wow! its great to see someone teach western seating instead of english in a western saddle. If true cowboys (the best riders in the world) used the english in a western saddle method that most are teaching these days (sturups to high and legs to far under you, i call it the pretzle method) they would be mamed or dead in no time. Your riders look comfortable and in control of their seat and hands. very cool.
The principles are the same. You can ride English, you can ride western or you can be a rider that rides HORSES. A western rider and an English rider would gain the same knowledge from a truly good trainer.
Glad you mention that. I've been away from w Western horsemanship for too long. I was watching a Calgary Stampede video recently; the barrel racers shoot outside the arena onto a racetrack to slow down. They trot back by posting English style. My whole childhood growing up on a Quarter Horse ranch, I never saw anyone post English style.
I have a terrible time with my balance. I tend to get nervous and get on my toes which then I lean forward in my shoulders...and I'm sure you know how the rest goes. There are a couple reasons why I believe I do this. One is that I was thrown and hurt pretty bad 2 summers ago and while I've gotten some of my confidence back, even stronger in some areas, I still tend to get on my toes when I get nervous and there goes having good posture. I am working on it, but it seems like I'm stuck. The second reason I'm having trouble is that I ride in a synthetic saddle that has the non fabric fenders, they are the same stiff material as the saddle and I can't seem to get the fenders to stay turned and so my ankles, knees and feet hurt... A lot. But it also makes it difficult to keep my heels down. I ordered a pair of SA Walls twisted and slanted stirrups and I'm hoping they'll be here today so I can get them on and start working on all of this! I've waited 25 years to get a horse while I raised my children and I want to have the best possible experiences with her. Not be bouncing on her poor back and me bouncing and bobbing around and having issues. Your video makes sense to me. And I will definitely be practicing your posture advice. Thank you :)
+michelle hooper Try riding with a bareback pad, I had balance problems and learned it was because it was the strirups with a bareback pad I don't bounce and have a better posture and balance.
Every time I ride I do keep my feet in the stirrups but sometimes I lose my stir up and when I ride I always bounce up and down can I get tips on that? Than I feel like I fall off but I never do
Where is your ranch? If we wanted to come take riding lessons from you, where would that be? I love what you teach about the Flight Animal instinct, and your 4C's. Thanks!
Where are the actual lessons? She keeps says, "Let's get started" but it just goes on to the next topic. I didn't see a lesson in catching a horse or walking, etc.
I ride a semi green horse. She is still VERY wonderful but my trainer assigned her to me. I would say its okay if the rider and the horse both are ready with eachother. Am I wrong for riding a green horse and being semi new to riding?
I loped today it was going pretty well until I lost one of my sturups then I lost my balance and almost fell off them I lost my other sturup and couldn't get my horse to stop..does anybody have any tips or tricks for me??
Yes. Keep your heels down. Make sure your stirrups are the right length for you..... not too long. Keep practicing. Eventually your balance will improve and you'll be less dependent on the stirrups.
william guthrie I had this problem when I first learned to ride. Three things really helped me. The first is to realize that the trot is a two beat gait and it is important to get in rhythm with the horse. The other thing that helped was to learn to relax and sit deep in the saddle and keeping proper position with my feet. The last thing you could do is have someone video you while you ride. Good luck and remember to have fun!
No the best riders in the world are native Americans think about it they tamed them & rode them without a bridle reigns or saddle all they used was a deer skin as a saddle pad
The best riders are the European riders who ride for three years, bareback, no reins, no stirrups on a longe line...why they typically kick American ass at the Olympics and world competitions...
Heather Collins sour grapes 🍇 natives Americans are the masters of riding horses with no modern day facilities they rode horses as fast as they could go,
I am confusion.........why arent you holding onto the horn!? Like dont western people just get on the horse and “Yee haw” and hold on to the horn? Sorry if that was offensive but i ride English, so i have no idea lol
Horses aren’t unpredictable.🙄 No Animal is unpredictable. Each animals has its own signs you just need to learn to read them. If you ain’t going to take that time to learn their language then don‘t be around them. Other than that I liked the video.
I can’t believe this video is 11 years old. It’s one of the best learning to ride videos out there.
I love trainers who explain why they said what they did. Give a reason as to why I cant do something, or I'll never remember!
Janel is an awsome understanding caring lady. patient and understanding. she is amazing.
This is awesome! Very instructional, clear, and enjoyable.

I might get a horse soon this rlly helped
For helpful!! Thank you!

@@msheza // so it's been 2 years now. Just checking in and see how everything is working for ya.

Great video but every precaution means an airbag vest and a helmet. A lot cheaper than the icu bill.
Am I missing something? There was no instruction in this video.
Every time I ride I do keep my feet in the stirrups but sometimes I lose my stir up and when I ride I always bounce up and down can I get tips on that? Than I feel like I fall off but I never do

3:11 are good methods
I know this is an old video, but is it the ONLY one???
Cool
she's pretty
Good
Where do I get B to the B 4 lessons. Hmmm
11:00
I know her
I take lessons with janel!!!
is she really sweet?
@@edwardnardone7485 YES! She is also very educated!
@@cicistandeford9371really nice too?
Where are the actual lessons? She keeps says, "Let's get started" but it just goes on to the next topic. I didn't see a lesson in catching a horse or walking, etc.
Yancey Breazeale This is just an 11 min overview. The 2.5hr DVD has all the complete lessons and bonus lessons.

I wouldn't recommend it but if you know what you're doing and you're confident then sure
I learned to ride on a very green horse
This was uploaded on my cats birthday who's now dead D:
That's sad poor cat
im sorry :(
I loped today it was going pretty well until I lost one of my sturups then I lost my balance and almost fell off them I lost my other sturup and couldn't get my horse to stop..does anybody have any tips or tricks for me??
Yes.
Keep your heels down.
Make sure your stirrups are the right length for you..... not too long.
Keep practicing. Eventually your balance will improve and you'll be less dependent on the stirrups.
Learn to ride with your seat. Have your instructor use a lunge line. The seat is everything. From there you can add stirrups and after that, reins
Make sure your heels are down
I was taught to hold my balance by riding bareback so I don't become dependent on the stirrups. I found it very helpful.
How do i keep from bouncing at trot.

Watch the barrel racers coming back at Calgary; they all trot back by posting English style.

The best riders are riders who take the time to really know and understand
I'm confused. She says there's going to be a lesson about something, then the video just moves on to some other topic. Where are the lessons?
This is just a overview... the DVD is complete lessons. 2.5 hrs long.
3:13
DVD has no value if you want to learn to ride. You just get to watch other people taking lessons.
Awnser for William stand in the stirrups that will make for a better ride & less bounceing
I am confusion.........why arent you holding onto the horn!? Like dont western people just get on the horse and “Yee haw” and hold on to the horn? Sorry if that was offensive but i ride English, so i have no idea lol
Usually it's just for holding ropes
We don’t depend on the horse. We can ride just as well without the horn
@@loodytheleprican3079 no there are certain like ties you put on your saddle for your rope the saddle horse is used for many things
Horses are very predictable.
Wear a helmet
Horses aren’t unpredictable.🙄 No Animal is unpredictable. Each animals has its own signs you just need to learn to read them. If you ain’t going to take that time to learn their language then don‘t be around them.
Other than that I liked the video.
One word: arabians! Try riding a horse that's doing just fine until suddenly he decides his own shadow is out to kill him....
@@annwltr dude that’s any horse. No offense
