Alycia Burton FALLING OFF IN A WATER JUMP- FREE RIDING ON CROSS COUNTRY

Falling off into the water jump on cross country. This was a VERY long 1 stride in this combination. I rode Goldrush wrong the first time around but cleaned it up the second time around by lengthening his stride and asking him to jump bigger over the first fence.
When I fall- it's amost always onto my feet- which has come about from years of falling off on purpose.
I do a lot of "falling off" on horses when I break them in or re-break them in so they learn not get frightened or run off. I teach them to halt as soon as my feet hit the ground from the walk, trot and also the canter. (Goldrush didnt halt here but he normally does)
I train a lot for 'rainy days' - for those times when the 'custard hits the fan'. The purpose for this is not only to keep my reaction times quick in my mind & body but it's all about safety for us both.
I don't want to know I can do well when my circumstances are good- I want to know that my horse and I will be ok when we get into a bad stride- or if we slip, or mess up.

Woah.. I was surprised when you landed on your feet, that was so cool!

[@SabrinaLWilliams]

I love that you show the mistakes as well and not only the amazing clips. I love your videos, riding style and connection between you and your horse, but clips like these show that even skilled riders still have to work hard to get fantastic results. I applaud this video!!

[@TheRealDeal92]

I love the fact that she shows her awesome jumps and falls. I saw her when she came to Salt Lake City, Utah. Her message was as good as it can get. She knows that she is not perfect and everyone horse and rider can make mistakes and learn from them. I love that she shows her fails as well. Thanks for uploading. ❤️🐴

[@milsequine3193]

It just proves even the best of horses slam on the breaks ! Xx

[@MadisonMillerm]

He didn’t slam on breaks really he saw she was unbalanced from landing funny so he stopped so she could re-balance but she dismounted with style instead 😂😂 no hate btw x

[@camigreen905]

Alycia Burton: luckily I have a habit of landing on my feet. Me: Oh I hv a great habit of falling on my face😂😁🥴

[@emilyjarrell-florence8811]

You are so athletic that you floated off like a feather landing so light and gracefully. Incredible.

[@veerlevanmerwijk7862]

I think it's amazing how you landed on your feet. Also, I think it's great that you simply say "I rode my horse wrong the first time, so I corrected it the second time". You admit your mistakes and learn from it. A lot of (horse) people can learn from you, my compliments, it looks amazing! :)

[@ava_a313]

BRO SHE MADE THAT LOOK SO EASY AND CLEAN 💀

[@Galemor1]

When the horse is allowed to say, shit no this isn't right. They where both out of balance, so he did the right thing.

[@silja6019]

R.E.S.P.E.C.T. The most elegant way of "falling off". And still standing. Thumbs up!

[@lemoncxllo]

Your so talented!

[@aliceeq7276]

first, great dismount Alycia!

[@courtneyanderson3111]

I dont know how you landed like that !! If that was me i would be soaked i would have fallen off my back !! Your amazing and i love you and your horse !!

Even when she falls she does it perfectly ... so jealous haha

She even falls graciously omg she can do everything

I wish I could land on my feet like you 😂

[@walkerrodeo651]

We love unscheduled dismounts 💞

[@iimxblslife6282]

Wow! That was incredible, a massive well done. You are an amazing rider and bareback too! You managed to very skilfully turn and land on both feet, neatly. An amazing rider you hardly fell off, just an emergency dismount! Well done to both of you, incredible! ❤️🐴🥰

[@delaneyrichardson]

My ankles hurt watching this. It’s bad enough dismounting in tall boots and not landing right, I can’t imagine being thrown off and landing on my feet in tall boots😅

[@createdbycharlotte04]

if that was me who fell off, i’d go flying and get drenched! well landed! ❤️❤️

[@anna_mitchell2139]

She didn’t fall she did an epic emergency dismount 😂

[@tnequestrianlife8474]

That was an amazing dismount! You and Goldrush are amazing!💖🐎 I've done a bit of jumping bareback 3ft and you just feel so free I love it so much! You're so inspiring!:)

"this isn't flying this is falling with style"

Thank you for showing the "not so perfect"-clips as well!

Oh man, how do you ride so well and fall down one time and look like that😭😭😭

[@lesliemoiseauthor]

The refusal of an educated horse. Goldrush knew he was meeting the jump wrong and refused to prevent a wreck.

[@gaiaatkins9258]

And I’m used to to falling on my back 🥴

[@fridayswithfifi]

i love how she fell hard and she didnt even say ask for help. she got right back up.

[@treelore5100]

jeepers that wack on the horses front though!! that must have really hurt!

[@Panfru]

Damn, that was amazing! I'm lucky I have never fell off my horse in a rough way (y usually roll on the ground, then get up) but this is on another level! I'm stunned 😯

[@JugglesGrenades]

I'm still an equestrian at 65 years old. One thing learned a LONG time ago, when my rear end leaves the saddle, the only thing now is how am I going to land? But, she made it look easy. When the ground rushed up and caught me, it usually meant a trip to the doctor or chiropractor.

[@user-kt6yx7ox7z]

Oh my god! You didn't fall you just dismounted 😂. You're amazing ♥️.

It looks like coming off bareback instead of from a saddle helped you get your balance quickly so you could land on your feet. Wow👍🏻

I had my first fall last week.So I've only canered once and the horse I was riding started to gallop,my feet slipped out the stirrups and I held onto the saddle because I lost the reins (idk how that happened)then he started bucking so my back and my head were balanced on his bum for about 5 secs and then he bucked me off.Im fine now tho.But you can never be perfect!
