How to Say "No You Can't Ride My Horse"

[@Ashtonolivia]

A little girl came to my trainers barn to build up her confidence on dead quiet lesson horses. I typically rode my horse before or after her lesson so she could see a little bit and one day she asked my trainer if she could ride him. Trainer chuckled a little bit and said "Sweetheart, we like you too much to put you on him" He's a good horse if you know what you're doing but he would've destroyed that child's confidence in five minutes

[@sierrajade4587]

That's exactly what I'd have to say about my mare. She's like a confidence wrecking ball and is VERY picky about who gets to order her around.

[@graciepayton4788]

+Sierra Jade me to

[@my_bay_jed5509]

That would be the same with my boy, a VERY good horse, pretty much 0 confidence though. He's definitely nit push button and could kill someone's confidence within five seconds. Especially a beginner/learner

[@flykiwifly3828]

I don't have many friends so no one really asks to ride my horse, once I was out riding at the arena with my friend and my friend's friend (who's never rode before). Asked if they could ride my mare, I was gonna say no but my friend begged so I gave in and told her to keep it at a walk. My horse is a super laid back QH and has never done anything like bucking or rearing under saddle. Hardly ever spooks. Super chill. The girl gets on, walks a lap and then my friend tells her to try trotting. She does. She went half way down the arena with her bouncing along and my horse doing the best she could to tolerate a limp sack of potatoes flopping around on her before she decided she'd had enough of it and bucked like i'd never seen before. The girl had an iron grip on the horn and stayed on, but got of right after that. Never asked to ride again. My horse had never bucked before and hasn't since. Serves the girl right I think.

[@rradiosilencee]

OMFG xD

[@airaysickle]

I wouldn't say "serves her right" that's harsh. Every rider has to learn to ride. Just not everyone sticks with it. We all bounced at the first few goes (except if you had a horse whos trot was smoother than glass)

[@MJ-xe6il]

I realize this was 4 months ago but she never had permission to trot on her horse. She was nice enough to let her ride by walking around but then they push it too far into a trot. So yes, she did deserve a lesson from that.

[@haleydarby-miller4480]

FlyKiwiFly maybe that girl would do better at bronc riding 😂😂😂😂

[@luluhahahaha5231]

Tbh i would be more mad at ur friend, not the girl. She clearly knew nothing about horses, but your friend should have been more responsible and not put either of you in that position.

[@PotterYouRotter7]

my horse is a 13.2hh mustang. i get two reactions. either people expect her to be perfect for their child because she's a "pony", or they warn me about keeping such a "wild breed" under control. There is no in between.

[@imSORRYforIT]

[@cowmemes7661]

i have rode a mustang they are not always mean or bad horses as long as they are well trained and have someone who knows how to ride on them they are just fine

[@legerdemain444]

I've got a 13.2hh brumby. I got her wild out of the bush and brokenher myself.I've never had anyone say keep that "wild breed" under control. I get people telling me I should sell her to a kid because she's "just a pony". A pony that's won senior cutting and ranch horse titles... She's pretty safe to ride but can spin on a die and is extremely responsive to the lightest touch, she'd throw most people by just doing what she thinks they're telling her to do. Size and breed means nothing, it's half nature and half training.

[@nubbelbobsduck6307]

I once made the mistake to lend my precious horse to this girl who was a bit younger than me, because her horse was lame and i wanted to be nice. The agreement was if she wanted to ride she had to take lessons from my trainer. I hardly let anyone other ride one but she was a really talented rider, definatly better than me, no debating there. I know that and I respect that but to have the nerve to tell me afterwards that i am ruining my horse which has been with me for 5 years was like a slap in the face. Fun fact on some shows im even placed a bit higher than her but that's beside the point. you dont just ride someone elses horse and then tell you that you're a comple shitty rider, just because you' re a bit more laid back and had to use running side rains for ages does not mean that this bratty girl can go up my mother and tell her i'm crap, at least she could tell it to my face.

[@evasofia07]

Exactly! Beginners who know their depth and are very polite are much better than beginners who think they're experienced!

[@loosey5465]

I have a 7 or 8 yr. old paint quarter mix gelding. (my profile pic) He is SUPER layed back on the ground. So on the ground whether your a pro or a 3 year old kid going through the pony faze, you'll be ok. But under saddle, that's a different story. He's the type where if you haven't been riding for a few weeks, you need to grab that western saddle and strap a helmet to your head because you don't know WHAT he might do. He might do perfect, or you might ask for a canter and him just strike out or slam the brakes. For example, weeks and days before the 4H horse show, he was GREAT. He was moving great, his pivot was good, and I thought we were gonna go in maybe come out with a ribbon or two. BUT this was his first show. So we got to the fair grounds, got him out. He was fine, didn't show any sighns of fear or nervousness. We walked into the ring, our first class was showmanship. In the warm up arena I knew something was wrong. He was pacing around me, his ears were flying, and his eyes searched around nonstop. I calmed him down then we went into the arena. We started, I could feel him shaking a little, but whispered stuff in his ears to calm him down. We walked up to the first cone. His pivot was AMAZING. Better than I've ever seen him do. Then, this is when all of it went crashing down. The lady on the speaker starts talking, and it thundered kinda. Next thing I know, I'm holding onto that lead as tight as i can, and up goes Gus, my horse, rearing on his back feet, everyone thought he was gonna fall backwards. And of course the judge just stands there. .-. I calm him down, and he's completely fine again. We walk out, his nostrils still flaring some, and me choking back tears. Not because I was mad at him, not because I was mad we lost. Because I was afraid. Not afraid of him, but afraid he could or hurt me or someone else. Or maybe even ran me over. We went home, and I was actually proud. I was proud of my little gelding that I had trained myself. No trainers. No whips. No harsh bits. Just a young girl that loved her horse. And people still think he's crazy, or a "psycho paint", but I don't care. Because when I got him he did NOTHING. He just would walk in circles. So if any of you think you just wanna give up, or are afraid to get back up in the saddle, don't be. Get back up, and say "I'm gonna ride this time better than I did before."

[@carrington_starr]

Thank you for that because.... Well... How do I say this.... Ok so, I'm not afraid of horse I just know what they are capable of and I know that with a good bond, the horse will trust you. An easier way to say it is that I'm not confident and when I fall I get shaky but I can force myself to get back up. I LOVE horses but that's the problem is my confidence

[@Rachel-lq9vl]

@@carrington_starr Don't worry, take it from someone who's had there confidence shattered time and time again, you'll build up your confidence if you need to go 3 steps at a time. And when you fall off, unless you physically cannot ride, ALWAYS get back up. It's okay if you need to sit down and take a minute or two to gather yourself, and it's okay if you only walk the rest of the ride, baby steps. Also if you get nervous cantering or trotting, go 3 strides at a time, and go back to walk/trot and then 3 more, etc. then slowly move it up to 5 strides and so on until you can go around the entire ring.

[@ab.erdeen54]

not my horse- my trainer's horse that i regularly ride for lessons/just exercising him, the exact same thing. he is just an angel on the ground, pretty much bomb proof because he was bought from a family with a bunch of little kids. however, undersaddle he is completely different. as i said, he was ridden by little kids, who quite clearly didn't know how to ride or how to give a horse direction. he's not a pony, but he certainly acts like one- always looking for a way to escape. he's such a sweet boy once he gets to know you and knows what your asking, learns to take your direction as he starts to respect you

[@westerncowgirl1310]

Thank you, I really needed this right now. I just recently lost one of my geldings to colic and even though I have other horses to ride, I’ve been avoiding it like the plague. The memories I’ve had with that horse. I got him when I was 3 and he made the perfect little pleasure horse for me to ride, perfect size, about 14.2hh. As I got older I got into barrel racing and pole bending, and little did we know he was great at it. Speedy little pony. Loved him with all of my heart.

[@ZipGoesAMillion]

If your horse is hot-tempered or potentially dangerous for an inexperienced rider, then of course the safest option is to say no you can't ride my horse. But as a horse owner, I am aware that owning a horse is kind of a special thing and not everyone can own their own horse. I therefore believe it is important to share your horses if you can. I ride my own horse regularly, but if any of my friends (whether they ride regularly or not at all) ask if they can ride my horse, I will say yes. I won't leave them alone with my horse, and I will of course make sure that they don't do anything to harm my horse. So if I am supervising, why wouldn't I let someone else ride my horse?

[@janiellemarahulme893]

ZipGoesAMillion, your very unique rider thank you for being kind to others.🌸 I believe the exact same thing, a lot of people won't let others ride their horses for no good reason but if you can let someone ride your horse and it's docile enough why not spread the joy of riding,help each other out? What are friends for?

I love your comment. My filly is still learning but someday I hope she’ll be reliable and safe enough to let friends and kids ride her.

[@beckstyles3467]

[@westerncowgirl1310]

Because you can’t be absolutely sure that they are not harming your horse. Of course they would not harm it on purpose, but they could be using a technique that you are not aware of. Of course this is just my opinion, and if you are comfortable with other people riding your horse then go right ahead, I just don’t normally let anyone ride my babies.

[@halliesharman3655]

My Arabian is the best horse I've ever ridden but he's that good because I've ridden him a lot and know how to control him. If a beginner gets on him he will just spook and bolt at about everything. One time I was riding in a arena and I was cantering and this girl who actually has her own horse came up to me scared the hell out of my horse because she just ran up to him mid canter and mind you I almost fell off straight off his head and she was like umm I need to ride your horse. And I was like excuse me? You NEED to ride my horse? And she was like yes I need to. I was like no sorry why don't you go ride your horse. And she said but your horse looks better and then proceeds to try and push my off my OWN horse. I was like what the hell do you think your doing and who do you think you are. I regained my balance and then I tried to tell her again nicely, my horse is very hot tempered with people he doesn't know so no you can't ride him. And she just stomped her foot and stormed off and she actually tried hurt my horse by opening the stall door when he was in there. Luckily he's really well trained and didn't leave. And if you want to know how I know she opened the stall door and tried to make him leave it's on the security cameras they had up. Worst girl I've ever experienced in my whole life.

That girl was spoiled rotten and had no right to do that! I grew up around horses, so I know that a lot goes into riding and training.

[@jozefivanov600]

My horse was badly mistreated and does not trust anyone but me because I was the person who retrained her. I did allow someone else to try to ride her once and she went back to acting exactly how she did before she was rehabilitated, and I haven't let anyone else ride her since. Personally, I think it is good to let your horse get used to different people because if anything ever happens to you, and it can, your horse will stand a much better chance of finding a good owner. The way my horse is now, she stands very little chance at all of being valued by anyone other than me.

[@jordanwhite1420]

Maybe let a trusted rider groom with you to start? I've seen a very rebellious horse become downright friendly to a chosen few, just by giving him room & time to trust. I know it's not perfect, but just a suggestion IMHO.

Friend: can I ride ur horse? Me: no. -walks away-

[@dena-albaalba-dena8923]

I hate that question...

[@janinenayda8097]

That's why I never ask lol I just wait for my generous horse owning friends to offer, its rare that they do, but very appreciated when it happens. ^.^

[@Graycata]

I'm one of those people who was drawn to horses. I usually don't expect to be offered a ride. but I have hopes of at least being able to pet the horse or interact with it to some small degree. once I was offered a ride and I was a bit taken back. but I took the offer and the person was surprised because I actually knew how to ride

[@bluenapkin6532]

Im the type of person who was raised with a tiny bit of respect, so i say: Oh please no, you'll never know how he'll react. If it's my friends who's been to the stables and interacted with him then sure, i would take them for a simple warm up session. And I just avoid small kids, I have a friesian and he's pretty calm but still pretty big. I would never put a small child on him for safety reasons.

[@MaritsView]

I would say, sorry bud.. He still needs to be trained a little bit under the saddle haha. Or, why don't you go to a stable and do group lessons? :D

[@Just2equestriangirls]

It's hard for me to say no to my friends bc my horse is 20 and has been fully trained, so it's hard for me

[@meganhughes561]

+Just2EquestrianGirls ohhhh yeah that's tough... you talking about Badger? he's so cute :)

[@Just2equestriangirls]

+Megan Hughes yea and thanks

[@meganhughes561]

Just2EquestrianGirls your welcome:) love your channel

[@MaritsView]

+Just2EquestrianGirls Go to a group lesson together :D they'll have fun together with you that way :)

[@Ebonyfox2]

Guess I'm in the minority here. I let everyone ride my horse. NO CANTER. but walk and trot is absolutely fine. Teach them the commands while leading my horse on a lead line and then move them into the round pen and stand in the middle supervising. My only rule is if you are going to go on a joyride you are going to learn basic horsemanship too. You will brush him, pick his feet, saddle him up, help warm him up and THEN you get to ride. Afterwards you will cool him off, take off his tack and brush him down. Most people are over it the first time after they realize there is work involved. For those who aren't turned off though I can always use a riding buddy so why not get them hooked =)

[@miriamgwynn5712]

I do the same thing, basically, a beginner lesson, even if you have ridden before, I want you to prove it.

[@country_footsteps]

I say, "Sign the waiver and good luck." So far I'm the only one that is able to ride my horse. lolz

[@abbyalsted2966]

Me too. I two of my friends try to get ton my 9 year old gelding and they both got thrown 😂

[@pjmingi8709]

"Hey can I ride your horse?" "No you can't"

[@fatboykissing]

"Can I ride your horse?" "He has fleas? YES HE HAS VERY BAD FLEAS..."

The broccoli one 😂😂😂

[@lucyk4730]

Legit chill, I have my little baby boy who I absolutely love leading my friends on it makes my day, he's and ex racehorse so super sensitive and has different aids so asking for a trot is equivalent for asking to gallop so that's my only reason I don't let them ride him without a lead rope, it's super fun to see my friends riding my bestrfriend he's so lovely too !!!

[@elliecowell3412]

Lucy K I think the video is more on about when someone wants to ride your horse properly - especially people who think they're great riders and you know they're trash. I'll happily lead beginners round on my horse but there are very few people who call themselves riders who I'd let ride

[@livswiftwaterajsso]

Me when little kids ask if they can ride my pony "he eats little kids"

[@cass3652]

"That idea was so bad it gave me cancer"

[@aranara_song]

Me honestly

[@cass3652]

xD true

[@PiggyLover]

wow you seem to love stealing other people's comments

[@casscozzie3289]

The farrier comes on Wednesday but on Friday he's lame!?!?!?!?😂😂😂

[@cowmemes7661]

i know a horse almost every time he gets his feet done he is lame

[@justcanteron-dv1gb]

"That idea was so bad it gave me cancer" me

[@saradiamondheartsoldchanne8912]

I loved how the horse said no. xD

[@sparklingponios3421]

Horse jaws😂😂😭😭

[@danielledavis6777]

I like the 1 where you say shure only if I can drive your car into a dich

I agree with pretending you don't speak English (or whatever language that is in the country of your residence). I've done it before, but not with horses.

[@charli.h3443]

'Friday i think he might be lame' 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@cherylstone7256]

Thanks for all the different suggestions 😉 they are funny but also helpful

[@emmadeequestrian]

Before I got my pony he belonged to the riding scholl I rode and helped at. I didn't want him in the riding school when my parents got him for me, cause all the little kids would have ruined him. Kicking to hard and yanking the bit. Then I got to the barn at 9:30 and what did I see? One of the older girls who helped there was riding him without my permission. I flipped. I screamed at her "WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING ON MY PONY?! I DIDN'T GIVE YOU PERMISSION TO RIDE HIM!!" She gave me a stupid excuse on why she was riding him. Now for life I have a groom for shows :)

[@slee9838]

Tbh I'd either give the crude or attitude answer XD

[@thatoneequestrian1998]

This was so funny. Also what a gorgeous horse you have

[@cupcakehorses8445]

This is LEGIT the funniest video I have ever seen😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@AkashaStudios]

I use the legally one lol, because it's true because I can't since he's a lease :)

[@colth0und]

how i would say it: "no - i dont want you tainting my lovely"

[@katemachemer692]

Your horse is so gorgeous and it is such a beautiful coat. :)

[@miatreadwell1874]

“Uh uh idea is so bad it gave me cancer” that line tho 😂

[@alexheron7691]

I usually let my friends ride my horse, but this one time this really really 'large' (heavy!) friend asked me to ride her (baring in mind my pony is a 14.2 arab) and this girl must have been 200lbs plus!! I always said my horse was lame lol, and when she saw me out and about i was like 'omg she is cured'! Never knew how to say that she is too heavy without upsetting her!

[@maura_the_rose]

Alex Heron That's like me asking my friend to ride her mini. You just have to tell her eventually. I'm all for big riders riding, but they need a horse that can fit them. Riding a horse that's too small is straight up abuse.

[@mayadandridge9962]

My horse don't buck unless there is 4 jumps in a row and she just bucks after every one lol

[@jordanwhite1420]

Loving the video! Have always believed in the honest & direct response myself :) Also reminds me of when we brought our adorable daughter home from China ---- everyone wanted to hold her, but both she and I were having NONE of it!

[@doberman3402]

Someone idk: " can I ride your horse?" Me: " umm" * gets on horse* " sorry I'm riding him rn."

[@marionrees]

"that idea is so bad it gave me cancer" HAHAHA IM DYING THAT'S SOMETHING I WOULD SAY

[@swanzzi3025]

I would say “no sorry he is a bit green and Un-educated, I wouldn’t want u to hurt yourself:)”

[@emmma0808]

In my opinion if you know your horse is suitable to beginners, its a blessing to share that with people. Everyone’s passion with horses starts somewhere and I would love to help someone find theirs. Of course if they are overly cocky or reckless no. But otherwise no harm done.

[@hayis4horsesxx170]

I hate when my friends ask this for any of my horses. Like, no, why can't you accept that? I don't want you riding my horse because you'll scar it for life

[@thesquad4802]

Can I ride your horse He has a badddddd temperament You mean he bucks? More like eats people

[@danw6014]

Hahaha I like it. We say that horse is a barn yard savage.

[@verraa7624]

I wish I could take horse riding lessons.. but I don't live anywhere near any horse trainers. So instead I just play star stable! :D

[@korimoon2356]

Cølli Jamaa Same, the only stable anywhere near me is a therapy place that I volunteer at.

[@camillanegrete24]

SAME😂😂 it's kinda of depressing though😥😥

[@korimoon2356]

Nah Fam turns out I was stupid and there's a bunch around me that I guess I assumed were private owned... Still doesn't change the fact that I'm broke and can't afford them. 🤷

[@marijavunjak5671]

lmao the attitude one was the best lmao 😂

[@GoldenLioness100]

"He's not a lesson horse. If you want to ride, book lessons or find a sharing arrangement"

[@pamelawilson3441]

The last time that someone asked me if they could ride my horse, I had him decked out in pink tack from head to hoof. They begged me to ride him. And I said sure you can if you don't mind riding on a pink saddle. The guy then asked me if either I could change the saddle or if I would allow him to change the saddle. I told him that the only way that he was going to ride my horse, was if he rode him in the tack that I have on him. He begged me more. And I said dude, don't you like women with big boobs? He said yes! I said well then, think pink baby, support breast cancer awareness, and then happily leapt onto my horse, and galloped away. LOL!

[@ellaalvarez1170]

little children think its fun to jump out over his stall door and scare him.

[@makaylaklein6142]

congratulations on 9,000 subs!!

[@sophieweder1944]

you mean he bucks? More like he eats people.... hahah i crying😂

[@verysmolmango6101]

When I was just sharing my horse before I bought him there was another sharer and she was really horrible to me at school being in the year above me. Found out a couple of weeks ago but she's fallen off him eight times and I haven't fallen off him yet- KARMA BITCH

[@abenimichels6294]

This was me when someone was riding my favorite pony in the lesson I was in. I asked him if he wanted her to ride him and he shook his head no. Then I asked if he wanted me to ride him and he licked my hand and nudged me while doing his horse nodding.

[@lola-sq5by]

"sure only if I can drive ur car into a ditch" that's me lol 😂😂😂

[@therealtommyy1504]

Thanks for helping me, My friends came over to my barn the other day and I was in the middle of a jump course when they asked if they could ride my horse, I ended up having to let them, I didn't know these techniques! 😅😆 thanks again

[@Graycata]

do people actually ask to ride other peoples horses? weird...

[@furrybroccoli1973]

I know, I find that so rude! When I was a kid and started riding (didn't have my own horse) the occasional person would offer to lead me around on theirs after they were finished riding. These were big event horses and I was only like 8-10yrs old so it was super exciting for me and would always say thank you after they led me around for 5 mins while their horse cooled off or whatever. But I wouldn't have dared ask them if I could ride their horse! Even as a kid I thought that was sort of a cheeky thing to ask!

[@kaylinoni1598]

Melissa as a horseless, horse lover and an experienced rider I ask all the time.

[@michellelandry431]

it is a bit weird unless i am at a lesson of some sort. but then i let the trainer assign the horse. rode on and off for about five years . but i stopped when i was about 20 and i am 40 now so i would start fresh on a quiet horse and do it in a healthy way.

[@hayis4horsesxx170]

+yamaha is daaa best- ugh, that makes me cringe! I hate when people do that lol no matter if I had taken out the most bombproof horse I have, (which is Pisho, which means kitten bc she's as quiet at one ❤️) I wouldn't let any equestrian/non equestrian next or near it!

[@kaylinoni1598]

as an experienced rider that doesn't have or lease a horse i HATE it when people asume I'm just a little girl wanting to go on a pony ride when I ask to ride their horse. honestly you get to ride your horse almost whenever you want and despite my experience I can't lease a horse so just let me ride your FUCKING horse for 10 minutes

[@saml815]

Okay, but you have to understand that people don't feel comfortable with letting someone they don't know well handle their pet, especially a pet that weighs 1000+ pounds and can literally kill someone. I also have some experience and don't own/lease a horse, but I would never ask to ride somebody's (unless I'm very, very good friends with them) because that's just not very polite. It's not their issue that you can't lease a horse and they shouldn't be guilted into letting you ride when they don't feel comfortable with it. If somebody you didn't know very well came up to you and asked to borrow your car just to drive it around, would you let them?

[@citoyen09]

Wow. There's no way I'd let you near my horse with that attitude.

[@laurenkelly30]

Maybe if you didn't an attitude like that they'd let you ride their horses...People don't have to let you ride their horses. End of story, they might have a very hot horse, or maybe they simply don't want anyone else riding their horse. Don't argue with them and be a brat about it.

[@hayis4horsesxx170]

Oh don't be such a spoiled brat. I don't give a damn if you can't lease a horse, I don't want you near mine. Stop whining like a two year old who couldn't get a toy they wanted. Horses are huge animals who have a mind of their own. I don't care if you have experience with them, you're not riding mine. My horse is more valuable than you're freaking life ten times over. Get the hell over yourself and fix your attitude.

[@avag8425]

What a beautiful horse!

[@citoyen09]

Last time someone asked to ride my horse I said "No, I still like you."

[@loveforhorses514]

Not a fan of bits so i wouldnt even ask to ride him not a fan of helmets either

[@laurenkelly30]

Someone watches Rick Gore..

[@laurenkelly30]

Why aren't you a fan of bits or helmets? Don't even say "because bits hurt the horse" No, it's what bit you use and how soft your hands are. And helmets? They save countless injuries and lives every year. So please, tell me why you aren't a fan of them.

[@featherfanatics9793]

You don't even ride the horse in this video but you still use a huge pain bit.

[@citoyen09]

Yes, the horse is clearly suffering: underweight, poor fitting tack, no fluffy saddle pad, unprotected legs, ears pinned back and snapping at his owner .... oh wait, that's another video.

[@laurenkelly30]

Yes, this horse is clearly in much discomfort. His mouth is opening so much, his ears are flat and look at the whites of his eyes! Owner should be sued with the amount of abuse he is clearly causing!

[@claudiasrandomvideos7097]

Feather Fanatics the horse is wtf are you that stupid

[@Ilovemyboyfriend6969]

You can always say ‘ no sorry ‘ or the attitude cause I like that lol

[@nicoleperkins3384]

People have been very kind to me and let me ride their horse, I have taken my friends pony to an in hand competition. I am an inexperienced rider, and I have been supported in my journey to equestrian life. When my new horse is ready, I will pay it forward. No reason I cant lead kids around the arena, or be there while a more experienced rider just wants time under saddle but not in a position to own one.

[@beckstyles3467]

People think their horses are too good for others to ride when in reality their horse sucks anyway so theyre cringy af

[@kikiv7332]

maybe you shouldnt be riding that horse either with that bit, cruelty with an added touch, the mouth tied shut so no avoidance of the pain from yanking on the reins. Take a little time and train the horse properly and you don't need that thing.

[@madelainecarter8054]

Wait are you saying this to the owner of the person who wants to ride because it's just a bit you haven't ridden him before (most probably) so you don't know what his temperament is like🙃 this isn't hate it's just my Opinion ☺️

[@astrwolf5507]

+Madelaine Carter Bits are never okay to use.

[@madelainecarter8054]

astrwolf there ok to use, if you know how to use them properly.

[@astrwolf5507]

Madelaine Carter Never.

[@madelainecarter8054]

i ride with my horse in a bit, he hates bitless all top eventers use them, they use them properly maybe your just looking at the wrong people in the disaplin. I do not agree with some of the bits western riders use and sometimes I dessagre with my own disaplin but the right people can use them in a unharmful way.

[@rickyrowlesbrown7504]

LOSE THE NOSE BAND!!!!!. If your horse opens its mouth, lose the bit.

[@henriba162]

I agree! The reason horses open their mouth with bit us that it hurts💔

[@faye1845]

Ricky Rowles Brown Lol you havnt ridden English before, have you?

[@hopehoadley8529]

If you remove both bit and nose band the bridle will fall off...

[@Loveburre]

Awesome cat there is bitless alternatives. Which doesn’t equal crap in the horses mouth..

[@claudiasrandomvideos7097]
