      actually the bucks were so it could stretch it's legs (near the hoof) from the high jumps.

      It looked to me like he kicked up at some moments when he was on the wrong lead, the issue was needing to get onto the right canter lead to be balanced

    To the IDIOTS that say the horse is in pain, I say learn to ride. My daughter had a little pony of 13.2 hh, we backed, schooled and bought him on, he loved to jump, and would always buck after the first fence, I swear he knew when he'd gone clear, as when he did he did two huge bucks after the last fence, but never bucked if he had a fence down! The horse in this film is enjoying himself.

  • @delaneyrichardson
    @delaneyrichardson 9 років тому +77

    A lot of horses buck through lead changes, especially jumpers because the fast pace and high jumps get them excited. If you notice, the only times the horse bucks are when he's doing a lead change.

      +Samantha Liew Lead change is where they leap from the leading canter leg to the other. its a lot like a flying change except you only do it once rather than one after another. :)

    • @chrisclarke754
      @chrisclarke754 8 років тому +2

      Yeah, because he doesn't want to switch his hind lead. Looked like the only times he was actually using his hind end was for taking off for those massive jumps. Very impressive round though

    • @chrisclarke754
      @chrisclarke754 8 років тому +3

      It is a flying change if you change lead while maintaining the canter. You're thinking of tempi changes in dressage

    • @lexifeldmann5353
      @lexifeldmann5353 8 років тому +1

      I'm not a jumper but my mare does give me trouble sometimes switching leads. She doesn't buck per say...but she gets choppy and stubborn. She also gallops off lead which i don't like. it makes galloping on trails and roads a little scary.

    Watch his ears. The ears are the key to a horse's emotions. They are pricked the entire way. The rider never had to use a crop, and the horse was fighting to get more speed at every jump. ( The head nod thing was the horse trying to get control of the bit)

    • @KyloTb
      @KyloTb 3 роки тому +7

      I completely agree but just because it's funny I have to tell you about my mare who LOVES the hunter and jumper rings and loves jumping more than anything and she still puts her ears back because she just wants to listen to every word I say, she isn't voice taught she is jump very clever lol

    The bucking was leg changes btw, all the showjumpers do it. Amazing, it's easy for us to sit there and just go "he could have ridden it better" but I could not do that, and I doubt many people watching this could either. :)

      The guy didn't do anything. The poor exhausted horse did. Wonder how much abuse the horse had to endure to get to that point. I don't see all the horses kicking out, only some. I have horses and am good friends with a racetrack vet. I know how most racehorses end up with leg problems. I can only imagine these guys. Heavy riders, landing hard on fragile front legs and banging the hell out of back legs on post when they miss. Yeah you people know what you're talking about alright. Meds keep them going though

    • @bellasue02

    If the horse had a problem with the back or was stiff in any area it would never have been able to cover a course like that in the way it did. Saying otherwise is talking a good sword fight without ever having picked up a sword.

      when a horse is in pain in its legs it is lame and therefore is unbalanced, ears back, limps, ...
      not kicks its leg up into the air which would only cause it more pain because it comes down harder

      I get a kick out of peoples' responses on this subject how some jumpers kick out after being 'Q'd' especially after the last jump, none of these animals are in pain, its just a response from being key'd up, excitment, and yes, some horses love to jump! They must have the talent, drive and emotional balance to achieve such, the rider has to have the same;)

  • @tsarasherif
    @tsarasherif 9 років тому +11

    This horse is not being abused... HOWEVER, he is not being given enough reins to extend his neck over the jumps, and you can clearly see the struggle where the rider is pulling and the horse is pulling away. Not giving enough reins over the jumps mean the jump gets shorter and more stiff intsead of the typical "fly over the jump" that is usually seen. To avoid the pulling and pulling back, this horse simply needs more ground work and dressage.

      To some extent, I agree with you, but let's look at this course from the horses point of view. He must successfully navigate what must surely be described as very intense obstacles. The rider could have loosened up a bit, but this may have had the opposite effect. Of course, I am basing this on watching the video from afar and not up close and personal. Just my 2 cents........🎩

    For a marvellous bucking jumping horse, look for videos of Libero H with Jos Lansink! Libero's nickname was "Volvo-collector", as he won several World Cup tournaments in which the first prize (besides a lot of money) was a Volvo car. Libero often bucked right after the hurdle, so if Jos changed directions right after landing, a lead change might have been the cause in his case also, but having watched Libero H in his sporting years so many times, I conclude that he just liked bucking. He was a stallion at that time too, used for breeding, which might have added to his playfulness. His "children" are amazing as well. Libero H was a great ambassador for the Dutch Sport Horses.

    • @phapnui
      @phapnui 8 років тому

      I was wondering why the kick on this horse, always the rear right.

    • @animalsareawesome3554
      @animalsareawesome3554 8 років тому

      Delaney Richardson noticed it almost correctly 11 months ago, but not entirely, because this French horse isn't bucking, but kicking at the rider's right leg. (For a real bucking horse in a showjumping course, look for the Dutch stallion Libero H, as I wrote earlier). The French horse in this video is clearly more comfortable in the left lead gallop. He sometimes only changes to right lead with his front legs, but not his hind legs. For the rider this is very uncomfortable and the "steering" less accurate, so the rider wants to change the hind legs to right as well. He comes in with his right leg and the horse reacts by kicking towards the riders spur, but follows the "change!" command, as you can see after the kick. For right turns you need a right lead canter. I've seen this happen with a Frisian stallion who really had a bad canter and a very strong preference for the left lead side too. Getting him to canter in the right lead made him kick at the riders leg as well, even if the rider wanted to go into canter from a trot. Groundwork in the circle eventually solved this problem. Like humans and dogs, horses also have a stronger developed left or right hand side.

  • @helenherman7893
    @helenherman7893 10 років тому +5

    the reason the horse is kicking out is to get its lead change. Some horse have a difficulty with changing leads and kick out to get them. No harm in that.

  • @Gabihorse
    @Gabihorse 10 років тому +1

    well, this is an wonderful course, and as some people is having a little fight because of what's happening with the horse, I think that as this was about age XX, the equine traditions changed, that means the way of taking care of a horse, wasn't better than today and no longer worst, we can say everything but this horse did an amazing work. Even not knowing "what?" or "why". I respect the others point of vision, by both sides.

  • @charleejcapron1155
    @charleejcapron1155 9 років тому +5

    Jumpers and most other horses are athletes, in my opinion training them and utilizing them as working animals is more humane. The way animals work in general they want/need a job to do, or else they will become unhappy. Yes they can't always tell us when something is wrong and mistakes can be made, but you can see the remarkable amount of trust the horse has for his rider. The course is obviously difficult and the horse wouldn't respond so well to the rider if they didn't have a good positive relationship. Also none of you people commenting accusing of abuse right off of the bat have any room to talk negatively or to even say the horrible accusations you make. If you aren't the owner of the horse, or the vet who was on site or the vet who sees the horse I honestly don't think you have room to talk. You have no way of knowing for sure. I have owned horses, but I can more easily compare this situation to my dog. She is a complete working dog, hates being clean, spoiled, and even hates being inside. when she is she just wines all the time. She LOVES having a job to do. we do sheep dog trials and agility. The whole time she is running the course she barks at me, and it is because she is so pumped up and excited and she just wants to go, not have to wait for my cues, and even on another note, my dog who I have hand raised since a puppy NEVER had a bad experience with men, but she doesn't like them I cannot explain why, some animals are just different. They are all individuals and have distinct personalities. Just like humans horses/dogs other animals express themselves even the most highly trained ones. This horse is obviously not in pain or defiant not only do the owners and trainers and riders spoil these horses, they love them, and even the snobby greedy ones aren't going to put their entire livelihood and pretty much their source of income on the line. These people aren't stupid they have far more experience than most of you who are commenting. If you know anything about animals and especially working animals they LOVE to work. That is what they are built to do naturally. Yes there will always be mistakes and accidents, but no one purposely tries to hurt the animal or themselves. So just honestly enjoy the video and stop with all the sore criticism.

    • @warriormaiden9829
      @warriormaiden9829 3 роки тому

      I met a horse that was used for vaulting. Beautiful draft cross, very obviously loved what he did, and loved the girls that competed on him. His first job was a Jousting mount. He HATED it. The owner competed only twice on him (to make sure that he truly hated it and it wasn't equipment/rider problems), and then found him a new home where he could enjoy himself. The first owner still checks in on him occasionally, and is incredibly happy that the horse is happy with life and his new 'job'. Animals of many kinds will tell you whether they are happy with what they do or not. It's up to us to learn their 'language'.

      @nicolestringer8135 8 років тому

      exactly in my book this is horse abuse,how the owner is pulling back on the horses mouth causing thw bit to send pain threw the sensitive horses mouth and causing him to pull his head up trying to pull away from the pain,and the huge jumps at least 4ft or more carrying a 100+ Pound rider and 8f the horse was lucky enough he was cooled correctly and not watered more then 5 and a half cups of water

    • @Horselover-zp8wh
      @Horselover-zp8wh 8 років тому +2

      Well, show jumping is a delicate balance between getting a good time by going fast but also not rushing the jumps so that you can get the correct striding. To get over those huge jumps, the rider needs to make sure the horse will somewhat conserve his energy, and during the approach to the jump the rider needs to lift the horses head and put more weight onto the haunches. The pulling back that the rider was doing didn't seem to be excessive. And the horse probably got enough water- to get that far in jumpers you need to take care of the horse properly, and the horse looked like he was doing well. Just because you think the rider is a "bad rider" doesn't mean he or she doesn't know how to properly take care of their horse.

    Everyone saying the bucks are to change lead, or the horse is doing it because he is changing his leads, you need to really go back and watch. The horse never bucked when changing his leads, he was either on a straight away or turning on the same lead. He could buck because the rider is causing him pain, the saddle, his joints hurt, or he is just aggrovated from doing something he isn't full okay with, it hard to tell. And before anyone says 'you can't make a horse do something they don't want to" yes you can! People do it all the time, but horses are experts at adapting to their environment. They learn to do what is asked weather they want to or not for survival. Now some horses are exceptions to this, but for the most part it is universal in horses.

      I didn't say he was sore. I said he could have been. He could have just been having an off day. And horse will do what they need to to avoid pressure (I.e. Yank from the bit, spanked with a whip, soured, etc)

    • @tayloryounder9821

    • @nightraventribe998
      @nightraventribe998 9 років тому +9

      Un buon binomio certo nn lo crei in un ora..
      Per nn parlare del fato che cavalli di questo livello sono molto difficili da montare...

  • @chaospixie2319
    @chaospixie2319 10 років тому +3

    I don't see pain here, I see a horse that's typical for the show ring. Not once that entire course did his ears come forward. He's sour to the whole thing and though he'll do it he rushes the jumps like nobody's business and the 'bucking' is all part of his 'I'm not happy' show. If there was pain and it was bad enough to elicit a reaction it wouldn't have been to kick out with just a single leg, not always the same leg and he would have given a refusal somewhere. Nice round no doubt but it looked careless to me.

  • @emmawilliams2049
    @emmawilliams2049 10 років тому +1

    that horse was not in pain, as many have suggested. Instead, it is a very fashionable way of jumping and that horse has some amazing talent and scope and would have refused to be ridden if it was. So to all you saying he was in pain, don't be stupid, the horse would have chucked him off, let alone bucked gently.

      Jamie Maguire You make me smile. Indeed, I agree. That horse was in tip top shape E. Deanna, giving 3 crowhops (mini bucks) while going around the course he was in such high spirits and enjoying himself so much. Some horses love to jump and thrive on the competition, the crowd, the challenge. This one clearly loves his job and works as a team with his rider. That was quite a daunting course but well handled by both horse and rider.

  • @MCHorse139
    @MCHorse139 10 років тому +1

    You can tell the horse was changing its hind leg in the lead change. Many horses do that (don't ask me why!). So the majority of the bucks must have been because of the flying lead change. And I am not the horse whisperer, but that horse seemed like it was enjoying the round. Obviously, there were some mistakes that could be corrected, but no one is the perfect rider! Even professionals have plenty to learn. If the horse was in pain, they wouldn't have let him compete. The rider would not risk his career and the horse's, there are many more competitions to attend. If the horse truly was in pain, then it wasn't a smart move since he could have had a horrible round, probably ending up in both rider and horse getting hurt. The thing is, we don't know. We are not the rider, we are not the horse (obviously) and we aren't related to either in any way. It is okay to give your opinion, that's why there is a comment section, but there is no need to insult others simply because someone thinks they're wrong. Sorry to drop here another comment about the subject, but after seeing so many people being upset about the horse, I had to intervene. :)

    • @karina4everliving
      @karina4everliving 10 років тому

      that was the first thing that came on my mind, changed the hind leg...maybe the horse realised he is not obligated to keep the move just the way he arrived at land after a jump...now he got the power to arrive in one way and change it quicly to be just like he wants to the next obstacle...

  • @MinockerSpanichle
    @MinockerSpanichle 11 років тому

    A rule of thumb is that any obstacle 3ft high and over requires considerable skill and work from the horse and rider. Horses, interestingly, tolerate more work (lactic acid build up) than human athletes, and so can run a course like this but need a lot of preparation and recovery afterward. Horses in top athletic sports have "seasons" because they cannot be kept at peak fitness year-round, they need a time where they chill out in pastures. So, done right, it's not overwhelming on the body.

  • @MelanieArabskyLedger
    @MelanieArabskyLedger 10 років тому +1

    For those who feel sorry for the horse and how the "abuse of competition" has harmed him so much... He was born in 1990, was already the French nation Showjumping champion by age 5 and competed at an elite level (couses such as those in the video) until 2005. He remains at stud today. So he competed at a world class level until age 15, and now at age 23 remains at stud - now how exactly was this horse so ruined?

  • @siamtassin2085
    @siamtassin2085 10 років тому

    Well.. As an owner who regularly practise jumping I know some horses are used to give kick in the airs when they change their feets. I mean, when they gallop on a circle they use the foot on the inside of the circle, but if you change the circle's direction they have to change the foot they're using. So : some horses do this very well, and you don't even notice it (it's the case here), but sometimes they need to do that kind of weird kick to help themselves changing.. I'm not sure it's the case of this one but it might be.
    Another thing said that there's two kind of horses : the one that will always make 4pts of penality, however he's really courageous, he'll bring you everywhere you want, there's no fear of obstacles. And there's the others, they've the fear of obstacles because they know it would be painfull to hurt. So they usually don't do any points of penality but they are jumping because of that fear, not because of they're courageous. Hope that could have been helpfull

    There were a bunch of flying lead changes, but none if those ever looked like bucks, and never should. The horse could have been in pain, but I doubt that being this guy seems to have a great bond with his horse. The horse could have just been feeling better than normal, and a lot of horses buck like that when they feel like they are playing, including mine. I hope this helped with some confusion!! :)

  • @christinadelvescovo4924
    @christinadelvescovo4924 11 років тому

    You are absolutely correct. Using a crop is to be used for an additional aid and/or to correct behavior. There are some horses out there who just don't want to do what you ask, I've worked with some pretty sassy horses and that is when you get the crop out. I like how you say once you lose your cool you lose the battle, I couldn't agree with you more. :)

    a horse in "that much pain" would not have jumped such a clean round. if the horse were truly bothered, the rider would not have stayed on it nor would it have gone over those jumps. horses at that level of competition are worth exorbitant amounts of money, and the owners who benefit from the horse winning would not let it injure itself and risk that source of their income. you don't just let a lamborghini rust and blow it's engine out; you take care of it. this horse most likely gets regular checkups from the vet, undergoes equine massage therapy as part of it's weekly routine, and gets the best of the best.

    I'm scrolling down and seeing comments like "he loves it, if he didn't love it; it wouldnt have jumped so high!" He probably would if you were making him. Obviously this horse isn't beiging forced, what I'm saying is that horses can be forced to do something they absolutley do not want to do. Most horses do what they can to avoid pain. What would you rather do: jump the obstacle or get smacked on the ass and punished? I am _NOT_ saying that this horse is being mistreated, neither am I saying that the rider is bad.
    You could probably make a horse jump one of those obstacles with time,confidence building and a strong bond, wich is not the easy or the fast way, but in my opinion the best. And with this I mean no whips, no thight reins all the time, no spurs, etc.

  • @animalsareawesome3554
    @animalsareawesome3554 8 років тому

    Delaney Richardson noticed it almost correctly 11 months ago, but not entirely, because this French horse isn't bucking, but kicking at the rider's right leg. (For a real bucking horse in a showjumping course, look for the Dutch stallion Libero H, as I wrote earlier). The French horse in this video is clearly more comfortable in the left lead gallop. He sometimes only changes to right lead with his front legs, but not his hind legs. For the rider this is very uncomfortable and the "steering" less accurate, so the rider wants to change the hind legs to right as well. He comes in with his right leg and the horse reacts by kicking towards the riders spur, but follows the "change!" command, as you can see after the kick. For right turns you need a right lead canter. I've seen this happen with a Frisian stallion who really had a bad canter and a very strong preference for the left lead side too. Getting him to canter in the right lead made him kick at the riders leg as well, even if the rider wanted to go into canter from a trot. Groundwork in the circle eventually solved this problem. Like humans and dogs, horses also have a stronger developed left or right hand side.

  • @CanadianWeaselARMY
    @CanadianWeaselARMY 15 років тому

    Kinda yes. Changing the lead is something the rider asks for, unless the horse does it naturally. But when a horse is "desuni", he is cantering in 4 beats instead of 3. The gallop is a disunited canter, but it is only used on the race tracks. Soo yeah, this horse had to buck with one hind leg in order to skip a beat, so that the hind leg will touch the ground at the same time as the diagonally opposite foreleg.. It's a flying change with the hindlegs instead of the forelegs.
    Hope it's clear :)
