My old trainer, who I started riding with when I was 9, once we had a good seat and knew enough, would alternate saddle with stirrups, to saddle without every day. Then it was saddle with no stirrups to bareback every day. My seat got so good it took freak accidents to get me off. Then we were schooling advanced Dressage and jumping without a saddle. Then we had to lose our reins. The school master she had was INCREDIBLE. A slight shift in your seat and she knew what you wanted. If you asked wrong, she'd pin her ears while you were riding. You could do one tempi's, bareback and without a bridle. Just AMAZING. Mare was worth her weight in gold and then some.
Kerrits are my favorite brand, they’re so affordable and so grippy! I used to wear them to ride early in the morning and then go to school and they stuck to the desk chairs! All of their products also come with a packet of carrot seeds that you can plant 😊 (at least in the US they do)
You are an incredible rider and its so touching how loving and good you are to your horse….i don’t ride horses anymore so i watch this episode or whatever all the time to make me feel like I’m riding again.
I just started riding 3 months ago - and I cannot fathom for the LIFE OF ME how you just jumped that course bareback. Holy shit. Incredible. Your leg didn’t move AT ALL. Also, your dad’s commentary is absolutely golden and I look forward to it every video 🤣🤣
it takes time and practice. i’ve been riding for about 9 years, albeit on and off, and i can count on one hand the amount of times i’ve even cantered bareback. you’ll get there !
Mia Price haha for my mares field it’s the dun mare😂😂😂 a few days ago my pony was literally just standing there peeing and then she went up behind her and kicked her😢😂😂😂
Your dad is a Legend. You can see how your lovely, positive attitude has been nurtured. Don’t be too homesick - you can see he’s proud as punch of you xx
Equestrian dad at it again with his epic commentary haha I can barely jump a cross pole with a saddle and stirrups so kudos to you girl haha I love the look of Kerrits clothing and they are super inclusive with sizing too which, as you know, I fully back! They are on my list to try hehe
Great Job. Its something people should do alot more of. Its a great way to feel exactly how evenly you sit on your seatbones and how good your core is. Also it helps you to feel how straight the horse is going and how evenly the use the hind legs. His initial reaction was interesting. But by the end you were both very comfortable.
I’m thinking I’d need a Captain Morgan sponsorship to attempt pulling this off 😂 amazing video Holly! hope things are going well for you in quarantine! Xx
The disappointment in your dad's voice every time you went over a jump and DIDN'T get bucked was absolutely hilarious. Hope you're faring well in isolation!
Good ride! He's a fine little jumper and your seat is just lovely. I really enjoy watching smaller people on smaller horses. Love the Kerrits too - we can get them in Canada and they fit and wear well!
@@NoThankUBeQuiet no its not just for kids, i think you have to compete in the shows before it to qualify. its just some younger people have more confidence and guts to do it
Loving seeing Kerrits over in Ireland! 😄 I had the opportunity to model for the company a few years ago - if you’re needing to stay cool over in Australia, seriously consider trying out Kerrits ice fill full seat riding tights! They actually cool your skin! 😄
Oh my God! Can I pleeeeeease have a balance like you? I'm terrified of riding without saddle! Only time I did it, my horse kept looking at me like: "hey crazy, u ok?" I'm impressed! Wow!
Hi your horse is absolutely stunning I thoroughly enjoyed watching your video what are you jump bare back that was awesome well done for sitting and keep up the good work thank you for the Showing the video thank you😍😍❤❤

xD
Lol
He really does though!
Your position is incredible 😍 Also your dad’s commentary is gold😂

Yeah You don't need nothing to Jump!!
Dad says "ladies and gentlemen, this jump is insane"
Holly says "weeeeeeee!!"
Hilarious 😄
I don’t even have the guts to jump a metre with no stirrups so how you did this is beyond me 😂
Also khals changes are clearer than my vision
I won’t even do it with stirrups 😂🙈
Hhahahah same.
80cm bareback is my tops lmaooo
o hii
lol
I don’t even have the guts to do it with no stirrups and the quietest pony
@@lilyplays9625 I'm lmao at that because I dont have the luxuries of a quieter pony.
Holly* gets really happy when he jumps the jump nicely
Hollys dad “I think I missed it” 😂😂😂😂
Ok Holly we need your dad to vlog while you are in Aus, love his commentary
Your dads humor and accent combined is immaculate
Loll
Holly: u can’t do a riding trot bareback
My trainers: anything is possible if you’ve got enough nerve
Lola Salas it hurts like hell to try and do a rising trot with no stirrups 😪 tru about the trainer bit lmao! 😂
haha mine made me do it too! its not tooo bad if you bend your legs and grip like maddd 😂😂
Kuro Tora eh I did it for a month and now I don’t even have to try :>
I can rise bareback, rode bareback for 4 years lol
Megan cool didn’t ask :>
“He should buck after it” 10:56 omg 😂😂😂 i died

He just FLOATS over the 1.25 and 1.35 🤩 wow
“I should just jump all our horses bareback” VIDEO IDEA PLEASE DO IT!!

Horse trying to threw Holly off while her dad is dying of laughter absolutely made my week😂
You don't need a saddle anymore!!! Yuore position it's just perfect!! Perfect!!
You are an incredible rider and its so touching how loving and good you are to your horse….i don’t ride horses anymore so i watch this episode or whatever all the time to make me feel like I’m riding again.

your leg position is chef’s kiss holly!!! maybe you should do this more often! 😂
I fully expect to see your next show vlog without a saddle 😂😂😂
Is it just me or is there always the chestnut mare in the herd that every other horse is afraid of lol
Mia Price actually that’s the horse I ride Chloe she kicks 😬😬😬😬😬 I don’t think horses are afraid of her but she can be scary 😂 lol
@@sarahthebear2853 LOL, I know right! Sometimes the fiery ones are the best ones though
Mia Price haha for my mares field it’s the dun mare😂😂😂 a few days ago my pony was literally just standing there peeing and then she went up behind her and kicked her😢😂😂😂
Mia Price just u..

I've just discovered your channel through this video and I'm in awe ! Wow !
Great Job. Its something people should do alot more of. Its a great way to feel exactly how evenly you sit on your seatbones and how good your core is.

His initial reaction was interesting. But by the end you were both very comfortable.
50 % here for amazing you and your horses, 50 % here for your badass of a dad and his hilarious commentary ❤️
I know your dad is awesome.. Good riding, I'm a new fan from Florida!
Your dad is the funniest! But also, your FORM is incredible! That leg! What sort of glue are your calves made of. I want some haha.
I’m thinking I’d need a Captain Morgan sponsorship to attempt pulling this off 😂
amazing video Holly! hope things are going well for you in quarantine! Xx
So happy to have you back Holly ! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 look forward to more vids 👍🏻🥰❤️
Thanks to your dad I was watching your feet instead of a jump 😂
The disappointment in your dad's voice every time you went over a jump and DIDN'T get bucked was absolutely hilarious. Hope you're faring well in isolation!
You make everything look so easy. You’re such a beautiful rider holly. And khal looked so happy. Such a pleasure watching you 2. 🥰
Good ride! He's a fine little jumper and your seat is just lovely. I really enjoy watching smaller people on smaller horses. Love the Kerrits too - we can get them in Canada and they fit and wear well!
bury farm bareback challenge 2021?!?! 😍
Isn't she too old for that? I don't know how the UK works but the videos I've seen look like kids.
@@NoThankUBeQuiet no its not just for kids, i think you have to compete in the shows before it to qualify. its just some younger people have more confidence and guts to do it
You two crack me up! What a fun Friday vid! Hope all is well down under. Can’t wait to hear about the quarantine experience!
I’ve never even ridden bareback! Let alone jump bareback.. also you higher bareback than I do normally 😅😅😅
some one I agree. It helps with balance and confidence so much!
He flew over that double!!!😂
your dads commentary is so good!!! XD
Bare back challenge here you come !! 🥰😍
Holly thanks for sharing your wonderful horses, and you father has the best sense of humor. 👍👍❤️🇺🇸🥕🥕

Your dad just cracks me up every time!! 😂😂
The commentary 😂😂 I cant contain myself love your dad ❤️❤️
Super excited to watch this!🙈🤩
Your Dadmakes your videos!!! But that course run was epic, Khal made it so easy!

Your dad is just hilarious 😂 best commentator and his giggling at you 😂

That’s great to hear, because I actually got the ice fil riding tights too and brought them to Australia!!
Holly Lenahan ah I think you’ll love them! That’s awesome to hear!
Hope you’re quarantine time is passing quickly and you’re able to enjoy it! 😄
You say the jodhpurs kept you on, but I think it took just a tiny tiny bit of skill to ride bareback. So well done you are indeed a skilled rider.
Your dad is beyond brilliant 🤣
Kerrits full seat r my favorite riding pants!
Bloody hell your one hell of a good rider!
Love how he does lead changes😂
😱 Wow.. So good balance.. 👏👏
Seriously impressive stuff!! (Has Meg seen it??!!!). Your dad is hilarious too!
Are you sure she is not riding with an invisible saddle? Lol, SHE RIDES TOO GOOD
Amazing Holly, absolutely amazing! well done and your Dad is a legend to - he's soo funny!!
Oh my God! Can I pleeeeeease have a balance like you? I'm terrified of riding without saddle! Only time I did it, my horse kept looking at me like: "hey crazy, u ok?" I'm impressed! Wow!
I loved how you pronounced the word 'genuine'
I can’t wait to be able to do this
This is my favourite of your videos
Gooooood job that was amazing I can barely sit the trot no stirrups on a saddle so this was really cool to see one day I hope I can do this
I honestly think Khal is invaluable. He's so talented and seems like he tries so hard.
Your dad and I were jiggling the entire time!!!
Ive been so excited for this videooo!! Love you Holly 💗💗💗
Great youtuber♡ and your dad is funny! Lovely family
The leg strength...... Jesus
You are brilliant and extremely brave. I am too much of a wimp to do what you do!!! Never stop!
Wow I love your videos.
Mee too
At first I thought your dad’s shirt said super dad instead of super dry, but I was thinking like “wow such a legend!”
I am from the US 🇺🇸. I LOVE KERRITS
your dads laughs made this 1000 times funnier
Wow you're something else you!! 🥰🥰 Enjoy Australia!
Oh my god your dad's commentary KILLS ME :)
Wow that was brilliant!
Your seat is amazing!!! Any tips on jumping bareback please? Thanks!
I love how much your dad wanted him to buck 😂
Well done. There was a moment there when I thought he was going to buck you off. He did so well and so did you. Send a vlog from Aussie.
Holly you are amazing! I can barely jump right in a saddle lol
You're dad's laugh oml i cant right now🤣 im trying not to laugh tho cuz i'm in class rn👁👄👁
