Horses do the work.

It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat. Theodore Roosevelt

I love this people always tell me all you do is sit on a pony they jump the jump for you but horse back riding is way more we make bonds with our ponies and we could loss them in a heartbeat horse mean so much to me. Also after we ride our horse we have to feed them clean there stalls and sooo much more thank you for making this🐴

So true

Smh at people who think horse riding is easy. YOU THINK PUTTING ALL YOUR TRUST INTO AN ANIMAL TWICE THE SIZE OF YOU IS EASY? YOU THINK WE JUST SIT THERE WITH OUR TOES POINTED AND OUR HANDS IN THE AIR? NO! WE WORK DAMN HARD EVERY DAY WITH THESE HUGE ANIMALS!

Correction: more than 700 people die each year. No hate tho :)

soccer players when they fall ont he field:🤕😓😥😖 Me when I fall off my horse: DID YOU GET THAT ON VIDEO?!?!? Also me: Proceeds to ride that same horse bareback later that day.

this video was so inspiring!

At first when you said it wasn’t a sport, I was like, GURL

My trainer wanted me to ride a younger horse and when I got on and started trotting the horse started bolting and I tried to stay calm and do whatever I can to slow down the horse. The horse started bucking and reared up a bit and completely threw me agence the fence (I was riding in a out-door arena at the time) and I broke a rib on the bottom left of my rib cage.(I didn’t break it that badly. I only fractured it or maybe a bit worse?)AND MY FRIEND HAD *THE AUDACITY* TO SAY *FALLIBG FROM AN ESCALATOR WAS MORE PAINFUL!!!* the only injury she got was a bloody knee. SHE DIDNT EVEN BREAK ANYTHING! Long story short. That girl and I are now enemies 😊 and she slapped me for “lying” about my injury. I literally didn’t come to school for a month.

These are the gutless who won't get on an 1100 lb animal that thinks for itsself. And shooting at an unarmed creature with a gun isn't sportsmanship. It's murder.

Horse riding is a sport!

Hi so I have a public speaking competition and today all my friends told me horse riding is not a sport and I got so mad so I want this to be my topic and basically I am just asking if I could use what you said in this video for my speech, if not totally ok. Also love the video,

I’ve been riding for a year, I’ve only just started trotting off the lunge line.what you see on tv takes YEARS

*Just because someone else experiences it, doesn't mean it's the same when you experience it yourself* -Random person

I fall. I get back up. I fall again. I don’t give a shit.

This was one of the set horseback riding messages ever and as a rider I will say that people really do need to know this!

people say riding is easy and don't realize that horses can kill you with their own body they are double, triple, 10x our size they don't understand you you don't understand them riding involves pain suffering mental' and health problems from" Just sitting on a horse"

And then they say “well once I rode a pony and it was easy!”

So good!

Horse riding isn’t a sport. It’s a feeling that comes to you that you never leave behind that an animal such like this can be like this to provide you a better life and can be just there for you and again horse riding isn’t a sports it’s a talent!❤

That was amazing and I hate it when people say it is “easy” it is not

Yesssss soooo true

We are a team our horses are the best of us

I ride horses and, yes it look easy but, when we fell off our horse and this one goes running all over the path, what? It doesn't matter? Well it DOES! And actually in my school, when I tell them that I ride horses they say "you don't know anything of riding horses" or "that's not a sport, you only sit on a horse and it walks, anything else" then I think, what would happen if you ride on a tall horse and start running? Oh and, yes I'm about to do performances and I'm afraid to loose control.

In addition, entrusting your life to a 1200lb animal with no depth perception while jumping...

Horse riding is a sport

I love this t made me cry bc of all the time people have said it not a sport and I know it’s more but no one sees that and I’m glade I have so many amazing people by my side ❤

Riding is so much harder than it looks when people say you just sit there i say ok then try

My mind it hurts!!!

OMG, for riding my entire life and the ups and downs, l %100 agree on you that people done see behind the sense in training and learning. I love how you put in almost every single horse discipline out there in this video.

This is so true

it is

true i barrel race and i my freinds say it not a sport i have to explain to them

Thanks to everyone who makes videos like this one because I get picked on for say that I rid horses and one day I showed them this and know they ask me Every time my lessons over great job it looks really hard

this made me emotional because as a rider, iv’e kinda had the fear of telling people what sport i do, because people judging me. people say “riding isn’t a sport” and i agree its way way more than that. your riding a 1,000 pound or more beast at fast speeds and a animal thats way bigger than a human. like have you tried controlling a 1,000 pound animal? have you fallen off a giant animal multiple times. its such a hard sport, like with other sports (no hate i think all sports are awesome in general!) - your putting your life in danger when riding, so many people die or get serious injuries from riding. but equestrians keep going they don’t give up. Some people think riding is easy. Its the hardest sport in the world, and there’s so many kinds of disciplines all of them are dangerous. your training a really big animal that could potentially injure you severely or kill you, and it’s not like communicating with a teammate in soccer or football, etc. there’s really no way to tell the horse what to do alone, it’s a wild animal not all horses are as trained as the ones you see on tv. and the horse isn’t doing all the work, horses are big animals they could decide to buck or throw you off whenever. And your thinking so much thoughts in your head while riding. and i agree with everything in this video, riding should be known not as a sport but more. don’t give up!!! ❤️

The most dangerous of all sports.

2:03 At this point u could show Benjamin Winter. He died after jumping cross country in the hospital because his horse landed on him. R.I.P Benjamin, But a very beautiful video.

kinda random But I hate when your trotting and posting and the horse stops right when your up at the saddle and I just feel like falling anyways You need hours of train and build up a relationship with your horse for them to trust you and it's not as easy as you think and it's pretty dangerous too you can hurt yourself alot have a Cupcake if you read till the end🧁

The worst injuries happen when they don't let go of the reins as they fall

Poor horsie.

Exactly. You may break a arm from football or something, but we can PARALYZE ourself. 👁👄👁

Them poor horses

After the horse landed on her the way the horse got up to protect her was beautiful

I ride

Horse back riding is definitely a sport

The horses do do pretty much every thing, they are kept in small fucking stalls, killed from being ridden and punished for things they can't do, they didnt do on purpose and things they can't control. I have a mini, he means the world to me and lives in an acer of land with two shelters and donkey. Nothing that these horses get to experience

This video is so true!!! As a horse rider my self every day I hear this!

I can't stop watching this it's so true. I get so cross when people say horse riding is easy but this video just proves how wrong they are
