Her lower leg doesn’t move at all wowww and she did this in a hackamore! I love her, but imagine how scary it would be to screw up a distance to that fence😫😫
@@jasleengyani5136 As can be done with pretty much every bridle. Her beeing able to use it or not desn't make the bridle any better. There are Options to use a Mechanical Hackamore in a way that makes sense and is not problematic but just using it doesn't make you a saint as people here seem to think. This is a typical misconseption about bitless riding. It can be a good Option but bitless by itself doesn't say anything about horsefriendlieness and the Hackamore is definetly on the lesser side of it. And it is not more difficult with one either.
@@Loki-fl1rk there has never been a case of a horse breaking it's nasal bone, yes some hackamores are harsher than others and can cause discomfort for the horse but over all used properly, like this one was , it's much better to ride in a bitless than a bridle with a bit
Such a great rider. You could tell she was a bit tense at first, but when she pet her horses neck and he/she leaned around to say “it’s ok,” she relaxed so much. And in a hackamore too! They obviously had such a great bond and both of them had so much talent. Good on her.
@@princevegeta2956 you can break a horse's nose with a hackamore. many horses dislike nose pressure and prefer ''''uncomfortable bits''''. hackamore or bit it depends on soft hands and jessica has a fantastic pair of em. its not about the gear she uses literally at all its about how she uses it and its obnoxious how you all miss the point entirely with this 'oh wow hackamore!!' nonsense.
KateCO omg can’t agree more!! This is what I’ve been trying to tell people for years!! Finally someone one who understands. Some horses require bits!!!!!!
Welp, you don't need a bit. You just need some more practise! it takes a LOT of it to compete at high levels, you can try bitless riding, it's truly worth it!
@@annieandbenjaminsso4317 different horses need different things. My horse despised bitless bridles after professional bridle fitters fitted them and then I had 0 contact
people act like people with a bit wouldnt be able to jump this 'she did this in a hackamore!' its not that different from a bit. Calm down guys, if she was in a bit she wouldve jumped it as well
Thinking the same thing haha, its great to see of course but her horse obviously responds well/rides better in one hence why she uses one. Shes an amazing rider though, no doubt!
what those people mean is that not allot of riders ride without a bit, especially riders that ride on grand prix or olympic level. Im not sure if without a bit is aloud on those events tho (olympics and shit lmao) yes, the horse did jump the jump even if it would've had a bit. But why attack people on what makes them proud? xD
@@user-dv7qz1vs1l to "allot" is to assign money or goods to something. Not the same as "a lot". Allowed, not aloud (which means speaking up/out) . Though, not tho. Olympics is capitalized as it's a proper name. Sentence structure needs work too (sigh). A great many people think/believe that horses should not use what some people choose to call "metal pain bits" which is ludicrous. That's why they remarked on her using a hackamore.
In the replay you can see she is pulling on her horse a little before the wall which is probably why he went a little flattened out over the wall. I have never seen skill as amazing as this. I am afraid to jump a little higher than a small crossrail maybe 25cm or more yet this brilliant duo tackled 6 10 wall.
Well when you have the best trainers money can buy and started so young I would hope that she would be good !! But there’s still raw talent that’s always special to see in both horse and rider !! Love love love Miss Springsteen and I hope someday she goes beyond silver to conquer that gold !!!! ❤
Wow... Its such a good ride! I thought that i didnt see right when i saw the hackamore! Respect to her thst she has such a control about her horse and Trust him as much as a second halve
A mechanical Hackamore, as seen here, is really, really harsh, this is about stopping the horse effectivly, not about beeing nice to her. Please read the last part of this: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mechanical_hackamore
@@Loki-fl1rk i know that a hackamore can be very hard ( you can break the nosebone of your horse) but in the right hands it is a good Possibility to ride your horse without Bit. A hackamore is the only chance to ride your horse on Competitions without any bit, because a knot halter and the luckywheel are not so specific in the control giving as the hackamore. Yeaah, i admit when you say that hackamore is very specific and youg riders without the needed experience should never ever ride with hackamore, because its a high risk of hurting the horse
@@theresaf.2326 A knothalter would be less specific, a luckwheel is much more sophisticated than a mechanical hackamore. That's the point, you can only use it to stop your horse. Controlgiving, yes, but that's about it. Of couse you can use it without hurting your horse, but you can do this with a bit too. Using a hackamore is not a sign of good riding or beeing nice to your horse by itself. And all the peaople commenting here see her as some kind of an animal welfare angel as if 1:10 and the following didn't happen.
Not sure why everyone’s praising the hackamore, when it is known to be stronger and more severe than bits? In the wrong hands, it’s literal torture. Please don’t ride your horse in one unless you know what you’re doing and have light hands. It’s not a better alternative to a bit, it’s not kinder than a bit. If you want to ride bitless, use a proper bitless bridle and not a hackamore. If you want to compete, a simple snaffle should be more than sufficient. Thankfully, this rider is extremely good and gives enough release over the jumps to not harm the horse, and her balance and lower leg are extraordinary, and fantastic to see among higher levels.
Guys, hackamore are terribly severe, and are not to be praised. They crush the thin bone on the bridge of the nose causing the horse a life of pain. I don't mean if they tug to hard I mean it will crush them period. Again hackamore and bitless bridle are to be frowned upon in the horse world. I have learned this from a professional rider and trainer, and other vets a pro I know agree. But, I will say I agree she had a beautiful ride.
Ima come in here and disagree🤷 I ride my my horse in a bit, but if he preferred bitless, or had issues in his mouth I would switch to bitless in a heartbeat. Like honestly, why does the horse world make the bit debate so personal. If your horse likes a bit use one. If your horse likes bitless use it. Both can be used irresponsibly Both can be used responsibly. Period.
You need very soft hands and a well responsive horse for a hackamore to be okay imo. Anything else and you’re torturing the poor thing. Hackamores are only to be praised if the rider is good with it
Oh my freaking actual freaking god SHES IN A HACKAMOREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE can we just congratulate this lady like NOW You dont even need a bit, and this woman is a great example of it!
Hackamores can be just as bad if not worse than boys and can actually kill a horse. These mechanical hackamores can completely collapse the nasal cavity
does anyone else feels confident in the few seconds before jumping, but when there's a second left for you to jump you feel scared af (especially for people who jump a metre and more just like me lol)
Really depends on the jump for me. When I ride up to a vertical I usually am confident the whole way through, but when it comes to an oxer or triple bars I also seize up the last few seconds before take off.
HunterJUMPER All I could think about the pounds per square inch of force as that horse and rider came down on her front legs, and how much Jesse seems to love her horse. I’m not a fan of puissance.
Mit mechanischer Hackamore, also von nett weit entfernt. Der Zügelzug geht auf das Nasenbein und das ist auch bei Pferden sehr empfindlich. Drück mal ordentlich auf das untere Stück von deinem Nasenknochen, tut weh, oder? Und eine Hackamore kann einem Pferd genau das sogar brechen. Dazu ist es ein sehr ungenaues Gebiss, feinere Hilfengebung wie sie mit anderen zum Beispiel mit Dressurkandarren erreicht werden soll ist damit nicht möglich. Guckt mal bei 1:10 hin, wie sie da zieht und wie das Pferd reagiert. Die mechanische Hackamore ist eine zuverlässige Bremse, mehr nicht.
@@Loki-fl1rk Oh, sp genau kannte ich mich mit Hackamore garnicht aus :o Reite nämlich nur mit Gebiss, und manchmal mit Knotenhalfter :o Danke für die Info :D
@@emmak1623 Steht in meinem vorletzten Satz. Bei 1:10 und folgend sieht man es sehr gut. Und achte mal auf die Lippen während des Rittes, das ist eine deutliche Abwehrreaktion. Das war aber nicht der Punkt, sondern das Gebisslos nicht automatisch "gut" heißt.
People who can’t believe she did this without a bit are fools. If I did what she did in a rope halter or bosal, would you all be even more impressed? Because it is possible, you can teach a horse to do almost anything. Keep in mind that just because a bit was absent does not mean pain wasn’t still involved. Do biased people really ignore the fact that the horses lip was hanging the whole time and she still used pain the outside? A horse hanging his lip while riding is not normal and not a sign of relaxation. I bet some idiot would say the same thing when a horse foams at the mouth with a bit in also. It’s not normal. No horse on this earth “needs a bit” and this can be done with any horse.
I agree, but when horses have foam coming out of their mouth it's not because of the bit, it's call a 'wet mouth' some horses do it if they are working hard x
Edie Hillier yes I know, but I’ve NEVER seen a horse foam out of the mouth when ridden without a bit, and I’ve never seen it occur naturally when they’re just running around and being horses. The literal only time I’ve ever seen it is when someone is riding with a bit (and it’s mostly english) and typically, the bit isn’t just sitting in the mouth, they’re pulling on it whenever I’ve seen the foam Listen to this: If you google “horse foaming out of the mouth” the first result is a random horse forum that says “foaming is a good sign that the horse is being ridden well because when a horse is nervous their salivation glands do not work and the drooling actually demonstrations relaxation.” Which actually makes a lot of sense if you don’t know any better and you understand fight or flight and how your body changes in those situations. (Like the pupil dialiation, uncontrollable bladder, adrenal glands producing adrenaline, etc) But, if you go click on images, literally every single picture is of a horse with a bit being yanked in its mouth- because that’s the only time you see it. If you use your common sense- horses are relaxed while grazing, eating, drinking, sleeping, roaming in pasture, and they never foam out of their mouth then. Again, if you were riding a horse in a halter or bosal or something, you will notice that the horse can be relaxed but also wouldn’t be foaming out the mouth. So why is it? The way I see it- horses aren’t dogs, but people are so oriented to dogs and they see dogs drooling as normal that maybe they think it’s okay when horses do it too. To me it looks cruel and it looks like something wrong is happening because they do not do it naturally.
Naja man hat aber gesehen das sie es gut behandelt 1. Gebiss los 2.sie lobt es nach dem Sprung und Streichelt es noch und 3 . Sie hat sofort Zügel locker gelassen und hat ihm oder sie die "Freiheit "gegeben
@@Smartyyy17 ja das ist gut aber man macht es nur für Geld,... dabei schadet man die Gesundheit des Pferdes(Gelenke,...) das heißt so wirklich tierfreundlich was die da machen is das nd
@@nasner Ja aber sie ist besser als andere Springreiter/innen weil sie nicht auf das Pferd einschlägt aber bin auch kein Fan vom Springreiten weil sich die Pferde auch verletzen
I do western riding and I don't really like english what drew me to this video is that she used a hackamore! I never see many jumpers using hackamores.
claudia koler weil mächtigkeistspringen verboten gehört! Pferde springen ja nicht von Natur aus SO hoch! Sowas geht gar nicht😭 die armen Tier. Die bekommen z.B. Ketten um die Hufe sodasss die Hufe weh tun das sie höher springen und so...
Sie ist so nett zu ihrem Pferd einfach nich wie andere die auf die eindresschen und verallen Dingen mit Hackamore und nicht mit Kandare . Sie liebt ihr Pferd einfach nicht so wie andere
