The gait is something that these horses do naturally. Look up baby Tennesse walkers, Icelandics, paso finos, spotted saddle horses. They all just do that. I ride a spotted saddle horse sometimes, and I dont really know anything about riding/ training gaited horses and she just does her thing.
@@rebeccadees2300 Look up tennessee walkers, there is a natural gait they have, this is not it though. 99% of this is pacing, which is bad for them. I own a walker myself that paces and I am trying to teach him to gait correctly.
@@rebeccadees2300 my Saddle bred mare was bred to a Tn Walker and the foal used this gait for several steps as we were putting her in her stall...it's a natural run/ gait and the others are racking...it's a single foot gait..many are standard breeds that couldn't make it at the track so they are used under saddle
a lot of em too fat for their horses and they all bouncing like crazy. nobody knows how to ride, use stirrups or their own legs. nobody thinking about the horses.
Okay, so it would be safer to wear helmets. And, most of the people are good riders, but others just have a hard hand. And when you see the horse's tail up in an odd curved way, sometimes that means the horse's back is in pain.
with such a community as that it would make so much sense if they formed their own sort of "pony club" activity for the youth to teach safety, general knowledge and riding skills. For some it would wind up becoming a career.
@@kaylabrown4699 your quite blind then the bits that are used some of them are quite harsh and most of the riders are yanking their mouths and the horses don’t seem comfortable at all
Too many of you are yanking the horses mouths tooooooooo far back!! I would never let you ride my horses like that!! If you need to hold on so bad..use the horn.. not the reins, yanking mercilessly on the horses MOUTHS!...unecessarily hurting the horses' mouths. I can't abide it.
It is extremely clear that you don't ride or own horses , if you think all horses can be ridden on a loose rein ... All that "yanking on a horses mouth" talk usually always comes from a junior high school girl ... These are horses not humans and they were purchased to be ridden and enjoyed... They are well cared for but not pampered and if these videos aren't to your liking , stop forcing them on yourself
Wow I can honestly say I have never seen such a blatant disregard for a horses back and kidneys and the safety of the rider. Does know one know how to post when a horse is trotting or not to lean so far back in the saddle that your pounding on the horses kidneys. I'm not trying to be a Karen, I've tought people how to ride horses and to keep your furry friend happy and healthy for years to come and just watching this video makes me want to cry for these poor animals. They all are going to need Chiropractic work after this.
Most of the horses are not trotting (diagonal legs moving together); therefore, you can't post. Most of the horses are a gated breed (TN walker, Missouri Foxtrotter, etc) so the right legs (front & back) kick forward while the left legs are back. Its actually quite smooth. There aren't very many walkers where I live, so I've only riden one, but it was amazing.
@@christinaheater2500 yes but despite this you still need proper positioning because no matter how smooth a gait is, how your sitting will affect where and how much pressure is paced on the horses back. Not to mention some of these riders have very harsh hands. I just think some of them should get their tack refitted, and go seek instruction from a professional instructor as this is really damaging for the horse.
@@christinaheater2500 it’s a couple seconds of a video, but I’m sure that trail ride lasted hours with the same type of riding. I am in no way judging the person themselves but most would benefit from more knowledge and instruction from a professional
@@karladougherty5694 I'm sorry to say this style of riding is everywhere in the US south. People sit like on gaited horses as if they're on a recliner, and have no regard for the horses mouth
Because they not educated and the owner of these horses isn’t either due to most of them having extremely harsh bits, unfitted tack, and some if you look closely look lame to me
Your not suppose to bounce around in a walker. They’re suppose to be smooth ride, but that’s all you can do with then. Now when you have a non walker you can run, jump and dressage. Now that my boy does. He’s an all around horse.
Oh yes let’s not spank our children, And take God out of the schools See what that has gotten us now days., I think you got it backwards.,You need your children to mind and God in public school. The horses weren’t in pain .
Nikola Fingas looks like they done as much highway riding as me used to raise walking horses. Husband raised the best breed one here in Lufkin years ago.
Many riders were too big for the horses they were riding. Most riders looked pretty useless . Not a good experience for the animals at all... and all the loud vehicles aswell.. what’s relaxing and natural about that?
Lol..you got a bunch of people that really dont know how to ride a horse, but you have them all riding fox trotters or Tennessee Walker to make it seem as if they can..lol give me a break... this is to funny .. watch if you were to put them on any other breed of horse that isn't gated they'd fall right off..hahha. 🤣
For the first time to see these many black people outside the city enjoying nature and horses. I hope other black people introduce their kids to these kinds of activities.
Ya'll are so abusive and harmful to the horses. I cant belive how many people liked this nobody should have even considered liking the video. I hate ya'll
My friend went in one of those trot alongs and her horse dropped dead from a heart attack. Be careful and take care of those horses they cant tell you when its too much for them.
Horse racing I don’t support but this is just as bad and probably worse In horse racing they at least have proper fitted tack, healthy horses, and no harsh bits and goood riders who don’t yank their heads off
Read a story about a Doc who lived back around the turn of the last century. He had a big black wakin' horse. He went over the mountain to Franklin, NC and delivered a baby... 36 mileseach way. A blizzard was blowing in, but he headed home anyway. The big black racked up the mountain and down again in a blowing blizzard... 36 miles. His sons poured water on his legs and boots. He was frozen in the saddle. The big black was fine...
What did they put on the horses hooves? No one is breaking a trot. I assume what ever is on the hooves prevents this. Absurd! The horse can't canter or gallop. Very strange.
Nice to see so many walking horses. Some good riders here and some kinda rough ones. Hard to have soft hands when your seat it so loose. It's great to see everyone out having fun but remember that a horse isn't simply a tool. You are partners.
@@jayd4476 We'll, I'm coming from 4 decades of breeding, raising, training and riding horses. There is a difference between good fast...and bad fast. If your ass is slamming down on the horse's spine and your hands are jerking their mouth that's always bad.
@INCOGNITO criticism does not equal racism - I haven't seen a single comment criticizing the riders, which even mentions their race, it's got nothing to do with race, & everything to do with proper riding & animal welfare
@INCOGNITO it’s a shame that I’m wrong for being educated who rider horses, works with professional horse trainers under the pony club, and does a animal course that’s heavily based on welfare and abuse
They are trotting that is the worst way to ride a horse. Maybe one day someone will teach them how to canter or run which is the only way you can ride a horse without crushing the family Jules
Ok um trotting doesn’t hurt the horse whatsoever if you ride it correctly, although only a few people in the video rode it well. But keep in mind these are gaited horses so their gates are different from an average horse. Instead of a canter or gallop it’s like a cross between canter a trot, that would be their run. So while I don’t agree with many riders in this video, you also don’t seem that knowledgeable to be talking about it. If you never trot a horse their top line will be very undeveloped. You just need to know how to ride.
Apparently if you comment on the fact that the majority of these horses were stargazing and traveling hollow backed, with their jaws set hard or their mouths open trying to evade their bits, you are a racist. Probably if you point out the obvious problems with some riders also being far too heavy for their horses, you are not only a racist, you are prejudiced against fat people as well. I'm not going to place all the blame on the riders, many of these riders seemed to be trying to interfere as little as possible with their mounts. Unfortunately, like many gaited horses, these horses have been taught to travel hollow and strung out, and in all likelihood, primarily in straight lines. Gaited horses actually travel far better if taught to soften vertically and laterally, and get their hind ends under themselves and their backs rounding. Additionally, getting broke in the body by learning to bend, will also strengthen the gait. Then they are able to gait unfettered on the trail, no bits needed at all ultimately, and their muscles develop properly, so the incidence of lameness and soreness is reduced. One only needs of to look at the lack of correct muscle development in these poor creatures to guess that their careers will not be too long. The weak top lines, weak hindquarters, and the over developed undersides of their necks predict a life of pain for them. Pain that is often mistaken for behavioral problems. And people of all races are ofyen ignorant with horses. I see plenty of gaited horses trained incorrectly by plenty of white people. Not too long ago I heard one tell her farrier that gaited horses had to wear a special gaited horse bit to gait 🙄 And as usual, it is the horse that suffers.
@UCr0vXWUnZx26Jg1THDwyOFQ Racist? Shut the up. When heavy people tide horses it DAMAGES THEIR BACKS. You must have never been around a horses before. And that's not how you even bend a horse, that's how you damage their back which is straight up neglectful and abusive.
@@GALLEN-vf7uy How about you treat these horses with more respect and act like a grown man when commenting. Acting like a child is not going to get you far in life.

I would never say anything as racist as "you people" (these people), but, I will say that "YOU" don't know a single thing about what you are speaking on !
This is sad, a lot of unfitted tack, lame and underfed horses. Ones that are to big for some horses. And then you got the vast majority who don’t even know how to ride.
I'd rather ride a horse that's not afraid of 4 wheelers, trucks and traffic than try to calm down a horse that's afraid. Get them used to it and they're not going to spook. I'd like to know how many of the ungaited horses work cattle alongside people on 4 wheelers.
90% of them don't know how to ride a horse. You have too much weight on the horses back that's why they're just walking fast. None of them are running a full Sprint
Yes some of those horses are being written by people that are too large but that is not the reason they're walking fast, those horses are bred to walk that way they are called Walking Horses. I do agree that some of the people are too large and most of them do not know how to ride. But it looks like they had a blast, good for them. The horses could have used a break I do not believe it was a timed event.
Why.... Why are they mixing motor vehicles with horse trails..? Could be dangerous. And the one guys legs were flopping up and down... Smh please get some training or some knowledge before you jump on a horse.. Some did look like they knew what they were doing... That was before I head some one ra into a ditch!

@@rebeccadees2300 Look up tennessee walkers, there is a natural gait they have, this is not it though. 99% of this is pacing, which is bad for them. I own a walker myself that paces and I am trying to teach him to gait correctly.
@@rebeccadees2300 my Saddle bred mare was bred to a Tn Walker and the foal used this gait for several steps as we were putting her in her stall...it's a natural run/ gait and the others are racking...it's a single foot gait..many are standard breeds that couldn't make it at the track so they are used under saddle
Painful to watch , lame horses , terrible riding
Bro someone needs to give those people riding lessons . Stop yanking on their mouths 🙄 gosh who taught them how to ride Bc I wasn’t taught like that
No one here is your "Bro"
tru dat
Bro like just shut up
Some of them looked too heavy for the horse. 😢
a lot of em too fat for their horses and they all bouncing like crazy. nobody knows how to ride, use stirrups or their own legs. nobody thinking about the horses.
Escpially the person ripping there horses face off looking back and those tie-downs ugh
And snatching at the horse too.🥴 That part was hard to watch but i think they can get better. Im Black so dont come for me
Disgusting to watch this.
Ik dude I feel bad for teh horses!
Absolutely nobody knows what their doing . smh . y'all might wanna take a few classes on how to ride a horse .
Okay, so it would be safer to wear helmets. And, most of the people are good riders, but others just have a hard hand. And when you see the horse's tail up in an odd curved way, sometimes that means the horse's back is in pain.
Looks like fun. But sure looks like a lot of bit action. A little harsh on the horses mouth.
with such a community as that it would make so much sense if they formed their own sort of "pony club" activity for the youth to teach safety, general knowledge and riding skills. For some it would wind up becoming a career.
A LOT harsh on horses mouth.😡but yes I agree for sure.
I don’t see not 1 horse fighting the bit
@@ElizabethDMadison qqqrqqqqqqeeqqqqq
@@kaylabrown4699 your quite blind then the bits that are used some of them are quite harsh and most of the riders are yanking their mouths and the horses don’t seem comfortable at all
Too many of you are yanking the horses mouths tooooooooo far back!! I would never let you ride my horses like that!! If you need to hold on so bad..use the horn.. not the reins, yanking mercilessly on the horses MOUTHS!...unecessarily hurting the horses' mouths. I can't abide it.
It is extremely clear that you don't ride or own horses , if you think all horses can be ridden on a loose rein ... All that "yanking on a horses mouth" talk usually always comes from a junior high school girl ... These are horses not humans and they were purchased to be ridden and enjoyed... They are well cared for but not pampered and if these videos aren't to your liking , stop forcing them on yourself
Only a hand ful in that group know what their Doing Morgan,I rode for 20 years ,Several horses r limping
Wow I can honestly say I have never seen such a blatant disregard for a horses back and kidneys and the safety of the rider. Does know one know how to post when a horse is trotting or not to lean so far back in the saddle that your pounding on the horses kidneys. I'm not trying to be a Karen, I've tought people how to ride horses and to keep your furry friend happy and healthy for years to come and just watching this video makes me want to cry for these poor animals. They all are going to need Chiropractic work after this.
Most of the horses are not trotting (diagonal legs moving together); therefore, you can't post. Most of the horses are a gated breed (TN walker, Missouri Foxtrotter, etc) so the right legs (front & back) kick forward while the left legs are back. Its actually quite smooth. There aren't very many walkers where I live, so I've only riden one, but it was amazing.
@@christinaheater2500 yes but despite this you still need proper positioning because no matter how smooth a gait is, how your sitting will affect where and how much pressure is paced on the horses back. Not to mention some of these riders have very harsh hands. I just think some of them should get their tack refitted, and go seek instruction from a professional instructor as this is really damaging for the horse.
@@karladougherty5694 true, but I don't think its fair to judge some based on a couple seconds worth of video.
@@christinaheater2500 it’s a couple seconds of a video, but I’m sure that trail ride lasted hours with the same type of riding. I am in no way judging the person themselves but most would benefit from more knowledge and instruction from a professional
@@karladougherty5694 I'm sorry to say this style of riding is everywhere in the US south. People sit like on gaited horses as if they're on a recliner, and have no regard for the horses mouth
Why do most of them look inexperienced and pulling to dang hard on the rains.
You sound jealous and envious .. My my my.....
Because they not educated and the owner of these horses isn’t either due to most of them having extremely harsh bits, unfitted tack, and some if you look closely look lame to me
I’ve never seen so many people WHO CANT RIDE in one place!
Yet somehow they kept in formation and didn't bounce around too much... this wasn't a dressage performance you know
Your not suppose to bounce around in a walker. They’re suppose to be smooth ride, but that’s all you can do with then. Now when you have a non walker you can run, jump and dressage. Now that my boy does. He’s an all around horse.
@@thoughtsendprayers9712 ;
How is this your first thought when seeing this video? Big hater energy smh seek help
What is this….. pure animal abuse take some riding lessons first and a horse care class!
Not one of those horses looked happy.
Wow... I do not believe I saw one horse that didn’t look like they were in a great deal of pain... so sad 😞
i totally agree very sad
Oh yes let’s not spank our children, And take God out of the schools See what that has gotten us now days., I think you got it backwards.,You need your children to mind and God in public school. The horses weren’t in pain .
@@paulatudor691 clearly they were, most are lame and spooking at the trucks
Nikola Fingas looks like they done as much highway riding as me used to raise walking horses. Husband raised the best breed one here in Lufkin years ago.
And yet you watch, you are sick.
Some of those horses were really lame and shouldn't have been out there
Saddle up and get beside him then... Dville got that werk
@@bowalker7114 what?
Many riders were too big for the horses they were riding. Most riders looked pretty useless .
Not a good experience for the animals at all... and all the loud vehicles aswell.. what’s relaxing and natural about that?
They dont care.....trust me
Some of these horses are tender footed or a bit lame
Take better care of these horses !
Noticed that also
Terrible riding sitting back on horses kidneys on trout. And right reining keeping the horses head up the horses are not relaxed at all.
Lol..you got a bunch of people that really dont know how to ride a horse, but you have them all riding fox trotters or Tennessee Walker to make it seem as if they can..lol give me a break... this is to funny .. watch if you were to put them on any other breed of horse that isn't gated they'd fall right off..hahha. 🤣
Poor horses in amongst a bunch of 4 wheelers.
Why are they all leaning back on the horse like that
It’s called, “putting your feet on the dash”. It’s a comfortable way to ride a gaited horse & can help the horse to be smoother & faster.
For the first time to see these many black people outside the city enjoying nature and horses. I hope other black people introduce their kids to these kinds of activities.
Glad you enjoyed the video.... It's really not a color thing, black or white , it's just about good people getting together and riding their horses
Ya'll are so abusive and harmful to the horses. I cant belive how many people liked this nobody should have even considered liking the video. I hate ya'll
My friend went in one of those trot alongs and her horse dropped dead from a heart attack. Be careful and take care of those horses they cant tell you when its too much for them.
You should be talking to your friend ( She needs it)
@@theycallmedonkey6664 Delete.. Make an instructional video of your own
M amazed so many people think its ok to ride so hard and fast on the road! Some carring too much weight. Poor horse.
Y’all calling this torture but not horse races ok 😩
They literally run to these videos just to make bad comments.they are So obsessed.
Horse racing I don’t support but this is just as bad and probably worse
In horse racing they at least have proper fitted tack, healthy horses, and no harsh bits and goood riders who don’t yank their heads off
Read a story about a Doc who lived back around the turn of the last century. He had a big black wakin' horse. He went over the mountain to Franklin, NC and delivered a baby... 36 mileseach way. A blizzard was blowing in, but he headed home anyway. The big black racked up the mountain and down again in a blowing blizzard... 36 miles. His sons poured water on his legs and boots. He was frozen in the saddle. The big black was fine...
LOL That's Crazy !!!! LOL
What did they put on the horses hooves? No one is breaking a trot. I assume what ever is on the hooves prevents this. Absurd! The horse can't canter or gallop. Very strange.
This is litt never seen so many of us black ride horses this fire 🔥
Beautiful people!! God bless
There are tons in the south.
We been doing this. Seek your history/geanology.
@Harry Palms Whatever that means dude. You caught my drift
Talk right
1.23 that horse is having a rough day
WTH.
Nice to see so many walking horses. Some good riders here and some kinda rough ones. Hard to have soft hands when your seat it so loose. It's great to see everyone out having fun but remember that a horse isn't simply a tool. You are partners.
👍👍
So Fast is rough? Wtf where are u ppl coming from? Garden of eden?
@@jayd4476 We'll, I'm coming from 4 decades of breeding, raising, training and riding horses. There is a difference between good fast...and bad fast. If your ass is slamming down on the horse's spine and your hands are jerking their mouth that's always bad.
Agreed . Treat em right they'll be your most loyal companion
And mixing all those unsecure riders with roaring quads, cars and screams from stupid poeple, poor horses!!
@INCOGNITO criticism does not equal racism - I haven't seen a single comment criticizing the riders, which even mentions their race, it's got nothing to do with race, & everything to do with proper riding & animal welfare
I see a lot of I’ll fitted tack and poor riding and horsemanship. What a shame.
Keep watching
Trying to make a horse run while leaning back and pulling on the reins.
@INCOGNITO not really your a shame for not knowing what correct riding is and this is abuse and not riding
@INCOGNITO it’s a shame that I’m wrong for being educated who rider horses, works with professional horse trainers under the pony club, and does a animal course that’s heavily based on welfare and abuse
@INCOGNITO you probably don’t even know what lead changes is, collection, rein, diagonals, half halts, contact, on the bit and they are the basics
I love the sound of horses racking
They are trotting that is the worst way to ride a horse. Maybe one day someone will teach them how to canter or run which is the only way you can ride a horse without crushing the family Jules
Ok um trotting doesn’t hurt the horse whatsoever if you ride it correctly, although only a few people in the video rode it well. But keep in mind these are gaited horses so their gates are different from an average horse. Instead of a canter or gallop it’s like a cross between canter a trot, that would be their run. So while I don’t agree with many riders in this video, you also don’t seem that knowledgeable to be talking about it. If you never trot a horse their top line will be very undeveloped. You just need to know how to ride.
I feel so bad for these animals. Who taught these people how to ride? They should be fired.
I have never seen horses look so uncomfortable while running like they are here
Apparently if you comment on the fact that the majority of these horses were stargazing and traveling hollow backed, with their jaws set hard or their mouths open trying to evade their bits, you are a racist. Probably if you point out the obvious problems with some riders also being far too heavy for their horses, you are not only a racist, you are prejudiced against fat people as well.
I'm not going to place all the blame on the riders, many of these riders seemed to be trying to interfere as little as possible with their mounts. Unfortunately, like many gaited horses, these horses have been taught to travel hollow and strung out, and in all likelihood, primarily in straight lines. Gaited horses actually travel far better if taught to soften vertically and laterally, and get their hind ends under themselves and their backs rounding. Additionally, getting broke in the body by learning to bend, will also strengthen the gait. Then they are able to gait unfettered on the trail, no bits needed at all ultimately, and their muscles develop properly, so the incidence of lameness and soreness is reduced.
One only needs of to look at the lack of correct muscle development in these poor creatures to guess that their careers will not be too long. The weak top lines, weak hindquarters, and the over developed undersides of their necks predict a life of pain for them. Pain that is often mistaken for behavioral problems.
And people of all races are ofyen ignorant with horses. I see plenty of gaited horses trained incorrectly by plenty of white people. Not too long ago I heard one tell her farrier that gaited horses had to wear a special gaited horse bit to gait 🙄 And as usual, it is the horse that suffers.
@UCr0vXWUnZx26Jg1THDwyOFQ Racist? Shut the up. When heavy people tide horses it DAMAGES THEIR BACKS. You must have never been around a horses before. And that's not how you even bend a horse, that's how you damage their back which is straight up neglectful and abusive.
Say your racist without saying your racist
@@chosen3258 you just did. Thanks for outing yourself.
Err body need a horse instead of a car
Skinny and overworked horses, heavy riders. How hard is it to stay out of a horse's mouth??? Do better people
How about YOU trying to be a better "person" ?
@@GALLEN-vf7uy How about you treat these horses with more respect and act like a grown man when commenting. Acting like a child is not going to get you far in life.
Not a single white person in this racist video. As a white person, I'm offended by the lack of adequate representation.
Now "THAT" is funny !!!
That's a lot of gaited horses. My favorite is at 3:00 minutes! He's smoking it. Trail riding is very popular down here in SW Louisiana, too. Usually lots of good food, music, and dancing. Country people having good fun.
Sounds like fun
super vid, thanks for filming!
Lmao it’s crazy you come under a video of black cowboys and girls and see so much hate…. Where is this on the other videos of “ bad riders “… so many reason to be proud, black, n country

You say Ignorance is bliss ....Then you must be one happy woman .... Never can quite understand grown-ups trolling around name calling and criticizing people that they would never name call face to face..
Those horses were being trotted, not rode hard. Those Tennessee walking horses were bread to be saddle horses. Those riders weren't hurting them.
@@GALLEN-vf7uy I wonder if they eat beef or chicken . Ya they know nothing about animals or livestock. Ya it's almost like alot people from city don't like country people in general.

They looked like they were having so much fun
Thanks for watching
This is sad. These ppl can’t ride for shit. Not to mention the awful saddle fits
I would never say anything as racist as "you people" (these people), but, I will say that "YOU" don't know a single thing about what you are speaking on !
Super! Looks like fun. Love those gaited horses. What breed is that?
Which one? LOL ...Tennessee Walkers , Fox Trotters , American Saddlebreds and Standardbred Retired Race Horses (mostly) ...thanks for watching,
This is sad, a lot of unfitted tack, lame and underfed horses. Ones that are to big for some horses. And then you got the vast majority who don’t even know how to ride.
I was so worried about some of those riders and their horse when all those 4 wheelers and loud trucks where all over the place
These horses are well trained and are not bothered by 4 wheelers and traffic...
I'd rather ride a horse that's not afraid of 4 wheelers, trucks and traffic than try to calm down a horse that's afraid. Get them used to it and they're not going to spook. I'd like to know how many of the ungaited horses work cattle alongside people on 4 wheelers.
@@GALLEN-vf7uy palomino at 3:04 looked pretty upset
90% of them don't know how to ride a horse. You have too much weight on the horses back that's why they're just walking fast. None of them are running a full Sprint
O..K...
Yes some of those horses are being written by people that are too large but that is not the reason they're walking fast, those horses are bred to walk that way they are called Walking Horses. I do agree that some of the people are too large and most of them do not know how to ride. But it looks like they had a blast, good for them. The horses could have used a break I do not believe it was a timed event.
@@maureentomaski2834 I didn't know they had walking horse
Why.... Why are they mixing motor vehicles with horse trails..? Could be dangerous. And the one guys legs were flopping up and down... Smh please get some training or some knowledge before you jump on a horse.. Some did look like they knew what they were doing... That was before I head some one ra into a ditch! Hope the person or persons were OK afterwards... Smh
