Try Wives Try Horseback Riding

[@Ashley-ub8sj]

as an equestrian, Barbara's style of teaching is so refreshing. so many trainers forget to emphasize the "be kind to the horse" part of the sport, so I'm so so thankful that she made such a big deal about it. it's supposed to be a partnership, not just the rider demanding the horse do something.

[@recoveringintrovert717]

I've never heard of it termed as a partnership, and I think that's lovely. If you really love your horse, it should be a priority to make sure he/she is comfortable and happy 😊

[@jenniferhiemstra5228]

I’m not an equestrian in the least, and haven’t sat on a horse in YEARS…but like, why would one NOT be kind to the horse?? That always just made sense to me, it’s no secret that they’re sensitive to their riders’ mood! But man, I’m moving to the south next year and I’m officially inspired to do this myself…just as a fun hobby though 🥰 🐎

[@karibaxter5330]

I'm assuming they edited out the bit about the frog when she was having them clean the hooves.

[@jfishxx]

It was also great to see someone who emphasizes teaching people the whole thing, not just riding. The brushing, the tacking up, they even gave Smartee a bath LOL; some riding schools (I've seen it mostly with English-focused schools honestly) have lesson horses pre-tacked, the kids just learn the "buttons" and that's it. I learned from a family friend who was certified, but luckily she taught me everything; on Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays she had ME do the turn-out/turn-in. She's a big reason why I was able to open my own barn eventually. It's so important that riders are taught from the beginning that the care of the horse is important too. Horses aren't tools. They're thinking, feeling animals that deserve respect and care.

[@Tinyvalkyrie410]

@@jenniferhiemstra5228 There are a few reasons. First, because what is considered kindness is by no means universal. Are spurs kind? Are bits (the metal that goes in the mouth)? Are saddles? Are whips? There is not at all a consensus on what is and isn’t kind. The second reason is tradition. Have you heard of the term “breaking” a horse? Or seen videos of cowboys getting on a horse that has never been ridden, and having the horse panic and throw them off in a movie? This is completely unnecessary, but it’s been the traditional way to do things in a lot of disciplines for ages. People just think it’s ok. The third reason is that it’s competitive. When you focus on the competition part of equestrianism rather than the experience as a whole, people tend to take short cuts and lose track of the fact that winning isn’t everything. And the last reason is money. Horses and their upkeep are extremely expensive, so some people end up assuming you can buy that relationship, that they are owed by the horse. Equestrian sports are very diverse, and approaches vary wildly… with varying degrees of kindness and effectiveness.

[@LE123LE123]

I would love to see Matt try Hunters and Ariel try Eventing, but with life, Ariel being a business woman, a Mom and Wife, Matt having work/relationship-fitting in riding can be challenging. Adding to that costs associated with it, and obviously the inherent risk factor. Finding horses that can do more advanced movements is also expensive and requires more than just a day to achieve. I’d love to see old videos of them riding! It would be amazing to see where Matt eventing-I’m on the East Coast (based in Ontario), but I’m guessing Matt did West Coast, and Ariel showed Mid West? I think she showed in college.

[@charlottegreen9581]

I've been riding for about 7 years and have trained mostly in hunters/eq and showjumping and I have come across a few awful trainers. I had one German dressage trainer and she made me feel so shitty about myself and my riding ability that I actually had to take a break from riding. I've also ridden in the UAE and I met a trainer at the same stables that I was training at (not my trainer) that was so awful to his horses and his riders :(. He would actually hit his horses 😡. I had to stop riding there because I couldn't stand how the stables would still allow him to train there when he was treating his horses that disgustingly. Anyways, horses are so incredible and they, along with every other animal, deserve to be treated with kindness and respect 😌.

[@LE123LE123]

I am so sorry you have experienced this. I”ve been in this industry for 40 + yrs, teaching for 30+ yrs. If a trainer or coach is every unethical to you or a horse, you walk away. Remember Safe Sport as well is there to protect athletes. If any one here reading this has been treated with anything but respect, please look up Safe Sport in your area. That is your power and there is no time limit.

[@gabiluch87]

@@charlottegreen9581 anyone who thinks that hitting an animal is good training, should be banned from being around them. Violence from the human only scares the animal and that fear can turn into Agression.. My cousin's trainer once told me that in her experience horses respond better to women than men because women are more gentle. I think that there must be an idea amongst certain trainers that men should be dominating and thus be more aggressive and "alpha" with the horse, and that eventually creates this "preference" for women.

I've noticed the try guys really make an effort to work with POC whenever they do a try video.

[@katelync712]

yes it was very refreshing to see a black woman be so experienced and knowledgeable in the sport. i RARELY see POC equestrians, especially trainers. i agree with so many previous comments that the horse world is lacking extraordinarily in diversity, and does carry on its history of being an elitist sport and not a very welcoming space for POC.

I’m sure they would love that, but they would need to get back into regular riding for that. Riding over fences is about balance and while you don’t forget, you also don’t want to just ‘jump’ back into it without regular lessons, which can be time consuming and costly. Both Matt and Ariel have a lot on their plate, and also they may not wish to jump anymore-it’s a personal choice as riders mature.

When I started learning some reining and horsemanship after 25 years of (mostly bareback) Dressage, it was a whole new bunch of things to try with my pony to see what she'd respond to. And funny enough, after almost 20 years of trying and mostly failing to get her to stop on a dime the English way, I finally learned how after taking some Western lessons. I really found a lot of value in cross-training, as it were, and a lot of things applied both ways and what I knew or learned from one really improved the other. And it turns out my twerp preferred a kind of hybrid between the two, English turning and Western stopping.

They’re so supportive of each other whereas Eugene and Ned are so competitive. We need a vid of all 4 of them together being the best at everything! Also the impromptu photoshoot with Ned taking the pics is so cute !!!

[@berenicesalinas2433]

As a mom of 2 under 2 I got a little emotional when Ariel got “back on the saddle.” All moms know what I mean…I hope she gets to do this more often!

[@MrJohn0fficial]

We can all agree that these videos are never disappointing ❤️

[@lilyvanier-white1467]

I NEVER KNEW THAT ARIEL AND MATT WERE HORSE PEOPLE LIKE ME: I for clarification think this is amazing, I also competed and am an English rider, not as good as Matt, but I used to be on a track similar, I still love horses and riding, even more so when my summer job is in the stables! And this made me so happy and proud of my one sport! :)))))

[@brooklyngrady2660]

equestrian matt and ariel is something i never knew i needed

[@MelissaHillikerNPets]

I love how you guys did it to match their levels. Instead of Ariel and Matt doing the beginner stuff, both groups got to try new things and practice at their level. It also shows us more than if everyone was doing the same thing

I recently went on an all day horseback ride with my Dad and a few friends. It was my second time riding a horse and it was not only really fun, but boy did my body ache later on 😣the horse I had trotted so much I thought my butt was going to become a pancake 🥞 We were also riding in the mountains, so lots of ups and downs as well. I think next time I would want to ride on smoother terrain. It was great regardless 🐴

[@hot8990798]

Horses are a lot of fun! I'm glad they did this video.

[@sandpiperr]

I've ridden a horse once it I thought it was just going to be like muscle aches from the awkward position, but, no, my inner thighs were actually bruised! Like dark purple bruised.

[@hot8990798]

@@sandpiperr ouch!

[@conniecataraestep3255]

So true! If you havent ever ridden or its been awhile your body can get sore after a good ride. People that havent ever ridden dont know it is a workout for the rider as well.

[@hot8990798]

@@conniecataraestep3255 yea some people just don't realise that it's a workout for you too. I started riding when I was a child but I still remember how sore I was after my first ride.

[@kalyssahartley5430]

Eugene wore the same shirt as Matt in the intro for the new without a recipe Boba, they share clothes couple goals so cute lol 🥰😝

[@ImaFreakinUnicorn]

Love love LOVED THIS!! Matt & Ariel's smiles when they let that horse loose! 😁 & Super proud of Becks & Maggie for getting up there! I love my boys but MORE TRY WIVES!!!

[@miaholman4309]

Matt and Ariel both immediately changing to the correct diagonal is my favorite thing

[@kyrasmith7087]

I love how Eugene's boyfriend and Ned's wife are the ones who have experience and are the ones who are going to be good at this. Then Keith's wife and Zach's fiancé are the ones who don't want to do this. Absolute perfection!!!

[@Elyse___Yo]

Really wish we could see Eugene reacting to Matt on a horse. Also we really need a video of the try wives watching a compilation of the try guys talking about their partners.

[@leahklein6814]

Lmao they are exact replicas of their significants! Ariel and Matt (ned and eugene) ride like pros; Maggie and Becky (Zach and keith) are nervous but having a good time!!

[@avaklodt9104]

Ahhhhhh!!! Lmao i NEVER realized that!!!😂

[@maplelump]

Literally watching this at my barn with my horses turned out in the field. My 32 year old horse says you’re doing great 😊

[@guywiththelongcirl]

i love how this isnt just about jumping on and riding but pre and post care as well as technique and guidelines

[@gix9461]

I really like Barbara, she is a kind soul and she has an awesome firmness that makes her a badass! And sorry, I gotta say it, Ariel and Matt were soooo sexy while riding lol such confidence! Loved the video!

[@hannahkerrigan3582]

I love the instructor. Doesn’t sugar coat it but also doesn’t add extra fear

[@skylarashwell1357]

As an equestrian....I'm so happy with this! AHHH Barbra's teaching style is so good!

[@georgehartmann7523]

9:40 Lmao I love how Matt and Ariel smile with knowing and the rest looked just frightened

[@danielleking262]

Oh wow, didn't know Ariel and Matt had past horseback riding experience, they did so awesome!!! Love that Becky and Maggie gave it a shot on the smaller horse too. Barbara was an awesome teacher !!!!!! Very patient, lol

[@lilybird6868]

my favourite part of the video is where it cuts from Ariel and Matt being all professional and cantering around the ring to Barbara asking: "do you want to try without the lead?"

[@habituallysleepy5618]

The way the music switches between Ariel, matt and becky, Maggie is so freaking funny to me.

[@AnimationNerdGirl]

I love that the Try Wives have their own video intro now!! Not gonna lie, the original intro is classic but the Try Wives one is EPIC 💛💛💛💛

[@abigailsmith9619]

THIS is how you do a horse related video on KZbin. Thank you for finding a quality barn, taking a lesson, and doing the appropriate level.

[@FallonMoreno]

This was such a FUN shoot!! the whole cast and crew were SUPER fun to spend the day with!! Thanks for visiting us at Ravnesview ranch

[@aht8548]

This is how you should teach someone horseriding. Doesn't matter if it's a onetime thing and "just" for a video. You still should learn the essentials, the respect for a horse, the responsibility you have for another living creature. It shouldn't be about getting the coolest shots, biggest stunts or fastest pace, which you often see in other youtube videos. I think it was a really great video, because you could really learn something from it, and you could see that they could really learn something from it. It doesn't have to be "spectacular". Just some nice people, respecting the animals and really wanting to learn, not just for show-reasons. Well done!

[@meredithgomes6559]

Becky being afraid but also interested/willing to be kind and careful with the horse is so precious

[@lalop123]

Can’t believe that while Ariel was riding horses, Ned was probably riding Alex. Mmmm mmm mmm, a damn shame!

[@sylviedaggett7945]

As a “horse girl” I just got so happy and screamed when I say the name of the video!!!!!!!!!

[@amelianordskog]

agreed!

[@MadsterMadness]

12:08 - I think Becky wanted her to stop 🤣 Too much all at once!

[@courtz4051]

This just makes me want to get back into horse riding 🥰 did it when I was younger and definitely going to get back into it!

[@jillianj310]

Same, I rode all through college as well. It’s been about 7 years since I’ve been on a horse and this made me want to so badly!

[@fawiatwahab3228]

I want Barbara to teach me, she's so calm and informative

[@Wincingatwindmills]

Ariel reliving her horse girl alternate life brings me so much joy

[@ahschick602]

We need part 2. Seeing Matt and Ariel riding makes me sooo happy and they look so badass!! 😎😎Need more footage! And Becky and Maggie, I would be on the same boat. Never rode a horse before. 😣

[@jmason1770]

Becky's dismount was so cute & funny. When I was in girl scouts our troop went to a horse farm to ride. Sandy was my horse's name.
