Fantastic Four Trick Riders

Part of the special celebration of the 10th Annual Bowsman Lions Club Bullarama on October 5, 2013. These trick riders are from Norquay, Saskatchewan, and though they are only in their second year, they are pros. And wait till you see the littlest member of the Fantastic Four!

[@mochimacaroon400]

Robin had pratically no controll over her horse... She also kicked and pulled a lot... The little girl is adorable and you can tell the mother, the horse, and the little girl all love each other. that horse calmed down and even took smoother steps onces that little girl hopped on.

[@jhaydenshorse5195]

The first one in the ring was the nicest to her horse, she didn't wham him in the sides at all. The last one to enter all you see is smacking after smacking in the sides.

[@joanpowers3593]

Jamie Hayden How was she the nicest? I saw and heard her smack the rump of her horse as soon as they entered in the ring....

[@jhaydenshorse5195]

She only did that once, the other riders did it multiple times.

[@joanpowers3593]

Jamie Hayden But did she praise her horse like the others? none of those horses look happy and none of the riders look nice.

[@rachelthekiwi304]

Aw that little girl was sooooooo cute!!!!

[@ThatAwkwardEquestrian]

Can they control their horses?!

[@teneika89]

That Awkward Equestrian yes

[@jennacooley1721]

That Awkward Equestrian right

[@lindasturman4349]

[@gracejory9161]

@kilometerkiara they are trained to do that so they just run by themselves and then when they ask them to stop they stop

[@lucyxxhuskyhorse8319]

And all I can do is walk, trott, canter, and cross rail!

[@aliceemerson2599]

And the occasional vertical.

[@lucyxxhuskyhorse8319]

[@viennameyers6599]

For people who say they suck they don't like the other person said to small of an arena but they have horrible control of there horse I mean they were bumping into each other the horses were anxious and how they had to kick them they need more practise just on riding I have been riding or 13 years and I'm 14

For all the people saying how much better they are, leave them alone. They are obviously doing this to have fun. Shows how caring ya'll are.. shake my head.

[@haleyg.7766]

awesome I am so jealous

[@AnnieMoonland]

Its disappointing to see the girl on the black horse not even pat her horse unlike the two girls on the chestnuts.

[@katiemarie8136]

anyone else wonder how many times they fell off during practice? ???!!!

[@darcycarter4950]

The horses don't look happy.

[@jaidenhurleu8465]

Robins toes are terrible😭🤚🏻 🥲 I- I can’t with people

[@Noone-rh5uc]

[@redxchrry7588]

I agree

[@teneika89]

Rodeogirl yes they are

[@TheBanana1226]

I think they need some more practice! You can tell they love their horses though and that's all that really matters.

[@Countrygirl-wh8pu]

[@emilyduke8806]

For all the people calling them bad they need to stop it wasn't a big enough ring and there wasn't enough space I'm sure they have good and bad days

[@thedancinggirls101channel3]

+crazycountrycowgirl I do ride horses I am tenth in Australia for rodeo and I think I know what I am talking about while u go and comment on everything

[@elizabethjenkins3284]

That little did whatttttttttt !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@haileyhowell6916]

Way to kick your horses guys.......I hope they stop responding to that crap.

[@kayleehartwig]

Hailey Howell I totally know where youre coming from! I ride, i go to competions and see people almost kick them so hard they get so crazy, i mean i get it thats how you make them move but like there are other ways, squeeze, tap them,or get spurs, they dont hurt the horse.

[@vincentk8721]

crazycountrygirl I don’t agree spurs do more harm then good and that’s why I don’t ride my horse in bits spurs or use crops all of those are abusive

[@erinsequinelife4275]

Lily the Horse girl they aren't abusive unless you make them be. it all depends on the rider. its how the rider uses the bit, crop or spurs. Please don't say its abusive if you don't have reasoning

[@LyraLarkaII]

@@kayleehartwig People used to have to "earn their Spurs". When they proved themselves to be a great horseman, with soft hands and a soft horse, they were awarded their Spurs. Because spurs can do a great deal of damage, not always intentional. But one shouldn't kick with spurs, you should have stable feet and just press lightly; spurs also add length to the leg, so pressing the rear end over with a simple touch is much easier. But most people I see with spurs Still kick the horse with them: that shit hurts and Will Gouge the horse, I've seen it and it looks awful. Now, bits. The whole point of a bit is to cause pain. Even the softest bits (in an experienced person's hand) can pull at the lips, pinch the tongue and if it moves in the mouth can hurt the teeth. As for crops, I don't think they're always bad. I've used them to tap a horses shoulder or certain spots when I want them to do something specific. But when people just whack their horses with it repeatedly and without restraint... Yeah, horses have thicker skin but they're Probably already doing all they can for you and the flogging isn't helping.

[@cammyerickson7848]

my horse is named shooter

[@stefanie3578]

poor hors :(

[@amyc5437]

How is it poor, the horses get to go as fast as they like. This is just a discipline of riding, so if this is bad then nobody should ever ride a horse, right?

[@missmysticfalls3228]

+Delisiousfajita It's called "counter-canter", when the horses are on the wrong leg on purpose. Trick riding, specifically, is unfair to the horse as the horse will get a back issue called spinal rotation, when the spine rotates over time due to running in circles in the same direction all their life (this is found in almost all racehorses, depending on which way round the track they go). The muscles have built up on one side of the spine but not the other, so the spine ends up rotating. This can lead to bulging vetebrae and can cause severe back pain for the horse, that we don't seem to notice.

[@nelliehall659]

It is poor when we have people constantly kicking and hurting a horse in the ribs

[@hannahgarrison6926]

i think these girls need more practice. i am 13 and am way better. they do love it so they should keep it up. look up Westernaires trick ridding

[@kayleehartwig]

Hannah Garrison do you ride? I bet not, because another equestrain wouldnt say such a negitive comment. I mean its about having fun and enjoying something special with their horse. Just like i do with my horse

[@emilygracehulsey253]

Abigail Lyttle F U leave them alone? Idiot.

[@stefanienicholas7706]

Doing this without helmets is just flat out stupid

[@kayleehartwig]

Stefanie Nicholas its trick riding, your not supossed to use a helmet if your a perfessional rider. its not stupid its just part of their talent, i ride, i wish i was able to trick ride.... ;)

[@delaneygrace3569]

Uh. You don't know trick riding if u think they are supposed to use a helmet. So technically your stupid

[@delaneygrace3569]

Uh. You don't know trick riding if u think they are supposed to use a helmet. So technically your stupid

[@abigaillyttle1394]

Acually your the stupid one. If you rode you would know that trick riders don't wear helmets. And helmets don't protect you. They are basically false protection.

[@teneika89]

They practice

[@chloenesci1104]

Trick riding is freaky, I can only do the running man and I can stand up on the horse while cantering, that's probably as far as I'll get in trick riding😂 It's freaky trust me, but you have to have a lot of trust in the horse

[@crlidd7824]

WTF???

[@sunny.w9347]

Poor horses...

[@nikkireynolds5481]

Leandra S. they are broken to do that

They are not good at all

[@frejaskelton7147]

How are they not good?

[@rosasilver7426]

I think that's a bit harsh x

[@kpopppppo2768]

some of the tricks were stuff you could do in a normal saddle

[@buckyscastle]

The graham sisters are way better

[@VictorytigeressAj]

Then go watch them and stop leaving negative comments

[@kaseybramich3221]

gee these girls need way more practise like and btw slow horses I'm 12 and I'm not fall for it

[@kayleehartwig]

kasey bramich wow and you dont even ride i bet but you make this comment acting like you know what it should be they are fine and horses aren't slow, they made them go slow.

[@kaseybramich3221]

That's why they where whipping them and right now I am sitting ninth in Australia for Barell racing

[@joanpowers3593]

kasey bramich They had a really small arena to work in. Of coarse they wouldn't go super fast in a crowded arena like that.

[@jennacooley1721]

Terrible

[@briannahicks1420]

They are terrible but girls keep training get better at it...that little girl was better then them

[@maiawhite4504]

stop saying poor horses. there fine. thats what horses are meant for

[@abigaillyttle1394]

Maia hi . No that is not what horses are meant for. And I'm sorry your that stupid , it must be hard. I hope someday somehow we will find a cure.

[@skylaxmiller3484]

Abigail Lyttle Yes exactly... I feel very sorry for that girl😂
