I love how you added western riding into it! I've seen a lot of these videos and most of them are just english! I love the way the music clashes with the video aswell!
I think western is cool but it is only a US thing and isn't in the Olympics so it is less popular around the world so that may be why not everyone includes it
" A horse is a partner that will walk through fire for you , but it is not a partner if you are scarier than the fire." We love our horses , IT IS A NOT JUST A SPORT , IT IS A LIFE TIME PASSION.
"Do not trust a horse trained by fear, for there is always something he will fear more than you. However, if a horse trusts you, he will ask you what to do when he is afraid."
Yes...u see that horse in my profile picture...that stallion could have been the story to the end of me. I got back on and was still accused of doing something that isn’t a sport. It’s IS a sport. My DAD still says it’s not a sport. Don’t give up.
I just started equestrian riding I rode English and I don’t compete but I have a higher risk of having a detacthed retina if I fall but I feel since I don’t compete fingers crossed I don’t fall I love riding my horse I always feel like I’m flying
This is exactly why I want to ride horses (Not for the death btw!) It’s incredible, to have an animal that could so easily kill you become your friend, who you trust and who trusts you. There’s an enormous amount of effort put into being an equestrian, but in my opinion it’s worth it (and my opinion probably doesn’t amount to much because as of yet I have sat on a horse ONCE 😅) Keep doing what you love equestrians, and I hope one day to join you
THIS IS GREAT!!! You become a better rider when you fall because you learn you MISTAKES! Show this to the hater us equestrian do way more work than other people do!
This video makes me shiver every time😂 seriously though I've been riding for 10 years and IT IS NOT EASY WE RISK OUR LIVES FOR OUR SPORT if you fall,you get right back up we are the definition of TOUGH
This week was my equestrian camp. We all took part even though we knew the risk. We were galloping the horses. My horse takes a very sharp turn and I’m not prepared. I slide I fall and I now have a big graze on my hip. We know the risk but we don’t let fear become stronger than confidence and passion. Our scars make us stronger and our confidence drives us forward. We are Equestrians! 🤩🏇🐎 (Been sitting in my bed hurting for two days)
Erm are you insulting me? Everyone falls of horses, no one is perfect. Don’t just assume I or anyone is a bad rider. You may have more experience than me, you may have less, who knows. But I assure you, I wouldn’t be in all the top or second to top classes if I was a bad rider. ☹️
I know I'm 2 ys late but to those equestrians who face people saying it's not a sport don't listen to them they just think that because they see the easy side of it they don't see the hours of pain and dedication that goes through it. They don't see the falls and how we just get back up and keep going we are all behind you ❤
People have kept saying "its not a sport" and that "its easy" to me, but watching this really helps me know that they just are underestimating me because they don't do equestrian.
I haven't ridden in a few years because of a riding accident I had where my horse, Alexander spooked before a jump, tripped, and fell on top of me. Horseback riding truly takes grit and isn't easy!!
Love this we do this cus we love our horses and we feel like we are nothing without our horse and when people say this isn’t a sport I think in my mind they are just scared of this sport
As an equestrian, I commonly find these videos cringe or try-hard. They are usually full of bad editing and BASIC grammar mistakes that subtract from the viewer's attention and the overall quality of the video, not this one. I am very pleased to say this one gave me chills, especially at 0:42 and that jump, and 0:50 . Good Job!
Thank you for your comment, it made my day! I ride as well, and I feel very passionate about my sport, so I want to create the best videos for y’all as I can! Thank you for watching!
This is so true as a equestrian myself I have been told to find a new sport or the horse is doing all the work. In riding you have to remember all these Cues and still risk your life
I’m always the person that comments things like months if not years later, but I still wanna say I LOVE THIS VIDEO! I literally can’t stop watching it. It is so well edited. And this is so true. I also like how you added western in this as well.
Thank you so much for adding several equestrian disciplines, it makes me so happy when I see great videos like this one that don't leave out disciplines!❤️❤️
One thing is that we don't ever let fear overcome us equines because I've always known the risk of riding but I've been living my dream my whole life and I know the danger of it but I don't let fear control me :)
Oh yeah, Its so hard when people tell me horse riding isnt hard. I feel like dying. My insides melt. Like Have they ever... Felt the pain of riding. I cant ignore it, bc its so HARD. I listen to xxtesticle everytime, someone tells me that horseriding isnt a sport
This is so true! People say its easy and I should just quit but if they saw my scars my horses throwing me off they would turn back and say sorry no sorry ain't enough u said it so deal with its, as an equestrian at the age of 14 I know I'm putting my life at risk and I'm like I don't care I get my happiness and joy outta it ty for making this video
I luv this message❤ this is honestly the best version I have ever seen. I loved “in volleyball 1 mistake risks 2 points but one mistake in riding risks 2 lives” this has rlly inspired me to create my own but I wanted to ask if I could use something similar to that message it’s ok if not! ❤😊
Ty for this my freinds at school as leo a as y it's easy and it can't be hard so when I showed them this i think they really had a second thought. About it 😂 tysm for this it has really helped
I've never fallen off a horse but I am an equestrian... Even though I know that its not easy and you don't just sit their. We are the brain telling the horse what to do and the horse is the body doing the work ... So either way without one another, riding just wouldn't work . ( i've never even jumped 😅 ) but I do know this stuff
Thank you for this. people think we are weird for what we do and i feel like saying to them have you ever fallen 10ft from the ground or jumped something bigger than you on a creature who can kill you.
I hate people who say being an eqestrain is easy, but htey dont understand that every time we get on the horse, we trust that horse and we risk our lives for something we love.
When someone says that horse back isn’t a sport cause all you do is sit there, every atom in my body wants to put them on my horse and tell them to jump a 3’ course and once (or if if they’re lucky) they fall off I’d say “why’d you fall of? The horse does all the work, All you have to do is sit there. Stay strong riders 😊
This is 100 % accurate. I rode horses before and I might do it this weekend but believe me, I had horses that are pretty hard to control! Btw, the horses weren’t mine. I was just on a 1 hour trail ride and yes, horse riding may seem easy, but it’s not. Get on a horse and try it if u disagree.
To people that loose confidence when you fall off, It only makes you a better rider because you have learnt what mistake you have made. You need to brush it off and get back on and try again. Unless you have broken something then u should probs go to A&E.
@@pastel_sso6958i would do the same to be honest. I would get back on to even just for a few seconds so i dont lose my confidence. Thats what my mum did by mistake. She fell of with a buck an she didn’t get back on and now she is to scared to get on a horse now. But she wants to overcome it
We are not riding bikes over sloped hills called jumps. We are riding huge, living, breathing animals with thoughts of their own over vertical jumps that can be taller than us, we are doing this in a few minutes, but each second is a risk to our life. We gallop a horse toward a barrel, we then proceed to get close enough to touch that barrel while we guide our horse around it, we do 3 barrels in less than 20 seconds. We need to bond with an animal that could kill us, all we have to aid us is our voice, our body, sometimes a whip and/or spurs for correction and clarification. The horse has a mind, each horse is different, you could have a perfect ride one day but have a terrible accident the next. Riding a horse is 10x harder than riding a bike. We can’t just sit there, in fact in a lot of sports you do less mentally. You do not have to think about every stride, you don’t have to look at the path ahead and think, should I ask my horse to extend, collect, is it a good distance, is there enough energy, is there enough time to adjust anything, how much leg do I need, is this fence too high, what if we get to close or go from too far and my horse gets injured. If we crash, there are two lives on the line. That is why horse riding is just as much about the rider as it the horse, it cannot be compared to any other sport. Horses are not machines even though together we make it look easy, it just means we are doing our jobs. This was just a rant and the video was amazing. Too many people overlook riding as a sport. We have to do more in 1 ride than most of them do in season.
I just had a fall on my trail ride today I was so embarrassed and one of the girls said “oMg tHaT LOoKED EaSy TO rIDE” and this made me feel so much better
"Horse riding is a sports!" Its harder than anyone thinks... It takes strength. These horse have there own brain they can kill us or hurt is severely. Has anyone who isn't a equestrian even riden a horse or had that unbreakable bond? Have you ever fallen off a horses?!? Horse are amazing creaturers and they can be your best friend only if you become someone who will understand them feed them and take care of them. I have seen many horse uncared for and it was a very sad sight. So you see horse riding is extremely diffecalt
don't mind me saving this so I can show it to the next person who tells me riding isn't a sport. But also I think most people do a trail ride on a lead rope walking the whole time and that is what makes them say that, then they say yeah I have ridden and its sooooooo easy. -they dont get it

Yes! I agree

" A horse is a partner that will walk through fire for you , but it is not a partner if you are scarier than the fire." We love our horses , IT IS A NOT JUST A SPORT , IT IS A LIFE TIME PASSION.
To a true horse person, our horse is our LIFE. It comes 1st. 24/7
"Do not trust a horse trained by fear, for there is always something he will fear more than you. However, if a horse trusts you, he will ask you what to do when he is afraid."
I feel bad for laughing at "We fall too!" How i imagined the voice saying it was so petty xD
I laughed cause I like to think we're able to make jokes still about our sport because we aren't insecure like some other athletes
I laughed because it said "you don't just sit their, you fall too" I was expecting more lol
Yes...u see that horse in my profile picture...that stallion could have been the story to the end of me. I got back on and was still accused of doing something that isn’t a sport. It’s IS a sport. My DAD still says it’s not a sport. Don’t give up.
OMG SO AMAZING. IT LITERALLY GAVE ME CHILLS. THIS IS SO TRUE. PEOPLE UNDERESTIMATE US!
Yes i know!
I just started equestrian riding I rode English and I don’t compete but I have a higher risk of having a detacthed retina if I fall but I feel since I don’t compete fingers crossed I don’t fall I love riding my horse I always feel like I’m flying
YES
To that I was embarrassed not being able to jump after 8 yrs of riding starting at the age of two
No u all do nothing just sit there
This is exactly why I want to ride horses
(Not for the death btw!)

I have learned to trust my horse with my life for one reason, I love her.
Thank you for including the western side of horse riding which is usually forgotten in these videos❤️
Of course! Western riders are equestrians too!

i love these vids i watch them when i am not at the farm
NO JOKE THIS MADE ME CRY!
Im riding irl and i understand how hard it is cos riding these creatures is risking ur own life.
Yeah, we do a lot more than just sit there. But if we look like we're just sitting there while riding, then that means we're good riders.
Exactly! It's a compliment :)
And the horse does all the work
I’ve galloped across the moors in Wales, the best high EVER.
