My favorite thing? Hearing how hard the rider is breathing. I try to explain that riding isn't just sitting there and hanging out. Its a WORKOUT!! 😁 Great video. Love all the treats he's getting at the beginning haha. And people think we abuse and toture horses. Big babies is what they are lol

[@emilyyeadon1505]

Alix King agree a 100% people abuse horses and I thinks it’s cruel I ride a 29 yr old appaloosa and I never abuse him I heard him breathing so hard so I cooled him down so he can get his heart rate back to normal then that was it and he’s still a good horse

[@equinebear7051]

[@JumpingJiggs]

I would love to do this one day! These videos give a great idea of how physically tasking these courses are on both horses and riders. Anyone who thinks riding is easy should take a peek. :) Great work, you are an inspiration to young riders like myself!

[@Abi729]

This really shows that riding is not just sitting there amazing video

[@butterwutterscup]

Yeah! Also if someone’s ever saying that they are plenty of videos to show them it 40% rider and 60% horse. One of my favorite edits about that is ‘You Still Think it’s Easy?’

[@nefferteri2]

I enjoyed watching this horse show, how do you know what a horses physical limits are??

[@willferrell30]

All depends on the horse

[@Ari-o9x]

Horses can be trained to different levels, but usually, they're bred into higher SCP. :)

how many jumping faults did you have at the end?

[@Camelia439]

How high are the jumps?

[@dinaeduplessis6279]

I hate it when people say “riding isn’t a sport” and “it’s so easy.” Threw my years of riding I have experienced refusals, my horse bucking, my horses going completely ballistic and much more. But not ONCE have I fallen off while jumping. (Which still shocks me today even though I have been riding for almost 7 years) Riding is one of the most dangerous sports out there. When parents go sign there kids up for riding they think “oh, riding is safe my kids will be fine,” but no. Each year over 7million people die from riding horses in the United States. It’s crazy how many people believe that riding is safe. You had a great ride!! 👌🏼👍🏼👌🏼👍🏼👌🏼

[@horsesrmylife54]

@mysmakable It's sooooo not easy and takes a REALLY long time to get to this level... but jumping is fun and exciting!

[@SuperSkyhorse]

Hearing the rider's grunts made me remember how I used to think that canter is easy, since you don't even need to post like in trot. I was so wrong. Cantering is a heavy workout for your core and I always breathe heavy as if I was running alongside the horse. We really should make every person who complains that we only "sit on the horse and do nothing" go a round or two in trot and canter...

[@LiveForHorses100]

Am I the only one who put it in full screen and pretended like I was actually riding the horse?

[@ariellaAKA]

It's not easy at all, but it's really fun, you should try it!

[@lizzybelle11]

[@Mossssssssssssssssssssssssssss]

I don't jump but... if you just sit there and your horse misses a stride, your going to fall back, then get thrown forward once the horse lands.

[@butterwutterscup]

Yeah, also depends on your balances ability. Jumping is very dangerous but when your trained enough it won’t be a large problem with strides. Strides are very important yes, but you can fix them quickly long as your counting. Strides are very easy to speed up or slow down. I have gotten thrown because of strides, but that was also when I started jumping.
