Who else thinks it is funny how alot of people in this comment section thing the can ride better and have more knowledge of horses then professional riders. I would like to see them try to do this
Then its just wich hackamore she uses, beacause some of those are very painfull for the horse, and it can just be painful for it normally, if you haven't learned to ride with it.
@@kimmiedupret8526 The horse is in training. When I trained horses the owner was allowed to ride their horse once a week, unless it was before a show. I did have some green and junk horses, that they could ride if they felt like they needed a tune up. Sometimes, they would ride horses in training, so I could see what they looked like from the ground. I would take my "A" string riders to ride horses that for sale.
I don't get why she is getting so much hate?! Hackamores use pressure like any bridle, there's no avoiding it and compared to most grand prix riders her position is really good and her hands are actually not bad. At that level riding is different, for all those people who are convinced they know how to ride because they clear 60cm at home on their little fell ponies just shut up.
Huh? She's very loose in the saddle. Her hands over the fences are ok, but in between not so much. I'm not really familiar with her as a rider, but while watching this round I wondered if she could cope with a more difficult horse.
@@salomebl5581 yes and it's why it's impressive. Any hand's fault by the rider will be paid cash. Jessica has excellent hands and Lisona is a big jumper
Can’t believe people think they can do better . Come on!! She is an AMAZING rider and has sooooo much potential. Even though she is riding with a strong bit, she is not ripping the horses mouth out. Her hands and great!
The horse is still in pain from that mechanical hackamores. Not all bitless bridle are made equal, and I am very much opposed to anything using squeezing or leverage. That's my reason for hating mechanical hackamores; I saw in another comment that someone couldn't understand why there was hate for them.
That horse is showing 0 signs of being in pain. It doesn't matter what bridle someone uses, with or without a bit as long as the rider uses it correctly. If this horse were in pain (which it isn't, like I said) it would be because of the rider pulling too hard (which she isn't) not the hackamore
you have a set amount of time to jump as many points as you can, each jump is worth a different amount of points, so the rider choices her own lines to get as many points as possible within that time limit without penalties
@@michaelaboyd though I'm going out on a whim and saying it's called gamblers choice because of the title, it's a bit like a puissance, where it only really gets jumped at special occasions or for fun, this one was a halloween event and didn't count towards qualifying for actual other fei events for as far as i knoe
Thanks for asking, I was wondering. This looks WAY more fun to me than the traditional style! And you can customize the ride to the strengths of your own horse!
I was surprised and pleased to see the hackamore. I rode a mare in the 70's who had won 50 ribbons in barrel racing the year before I purchased her. Trained by an ex Canadian Olympian, she was jumping 5' fences when I bought her. He rode her in a gag snaffle. I tried other bridles and a double bridle (from a Saddlebred) before I tried the hackamore. She was so strong before I tried this that I could not get her to collect between jumps. She had even run off with me in the country and I could not stop her. Running full blast through the woods and having lost my helmet and glasses in the trees, I jumped off before going through two narrow trees in her path which would have damaged my knees. I had a hackamore from another western horse I owned and tried it. The hackamore made all the difference. I am 5'1" and 116 # so I did not have the strength to manage her. In her previous Western training, she had worn a hackamore. I never say anyone else using a hackamore for open jumping.
I used a hackamore just like that. It’s actually very kind my horse loved it. If the horse was having a tough time with it his head would be bent on his chest. The horse pulling faces maybe it’s thing ... concentration. Just quit the crap she did great. Horse and rider both actually!
Am I the only one who was triggered by the amount her hands were moving at the beginning??! Quiet your hands!! Super busy hands throughout. Uncomfortable
I don't think that it is that bad. Clearly her hands could be a bit calmer but it's not like she is hurting the horse in its mouth considering she rides with a hackamore.
Didi K. I don’t think she’s hurting him, and I know equitation doesn’t really matter in show jumping like it does I’m hunting, it just hurts my eyes to watch! Like how can you post up in a trot and take your hands with you like that? She’s obviously a great rider and works well with her horse. I just absolutely cringed though.
No idea why folks are objecting to the hackamore. Years ago I owned a horse that was uncontrollable with every kind of bit I tried. I switched to a hackamore similar to this and the horse loved it and immediately calmed down. Give me a choice between a bar of metal in my mouth or a hackamore and you won't see me scratching my head trying to decide.....
Her hands were fine considering she was moving much faster than it looks and needing to think on her toes and respond quickly she had no wiggle room to fiddle with perfect hand adjustment and equitation
@@paigepresnell5795 : Good Hands , quiet hands are something , once with a solid foundation , one does not think about but just " is " . I'm referring to her hands rising with her in rising trot - instead of opening & closing her elbows . Also , one ought to NEVER fiddle about with one's hands . No doubts that she's quick with a great horse ! Just a statement - but well done !
@@maureen669 without sport horses would only exist for meat. At least sport horses get taken care off really well and are often loved by their owners. Don't assume abuse and you do realize her comment is a year old??
Ja super!!! Interessiert sich auch irgendjemand für das arme Pferd?Was es da für qualen erleidet?Die erleidet?Die Qual zeichnet sich deutlich auf dem Gesicht.Allein die Augen und dann das Maul. Die Sporen im Dauereinsatz!!! Das Pferd rollt sich immer wieder ein.Auf dem Warmreiteplatz wird schön hart ausgebunden!!!! Es geht nur um Geld, Das Tier muss nur bis zum Sieg gunktionieren, egal es ist ja nur ein Gebrauchsgegenstand!!!!!! Leite wacht auf!!!! Könnte kotzen!!!
Everybody thinks that if a person is a champion and there riding the same horse that they’re the one with the talent because they control it well. I think the horse has the talent here because the rider has no control on whether the horse trips or gets spooked.
Just to so you know, this type of hackamores, the ones with long shanks, aren't in any way better than bits. The longer the shanks, the stronger the nose gets squished. This is not better than a bit.
@@annawolfheslob526 its basically a bridle without a bit... some people would explain it differently, but ive used them before, and in my opinion they work just as if you were riding in a halter and lead rope
I watched this several times. It was a short turn but the jump was not high and was a vertical. I think if she had slowed the horse down more, the mare could have made it. I had a horse that jumped 4' fence from standing still. This will work with verticals. I used to put poles on the ground close together in front of jumps to make the horse have to trot before she could jump. She easily did 4'6" with 12' from the last pole to the jump. The several poles before this were 3' apart. She stepped very quickly with increases impulsion. The important thing is to get the horse "bottled up".
I love how more and more people are choosing hackamores and bitless bridles. It’s so much better than a big piece of metal in the mouth. I’m sure the horses love it too!
I’m a big fan of them, but hackemores can be abused just as easily. If they’re positioned incorrectly they can break the cartilage of the nose or collapse the nostrils and restrict breathing. Not all bits are bad, just depends on the horse and the hands it’s in
@@zoe5317 The turn at 1:40 was ridden way too tight and she should have ridden 2 small and 1 large gallop jump in town. In addition, it holds the horse too much
@@michaelehrhardt8124 are you a professional rider. Have you achieved what she has. I find the answer to my questions is no. I am not trying to hate on your riding in anyway, but for goodness sake she is a professional rider. She knows how to ride a horse and she probably knows how to ride a horse better then you. Why dont you just go away and come back when you are the same level as her and then I will listen to what you think she is doing wrong.
@@Ihearturmomfrl also how else would the horse of stopped unless she pulled... the horse clearly isnt sensitive there, if he was he owuld of stop moving the second she pulled at all.
