Incredible seat and hands… bravo 👏👏👏

Wow amazing seat great balance looks very comfortable in dealing with a fresh horse some great riding

Very well sat. Superb horsemanship.

It frustrates me so fully that random commenters decide from a minute long video that they know your horse, why it's acting like that, and that you're so clearly horrible. This horse is so obviously fresh and excitable, but very well cared for as you've explained. I hope your gorgeous horse is doing well ❤

What a lovely mare! Well done!

Great rider 👍

The rider looks so comfy 😂 😮 It's really impressive

What a great interview, well done, thanks so much to both of you.

And I would like to see how good he does on Virgil, or The Black Tie………horses that are born to buck! 😊 Personally, I would say this horse is just doing a little crow hop!

Stunning horse!!! Love the training hedge!

Growing up, I was told that the horses who are the best jumpers have the biggest bucks! As everyone is saying, excellent seat... Very impressive! Wishing you and Donald the best!

well. He certainly healed up nicely. lol

Awesome rider but how do you get the horse to stop doing this?! I hate it when my OTTB does this because I'd like to be able put beginners on him.

Nice Fred! You're such a brilliant horseman.

Only complaint I have is all the crap in the arena. Once it was obvious the horse was a bit worked up, the rider should have stopped and removed anything that could hurt the horse or himself if either fell.

Look at his gear and how the horses head is

Your seat is brilliant! 🔥 Maybe the saddle to much forward.

poor guy! why was he on box rest so long?? only hand walking or what? what kind of turnout does it get

Wow, you must have super glue on the seat of your pants. Very impressed!

Get off and do the ground work that should have been done.

Ride em cowboy Scala.. V Impressive !

beautiful.. effortless and very ridable comes back to the rider nicely!

That guy can ride!!! Amazing balance and poise. His body never even moved…well done!!!!

............okay but did you lunge it.. or was it not allowed to be lunged? im asking the comments because im dumb lol not to judge you. nice seat btw DANG I couldve used a seat like that a few times XD

Nearly perfect riding and what beauty of a horse

Wow

did he do any groundwork with the horse before saddling the horse? Is it a good idea to directly go back to saddle with this bucking horse before doing sufficient ground work?

He was pulling so hard poor horse

Want a really good seat ride Bareback alot. I rode bareback alot of basically nothing can make me fall out the saddle. I stay glued to the saddle. Even when my horse was doing little rears and Napping and running forward i never moved and that was bareback

I think you handled that amazingly! Eventers seem to always have the best stickability

I love this ride .. this horse is so happy to be out and the rider is perfect . 💕

I love that you’re taking your time with him! Too many people rush their young horses. I have a very athletic, talented 3 year old I’m bringing along (slowly), so this has been very educational, thank you for sharing. I also really loved the way you so tactfully handled his freshness and didn’t make a big deal of it.

I need to learn how to sit a horse from this guy.

She is overbent. And for only being 5 years old that is too much. She is not engaged enough in her haunches and lifting her back to be that bent. This is incorrect and incomplete training.

That is a big chap. What is the breeding?

The horse is like get off my back human asshole! Humans are so arrogant. Their assumption is animals are theirs to force to do anything they want. This was no willing partnership, that’s for sure.

This was a really interesting video and what a super horse x.

obviously a sensitive soul with bags of scope. He's going to be one of those that always likes a buck and a bounce.

Love this! Thank you for sharing

What an expressive and joyful horse. And well sat by the way.

For anyone that enjoyed this video, you can see this stallion’s progress in the arena here kzbin.info/www/bejne/iHOqeaybhtVpmpIsi=TDj6cAAiQKnobQEY

I love how you teach them confidence and enable them to enjoy their job - also wait until he's 4 to begin jumping - beautiful horse and ride!!

Thanks for this Fred. That's a lovely stallion you have there! 😊 xOx

Love this!Thanks for sharing.And I’m so glad to see a pro out of breath after a course, It is work!

Really educational video! I’d love to see more of these!

I just subbed beautiful horse

He/she made that look easy!! 😍

He's beautiful! So well balanced already ❤

I love how calmly you handled that, exactly how youngsters should be introduced to new scary things ❤👏

Cool horse😊
