FAIL HACK! (inc. bolting & gallop) | GoPro

- I think it's safe to say the ponies were feeling a little bit fresh! We had planned a nice quiet hack to enjoy the last of the good ground, but we all had a fun time despite the spooking, bolting and unplanned galloping!
Callie and Rodge certainly enjoyed themselves and Callie in particular had the time of his life galloping up the field, he just loves his hacking ❤️ You can see he'd been quite on his toes for the whole hack, so I had a feeling he’d go off like a rocket when we cantered, but can we all just appreciate how polite he was waiting for me to give the signal to go instead of just tearing off after Roger and Bumble when they set off, despite feeling so fresh - what a good pony! I also just want to point out that Callie wasn't actually having a quick snack before we rode out, he was just chewing on some of his straw bedding 😄
You’ll notice I started asking Callie to woah way before the end of the field; this was because I've hacked him when he's been fresh before on the same route and knew he was going to be hard to stop. Also to be clear, I didn't just let Callie bolt off as fast as he wanted down the field, this wasn’t Callie’s full speed as I was trying to keep him up together and balanced as best I could on the slightly wet ground, I didn't want him to get too long and slip. I don’t think we would have ever managed to stop if I’d let him go flat out 😂
Disclaimer: The horses are tacked up before each lesson by the lovely grooms who work at the yard in order to save time (this is a busy riding school & livery yard and these are the rules). This is why when I approach the horses in my videos they're already tacked up and I just do some final adjustments. They’re not left in the their stables with tack on 24/7! 😊
🚨For a bit of balance, I would appreciate it if anyone leaving rude or negative criticism/tips/advice would also donate at least £1 to a charity of their choice 😊
QOTD: Have you ever galloped? What did it feel like?
Ponies/horses:
Callie - approx 14.3hh bay New Forest x gelding
Roger - 14hh piebald gelding
Bumble - 16.1hh piebald mare

PLEASE READ: Sadly I'm being asked by quite a lot of people whether the horses at this yard have bits in and saddles on at all times while they're in their stables. The answer is: no, of course they don't!! 😊 The horses are tacked up before each lesson by the lovely grooms who work/volunteer at the yard in order to save time and ensure each horse is tacked up to a high standard (this is a busy riding school & livery yard and these are the rules, full stop). This is why when I approach the horses in my videos, they're already tacked up and I just do some final adjustments. They’re not left in their stables with or without tack on 24/7 and are only in the yard and out of the fields for as long as they are needed for a lesson or hack. I'm honestly both shocked and incredibly disappointed that so many people think the horses are treated this way.
I would also like to make very clear that we only ever ride on designated bridleways (a lot of the ones around us go diagonally across or straight through the middle of the fields), stubble fields, or fields that have not yet been planted (as per each farmers crop rotation). The field we cantered across in this video has not been harrowed or planted this year, which means we are not damaging the farmers crop or field - we would never, ever go on the crop unless by accident or for safety reasons, for example if a horse spooks or we meet a tractor and there is no room to pass safely. The yard and the local farmers have had a very good relationship for over 25 years; because of this they allow us to ride on their fields if they are unplanted or have been harvested. It is their livelihood, and we respect that greatly. 👍
We did the same at the yeard I used to work at, have the horse all tacked up and ready for lessons or hacks or if they are to go for a show they get tacked up and a rug put on them to go in the lorry or just the saddle and a rug, am shocked my self to head people asking you if the horse are forever tacked up I laughed at first. then it got me thinking of how they could even think like that.
The yard I was at had a farmers field next to us on a hill and we get to rid in it, I never did never got the change to do so =( I miss riding maybe in 2019 I'll get back into it, after getting help.
I don't think the people who are asked you that question has an idea on how horses are looked after and cared for let alone in a livery or riding stables. So I wouldn't be too surprised when questions like that are asked, it does show peoples real lack of knowledge and understanding :)
PonyCam I think it’s a little messed up people don’t tack there own horses up you need to learn that and practice every time too
+wolfaholic 7017 I'm not sure if your comment is aimed at me or not, but in case it is and you just didn't manage to read the post you've commented on: this is a riding school, none of these are my own horses, it is the rules of the yard that the grooms tack up - I literally cannot tack up here and I'm fine with that. I know how to tack up, as I learnt before I came to this yard. Some riding schools work this way, some don't, it's really, honestly, perfectly normal. :-)
@@PonyCam oh i was not i was just saying i under stand if you are not allowed and i was just saying it because alote of people just comw ride and go and never learn to tack or untack but you by your response are obviously not like that😊
I used to ride an ex racehorse, she loved to bolt away with people, I did tons of flat work with her so we had a bond, we went on a trail ride and she ran with all her powder over a field, I tried stopping her but gave up and just let her run, we ended up so far from home and she was so tired, took us almost 2 hours in walk to get back, she never did it again lmfao
I think if they bolt it's good to let them go till they're tired so maybe they'll think not to next time
I'm glad you stayed on and made it home in one piece!
Cherry Mama me too! I wasn’t a good rider but I knew what was up before I started riding her, she was truly an amazing horse!
Sinead Beel yep, she tried before and everyone stopped her but I couldn’t so I just let her burn out her Energy
Trines Nails That’ll learn her! 🤣💖
“I mean hedges man, scary stuff” legit me to my horse
Same
Robin (riding Roger in this video) wants me to tell you all that she was wearing a t-shirt, jumper, gilet, thick waterproof coat and hi-vis on this hack, and that she’s not just been eating too many pies recently 😂 x
Lol
When you can't pull him up put him in a circle so then he'll stop going
+Adrian Gordon That's exactly what I did in the video...
Soz i didn't see it im so sorry but i love the vid
I doubt anyone was looking at her anyway. Gorgeous Roger takes the attention away.
I love it how you talk to him! That is the number one way to calm them down❤️
Emily Alexander yeah but a horse can’t relay on your voice to much to
Yes it's helps but they can't rely on your voice I have had it be so windy that I couldn't hear myself think so there was no way my horse could hear me. I'm all for using my voice but sometimes it's not the best choice
I liked that you didn’t panic you immediately circled him good job cause I know when my pony bolted I had a bit of a panic moment and it took me about 5 minutes to get the circle come to a complete stop...well done beautiful horses and Calli has some speed on him speedy boy 😂❤️
You bought him back under control well every time he tried to take off and stayed calm, nice one
I love this video - well, all your videos! - as I have severe anxiety I try to control with medication. Little things set it off, but especially when I’m riding, if something goes “wrong” or is out of my control I completely freeze up and lose my confidence. My heat skipped a beat when he bolted, and when he galloped and didn’t seem like he would stop as I very recently had a similar thing happen to me - except I broke my ankle! So I’ve been trying to build my confidence. Seeing how you handle things so positively and confidently, and “keep your cool” as it was, really inspires and ensures me that even if I do lose control, I can always regain it and even have fun with it, and that it is not the end of the world 😁
When i was 10 i went on a hack on a horse i didnt know so Well. I know it was a stupid idea, but it was My 2 time riding(and not just walking for 2 minutes) and i had no idea about What could happen. Suddently She took off and Galloped. It went fine, untill She bucked. I fell off, but My foot was stuck in The stirrup. I got dragged for What felt like Ages, and suddently evrything turned Black. She had accidently hit me in The head with her hoof while running.
I had to be in The hospital for 12 hours and i went home with a broken ancle and a scar between My eyes from where her hoof hit. The accident was on December 16th 2017. I still loved horses and wanted to ride, so we started looking for a barn. Spring 2018 i started riding and i Think ive come really far. I ride one of The challenging school horses at My barn, and i Can almost canter myself now.
I know what you mean. I had two really bad falls last year (turned out my horse had damaged her back and so would suddenly go complete rodeo bronco during rides) and she then had to have six months off which let getting back on her turn into this impossible feat in my head. These videos have been so good for getting my confidence back up.
Yekaterina Petrovna Zamolodchikova me too! I’ve had anxiety in terms of cantering because of a bad fall. I’m glad I’m not the only one :)
Holly I have this problem too. Especially when I ride certain horses that are really hard to calm down and are super forward. I just end up being way too harsh on the horses mouth and my trainer whenever she puts me on these horses I have to stay in a curtain “color zone” and I’m not allowed to move my hands up any further. I’ve always had really bad confidence when cantering since the first time I did so I had a really bad fall. I’ve only recently been more confident when riding certain horses. Ever sense a horse just took off with me and wouldn’t stop I’ve been nervous especially since I was a pretty new rider and this was one of the first times I was on that horse. So now I sadly have a really bad taste in my mouth about this horse. It really helps me to watch people handle this so well and knowing others have the same issue as myself. ❤️❤️
I absolutely love how she handles the horse not listening. She stayed calm and was very kind and was still calling him sweety and saying good boy. Great job
I love how you handel him. Even though he is fresh, you still talk nicely to him and just laughs it of when he is silly. Just great, you are a good rider in my opinion! :-)
No she is not a good rider she is amazing
Excellent job riding, talking to him, and knowing your horse! I ride a bolter, and remaining calm is key. Well done.
Same the horse i ride bolts on me every lesson i just have to sit there but yes keeping calm is the main thing
She’s a girl?
i love that the riding school ponies are getting a chance to go out, not many riding schools allow the horses to go on hack’s so it’s lovely to see!
lib clayton my riding school does
I think mist riding schools do allow hacks with there horses, where i ride the school horses + full working livery each do 7 hours of work a week which is about 1-2 lessons a day. It varies every week depending on how busy it is as we are very small lol but If they haven't done 7-8 hours then all the helpers and instructors go on a huge group hack through the fields with lots of galloping to keep them fit and happy. I'm not saying all schools do this but I think most do allow hacking or hacking experiences for riders who want to pay a small bit
lib clayton my riding school hacks ? I’ve never met one that doesn’t lol
Never heard of one that doesn’t I’ve heard of not letting certain levels of riders on hacks but never a riding school not doing a hack
I suppose in Ireland and GB the weather isn’t always great so you can’t always go out
@@hanakinsidewalker here where I live no where does hacking as well
Hedges man. My new favourite line.
Also, when Cally bolted my heart leapt right into my throat. Thanks for the jumpscare! :P xx
Debbie Mclean Haha, sorry! 😁
I truely enjoyed your calm approch towards his Joy in taking a run. Thank you for sharing
I love how you talk with your horses when I talk with my horses people think I'm weird like 🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️❤️
You handled that so well!! Shows your incredible skill and a reminder again with horses anything can happen anytime. Your positivity with Callie is wonderful and how calm you stay. It's really helped me.
I love how you are so calm to your horse, even if he’s naughty, i would’ve been so scared😂😂
"Ready when you are 😁 😁"
I DON'T THINK ANY OF US WERE READY FOR THAT LEGIT TANK OF A GALLOP 😂
I really think you coped very well with the horse you were riding, you were calm and encouraging and always praised him when needed. Well done x
Glad to see a video where riders handle the little things that can go wrong during trail rides, as we call them in America. Too many videos only serve to sensationalize accidents and falls. Staying calm and paying attention make all the difference. Great video.
There is nothing more exciting and exhilarating than a good gallop across fallow land or moorland.
I love it how you talk to him, so peaceful. Good work. ❤️
I love how friendly your tone is towards him if if he Is naughty 🥺❤️
The two horses that where In front of you were like twins lol
and you say "oh dear" LOL! I'd be freaking out, but then again I'm a rather newbie rider. the horses are lovely and what a nice barn!!!
Great vid, as always, callie looked awesome
Qotd: i havent galloped a lot (purposeful and by accident 😂 ) and i can quite honestly say its the best feeling in the world
Agreed! 😊
We need more people as kind to horses as you are. Your voice is so soothing😍😂👌💜
You were so good keeping him in control. Good job!
QOTD: Yes, twice, both purposely and by accident. I was riding an ex-showjumper who decided he didn't want to jump the 75cm and bolted and jumped the 1.20m jump next to it.
great so confident. too many people get stressy when a horse spooks or takes off yelling at them or belting them with a whip. horses cant talk to tell you "don't you hit me! your coming the fuck off! so they tell you the only way they know how by bucking or rearing. totally fantastic
I love how you handled him bolting. Its a part of riding horses, they are animals and have different moods and this means sometimes they take off. You accepting this in a loving way is just awesome... Although I would be really scared haha XD
Ha ha ha! Oh how they like to go their own way. I'm sure you know as well that when they canter on their way home, they are fast!! 🐎 Great video!
love how gentle and happy you are!
I think it's amazing for riding School, ponies to get out and do this just to clear their little head and give them a change of atmosphere xx u rode brilliantly xx
I live how you talk to him like I talk to horses!💖
Jesus! You might as well be riding a jet! Callie is so quick! 😄
It’s always scary when your horse runs away unexpected. You feel like your out of control and that’s true. 😂😫
QOTD: yes, unexpectedly!! A fresh pony on a windy day is not a good combination.....
Are you tearing through crops here?
Gallopping is MAGIC!! ITS so fun omg love it
The only time I’ve ever galloped my horse was completely unintentional and she was so bloody fast I almost fell off because she lowered her head while running! 😂👏
Cally is a proper dude 😎 loads of energy out the hack, ready for it then calm as a cucumber when home 😍
I love that Roger and Bumble have the same tail spot. Also my favorite time galloping was on my riding instructors barrel racing horse named Smoothie. We were out on a hack and there was about a mile of open field we could run through. One of the girls I was riding on wanted to race. So we waited for someone to get ahead and when Smoothie and I started we were in a steady canter then she got really into it seeing as she wasn't in the lead and kicked it into high gear. It was amazing though I managed to break a strap on the bridle... Not sure how because I didn't pull. But it was great fun. Nothing beats that feeling. Or hearing the sound of the hooves on the ground.
Early for once. The communication between you and horse is truly satisfying to watch. Many riders apologise for talking to their horses when why not? You talk to a dog but not a horse? It's really fascinating to watch. Hope you're fine, that seemed like very high speeds. Hope everything is alright and don't let your self esteem drop because of an accident. x
Brilliant memories for me as I had a Connemara mare who liked to bolt and win by being at the front come what ever. Lovely riding country you have.
Jill Dickson aww I have a 13 yr old black connemara
U did a great job on calming him down and not panicking
I admire your confidence
Your voice is so calming and I love it
That horse has some real go! Racing the other ponies like that!!
I've gotten to gallop three times in my life and each time was the most unbelievably amazing experience! These animals are too good for us.
Lol I once went for a ride with my Friesian called Ace and he did the same thing exsept he kicked me off and I found him 5 hours later in the females field I tell ya I wasn't happy with him cuz a foal was born later that year 😂😂😂 he's a cheeky one
SpringWolf I bet you were not ha ha x
SpringWolf I guess he’s a stallion then haha
That is so comical 😂😂👍🏼
r/thathappened
later that year? guess it must've been in early january because horses are pregnant for 11 months.
It the best to no panic and you didnt panic. Good job!😁
I think your be the only person to ever ride my ponies as your so soft and kind xx
Your hack path seems very exciting and wow he's a very fast horse😃
when I mount I sound like I'm dying, my horse agrees... lol
His gates look so smooth and comfortable ♥️ he must be a blast to ride
He was definitely one of the comfiest I've ridden!
Loved this!!
Glad to see a video where riders handle the little things that can go wrong during a trail rides as we call it them America. Too many videos only serve to sensationalize accidents and falls. Staying calm and staying on make all the difference. Great video
I rode a Shetland and I it bolted at the sight of a cat and I didn't think they could that fast
Alexandria Gaertner riden a Welsh pony and he bucked in a sight of cat and the bridle just turned forward and the saddle turned around! This was in gallop but I didn’t fell
The two horses in front look like twins! 🐴
The place you ride at and stable at is so cool. I wish I had that around my area!!
3:40 Usain bolt in horse 😂
Well done and good job I can see your a real horse person
All your horses are so pretty
I’m pretty sure horses forget how to trot when it’s a nice exiting hack 😂❤️
I love the sound of horse hoofs ❤️
You have wonderful places to hack. Thank you for recording - this is a very lovely video. Every blessing ❤
Thank you so much, we are very lucky with our hacking!
Awww the hours your riding is so cute
Is no one else going to comment on how smooth her rising trot is?? Very controlled and very impressive!
Your horse has got some speed on it but well sat when they spooked🥺💖
i just love it how u talk to him its like ur giving him luck UNU
I started riding on a 13 hands piebald pony about 2 months ago.
I am loaning him and he is amazing to ride . Paddy (That's his name) is a beautiful cob and today I did a jumping course with him and it was such good fun! I also hack out a lot since there is a forest and a massive field just to name a few. I am 10 years old and for me paddy is the best horse ever! ☺
Such a cute pony
Looking at people like this lady who can handle these situations, I have a looong way to go and a lot of bruises to take as an intermediate. Even if I survived the first spookes I would just freak out in that crazy gallop overtaking everyone and make sure I take a flight with crash landing.
Loved this! 😂🐴💖
Great ride. Enjoy the video.😊
Amazing I love your videos I subscribed 🐴🐎🐎💕💕❤️
You handled that bolt/spook really good!!! You shouldn’t be scared even if h are try and stay calm because if u get scared of a bolt it will make them more scared which will make them more scared so they’ll go faster and u handled that really well.
Edit: I’m pretty sure cause that happened one time too me
You have a verry happy horse 😂😂🥰
Good control !!
Ahhh your hacks look so fun😂xx
damn that looks like so much fun. I've just started my equestrian journey about 6 months ago and I've ridden in a field once. that looks like a lot of fun though
He/she was so happy when they finally got to gallop 😍
Definitely the part he had been waiting for!
I love it that u don't go on busy roads, I have seen a video of these girls with their horses on a two way road and complaining about speeders, but it's not actually safe for horses to be on a two way road, ur so cool definitely subscribing!
What a wonderful riffing area you have at your disposal.
I love the way the 2 other horses look the same like there tale paterns
Great video! ❤️
Qotd: yes, both purposly and bolting :p this autumn we went to a huge field(we can't use that field pretty often since it's not our stables and there usually grows stuff xD) and me, my friend and my riding teacher decided to have a race xD I was riding my favourite horse and it was awesome, others in that lesson could'nt keep up with our horses XD also sorry if there's some mistakes, i'm from Finland and I'm not the best at english xd
horse riders: “Where are you going??!”
Horses: GOIGN FAST
The satisfying sound when tightening the girth😂
You must love galloping
I was saying to the screen... " There he goes"..
Absolutely fab
David Taylor Ponies all definitely had a good time!
One of the most spoken words in equestrianism:em a no and stopppppp!!!!😂😂😂😂
Oh my god well done for staying on when he didn't stop galloping right away, thats my weak point 😂
You’re amazing! I wish I had your confidence! I’d be an emotional wreck if that happened to me aha
Woow, haha, really fresh ponies! Very well done :-)!
ASMR of clip clock is amazing 😌😌
Omg ur horse is so adorableee
Beautiful horses! This is the first video I have seen of u so I don't know their names but cute horses!
I think I got to a pace somewhat described as a fast canter/slow gallop when I rode on a riding holiday and they gave me a horse who knew all the galloping spots and was really keen to set off. I once also was riding a pony who overtook the instructor's pony so she was going pretty fast, and she had to yell stop to me lol.
My horse used to bolt all the time sometimes in a field an a couple of times up the road but was a country lane so not much traffic I miss riding now but I’m to old to nearly 40 an your horse is so beautiful 😊😊😊
Oh my god! I used to learn to ride there. Experienced my first trot in the indoor arena
