[@jasminekittenstorm]

You can ride your horse one pavement, just only walk or slow trot, never this fast. The pavement helps the horse's hooves to cut down a bit, this is why horses always hoof the ground because they are trimming their own hooves. but i agree with this not to rider horse on the pavement unless necessarily

[@rosiemacquarrie1705]

The horse sounds like it had shoes on, ice been told only ride on pavment if you have shoes

[@xxKakarot]

I believe he was trying to gain more speed in the trot by kicking the horse but holding him back with the reins at the same time in order to keep the horse from transitioning in a canter. But yeah super dangerous to move with this speed on the pavement, only walking or a soft trot would be safe.

Hi as me being in the racking horse industry let me correct you on some things, 1. Yes concrete is horrible I agree with you there and if his only play to ride is the road the he should have some boots on 2. This is what a proper work out is for horses, if your horse isn’t sweating this much by the end of your ride A. You don’t know how to workout a horse or B. You go to soft on your horse 3. About his seat if you sit straight up when your horse is fast racking/ pacing you’re gonna get launched out of the saddle leaning back is the most comfortable way to ride gaited horses, and my last thing to say is if you don’t know what’s happening then take the time to learn about it before hating

[@jefferythurman6690]

Cause you think the house can't carry a 200lb rider lol

[@TheHyzze]

@@jefferythurman6690 Mate, majority of decent sized horses can carry a 330 lb rider. The issue is, they shouldn't be doing it because it's animal abuse. That being said, saddle used and rider's possition as well is very crucial when it comes to horse's comfort, heath and balance. Usually, you sit up straight, majority of your weitht is focused on first and second third of the saddle and you are supposed to work with your back and especially legs to lessen your weight and help the horse with maintaining good balance. Person in this video (I'm not gonna call him a rider because he's not riding, he's getting carried on top of the horse like a sack of shit he is.) is sitting directly on the very back of the saddle, isn't using his legs to lessen the load therefore all of his weight is contantly bouncing directly on top of horse's spine which is very harmful and painful. Sidenote: A 200lb person can feel like 100 lb on the horse's back if they are riding properly and know how to work their body in the saddle while a 100 lb person who doesn't know how to ride can feel like they are 200 lb because they "ride" like a sack of potatoes.

That guy needs lea sons on how to ride a horse right!I can imagine how much pain that horse is going threw at that time

[@Crazy.brunette.01]

CONCRETE?! THAT CAN BREAK HORSES BONES AND CAN HIRT THERE BACKS!! YOU OBVIOUSLY DONT KNOW HOW TO RIDE!

[@sarahjosephine8263]

Facts.

[@Noni_Gaboni]

This Guy clearly doesn’t know how to ride a horse! This is wrong. He is leaning too much. The bit is tearing his face. And riding the horse on the pavement, could cause chipped hooves or worse. Horses arnt Machines. They have a mind of their own. They don’t have unlimited energy. While he says “WOAH!” He kicks the animal, making him go. To conclude, he don’t know how to ride a horse and you shouldn’t ever treat them like this

[@Isabel-dh8sj]

I understand trotting a few strides on concrete but that’s kinda the end of the limit, the amount of friction put against the horses hooves is outrageous. Please be responsible next time!

[@julia23.23]

0:53 the horse is in pain and wants to galop, how it should be and then the 'rider' just stops the horse and then the horse is in pain again

[@stephanieplatt6138]

I had one of those horses and what i am seeing is animal cruelty

[@laxmijane5202]

You are killing the horse!!

[@jcomm120]

that gait! but going too fast on pavement not cool for their joints + they can slip too easily.

[@omg_its_ali]

There are soooooo many things wrong with this video. 1. The horse's head is WAY too high up, can cause spine problems, and can cause a sway back 2. He is riding way to fast on concrete, which is putting too much pressure on the horses hooves, and can damage the hooves 3. He is way to far back in the saddle, which can be easily fixed, (lessons) 4. He is pulling way to far back on the reins, while kicking the horse on which is sending the horse mixed cues, which again, (lessons) I hope this helps inform people, and helps inform the rider. It is so hard to watch animals being abused by uninformed riders.

[@MaryAnn-x2r]

Isn’t running on pavement hard on their feet and legs or do they wear special shoes to cushion the impact?

[@Todd7694]

when she cantered he puled her really hard, this bit is to harsh and your poster sucks. cantered at (0:54) and at (1:05) he gently hit her also at (1:28) he was kicking her and pulling her giving her mixed signalas!!

[@Palebisi]

@Hailey Curbo you know why she was slowing down? Because he has constant harsh pressure on her mouth because his balance is crap and he's using the reins to stay on. So he's signalling her to stop and then forcing her to keep going. This horse in in so much pain it's difficult to watch

[@hailey2986]

I DONT THINK HE SHOULD BE RIDING THAT HORSE A PAVEMENT. HE DOES NOT KNOW HOW TO RIDE OVERALL

[@som_angel]

I do agree he is leaning way too far back yet at some points he is leaning the correct way. I was looking carefully at his hands on the reins, he wasn't pulling that hard actually. Now riding the horse like this on the concrete in dangerous. In the end he should have leaned forward a bit more not tearing the horses mouth so much to get the animal to slow down. If you want to call the leaning abuse watch walking horse and racking horse competitions. Also watch the standardbred racing. The riders are riding in the back however the horse is going the same way. We have a racer in our town that trains is horses legally on our roads, it's interesting to watch. However he does put the correct shoes on the horses to ensure they don't slip. This horse looks like it is barefoot. When riding a gaited horse going that fast in that running walk, you need to lean back not forward. Especially if you want to gain speed, putting weight towards the front with throw you off balance and throw the horse off. This is coming from someone who owns a Tennessee Walking Horse that is trained as a jumper. (Not saying I lean back when I jumped I just learned these things when first teaching my horse to go over poles and jumps). This horse is obviously gaited, if this horse was a quarter horse (or any other non-gaited breed) then I would be worried.

[@viktornikiforov3602]

Bro it doesnt matter if you look cool or badass, at the end of the day youre hurting that animal by riding it like that. nobody worth impressing is going to be impressed.

[@karenharwood3320]

Looks like he just started to ride.. Poor horses hooves

[@lesleysprake1045]

I honestly do not know what to think of that??? Abusing the horse to work that way or is he just showing what it can do?? I don’t know??

[@niamhmcmillan5099]
