I was taught to squeeze before kicking . I hate to kick them it's always been a gentle squeeze

[@pinktiger85ify]

Elizabeth parry me to

[@themikaexpress644]

Same I feel bad about kicking. If I have to though I'll usually just use a crop cuz I feel it's nicer to give them a tap then kick them in the ribs.

[@henriettaharrold6113]

+Elizabeth Parry but when you were like 5 did you think about sqeezing. Thought not.

[@karolinaszafer7429]

Kicking doesn't hurt them ! Your such a twat! And we were doing pony club games and we were trying our best

[@Ruby-kx1xs]

+Elizabeth Parry I've been taught to squeeze to but never in my whole equestrian life I have never kicked a horse or pony

[@Bladescar9999]

They treat the horses as if they're cars! D:

[@sapphireequine1974]

Blade Scar you obviously don’t know about horses because this is completely safe and the horses love it :D

[@kudapooda9993]

So good to see the children having fun at the riding school. Hopefully you all had a great time. And learnt some new skills, try not to kick but squeeze whenever riding.Take Good care and all the best. 🐔

[@TyanneShacklett]

I'm so glad all you commenters have such perfect ponies that never require kicking. I have found that my best horses/ponies for the little ones are the older ones that are a bit "dead" in the side. Of course, when I ride them to "tune them up" they don't have those dead sides, but mysteriously seem to develop them when I put beginners on them. Lesson ponies learn very quickly that a small, inexperienced rider can't make them go fast (well, at least my ponies do - I wish I knew where you found your perfect ponies). I endeavor to teach my students to ride without having to kick the heck out of them, but that takes time and experience before they can make the horses listen without all the kicking or a using riding crop. And give the kids a break, I mean, some of them are such beginners that they have someone leading them! Beautiful, healthy ponies, and kids that are having fun on horseback, makes my heart happy. Don't listen to all the haters out there.

[@encequine9551]

Preach it

[@vkclayton]

no because ponies and horses have a life they can feel that you only kick when they need to go into lets say trot to canter you cant do it all the time this isn't right.You have to treat the ponies properly more than kicking them and scaring them.they have a life ya know.

[@FuzzyDreamin]

Girl with the pink jacket (closest to camera) is so rough to the poor pony...

[@wackymusicvid4216]

She was

[@hannahmarsh9529]

I totally agree!!

[@xx_caitlin_lilly_xx2760]

Totally agree with u guys

[@kirstennewell1965]

I agree too ... I wish I could l lecture those girls (in a polite way) on how to treat a horse with respect 😕

[@itstallie6334]

Yes she was so ruff I don't think she deserves to ride that horse

[@2003breyer]

You don't kick the horse you sit back and squeeze god poor horses :(

[@OhSnapItsErinSayle]

not always.....

[@tinyalsatian4088]

Lola and britney and then if they don't respond you give them a light kick but not like these girls and i totally agree and look the poor horses nosebands

[@briannamercedes4016]

lol to all the comments below- how good of a rider were YOU when you were this young? Little children are taught to kick to make their horse go, because they don't have the strength yet to squeeze. You expect them to ride like they've been doing it for decades. Remember that this is a riding SCHOOL. They are taking LESSONS so they can LEARN TO RIDE.

[@destinybrancheau4474]

+Billie Neeteson When i was 3 years old i would sqeeze and tap the horses to make them go and i was 3 years old!! Horses should be trained to ethier where you just tap lightly or... Sqeeze... You don't kick if you do its only one or twice and NOT hard. So 1. they were kicking the horse hard like very hard 2. if they were able to kick that hard they can sqeeze 3. Sqeezing is not hard even for a 3 year old maybe some 3 year olds can't sqeeze that hard but all you are doing to sqeeze is put your legs together... Horses are responsve...

[@destinybrancheau4474]

+destiny brancheau Or the horses just weren't trained like they were supposed to be.

[@emmakathryn8118]

I feel sorry for those horses..

[@annamiosz9013]

+Emma Decaux Me too ;(

[@lacie.w]

Me too

[@itstallie6334]

[@klaudiaoakdawn7019]

[@vkclayton]

me to they should be treated properly

[@tillypickard8549]

The one on the grey in the purple Can't even ride LOL

[@MrSamckie]

hope you have a great time best wishes.

[@savannahnicole2212]

Are they kicking hard enough poor horse

[@raymondbudd7355]

Savannah Nicole how do u expect a horse to move then

[@equestriandreamer5250]

The correct way is to squeeze not kick

[@rokichuo9960]

Ugh ikr

[@petrichor4704]

I remember I did a version of this on a palomino named lemon and she was a bit of a sensitive horse so when we did rely races ( we were only supposed to trot ) I kicked her to hard and she bolted into a canter. The horse I was up against ( who was being ridden by a new girl that still had to be led ) stood no chance 😂

[@jessstaite5355]

They are so mean to those horse if you agree give this comments a like

[@horsesandguineapigs9409]

Why am I watching this they all snap at the horses. The girl fell of because she was not focacessing on what position she was in. They also kick the horses like it is a life of dirt! You should gently squeeze for a faster trot, canter ect.

[@horse_lover_xx5289]

onced i fell worse than that i fell straight into the side of an indoor arena and just got straight up and it was my instructor that told me to sit down not myself wanting to

[@eqtopics5609]

looks fun I'm going to my pony club games tomorrow can't wait :)

[@kenzieandpip6839]

I think the thing that annoyed me more than it should was the fact that that girl was still crying LONG after she had fallen. I mean sure, cry if you're hurt or scared but she was obviously fine and was crying for attention really. If I cried for longer than I should, my instructor would kick me out of the lesson. 😂 One kid in my old riding club actually got kicked out of the CLUB for being too much of a sook. 😂😂

[@lacie.w]

Oooooo

[@Ruby-kx1xs]

When I fall of I just laugh at myself and get back on!😂the first time I fell of my instructor was really kind and just said it happens☺but when I fall and hurt myself I don't cry like a baby I just get on

[@destinybrancheau4474]

+Ruby Equestrian So do I... xD

[@Ruby-kx1xs]

+destiny brancheau I don't know if it's just me but wasn't so funny when the girl fell of and the pony cantered to his owners XD

[@abrbeauty1019]

Listen people can cry if they want she was probs hurt u don't know can u see she is not hurt

[@104daysofteru]

just HOW can they let the little kids ride on their own if they cant even walk without kicking the poor ponies?! Very patient horses, in our riding club, the horses would kick and buck till the rider is down... They should learn how to RIDE, not how to FORCE the horses to do something... No hate but lead the kids till they know how to squeeze and sit on the pones properly. And another thing... Dont you know that you should not scream near horses? Again, those ponies must be VERY patient... Sorry for my bad English :)

[@hannahmarsh9529]

I agree

[@kirstennewell1965]

Of course we all do the same thing once in a while, but I was a little bugged by how much the girls were kicking in a sort of unprofessional way. Of course other people have different opinions but I think the pony took off because she was kicking the horse to much. My old pony used to take off if I kicked him to much when I was more on the beginner side. Besides that it looks very fun! I wish I did that when I was in pony club!😃

[@deannayoung5311]

On the first game, With the second round group of girls.. Not a fan...truly There Pulling back on the rains😔 While kicking hard is shameful... And see one was truly fed up!!! The ponie was confused your kicking and pulling me what do yu want me to do silly girl???🤨😔 Poor ponies! this is teaching these young girls how to be uncaring to these ponies... Not a fan who ever was leading this!!!😠game playing

[@Bowser2001]

Them horses must have dead sides I don't even squeeze my horse he has been taught to go on certain movements of the feet so I wiggle my feet and he goes he goes on voice too

[@MrSamckie]

thanks I will

[@cleopony3913]

Didn't like the girl pulling her pony in the mouth to make it go backward! You don't pull them like that that to make them go backwards! I think someone could have told her to at least stop pulling backwards

[@xoxhamsterloverxox7881]

Poor ponies all that kicking and whipping :(

[@2003breyer]

OMG this is a sh-- show! Ppl falling off leggs going off the horse and in to the air ppl yelling at horses to GET GOING and yelling kids god I'm glad my pony club isn't like this

[@lucymclelland9682]

It’s not a show it’s just a bit of funny maybe even at a week camp or it’s a school holiday activity

[@jemmatooley7095]

The purple one that fell off made such a big deal out of it tbh she only landed on her bum and her horse weren't going fast, besides she kicked it so hard the poor thing didn't know what to do!

[@eeskm2420]

why do they keeping beating the horses?

[@x.izzy.b.x6111]

teach them kids some respect for horses. pulling on their mouths when turning like that

[@gabrielleminimore1932]

I've been to this riding place it's great there but they didn't teach me to kick horses violently when ur in trot or galloping. They obviously teach the older kids a very diffrent way to the younger ones

[@eqtopics5609]

thanks :)

[@uv_lexi]

2:46 BEEN RIDING FOR 5 YEARS NEVER SEEN A PERSON PULL A HORSE BY IT'S NOSEBAND

[@lucymclelland9682]

I HAVE

[@thatonegirl570]

I wish my PC did this. We just sit around and be bored.

[@hannahmarsh9529]

I feel so sorry for the ponies Everyone is shouting at them, The kids are whipping them totally unnecessarily because they want to win!!!😡 They are also walloping them in the ribs, especially the girl with the green and purple body protector nearest to the camera demonstrated at 13:14 (you should only squeeze, nudge, or give a SMALL kick) The girl who fell off was milking it for attention! Enough said I think!

[@madisondiamond3606]

you guys are mean to the horses i heard someone say "get going get going" in a mean voice to the horse. this must be a bad camp i am glad i am not there

[@horses2850]

So munch hate on such a cute video. People forget these ponies are trained to deal with this- not saying they should. They probably can't feel the kicking! It's just for a bit of fun !

[@averyshadoweagle8980]

Bunny Bottoms Ponies are living creatures and can feel kicking.

[@cybertronicgamer9589]

Avery Shadoweagle you gotta think! Horses kick other horses. And they just take it! We aint got powerful kicks like horses. A horse kicks and they just walk it off a small human Kid aint gonna be nothing to them

[@lewismorrow7054]

I like horsies

[@aimeecoopershowjumping7689]

Kick kick kick , poor ponies, 😥no hate 🤗

[@corinnedelaney6094]

Me to a capl ceiks is anuf to get a throt

[@conarmy9833]

My old riding instructor always kept telling me to kick. All the time! So I left and found a better one

[@averyshadoweagle8980]

Tiger-LilyAndNala Good choice.

[@beautytheunicorn_8933]

Right, I'm not defending these girls but people say "oh i squeeze". Yes thats your way, Not theirs. My cob Benji needs kicking and so does my mare. Although that amount of kicking isn't nessecary! I even dont kick or whip my cob and he's stubbon

[@soundingfiber64_51]

what is the chestnut pony with a blaze called?

[@laurenkerr8088]

He is called chuckles :)

[@inthe_snow569]

It look like the horses have no saddle pads

[@Ruby-kx1xs]

Probably don't have saddle pads :(That place looks really bad and the horses ribs are probs so hurt from being kicked by them horrible girls

[@horseridings6861]

+Ruby Equestrian yeah

[@horseridings6861]

+Ruby Equestrian oh and this is my second KZbin channel name

[@bellaking1201]

They do have saddle pads on you just have to look closely

[@itstallie6334]

Well they do you can see they do

[@horse_love453]

toller Pony Club

[@tintinandsnowy8440]

Notice how all the girls are more concerned about winning instead of the horse? The kicking is driving me crazy, I get that their children but how is this acceptable to all the instructors?

[@pinkpony3204]

IKR atleast U get it

[@equestriangirl2188]

Why aren’t they told that they shouldn’t kick so hard and all the time ? Surly the horse and rider should enjoy everything together? Also I was taught to squeeze up to 3 times if the others didn’t work and then kick or a tap of the whip if none of them worked

[@kandkfamily]

guys remember when they just say walk but the kids just keep on kicking the poor horses and they won't stop and i hate when i see them kicking the horses in the ribs too! who else agrees?

[@equestriangirl1834]

kandkfamily then need to kick the horses to get them going and horses can go like this, slow walk. Walk. Fast walk. Slow trot. Trot. Fast trot. Slow canter. Canter. Fast canter. Slow gallop. Gallop. Fast gallop the horses aren't going fast enough it's a race duh

[@indiaxo6605]

That girl on the chestnut coloured horse with the pink stripey jumper..I was absolutely horrified by how hard and aggressively she kicked that horse!! I feel awful for the horses at this place..never seen anything like it!

[@destinybrancheau4474]

Wow.. There kicking the horse as if its a dirt bag its not a dirt bag its a living breathing animal and I feel bad for whoever's teaching this & for the kids & for the horses Poor horses poor horses :(

[@destinybrancheau4474]

This is torture

[@karolinaszafer7429]

These were young riders! U should watch them ride now! The are competing in the best shows around!

[@erincurrie741]

These people hold showjumping competitions and I go and sometimes of the children doing are really not ready I always feel bad for the ponies

[@shanni_x.7863]

I went to try a pony from here were they made a promise for a price but then the lady asked for £2000 just before we bought her we defiantly changed are mind horrible lot

[@elizabethparry9621]

The girl who fell off was half due to her stirrups being too short

[@elliedugganx6884]

Elizabeth Parry she was unbalanced, these kids shouldn’t be cantering

[@eqtopics5609]

what horse where you on? :)

[@caitlinswifthall4712]

Most of these riders kick their horses long after they move into a canter! When they move into a canter you should be urging them forward with your voice and body. And they are always pulling on their horses mouths while kicking! At my riding place a girl did that a got a whip in her mouth a pulled hard on and she didn't like and and she never did it again and her horse turned out amazing for her! As you can see these riders put their legs back when they are kicking. That is a bad habit that they need to get over, to be a good rider your horse will move with a slight squeeze. That is a bond you make. You never make a bond with a horse when you are pulling hard on its mouth and whipping for not needed reasons. The thing that annoys me the most is that they are growling at their horses and yelling. You should ask them not force them. They are amazing animals and should not be hurt. 'Have fun and Games' Half of this isn't fun to watch! I watched until the girl fell off then stopped. That is her fault why she fell off. She was spooking her mare by waving it around when her horse 'bolted' If I were her I would of dropped that box and calmed down my horse, Got off and showed her what it is. These horses are sick of it you can tell by their body movements. These instructors should have done something about their riding. They shouldn't be playing games like that until they have a bond with that horse. They should have done ground work and not switched riders so suddenly. After you change a rider those people ride differently, the horse would have gotten used to how that rider rides and their way. After a sudden change the horse will be naughty for the new rider. They didn't need those whips on half of those horses! Some gentle kicks and if needed a tap on the shoulder!!

[@lucymclelland9682]

The amount of people straight up trolling these children is astonishing, yes they’re not perfect but neither is anyone and they especially weren’t when they where 7,8,9 kinda ages or having just learnt. This is clearly just a bit of fun at a pony camp or something to do during school time off not a show they’re not to be judged THEY’RE CHILDREN everyone was a child on a pony at some point so there is no need to make a big song and dance about it, ITS NOT ABUSE, so many equestrians throw the word abuse at other equestrians and it’s sickening, abuse is when the horses are in bad living conditions, health problems, don’t get fed or exercised etc. Not just a bit of fun.

[@cyflym11]

Abusing ponies is fun? It's not the children's fault, it's the adults for teaching them to be like that, but it's still abuse. I can understand some of them getting excited during the races but this is sustained for a long time, the ponies don't get five minutes peace from being kicked and dragged around by yanking hands. The worst thing is even the children don't seem to be enjoying it much. The whole event is just grim.

[@harris2181]

I don't mind giving my horse a few kicks to get him to go if he's just being lazy but repeatedly nagging them looks uncomfortable 😣 plus, their already going fast so like seriously stop kicking them if their doing it right!

[@yaraabdulbaki1909]

Wow

[@xoxhamsterloverxox7881]

Poor horses :(

[@karolinaszafer7429]

You know what disgusts me the most? And it's not the video it's the people who have the guts to comment stuff like that about this riding centre. I ride here everyday and it's not at all bad! Those riders are jumping amazingly now! And I bet you weren't anybetter when you guys started riding

[@encequine9551]

Exactly! Gosh some people are so mean and think they are perfect! We all make mistakes, no ones perfect

[@cyflym11]

I've never treated a pony like that in my life. What has jumping got to do with anything? Lots of people can hang on over a jump, that doesn't mean they are in partnership with their horse. Why do people always think that jumping is the only way to measure someone's progress at riding?

[@kimmarks8893]

poor chestnut one with the blaze the fat girl was riding him well done for the rest

[@taylorpearson7957]

What is the little grey pony called

[@hannah._.kendall]

I think it might be Oliver I'm not sure though as I don't ride here often anymore

[@indiaxo6605]

Omg, I would never ever in my wildest dreams kick a horse or whip a horse/pony like that! That is cruel and it’s horrific how they cannot see that! Poor ponies I would never ever be so aggressive like that to a horse/pony I was riding. I don’t write hate ever! But what I’ve just seen has made me sick in my stomach! Especially the way they talk to the ponies..yet again..aggressively saying “get on!! Get on!!” You can even hear the kicking noises against the ponies stomach! This needs to stop.

[@horse_lover_xx5289]

i know u wany yo win but your supposed to incourage your horse k8ck it slightly but not like that yeah your supposed to kick it to get it going but kick it onced or twice softly and encourage it all the time

[@kimberlyequestrian6037]

There is SO many things wrong with this video I cant even begin to explain......

[@kayleemorriss1375]

this is so 😰😰😰 anyone with half a brain would know that you GENTLY SQUEEZE the horse/pony honestly who rides that shocking

[@ellieannaburns2542]

Some horses don't react to just squeezing. 🐎

[@kylie1224]

+Ellieee8405 Horses but u can at least give them a chance with a squeeze instead of a kick straight away

[@ellieannaburns2542]

+kylie 122 yes but if you know they won't go then they will just kick them as they know they won't go to a squeeze it's just one of those things with school ponies and horses, if you owned the horse you could teach the horse to just react to a squeeze but lots of different people ride them so it will just wear off after a while :)

[@cattye.p6211]

do they know how to look after horses?? clearly not!! horses ears back head in the air. little girls breaking the ponies' ribs because they dont know how to use a whip. pulling the top of the nosebands!! areana is as boggy as hell! with what looks to me like half a river at one end! boggy footing can damage there feet! why hold an event in such bad conditions? honestly its common sense. think about your ponies before the kids, the kids dont have to run around barefoot the ponies do! think about safety aswell, the little girl fell off, not one person stopped untill she had gotten back on or been removed from the areana! if she had got kicked!!

[@cattye.p6211]

I honestly can't watch this! it makes me so angry! 😠😠 why would you put something like this on social media?? the little girls don't ask to canter they just kick the hell out of the ponies until they do what they want! and who is that idiotic lady who thinks that it is ok to 1) run after a pony yelling. and 2) hit the pony on the butt while leading it (may I add incorrectly ) when the rider has a whip! !!!

[@karolinaszafer7429]

+C Palmer the arena is not boggy at all and I know because I ride there ! Those riders were all beginners, and yall couldn't ride anybetter I bet

[@hannahmarsh9529]

+Karolina Szafer I would hate to ride there, if I treated the ponies I ride like they are treating theirs, my instructor would have kicked me out ages ago!!

[@abrbeauty1019]

+buck or 2 they don't kick dirt at the horses they r not rubbish thanks I ride there as well and they r just fine

[@hannahmarsh9529]

+Dance And gymnastics did you see how hard they were kicking the ponies, that is crappy riding

[@pheebs713]

Gosh all of these horses are overridden and have become completely desensitised. You can get a horse when I ride into a trot or canter with a squeeze and changing your seat....

[@breyerbaby1728]

why do the 2nd people walk

[@cyflym11]

I think it's walk, trot and canter. If you do it properly you are meant to turn a circle if you break into a trot in the walk part, or a canter in the trot part. It's supposed to teach you more control of the paces because you need to go as fast as you can without breaking stride. Of course it requires a little concentration and communication with your pony, not just frantic kicking and arm waving as we see here!

[@victoriasearle4042]

I have to bacm my horse u when she's naughty but there is a certain way to do it not yank on your horses mouth!

[@laurenkerr8088]

If you haven't got anything nice to say don't say it at all. And it's a riding school is it not obvious there is going to be some people that aren't as experienced as others!

[@kimmarks8893]

What sort of a riding school do you call this? "Go on as fast as you want" like what? These girls were already showing off and then one fell off cause she was being full of herself and acting all hard thinking she was ready to canter one handed! She didn't even look like she was ready to canter with two let alone one. The girl closet to the camera in the second lot with the girl that fell off as to rough. Glad this isn't my pony club. Shut it down.

[@x.izzy.b.x6111]

i noticed the woman pull the white horse by the noseband. just stop.

[@lunaschannel1412]

Did anyone see the girl with pink jods on riding the coloured pony, how she smacked it will the whip, appalling!!!

[@larnaandstar7355]

Theses kids can’t RIDE and u are trying to make them canter/gallop I dont get it

[@x.izzy.b.x6111]

them poor horses

[@equestriangirl1834]

It’s not the best to lead the ponies as the children don’t get the benefit of the game they need to know the basics of riding and the 2nd group was better but maybe teach them NOT to run to the ponies as that could result in the horse getting scared Omg 4:54 that girl hit the horse hard for only to win a game the horse was going fine and the girl was pushing the horse 5:45 the same girl hitting the horse that hard the fall off the girl seemed like she was trying to block the brown horse off so the horse got scared as they were swerving into the horse and the horse got scared and she landed on her bum and she seemed okay I just don’t see why she cried for that long, she should have got up grabbed the horse and ride so that she wouldent be scared to get back up

[@lacie.w]

One of the girls was really mean

[@jayjayburnett4694]

The lil girls can't ride

[@jessiehadland3579]

I feel sorry for the horses they are clearly not happy and there pulling on there mouths they are going to have mouth problems and whipping the horses everything about it is just bad also they didn't need to keep kicking the horses constantly the ponies don't want to move because everything I said before and the horses are only doing it because there the kind of animal that will give in easily

[@tessaleight7067]

Jessie hadland agreed and nearly all of them we're swishing there tails constantly and also who kicks a horse to canter actually who even kicks a horse at all

[@lilyshaw9818]

There only young and not as experienced!

[@maddirogers5998]

these poor ponies jesus these people need to learn how to ride without kicking the pony a million times! 😢😢

[@encequine9551]

And you need to learn to keep your mouth shut. These kids were just having a bit of fun and they didn't even kick that hard. The ponies look very happy and healthy so obviously they are treat well. Grow up.

[@britheequestrian8129]

TrotTo Canter I do agree, but one of the ponies look like its overweight 😂 but atleast they are healthy and not skinny

[@kandkfamily]

i especially don't like that girl with the brown and white horse i hate when she keeps on pulling on the horse's mouth i think her rains are too short
