      A well trained horse can work just as well without using leg pressure and other signals if I remember correctly in dressage your are supposed to not make any visible movements or you can get penalized and you can't tell when they have given the horse any commands the riders use their thighs and have a whip that can almost reach the horses knee but I don't pay attention to that I like jumping but they still use signals other than the reins

      @brendalg4 Před 2 lety +5

      @UrGirlApple for people that abuse animals, they don't care if it gives pain. For example, if you hit a horse with a whip it will make it go faster. But a horse will also go faster just because it loves the person. They don't want to wait around to get a good relationship. Whipping isn't even the worst thing that they do in horse racing. They ride them before they are old enough to be ridden. This causes their body to break down sooner. But they don't care because they got their money.
      Yes they will get bad consequences as well as the results they want.

      In dressage which is similar you get penalized for that which is why they are so extensively trained and extremely expensive and it can take years for a rider to get to grand prix or top competition levels by expensive an untrained horse can cost 50,000 and a trained one can be 100,000 or more depending on level of training, breeding, and experience.

      You're like the vegan "teacher" on tiktok who got mad about seeing a horse run in a straight line because "horses don't do that". She too knew nothing about horses.

    This was super cute! I loved it! I’m usually someone who prefers when a rider doesn’t outshine a horse and kind of just disappears but the horse looks happy so I’m happy! It’s a nice performance

      Mente Olistica being able to ride the horse without using a bridle, hackamore etc... Is a show of trust so obviously the horse trusts her.

      If someone educates you with lashes on the skull, you would act like this horse. Let's try?

    • @andicarusfell8387
      @andicarusfell8387 Před 5 lety +19

      Mente Olistica I’m pretty sure if they lashed the horse on the skulll they wouldn’t act like that. Being able to ride without a bridle is a show of trust on both sides. I doubt they lash them on the skull because the horse and the girl are both trusting each other to do what they were supposed to do. Plus, if they were lashed on the skull or beaten, you would see those injuries. The horse community is tired of people barging in when they don’t understand what’s going on.

    This is what I imagine when I think of cowboys and back when people rode the same horse day in and day out for decades, how they would know each other so well they would be like 2 parts of a whole when riding.
    This is absolutely beautiful. Stunning performance for the horse and rider!

      yes, some of the maneuvers are considered a punishment to a horse- also, it's ears are pulled back most of the time indicating that it's not happy just following through w/ thousands of hours of training to get to this point-

      @@ahershey8523 Yeah.. I'm very aware of the equestrian world.. the goods and the bads.. there are lots of ignorant "methods" of training horses... a lot are initially abusive.. some believe that's the way.. but there are those who know well and otherwise.. some are knowing of the abuse, and some just were taught it's okay..

    Ok I really don’t know the first thing about riding like that but one question: is it true that the horse suffers a lot of joint problems every time it has to leap forward and then stop abruptly? It also just seems so risky for the horse to do spins so speedily because it’s joints could so easily snap if it makes one wrong move
