa YESSSSSS 💙🐾
You don’t know what is needed to make this performance happen, just go take 1 riding class, and you’ll ralise the magic with this performance.
I was in the audience that performance. I was like 10 and even seeing so much stuff in Rolex, the reining show hooked me. All the performances were awesome but this was just magical. The horse, the rider, the music, the way they flow together. Agh blows my mind to this day
The horse is the champion beauty. When a horse is treated with love, kindness, respect it will give that human back. Training is patience, abuse will not give results. 🐎♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
Actually abuse gives results. That's why some do it. I don't think it is right... but both methods work
@UrGirlApple for people that abuse animals, they don't care if it gives pain. For example, if you hit a horse with a whip it will make it go faster. But a horse will also go faster just because it loves the person. They don't want to wait around to get a good relationship. Whipping isn't even the worst thing that they do in horse racing. They ride them before they are old enough to be ridden. This causes their body to break down sooner. But they don't care because they got their money.
Yes they will get bad consequences as well as the results they want.
So many little girls were probably losing their minds! That was perfection. Beautiful horse.
Freaking awsome ... Brought tears to my eyes ... What teem work ... Shes amazing and so beautiful and the horse just knows every command even before she gives it it's just amazing
I love how quiet she is with her hands! Lovely teamwork :)
She is soft but that horse probably has a crap ton of bit in his mouth. But still an amazing performance!
Beautiful performance. Horse & rider absolutely in synch.
WOW gave me the goose bumps! They weren't just a horse and rider they were one! Beautiful beautiful beautiful ❤️❤️❤️ The trust between them is incredible I would watch this team any day!
Her horse is loving this. He knows the rythm and beats and moving right along with it ❤️
Their beautiful perfection brought a lump to my throat and tears to my eyes. Took my breath away! 🥰😂
I can’t wait to show this to my daughter when she gets home from school, she loves Elsa!! 🥺just amazing! What a wonderful horse.
I might sound crazy to some people but I swear I had a past life that involved being close to horses because I've never rode a horse a day in my life but anytime I see something beautiful like this I get so emotional, I'm over here literally crying. Like why??? This was great, thank you.
I feel similarly, I'm sitting here nearly sobbing from the beauty of it and laughing at myself at the same time hahaha I'm still wiping tears off my face! So wonderful!
No ur not crazy, it's dogs for me
So schöööööön! Ein grosses Lob an das tolle Pferd und an die Reiterin!! So harmonisch, spielerisch!
Danke!💝
Damn ! That got me all emotional. I am not an emotional person usually. That was a beautiful performance.
1 single tear snuck out and hit the pillow... I'm so confused right now 😆
And I'm a ruff n tuff roll my own tampons kind gal 😂😂😂...jk jk
I love the way he just picks up his leads and lead changes he doesn’t really hop into them
Who's the stat?
I know absolutely nothing about horses, but that gave me the shivers. Amazing duo!
I seriously got chills watching this. That horse is amazing and the rider worked so well with him. What a fantastic performance.
What a beautiful, beautiful horse ! Him cantering , stretchig those legs and leaping forward looks so powerful ! Great work , though I always prefer to see a riders seat and legs to watch exactly when he gives commands, how intensive hw acts and how exactly the horse reacts... I love black horses anyway. They look so elegant with their shiny fur, at least when they are well cared for.
In dressage which is similar you get penalized for that which is why they are so extensively trained and extremely expensive and it can take years for a rider to get to grand prix or top competition levels by expensive an untrained horse can cost 50,000 and a trained one can be 100,000 or more depending on level of training, breeding, and experience. But I'm not an expert on dressage or reining but I have learned from reading and looking things up
The team work, the bond and the effort both put in. It’s insane. These two beautiful creatures are so well worked together that they know what they want from eachother without even needing to show eachother. It’s pure teamwork. This bond is so incredibly beautiful
This is no doubt absolutely beautiful and this horse is so wonderfully trained, but I have to admit I'm more impressed with the ones that do the Freestyle with no bridle at all. They go through the exact same motions, but with absolutely no rein whatsoever. Again, I'm not taking anything away from this performance... it was very awesome!
It could be that the riders just not ready for without or the horses isn't trained for it because they need to be retrained and I don't think she'd be able to do the stops without a saddle the goal is minimal use of the bridal not all horses can perform without at least at that level but I don't think so. But for safety reasons just like you could ride your own horse in a halter but you wouldn't take it on a trail ride in a halter
Every time someone states "I'm not taking anything away from this..." BUT---you know that person is lying through their 'smile.'
@@jb6712
Not always, if they didn’t put that a lot of people would attack them lmao
"Let the storm rage on" as he thunders down the arena, her dress billowing behind her in such an emotional image. Loved every second of this.
AMAZING! That rider needs to change ‘whimpee’s top model’s name to Bob Fosse, because that horse? Dances like no other. Fabulous, truly.
The love and trust these two have for each other shows in this amazing performance
That horse's training is amazing. The trust between horse and rider... wow! 🤯
This performance brought tears to my eyes...absolutely superb!❤
Очень красиво!!! Какое единение душ!!! 👏👏👏🌹🌸🌹 Благодарю.
Very nice comment spot on
Beautiful!! My grandaugther had speach delays, she loved this movie she tryed too sing let it go!! In the parking lot of Walmart , sitting in a shopping cart!! She was so cute!!
That was an amazing performance. Timing and moves on que and making that look easy, that is amazing. The horse stayed willingly engaged, that is careful years of training.
The MOST BEAUTIFUL performance I have ever seen! 😭😭 Amazing
This is really cool at the moment I’m a dressage rider training and omg thoes half passes were so clean and she was barely holding the rains they were so soft
What a beautiful thing to watch as a horse lady myself I've always wanted to do this on a white or grey horse but did barrel racing in stead and let me tell you this Lady can ride very good very smooth strong rider did not see her moving around on the horse at all very good rythm horse looked relaxed beautiful horse and beautiful lady and beautiful performance
Horses are such remarkable creatures. They have such grace and strength and are mesmerizing to watch. If I lived in the country, I’d have a stable full. God did a wonderful thing for us when he gave us horses. ❤️💗💕
Wow, this had me in tears....what a team. An absolute joy to watch horse and rider in total harmony ❤️
gave me chills too lol
amazing
The bond, trust and communication between animal and human is amazing when done correctly and this was a perfect example of that ❤️
GOOSEBUMPS! Amazing horsemanship!
I hope that horse gets lots of love, snuggles, and treats!❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Absolutely beautiful horse and amazing that it has been trained to do such a intricate routine, however I found myself cringing every time it would come to a halt thinking that it was going to hurt its legs. I would be just as happy to see this beautiful creature galloping around a paddock living it s best life.
My God you just made me cry, literally. Amazing
That brought tears to my eyes. So beautiful.
That horse is so talented. Good job, buddy💕
Yes, going round and round in circles and then backwards is so much fun for the horse and it looks so natural like horses do this all the time.
You're like the vegan "teacher" on tiktok who got mad about seeing a horse run in a straight line because "horses don't do that". She too knew nothing about horses.
Absolutely stunning! Absolutely amazing what discipline and intelligence the horse has, but when he got up to speed and then abruptly stopped, it was almost a shame. I know that is the art of it, but just to see him run and run would be absolutely thrilling!!
I'm not a huge horse fan, or anything, but this made me tear up. Beautiful.
That horse is absolutely AMAZING!!! 😍😍😍❤️❤️❤️❤️
creative, and we'll thought out...amazing horse as well! great team. i enjoyed this video very much. thank you!
This was super cute! I loved it! I’m usually someone who prefers when a rider doesn’t outshine a horse and kind of just disappears but the horse looks happy so I’m happy! It’s a nice performance
Super cute? Horses don't like this, as well as you would not like it if you were him.
Mente Olistica being able to ride the horse without using a bridle, hackamore etc... Is a show of trust so obviously the horse trusts her.
If someone educates you with lashes on the skull, you would act like this horse. Let's try?
Mente Olistica I’m pretty sure if they lashed the horse on the skulll they wouldn’t act like that. Being able to ride without a bridle is a show of trust on both sides. I doubt they lash them on the skull because the horse and the girl are both trusting each other to do what they were supposed to do. Plus, if they were lashed on the skull or beaten, you would see those injuries. The horse community is tired of people barging in when they don’t understand what’s going on.
@@menteolistica8843 well someone has never seen a horse in their life
The horse is perfection❤ AMAZING
The HORSE is PHENOMENAL... warmed EVERY PART of my HEART!💜💜💜💜Beautiful performance!
The quick stopping always makes me wince, I think the horse is so close to getting a torn ligament or even just a break. :S
They make boots for the sliding stops and that's why their legs are bandaged it's the same with jumpers
Yeah that last skid looked like he got caught up on something for a second... I'm no expert but it looked a bit off.. idk.
yes, some of the maneuvers are considered a punishment to a horse- also, it's ears are pulled back most of the time indicating that it's not happy just following through w/ thousands of hours of training to get to this point-
@@ahershey8523 Yeah.. I'm very aware of the equestrian world.. the goods and the bads.. there are lots of ignorant "methods" of training horses... a lot are initially abusive.. some believe that's the way.. but there are those who know well and otherwise.. some are knowing of the abuse, and some just were taught it's okay..
I can't see how a horse can enjoy being pulled up like that or spun around , must have put up with an awful lot of training to do that routine, not a fan sorry,
Oh man that gives me chills
I’ve never been happier to be from a city where this isn’t even possible 🙏🏻
So beautiful brings me to tears, got me so emotional. This is the most beautiful display of heart and soul of rider and horse relationship.
What a horse, what teamwork! ❤❤❤
Ok I really don’t know the first thing about riding like that but one question: is it true that the horse suffers a lot of joint problems every time it has to leap forward and then stop abruptly? It also just seems so risky for the horse to do spins so speedily because it’s joints could so easily snap if it makes one wrong move
This made me cry! What a BEAUTIFUL horse! Can’t wait to meet him in heaven, ‘cause I’m sure that majesty has earned his wings. 🥰
MAGNIFICENT PERFORMANCE from HORSE and Rider. The horse definitely stole the show
I think the horse should have won. What a wonderful animal.
This is what I imagine when I think of cowboys and back when people rode the same horse day in and day out for decades, how they would know each other so well they would be like 2 parts of a whole when riding.
This is absolutely beautiful. Stunning performance for the horse and rider!
That horse deserves all the credit.
They spent many days and hours working together to achieve this.
"The cold never bothered me anyway " but this brought tears to my eyes... magnificent!
That horse has an amazing heart. Well done to both.
😭👏 that’s so beautiful, thank you for
this …. Such an amazing bond , well done
I had tears in my eyes watching them. What a beautiful sight. Spent time with horses in my youth I wish I still did ❤️❤️🇬🇧❤️❤️
So beautiful! Amazing. I can watch it over and over again.
Amazing to see this magical collaboration 💗and a lot of love.💗
Congratulations 🎉👏😊!
Well deserved! Both 💗of you🏆
UA-cam just suggested this to me on Dec.1, 2021and I'm so glad. I grew up on a horse farm and was horse crazy as a kid. I haven't ridden in over 25 years but seeing the beautiful relationship between the horse and rider brought me to tears. Awesome showmanship too!!
So beautiful. The horse did so well. The love between rider and horse are amazing. 💜💙💜💙
the way they stops on long runs.....looks like it could do serious harm to the horses legs and back long term ....why I am the only one considering the horse....its not natural to stop like this
Amazing !!!
Absolutely amazing !! So much trust & love between horse & rider !! So beautiful to watch !!!
No horse listens & performs that well unless they love & are bonded to their rider 🥺🥺 what a lovely pair of best friends!! 🥲🥲
That made me cry!! What a beautiful animal and performance!!!
Fantastic timing and dance moves from horse and rider! Beautiful piece.💓
Intelligent, beautiful horse.⭐️⭐️👏👏👏
The best “eleven” stop I’ve ever seen “eleven” is in They Died With Their Boots On when Errol Flynn’s Custer horse slides to a perfect stop.
2:08 My favorite part
I'm not a horse rider, but it seems like the horse could easily snap it's legs or end up with shin splints doing this abrupt stops... what s/he was made to do???
Woah! That horse is so talented, it must really love dancing!
Pure beauty, intelligence, hard work and dedication. ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️ Brings tears to my eyes ...
It gave me chills, amazing!
Truly this horse is sent straight from the hand of God. The humility and discipline is incredibly displayed here.
He had taken such good care of his rider Laura.
What a blessing they have one another and what a blessing to have witnessed the kind love they share.
You can feel how much love there is between them. Absolutely stunning!!!
Beautiful the way the horse responds. Perfect
amazing rider amazing horse amazing performance!
Beautiful !!!!!
I don’t know why this was in my recommended, but WOW - what a beautiful and majestic animal! 🐎👏🏻💗
What an incredible horse!! 👏👏👏🙌🙌
