One Magic with extra chillis please! 🌶 Spicy pony happens between 03:09 and 06:34 - I know the description under the video is ridiculously long, but please do give it a read as it explains fully the Whats/Whys/Hows of this unusual ride!! Magic now has a brand new saddle, as it’s clear he wasn’t happy in this one, and he’s now back to him normal happy self. After riding him in his new saddle today, it was honestly just like being back on board the confident, happy, relaxed horse we all remember from the summer! 😊 x
I love your vids eek first anyway it’s amazing, I go horse riding I only know how to trot! I hope I learn how to canter soon, your lucky you get to ride it with no instructions sometimes and like you can canter gallop trot walk all things! I’m still learning tho!
Totally understand the issue with the saddle, been in the same boat while back when it happened to me. At least, it's sorted now and he is comfortable.
QOTD: His name is Fred, and although he is a lovely jumper, and is very speedy... He can get a little too over-excited, and bolts a LOT! Also, Magic channelled his inner kangaroo very well 😉😏
well done for staying on! I had a saddle slip incident and ended up with it rolling to the side so much I came off. Fortunately it was whilst the horse was stood still so it wasn't too bad. Girth was a bit dodgy so that ended up being thrown away and replaced.
I too had a saddle slip incident but because of how 'fast' (cantering but he spooked and someone took off) my horse was going I ended up falling off and fracturing a vertebrae
Equestrian Jess In this instance I knew there was something wrong (saddle) that was making the horse act this way, so it didn’t knock my confidence as I knew there was a fixable reason behind it and that he probably wouldn’t do it again. When something unexpected happens on a horse or where the ‘scary thing’ might happen over and over again, like bucking, bolting, rearing etc, I always think it’s best to take things back to basics and build back up slowly, so both you and the horse have time to clear your heads and forget about the bad thing that happened. It also means you can pinpoint exactly what it is that sends the horse over the edge and makes it act up (assuming it is not in any physical pain). The worst thing you can do when you’ve had a serious confidence knock is to push yourself really hard, because you’re bound to end up scaring yourself even more, which then translates across to the horses behaviour and it all spirals out of control from there. If possible, and if you think it would help, it sometimes helps to try riding a different, ‘known to be safe’ horse for a while - a safe, sensible horse can do absolute wonders to get your confidence built up before jumping back on to more challenging horses. It’s also really helpful to work with a trainer/instructor who understands what you’re feelings are so that they can encourage and gently (but safely) push you from the ground, without making you do anything you’re not comfortable with. A lot of experienced trainers will know exactly how far to push a client in order to make them feel confident and happy in their riding and can help you with any problems or fears that arise along the way. x
@@schleichhorsecrazy6378 ha ha thank you. Its been a while since I posted this comment and since then ive become so much more confident but thank you anyway! 💙
Wow you did so good sitting those bucks! Right now I’m on a 2 week break for Christmas holidays so I can’t ride sadly, but your videos brighten me up! 💕💕🐴 and it feels like I’m riding from GoPro view.
Cheeky Magic, well done 👏🐴 QOTD: Yes the TB X I ride called Bugsey is always bolting and bucking becuase he just gets way too excited about life, love riding him tho ❤️
You may never see this, since I'm posting two weeks after this video was shared...I love your videos, but this one is especially wonderful, because you and your trainer handled all of that so well! It's frightening when stuff like this happens, but you handled it so calmly and had empathy for Magic. Impressive stuff.
My horse Jacob gets excited doing all most anything 😂 he gets excited doing grids, going hacking , going to the field , doing cross country , being with other horses in a lesson so he's very excitable 😂
Wow great job! You should have seen what happened to my sister she was riding ottb he spooked at a jump mini bucked 2 times and took off at a gallop 😂 she got him back to controlled canter then a walk.💕💕🐴🐴
QOTD: yes. She was so happy to work again I couldn't even get on her. She reared up and when she got down she just gave me a look "why aren't you on my back yet. LETS GO HUMAN". It was also during a jumping lesson so she jumped the fences higher and activated her kicker and would buck after the jumps. And she would get mad at herself if she touched the poles which resulted in an angry mare stare and buck😂😂 it was a fun lesson
You really have an excellent teacher who knows how to keep you confident and in control again and how to get your pony back on track. Congrats for staying on while he was bucking/bolting.
I fractured my elbow because my saddle slipped and we were only trotting! Those things can be dangerous lmao glad you stayed on though, super seat you have
Well done for sitting through the broncing and bolting, you were so calm even when he was getting quite spicy! QOTD: There's a lovely warmblood at the stables where I ride on a Tuesday, his name is Charlie! When we jump, however, he suddenly turns into a stag - a cross pole turns into a jump over the moon 😂 He also loves a good bolt around the school when he decides the lesson is going too quietly for his liking! I haven't ridden him too often, but generally other than the infrequent bolting, he is quite a good boy :) (He has had his saddle and back checked in case that's what made him bolt, but all seems to be well, he just enjoys life in the fast lane!)
Oh dear! Poor boy, you handled it very well though! Glad to hear his saddle is all fixed now. QOTD: Yes, lots of times! I think all horses are bound to get a bit overexcited about life! 😅 Luckily, I haven't had anything too bad, just the odd cheeky pony ❤
Great video. QOTD: I've been on a horse that bronked cause she was fresh kept spooking at something in a corner and it was always the same corner. We were outside as well. Another few times I've rode a 13.2hh pony and she bucks everytime I asked for the canter. Never fallen off when that happened. Only once another pony but 14hh bucked cause she was happy and enjoying a jumping lesson.
Sara Ekstrand not as easy as it sounds, sitting on a bucking horse aint easy, even with the right muscles and balance. It’s a compliment, you don’t need to explain it
@@spicycrisps3995 mine used to turn her backside to me and if I came near pin her ears flat and paw. At that point I would just heard her into the stall to catch her😂 But then other days she was fine. Lol. I never quite understood. Her.
Evelyn Kendle 😂! Yeah i can see where you’re coming from, somedays she’s nice to catch, i just come in to the fields and she comes over to me, other times she’s like NOPE!! and just runs off.
QOTD: oh yeah a horse I used to ride called Horrace was very feisty, we did some jumping and tried to buck me off many times and kicked the fence in 😂 And again in another lesson! He also gets very annoyed if u don't let him go, like one time I was in a group lesson and he really wanted to go fast so he bucked rly high and bolted straight to the back of the ride 😂
QOTD: Well boy do I have a story for you. About two weeks ago I was riding a horse named Ike. He decided while my trainer was fixing my stirrups (they literally fell off of the leathers) he was trotting in tiny circles around her and he wouldn't stop despite me pulling and leaning back, so my trainer got frustrated with me when I literally couldn't do anything (Ike was getting antsy). After that I couldn't get him to slow down so he was basically always about to transition into the trot, but when we actually tried to trot he just wouldn't go. Lots of excitement and then he turned stubborn. I'm probably going to ride him again and I'm very nervous lol.
QOTD: oh yes 😂🤪 My favourite lesson horse, Magic, loves hacking out way too much, and our trot always turns into a gallop; I do try and stop him, but he just loves it so so so much 🙈
I was riding my pony a month or so ago (black one in my profile picture) who is only 4. His girth wasn’t tight enough whilst we were cantering and it slipped and he bolted around the arena. I stayed on for a while but when it turned fully to under his stomach I fell with it, resulting in me almost falling over the fence as we were on the long side or getting trampled when I fell underneath him (he was careful with his legs so he didn’t trample me bless him) but he continued around the arena with the saddle under his belly and it was the most terrifying thing that’s ever happened to me. Now my first instinct is to check my girth. Be careful riding everyone! Ps. You sat him so well Claire, well done! 💞
QOTD: Smartie tends to get a bit spicy in the winter and I’m riding him for gymkhana games tomorrow so there’s a pretty good chance I’ll get bucked off! 😂 💕💕💕
Well sat and well done for continuing with the lesson on him. From the video he appears quite fresh and then him bolting pushing the saddle back definitely didn't help. He is an owned horse rather than a school horse and they can be a bit more firey. Luckily you stayed on but it will be a lesson you won't forget. Over the years I have had several horses and ponies rodeo with me, never nice. Glad the tack has been replaced.
QOTD: I rode this pony yesterday and her name is Maisy. She gets quite strong and quick when jumping and refuses a lot. She’s still learning and quite young so hopefully she’ll break her speedy habits!
I had a day like this last week. I have been back in the saddle for a few months now. We are working on my confidence in general and in canter. Well pony had other ideas, first of all didn't want to go out of the stable couldn't get him to move, warmed up nicely then when we moved onto the transition section sand went into canter he threw a massive buck, scared me half to death. Turns out it was because when I went into canter I tensed (a thing I do a lot hence the confidence building) and told him to slow down he basically told me to make up my mind he did it another time for good measure. Slightly nervous for tomorrow. Sorry for the long comment and love the videos!! ❤️
In my riding school there is a gelding named Kalle. He has been in the riding school the longest but he is probably the hardest to ride. He is EXTREMELY stubborn and never does what he is told right away. You have to prove that you are the alpha to him first. Once, there was a banana lying on the fence by the arena during a lesson, he had his eyes on it the entire lesson and suddenly, he decided that he should eat it and so he did. No other horse thought about it.
@@hanniras I know I just want to know where you got this "leader" idea from in the first place. I've had horses and dogs alike, all well and fully trained and I've never had to be a "leader" towards them. People who don't believe that you and an animal can have a functioning team dynamic kind of upset me, the animal should want to be good, not be forced.
@@youreinvalid8493 I understand where you are coming from, it is important to work with the horse but (this is just a guess!) I think what he/she meant was that the rider is meant to be telling the horse what to do, not the other way round. I think he/she worded it differently and that's what made it sound a bit odd.. Again this is just a guess
Claudia & Giulia No I’ve actually never competed in my life!! (Not sure a riding school competition, jumping a 5x 1ft cross pole ‘course’ [just round the edge of a field], in walk/trot, where I came 5th out of 6, when I was about 13, and won a ‘well done for taking part’ rosette, really counts) 😂❤️
QOTD: I rode a pony yesterday called mickey who is known at the yard for being a lil bit of a spaz monster - it was only my second time riding him and the first trot was really nice and he looked gorgeous but in the second trot he decided to zoom and we cantered around the arena 🙈then we were trotting a pole course (that the older people were gonna jump) and he was a complete mess 🙈 one of the older girls had to try and lead him round the course while I sat there and tried to stay on 🙈 I couldn't tell what he was doing but I think there were some bucks in there 😅🙈 eventually we 'trotted' down the long side to the back of the ride 🙈 it was a fun lesson overall and he is now my favourite to ride xx
I had the exact same things with a horse I rode for a lady, he was called jack- he was trying a new saddle and especially on one rein he would just bronc in transitions
You sat that really well! It's funny, from the angle of the GoPro, the bolting and bucking seemed much more severe. But the video from someone on the ground made it look a bit tamer. Just goes to show that things feel worse (or bigger) when you're sitting in the saddle!
Hey sweetie , absolutely love your bids and I’ve noticed my horse has been , let’s say , rather energetic recently ahah , also just wondering , what is the size of that arena , it looks lush!!
Hey,any equestrians watching this,is it normal to have this constant fear before riding? I’ve fallen before one time and it wasn’t that bad (just really strong headaches) but I just fear falling again,I had stopped for a year because my parents couldn’t bare to see me cry every time I had to go ride.So I stopped,ive started riding again in September because it was something I missed so bad...But yeah,the fear still isn’t gone,if you have any tips,please help💕😕
Adele Wolfton I used to feel like this too! It was only until I rode a little Welsh x Shetland on a weekly basis that I didn’t anymore! It think it’s a case of letting your instructor know how your feeling, and not pushing yourself too far until your ready! Riding a horse/pony that you trust and that’s going to keep you safe does the trick! Good luck xx
The clicking? I do it with my mouth when the horse isn't quite listening to me leg enough (needing a bit more impulsion or speed), but a kick or tap with the stick would be too much. It basically just means 'please take it up a notch' to the horse, without the rider having to use any force. Some horses respond to clicking quite well, some completely ignore it.
My horse gets REALLY excited when he sees a jump even though he does dressage😂 so one day I jumped him and after he just bucked me off and jumped the cross pole over and over 🤣 love him still
QOTD - My horse is excited EVERY DAY, He does a bunch of happy dances (Nice word for bucking) After every jump xD, he also loves to run with me lol, he's very young though, so its just part of owning a youngling xD
Was riding one of the horses at my stable who is prone to the occasional spook but is also considered probably the most ‘bomb-proof’ of all our horses. However this particular lesson he decided that jumping was very fun indeed and was speeding around as fast as possible (including throwing in a tighter turn than expected that ever scared him). When we were supposed to finish off the lesson with a nice calm canter to the back of the ride, he decided this was all very very exciting and decided to canter at full speed sideways down the long side and just bolt another lap around, blatantly refusing to listen to me asking him to stop so yeah, unsure if he was uncomfortable or just really enjoying a good run, I believe his ears were forward so it seemed more like he was enjoying it
Sophie Wood We have a pony exactly like that, he’s so capable, but will test any riders who push him a bit harder, but he’s an absolute sweetheart when it comes to young or unconfident riders. It’s east to forget how intuitive and kind horses can be ❤️
PonyCam that’s exactly like this horse at my yard honestly, he’s getting old but he’s the sweetest horse going and he can really show his young side when he’s feeling spicy. They really are some of the smartest animals the way they can understand the feelings of their riders
QOTD: 15.2 Andalusian X Arab mare called Chenoa. Whenever we were out on a hack and went to canter she broncs me straight off and catches up with the ride 😂 She only does this with me though 🤔🤔
QOTD: Yep a pony called Bonnie at my riding school. No one in my group rides her but I’ve jumped her a few times and she’s definitely wild and crazy. Bolting in the canter. Rushing after the fences. The rushing after the fences I’d be fine with if it wasn’t for her also putting her head down causing my reins to slip and me to end up on her neck🙈but she jumps with me. I’ve seen many people from my other group try to jump her and she always stops. My instructor always says that Bonnie likes me riding her or else she wouldn’t jump so I guess that’s great at least😂haven’t fallen off her yet but I’ve sat on her neck once and hung on the side of her neck once as well😬
Have you tried looking at if the saddle fits him right? Is he always done this? Was that the first time he has bucked? Just asking because my horse would buck, and we would never know why. Until we found out that the saddle didn’t fit.
The last thing you need is internet trainer but what I do when my horse is a psycho I make sure she's on a bend. It stops her looking an spooking and makes in difficult to run away with me! Just a wee bit of advice! You're an amazing rider and I admire you so much! 💚💚💚💚
rode a horse in my last lesson that was having a little bit too much fun on an unusually windy day and just happens to know a little trick for how to get people off his back 😂 got me off then looked all sorry and sad so i forgave him and got back on. The little jerk had the audacity to do it again and try snd look pitiful the second time! My trainer had me go get a different beast while she got on him for a bit 😂😂😂
QOTD: I recently started loaning a pony who hadn't been in the school much for a while before I got on her. After being told by her owner "she's lovely to ride, and so well behaved!" she got completely over excited and we had squealing, rearing and bronking! No horse has ever done that to me before and it scared the pants off me! But I've persevered, and a month later she's back to her normal self, she's really enjoying her schooling, and if we do have an excited moment it doesn't scare me any more, we can work through it. I keep telling myself all experience is good experience!
I rode this pony named digby R.I.P buddy and we were at the front of the ride and he got so excited he bolted off. And stuck his head between his legs I fell off ð
I call the mare I ride (in my pfp) Spicy Mare. XD she's usually quite calm but occasionally she can get very opinionated about life and how I do things.
PonyCam Silver had a slipping saddle last week, we stopped and sorted it out for him, didn’t stop him being cheeky. I’m still panicking with my cantering.
You handled that really well however you came across very nervous you could tell in your voice and the way you ride, If you relax a bit more it might help xx
I wasn't really nervous, just surprised as this horse has never done anything like this before. I was definitely extra focussed and ready for him to spook/bronc again, but just thought it was funny by the time he started squealing! 😁 xx
One Magic with extra chillis please! 🌶 Spicy pony happens between 03:09 and 06:34 - I know the description under the video is ridiculously long, but please do give it a read as it explains fully the Whats/Whys/Hows of this unusual ride!!

Start of lesson: good boy!
Middle of lesson: noooo, STOP!
Wow, a like, I am impressed!
You rode him sooo well, good job
Totally understand the issue with the saddle, been in the same boat while back when it happened to me. At least, it's sorted now and he is comfortable.
Hi Claire, would you please let me know what brand of butt glue you use? Thanks
Edit: oh wow 50 likes?! guess a lot of us need that glue!
Equestrian 3 😂❤️

She should make her own one :3 cause we all need that

Also, Magic channelled his inner kangaroo very well 😉😏
The second his head went down i was thinking sit back, hold on! But you sat through it really well
well done for staying on! I had a saddle slip incident and ended up with it rolling to the side so much I came off. Fortunately it was whilst the horse was stood still so it wasn't too bad. Girth was a bit dodgy so that ended up being thrown away and replaced.

Now my first instinct is to check my girth. Be careful riding everyone! Ps. You sat him so well Claire, well done! 💞
QOTD: Smartie tends to get a bit spicy in the winter and I’m riding him for gymkhana games tomorrow so there’s a pretty good chance I’ll get bucked off! 😂 💕💕💕
Good luck! 😂
PonyCam Thank you! 💕
Well sat and well done for continuing with the lesson on him. From the video he appears quite fresh and then him bolting pushing the saddle back definitely didn't help. He is an owned horse rather than a school horse and they can be a bit more firey. Luckily you stayed on but it will be a lesson you won't forget. Over the years I have had several horses and ponies rodeo with me, never nice. Glad the tack has been replaced.
QOTD:
I rode this pony yesterday and her name is Maisy. She gets quite strong and quick when jumping and refuses a lot. She’s still learning and quite young so hopefully she’ll break her speedy habits!
Was he bolting??
Anyway well done for sitting the bucks❤️
I had a day like this last week. I have been back in the saddle for a few months now. We are working on my confidence in general and in canter. Well pony had other ideas, first of all didn't want to go out of the stable couldn't get him to move, warmed up nicely then when we moved onto the transition section sand went into canter he threw a massive buck, scared me half to death. Turns out it was because when I went into canter I tensed (a thing I do a lot hence the confidence building) and told him to slow down he basically told me to make up my mind he did it another time for good measure. Slightly nervous for tomorrow. Sorry for the long comment and love the videos!! ❤️
Good luck for tomorrow! I'm sure everything will be fine! ❤️
@@PonyCam Thanks! I just need to relax, easier said than done x
In my riding school there is a gelding named Kalle. He has been in the riding school the longest but he is probably the hardest to ride. He is EXTREMELY stubborn and never does what he is told right away. You have to prove that you are the alpha to him first. Once, there was a banana lying on the fence by the arena during a lesson, he had his eyes on it the entire lesson and suddenly, he decided that he should eat it and so he did. No other horse thought about it.
What do you mean "you have to prove you are the alpha first"? Not how horses work and a pretty toxic mentality
@@youreinvalid8493 Just because you are the leader doesn't mean you treat the horse bad you know.
@@hanniras I know I just want to know where you got this "leader" idea from in the first place. I've had horses and dogs alike, all well and fully trained and I've never had to be a "leader" towards them. People who don't believe that you and an animal can have a functioning team dynamic kind of upset me, the animal should want to be good, not be forced.
@@youreinvalid8493 I understand where you are coming from, it is important to work with the horse but (this is just a guess!) I think what he/she meant was that the rider is meant to be telling the horse what to do, not the other way round. I think he/she worded it differently and that's what made it sound a bit odd.. Again this is just a guess
@@youreinvalid8493 Being the leader doesn't mean that you can't be a team and it doesn't mean that you treat the horse bad.
Well he sure is magical
Have you ever taken a part in a competition? You're fantastic and Magic is a very beautiful horse!!❤
Claudia & Giulia No I’ve actually never competed in my life!! (Not sure a riding school competition, jumping a 5x 1ft cross pole ‘course’ [just round the edge of a field], in walk/trot, where I came 5th out of 6, when I was about 13, and won a ‘well done for taking part’ rosette, really counts) 😂❤️
@@PonyCam thank you for your answer❤
My saddle slipped once when i was cantering then i fell into a jump post ._.
i aspire to ride as well as you omg
My pony did this on my hack today 😂
Oh know! I have subbed to your channel❤
QOTD: I rode a pony yesterday called mickey who is known at the yard for being a lil bit of a spaz monster - it was only my second time riding him and the first trot was really nice and he looked gorgeous but in the second trot he decided to zoom and we cantered around the arena 🙈then we were trotting a pole course (that the older people were gonna jump) and he was a complete mess 🙈 one of the older girls had to try and lead him round the course while I sat there and tried to stay on 🙈 I couldn't tell what he was doing but I think there were some bucks in there 😅🙈 eventually we 'trotted' down the long side to the back of the ride 🙈 it was a fun lesson overall and he is now my favourite to ride xx
I had the exact same things with a horse I rode for a lady, he was called jack- he was trying a new saddle and especially on one rein he would just bronc in transitions
You sat that really well! It's funny, from the angle of the GoPro, the bolting and bucking seemed much more severe. But the video from someone on the ground made it look a bit tamer. Just goes to show that things feel worse (or bigger) when you're sitting in the saddle!
Yes it certainly wasn't as bad as it looked on the GoPro version, everything always seems a bit faster from higher up!
Hey sweetie , absolutely love your bids and I’ve noticed my horse has been , let’s say , rather energetic recently ahah , also just wondering , what is the size of that arena , it looks lush!!
Lucy Raeburn-Prouse Thanks! It’s 20x40m
I've ridden on a crazy pony called twix he's basically a bucking bronco! 🙉🙈🤣 But he can be a sweet face when he feels like it! 🙈🙈🙈🙈
You are so good rider
Hey,any equestrians watching this,is it normal to have this constant fear before riding? I’ve fallen before one time and it wasn’t that bad (just really strong headaches) but I just fear falling again,I had stopped for a year because my parents couldn’t bare to see me cry every time I had to go ride.So I stopped,ive started riding again in September because it was something I missed so bad...But yeah,the fear still isn’t gone,if you have any tips,please help💕😕
Adele Wolfton I used to feel like this too! It was only until I rode a little Welsh x Shetland on a weekly basis that I didn’t anymore! It think it’s a case of letting your instructor know how your feeling, and not pushing yourself too far until your ready! Riding a horse/pony that you trust and that’s going to keep you safe does the trick! Good luck xx
1:26 how do you do that sound and why?
The clicking? I do it with my mouth when the horse isn't quite listening to me leg enough (needing a bit more impulsion or speed), but a kick or tap with the stick would be too much. It basically just means 'please take it up a notch' to the horse, without the rider having to use any force. Some horses respond to clicking quite well, some completely ignore it.
@@PonyCam Thank you very much!💖
QOTD: you mean every horse I ever leased or rode frequently 🙃 yes (at least whenever they saw poles)
My horse gets REALLY excited when he sees a jump even though he does dressage😂 so one day I jumped him and after he just bucked me off and jumped the cross pole over and over 🤣 love him still
Where do you ride??
QOTD - My horse is excited EVERY DAY, He does a bunch of happy dances (Nice word for bucking) After every jump xD, he also loves to run with me lol, he's very young though, so its just part of owning a youngling xD
Was riding one of the horses at my stable who is prone to the occasional spook but is also considered probably the most ‘bomb-proof’ of all our horses. However this particular lesson he decided that jumping was very fun indeed and was speeding around as fast as possible (including throwing in a tighter turn than expected that ever scared him). When we were supposed to finish off the lesson with a nice calm canter to the back of the ride, he decided this was all very very exciting and decided to canter at full speed sideways down the long side and just bolt another lap around, blatantly refusing to listen to me asking him to stop so yeah, unsure if he was uncomfortable or just really enjoying a good run, I believe his ears were forward so it seemed more like he was enjoying it
Ah yes, love the 'bomb proof' ponies who don't quite live up to their name 😂
PonyCam he truly is an honest gentleman though and I know he would never have done it if the person riding him had not been confident
Sophie Wood We have a pony exactly like that, he’s so capable, but will test any riders who push him a bit harder, but he’s an absolute sweetheart when it comes to young or unconfident riders. It’s east to forget how intuitive and kind horses can be ❤️
PonyCam that’s exactly like this horse at my yard honestly, he’s getting old but he’s the sweetest horse going and he can really show his young side when he’s feeling spicy. They really are some of the smartest animals the way they can understand the feelings of their riders
QOTD: 15.2 Andalusian X Arab mare called Chenoa. Whenever we were out on a hack and went to canter she broncs me straight off and catches up with the ride 😂 She only does this with me though 🤔🤔
QOTD: Yep a pony called Bonnie at my riding school. No one in my group rides her but I’ve jumped her a few times and she’s definitely wild and crazy. Bolting in the canter. Rushing after the fences. The rushing after the fences I’d be fine with if it wasn’t for her also putting her head down causing my reins to slip and me to end up on her neck🙈but she jumps with me. I’ve seen many people from my other group try to jump her and she always stops. My instructor always says that Bonnie likes me riding her or else she wouldn’t jump so I guess that’s great at least😂haven’t fallen off her yet but I’ve sat on her neck once and hung on the side of her neck once as well😬
Have you tried looking at if the saddle fits him right? Is he always done this? Was that the first time he has bucked? Just asking because my horse would buck, and we would never know why. Until we found out that the saddle didn’t fit.
Kylee Redman Please read the description or the pinned comment at the top x
She rid those bucks incredibly :O
It’s rode
The last thing you need is internet trainer but what I do when my horse is a psycho I make sure she's on a bend. It stops her looking an spooking and makes in difficult to run away with me! Just a wee bit of advice! You're an amazing rider and I admire you so much! 💚💚💚💚
rode a horse in my last lesson that was having a little bit too much fun on an unusually windy day and just happens to know a little trick for how to get people off his back 😂 got me off then looked all sorry and sad so i forgave him and got back on. The little jerk had the audacity to do it again and try snd look pitiful the second time! My trainer had me go get a different beast while she got on him for a bit 😂😂😂
omg well sat 👏 QOTD: no, not really, most of the horses I ride are slow and steady🤍
Wanted to show u his moves 🤣
Who else forgets to do the other stirrup when they are getting on ???
QOTD: I recently started loaning a pony who hadn't been in the school much for a while before I got on her. After being told by her owner "she's lovely to ride, and so well behaved!" she got completely over excited and we had squealing, rearing and bronking! No horse has ever done that to me before and it scared the pants off me! But I've persevered, and a month later she's back to her normal self, she's really enjoying her schooling, and if we do have an excited moment it doesn't scare me any more, we can work through it. I keep telling myself all experience is good experience!
I rode this pony named digby R.I.P buddy and we were at the front of the ride and he got so excited he bolted off. And stuck his head between his legs I fell off ð
This is literally my horse 😂😂
Qotd: my horse gets wayyyyy too excited when it rains and goes on a mad bronc around the school ( he's 17.3hh😂 and he's also 24)
Is magic yours? Xxxx
Loaning Lola No he is a working livery in a riding school x
Nice 👍🏻
I call the mare I ride (in my pfp) Spicy Mare. XD she's usually quite calm but occasionally she can get very opinionated about life and how I do things.
Magic’s have a reputation of being sassy and fresh all the time huh? My Magic is SUPER sassy
Oh Magic.
Danielle Dewitt My thoughts exactly 😁
PonyCam Silver had a slipping saddle last week, we stopped and sorted it out for him, didn’t stop him being cheeky. I’m still panicking with my cantering.
nahh he is just dancing!
How old are you?
this is how many times she says good boy
like how many times she says good boy!
You handled that really well however you came across very nervous you could tell in your voice and the way you ride, If you relax a bit more it might help xx
I wasn't really nervous, just surprised as this horse has never done anything like this before. I was definitely extra focussed and ready for him to spook/bronc again, but just thought it was funny by the time he started squealing! 😁 xx
