Nobody else seems to be saying it, so I will. You're one hell of a rider to sit those rears and bucks. You give with your hands as soon as he's thinking of going up, and you don't yank when he's coming down. I agree that maybe jumping isn't the best thing for a horse with behavioral issues, but I also don't know you or your horse, and you have a trainer working with you who can judge what is best more than anyone on the internet can. Good for you for sticking with him.
@@cassyxjean2935 Well there must be a reason for you to disagree... and if you know anything about horses then why not explain your opinion and not just put it out there?
You know, I really appreciate that you release his mouth when he rears, and good job staying on, I know what it feels like :) (except my horse is 17.2)
Mac reminds me of the 5 year old OTTB I ride. When I first started riding him, he would buck every time we would transition up or down and now we are competing in .9 jumper classes, and I couldn't be prouder. Thank you Therese for not giving up on your horses. ❤️
@@sonaholesova8673 she is,its just her horse was proably abused by its old owners?! she is an amazing rider,she sat the buckes and rears,calmed her horse down and most of all,treated him with resepct! im an equestrian aswell you know,i own a horse aswell so i know how it feels
I cry like every time when my horse is a bit crazy and you are so brave!!! You always think of the best things!! Thank you so much you always give me new Energie to start again !!!!!!!!! THX FOR ALL !!!!!!!❤️❤️❤️❤️
I'm so angry with your instructor. Obviously you are an incredible rider but your horse needs lots of flat work in flexing and confidence. I don't care if this was just a naughty day, jumping should be stop and circles in walk, trot, extented trot, canter and transitions should be immediately started. These exercises when well mastered then can resume to pole and gymnastics execrises. After many sessions of thoses of his willness on loose rein may you slowly intoduce jumping. i hope u are still riding and learning to be a great horsewomen by learning patience with this horse even if you are competing with another
She's a FANTASIC rider!! Bet you wouldn't have been able to move as one with that horse to keep from getting bucked constantly! You sound like the type that would've GIVEN UP on a previously mistreated animal and take the easy route!! Working with Disturbed animalswith disturbing pasts is completely different than working with animals that have had good lives from the beginning. The training is quite different than your personal philosophy on training... Or should I say your trainers personal philosophy on training?! this was nothing but hateration on someone who's probably a better writer than you will ever be. a better person for not giving up on a pony because we both know what happens to them when they're giving up on don't we? so maybe you should climb down off your high horse, hun completely intended, and give props and support where it's deserved instead of beingoverly critical about something you know nothing about which is dealing with a horse that's been through issues. Every trainer has their different style and school of thought by the way...you obviously are not a critical thinker or you would have studied all these other schools of thought before rattling off the one that you are programmed by
@@streghewitch77 who cares if she writes better than you . We are talking about horse riding lol.. Anyone who works with a horse with a disturbing past would know better to ride a horse who is mentally and emotionally unfit as this poor pony is. If she took the time to gain the pony's respect and trust on the ground she wouldn't have had the problems on his back
I think you did really when in most of these situations, i just really notice than whenever he rears it's after you pull on the reins or have them too short, maybe he's not a fan of that, lot's of horses find it easier to relax on a slightly longer reign
Ok so she's not perfect but let's remember here that she was a novice and had only been riding 3 years by this point. I'd say she's handling it pretty darn well. And let be honest here we have all accidently yanked on the reins, it's part of learning. You'd be lying if you told me you've never done that
+Laura BLair maybe one or twice but where i ride we always learn with longer reins to minimize that. Horses dont respond well to tightness in any part of you, whether it is your reigns or your seat which is really tight. But as i said, i think she handled most of the situations really well, it's just when a horse cant communicate what is wrong to us we have to make 100% sure that we arent the causes of the problem. 90% it will be us doing something which causes the horse to behave the wrong way, which ofc we all do all the time it is just important to notice it
+Laura BLair i did literally say about three times that she did well... I also said that you can never be 100% sure that you arent the one causing problems in the horse in the first place
Don't understand why you jumped with him. If he had such a bad experience with humans ect. why don't you improve your trust to each other before starting riding, especially jumping?
Anna Rigsby No Anna. You do not start jumping at all, until the horse is confident in at least the basic cues. This horse was no where near ready to start jumping. Too much pressure, hence what looked like months of rearing, baulking and bucking.
Listen Up look you don't know this horse, maybe he goes forward when she jumps so that may have helped him. it obviously did cuz he's fixed now!! its whatever the horse does better with, when a horse rears they need to go forward
+Anna Rigsby Ummm except the video just showed him rearing and baulking at jumps several times!! Hence my comment. That is the very reason i mentioned he was not ready to jump. He needed to begin re-education from the ground up. Lastly, this issue of rearing went on for months. That tells me what the rider was doing was too much at this stage for THIS particular horse. Unless there was a pain issue not being addressed.
Listen Up well I'm sorry miss know it all but this ain't your horse is it? Let people do what they wanna do with their horses, it shouldn't be anyone else's business.
Thankyou for being a big inspiration. These videos are the only motivation for me these days. I have a TB gelding, not as this on though, but extremely nervous, bolt and rear happy. And I have been told by those who were supposed to motivate and support me, that he's crazy, there's no fix..and he'll kill me. But I'm not giving up on him. Started groundwork and he's doing super so far, he really wants to learn. Kuddos to you and your impeccable journey with your horse. And know that you are a big inspiration to a lot of riders all over the world :)
Excuses, excuses. I seriously hope you can take these comments as constructive criticism rather than "poor me getting picked on." This horse is giving you EVERY sign that there is way too much pressure on his bit, when he starts rearing you even dig your heels in! I don't care if this horse was seconds away from death, or whatever his past is, *it is not the horse, it is your riding.* I guarantee you've had several horses do this to you. Come on, anyone can see where the problem comes from. This poor horse and whatever others you've no doubt ruined.
Bella K. If you took the time to read the description you would see that she tried bit less and he just kept rearing and being crazy and it didn't work. She had to keep a tight rein or he would bolt and hurt himself. Some people actually care for their horses
Showjumping 09 brideless doesn't mean taht ther is no pressure. It's only on a different part of the face. And maybe it does not work with brideless, maybe with a bit was better, but that doesn't change the fact, that she uses her reins too much. Even in the end of the video
congratulations and thank you for not giving up on this horse. you were able to see the hidden potential and had the skills and courage to stick it out 😍
@@meganparisroseabraham7055 I'm sorry if it came across as rude. And I most definitely exaggerated, but as a somewhat experienced equestrian (I still have much more to learn). Just to add I also said myself that text can be misinterpreted, so both comments have had this problem. I'm sorry and thank you for pulling me up on that, It allows me to be more cautious of what I type. So thank you and sorry to anyone I have offended. Just pointing out that I misinterpreted the original comment.
@@jazp9978 omg you are so nice! , soz i took it the wrong way. i too have much more to learn and you were so humble about ME being rude? , love you dude , i like nice people and i shouldn't have been so fast to jump to conclusions ! :))
So impressed Therese! You have courage and character of a great warrior with a huge heart! Extremely lucky horse that your chose him and brought him along to his potential.
This video was truly amazing to watch! It is so inspirational and shows me to never give up. You sat so well with everything he did and it is incredible to see the transformation.
I have just started to ride. You are a great inspiration to never give up. My horse is stubborn sometimes too. You have kept going. You inspire me to never give up and do what I want to do! Thanks! 😘😘😘
Mayne instead of hating, you could all tell what you think is wrong and give constructive feedback and not make yourselves look better! I guarantee you she didn't upload this to have people comment about things that happened forever ago, but to show how proud she was to accomplish this! And yes, her riding isn't perfect, but no one is this world rides perfectly every single day! I admire her for keep going, I could've never kept riding a horse like that, I would've been knocked down immediately and been frightened to ever go close again! Therese have done some amazing work with this horse, if you just watch till the end of the video you'd know! I really don't want to hate on people, because I respect your opinion, but I just think we should all talk in a nice proper tone the next time! 😊
I am not even going to read the other comments before posting... I can just imagine the debate this video will cause. But what are you doing trying to jump a horse that has so many issues just going forward safely?!? What was your instructor thinking! Your horse was telling you that you were putting too much pressure on him - Irrelevant what his past experiences were or why. You needed to go back to basics and start from scratch. Yes he jumped in the end (after months it seems) but that is not the point. Too much too fast is never the right way. If your horse is rearing and bucking consistantly like that, you need to re-evaluate what you are doing. Next time listen to you horse and always deal with the basics first... Forward stop left right. Dont ask for more until these are consistent. Glad it worked out ok for you both... but you were lucky you were not injured.
Listen Up agreed. Though the problem wasn't constant bit pressure it was the lack of respect your horse had for you. My horse was just like this but very headshy had barely been broke till she was like 7. I slept with her in the barn many nights and spent much of my time with her. But I also taught her respect and trust. It took about a couple years but I ended up with an amazing soulmate that I can ride bareback and with a simple halter on anywhere. Take time and it will show.
I agree with you. First off take the bit and all this other junk to keep his head down. It's the rider's fault that his head keeps going up. Pulling back on the reins while asking to go forward would confuse and frustrate any horse. Go back to basics and build up trust and respect. You should never have to bit your horse or use whips and spurs. People think they have more control with bits, but you don't. It puts so much pain on the tongue and it pulls the tongue back into their throats, the gums and the teeth. I've seen riders who nearly cut their horse's tongues off because of bits. I went bit-less and started riding in a rope halter with my old horse. She was easier to handle and ride without a bit. I believe in using as little equipment as possible with horses. You get better results when it's done that way.
Although i applaud this rider for her determination 'Listen up' has every right to say what she did, because its true and is correct from a professionals perspective, its very good advise! The pony is working totally hollow so needs taking back to basics to teach him to work relaxed and over his back before contemplating any pole work. This pony needs a more sympathetic instructor, not one that throws sand at it to chase it forward because its frightened of the pain it endures jumping hollow! No pony is born bad, man makes them bad!
You are a patient, kind rider and your perseverance paid off, many riders will give up on a difficult horse. Mostly when horses play up they are doing it for a reason, sore mouth, other injury, badly broken in or fear and occasionally but rarely it's just plain cocky and disrespectful. We've had mares that consistently produced difficult offspring, they were tough to work with as foals to handle and to break and ride. One filly would set her ears flat back, spin around and double barrel anyone who went past her stable, she had never been ill treated. It takes a true horseman/ women to recognise the issue and deal with it in the correct manner. Ignore all the ignorant and insulting comments from know it alls because you have succeeded and have a happy horse now!
mmmm. No. I've learned to do my ground work. If youll notice that there are not any recent videos of me riding. Except for the Wrangler Application Video I posted last year. That doesn/t count as I wasnt training those horses. None of them were mine. Plus there were 80+ horses on the ranch and several different people with several different training styles. So I can say I have definitely learned to do my ground work even if I wasn't keen on it in my younger years.
I had the same proplem with my horse some years ago . But I kept trying . And now everything is fine . After two years hart work!!! EVERYTHING IS POSSIPLE
All these people who are hating,what would you do in the situation you would probably give up on the horse and Sell it the fact that she kept trying and didn't give up on the horse shows true belief and love and compassion. If you read the description you would notice that this horse and been abused in the past and obviously if a horse had been abused it will act out when it tries something, it will be sensitive but if you had been abused, and your tonne friend tried to make that better you would be unsure of it just as much as that horse was, there is no need for hate and she doesn't have pressure on the mouth when the horse was rearing the rider wrapped her arms around the horses neck so he reaslises she isn't going to give up or hurt him on purpose.
I love you Therese and think you are such an inspiration to so many people and I feel the need to stand up for you as it breaks my heart to see so many nasty and insecure people attacking you for no reason. You keep doing what you're doing, you should be so proud of yourself, you never ever ever ever give up and always come out the other side (as proven in this video) also a massive well done with Santo and Cara, you are coming on leaps and bounds and I wish you all the best for the future. You are truly and inspiration and don't let anyone else tell you otherwise
+Springers 'n' Horses what does it matter if they are a western rider, literally the only thing that is different between western and English riding is the saddle and events they participate in. I personally ride both styles and have no preference, you do not have the right to stereotype someone on what fucking saddle they use...
+SilverFang_789 and she never said anything about what saddle they used? And by the way you mustn't have done very much englsih riding cause the two are totally different in many different ways
+electrabot haha classic example of someone who doesn't know the whole story 😂 he was HERD BOUND and therefore napped to towards the other horses. Now for your explanation of how he stopped rearing??
I am very thankful you sad that Therese, most people just take horses down, and are too lazy to ride and just dont care. I am glad you send this message to all of us! He is a great pony and you are great person =)
The pony was abused before she got him and the rearing was something he just did. In the description you will read info about things she has tried. Some horses need something to focus on tohelp like poles and jumping. I think she used it as a tactic to try and get him to focus, that's all. She isn't pulling hard considering she is riding in a D ring snaffle with a very weak action, she has tried bitless so its not even mouth pressure doing anything.
BlackMountain150 No you do not jump any horse, until the horse is confident in the basics. This was done the wrong way round. It was too much pressure all at once for that horse. Hence the constant rearing. Not the correct way to fix the issue. Irrelevant of the outcome.
Listen Up How is the outcome irrelevant? The pony came out fab and a real star of a pony. Every pony is different he obviously came out on the good side. Besides the fact just because a method is different doesn't mean it wont work, everything is learned by trial and error. Sometimes if a horse has something to focus on then they are able to work through their insecurities be it on the flat, hacking or jumping.
+BlackMountain150 The outcome is irrelevant because she risked herself, and her horse doing something that they were not ready for, and caused her horse months of unnecessary stress. If she had gone back to basic ground work this behaviour largely could have been avoided. Or corrected in a better way. The horse was pushed to jump and wear draw reins etc... when forward at walk was not even confirmed yet. Rushing things is never ideal if the animal shows signs of not coping like this. I would have started with work in hand with this fellow. Like a breaker. In this case re-breaking to gain confidence and trust. Btw... Just because something ends ok does not mean there can't be a better and faster way.
I wanted to cry when I watched this because of the infinite patience you had with him and the horse you could see within. He is a very blessed pony indeed to have ended up in your hands. What an awesome rider, too, thankfully. This was a joy to watch, though I was on the edge of my seat. :)
You are one amazing rider for sitting all of those bucks, rears, etc. Your pony is a really good jumper. Just keep moving forward and you will get better!💞
You can clearly she is not helping by yanking and pulling on his mouth. Also I half of them she is making him rear by kicking and pulling at the same time.
@@apattloch6700 you NEVER ridden her horse so you DON'T know what this horse does. She has a trainer to tell her what to do. She does NOT need any advise from anyone she has NEVER met before
Well done for having the patience with him and helping him work through his problems, so many knockers out there, bet they couldnt do any better, hope you have a GREAT friends hip with him now...and THANKYOU for not just laying into him with a whip like these knockers would...you did a GREAT job with him!!!!
+Laura Tapp - It doesn't matter how bad your horse is or was nor whether he was abused or not. Pulling on the bit like you are doing is going to amplify every negative response you get. If you can't tell that you are adding too much bit pressure, it's time to get a side pull.
+Laura Tapp is someone can't ride a horse because of different reasons, like scared. Start work with the horse on ground, make the horse trust you. Don't put in a pain bit and yank around...
I have a horse like this, too. He was originally meant to be a pony for kids, but than go wild. I had seen his many talents and the causes because of which he was going wild, so I decided to buy him. People called me crazy, because he was not that afraid, but attacking humans, if he just get the chance and tried hard to get me of his back frequently. He was checked by a vet and everything, so I know he just was acting like this, because of the treatment he had get before I bought him. It is a hard and long way, with such horses and you never know, if they got as great, as you think or end up completely unrideable. People tend to forget the hard work and just see the failures you make, what makes it even harder. After one and a half year of working up the basics with my horse I changed the stable and now a lot of people are saying thinks like: "He is such a good boy!" "He is so talented!" "I can't believe, he would do ever something evil to you!" "He looks so happy!". The fact is, that he is not cured or something. Whenever something reminds him back, he will attack me or other people again, but he gets more and more patient with everything and that was my only goal from the beginning: a good and happy horse. So please keep on going with your work! Even if its hard.
Guys, if you would read the description you would have noticed she tried bitless and it didn't work. It's not the 'bit pressure'. some horses need extra contact. There's a gun of a pony that I ride at my riding school and whenever I'm jumping him he literally tries to gallop towards the jump.. No kidding, so I need to hold my contact quite short. Same with another horse I ride (Tank)💚
My_Bay_Jed When horses rush at a jump it means they are either poorly trained, or poorly ridden or scared. It is never a sign of something good. A well trained confident horse trusts its rider and will steady when asked. There are loads of videos of how to fix or improve this problem. Perhaps watch some. Good luck.
+Listen Up those horses are not poorly trained nor scared. Roger is an Arab to start with, and he was abused in the past, he's a very forward horse anyway, especially in paddocks which is where we jump, since the beginners are in the arena. And Tank use to be used for endurance, so she's been taught to go fast. Everyone just laughs it off at my riding school since they know the horses are always like that.
My_Bay_Jed I’ve been around Arabians my whole life and have owned my first one for 13 years, and it’s a big pet peeve of mine when people say “oh he/she is an Arab” as an excuse for something. The majority of the ones I’ve worked with are very willing to learn, and even if some do have a lot of energy there’s no reason they can’t be taught to contain it. In my experience, the breeds more commonly found in jumping like warmbloods and TBs can actually be WAY more explosive and high-energy than Arabs are.
The rider is delusional. This reeks of someone with a confirmation bias. But let's be real: the rider didn't fix her horse - and is lucky she wasn't seriously injured. But, she did well to stay on. So there's that.
There are so many horrible comment can't u see how far she has come! Working on a horse like that is very hard she doesn't need all this hate she is making it better by not giving up and now he has turned into a nice pony!!!
This is so amazing that you don’t give up because a lot of people give up when their horses don’t do what they say when I work with horses that I just make them do it because I know that they need to listen
Wow...You didn't give up and kept going...that takes resilience and determination so don't listen to the haters. I'd be thrilled if I could ride half as well as you can. You have come so far so well done ❤️
I think you ride really really well! But maybe you should use a little less of hand and less bit pressure. I think it migt help if you do a little dressage training before you jump. You can do neck stretching exercises with the horse for 10 minutes amd then start to jump. I did that with my horse and it really helped a lot☺
You are amazing! Loads of people would have tried to sell that horse after a month, or even put it down! You're such an inspiration, and you show that if you put your heart into something, never give up and just keep trying it will turn out good. ❤️👏
Therese Someone wise once told me that every time you get on a horse you are either training him or untraining him. If you can take a moment, decide if you really want to put in the work to move forward, then you will never regret going back to basics: work him from the ground, Ask advice of someone you respect; ask them to teach you the effective way to train a horse on a lunge line with poles placed on the ground to help him teach himself balance and rhythm. There is too much going on right now. Give yourself a break. I promise you after a couple of weeks of ground work with poles you'll have a calmer more trusting horse & you'll be able to trust him as well. You'll find out on your own that you don't need martingales or running reins to. I wish you all the luck in the world and all the fun that comes from learning with your horse
This video does not deserve hate comments. First of all your an amazing rider for sitting all of these reads and bucks. Obviously yes, sometimes your reins are too short and whatnot but your obviously doing your best and no ones perfect. It’s hard to know what to do in the exact moment of a buck and you rode them all very well. ;)
try a harder or softer bit maybe its that? i read the description relax. try a straight rubber one. my horse freaked the fuck out when i tried different bits and then i tried a straight rubber one and he was fine. much more relaxed. just a suggestion.
Wow after reading the comments... girl, you two have made such a drastic improvement, and obviously what you did to get there together worked. You stuck with this horse and you've made a wonderful animal into a beautiful teammate. Also, hella props to you sticking through so many rears and buck and pigroots!! Ignore the neighsayers (heh pun), you've done your horse right and proud!!
Maybe she should be working on getting him to bring his head down and to relax. There could be a very good reason why he's behaving this way, out in the poll, some form of discomfort. The running reins, and check, that are being used seem like a bit of a bandaid to me. He could seriously hurt his rider, and himself by continuing this behaviour. Well done to the rider for sticking it out, but maybe look for a cause and solution
Wow nice job hun. I know I'm a bit late 😜 But for the sake of anyone in the future reading this: she did a very nice job learning to grab the neck when rearing, so good to see! And this is a perfectly fine horse and rider. The only thing they need to be wary of is to not teach the horse to rear in the future. You know, like those liberty insta girls 😒😛
hey this isnt hate, i beleive she did an AMAZING job with this horse!!(unlike all the haters) and i LOVEEE her videos, but somebody said that grabbing on to the neck when the horse rears is actually a bad habit and it teaches the horse to rear, is this true?i dont think though😃 have a nice night😊or day whenever you read this😂😊
+BLUE paws I guess for some horses that pressure might still encourage the rear, but it's better than holding onto the reins because then the horse will continue to rear until the rider falls off or the horse goes over backwards. Either of these would be a release of pressure and the horse would see it as a positive effect of rearing. I think ideally the rider should grab the mane, but the neck is still so much better than the bit. And it just so happens to be exactly midnight! Off to bed I go... 😉
You are such an amazing. And with a Horse that has had a Horrid back round at so young you have done so well. And the Jumping clips of him at the end are so amazing to know that What he was doing before to jumping. If some people had a Horse like this they would sell them Straight away, but u have Been so strong with him and Had him come over his fear of Jumping is Good Horsemanship. I've been rider for 13yrs and have the same experience. U inspire me so Much Therese just keep Looking forwards. well done
Pia Jaap sie geht sogar sehr gut mit der Situation um. Sie bleibt drauf und schlägt oder tritt das Pferd nicht nach seinem „Fehlverhalten“. Die einzigen Personen, die da etwas falsch gemacht haben, sind die Trainer.
Pia, du hast absolut recht!! Das arme Pferd!! Da sollte jemand lernen ein Pferd zu lesen und nicht ihm Schmerzen zuzufügen !!! Unfassbar wieviele ahnungslose Menschen dieses Verhalten auch noch loben... smh
I love this just because a horse is difficult doesn't mean he is a runt and he shouldn't do something it just means you have to work with him gain his trust read him and make it work. i fully stand behind you for working through the horses kinks because its clear you love him to mutch to just give up on him.
i have just got a new horse and the beginning of this video is me and him at the minute and i just wanted to give up but then i came across this video and now i am really excited for what our future brings after seeing yours!!!
You are amazing! It's great that you have managed to help your horse and that they are well behaved now. We need more people in the world like you. Great job I hope you guys are happy. 😍💜😘👌🏼👏🏻👍🏼🐴🎉🎊🎈
I don't get why you expect to see nice comments here... If you really did have a heart for your poor horses you would be able to understand that you've ripped the horse's mouth everytime you rode him with putting that much pressure with your bit and pulling on those reins. Smh and all those people saying you were an inspiration, what is wrong with you people. That's not how you treat your horses! Wake up! Because one day you're gonna do these things to the wrong horse and you will suffer the consequences, as usual, blaming the horse.
Apparently you cant read the desc. She had already tries bitless, and different styles of bits. She did not in ANY way abuse the horse. Her horse was young, and hyper. You obviously don't have any real equestrian knowledge.
What a beautiful horse!♡How could anyone hurt such magnificent creatures? When our dogs whine wanting out, even that is enough to make my hart just shatter. It's a shame that some animals go their whole life not knowing what a soft touch is, what a full stomach feels like, or even what the outside world looks like...🐎🏇
In my experience, the more you try to hold a horse back, the more they act out. If it were me, I'd trash the flash, martingales, and other restrictive devices and teach him to obey through trust and partnership rather than through force. The more comfortable he is, the less likely he is to try to escape from the situation.
You've stuck with your horse through some really hard times, and you're a great rider.... I felt inspired after watching this video.... and the song you've put to it is amazing. I've never heard it before, and I'm going through a few things atm.... it really hit a chord with me.
wow 😍😍 so many people are giving u hate but this was not ur fault! ur amazing! ur horse had issues and u never gave up and ur an amazing rider and equestrian! i know what it can be like to have to go through this with a horse and i know how hard it can get to not give up. GREAT job! keep on riding!
Thank you so much! Finally! I hate these people that are hating. I bet that in Therese's situation they would have done the exact same thing they were hating on her for and then fallen and given up on the horse and accomplish nothing at all.
Samantha Galipeau I completely agree. I want to try putting THEM on this pony and see how they get on. I admire Therese and all the work she does with her horses ❤️
Wow... your determination is breath taking!! I would’ve probably never ridden this horse again after the first rear! I’m very impressed with your riding skills and your horse will be absolutely amazing if it isn’t already
I bought a green-broke Mo. Foxtrot term when I was 16. He was scared of everything and reared constantly, not out of meanest but fear. We became best friends and he became the best trail horse you would ever want! RIP Sam.
Just read the description and watched the video to the end. Well done all concerned! So many people would have given up on that pony and left it to be passed from pillar to post and, quite likely, drugged in order to sell. You have a solid friend for life there, and you certainly deserve one. But please don't ever sell him on because chances are all those problems will return with a different owner. His confidence and trust comes from you, his mum. x
GREAT JOB!! It was probably hard work and effort most ppl would have just given up on it so thank you for not being one of those ppl and seeing the horse as a winner!❤️❤️❤️

Nobody else seems to be saying it, so I will. You're one hell of a rider to sit those rears and bucks. You give with your hands as soon as he's thinking of going up, and you don't yank when he's coming down. I agree that maybe jumping isn't the best thing for a horse with behavioral issues, but I also don't know you or your horse, and you have a trainer working with you who can judge what is best more than anyone on the internet can. Good for you for sticking with him.
100% dissagree

Mac reminds me of the 5 year old OTTB I ride. When I first started riding him, he would buck every time we would transition up or down and now we are competing in .9 jumper classes, and I couldn't be prouder. Thank you Therese for not giving up on your horses. ❤️
You are amazing for sticking with this horse and not giving up.
is everything okay with his back and his teeth? because it’s seems like something hurts him...
Leni Love this was over 3 years ago, he’s so much better now :)
The fact that you persisted shows your strength of character. Challenging horses turn you into a good and sympathic rider
Ur such a good rider! You're my inspiration❤️
are u serious??
Hola
@@sonaholesova8673 she is,its just her horse was proably abused by its old owners?! she is an amazing rider,she sat the buckes and rears,calmed her horse down and most of all,treated him with resepct! im an equestrian aswell you know,i own a horse aswell so i know how it feels
I cry like every time when my horse is a bit crazy and you are so brave!!! You always think of the best things!! Thank you so much you always give me new Energie to start again !!!!!!!!! THX FOR ALL !!!!!!!❤️❤️❤️❤️
I'm so angry with your instructor. Obviously you are an incredible rider but your horse needs lots of flat work in flexing and confidence. I don't care if this was just a naughty day, jumping should be stop and circles in walk, trot, extented trot, canter and transitions should be immediately started. These exercises when well mastered then can resume to pole and gymnastics execrises. After many sessions of thoses of his willness on loose rein may you slowly intoduce jumping. i hope u are still riding and learning to be a great horsewomen by learning patience with this horse even if you are competing with another
She's a FANTASIC rider!! Bet you wouldn't have been able to move as one with that horse to keep from getting bucked constantly! You sound like the type that would've GIVEN UP on a previously mistreated animal and take the easy route!! Working with Disturbed animalswith disturbing pasts is completely different than working with animals that have had good lives from the beginning. The training is quite different than your personal philosophy on training... Or should I say your trainers personal philosophy on training?! this was nothing but hateration on someone who's probably a better writer than you will ever be. a better person for not giving up on a pony because we both know what happens to them when they're giving up on don't we? so maybe you should climb down off your high horse, hun completely intended, and give props and support where it's deserved instead of beingoverly critical about something you know nothing about which is dealing with a horse that's been through issues. Every trainer has their different style and school of thought by the way...you obviously are not a critical thinker or you would have studied all these other schools of thought before rattling off the one that you are programmed by
@@streghewitch77 who cares if she writes better than you . We are talking about horse riding lol.. Anyone who works with a horse with a disturbing past would know better to ride a horse who is mentally and emotionally unfit as this poor pony is. If she took the time to gain the pony's respect and trust on the ground she wouldn't have had the problems on his back
THANK YOU! THATS WHAT I WAS TRYING TO SAY!
@@streghewitch77 most of the times the horse was rearing because of the rider's action on the reins...
you have me deepest respect for keeping going and not giving up on him. This video is beautiful.
I think you did really when in most of these situations, i just really notice than whenever he rears it's after you pull on the reins or have them too short, maybe he's not a fan of that, lot's of horses find it easier to relax on a slightly longer reign
Well* lol
Ok so she's not perfect but let's remember here that she was a novice and had only been riding 3 years by this point. I'd say she's handling it pretty darn well. And let be honest here we have all accidently yanked on the reins, it's part of learning. You'd be lying if you told me you've never done that
+Laura BLair maybe one or twice but where i ride we always learn with longer reins to minimize that. Horses dont respond well to tightness in any part of you, whether it is your reigns or your seat which is really tight. But as i said, i think she handled most of the situations really well, it's just when a horse cant communicate what is wrong to us we have to make 100% sure that we arent the causes of the problem. 90% it will be us doing something which causes the horse to behave the wrong way, which ofc we all do all the time it is just important to notice it
+Jasmine Sheppard I know but riding school horses are very different. To me she handled this horse amazingly.
+Laura BLair i did literally say about three times that she did well... I also said that you can never be 100% sure that you arent the one causing problems in the horse in the first place
This is AMAZING your seat is goals and this just shows all the hard work you have done and home much courage and confidence you have in your horse.
Don't understand why you jumped with him. If he had such a bad experience with humans ect. why don't you improve your trust to each other before starting riding, especially jumping?
Nina Franziska because jumping would encourage him to go forward and that what he needed!
Anna Rigsby No Anna. You do not start jumping at all, until the horse is confident in at least the basic cues. This horse was no where near ready to start jumping. Too much pressure, hence what looked like months of rearing, baulking and bucking.
Listen Up look you don't know this horse, maybe he goes forward when she jumps so that may have helped him. it obviously did cuz he's fixed now!! its whatever the horse does better with, when a horse rears they need to go forward
+Anna Rigsby Ummm except the video just showed him rearing and baulking at jumps several times!!
Hence my comment.
That is the very reason i mentioned he was not ready to jump.
He needed to begin re-education from the ground up.
Lastly, this issue of rearing went on for months.
That tells me what the rider was doing was too much at this stage for THIS particular horse.
Unless there was a pain issue not being addressed.
Listen Up well I'm sorry miss know it all but this ain't your horse is it? Let people do what they wanna do with their horses, it shouldn't be anyone else's business.
Thankyou for being a big inspiration. These videos are the only motivation for me these days. I have a TB gelding, not as this on though, but extremely nervous, bolt and rear happy. And I have been told by those who were supposed to motivate and support me, that he's crazy, there's no fix..and he'll kill me. But I'm not giving up on him. Started groundwork and he's doing super so far, he really wants to learn.
Kuddos to you and your impeccable journey with your horse. And know that you are a big inspiration to a lot of riders all over the world :)
Excuses, excuses. I seriously hope you can take these comments as constructive criticism rather than "poor me getting picked on." This horse is giving you EVERY sign that there is way too much pressure on his bit, when he starts rearing you even dig your heels in! I don't care if this horse was seconds away from death, or whatever his past is, *it is not the horse, it is your riding.* I guarantee you've had several horses do this to you. Come on, anyone can see where the problem comes from. This poor horse and whatever others you've no doubt ruined.
Bella K. If you took the time to read the description you would see that she tried bit less and he just kept rearing and being crazy and it didn't work. She had to keep a tight rein or he would bolt and hurt himself. Some people actually care for their horses
20HorseLover01 😡😡😡😡😡😡😡 a hole
Shut up bitch
Showjumping 09 brideless doesn't mean taht ther is no pressure. It's only on a different part of the face. And maybe it does not work with brideless, maybe with a bit was better, but that doesn't change the fact, that she uses her reins too much. Even in the end of the video
@@30ratsstackedinatrenchcoat91 is there really any need for you to be a dick, really?
congratulations and thank you for not giving up on this horse. you were able to see the hidden potential and had the skills and courage to stick it out 😍
If you know he isn't the most comfortable with humans and being under saddle, why wouldn't you slow things down and try ground work?
You don’t know what happens when the camera is off please remember that and be respectful 😊
@Jazmin Pohlmann they said it nicely, no need to be rude yourself wth....
@@meganparisroseabraham7055 I'm sorry if it came across as rude. And I most definitely exaggerated, but as a somewhat experienced equestrian (I still have much more to learn). Just to add I also said myself that text can be misinterpreted, so both comments have had this problem. I'm sorry and thank you for pulling me up on that, It allows me to be more cautious of what I type. So thank you and sorry to anyone I have offended. Just pointing out that I misinterpreted the original comment.
@@jazp9978 omg you are so nice! , soz i took it the wrong way. i too have much more to learn and you were so humble about ME being rude? , love you dude , i like nice people and i shouldn't have been so fast to jump to conclusions ! :))
Jaz P aww it’s ok 👍🏻 to be fair I sounded a bit full of myself 😂 ok not actually sorry 😂
So impressed Therese! You have courage and character of a great warrior with a huge heart! Extremely lucky horse that your chose him and brought him along to his potential.
This video was truly amazing to watch! It is so inspirational and shows me to never give up. You sat so well with everything he did and it is incredible to see the transformation.
Hola
I have just started to ride. You are a great inspiration to never give up. My horse is stubborn sometimes too. You have kept going. You inspire me to never give up and do what I want to do! Thanks! 😘😘😘
Mayne instead of hating, you could all tell what you think is wrong and give constructive feedback and not make yourselves look better! I guarantee you she didn't upload this to have people comment about things that happened forever ago, but to show how proud she was to accomplish this! And yes, her riding isn't perfect, but no one is this world rides perfectly every single day! I admire her for keep going, I could've never kept riding a horse like that, I would've been knocked down immediately and been frightened to ever go close again! Therese have done some amazing work with this horse, if you just watch till the end of the video you'd know!
I really don't want to hate on people, because I respect your opinion, but I just think we should all talk in a nice proper tone the next time! 😊
Agreed
FINALLY SOMEONE WHO UNDERSTANDS!!!
I just wanted to say that I thank you for not giving up on him. Thank you.
I am not even going to read the other comments before posting... I can just imagine the debate this video will cause. But what are you doing trying to jump a horse that has so many issues just going forward safely?!?
What was your instructor thinking!
Your horse was telling you that you were putting too much pressure on him - Irrelevant what his past experiences were or why.
You needed to go back to basics and start from scratch.
Yes he jumped in the end (after months it seems) but that is not the point.
Too much too fast is never the right way.
If your horse is rearing and bucking consistantly like that, you need to re-evaluate what you are doing.
Next time listen to you horse and always deal with the basics first... Forward stop left right.
Dont ask for more until these are consistent.
Glad it worked out ok for you both... but you were lucky you were not injured.
Listen Up agreed. Though the problem wasn't constant bit pressure it was the lack of respect your horse had for you. My horse was just like this but very headshy had barely been broke till she was like 7. I slept with her in the barn many nights and spent much of my time with her. But I also taught her respect and trust. It took about a couple years but I ended up with an amazing soulmate that I can ride bareback and with a simple halter on anywhere. Take time and it will show.
Abigail K Glad your horse is going well for you now.
But i never mentioned "bit" pressure...??
Pressure be applied in a myriad of ways. Even voice.
i know, i got confused and posted this as a reply instead of a comment my bad;).
I agree with you. First off take the bit and all this other junk to keep his head down. It's the rider's fault that his head keeps going up. Pulling back on the reins while asking to go forward would confuse and frustrate any horse. Go back to basics and build up trust and respect. You should never have to bit your horse or use whips and spurs. People think they have more control with bits, but you don't. It puts so much pain on the tongue and it pulls the tongue back into their throats, the gums and the teeth. I've seen riders who nearly cut their horse's tongues off because of bits. I went bit-less and started riding in a rope halter with my old horse. She was easier to handle and ride without a bit. I believe in using as little equipment as possible with horses. You get better results when it's done that way.
Although i applaud this rider for her determination 'Listen up' has every right to say what she did, because its true and is correct from a professionals perspective, its very good advise! The pony is working totally hollow so needs taking back to basics to teach him to work relaxed and over his back before contemplating any pole work. This pony needs a more sympathetic instructor, not one that throws sand at it to chase it forward because its frightened of the pain it endures jumping hollow! No pony is born bad, man makes them bad!
Thank you for not giving up on him
I love how you don't get mad at him when he rears
You are a patient, kind rider and your perseverance paid off, many riders will give up on a difficult horse. Mostly when horses play up they are doing it for a reason, sore mouth, other injury, badly broken in or fear and occasionally but rarely it's just plain cocky and disrespectful. We've had mares that consistently produced difficult offspring, they were tough to work with as foals to handle and to break and ride. One filly would set her ears flat back, spin around and double barrel anyone who went past her stable, she had never been ill treated. It takes a true horseman/ women to recognise the issue and deal with it in the correct manner. Ignore all the ignorant and insulting comments from know it alls because you have succeeded and have a happy horse now!
I think someone forgot to do their ground work
Yeah like you.
Nippi Nikki that comeback was so bad it gave me cancer.
mmmm. No. I've learned to do my ground work. If youll notice that there are not any recent videos of me riding. Except for the Wrangler Application Video I posted last year. That doesn/t count as I wasnt training those horses. None of them were mine. Plus there were 80+ horses on the ranch and several different people with several different training styles. So I can say I have definitely learned to do my ground work even if I wasn't keen on it in my younger years.
I actually agree with mystery of jade
That's not nice I don't think you could do better I think it's quite hard to control a horse 👿
Thank god for people like you who stick with horses like this and give them a job. There's only one place they'd end up otherwise.
I had the same proplem with my horse some years ago . But I kept trying . And now everything is fine . After two years hart work!!!
EVERYTHING IS POSSIPLE
All these people who are hating,what would you do in the situation you would probably give up on the horse and Sell it the fact that she kept trying and didn't give up on the horse shows true belief and love and compassion. If you read the description you would notice that this horse and been abused in the past and obviously if a horse had been abused it will act out when it tries something, it will be sensitive but if you had been abused, and your tonne friend tried to make that better you would be unsure of it just as much as that horse was, there is no need for hate and she doesn't have pressure on the mouth when the horse was rearing the rider wrapped her arms around the horses neck so he reaslises she isn't going to give up or hurt him on purpose.
I love you Therese and think you are such an inspiration to so many people and I feel the need to stand up for you as it breaks my heart to see so many nasty and insecure people attacking you for no reason. You keep doing what you're doing, you should be so proud of yourself, you never ever ever ever give up and always come out the other side (as proven in this video) also a massive well done with Santo and Cara, you are coming on leaps and bounds and I wish you all the best for the future. You are truly and inspiration and don't let anyone else tell you otherwise
Thank you so so much Ellie! Best wishes for you too in the future with your lovely boy!
+Springers 'n' Horses what does it matter if they are a western rider, literally the only thing that is different between western and English riding is the saddle and events they participate in. I personally ride both styles and have no preference, you do not have the right to stereotype someone on what fucking saddle they use...
+SilverFang_789 and she never said anything about what saddle they used? And by the way you mustn't have done very much englsih riding cause the two are totally different in many different ways
+electrabot haha classic example of someone who doesn't know the whole story 😂 he was HERD BOUND and therefore napped to towards the other horses. Now for your explanation of how he stopped rearing??
+electrabot I've given you my explanation, now give me yours?? Oh wait, You can't even give me one.
I'm glad you never gave up on him. This is an inspiring story of how not to give up on someone. Wonderful job!
No offense but if you can't control your horse on the flat then why are you jumping it?
I am very thankful you sad that Therese, most people just take horses down, and are too lazy to ride and just dont care. I am glad you send this message to all of us! He is a great pony and you are great person =)
He is clearly rearing as a reaction of you pulling the reins backward. why are you even jumping this horse?
The pony was abused before she got him and the rearing was something he just did. In the description you will read info about things she has tried. Some horses need something to focus on tohelp like poles and jumping. I think she used it as a tactic to try and get him to focus, that's all. She isn't pulling hard considering she is riding in a D ring snaffle with a very weak action, she has tried bitless so its not even mouth pressure doing anything.
BlackMountain150 No you do not jump any horse, until the horse is confident in the basics. This was done the wrong way round. It was too much pressure all at once for that horse. Hence the constant rearing. Not the correct way to fix the issue. Irrelevant of the outcome.
Listen Up How is the outcome irrelevant? The pony came out fab and a real star of a pony. Every pony is different he obviously came out on the good side. Besides the fact just because a method is different doesn't mean it wont work, everything is learned by trial and error. Sometimes if a horse has something to focus on then they are able to work through their insecurities be it on the flat, hacking or jumping.
+BlackMountain150 The outcome is irrelevant because she risked herself, and her horse doing something that they were not ready for, and caused her horse months of unnecessary stress. If she had gone back to basic ground work this behaviour largely could have been avoided. Or corrected in a better way. The horse was pushed to jump and wear draw reins etc... when forward at walk was not even confirmed yet.
Rushing things is never ideal if the animal shows signs of not coping like this.
I would have started with work in hand with this fellow.
Like a breaker. In this case re-breaking to gain confidence and trust.
Btw... Just because something ends ok does not mean there can't be a better and faster way.
Listen Up I totally agree with you!
I wanted to cry when I watched this because of the infinite patience you had with him and the horse you could see within. He is a very blessed pony indeed to have ended up in your hands. What an awesome rider, too, thankfully. This was a joy to watch, though I was on the edge of my seat. :)
This is so inspiring! You're one of the most hard working and genuine riders I've seen on youtube. Keep up the amazing work!! xxxx
You are one amazing rider for sitting all of those bucks, rears, etc. Your pony is a really good jumper. Just keep moving forward and you will get better!💞
Maybe you should try to not jump for a while and it might help your horse relax a little🙂

So well done- you are a person who never gives up on your horse!
You can clearly she is not helping by yanking and pulling on his mouth. Also I half of them she is making him rear by kicking and pulling at the same time.
Mollie & Cookie Eventing I agree
Goodness. Read the description.
READ THE DAMN DESCRIPTION IDIOT! I'D LIKE TO SEE YOU RIDE THIS HORSE!!!
skydemon101 That doesn't matter! If she is not possible to ride this horse she shouldn't!
@@apattloch6700 you NEVER ridden her horse so you DON'T know what this horse does. She has a trainer to tell her what to do. She does NOT need any advise from anyone she has NEVER met before
You are an excellent rider and you never give up no matter what happens! You are truly amazing!
The leaping when jumping reminds me of Cara!
Ikr
These videos make me so emotional. It's wonderful and amazing to see how much you progressed with your horse
Try it with more ground work👍
Hola
What an incredibly patient, persistent young rider.... Weldone
Well done for having the patience with him and helping him work through his problems, so many knockers out there, bet they couldnt do any better, hope you have a GREAT friends hip with him now...and THANKYOU for not just laying into him with a whip like these knockers would...you did a GREAT job with him!!!!
wonderful story of determination and courage to keep going. Congratulations a gorgeous horse
I bet your horse just LOVES that constant bit pressure. pfft
+Laura Tapp - It doesn't matter how bad your horse is or was nor whether he was abused or not. Pulling on the bit like you are doing is going to amplify every negative response you get. If you can't tell that you are adding too much bit pressure, it's time to get a side pull.
+Laura Tapp is someone can't ride a horse because of different reasons, like scared. Start work with the horse on ground, make the horse trust you.
Don't put in a pain bit and yank around...
😒😔😐😑DUDE
+Victoria Vazquez 😑😒
my thoughts exactly. it is clear to see why the horse acted up and reared when it keeps getting yanked in the mouth.
This is so inspirational it really shows to never give up
great development of you both ! ... but please.. less Hands more dressage, i bet he will become such a well ridden horse then :)

I would also go crazy if my reins are too tight. Give him more space😤
Lena Haille ugh stop. Did you read the description?
READ THE DESCRIPTION
Read. The. Description!
These are only certain clips your seeing you don’t know how she holds the reins apart from these clips
Read the description
F**ck of
I have a horse like this, too. He was originally meant to be a pony for kids, but than go wild. I had seen his many talents and the causes because of which he was going wild, so I decided to buy him. People called me crazy, because he was not that afraid, but attacking humans, if he just get the chance and tried hard to get me of his back frequently. He was checked by a vet and everything, so I know he just was acting like this, because of the treatment he had get before I bought him. It is a hard and long way, with such horses and you never know, if they got as great, as you think or end up completely unrideable. People tend to forget the hard work and just see the failures you make, what makes it even harder. After one and a half year of working up the basics with my horse I changed the stable and now a lot of people are saying thinks like: "He is such a good boy!" "He is so talented!" "I can't believe, he would do ever something evil to you!" "He looks so happy!". The fact is, that he is not cured or something. Whenever something reminds him back, he will attack me or other people again, but he gets more and more patient with everything and that was my only goal from the beginning: a good and happy horse. So please keep on going with your work! Even if its hard.
Guys, if you would read the description you would have noticed she tried bitless and it didn't work. It's not the 'bit pressure'. some horses need extra contact. There's a gun of a pony that I ride at my riding school and whenever I'm jumping him he literally tries to gallop towards the jump.. No kidding, so I need to hold my contact quite short. Same with another horse I ride (Tank)💚
My_Bay_Jed When horses rush at a jump it means they are either poorly trained, or poorly ridden or scared.
It is never a sign of something good.
A well trained confident horse trusts its rider and will steady when asked.
There are loads of videos of how to fix or improve this problem. Perhaps watch some. Good luck.
+Listen Up those horses are not poorly trained nor scared. Roger is an Arab to start with, and he was abused in the past, he's a very forward horse anyway, especially in paddocks which is where we jump, since the beginners are in the arena. And Tank use to be used for endurance, so she's been taught to go fast. Everyone just laughs it off at my riding school since they know the horses are always like that.
My_Bay_Jed this is because she needed to spend more time ground working and i even bet her ground working was useless and confusing the poor horse!
My_Bay_Jed I stand by what i said... if the horse was taught to go fast and rush at a jump... it WAS poorly trained.
My_Bay_Jed I’ve been around Arabians my whole life and have owned my first one for 13 years, and it’s a big pet peeve of mine when people say “oh he/she is an Arab” as an excuse for something. The majority of the ones I’ve worked with are very willing to learn, and even if some do have a lot of energy there’s no reason they can’t be taught to contain it. In my experience, the breeds more commonly found in jumping like warmbloods and TBs can actually be WAY more explosive and high-energy than Arabs are.
You rode him so well. No one else would have stayed as calm as you. Your just an amazing rider.
The rider is delusional. This reeks of someone with a confirmation bias. But let's be real: the rider didn't fix her horse - and is lucky she wasn't seriously injured. But, she did well to stay on. So there's that.
Props to you this horse seemed impossible but you made her talent come through. You knew she had it and you let show. Truly amazing riding.
There are so many horrible comment can't u see how far she has come! Working on a horse like that is very hard she doesn't need all this hate she is making it better by not giving up and now he has turned into a nice pony!!!
They are horrible because they have did not read the description on his history
This is so amazing that you don’t give up because a lot of people give up when their horses don’t do what they say when I work with horses that I just make them do it because I know that they need to listen
she's pretty much asking him to rear by pulling on the reins so much..
Wow...You didn't give up and kept going...that takes resilience and determination so don't listen to the haters. I'd be thrilled if I could ride half as well as you can. You have come so far so well done ❤️
I think you ride really really well! But maybe you should use a little less of hand and less bit pressure. I think it migt help if you do a little dressage training before you jump. You can do neck stretching exercises with the horse for 10 minutes amd then start to jump. I did that with my horse and it really helped a lot☺
She doesn’t need you telling her
You are amazing! Loads of people would have tried to sell that horse after a month, or even put it down! You're such an inspiration, and you show that if you put your heart into something, never give up and just keep trying it will turn out good. ❤️👏
Therese
Someone wise once told me that every time you get on a horse you are either training him or untraining him.
If you can take a moment, decide if you really want to put in the work to move forward, then you will never regret
going back to basics: work him from the ground, Ask advice of someone you respect; ask them to teach you the effective
way to train a horse on a lunge line with poles placed on the ground to help him teach himself balance and rhythm.
There is too much going on right now. Give yourself a break. I promise you after a couple of weeks of ground work
with poles you'll have a calmer more trusting horse & you'll be able to trust him as well. You'll find out on your own that you
don't need martingales or running reins to. I wish you all the luck in the world and all the fun that comes from learning
with your horse
This video does not deserve hate comments. First of all your an amazing rider for sitting all of these reads and bucks. Obviously yes, sometimes your reins are too short and whatnot but your obviously doing your best and no ones perfect. It’s hard to know what to do in the exact moment of a buck and you rode them all very well. ;)
try a harder or softer bit maybe its that? i read the description relax. try a straight rubber one. my horse freaked the fuck out when i tried different bits and then i tried a straight rubber one and he was fine. much more relaxed. just a suggestion.
READ THE DESCRIPTION
ahahaha lol she literally said she read the description
Wow after reading the comments... girl, you two have made such a drastic improvement, and obviously what you did to get there together worked. You stuck with this horse and you've made a wonderful animal into a beautiful teammate. Also, hella props to you sticking through so many rears and buck and pigroots!! Ignore the neighsayers (heh pun), you've done your horse right and proud!!

These kinds of videos are honestly my favorite to watch! Great job!!
Maybe she should be working on getting him to bring his head down and to relax. There could be a very good reason why he's behaving this way, out in the poll, some form of discomfort. The running reins, and check, that are being used seem like a bit of a bandaid to me. He could seriously hurt his rider, and himself by continuing this behaviour. Well done to the rider for sticking it out, but maybe look for a cause and solution
You are amazing with your horse! You are an inspiration to me and so many other people in this world.
Wow nice job hun. I know I'm a bit late 😜 But for the sake of anyone in the future reading this: she did a very nice job learning to grab the neck when rearing, so good to see! And this is a perfectly fine horse and rider. The only thing they need to be wary of is to not teach the horse to rear in the future. You know, like those liberty insta girls 😒😛
hey this isnt hate, i beleive she did an AMAZING job with this horse!!(unlike all the haters) and i LOVEEE her videos, but somebody said that grabbing on to the neck when the horse rears is actually a bad habit and it teaches the horse to rear, is this true?i dont think though😃 have a nice night😊or day whenever you read this😂😊
+BLUE paws I guess for some horses that pressure might still encourage the rear, but it's better than holding onto the reins because then the horse will continue to rear until the rider falls off or the horse goes over backwards. Either of these would be a release of pressure and the horse would see it as a positive effect of rearing. I think ideally the rider should grab the mane, but the neck is still so much better than the bit. And it just so happens to be exactly midnight! Off to bed I go... 😉
+Freedom Rider thank you so much!😊
You are such an amazing. And with a Horse that has had a Horrid back round at so young you have done so well. And the Jumping clips of him at the end are so amazing to know that What he was doing before to jumping. If some people had a Horse like this they would sell them Straight away, but u have Been so strong with him and Had him come over his fear of Jumping is Good Horsemanship. I've been rider for 13yrs and have the same experience. U inspire me so Much Therese just keep Looking forwards. well done
Wie können Menschen sich nur so dumm anstellen und wie kann man so gemein mit einem Pferd umgehen ?
Pia Jaap sie geht nicht gemein mit ihm um. Das Pferd hat ein Problem das nicht von ihr kommt
Pia Jaap sie geht sogar sehr gut mit der Situation um. Sie bleibt drauf und schlägt oder tritt das Pferd nicht nach seinem „Fehlverhalten“. Die einzigen Personen, die da etwas falsch gemacht haben, sind die Trainer.
Pia, du hast absolut recht!! Das arme Pferd!! Da sollte jemand lernen ein Pferd zu lesen und nicht ihm Schmerzen zuzufügen !!!
Unfassbar wieviele ahnungslose Menschen dieses Verhalten auch noch loben... smh
I love this just because a horse is difficult doesn't mean he is a runt and he shouldn't do something it just means you have to work with him gain his trust read him and make it work. i fully stand behind you for working through the horses kinks because its clear you love him to mutch to just give up on him.
Not crazy..just a very interesting ride :)
Yep 😂😂
i have just got a new horse and the beginning of this video is me and him at the minute and i just wanted to give up but then i came across this video and now i am really excited for what our future brings after seeing yours!!!
sry, aber das Pferd tut mir leid
MCF.TV Mir auch
You are amazing! It's great that you have managed to help your horse and that they are well behaved now. We need more people in the world like you. Great job I hope you guys are happy. 😍💜😘👌🏼👏🏻👍🏼🐴🎉🎊🎈
I don't get why you expect to see nice comments here... If you really did have a heart for your poor horses you would be able to understand that you've ripped the horse's mouth everytime you rode him with putting that much pressure with your bit and pulling on those reins. Smh and all those people saying you were an inspiration, what is wrong with you people. That's not how you treat your horses! Wake up! Because one day you're gonna do these things to the wrong horse and you will suffer the consequences, as usual, blaming the horse.
READ THE FUCKING DESCRIPTION! I WOULD LIKE TO SEE YOU RIDE THIS HORSE!!!!
There's clips where the horse does the same movements, while riding in just a halter 1:50 :I
Apparently you cant read the desc. She had already tries bitless, and different styles of bits. She did not in ANY way abuse the horse. Her horse was young, and hyper. You obviously don't have any real equestrian knowledge.
What a beautiful horse!♡How could anyone hurt such magnificent creatures? When our dogs whine wanting out, even that is enough to make my hart just shatter. It's a shame that some animals go their whole life not knowing what a soft touch is, what a full stomach feels like, or even what the outside world looks like...🐎🏇
In my experience, the more you try to hold a horse back, the more they act out. If it were me, I'd trash the flash, martingales, and other restrictive devices and teach him to obey through trust and partnership rather than through force. The more comfortable he is, the less likely he is to try to escape from the situation.
You've stuck with your horse through some really hard times, and you're a great rider.... I felt inspired after watching this video.... and the song you've put to it is amazing. I've never heard it before, and I'm going through a few things atm.... it really hit a chord with me.
wow 😍😍 so many people are giving u hate but this was not ur fault! ur amazing! ur horse had issues and u never gave up and ur an amazing rider and equestrian! i know what it can be like to have to go through this with a horse and i know how hard it can get to not give up. GREAT job! keep on riding!
Thank you so much! Finally! I hate these people that are hating. I bet that in Therese's situation they would have done the exact same thing they were hating on her for and then fallen and given up on the horse and accomplish nothing at all.
Samantha Galipeau I completely agree. I want to try putting THEM on this pony and see how they get on. I admire Therese and all the work she does with her horses ❤️
I bet lots of people that can ride could handle this horse and fix its problems rather than making them worse
READ THE DESCRIPTION HATER
Morgin House stop blaming the godamn animal. If the horse does have issues why is she jumping it let alone riding
Wow... your determination is breath taking!! I would’ve probably never ridden this horse again after the first rear! I’m very impressed with your riding skills and your horse will be absolutely amazing if it isn’t already
...........😢😭
I like how you didn't give up.❤
Was there two horses? And ppl! Leave her alone! If u don't like the video then don't watch it!
You go girl.you are one lucky person to have such talent and experience to make a deference in horses and even inspire some people.great work!!😊
She needed to let that horse run out and stop pulling on the reins and do flat a couple times a week.
READ THE DESCRIPTION
I bought a green-broke Mo. Foxtrot term when I was 16. He was scared of everything and reared constantly, not out of meanest but fear. We became best friends and he became the best trail horse you would ever want! RIP Sam.
What is the name of that song?
Hedley - Perfect :)
my lease pony started like this but thanks to you i havent given up and hes turned azing i look up to you so much ❤❤
whats the song?
Just read the description and watched the video to the end. Well done all concerned! So many people would have given up on that pony and left it to be passed from pillar to post and, quite likely, drugged in order to sell. You have a solid friend for life there, and you certainly deserve one. But please don't ever sell him on because chances are all those problems will return with a different owner. His confidence and trust comes from you, his mum. x
You are pulling so hard on the bit!
GREAT JOB!! It was probably hard work and effort most ppl would have just given up on it so thank you for not being one of those ppl and seeing the horse as a winner!❤️❤️❤️
