@@RandaroniiI'm just speaking as a barrel racer who was a 7 year old when I broke my collar bone doing this exact same thing. THE HORSE DOESN'T NEED HER, but she nor I knew that. Now I have brain injuries at 56. This is dangerous. Thank GOD for that horse. Clearly her parents know that horse well and the horse has barrel raced with another rider. Horses spook easily and we're going so fast at the end with a really really short distance to stop our horse. Imagine if she used her whip at the end? My sister died because someone left a gate open and as soon as her horse hit the pavement IT WAS GAME OVER and that was years ago. She died right on the spot with me watching brain matter pour from her head! I WAS 11! She was 14. I know she wasn't the first to die that way and I'm sure she's not the last. A 6 YEAR OLD ISN'T EXPERIENCED ENOUGH TO REALLY HAVE THAT KIND OF STRENGTH AND CONTROL NEEDED TO BARREL RACE LIKE SHE JUST DID! GOLD MEDAL TO THE HORSE; SHE GETS A SILVER FOR HOLDING ON FOR DEAR LIFE; HER PARENTS ARE LOSERS.

[@WoundedWarrior2012]

You've never been a barrel racer. I did it for 10 years in the rodeo. She's HAS THE POTENTIAL to DIE a legend is what I see but her life will be short like my sisters was. We both started barrel racing really young, too, and my sister died competing at the rodeo. I watched her brain spill from her head. I had to race the next weekend though. And WE WERE YOUNG! My sister didn't live to see her 16th birthday and now I have three traumatic brain injuries and I'm sure my brain will show more damage than any NFL PLAYER. This sport isn't for the faint hearted girls and women. We're daredevils, fearless, and have too much heart. DEADLY COMBINATION BARREL RACING but required to really be good at it.❤

I don't think you should let little kids compete if they are not comfortable to do barrels without straps. What would happen if the straps weren't put on properly? Would the kid fall off, scream and spook the horse? There's an infinite amount of possibilities. At her age I was only cantering barrels and poles.

If you took that little girl off he'd run the same course the same way with no rider at all. It's just facts When I first started doing hunter/jumper the horse I rode in my first couple of schooling shows knew what to do without any input from me. He has been shown for 10+ years in hunter / jumper shows where the difficulty level/ height of the fences isn't comparable in the slightest. It was no coincidence that Rio always won the schooling shows and the shows in the lower levels no matter who the rider was. The horse was just good at his job and knew what to do and had done it so many times before that he literally had the courses memorized.

Even the woman who had him didn't know much about him, of his past I mean, and only her daughter of 15 could catch him and ride him. But my daughter, she was about 10years back then, could get a gentle connection with him so she could pet him a bit on his head. That was it, but we fell in love and we felt....that if we gave him his time he would trust us. And we went back for him, the week after. Again a ride of 4hours to him and back home and the hard work of trusting each other could begin. ☺️ And after Al the effort, he had a beautiful couple of years. The band between him and my daughter was beautiful. He trusted her, very much and so did I. 🥰 I could tell you much more. But now you know a little bit why I said that. ☺️

@@evannahinson7539 He was about 17years old, they said. The woman who had him didn't tell us much of him. She said she didn't know her self, that he was a gift for a foster child of her....but none of the other kids trusted him much. The poor boy didn't felt grass under his hooves for a couple of years. Only his stable and a bit of sand where her daughter ride him sometimes. He had some trust issues and was a bit wild. But my little girl and I felt something good about him and wanted to give him a better home. So a week later we bought him and we invested our time and love in him and they had some beautiful years together. 🥰 We all learnt much of each other.

@@Vee_Hobbys thank you for telling that wonderfull story about how you got your old boy 😊😊 such a heart warming story.

[@Vee_Hobbys]

@@annakhjelm146 yw 😊 horses are the most wonderful pets there are. The band between a horse or a dog or cat is totally different. I can know that too. Because I have a rescue dog, for about 8years now and we have about 1.5years now..... found 2 kittens and we adopted them too. 😅.

[@dyan13lucky]

She's velcroed in and doesn't understand or know how to truly ride. That takes time with a horse your speed.

[@becpico2165]

Let's be honest, it's the horse who is doing the work, she can ride but is simply staying on whilst horse does his thing.

[@Maddiee04]

Before I jump to conclusions, are you talking in general equestrians do nothing? Or just specifically to her? (Her age I mean)

[@gallopinggoddess4994]

This is straight up good parenting and that’s a million dollar equine. Love this.

Wow. I was impressed that Ale of The Warning played bass from 7 yo, but she never risked, breaking her neck like this little girl! ❤

[@wendygood1293]

That's a good horse

[@EmmaEq]

She is an ok rider but maybe take the seatbelt off. If the horse falls, she goes down with or under it. And you can tell without the seatbelt she would fall off. Also this is such an honest horse

[@mollybelmont182]

Wait there was a seat belt?! Why is she competing if she can’t ride without a seat belt that low key dangerous

[@angelmomlively1475]

Little girl is blessed to be riding such an incredibly talented horse! I noticed she is wearing a saddle strap to keep her from falling off shouldn’t she be wearing a helmet and protective vest as well?

[@dinganddoo2]

Definitely agree on the helmet, at very least! Those saddle straps can be dangerous too. If the horse were to fall she may become trapped underneath.

[@kerryharrison3806]

I didn’t even know saddle straps were a thing! I’ve seen many riders saved from potentially serious injuries because they’re thrown/fall clear of a falling horse.

[@territerbilcox7624]

Agreed!!! Absolutely 🥺

[@TheMidnightSoapery]

@@kerryharrison3806 oh they are a thing and they are very very dangerous. In my opinion if a kid can't stay on the horse without being strapped in they they should not be running at that speed.

In order to do this, the writer has to know if they're doing too if the rioter doesn't sit right move right it can slow it down

Lmao do you even ride horses!!!😂😂😂😂🥺❤️🥰 if you did maybe you would realize how hard it is and how much work the rider has to do! 😂

[@Imagine_dreamer]

I honestly hate it when people say that bcs that’s not even true I honestly dont think y’all understand how hard it is to ride! And control every move that horse makes its not easy so she’s doing as much walk as that horse is!

[@the_ethical_horse_girl]

All the ppl here saying that the horse doesn't do all the work and that you don't ride are invalid. I started riding when I was 5, it's been over 12 yrs now and yes, when a girl this young is running patterns the horse surely does 90% of the work, if not more. He doesn't even feel her.

She doesn't need to ask " for speed on the third " or anything else from that horse....he's got it in his heart and loves what he's doing...and he's doing it on his own...amazing horse. She's just trying to hang on for the ride !!! They should be going nuts for that magnificent horse.

[@brookefluharty8672]

She is good but take the seatbelt off because if the horse goes down she goes down with it

[@HopeCreekConnemara]

Yes!!! That’s playing with fire right there. She shouldn’t be going faster than she can safely ride.

Take the seatbelt off and she would have been thrown off going around the first barrel.

Reminds me of the good old times.. I miss the time where I was a kid and our horse still lived.. We understood each other so well we were able to achieve this together.. He was an awesome western horse and so gentle and careful in everything when tiny me was sitting on his back and even tho trusting me enough to lead him correctly through the barrels.
