ENGLISH RIDER TRIES RIDING WESTERN

[@kbel9446]

I like that she gave Western riding the same respect that she gives English.

[@condorboss3339]

There are a couple of "Dressage vs Western" videos where riders from each discipline come out on their horses, perform a little, then switch horses and work in the other discipline. They are fun videos and basically prove that good riding is good riding, no matter what style you prefer.

@@jadestacey3802 My wife is English rider, and has never been comfortable in a Western saddle. They throw her weight backward, and she's miserably unhappy. If necessary, she just takes off a Western saddle and rides bareback. Of course, being a cowgirl is a whole other game! That's when you need a Western saddle!

I lost it when you released the "cow"! I have ridden both and it seems that each method works for different horses. I enjoyed your video very much.

I’ve only ever ridden western. I almost never get to ride, I don’t do lessons or anything, but I go on trail rides, summer camps, and I volunteer as much as I can. I’m starting to volunteer at a new place and they use English saddles. I’m so excited to get to learn about English saddles too :D

[@peregrinetheskywing1674]

same I love my boys but they're rescue so we need weight on the big guy and little man needs training... but when we do ride we have lots of fun. My whole family rides western, so having a horse is like a right of passage.

[@kasieream1248]

When you said, “Release the cow!” I was totally expecting Collin to run across the arena! 😂

[@ImJin-la]

The thing about Western saddles is that they can be used for longer rides and work. English saddles are good for jumping and dressage. For me, English saddles are more comfortable and I’m used to them. I’ve done pole bending before, but on an English saddle and at a walk. I haven’t done it at a trot yet.

I'm not an expert on cattle, but I'd recommend installing different fences with smaller gaps so that the cattle can't get through any gaps in the fences 😉

[@ItsMe-pz9yh]

As a barrel racer I thought this was awesome to watch! You gave it so much respect and the barrel racing was very enjoyable to watch 😂😂! Nice job!

[@_.Hey.Two._]

I actually have been doing western recently. I'm an English rider and still find it a bit strange but I started western. When for 3 years I only rode English. Now I'm doing both and hoping to compete in small little barrel races with my friends. :) Edit: my first barrel race was a total mess 😹 my horse was bucking and rearing because he wanted to run 🙀

[@nadiachopstick2938]

i rlly think this channel is underrated and deserves so much more credit :)

[@loricady950]

You should have a western rider with you so you ride western and they ride English you both can give each other tips and advice. Who knows you may get someone into English riding for the first time. plus its a great experience doing something new. Anyways have a good day and give Tucker a hug for all of us!

[@edennorthyt8702]

As someone that rides western at my work I work on a cattle and corn farm in qld Australia im glad you gave it respect

[@Jules-dx3nu]

Thank you for demonstrating our horses are never perfect! I'm sure it helps a lot of our confidence since Tucker seems so amazing!

[@Baileybug_11]

( I haven’t started the video yet) I ride English to, so I thought it be interesting to see an English rider go from English to western!

[@Ninja500KRTDee]

How do u smile the ENTIRE time u talk??? Amazing! U r really breathtaking!

[@mt.shasta6097]

Darin Tucker, it's strange. Trying to please all. Sort of like a nervous tic.

[@quinn864]

I ride both but mostly Western so just a bit of advice if you ever wanted to ride Western again 1. He may be confused when you're riding because he can't feel you as well as he can with an English saddle, so try to keep a little more contact through the leg 2. Your rein was a little short at certain points, which I get because you're an English rider, but if you were on a Western trained horse it would probably be very uncomfortable or confused at that length Other than that, great job!

[@lavenderwyvern]

Tucker looks very dapper in that saddle!

[@kimkenny1984]

I just got a new horse for the first time in a couple of years and your videos have been a great resource! I’d love to see a video on braiding a horse’s mane! I’m also definitely going to put your groundwork tips to use for my Tennessee Walker mare.

[@Flowering_Azalea]

I love how the moment she lopes while neck reining she garbs the horn LMAO That gets trained out of us quick

[@loraolson74]

Great job!!!! Any western rider that picks on you should try riding English and see how hard it is too change. I have been a western rider all my life and a year ago I decided to teach my self how to ride English. It was fun but not easy. I took several bad falls it was my own fault and I learned a lot for it( number one there is a reason for wearing a helmet). I now enjoy riding English just as much as western. Good luck to you and keep having fun.

[@azpatriotgal321]

Got a good chuckle! 🤣. Especially loved the cow! Haha! 🤣🤣

[@yvonneplont5211]

You have such an amazing attitude!! TY for sharing you and Tucker's fun day 💗

[@stefanieq.2221]

This was cool to watch! Just if you were going to do like trail riding with a western saddle you would want a back cinch and a breastplate/ collar

[@CarmellaAbel]

Yes! I need to get a breastplate...and a different western saddle. This one didn’t quite fit him like I wanted to!

[@reagan_elise]

I love western riding! Its what i do im so glad when english riders try it and western riders try english. Then there isnt much rivalry between them. The only thing that was so major was you had shorter sturups in western we go longer. If you went down one or two you would have been a little more comfortable😄 but somepeople like longer or shorter its mostly preference

Okay thing in those barrels, when you go out of the gate you need to have both hands in the reins, also when you turn you need to have your hand on the saddle horn. And when you turn halfway through the barrel you need to look at the other barrel.

[@farmall4505]

They make bags for saddles called saddle bags and horn bags. You can put much more than phones and keys like tie lines and halters so when your ridding into town to see your friends you can tie the horse up and walk inside for a minute.
