She’s still learning and honestly did a really good fall! Finn is still adjusting to a bit and Sophie is still learning how to ride with contact. She let go of the reins and tucked her body to roll which was great. Hope her back side isn’t too sore and confidence is okay. You guys should lunge him (and sensitizing/desensitizing) before every ride. It works wonders, builds relationship, respect and trust. Hope Sophie’s okay, not the worst fall but still hurts!
Thank you! You have such a nice way of seeing things!
It's been suggested before, and now again; if you're not able to ride every day; longe before riding.
But my new horse first time bit in her mouth she bucked way more than that and in 9 but good job
I suspect they ( mostly Finn) are getting a bit sour because they spend all their time training in an arena.
100th like xx
I'm impressed that Gabby worked through the little rears and wasn't even phased by his behavior. Glad Sophie is ok.
Gabby is such a good sister for letting Sophie ride storm. 😭
My sis would be like "YEET get back on your own horse sis"
Hahaha. Sharing is caring!
Oof...😂
SAME
Hahaha lol same
i didn’t get the opportunity to get on another horse 🤣
You have Finn to teach Sophie a lesson. A hard horse makes a great rider. Sophie will be able to ride many different types of horses because of finn
Spook is at 14:07 if anyone was wondering. I am so happy that this time when she fell she stood right back up again and did break a sweat. She has really come so far.
Michelle Shao thanks bro
Michelle Shao It wasn’t a spook lol
I think the main reason she ended up coming off was because she perches forward when she asks for the canter rather then sitting back and he just thought aha mum meet the floor, next time try getting her to sit back give her hands forward and squeeze
Exactly. You are always more secure and have better balance sitting back than sitting forward, and sitting forward can also make situations worse because it can make it more difficult for the horse (and yourself) to balance. All she had to do to stay on (even with a lost stirrup) is sit back a bit and put her leg on. Unfortunately, its human nature to want to lean forward when nervous, and once you've been allowed to form that habit when riding horses, it can be incredibly difficult to break.
For english riding your supposed to lean forward, squeeze and then ask for the canter
@@FAILEDTOLOAD1 in an English rider, have been for 12 years, you're meant to keep your centre of gravity in line with your horses. Not lean forward as that's how you fall off
@Tate F I totally agree! My 14.3 pony acts like finn when sophie was thrown off, and on a regular basis! You just have to sit up tall and loosen the reins slightly cos when he puts his head down you are gonna be pulled forward if your reins are tight!
Tate F agree
Gabby, when you got on Finn and wanted him to go, I saw you were pulling on the rains and kicking with the legs, which was causing him to rear(15:20). I feel like you were doing to much because he bucked on Sophie and I understand that you want to teach him that that’s not okay and that’s fine. Just next time when you’re asking him to walk or anything like that, just soften your hands and squeeze with your legs.
Anyways I hope you read this!
Omg you don't no nothing she had to kick him and you prob never road one
@@artsyhobbyhorses7071 I believe this person has. I would've said the same thing, Finn didn't know what to do it was a constant kick, pull, Kick, pull so his mouth hurt as well as getting gabbed by spurs in the side by Gabby.
@@maddief5269 i do agree about the soft hands, but to be clear Gabby didn't have spurs on and hasn't ridden in spurs for quite a while now
@@melbowell5601 Ah ok. I only ever see her ride in spurs.
I was thinking the same thing when I was watching . When a horse wants to rear, immediately ask them to move forward but you need to make sure you aren’t pulling on the mouth. Pulling would give a mixed signal of ‘go forward and stop’. That frustrates the horse and often causes rearing. (I have a lot of experience training horses and working with rearers). Gabby did do a good job of eventually getting him forward. I do however question that pony’s suitability for Sophie. Of course, I barely ‘know’ Sophie or the pony so I could be wrong but that is what my instinct tells me. Either way, was nice seeing the family out together with the horses. You don’t see that too often these days
Advice: don’t say “NO NO!” And he wasn’t even bucking, he was bouncing
Caprice Robinett 😂 ikr
She's young and was obviously scared
@@acacia8855 needs to be taught what to do BEFORE it happens though
Don't be so rude about though
Acacia I agree. She is only like 9 I’m pretty sure
How many times did gabby say “ his reers are so smooth”.
All around Taylor *rear
4
I think 3-5
Do you go to BMES?
Oh Laura, you know how much I love you, please don’t say Finn is crazy though, he’s not “crazy” lol. He’s an active pony who wants to get on with it and is a little impatient ie not standing at the mounting block ( something which Sophia should work on, although not so easy with the steps she is using as there’s not much of a platform). Once he got going he seemed to be ok, he does shake his head a bit ( still not sure whether it’s habit or flies etc that bother him), perhaps Sophie could put an ear bonnet on him and see if that makes a difference. Just my opinion but I think he just took his opportunity after running into canter and Sophia being tipped forward to hump his back a bit ( was naughty of him). Had she the strength of Gabby she’d have been able to keep his head up and push him forward. Well done Sophia though, you handled your fall like a trooper 😊I really hope you did get back on Finn, even if it was just walking back to the barn, always best to get on rather than leave it 👍 I’m so glad Sam was there too, talks a lot of sense and definitely right, if Finn hadn’t been ridden for a week, not saying he should be naughty, but some horses do act more fresh if they’re not ridden consistently and perhaps Finn is one of them. I’d discuss with your trainers and show them the video as I’m sure they’ll offer some advice ( even Sophia having a neckstrap for a while might be an idea, will also help to keep her hands still), just a thought, I really do think he should be ridden consistently though. I’m terms of his rearing, Gabby needs to be careful with her hands, I know they were only small, but that’s the last habit you want him to develop, not nice at all; hands forward and down, no pulling and drive forward with lots of leg, growling can sometimes help and even turning him as he can’t rear then ( although again it’s being careful ), your trainers will help I’m sure and advise you based on the footage 😊
Sorry for my war and peace lol, finally Gabby, good riding on Storm and no stirrup work, helps you sit deep in the saddle and the canters coming along nicely ( think Storm bucks when you ask for changes and if your leg aids go too far back) lol 👍 Hope Sophia is ok though and hasn’t been put off riding Finn, I’m sure with some perseverance, help and consistency they’re going to make a great team 😊
I honestly dont even remember saying he was crazy. I totally don't believe he is crazy! Lol. He is impulsive and dramatic. He is also young. I think the head tossing goes along with the foot stomping and all the other tantrum behaviours he has . He is just a pony with an attitude. He likes what he likes and that's it! We love him and wouldn't trade him for the world! I often forget that not everyone knows how I am with just spitting out words without thinking!
Great advice as always Mel. I always love your comments (the more "War and Peace" the better!) A neck strap is a good idea, it's always handy to have something to grab when things get hairy! And yes, soft hands are a must if you want your pony to go forwards (and not up).
DayByDay Vlogs At 6:49 "because Finn is crazy"
@@DayByDayVlogs ha ha, I know the words come out Laura lol. He has got some attitude and although he's 8 he may not have been trained under saddle until he was older than normal and not ridden much. I know I only see what's on the vlogs, but I'm still not convinced that his behaviour is all down to age ( 8 isn't that young), tantrums etc as he tosses his head sometimes when just standing with a loose rein. I do wonder if he might be more comfortable in an anatomical bridle, one which avoids some of the sensitive parts of the face. It may also be of course that he just wasn't ridden very sympathetically when he was younger, wrong bit etc and so alot of it is learnt behaviour and habit ( not the people you bought him from, but before that). I'm sure he'll come right though and you can't but love him, he's gorgeous 😊
DayByDay Vlogs Laura, I think Sophie is trying her best to ride well, so please take this as just helpful observations to consider. Sophie needs help from Brandon & Fiona to work on her seating & hands. The reason she couldn't control him is because her seating wasn't aligned & she only holds the reins in a tight death grip, pulling back on his mouth all the time. That will frustrate him since she also wants him to canter, so she's giving him direction to canter & to slow down at the same time. Re: her seating: because she's so concerned about keeping her reins pulled too tight (she's worried about keeping him from going too fast) it pulls her shoulders over his withers so when he put his head down it pulled her even further forward & she couldn't keep her seat. The rule for seating is the line from your ear should go straight down through your shoulder, hips & heels. Watch her seating in this vid, she's leaning too far forward constantly, because she's pulling on the reins so tight. She's doing it out of fear, but pulling on the reins constantly won't teach him to slow down or not bolt. She needs help from Brandon & Fiona with this too. Love Fiona, but I think Brandon can teach her more quickly, I've noticed you talk alot to Fiona when she's trying to teach which can cause her to miss some things with the girls. (Honestly I'd be the worst distraction for a trainer, I'm way too chatty, so I'm not critisizing you, just an observation I've had.😄) Remember Finn was the horse with the good brakes, he'd stop instantly & was much quieter when you first got him. You need to ask why this has all changed. The behaviors you're seeing now are from how Sophie rides, (because she's afraid) please talk to Brandon about helping her with seating, hands & getting past her constant fear, Finn will only get worse otherwise. Both you & Sam did well telling her to get back on (& no screaming from you👍), but it is Finn she needs to get back on not Storm, even if she gets lead by Gabby off of Storm. Otherwise you're teaching Finn the way to get Sophie not to ride him is dump her, & he'll eventually be too much horse for her to handle. Learn from what happened with Stella, Sophie fell off, screamed while on Stella when she couldn't handle her & then no longer rode her. Stella progressively spooked more & more. Fortunately Gabby started riding Stella & did so calmly & consistently. Stella is no longer the spooky horse, in fact Sophie is now more afraid of Finn than she is Stella. Hope all this didn't sound too critical, I just think you need to get it turned around sooner rather than later before Sophie becomes too afraid to ride lovely sweet Finn. Maybe also get Brandon to ride Finn to show you how to handle these problems.
He wasn’t bucking just crow hopping, I’ve been crow hopped off too lol Glad Sophie’s okay!
Yea i agree
so have I lmao it’s kinda fun tbh (still hurts)
I love how Gabbie is enjoying it. 😂😂I mean she goes “his rears are so smooth” but he wouldn’t have reared had she just let him walk for a little bit longer. But good for Sophie for getting back on!! She’s improved so much in her confidence since I’ve first started watching you guys
Sophie:sobbing Gabby:his rears are smooth
I have some thickness in my thighs (that how you spell it) but I can not ride stirrupless for my life. And I can only ride my own horse without tack. Cant ride bareback on any other horse😂
@me lol
Riding stirrup less is about having strength in your calves because that where u should be squeezing when you post.
I would get Finn looked at because he does look a bit uncomfortable, but both girls did an amazing job, but remember he’s always trying to tell you something. Amazing job though xx❤️❤️
Honestly i think Sophie is so lucky to have Gabby as her older sister who’s very brave and will get off her horse to give Finn a lesson and will deal with everything he does just for Sophie. ❤️
Since Sophie is still learning, it is easy for Finn to take advantage of her. Finn is not "crazy" Sophie is just not able to teach him to act correctly. I suggest doing some dressage work/lateral work, would help lift up his back and he would reach his head down.
Exactly!
Mayba have a chiropractor out for finn, my mare did that to non stop, after the chiro she was great, or the saddle doesn't fit, love your videos
This was his first ride most chiro. She comes every month.
@@DayByDayVlogs sorry forgot that lol, she is pretty brave at least she doesn't get mad at him
Could be the saddle, then? He has changed, but the saddle hasn't.
All Finn was doing was bunny hopping it's not actually a buck but good job Sophie for sticking it I know how you feel I got bucked of my 13.3hh arabXwelsh and broke 4 vertebraes in my back.
Dom Phillips it’s called a bronc but ye
@@horsesandme8481 no, a Bronco is a horse that keeps bucking non stop. He was bouncing or as this person likes to say, bunny hopping and i respect that they like to call it that
H4L Horses I am aware what a bronc is thanks! Also- i am aware that people have different opinions! All equestrians are different
H4L Horses and also he was bucking continuously
@@horsesandme8481 He wasn't bucking, he was bouncing but i don't want to start a fight so, to you its bucking, to me it's bouncing
I really like how Gabby just took a second to pat Finn and calm him then walked off fine after ❤️
Wow Sophie no tears and you got back on. I’m so proud of u
HUGEEEEEE IMPROVEMENT SOPH! No screaming at all yay! Just some no no no no no haha. Super proud of your confidence x
Annabel Galea ikr YAYYYYYYY
It’s so good to see how Sophie handled the fall, she got right back on even though it was on Storm!❤️ It is very good that she didn’t loose her confidense either😊 It’s funny how Gabby is enjoying Finn being so naughty haha, they have both gotten so far!
Well done Sophie for getting back on again after falling off, that's a great attitude to have. I know from experience that it's not always easy to get back on again as it is often the last thing you want to do. My horse is quite unbalance and will speed up in trot which makes me lose balance and fall off I often lean forward when this happens. My instructor tells me to sit up tall and this has really helped as it slows my boy right down and has really helped my confidence. Well done Gabby for getting on Finn and not letting him get away with rearing and for ending the ride on a positive note. I'm new to horse ownership and love watching your videos, I love Laura's positive attitude, it's really inspiring to me. Sam seems really relaxed and laid back too which I think the horses pick up on.
Omg! I love how Sophie was like “IM OK” and she didn’t cry and her confidence seems fine!!! Go Sophia!!!!!
I love how gabby is not afraid of rearing or bucking and got straight on phin and was bossing him about
For anyone who questions if the girls get along, that was such a good sister moment. Sophie saying “Fin, Gabby’s not gonna let you do anything” , that trust that her big sister will not only let her ride her horse but also help her school her pony. That’s love. They are both becoming such strong riders!!
She’s still learning and honestly did a really good fall! Finn is still adjusting to Sophie and she is still learning how to ride with contact. She let go of the reins and tucked her body to roll which was great- one thing to do is just say steady so that he slows don a little. She did amazing. Hope her back side isn’t too sore and confidence is okay. You guys should lunge him (and sensitizing/desensitizing) before every ride. It works wonders, builds relationship, respect and trust. Hope Sophie’s okay, not the worst fall but still hurts! don't forget heels down . shes doing really well and im glad that Gabby is supporting her. Sophie riding storm will really help her confidence. I LOVE HOW THEY HELP AND SUPPORT EACH OTHER
I loved it when gabby said “if he bolts don’t go AUUUAHAH’’ lol
Here’s a tip: if your horse is fresh or if they haven’t been ridden in a while try lunging them it helps getting all there pentup energy out or have and advanced rider ride them before. Just a little tip I hope you try this next time!
Gabby is like me with the rearing and horses just misbehaving as my horse rears as high as she can and tries to walk on rear and bucks and kicks in the air nothing much I just enjoy it 🙃
Same I just enjoy it unless I’m on the floor
Kobynlola when I fall off I’m like this floor is soft and nice on concrete 🙂 but the saddles more nicer 😂 debating the what’s softer 😑
I don't mind when my horse plays up. Though she only does it when shes in a really good mood.
I tried enjoying rearing when I had my horse than he decided to be a Lipizzaner and start twirling while rearing. I almost ended up in the back of a pick up truck so I kind of had to to bail because it was just too dangerous. Bucks I love them and I can sit them so easy
Same
Sophie did such a good job. Finn is new and they are still getting used to each other. Finn is just testing her out and everything will come good. My horse did the exact same thing when I first got him and we are both getting used to each other and growing out of it.
Everything will come good for Sophie and Finn just give it some time and a lot of love💕
Oh my goodness I never clicked on a video so fast 😅😂love the videos
I think what happened is when Finn jolted, Sophie's leg went back what makes the horse buck. You did great Sophie!
EDIT- Also I think you should do a swapping horses for 24 hours challenge! It's great to get the horses used to different riders!
Gabby was such a supportive sister right then! The way she got off Storm to swap horses was so kind of her. I hope Sophie is ok after her fall, but after all, every equestrian has to fall one time. But Sophie got back up and then rode Storm which is a really brave thing to do. If Finn gets too spicy maybe try lunging before riding?
Sophie handled the fall so much better then her previous falls! She just needs to build core muscles so she can keep herself up when he does to buck! Also, when Gabby got on Finn, she said he bolted on her. He didn’t bold he just went quick. A bolt is when a horse starts cantering/galloping away without being asked to do anything!
It’s so funny that gabby is enjoying the rearing.
Laura (about Storm) : is he gonna buck?
Finn: Well maybe I could..
He didn't buck, he crow hopped but kinda the same thing, as both can be scary. When Sophia was about to fall, she kept kicking Finn, now I'm not sure if that did any good or worse but it wasn't fully her fault. Ofc, it's never the horse's fault since Finn is still learning but so is Sophia.
Finn was rearing because he was frustrated with gabby. She was pulling back on the reins (also why he was flipping his head) and kicking him, which was giving him mixed signals, and he didn’t know what to do. If she would have loosened her reins, sat back, and squeezed with her legs he would have gone forward and been a good horse with no problems. Also using voice commands like “hey” or “woah” in a calm voice instead of yelling “Get up!”. Horses have 60x better hearing than us it scares them when we make loud noises. (They can also hear your heartbeat, so when your nervous they hear your heart racing and get nervous too). So all I’m saying is try to be more calm when correcting your horses, and being all tough might seem like it “looks cool” or something but trust me being calm is a lot better and the horse will be happier.
Gabby is an amazing sister and an amazing rider. Finn was a little cheeky that lesson and Gabby was so calm and she was rocking it. Sophie's attitude was great. Good for her to get back on even if it was Storm. 💜💜🦄🐴
he didn’t buck! he was just playing and bouncing cause he was fed up and then he got mad that gabby got mad at him lol. maybe lunge or turn out finn before sophie rides him? especially after a week off
Great job getting back on Sophie! Just a little tip that may help Sophie: when Finn starts bucking or “playing” look up and try to lean back a little. It helps keep balance. (This is just a suggestion, not hate 🤗) Also Gabby did great on Finn! Both have improved so much! ❤️
Sophie is still learning. Finn is a good pony for her; she developed so much confidence ever since getting him. She dealt with falling off of him well! Sometimes, a cheeky pony can provide just the right amount of challenge, if the rider is ready for that challenge. Also, at least a pony is closer to the ground if you happen to fall off lol. I do like your ring set up; it’s so pretty in the summer! Just be sure to every once in a while, go through the ring to look for any stones or rocks you can pick out! Are you planning on eventually changing the footing in there, or keeping it as a grass arena? At least Sophie got back on a horse, and that she is ok! I remember after falling, she would not want to get back on!
I am so glad Sophie got back up! ❤️The pony saddle pad on storm made him look so much bigger😂😂
DayByDay you are the best family ever love you so much and hope that Sophie will get well soon. I know what it feels like to be bucked off when I was jumping my horse bucked me off after we landed. Sophie I am so proud of you for always being happy on Finn and never giving up that shows how much you have improved. Feel better soon and I am so proud of you for getting back on a horse at the end.
Sophie, be careful about yelling when that happens. He was just crow hopping, and yelling never makes it better. ❤️ also be careful Gabby, because he’s little rears seem to be caused by you yanking on the reins but also kicking forward. Always release pressure and don’t kick and block movement at the same time. ❤️
Oh NO!!! Bless her!!! Hope everyone is ok after the tumble, we've just rescued a foal and he bit the vet today... ponys are such naughty critters \m/
Sophie is so brave for not crying or getting scared when she fell
I am so proud she didn’t scream, but that wasn’t a buck that was a crow hop:)
watching the way gabby handles Finn and storm when he’s stubborn makes me so proud she’s come so far!!!❤️
Gabby needs to ride Finn more often to help both girls! Gabby rode him so well.
14:02 is the fall off
Thank me later 😁
Thx I was trying to find it
I loved that she said I’m okay and got up Sophie is becoming a much more stronger rider shh don’t tell gabby but I think she might take gabby over in riding ❤️🏇
Al And Blue I also think that Sophie might over take gabby. No hate but I do think that Sophie soon will be as good as gabby and eventually I think that she will be a bit better than gabby. xxx
Daisy Milner what’s not true 😂
I am so proud of Sophie for her attitude after her fall! I wonder what in the world made Finn like that. It’s something specific that’s for sure. I wouldn’t think it was because he hasn’t been ridden because he was so good up until that point.
The reason that Finn acted out was because he was sensing her fear of him. And he was getting mixed emotions. And when she asked him to canter to started to bounce a little, but he never bucked. And after that first of canter that she did, she gave him a HUGE KICK, which told him to go. So of course he did, and she easily got unbalanced and fell off. It wasn't Finn's fault at all. Just hope that you don't take this the wrong way, Sophie should be glad that she has a sister that isn't afraid of Finn, her horse. I just saying that if "finn" keeps doing this, Sophie could get badly injured.
I love sophie's reaction after it😂❤, good job guys❤
My coach calls those crow hops when they put there head down and hop like that. Kick em and pull up on the reins.
I couldn’t say for sure without riding him for about a month, but Finn might be the kind of horse that can not have a day off. I have a horse and for the first 3 months I had him he didn’t get a day without some sort of riding. Now some days we just walked or went for a jog, but he got at least an hour under saddle everyday. The difference in him was amazing. This horse had only been under saddle a few months, and was getting nowhere. In a consistent program he went from jumping 2’ to 3’9” and 3’ courses. He went from a kimberwick to a loose ring French link snaffle, and from fussiness and choppy gaits to carrying himself as properly as he could with the muscle he’s got. I know people fuss and say your horse needs at least one day off but if they have 2/3 days of small work it’s fine :) anyway like I said I couldn’t say for sure without riding him! She handled the fall well and I hope she’s not too sore!
As for his behavior with Gabby, I honestly would’ve taken a crop and popped his butt for that nonsense, with a firm “quit it!” And made him move forward. That was ridiculous, and him thinking he was allowed to do what he pleased. He’s definitely becoming a bit sassy 🙈
Yesterday my horse got really happy and excited after a jump at out Pony Club lesson which resulted in a little bucking. I fell off an blacked out but got right back on after from the ground to finish my course. My whole back was in terrible pain and my vison was blurry. Hours and hours went by and ibuprofen wasn't helping. That night I was brought into the ER where we did a cat scan on my brain and Xrays of my chest and spine. I also got blood work done which I think was the worst part lol. I have eventing camp in a few weeks and am hoping my Dr's clear me for riding soon!!
Huuummm finn is not crazy. Sophie just can't ride him...
If the horse is hard why did you buy it ??? Stop complaining and admit that she was the one in the wrong not the horse !!! If she can not control him get another horse, Finn is obviously not at her level so he requires a more advanced rider
I agree 100% !!!! Just look at how gabby handled him! I don’t know why they got him for Sophie. It actually kind of annoys me.
Finn is only young - he's so much to learn too and will also be testing whoever rides him.
He needs to be ridden more by Sophie - that's how they will both learn. xxx
My gelding gets in a bit of a mood every once and a while where he thinks he knows best and will throw a fit, I just give him a little swat with a crop and he will then listen, but every horse has a different reaction that's just what helps me. And good job Sophie some people hold the reins as they fall and continue to get dragged.
something gabby might want to try when Finn starts rearing because he doesn't want to go forward instead of kicking and applying continuous, trying applying one leg after the other or alternating pressure with your legs. my 6 year old OTTB will rear if i don't alternate legs. great job riding Finn through his tantrum though gabby!
"Beacause Finn is crazy” - Laura 2019 😂x
Good job Sophie! Honestly think the best thing to do if you fall or after anything sudden or shocking like a fall (after making sure you're safe) is to scream I'M OKAY! because it just lightens your mood and you do feel okay. Even if you are a little hurt it just makes you feel better. And man Gabby is definitely a future horse trainer 😂
This is why you don't over horse yourself. A baby horse with a novice rider is a recipe for disaster.
Sophia the bronc rider! Jkjk
Way to go Soph your confidence level is getting much better you have improved heaps since last year I can only imagine after everything! You go girl!❤️
Awee Sophie!! Omg. Her reaction after was the best. ❤️
Sophie handled that so well!! She should be so proud of her attitude after the fall! Such a huge improvement! And I bet Finn was just feeling a bit fresh and testy after having a week off! Seeing what he can get away with! Gabby handled it perfectly and I know Sophie will be able to handle that in no time at all!
He did seem fresh. Excited. I could see he was ready to go before she even asked him. Then when sophie wasn't balanced he was confused
@@DayByDayVlogs yep! but sophie certainly handled it very well! her confidence has improved by miles and she should be so proud!
Gabby: -liking Finns rear-
Laura: oh no pls god
Gabby: this is fun
She handled that so well. I fell off 2 weeks ago. My pony bolted and I had so many brush burns I was more scarred for my arm than my horse!! I probably should have just ridden it and get it stopped but I decided to fall☹ I got back on but was led by my mom and I was only on for a little bit but I'm fine and they thought we would have go to the hospital but I'm fine and my arm is healing well
Good job!
@@DayByDayVlogs thank you💖
She is too inexperienced for him
When she asked him or her idk to canter, she falled off like, right after that. She leaned forward. (which I don’t recommend) I survived a full on gallop (which I didn’t tell her to gallop) with no stirrups without leaning forward. Also, don’t say no no, say, WOAH! EASY! The horse doesn’t really care about the ‘no no’
Yw?
The reason horse bug spray (fly spray) only lasted a few minutes is because it gets absorbed into people's skin, however horse's skin is more rubbery so it will work better for them.
Wow I'm actually early 😂 Finn was feeling sassy I guess😂😂
I’m so proud of Sophie!!!
Sophie: 'I'm thinking about where I want to go and how to get there!'
Laura: 'Good job! Even I don't do that, I just... pray'
Same Laura, same😂
I don't think he was just being cheeky, it's not really like him. Please get him checked out soon.. It's not always the horses fault. He could be in pain, and Gabby seemed to be enjoying it a bit too much. I think you do great with your horses and I am so proud of Sophie for getting back on!! I'm not saying it in a horrible way, but I know you guys listen to our advice and I'm just trying to be helpful x
He does act like this often. He is impulsive and reactive. He is still pretty young. He has done this with brandan before but brandan could stop him.
Hey Laura do you know what the stable you got storm at is called? Thx! 😊
First! But i hope Sophie is ok❤️ love you guys. I also hope fin is ok but maybe he should be lunged more.
Sophie did a good job. One thing when Gabby was riding Finn afterwards remember to reward him when he moves forward even if it is just one step. But very well done to them both x
What Finn did was canter, then he starting romping because he knew Sophie was already halfway off. It’s better that she fell or Finn would’ve trotted away with Sophie hanging on! But she did the right thing when she was about to fall, she tucked her head and got ready to roll. Her attitude after the fall was so positive! Love you guys 💛
Fin barely reared and gabbys goes omg I just sat them
gabby is so kind if i fell of my sister would say get on your own horse sis
Rhythm Basnet stolen :(
I suggest check the saddle because bucking isn’t normal horse behaviour, the same happened with my horse every time I wanted to canter, if you slide your hand down the front of the saddle it should slide down perfectly if not it’s to tight in the shoulders so when Sophie asks for canter it’s pushing on them and then Sophie is leaning forward and pushing too, and I loved the way Sophie acted after her fall lol. Love you guys
Horses buck for fun too, you can tell from their body language if they're bucking to get you off or just from excess energy. Horses buck running round fields all the time with no rider and as a defence mechanism so really don't know how you think it's not normal horse behaviour?
Ellie Hensey it’s not normal when a rider is on the back, Finn looked like he weren’t moving very swiftly and because it was leading into canter he did it it makes me think it’s the saddle as Sophie was leaning forward aswell
finn isnt "crazy" he is just a young pony. pony's are cheeky
I’m sorry but that wasn’t bucking and it wasn’t rears but I hope ur ok Sophie
Sophie, you never, ever let their head drop. Because this is what happens. I'm so proud of you for getting back on Storm. Remember this, YOU ARE STILL LEARNING THE BODY CLUES!!! And you are a young rider. We all are learning about different horses, along with our own, from the time we start riding we are always learning!! Laura in that situation, it was best for her to go off on her terms. That was the first thing I was taught at the standstill, walk, trot then canter. You have to know how to fall to fall safely. And be very proud of her attitude. She got on Storm with minimal crying. That was fantastic to see!! I'm so proud of her!! And having Gabby get up on Fynn was also good. Because she rode him through, told him to knock it off, and he went well for her. 1. Because she is a more advanced rider than Sophie is and 2. She won't put up with his shenanigans. Best Regards from Ottawa, Jenn.
my advice would be to lunge before sophie rides him and i think she has grown so much as a rider and seeing her getting confidence back is so amazing! love you guys
My horse pig roots which is what finnny was doing I taught my horse to stop doing it by sitting really far back like leaning back and then if they buck or anything you have to kick them on and just make them go all out fast in the canter, I also had my horses back checked and saddle checked if it fit him ahah. Oh I also got a half pad which released with pressure or pinching if that could also be the case.
so proud of you girls... finn knows with gabby he wont get his own way thats why he is good with her, cause gabby will get on and wont let him have it.
Sophie needs to learn to balance better. In the mean time gabby (I think that’s her name) should ride Finn and school him. Sophie should do lots of ground work with Finn in a round pen and on the lunge line so he learns to respect her and listen to her.
EDIT: sorry didn’t realize how old this video was! I’ll leave this comment here for future reference I suppose lol
You did great Sophie! Just remember when this happens, sit up, pull him up and tell him no! He isn’t allowed to that. He can’t just choose when he doesn’t want to canter or not. But great job Sophie you did great!
Edit: you girls remind me of myself XD you just stand up and say “I’m ok!” And my last fall (2 weeks ago) my Rainer didn’t even see bc she was watching the other person in my group she turned around and saw me on the ground and I stood up and just said “I’m ok!” 😹😹😹 it was on a new pony I fell as well, but none of us blame him it was his 5th ride in a year soooo.. yeah, thats was nice 😹😹
I love you guys and your videos! I just wanted to say Thankyou for saying Sophie needs to learn and that it’s not all Finn... I just don’t like when the horse is always blamed by people so you’re doing it right😊 Also, I agree with you.... Finn is good for her. He will really teach her how to ride and how to be strong and confident as a rider. Keep up the great work!
Sophie I’m ok, bless that child. Well done Gabby for not letting him get away with anything x
Gabby’s rising trot with no stirrups was amazing
honestly, I think its good to have sophie ride these horses that do "kind of bucks" because those episodes will teach her to stay on, learn to stay on bigger bucks, and make her a better, more confident rider. constructive criticism: make sure you have a light hand and your heels stay down so your calf doesn't slide back, pushing your top half on his neck. I personally have some trust issues with my new horse cause she would throw massive bucks, but you just have to learn that that's a big chunk of this sport. hope this is helpful!!
wow! a while back Stella spooked with Gabby and she was screaming as Stella bolted around the ring! Now she got on a rearing and bucking horse, enjoying the ride! her improvement is amazing!
