Sianna & Cessna - 3 year old girl riding 16.3 hand horse

Short vidoe of my 3 year old daughter Sianna riding Cessna a 6 year old Thoroughbred / Draft Cross mare. She is 16.3 hands. Cessna is my husband's horse, but this summer Sianna's horse came up lame (not Lady) and we had to improvise...Sianna does awesome with Cessna and even though we have Lady back Sianna has continued to ride Cessna. They are now riding in the big arena with out any assistance at all. To all that have commented about the helmet. Sianna is required to wear a helmet every time she rides. She was riding Lady right before we did this video and I missed it that she took the helmet off. It was super hot and she must have set the helmet by the gate. Please keep the comments on this video professional and no bad language. Thank you.

@@EliannaCH people can make their own choices... but when you're taking care of small children, being responsible about safety can't be "forgotten". Would you let your toddler climb all over the back of the car while traveling highway speed? Forget to buckle them into their car seat because they're having too much "fun"? Would you not bother to safety check your parachute before sky diving because your too busy enjoying the moment? There's a point where it becomes reckles endangerment. Choose your own risks... but don't put small children in danger.

But I know it was stupid of me to forget my friend wasn't wearing a helmet, because that is a rule when you are riding on my horse, especially on my property. I wouldn't let a kid climb up on the top of a car while driving, because that would be STUPID if I did😂 And I DO make sure my younger brother is wearing a helmet when he rides, but my friend was old enough to chose to be stupid and not wear a helmet. But I'm trying to make sure that I don't forget to wear a helmet, and I have never let my younger brothers on a horse without a helmet, after falling and being trampled the helmets what kept me safe😄 Yes it was dumb, and I hope that the other people felt stupid enough that they would never forget to have there kid wear a helmet

[@baskervillebee5748]

Some horses are born to love kids. When a horse is properly trained to follow instructions, it doesn't matter how big (or small) the horseman is as long as the horse knows who's the boss. Remember horses run away from fear. This horse is receiving clear directions in a familiar routine. It's confident of no abuse and has no need to defend itself. Good job, mom. Nice horse.

Sabrina L. Williams So True! I totally agree with you. I know a girl who never wanted to wear a helmet when she were riding her horse. We all said to her that it would be a very good idea to wear a helmet... But she would not listen. She said that she trusted her horse and that a helmet would make her look ugly and stupid. Long story short: One day when she was riding her horse, the horse got scared of something. She got thrown of her horse and she landed head first. As always she didn't have a helmet on... She ended up in the hospital (in a coma) for a very very long time fighting for her life. Today she is disabled and has difficulties with walking, talking, memory etc. Sorry for my looong answer 🙂 Just felt like I had to share her story.

[@MaritsView]

She should definitely wear protection. It is a little more safe But it is sadly enough not gonna make someone invincible. If the horse would turn during lounging and kick her she'd be very badly hurt or even killed. :( The helmet isn't gonna protect her if she gets kicked or reared on Body protection could be better but still you're not 100% safe though. That's like someone saying I have a airbag in my car l can never get hurt If you drive with 100 miles a hour into a wall you're not gonna survive :( that airbag ain't gonna protect you :( But l definitely would say give her protection so atleast she's a little more safe.

To people who yell about that girl who rides without a helmet on and are scared that horse might hurt her. That horse was trained to deal with children like her and she herself has most probably been riding all her life. I grew up riding horses myself and I am proud to purchase a horse that I can ride with no helmet on and feel safe. For some of us who ride we love to feel the wind in our hair. So everyone who is worried or freaking out just leave the poor mother and kid alone as they know what their doing. I applaud this girl and would love to meet her and ride with her oh horseback as she is showing that people think you need all these things trying to make it "safe". IT WILL NEVER R BE SAFE UNLESS YOU TRUST YOUR HORSE AND BELIEVE!

[@bidybabsl5225]

Ink sings ok I understand where your coming from but she does not need to be on a 16.3 mare, just because the horse is "trained" to handle small children does not mean it could spook while she's on her back and the mare could crush her. She needs to be put on a Shetland or highland pony, any pony or horse that is not stupidly tall.

To all those who keep saying ( some rudely) "read the description!": so the wee girl removed her helmet due to heat discomfort, yes.

[@gamersouthern9971]

To all haters: I agree, helmets are good. But this child is learning valuable things, such as how to use her muscles, to trust animals, even if they are bigger than her, and how to forge bonds of friendship. Plus, this is a good stimulator for a child that young. On another note, read the horse's body language. She's saying "I will do as I am asked, and I will make sure my rider stays on my back because I care about her and that's what I'm trained to do. Parenting win!!

[@erynlasgalen1949]

Gamer Southern99 Helmets are good, but they are a mixed blessing. I learned to ride, western style, in 1960 at the age of ten. Helmets weren't a big thing back then, obviously, except in high risk riding like jumping, racing, etc. I fell off so many times I stopped counting, and I never once hit my head. I had learned to tuck one shoulder under and roll. A helmet will make you slightly less flexible and changes your center of balance, which may turn a head injury into a spine injury. Riding helmets don't affect your hearing and peripheral vision as badly as a motorcycle helmet but . . . I think a helmet should be a personal decision based on the terrain and the style of riding,

[@gamersouthern9971]

That's fine, it's your choice, but I have always been taught to wear a helmet.

[@MielieMouse]

Amelia Veary Doesn't matter. Every time a kid gets on a horse, she should have a helmet on. It only takes one fall to end a life or change it forever.

[@dianabravestorm3004]

Amelia Veary thats no exuse!

[@MielieMouse]

Diana Bravestorm I know that but I'm 14 and iv been riding horses my whole life and never once have I got to a serious injury and the only time I don't wear a helmet is when grooming and swimming with my horse because we can under water and my helmet will get wet

[@ElleCasey]

Amelia Veary Okay, so following your reasoning ... since you've never been in a car accident by age 14, you will always be safe in a car and don't need to wear a seatbelt. Since you've never been kissed by age 14, you will die an old lady never having kissed a man. Since you've never had a paying job by age 14, you will always be unemployed. I think you see where I'm going with this. There's a reason why any barn that wants insurance must insist that all minors wear helmets. It's because actuaries (the experts who study statistics on horseriding accidents - FACTS) can show you that if you don't wear a helmet, you are at significant risk of being badly injured or killed by not wearing a helmet when riding horses. EVERYONE who rides horses eventually falls from a horse. You do not decide when it happens, where it happens, or how you come off or how you land. All you can do is protect yourself for the time that it does happen. And the reason why the law is only for minor kids is because kids have a tendency to believe they are immortal and that nothing can happen to them. They have not yet developed that part of their brain yet that tells them when something is dangerous. Older usually equals wiser, but for the adults who don't wear helmets, the insurance company knows they make that decision with the brain to realize they could die from it. If an adult wants to take a risk, he can. A kid can't make the rational decision to do that, so the insurance companies make it for them (just in case the adults in their lives are too ignorant to make the decision for them). So I'm going to say it again: Lady in this video, please always make sure your adorable girl is wearing a helmet any time she's on a horse, no matter how hot or sweaty she is. A hot and sweaty head is ever so much better than a fractured skull, a concussion, or death.

[@sittingturtleduck]

Ignore all the people saying she needs a helmet. That's a personal decision. I say definitely put one on beginners, but she's clearly not. Now, u can fall and get hurt beginner or not, but helmets don't usually save u. they DO however lead u to do things u wouldn't normally do. "Oh, well, I'm wearing a helmet". Guess what? I have 7 Friends of mine in the past, they went off riding together and tried cross country, alone together, no trainer of anything. Guns went off in distance and all horses spooked, flew over a ditch. All horses were fine, one had a bruised hoof tho. Three of those seven friends of mine? KILLED. All of them were wearing helmets. I asked the doctor, said two of the three were head injuries that killed them. I wasn't super close, but still, sad. So I understand wanting to wear a helmet, because IT CAN save u in certain situations. But sometimes not...like there was this u tube video of this girl, she told us about this injury that she had. She exercises horses. She took a racehorse, who was safe, and rode him around. Well a horse several feet away spooked him, and he slipped and fell on the girl. She would have been fine, her doctor said, but the helmet crushed into her head (ewwwww), because the horse put his weight on the part of the helmet in the front that sticks out. Her doctor said she wouldn't have had such a bad concussion if it weren't for her helmet. So to wrap things up, SHUT THE HECK UP PEOPLE! It's a personally decision, and you are (seriously) practically BULLYING people into trying to get them to wear helmets, so just stop! U barn witches...

[@vs52217]

Wow great riding ! Only thing I would do as a parent is put a helmet and a chest guard on ! No matter what you are still dealing with a Animal u can never be to careful!!

[@amberblyledge7859]

Mares I know always love Human Foals. They take care of them.

[@galactic-hamster7043]

The woman who owns the barn i ride at had a mare named danika, easily the biggest horse there, and an absolute sweetie. When she was pregnant with her first foal we had a sort of baby shower, wjere we brought her out for everyone to feel the bump, and that mare's nose was on all the little kids heads 😂 she loves children

[@AK-jt7kh]

Aww this is so sweet! Thanks for sharing that knowledge with us. I don’t have much exposure to horses but I love them

[@Trakehner20]

She's better than most adults I've seen ride...she doesn't even hang on the reins, and knows exact timing for release of pressure. Smart girl.

[@alexandrametkemeyer3189]

Unmöglich so was ich finde es zwar toll das die kleine schon so was kann aber als Mutter da zu stehen und das Kind ohne helm reiten zu lassen ist unmöglich zudem ist meiner Meinung nach das Pferd viel viel zu groß also die hätte auch auf einem Shetty reiten können 😑

[@marcomyunicorn8147]

meine Pferdewelt lass sie doch.. wenn sie das Pferd schon gut kennt und mit dem klar kommt ist das doch ihre Entscheidung

[@lenihaiser4559]

Marco My Unicorn ja aber das risiko? pferde sind fluchttuere und JA ich reite ich weiss das sie doch eigendlich inmer brav sind und ausreden nach einem unfall wie „das hat er/sie noch nie gemacht“ hört man auch tagtäglich‘n

[@sophier.1254]

Wollte wohl mit ihrer unverantwortlichkeit angeben, ich kann es ebenfalls nicht nachvollziehen

[@sternchen3754]

Die Mutter ist gleich nebenbei und eine Reiterin hinten an, das roundpen gut abgesichert. Helm, wäre gut aber schützt auch nicht vor allem (pferdetritt in den brustbereich). Finde es schön wie locker flockig sie mit dem Pferd umgeht ohne groß nachzudenken. Passieren kann immer und überall etwas.

[@MariaS-nx4hu]

Awwwwe so cute. Haha I would be scared shitless if I was her age on that big of a horse hahaha. Really good balance. Well done 😄😄

[@weenacfeegle3086]

Good horse sense and good human sense. Your lass is very talented, and the horse is a good teacher and very gentle. Thank you for sharing.

[@coronaskeepsake3085]

Helmets actually cause worst head injuries. Anyways, she is an amazing little rider ^_^

[@netherfeathersminecraft6227]

I noticed some people are saying you don't need to wear a helmet if you trust your horse: I would never ride my main lesson horse without a helmet, even though I'm not allowed to in my English riding lessons. The horse, Flash, is super sweet and unbelievably safe, but one time I almost fell off because he TRIPPED at a canter. He didn't buck, his foot went into a small rut in the outdoor arena. I'm just trying to say that anything can happen even on a horse you trust.

[@MielieMouse]

Please before commenting read the description

[@bsnhilow]

Amelia Veary Lost a friend (and wonderful horse person) because of a freak accident she had nothing to do with. All riders should have helmets on - young and old alike, hot or not. You do a fantastic job as a mom, giving her this opportunity and teaching your little angel how to handle horses. Protect her first and foremost!! You would forever regret if anything happened to your sweet baby.

[@MielieMouse]

Yeah

[@lisa-marie4161]

A helmet DO save lives! Own experience. 'read the description' they say, but it does not matter if its hot or not. If it were too hot, this sweet girl have gone for a ride on anoter day or a bit later.

[@MielieMouse]

A Lowe I'm 13 and Iv been riding all my life so I don't have kids

[@LadyVader]

Lovely to see such a young lady knowing how to work with horses, and such a nicely-behaved horse enjoying the company of a child!

[@georginamelly4721]

I do think the child would benefit from a helmet, however I just want to say that the little girl is crazy talented.... Just 3 years old and can ride better than some of the shitty riders at my riding school

[@kaleighcurry3683]

Oh my gosh im much older than her and I don't even know how to canter xD

[@alexiamariespann1854]

That is amazing

[@alexiamariespann1854]

All my little brother can do I trash stuff and get on my nerves

[@zurisreptiles5239]

JUST DO IT. I was afraid to canter but I promise you are more likely to fall of at a trot 😂😂😂

[@hannahmulder6502]

Kaleigh Curry okay, that's cool. maybe it's the difference between how you grew up? here, I'll tell ya, just do it! after you did it you'll be thinking: what was I making all this fuss about? but really, don't do it if you're really scared for some reason XD

[@kaleighcurry3683]

I know how to trot but I take lessons and im close to cantering. I have to ride 10 different horses before I can canter

[@gailh589]

I would be so proud of this little girl she is a natural I was riding on my own when I was 5 but I wasn't as confident as this young lady, she is really going to do something with her life when shes older. Good luck to her and the caring parents . xxxxx

[@RenLaCroixJingler]

How did you start her training with the horse? I am expecting and I would love to start her with my mare when she comes

[@kimalbrecht3424]

i taught my daughter to ride when she was three, but she wore a helmet. and she in neither spoiled or rude.....Hors3keep3r.

[@momatomic]

That is just way too cute, Sianna! You have a new fan! You remind me of me- only at that age, I couldn't get the adults to hand me the reins..which insulted me. So, I would sneak ride the horses. I was a pro before they considered me a beginner. I made makeshift bridles out of baling twine, and the horses would get next to the fence and let me climb on. They seemed to have as much fun as I did. Most of my sneak riding was not in a corral, it was in a wooded acreage with streams, irrigation ditches, fallen trees (my favorite mounting sites) and open pasture. These are the best memories of my life, and also my two horses Geraldine, a jet black TB mare, and Bobbito a very colorful Appy gelding. They were my dream horses. They are gone now, but lived to be very old. Geraldine was 33 and Bobbito was 31. I had them all their life. Their parents were some of the horses I was sneak riding in that pasture!

[@lillythecobxpintaloosa5833]

Aaawww u must be so proud of her well done 😀

[@LaurenBGrossman]

I think it's awesome. But I really wish she wore a helmet.

[@maryhennessey4284]

That horse is worth a billion dollars, I don't care how many buckles saddles and world championships a horse that will take care of babies is priceless. I am sure we will be seeing this little one at the finales. anyone want to bet??? Good Job MOM, Sincerely Mary K. Hennessey

[@Mauamone]

Dat seat doe, is this a future Alicia Burton right here?

[@samisavinhorses]

You are such a good rider! Please put a helmet on!

[@phaedrebombastic9434]

what a lucky little girl! to have such an amazing horse to ride! i cant believe this horse is only 6 years old.good job mom!!

[@aronsraj9616]

One very obedient horse and one very brave little girl.. Did she call canter lobe?

[@all_american_breeds1723]

its a lope its a western term for a canter but she mixes her English and western terminology up because a western trot is a jog

[@SheilaHouse]

+Erna Sraj In Western style they 'lope. '

[@prossertv3684]

Western lope is a little slower than English canter like Jog is alittle slower than trot but still faster than the gait before it. Lope and Jog are slower to conserve energy but still cover more ground this was important for ranchers who traveled long distances herding cattle.

[@pureequestrian5700]

Lope. Western term for canter

[@pureequestrian5700]

kately lately Nope... all horses have the same gaits, no matter what discipline they do. They have walk, jog/trot, canter/lope, and gallop. Their anatomy isn't different just because they do different things

[@justanotherhorsegirl1494]

TO ALL THE PEOPLE TALKING ABOUT HER NOT HAVING A HELMET, READ THE DESCRIPTION!!

[@sonyaparker3258]

I know!!..I understand the need for a helmet, but as you say..if folks had read the description all would have been clear. And as the description also says...keep the language nice..the mum must have to edit anything she tells her daughter..what a shame!! X

[@bjsimmons58]

Sweet, gentle horse, so adorable!

[@willowstonesea1492]

I cant lope without my horse bucking me off

[@autumn-eq1kc]

Willow Stonesea same. Lol nice pfp

[@willowstonesea1492]

Miranda SpringBall thx!

[@willowstonesea1492]

Miranda SpringBall I loped the other day without my horse bucking me off. Yay!

[@coragreer4426]

You should get your horse checked for kissing spine or ulcers and maybe check your saddle it might not fit

[@carlota4587]

for one second i thought she was gonna tell him to sit, she had himk so controlled

[@figuringthingsout8080]

Ahhhh that child is fearless. She's going somewhere in life, there's for sure. Well done!!!

[@sophiedavies5071]

That little girl is so amazing I'm so jealous

[@laurenbivins7056]

Ok so I know I'm late in replaying on this but I went through I the majority of the comments or hate. I have been riding all my life my mother is A trainer I jump I do dressage and I do western pleasure I know that all states do not have a law for the requirement for a helmet. I know that it may seem taboo for her not to have a helmet on but are you can see the horse is quite calm and she also has other people with her so it is really up to her parents if they let her wear a helmet or not and the thing with body protectors at those things do not help their clunky and they actually make me feel uncomfortable while riding and I feel unstable and I was taught bareback onA horse this size. And I think it is rude for people to comment about her mother making a bad choice of not making her wear a helmet.

[@terrylee2609]

+Lauren Bivins People are crazy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!......Wonder why the law doesn't bring charges of child endangerment?.....If that horse, gets spooked, for any reason, and rares up and comes down on the child, she very well, could be killed....Also, if the horse get's scared and really hyper, he will start bucking wildly and stomping anything around him...That is a natural defensive responce in horses, no matter how calm or trained the horse may be, His involuntary, natural, defensive instincs will come out.....If that happen, the little girl would be, more than likely, stomped to death.....all it would take would be one crushing blow.....tw PS....remember, she is only 3!!!

[@thaisonmitchell6407]

+Terry Lee if the horse goes crazy (which I do not see happening at all) a helmet IS NOT GOING TO HELP HER.

[@terrylee2609]

+Thaison Mitchell ,,,,,I agree, whats a helmet going to do?...Not a damn thing

[@samadhi5757]

In that case, no child would ever ride any horse or pony without body armor, a helmet with full face masks and steel toed boots. Really? Do you have horses yourself? Do you ride? And if yes, I suppose every time you get on you must wear a body vest, a helmet, and ride in fear of the horse going crazy, rearing up, bucking wildly and getting stomped to death. Thank the Lord I don't ride in such fear. Stay safe on your sofa. And by the way, the little girl is much older now- the video was done in 2011 and she's alive and well.

[@terrylee2609]

I don't have to wear safety gear, I'm not a small child.....I'm an adult

[@casperdavis3916]

I love how she tries her best with the horse and how the horse tries to understand everything she does! The horse I ride would take advantage and just stand there lol

[@kearralee8701]

so adorable! xxx And for all of you who are commenting about the helmet read the description... And its their choice whether she wears a helmet its none of your business!
