[@melanieselin4187]

I can't stand people who use violence on their animals. Really? You lose your reins and balance after a jump and then smack the horse with a whip because it stopped before the next one? Some horses feel that you are no longer in control and then don't want to go forward. Maybe because they are tired, maybe because they don't feel the need to listen to you then or they wait for other instructions. You are the leader. And you should never loose your temper. If a horse stops it's your fault. When you are dealing with an animal it is your fault and your responsibility. People can be so cruel. Humans really are the most damaging species.

[@katyw6680]

I agree, when a horse stops it is always the riders fault. I don't understand why riders get angry when a horse stops if their reins are long and legs and stable, or they're flopping everywhere!! It's disgusting to watch riders abuse horses for their own mistakes, fix it before taking it out on an animal.

I've had 2 and you'd be surprised how many horse people actually correct you when using gentle methods. "You need to show him who's boss!" "You're going to get yourself killed if you train in the pasture instead of up by the barn with all the scary noises" I've witnessed so much abuse it's literally sent me home in tears. I live horses, but I'm wary of horse people until I see how their horse likes them without a halter on.

[@noodlepoodle3582]

Kaytie Buckhalt When I was younger and I took riding lessons (I’ve since had to stop unfortunately), one of my first teachers would encourage us to get the horse moving by saying “Break its ribs”. I was young and didn’t have much muscle in my legs but she would say that to her older students too. I later changed to a different teacher who focused more on making a connection between the rider and the horse and getting us to trust one another. The difference in the horses’ temperments was astonishing.

It’s the biggest ick when people say this. she may say “good boy” but you have no idea what she may be doing to the horse at the barn (just using as an example i doubt she does) Some people really get frustrated at their horse once they get home from an unsuccessful competition. Dont assume things when you dont know what they actually do in real life.

[@justanotherhuman4907]

To the lady that pat her horse after it refused the jump I say a thank you cause I’m kinda sick of the people beating their horse’s hind for not feeling comfortable and safe to go over the jump. This is at 7:39.

[@isahohemann9324]

2:40 such a bad rider, why does she think her horse is going to jump like that

[@katie.and.onyx.]

Some of these horses really didnt want to do the jumps and they bassically got abused but can we all pls appreciate the girl at 8:22 who fell off and got straight up and patted her horse and checked he /her was ok before even thinkng about herself these are the pple we need in life❤️❤️🐴🐴

[@madisonkoziol3528]

Like why did you freaking kill the horse and the horse is being so good! I hope she is not allowed to have horses!

[@katedutchie]

It's okay to give your horse a tap with the crop for encouragement to get them going. But it is totally unnecessary and cruel to smack you horse with a whip! It's good to see some riders respect their horses by letting them get a look a the jumps, giving them a pat or "good boy/girl", or allowing them to get a brief breather before trying the jump again!

[@gabbylozuna5839]

Ikr it's not a cruel whip ment for punishment just encourege

5:19 this man is literally just the worst I’ve ever seen someone treat their horse if not comfortable with jumping over something, I feel so bad for the poor horse 🥺

04:00 Most beautiful distance ever ridden!!!!

[@olinekrutzen7121]

It goes like that if you sitt down in the saddle when jumping🙃

[@karkapkan]

The worst thing is the croud cheering on for the riders as they literally abuse their horses by hitting them

[@jay-ts8ux]

Simply Creepy yeahhhh! When riders do it well without tapping the horse they get less applause what?

[@anncommanda2060]

Most of the times when they applauded them and they used to whip the Whip was used correctly at that to remind the horse didn't forward off the leg I am sick of of non equestrians villainizing anyone who needs aids to help them horses can sometimes be a little bit deaf the Whip and Spurs helps them hear like stronger bits sometimes you just need something to make it to man a little bit louder and I too would have kept my mare before that first jump it's very difficult with the horse can't see the landing and its water horses don't have depth perception so it's very scary which is why you have to let them trust you and if they don't you have to be very slow and gentle

[@concretekissez]

Edie Flurry some of them cracked them repeatedly which is not the correct thing to do, one tap is fine. The sound of the crop does sometimes encourage them but it is alot smarter to hit the boot, or something that wont put the horse in slight pain. They have very thin skin and their nerves sit on top of the layers. Cracking the horse multiple times hard is not going to get a rider anywhere, it will cause the horse to be fearful of the rider

She really yanked on that horses face in the beginning

[@mintycocoarts]

@Michael Burkinshaw At the end she gave the horse 2 at the end but it was gentle, the first 2 were hard but more gentle than those other disgusting girls

[@mintycocoarts]

@Michael Burkinshaw WOAH WOAH, no no no >:0 No horse should deserve that

[@mintycocoarts]

@Michael Burkinshaw The horse was jumping fine, no horse ever needs to be abused. Only gentle whips is fine but not loud violent ones. No offence but you are rude and a discrase to the human race >:( You never abuse animals

[@mythevekf3655]

6:05 just held on to the reins when the horse was clearly startled. no offense and I know I will never be as good as some of these riders but jeez come on let go of the reins

[@retro2546]

Its an instinct.

[@cully2187]

@@retro2546 and to add on to that she probably didn’t want her horse running away and disturbing the upcoming riders
