Loose Leash Walking: • How to teach a dog to ...
I will be giving my point of view on the methods being used, as well as giving the animal(s) in this video a voice. Don't blindly follow what someone says, even if they are a "professional", use your own critical thinking skills and question the tools, the method, and the trainers.
I am using all footage under the Fair Use Act for criticism and educational purposes, and do not wish for anyone to send hateful messages to the original poster. I hope to spread awareness about this type of unnecessary and dangerous practice that is so prevalent in the dog training world and horsey world, and to give these animals a better life. Let me know what you think of it, and what you would like to see next time! Until then, practice Patience, Peace, and Pawsitivity! :3

Tara is ALWAYS very hard on the bit. Bella foams all the time. Sadly Tara will never ever listen. Never. I think she loves the horse, I do. But yes she is very hard on her. Bella is a beautiful and smart horse. 🤠💕🐴
I think Bella is an Andalusian..God Bless her sweet heart 🙏
Thanks for the input, good to know! She is a sweet little soul ❤️🐴
@@christinerauh6416 yes she is
Thanks for commenting on Tara. I am a non-equestrian and know very little about horses, but I can see that the rider is holding Bella's head too tight. Anyway, I worry for Bella and am sad for Farouk. I started watching Tara and Farouk when she first got him. What a lovely horse with such a sweet disposition.
It's very painful to watch but not as much pain as this poor mare is suffering.
There are some points I'd like to make and I need to vent.
Yes the bit is much too high but also she has the throat latch far too tight. There have been some videos where Bella cannot flex her head and neck as she's being strangled. I was taught halfway down the cheek bone and a four inch gap between.
She trots Bella at ridiculous speeds on the roads and downhill. She also canters/gallops on hard surfaces like tracks. She could get Navicular Disease from the jarring and damaged tendons or joints. At five she is still a baby and not finished growing.
If you're right about the removal of her whiskers, this is downright cruel. We never removed whiskers. It deprives the poor horse of one of its main senses.
Thank you for highlighting this again, it's a very fair video of an inconsiderate and uncaring rider.
Thanks for the review ,, umm few things to point out : 1. Yes, Bella did wear the flying mask before but it was sunny , 2. The endurance ride was a pleasure ride for 20 Kilometers, so imagine that with the awful mask on her face , poor Bella 3. Bella is 5 yrs old now, so yeah she is young and as far as I know you should kneeling forward at the jump and Tara is so heavy for Bella and some people did comment on that video. I hope this helps and thanks for sharing again.
Thanks for the input, always helpful to get learn more about the horse world 😁🐴
Poor Bella, she can never get a break from Tara yanking on the bit. Even when they jump, (which you are supposed to release). In my opinion, Tara should not be jumping at all. She needs to go back to basics to improve her seat and quiet her hands. Tara shouldn’t be jumping Bella either, she clearly needs more flatwork & groundwork done.
Thanks for another great video! ^^
I'm glad you enjoyed it! 😊🐴
Absolutely agree that until she can walk, trot and canter and do proper transitions in a relaxed manner, she should not be jumping.
This is the first sensible comment I’ve seen. More groundwork, they’re both unbalanced and Tara isn’t fit enough to be jumping, a too young horse.
Painful to watch this
You're not wrong 😥
So much wrong with that last picture, legs too far back, saddle doesn't fit, rider tilting forward etc
Tara drives me nuts! I have posted several times on her videos that she is constantly pulling back on the reins, balancing on them, and seems afraid to ever have a loose rein (or even slightly loose). That is because she would fall off! That is her balance! And yes, sack of potatoes. She's been told by viewers numerous times that she is too heavy for that horse. She doesn't seem to care about the horse - just her fun when she's riding the horse. And that "trainer" needs to go! She's not helping at all, and doesn't tell Tara what she's doing wrong. Tara also leans forward before a jump, and then lift her hands up high as the horse jumps. Is that supposed to "help" the horse jump? I feel so bad for this horse, and am thrilled that you honestly reviewed this video. Tara really needs a wake-up call. This horse will not remain sound past the age of ten with Tara riding her this way.The horse has her ears back, and her eyes show how uncomfortable she is, as well as her pinched nostrils. One of these days, that horse is going to throw her, and then, of course, it will be the horse's fault!
I bet if the trainer actually critisized her riding - meaning, actually teaching her and telling what she does wrong - Tara would just call her a bully and find another trainer, who would only keep on saying "good", "well done" and feeding Tara's ego. Because god forbid someone points out something about her equitation
Agree 100%.
@Vakrai Tara has another trainer, who told her twice to ease the tension on her reins! Did she ? No!
Bella knows what to expect the second she enters any arena, tight, tight, reins, and Tara yanking on her mouth because she grasps on those reins for dear life! Poor Bella 😢
@@beverleybalshaw9119 Is the other trainer you mentioned the one Tara took group lessons from?
I feel sorry for Bella, she is such a lovely and smart mare. What mortifies me the most - is that there is little to none progress made over the last few years, comparing the videos.
You have to be blind and delusional not to see how uncomfortable Bella is under the saddle, he's always hollowed out, unbalanced and erratic, just like her rider. There's zero team work happening, and 100% blame on Bella for being "under the weather", "stubborn", "opinionated", "spicy", you name it.
Tara's channel is an echo chamber of people who don't understand horses' body language, and look into each others mouths for validation, to be told they're right. The chronic inability to take critisizm is dowright impressive. The drama that happened between Tara and Rick Gore few years ago was the prime example.
@@Vakrai It’s about accountability and Tara will never accept that. It’s winds me up when her adoring followers say how naughty Bella is being, absolute delusional idiots.
People are getting very sad for Bella, Tara is not popular just my opinion, i get so mad as not far from her and could help her so much xx love and peace angel xx
Glad I am not the only one finding Tara’s jumping technique painful to watch but she listens to no one for helpful constructive criticism?
Why on earth has she got the reins too tight?
Tara is tipping forward all the time because that’s such a poor fitting saddle. Just watched another of her videos and the whole back of the saddle was lifting up as Bella was stood still. That poor, poor mare. Only 5 years old too! She’s going to be extremely lucky to not have any back issues/pain/problems down the line, even in the near future. No wonder she looks like she’s in pain and acts like this! Plus add in Tara having such a super short rein and pulling on her mouth. I feel so sorry for Bella 💔
@@EquineAshthere are most likely pain issues from when Bella reared and went over backwards. The ill fitting saddle and bouncing rider is making it worse. I feel really sorry for her too, she's a lovely mare.
@@elizabethireland3192 I recall seeing a video having a saddle fitter come out to see Bella as she does have trouble finding a decent fitting saddle apparently.
@@Sue-D1101 if the saddle has been fitted properly a while ago it could be because the mare has changed shape as she's matured and her fitness has increased. I've had young horses that have required a new saddle every couple of years as they grow and fill out. I still think Bella has a back issue too.
I saw your reaction vid and for the first time in months took a look ot Tara's channel and what do you know - new video uploaded today: new school, new instructor. Unfortunately a ton of cuts (the unedited version would be elucidating as heck!) But we see her attempft to try and coach Tara through the process of releasing the tension in the horse which of course does not work at all, because Tara herself gets so tense and terrified that Bella picks up on it and takes it as a reinforcement that she is correct in being spooked by the poles and the ground because Tara's body is broadcasting lous and clear that yes, they are indeed currently in mortal danger... What is also quite clear is that the instructor must at some prior point have told Tara to ease up on the bloody tight reins to get the horse to relax and we see, clear as day, that Tara is absolutely unable to excert ANY sort of control over Bella when she isn't pulling on the reins: she is a terrified passenger LITERALLY just along for the ride with no legs, no seat, no weight aids, no balance. No ability to so much as slow her own frantic posting-, let alone sit a damn trot either. It is an absolute shambles. The usual frantic voice commands are reliably ignored by poor Bella who, for once in her life, gets an inch more rein for a moment here or there, but damningly keeps her head EXACTLY where it always is (and how should she know any different, because galaxy-brain Tara figured out that instead of guiding your horse to NATURALLY/HONESTLY stretch forward-downward through legs, seat and hands, she can teach her animals to UNNATURALLY/FAKE lower their heads in a sham display of relaxation without engaging the back muscles to carry the weight of the rider, which is the damn point of that excercise, simply by yelling "HEAD DOWN!"), anticipating the next yank on the bit.
I'd bet dollars to donuts that we will NOT see Tara return to that trainer after that display of poor horsemanship on her part, even though OF COURSE the entire performance gets reliably blamed on "Bella being Bella" and misbehaving again...
Very noticable in that-, as well as this video you comment on here (to me as someone who has not "seen" Bella in several months) is the beginning of both a sway-back and a ewe lamb-neck. In a FIVE YEAR OLD who only gets ridden a couple of hourse each week, I assume. It's a bloody disgrace - at this rate, Bella won't make it to 8 before she's done for.
Lastly: what in the fresh heck compels Tara to believe she has ANY business trying to jump Bella in the first place - does she have a death wish for the both of them? NO balance, NO ability to direct or hold the horse and - I am very sorry to say - WAY too much weight to consider jumping when neither her nor the horse are (or ever will get at the level/frequency of training she can offer Bella herself) anywhere near the physical shape/muscle tone required to make that a healthy endeavor for Bella's back. This is getting very close to external intervention territory.
A lot of great points! 🐴
@@K9Tay Sorry for going off on such a rant - this video (and the other two from the last few days that feature "jump training") just REALLY caught me off guard and launched me straight into a frothing fury.
@BismarcksOtto no need to apologize, that's what this channel is for! I want to give a place to those who have felt frustrated with advice that has fallen on deaf ears. I hear all of you loud and clear. Although it's advice meant for Tara, I am absolutely willing to take it all in to better myself for the future 😊🐴
@@BismarcksOtto Loved your rant and you are 100% correct on all levels. This woman does have a knack of getting peoples blood boiling.
Extremely well said, I sit watching in bewilderment and in all honesty I wish I could stop watching, bit like a train wreck I suppose, can't not look, and don't get me started on the comments from her subscribers, lord above ahhhhh 😂
There is so much wrong with the way Tara rides and handles her horses. On one of her videos she was recommending stronger bits if you can’t control your horse. Oh no, I disagree with that.
Of course she recommends that, because she has no idea what she's talking about 🤦♀️ it's the HUMAN not the horse, poor Bella 🐴😓
K9Tay,
I was so happy and excited to see your new Tara video!
Everything you said was on point!
I don’t understand these trainers that care more about money than the animal.
You can clearly see that this horse and rider duo isn’t ready for small jumps.
It make’s me sick!
I’m like you, I want a big, thick necked, Percheron to ride in a halter around trails and bond with it, desensitize it and just enjoy life together.
I don’t understand Tara.
Thank you, for another wonderful, informative video!
You are the best!
I love your new Husky/Shepherd boy.
I know he’s not permanent, but what a cutie!
Can’t wait to see your journey with him!❤️👋
Thank you!! I wish so much I still had him, but he is already with a new forever family!!❤️ I miss him a lot but he was such a a dang little cutie 🥰🐺
I get so frustrated by this woman, she used to say she was to old for jumping whilst riding farouk and apollo, she uses the reins to keep her balance which is awful for bella as her mouth is yanked on, i hope farouk has got a lovely home and is no longer run ragged everywhere poor guy, ive noticed her views are down loads compared to what they used to be, i think people are fed up with trying to give advice and being shot down in flames, i have a feeling that apollo will be up for sale before long, ive also wondered what happened to her brother steve who used to ride apollo and be in a lot of videos, he seemed to just disappear around the time bella arrived, never seen him since!
@@mishamandrake1677 you should watch Cajou & Co , pony cam and Equin Mollie very Entertaining really.
Tara has sold Ren's saddle that he used on Apollo, so maybe they will? It seems strange that they have a lovely big horse doing nothing in a field whilst she's clearly struggling on with Bella.
@@Isobel201 I know it's bizarre, he's so well mannered and trained and he's more of a fit for her size, I don't think he's fast enough for her, that's the only thing I can think off, she can't gallop him round everywhere.
@@mishamandrake1677 I love Apollo he’s a beautiful horse and if at all possible more suited to Tara.
@@Isobel201 From memory I think she sold Apollos saddle as it was too heavy for her to lift so it was exchanged for a lighter one.
Hyacinth Bucket.Everything is for show and keeping up appearances.
I watched that video of Bella in the arena, I thought Bella looked very uncomfortable and her walk looks stiff and awkward. I have seen quite a few of Tara's videos, and over time, I notice how Bella becomes irritated while training in the arena. She always seems to be bothered by the bit - not surprising if it's too tight in her mouth. There are better horse channels, where the horses are treated more gently, that I'll watch.
I don't like being mean in any way but I do want to be honest... I just think Tara is a little too big and unfit to ride Bella.. Also you're right about Bella not being ready both physically and mentally... Tara just seems to be doing too much (jumping and endurance).
Sometimes we need to just slow down and allow horses to enjoy spending time with us whether that's on the ground or on their back. Bella is pretty young too isn't she? She needs some time to just be a horse, learn to relax.. Maybe Tara could get into positive reinforcement training and do some liberty with her (I think that would be fantastic for Bella).
Bella definitely needs to go back to the basics, or even groundwork... Work on getting her head down and relaxed, ride on a loose rein etc (I'd also remove the bit).
Agreed. Bella is 5, and she was started at 3 if I remember correctly. My friend who used to be a riding instructor, was always impressed with Tara's riding, and not in a good way. If she could, she'd make Tara ride with no reins for a while, and no stirrups too. It's a problematic concoction: Bella is way too young and underfit for her age, to be able to carry Tara comfortably, and Tara has no balance of her own, resulting in both the rider and the horse having a miserable time
Should I ask Tara what she thinks about riding without stirrups, at least, to help her balance better?
@@LaurieLambChops-yn6zy I think there's no hurt in trying, though I am sure that your comment will either get a) deleted or b) ignored, or c) her army of elderly ladies will scold you for trying to "tell Tara what to do", and that "she's been riding horses for 50 years, she knows what she is doing". I think it's a good idea to try nonetheless.
Also, I just thought of the possibility that Tara does ride without stirrups/reins sometimes, but too embarrassed to include the footage. However, it's really unlikely, since her equitation hasn't improved a bit.
@@LaurieLambChops-yn6zy Good luck with that, you will be barred like the rest of us who have tried to comment.
@@Vakrai oh yes no one can criticise Queen Tara, heaven forbid 🙄
I tried to tell Tara (politely and constructively) that her horse was showing lots of signs of the ridden horse in pain and Tara blocked me. Silly, silly woman who is ruining this poor horse.
That horse is a Saint
A sack of potatoes would be better balanced, I've never seen the mare ever look happy being ridden having to deal with a rider that has such un forgiving hands , the mare needs long reining to gain her confidence jumping is the last thing she should be doing as her walk trot and canter aren't even correct the mare is so genuine its a shame shes being ruined she always looks like she is trying to run away from underneath Tara , im guessing the mare is around 500kg to 525 kg so the rider should be around 61kg she looks heavier than that and being so un balanced won't be doing her back any good
😂 I couldn't help but laugh at the first comment, but it's true!
I can’t watch.
Thank you for giving horses a voice. 🤍
I understand, it's not easy to watch animals in pain. Thanks for the support! 💕🐴
Talking about it is only what we’re thinking, nothing will change.
@@lizroberts1569 Her latest video is with a new instructor who is actually telling her. Poor Bella is struggling to even go over poles in this video, she looks so stressed 😣
Back to ground exercise I think, as both of them look unbalanced. Tara said her reason for getting another horse was that she was getting older and wanted something less tall! 🤔 Bella is the kind of mare who needs lots of one to one, she’s Andalusian and has always been a little more excitable than the boys and yes she’s too heavy for this horse.
I'll be blunt. That rider is not sufficiently secure in the saddle to be jumping at all. The horse is tense - hollowed back, resulting in the high head carriage. I don't think this even has anything to do with the weight of the rider, just the rider's beginner level skills. At the very least, she should use a neck strap, instead of balancing on the reins. Better yet, put both on a lunge line, take away stirrups and reins. That rider needs to develop a seat, first and foremost.
Apparently she’s been riding most of her life and had multiple horses so hardly a beginner, she just looks like one.
@@Sue-D1101 How long a person has been riding doesn't mean they know how to ride. She either has not had any instruction at all, or it's been of really poor quality. Either that, or she has absolutely no talent for it (I used to know someone like that)! She needs to start over with the absolute basics.
@@user-fe7mg5ot9z I absolutely agree with you 100% it’s just unfortunate that Tara thinks that after her years of riding she is the expert and no one will ever tell her any different. Lots of us have tried and recommended places for her to go but it falls on deaf ears.
She is so rough handed, & rough on her seat. I rode and trained horses for my entire life- this reminds me of letting my friends tootle around on my horse for fun when they had little or no experience....is she for real?? And if the horse wants to move forward, either allow her to, or set up a gymnastic so she naturally must collect herself...ground poles accross the whole area length if need be, even off her back first and on a lunge line, burning a little energy off isn’t a bad thing if done fairly. I used to love just free lunging my horse and hopping on bareback on off days lol
I cringe whenever this horse jumps because thus woman just rips on her face. Give her her head? She's scopey! Which is actually a really fantastic trait in a horse for jumping.
Ew. That's all I have to say.
Hi angel xx WAS WAITING for this YES at last no whiskers observant. No balance been riding over half century. She uses reins to pull her body up, turn. It gets worse and worse. I would give her lunge lessons no saddle bridle, but she wont entertain me. Bit NEEDS to go down 4 holes minimum,when i teach, i would remove bridle if i saw this 1 sec9nd, they would be in a sheepskin headcollar, SORRY ANGEL XX You and i care so much, sadly we are in minority xx
R whiskers are trimmed off she's in trouble in the UK. It's actually been banned for some time now
I don't think it's 'banned' as per se. It's banned in competition, but I don't think it's banned outside of that.
Oh really?? Well it would be nice if it was banned outside of competition as well. I'm glad it's not allowed in shows though, that's a start!
Hard to tell whether she’s trimmed Bella’s whiskers but she has trimmed Apollo’s, there is a video of her doing it unless she’s taken it down.
How unfortunate 😔
The port horse is so uncomfortable with the jumping, and the rider needs to just kind of back off on the port horses mouth a little bit
I found a video from a few weeks ago where Bella was out riding in torrential rain, and at the end you can see that her whiskers weren't trimmed. Her whiskers aren't that easy to see, so it could just be that the lighting and camera quality in this video made it look like they weren't there.
Seems like Tara learned absolutely nothing from Farouk's great escape though, since in the same video, she takes the bridle off without putting the headcollar around her neck first whilst saying "Can we take the bridle off without you running off?" Just asking for disaster 🙄
yeah I donated an endurance bridle to her years ago, not sure if she has kept it or not because that was one where she was able to tie the horse up without undoing the headpiece.
This woman is just asking for trouble 🤦♀️
She has trimmed Apollos whiskers and his feathers which are part of a Friesians appeal. This woman should not be allowed to have horses, her treatment of poor Bella is hard to watch, I got banned from her channel for pointing out her shortcomings.
Great video and review as always. Poor Bella needs to be able to relax at the walk let alone jumping. She is so unbalanced all down to Tara’s lack of riding skill. This poor horse has endured so much whilst being ridden by Tara, it’s just cruel. The so called instructor in this video should be ashamed of herself not picking Tara up on her numerous faults. What kind of instructor doesn’t tell her pupil what she is doing wrong? Tara is far too heavy for Bella, and I fear how she will be in a few years time being ridden this way. The comments on her channel are mostly from people who know nothing about horses but for those that do, well we are all barred.
Even if Tara was 50 pounds lighter she wouldn't be right for this horse. Instructors used to take away stirrups (sometimes whole saddle) and reins and have rider hold arms out to the side to get an independent seat. It was on a lunge line.
When I learned to jump at 12, I was blessed to have an old Irishman teacher me. Took away reins and stirrups and send me down a jump lane lol.
He rightly said it's not the horses fault you can't ride and you're not compensating by popping him in the mouth. I thank god for him every day. ❤
@@tracyjohnson5023 Oh I remember this well. That’s similar to how I was taught.
@@tracyjohnson5023I well remember on the lunge, no stirrups or reins, trotting round circling my arms, holding them out to the sides. Best thing for balance. Tara rides like a complete beginning and has zero balance.
I’ve noticed tge comments from non horsey people saying wonderful things that they are unqualified to judge. She has little competitions to buy her used tack and carrots for the horses! Which I found very strange, everything is monetised
@@lizroberts1569 I think that’s strange also, she’s obviously not short of money, would be nice to donate her used tack but the carrot fund or buy me a coffee as I think it’s now called is a bit much.
Could be…why Farouk is gone she damaged his back and legs. IDK
Plus she started getting on her at age 3yrs old I believe. I can’t watch her at all.
It makes me to sad. She has no bond with Bella
Thank you K9tay ❤
@@donna_NC felt so sorry for farouk, I think she got rid because he wasn't totally sound, failed vet check on last endurance ride with high heart rate, poor guy was galloped into the ground, looks like bella will be heading the same way
I'm glad you enjoyed the content, I appreciate all the support from the horsey people! 🐴🐴🥳
@@mishamandrake1677I don't watch her channel anymore it's to cruel. I also read from someone she tried to sell farouk quite a while ago but he failed a vet check so buyers pulled out, this was way before she announced he was up for sale so she knew he had problems. Not sure what it was but probably down to her appalling riding. Why does her instructor allow her to jump!
@@nicolavalentine5405 I also have read that too, last endurance ride he failed because of very high heart rate, he also looked so thin and no muscle mass, she looked far to big for his slight frame, poor guy, she said his heartrate was high to to taking rug off him and he was cold, I don't think she has any personal attachment to any of her horses, no genuine love for them, their there to serve a purpose and I find that sad!
@@mishamandrake1677 agree she's a hard natured women
She's absolutely horrendous, she can't ride and I really feel for these horses 😢 why she throws her hands like that when she jumps is beyond me . Without her on bellas back I bet she would jump beautifully
Andalusian’s are not easy horses to sit, they have a choppy trot and I think this leads to additional unbalanced too, the head carriage too is very Andalusian I think she’s the wrong horse for Tara. More groundwork in the school, walking poles, then trotting poles, not a canter to a jump, a fitter rider with lighter hands. It’s a very old fashioned way of teaching, make it do what you want. The weather has been wet and windy, and also the last couple of weeks very hot.
I love your voice too for Bella but I can't and dont watch her and won't encourage her channel by viewing ..I hope Bella gets a new competent owner and im happy Farouk doesn't have to suffer her anymore and she stays away from horses once and for all.maybe retire and take up knitting .Thanks as always for you giving the horse a voice ❤
I appreciate the kind words and support! I totally understand how difficult it can be to watch Tara's videos. I wish the same for sweet Bella ❤️
When they have ground poles down, Bella can’t trot over them without tripping and spooking because they aren’t spaced far enough a part..I tried commenting but they get deleted. Trot poles should be at least 4 large strides apart depending on the height of the horse. Tara said “Auntie Anne” knows what she’s doing. Uhhh, no she doesn’t. 😢
9:30 horses have no problem seeing out of a mask. lol they can see fine 😊 I promise you.
Thanks for the input! 🐴
This is so awful! This rider isn't too big for this mare but she doesn't have the leg or core strength to ride any horse. She relies on her hands for balance and as a dressage rider it makes me want to throw up. If you don't understand the concept of leg and seat into hands then you shouldn't ride. She's a gorgeous horse with huge potential and she's being ruined by this "rider".
I'd say the total hight/weight would not be an issue in a more competent rider who has the muscle tone/strength/balance to properly sit and work her, who would bew able to ride her in a correct frame and build the necessary muscles in the horse to carry that weight. None of that this rider is able to provide.
Rider is so unbalanced ,horse is unbalanced and stressed out . First thing that this rider should do is go back to basics with the instructor and LEARN TO RIDE PROPERLY BEFORE ATTEMPTING ANY JUMPING .RIDER IS RIDING WITH HER HANDS ,NOT USING HER SEAT OR LEGS .
how true how true to the below comments ,, bloody brilliant ,, Tara cant ride properly at all on any of her horses , she balances in her hands which in turn jabs the horse in the mouth , bump bump in the saddle , poor bella she has ruined a potentially good horse . I cant watch any more of her videos she just makes me fume 👺👺
Thank you for doing this. I have been following her for a while and watch her from time to time, and realized she deletes comments. She deleted my comment on her last video. Oh well. Her riding is abysmal and her deleting comments means...she knows it and she doesn't care. So it think she deserves to be reviewed on this.
I love that horse so much it’s so pretty and if the rider knew what they were doing than it would be the best horse ever. People need to stick with horses that can handle the people and horses that people can handle.
Ouch this whole video hurt to watch. What gets me is how trainers like the one in the arena with Tara never actually correct the rider, they are too busy telling you how the horse is wrong. Really shows these people have very little knowledge of what they are doing.
I unsubscribed from her channel. She's done far too much, far too soon with Bella, she's only FIVE years old!! She works those poor horses into the ground! And her 'riding' ?.......ugh shocking!! 😢
Well in fairness we don’t know how much she’s doing, as you only see shirt videos
On her most recent endurance video with Bella, she wasn’t even done and mentioned that she had been out over three hours, so far.
I never in my life rode my horses for three hours, or even two hours straight.
Plus, she’s always going the wrong way, like she did in this video, which added more miles to her ride, poor Bella!!!
@@LaurieLambChops-yn6zy Totally agree, it’s far too long for Bella. Her new jumping lesson is on her channel today another disaster, poor Bella. The instructor I’m sure at one point says she rode her well! Unbelievable
Bit late, but I agree with all your commentary! I try not to look at Tara videos any more as I found them too upsetting & frustrating. But curiosity got the better of me & I watched part of a very recent one where she ‘names and shames’ a number of commenters who’ve made (IMO) good observations & suggestions about Bella and her ‘training’. She went to the trouble of typing out these comments and putting them on screen with the YT usernames prominently displayed. One commenter was outraged at being publicly highlighted like this - there was nothing wrong at all with the comment, and her complaint still got a telling off from a Tara disciple. I would enjoy seeing some support (👍🏻) for the poor commenter - at least until Tara deletes the comment!! Thanks for your continued publicising of Tara. Bella is an unlucky horse indeed 😤
I've just left a comment ...will see how long it stays!!
I saw them yesterday, what an absolute nerve that woman has. She won’t allow them on a regular basis for all to see but when it suits her she’ll try to name and shame. Her latest jumping videos leave so much to be desired. She needs to take accountability for the way Bella behaves, it’s all her fault.
czcams.com/video/Keu9DlYyUXE/video.htmlsi=mAXJyWE22cmJE8PP Have a look at this video of Bella in the field. She does the weirdest movement at about 4.31. I’m not saying horses don’t do this but I’ve never seen one do it. I’m wondering if it’s pain related maybe?
Thank you for the suggestion, I'll take a look!! 🐴😄
I've just had a look and I think she's just stretching. One of our horses did it sometimes when he was in the field. We had him checked out and he was perfectly sound. You're right that it really does look quite odd and she may be trying to release tension in her back.
@@Sue-D1101 perfectly normal full stretch, my thoroughbred loves to do this, not pain related at all.
@@lizroberts1569 oh that’s good, it wasn’t so much the stretching it was the crossing of her legs, just never seen a horse do that.
@@elizabethireland3192 It was the crossing of the legs I found a bit strange as I’ve not seen it before. Maybe Tara has had her checked out, I think like you I would have done.
Ps i have this dream of riding bella no bridle, and see how unruly NOT she is, leave you in peace xx
I’m new to this channel and I just took a look at Tara’s channel and read some comments. She’s extremely defensive and doesn’t like anyone interfering with her and her horses. Here’s my suggestion, if you don’t people to give you constructive feedback that you can’t handle, then stay off the internet. Tara only wants rainbows and unicorns!!
What kind of trainer is this. The first she should teach the rider to balance herself.
Not a very good one.
I blame the trainer. My instructor. Asked me just once. If you had a steel bit in your mouth. Do you want an idiot yanking on it. She also told me. If I font feel comfortable in the saddle. And out of balance. What do you think the horse is putting up with. You have to be one. Your body and his.
I sm so sick of this woman she doesn't know anything..portraying she is an expert...she doesn't know how to ride let alone have any balance....that horse Bella has taken so much abuse from her....the poor horse has flipped over backwards before..and of course she blames all the problems on Bella..can't stand this person...
This rider is not ready to jump her horse! She needs a lot of training on the basics. This video is difficult to watch. This poor horse.
Such a shame, without much thought on the detrimental criticism of another person, name calling & using their own videos against them, you seem to be claiming being a expert in training horses that you feel you can make these comments.
Just watched the olymics and there you do see cruelty to horses and yet riders awarded with medals....!
Even IF Tara were all that you claim, it is still bad taste to ridicule and name call.
Peace & Love to ALL ❤XO
You put yourself out there for all to see then you have to accept criticism, please bare in mind a lot of the people commenting have tried to offer advice and help to this lady, only to be banned from her channel, unfortunately we aren't all going to say how marvellous she is and what a great rider she is when that is obviously not the case, if she doesn't want any helpful critique then stay off the Internet, most people's concerns are about the horse not her feelings!
K9Tay's critique of this rider absolutely does serve a greater good - the wellbeing of the horse, which unfortunately cannot speak up on its own behalf.
You speak about not spreading negativity, my dear, but have you ever thought about how much negativity Tara's incorrect and unsafe riding bring into the life of her poor horses?
The whole "Tara" operation is a money making thing...Tara has no empathy for the horse and is posting on an open social media channel so obviously people will comment ..there are welfare issues. Interestingly she has no regard for others' privacy and continues to post videos of other people without their permission.
People have tried time and time again to help Tara, not a tear down as you say. Her poor horses are suffering in her hands, she needs to go back to basics and accept her ways of riding are outdated and we have now learned over the years kinder ways of riding. Unfortunately Tara will not listen to strangers as she calls anyone who dares question her. She is the most arrogant individual who tries to come across as this sickly sweet person, but just look at answers she gives if you don’t agree with her. I really think it’s time she gave up riding and took up something less detrimental to animals.
Tara should take up scrapbooking instead of horses. Much more safe for everyone and her horses.
