NOTIFICATION SQUAD: I think this is the most I've ever suffered for a video. Getting wedged in a shrine and almost killed by a horse. Would you rather ride a horse or go in that cave? But seriously, what a crazy episode. I don't think we've ever had so many bizarre situations pop up in a single Journey Across Japan episode before! I'd also like to apologise to our beloved Dutch viewers for my pronunciation. (ALSO apologies for the later release time this week - KZbin just WOULD NOT process the video. It drove me mad).

Coincidentally , just before taking a short rest after arriving home before watching this video I'd just been to a major cinema in Sydney where I saw the new { American animated } movie : Spirit Untamed. It's about a teenage girl who gets sent to a rural town & she risks her life to save a pack wild horses from being stolen by a gang of thugs. 💂🔛🪅 🤭 ⛔🐎🇯🇵

[@englishatheart]

It knew he has no issue eating them and was like "fuck you!"

[@Fallenangel_85]

Kind of weird that they put a complete amateur on a 6 year old. I could probably sense the fear and then tried to do whatever it wanted.

[@user-ef1xv2qi3k]

Completely agree, but would point out that the horse didn't seem unbroken - I assume what they meant when they said 'untrained' was 'untrained to carry novices on trail rides' (and to a secondary degree, untrained to carry riders who are pulling on the reins way too f* hard). My early riding classes were actually taken on an older pony like this - lovely and placid on the lunge at fair rides etc, but mishandle her reins a little too often and you would immediately discover why her name was "Dancer"😂. Having said that, it's still a huge safety risk to put a novice on a horse with that much attitude. Hopefully the owners have learnt their lesson from this!

[@ChiIIi...]

​​@@Fallenangel_85 It's not necessarily the age that matters that much but the training and their personality. I know two 5 year olds who are the sweetest horses ever and there sure also are 24 year olds that definitely can't carry beginners. Most of the time it comes from just that slight bit of unbalance or too much contact with the mouth that you see a horse that does these trails react like this and of course Chris himself being nervous doesn't help. However this horse should have never been used for these kinds of rides with the way it was behaving.

[@Fallenangel_85]

@@ChiIIi... There is some variation. But if you plan to put lots of untrained strangers onto horses, you want those horses to be dull and docile. I don't think it's a great experience for a younger horse at all. There is ofc also older horses with bad character that will sense a beginner and immediately try to loose him, but that's also a bad horse for this :)

[@pandacorn1761]

As an ex-trail rider guide, that was stressful! I don't know if I would agree with that type of bit (in the horse's mouth) when it comes to trail rides and complete beginners given the reins. That type of bit multiples the pressure because it's leveraged. So when you pull that amount back, it was applying a good amount of pressure and hence why she was backing up so quickly and twitching her head a bit. Usually just a light pull is enough to send a message. It's generally not good for beginners. Beginners are usually put on snaffles (direct pressure) or even hackamore (nothing in the mouth, just headgear). She was also a bit "green" which is an inexperienced / novice horse. 6 years old is young for a trail horse. Sorry you had such a horrible first experience on a horse. But your content has been great and I look forward to every video.

[@ArkeusWolf]

From what little I've worked with horses; At 16:38, it looked like Chris was pulling back on the reins a bit too much. I might be wrong, though, I'm certainly no expert.

[@christopherhughes2211]

[@christopherhughes2211]

@@ArkeusWolf I was thinking the same thing. Rather than trying to get at the grass he was probably applying constant pressure out of his own fear and inexperience and she was trying to loosen up the pressure he was putting onto the bit. It’s been a couple of decades since I’ve ridden frequently and I just have a few seconds of footage so take anything I say with a grain of salt.

I'd like your opinion. I once got on a horse assigned by the nomads in the plains of mongolia, it kept lowering its head to eat while we were waiting to set off and the reins for it seemed particular short compared to other horses. I tried to let it eat, but if i did i would have had to completely let go of the reins, and i was afraid i wouldn't be able to get a hold again. I tried pulling harder on the reins to keep it from trying to graze, but i was afraid of hurting ny hands and also the horse. Do you think it was also a young, untrained horse like the one Chris got?

I am new to your channels. I spent the last 2 days binge watching all of your videos. I have watched a lot of youtube channels and youtubers from Steven Crowder to Bret Weinstien to Abanonded etc., for many years now. You are the best that I have ever seen. ALL criticisims about and against you are total BS. You have a presence and charm that really comes across as personable, presentable, and approachable. You are a great story teller. You have great ideas and an ability to translate them in a way that inspires others to get out there and actually travel. You have a way of inviting your viewers into the travel experience in a way that acutally makes it seem like they are traveling with you. While you show many different aspects and products of Japan for informational purposes you don't heavy hand the situation by actually huckstering the products, like so many other youtubes (i.e. Crowder) do. You don't seem to rely on selling products or promoting companies to get your videos made. Your videos move along smoothly and organically which really adds to their quality. You produce excellent, high quality, videos, which are entertaining, informative and positive, all without selling out and staying true to you message and yourself. You do this with your own efforts, sweat and tears, without relying on big money sponsorship, networks or Hollywood. That is really impressive in this day age. I am going to start supporting you on Patreon. I have always wanted to travel to Japan, but was too intimidated to do so. Because of your videos I now feel that I can go. Thanks for all of your inspiration and good ideas. Don't change a thing. What you have is talent, it is genuine, and not everyone has this. Forget your haters, those who can't do criticize. You are like Anthony Bourdain, back when he did No Reservations, when he was still fresh and untainted by corporate media. You have given me hope again after a very longtime of lockdowns and disappointments. You have shown me a way out with hope of travel to beautiful Japan.

Years of following Chris, and there is nothing more to say than that I eagerly await every single video. Each one is an incredible journey, and I love to live vicariously through him. He has been with me throughout high school, university, and now I am out in the big wide world, but Abroad in Japan has been a constant pleasure of mine to grow up with. Thank you, Chris, for being undoubtedly my favorite, and the single most inspiring content creator, I have ever had the pleasure of following. Keep up the incredible work.

“It’s not a Bengal tiger!” LOL! Watching Chris squeeze through the tori gate: priceless. Why the f*ck would they put the non-rider on the newest horse? That’s a fail. Horses are very sensitive to people’s moods, and the mare probably reflected Chris’s discomfort. Plus: mares can have quite the attitude. Best shot: drone over bridge, gorgeous view of that clear blue water. That was a “Wow,” Natsuke style.
