I didn't learn this in riding school. We learned that we have to sit down and like follow the motion of the horse. I can't tell how many times I've fallen off a horse while gallloping. I have something called the crystal disease which causes me to lose my balance every once in a while, this is why I've fallen off so many times. I stopped riding because I thought that I would never be able to truly enjoy riding a horse ever again because of this disease, but I've recently started horse riding again and I won't let this disease stop me. Thank you for great tips!

[@gilliangirl1]

Wow! I am so impressed that you are riding again after having some tough times. I applaud you for persevering. I have balance problems too from chronic ear trouble so totally get what you mean.

[@cicilps387]

gilliangirl1 not trying to be rude but how does an ear disease affect your balance?

[@gilliangirl1]

CiCi LPS It affects my equilibrium so I have reduced proprioception, that is, I can't tell which way is up!

[@cxrra]

CiCi LPS your hearing actually helps balance! Try and balance on one leg while covering your ears then not and see which is better

[@equestriancrazy6577]

Angelica Labermo you were told to sit down because I'm pretty sure you were cantering, not galloping

[@jenniescateyes9888]

The fact that this was posted 9yrs ago with such good quality is surprising me

[@kayleegroce288]

Honestly, I could care less how I look when I gallop. I'm having too much fun to give a crap! Galloping is amazing...

Try looking into a Action Camera, They are much cheaper but do the same thing. I have multiple videos on my channel and everyone thinks its a go pro when i got it for 30$ xD

I usually have to dig around for my braid yarn removing scissors but that twine thing is pretty handy! My barn usually has a hand rasp (or five) sitting around, and those work fabulously as well.

[@SunflowerMaze]

I had no idea they went to Sandy Hills! That's where my horse came from :)

[@marykaylay]

Thank you so much, your videos are just incredibly helpful! It would be really nice if you made a video about properly warming up, loosening and bending the horse. I know there are some tips about that in some of your other videos but it would be very helpful to watch a proper video!

Hey guys- I love your videos! I'm so glad I stumbled upon your channel. Keep up the good work & I can't wait for the next video!!

[@megancollins9157]

omg i love ur intro its so cool

[@liasabau26lia5]

ikr

[@MsCanada9877]

I love these videos :) I watch all of them despite what they are about! I was questioning whether to watch this or not because i dont gallop, but now that i've watched it, i am really watching it again :P

[@Marleyaye]

That looks like so much fun to gallop on a track!

[@heathercountied2676]

That was cantering...

[@DomoEatsYoko]

If you watch closely at the slow mo, you can see all 4 feet hit the ground separately, a 4 beat gait. Also there is a moment of suspension, where all four feet are off the ground. This was galloping technically. Just a very steady and controlled one. :)

[@heathercountied2676]

DomoEatsYoko I appreciate your correction but it is a canter haha. the canter also has a moment of suspension and while cantering a horse would not have such a good and controlled form as it is showing in this video (its head would not be as collected etc) :)

[@kayleeb8886]

heather countied Hand gallop

[@DomoEatsYoko]

Kaylee B Thank you ^^ aha

[@madidofficial]

That isn't cantering. Cantering is a 3 beat gait meaning there is one foot on the ground at all times. Galloping is a 4 beat gait meaning that all feet are off the ground at one time. Dom and Jimmy aren't full out galloping like what you see say in horse racing or barrel racing and pole bending etc, this is a controlled hand gallop :)

[@gallop2theend]

LOL i love the beginning.... its so true!! XD

[@dripobtained2829]

I live in Wylie Texas!!! OMG come back!!!

[@rhinestonecowgirl1577]

Thank you for this! My horse was off balance in a gallop to the first barrel until I watched this video

[@jessiFjunk]

I am so stoked that you showed Jimmie riding! More videos with Jimmie riding please (not that you aren't awesome Dom)!

[@averyluver1]

I love these videos, I learn so much! Keep up the great work! :3

[@localgamergrill]

Can everyone shut up about them not knowing the differencw between a gallop and a canter? When I lived in Holland and had lessons and my own horse, there was no canter. a canter was considered a gallop and gallop was running gallop or something. Who knows they live in a country where they don't have canter either. I'm sure they know ehat they are doing.

[@paky8374]

In Italy it's the same... We know Gallop... Work G., School G., long step Galop. But of course Canter it's just a Gallop with short step.

[@laug1576]

The intro xD You bet the other guy was a non-equestrian!

[@laceyequestrian1991]

This rlly helped me when instructing my first galloping lesson ❤️ tysm

[@joyajoyajoya7]

And thats 'galloping,' and not cantering to you, Estella... ..tsk tsk..... lovely video... what a lovely guy.... makes a change to see such a non miserable and genuinely helpful equestrian! Thanks for the vid... just getting warmed back up after a break from riding, got a new thoroughbred to ride so hopefully get to put this into action after a long break.....

[@boztris]

Can you please do a video on getting your horse to canter? Every time I want my horse to canter it takes a really fast trot before she does.

[@sarahbarham8592]

That used to happen to me too! I found that it was usually because I wasn't setting my horse up properly to canter. Now I have a list of things I do before I ask my horse to canter: first I shorten the reins up a lot, then I wake my horse up by speeding up and slowing down at the walk (or sitting trot--I never canter from a posting trot) a couple times, then I do a small half-halt and at the exact moment of the release I slide my leg back and squeeze. This always works, because it lets the horse know that I want him to canter, rather than just go at a faster trot.

[@lorellejustice3848]

@@sarahbarham8592this is exactly what I was going to say, keep slowing him down but not stop moving. They only want to please. Slowing them down tells them they arnt doing what you’re asking for. So when you ask them to go again, they’ll say “okay!!”

[@liberalssuck3155]

I've only experienced galloping on a horse once.the experience was one you will never forget.

[@WinningWithPoultry]

Wow what a facility LOVED this Thanks!

Hello dear friend , how are you doing over there with you......

[@Dragon-Slay3r]

Turn right and face up so it's vertical?

[@lizxu322]

I was taken on an impromptu galloping lesson by my ex racehorse Sally when I first bought her. I wasn't so much seated as holding on for dear life tho

[@KM-px8cs]

Even if you hold yourself up through the gallop isn't your weight still going to be just as heavy even though it's on the irons? The irons won't still be transferring that weight to the same "two-point" on the English saddle?

[@megancollins9157]

your horses are sooooo beautiful as well

[@skyewheatley5377]

Thanks for this vid cause I have to do a hand gallop in my hunter workout

You guys are brilliant! must admit I'm british and not a fan of american style riding because i think you guys stick your bums out all the time :P but there was nothing wrong with the riding in this video! you guys were all good and I think I could really learn some things from you :)

[@lynnes11]

sooooo in Australian a "gallop" is what we in the US and UK (and the rest of the world?) call a "canter"?

[@jamesmilly6069]

Hello dear friend , how are you doing over there with you.....

[@Matobit]

Is this gallopping ( super sprint) or canter? Usually the gait after trot is canter then gallop if I'm correct.

[@Matobit]

Lucy Zebrayard Yep that's the same observation I did. Still puzzled why they called it gallop tho lol

[@illumyn]

maybe they thought galloping would be too hard to film?? idk D:

[@BEEDiAMOND-hi2dw]

Whenever I lean forward my strips go forward and it pushes me back...and when my horse is galloping it's hard to keeps my legs still I'm bouncing everywhere..

[@EventionTv]

GoPro Hero 3 Black Edition Helmet footage was taken at 720p @120fps

[@gmwwc]

Wow the cam shot from 3:40 to about 4:30 was great and very smooth. Were you able to get all that with a helmet cam or did you do something more creative? OK! the lesson was well taken too.

[@vlada6942]

Can't you see a go pro cam on his helmet?...

I'm such a fan of your videos!

[@bootbaby10]

Can you guys go over something with bolting? I have a off the track thoroughbred and I want too get into eventing but he bolts after landing every jump that's over 2 foot. I'm scared too think about what he would do on an open cross country course! Thanks a bunch! (:

[@SebastianDavidPB]

It would be nice to know how to get PERFECTLY in sync on a galloping horse, what I mean by perfectly in sync is to stay absolutely glued on the saddle (with absolutely no gap or tiny jumps up and down on the saddle)

[@imagineaboringlife]

[@murphyshsu]

Strong core muscles definitely do... and practice... and a good teacher... and a well behaved horse... and a good attitude. Good luck on your journey!!
