Gina Maria Schumacher Reining Horses in Open Derby with a whopping 230!

[@sillyhiccups7818]

One of the prettiest rides you’ll see! Well done, Gina!

[@ElijahStewart-p8k]

That is the natural headset of a horse. Reining horses are trained to carry their heads low because it helps them to use the rest of their bodies most efficiently. This ride was picture perfect!

[@maeveofthelongbows9552]

It is absolutely NOT the natural headset of any horses.

[@Math4real.Schramm]

What a ride, my god

[@SpooksGottaWhiz]

Great job Gina!

[@Tiger-Heart]

Wow- beautifully done!! ❤️🤩❤️

[@mantra-om22]

horror, absoluter horror! armes gequältes pferd! niemals würde ein pferd freiwillig so unnatürlich laufen!

[@Shepherd1234]

I wished they would explain more because I have no idea why it's so good.

[@lixz23]

Haha me too I’m a dressage rider no idea what is going on there 😂

[@hxrper2347]

@@lixz23A lot of the fundamentals are actually the same as dressage. Rider using aides subtly, horse traveling incredibly well and using its body perfectly. Hind legs are moving in perfect motion when spinning. Sliding stop doesn’t hiccup, it slides smoothly. it’s a perfect ride.

[@ria1110]

Same, I ride 'normal' style English saddle and I have no idea how she gets her horse to do things without using her reins. Really impressive but I need more explanation please.

[@hxrper2347]

@ it’s all in the seat, legs, and core. all things that should be controlling movement, not reins.

[@myronschabe]

The spins here are some of the best you will ever see...they are incredibly fast, smooth and very correct, with fantastic cadence and good shut offs. Correct, means the inner hind leg stays planted and puts a hole in the ground and the front feet cross over outside over inside, his spine stays straight as opposed to bending, his footwork is dazzling. In the circles, his fast to slow is very clean and pronounced, and he is a nice mover, the circles are very correct, his lead changes are very clean with good body position, in the fast he is really booking so degree of difficulty is higher. He is a very good stopper smooth and the front feet, paddle in the front to stop. Atheletic stops His back is really good, really good cadence and snappy. Everything is overall very smooth and he is really hooked onto the rider. The only thing not desireable in this run, is his mouth gapes at times.

That horse did the moonwalk at the end?! 😎

[@Hobbyhorsedragonpuppet]

Ахереть, я случайно узнал чем занимается дочка Михаэля Шумахера!!!

Nieźle bratku ::)))

[@Michaelmazi]

Seem strange that horses didn't have there heads like that in the 80's.

[@myronschabe]

Yeah, they were built different...the horses have evolved...mostly it is their confirmation, though there are some trainers who do over do it with the vertical position of their head, this ride is not at all overdone imo.

[@Michaelmazi]

@myronschabe well if this is what they have EVOLVED to than they have ruined the breed once again.Back in the 80's and 90's they put too much Through breed in them screwing up there feet,now there are screwing up there knees and shoulder breeding a low headed horse.

[@cathykalbach2950]

Why does he travel with his head so low?

[@cloudedcolour5329]

because shes giving him his head instead of holding him short to emphasise natural movement

[@sillyhiccups7818]

That’s where the horse is comfortable, totally relaxed

[@parkerbrown-nesbit1747]

Mine never did that. Her natural movement was head up.

[@ItzRandom14]

@@parkerbrown-nesbit1747I think it Varys how they hold their head from horse to horse tbh

[@untiyx]

a lot of horses bred for things like reining, huntseat, trail (not trail riding), western pleasure, etc naturally carry their heads low

[@fredericsimus2934]

Super

[@rickstevens1384]

You'll never see a horse in nature carrying their head in that position, certainly not while moving at any speed. They're going to breed/train these horses just like they've ruined so many dog breeds. Look at German Shepherds 10 years ago vs. the show dogs now.

[@jenshron8625]

Habe ein Nachwuchs von Mello Yello Jersey und Uno Dual Cat ( Stutfohlen) zu verkaufen. Lg

[@claudialux6489]

Furchtbarer Sport... armes Pferd 😢

[@maeveofthelongbows9552]

Horses DO NOT naturally carry their heads that low when they are relaxed. This has become the latest trend for reining horses. These horses are FORCED into this stance by trainers. Humans do the stupidest things to horses. This is absolutely ridiculous. I feel sorry for this wonderful horse.
