They say it’s easy because they have never gone through scrubbing water buckets riding for hours in the scorching heat and hours of endless work and frustration.
I understand people who say it's easy. They only see the perfect, beautiful moments of this sport. They can't see those practice moments, they can't see the hours of sweat, tears and rust... And that's what has to change, not their opinion in the first place, but their point of view. love ya'll
Very true. My mom rode a chestnut gelding and his name was Cessna. One time they were practicing jumps in the arena at her barn and she was knocked off and she knocked the wind out of herself for 4 minutes. But after that, she got back on. Also one time she fell off and hurt her leg, but she also got back on. Even if people say “I can get on a horse and do very good” They don’t know what we go through.
They say it's easy because they are stupid enough to not know how to work in a team. A team of yourself and a four legged creature that can kill you with one possible kick...
My instructor's sister was in hospital for a week due to being kicked, and she still loves (and spoils) her horse, which just shows the power in these horses but the bond between horse and rider.
I have put my life into a mare that is very mean but I love her. She is very Finnicky I felt like she was about to die when I she fell to the ground on the cross tie
my mom says football is "just a bunch of men in tights chasing a ball." I don't watch the super bowl because it's a waste of time when instead I could be riding.
After watching this video and seeing the riders in the background fall and so did their horses, I really don’t want to fall bit I know eventually one day I will, that’s how scary it is, you know that you will fall off your horse and you know your horse will fall, you know you will get injured, those non-equestrians that thinks it is easy never thought they will get injured or even die
I am perfectly fine with falling off of the horse, but when the horse falls too, I am just thinking of all possible injuries and outcomes, it's terrifying
Never give up ! My sister sadly did have to due to jumping and falling head first into a cross country jump . But even after she is Adamant she will ride again so afew weeks later ! … she is back up and jumping those same jumps ! With me again ❤
Literally whenever my friends see my horses leg touch a jump, me falling of or my horse spooking they will laugh and say "I could do that with ease, I am basically a professional" ( does one trail ride with me holding the reins 🙄) loved the video though....
for riding horses, you give your horse a trust, heart, you and your LIFE. it's his choice what he will do with you when your on him, it's fucking dangerous but i ALWAYS loved that danger.
I agree, by one mistake could cost our lives. It's NOT easy. They see what's on TV not the hours and hours of training they don't see that if you get upset the horse does.
0:57 ' Because NOBODY understands what an equestrian does...' For starters their is always a bond before you even think of getting on the horse. It's not all dressage , show jumping, cross country ect ... There is grooming them tacking up and even the mucking out
I think you’re very right because some of my friends don’t even think that writing is a sport and do you think well they just don’t think about how you can almost done almost die and at one point when I phone off my pony I couldn’t breathe for a minute well more like for a few seconds but still I have two other friends that ride horses and I bet they feel the same
All these people who are like..... OoH It's EaSy No SKiLl iNvOlvED They are jealous because we are capable of so much horsey girls!!! I would like to see them last 5 seconds on a horse!
I know I'm commenting late but when non equestrians ride they have it easy all they have to do is sit there as some one else guides them they don't go threw the hourless amount of work we go through they don't feel the pain or scared of getting back ok after being bucked off
I hate it when people say equestrians just sit on the horse and do nothing. And that the horse does all the work. Of course the horse is doing a lot of work, but we are doing a lot too. They don't understand all the mucking out, falls, and getting hurt badly. Sadly, people believe that it is easy, but it's not the truth.
My friend said that horse riding isn’t a sport when he has, rides, and jumps horses himself. Like dude, how do you ride horses but think it’s easy? Are you okay? I think he was just saying it to get my attention though. That’s totally something he would do.
Yesterday I was at the may 2021 horse show and I was doing ground poles and the henovarian I was riding spooked she centered and I had one foot out the stuirup and I almost fell of if I had fell I would be in the hospital she was a big tall horse
Juist! Zo is 't.... Ik zit ook op paardrijden. Maar ben er nog nooit af gevallen. Ik doe erg mijn best om de pony's GEEN pijn te doen! Soms moet dat van de instructeur. Dat vind ik zielig
Let me say something it’s hard , it’s dangerous it wild, we risk our own lives just for the horse to live it’s not easy at all I ride and I don’t ever JUST SIT THERE I move my spine in a trot . It’s hard I started riding since I was 5 I fell of when I was 7 10 now I will always ride
Horses have a mind of there own they can do anything and kill you right then and there when you least expect it.But horses also care they take you to shows,help you when you are down,take you over jumps and to fancy dances.Have you jumped 7ft with a wild animal have you competed agaist professionals and won have you took the hours of work to be able to do dressage HAVE YOU FELL OFF AND GOT BACK ON? Have you trusted a animal 10x our size with your life.No people that says it easy u have not.
nobody will EVER understand the bond between a horse and a human im just 8 and i ride still the first time i went horse back riding i fell off but i got right back on and the bond between me and one of the horses there is understandable nobody will EVER undertand
They says it’s easy because they don’t understand the danger you put yourself in and they say it’s easy because they never cleaned and mucked out everyday for hours
They say it's easy but we just make it look easy and we risk our fucking life to ride and they say we just sit there? I was on a trip with my horse and my stepmom and my aunt i ride a 6 years old horse thats not ridden in in was just going to trott then my horse got spooked and started running with me on her back and i fell of with a very big scrach on my back i could not walk cause it hurt so much but thats not the horses fault people say its the horses fault but its not.....
Like “it’s just sittting there” how do we stay on? We balance and use our core muscles. It’s harder that football, basketball, so before u say it’s not a sport u should try it. If it’s in the Olympics I’m pretty sure it’s a sport. So go try it, then tell me it’s not a sport
Foot ball player:hey what sport u do??? Me:horse back riding,jumping and ya know stuff like that! Foot ball player:THATS NOT A SPORT NOR A HOBBIE XD Me:well guess what foot ball is NOT even in the Olympics but guess what is!? HORSE BACK RIDING!!!!
Nobody knows how much bruses and scars. They say its easy but we get kicked and bitten but we just get up and get back on. Dont they notice that we ride and jump these 600kg beasts and trust them with our lives even though they cant understand us!?!?!
😢 I absolutely hate this video horses is real sport it mean to horses girl around the world it takes a lot of time skilled effort if you train horse properties people just don't understand how much time it takes and teamwork it takes to work with a horse
it's easy to say that's easy but it's hard to do it and say it's easy those stupid peole that say that's easy without doing it they have never fall 2 feets meanly you go like 77km/per hour with the risk that another animals on you back step you and kill you
