- Short vidoe of my 3 year old daughter Sianna riding Cessna a 6 year old Thoroughbred / Draft Cross mare. She is 16.3 hands. Cessna is my husband's horse, but this summer Sianna's horse came up lame (not Lady) and we had to improvise...Sianna does awesome with Cessna and even though we have Lady back Sianna has continued to ride Cessna. They are now riding in the big arena with out any assistance at all. To all that have commented about the helmet. Sianna is required to wear a helmet every time she rides. She was riding Lady right before we did this video and I missed it that she took the helmet off. It was super hot and she must have set the helmet by the gate. Please keep the comments on this video professional and no bad language. Thank you.
3 year old little doll can teach others about “soft hands” when it come to the reins. NOT once did she jerk the bit in the horses mouth. Bravo young one ! 👍👏👏
She did when lunging
@@doriennaraine3004 that was a headcollar, not attached to the bit
I started riding horses when I was three
i dont want to ok cuz ill get made fun of
you probably dont give a shit but if you are bored like me atm then you can stream pretty much all the latest series on InstaFlixxer. Been binge watching with my brother these days xD
That's an incredibly good horse.
yes, that gorgeous horse knew exactly what he was supposed to be doing. precious! they can be so protective.
The horse is like “I SHALL PROTEC CHILD”😂😍
Ikr so sweet I love horses so much!!!!!!!!
My horse is like MUST EAT AND STEP ON CHILDS FOOT
Omg she looks like the girl from ost wing
Wind
My almost 3 year old loves kids too xD Well, you can't ride him yet but he always puts his head down so small kids are able to pet him. It's so cute
Very, very well trained horse., a real beaut both horses well cared for. Little girl excellent, what fun she's having. Beautiful combination quite happily to see...👏👌👍🖒
The talented little girl has balance. Yes the horse is well trained but so is the child. Great riding!
The horse is gentle and amazing - The child has a good seat - She is riding on balance which is the best way to learn - The woman is annoying as hell
Let's not be rude please-
Hey! Give that woman some respect. Her three year old child is capable of riding a horse respectfully. That’s more than most adults can manage. If you like the kid give some credit to the mom. She obviously has worked very hard to raise a really good kid.
@@AK-jt7kh Exactly!
Carol Invine, you know she can read the comments and she what everyone say, but Carol invine,your right
How is she annoying?
This is from the description of the video since most have missed it.
“Sianna is required to wear a helmet every time she rides. She was riding Lady right before we did this video and I missed it that she took the helmet off. It was super hot and she must have set the helmet by the gate. Please keep the comments on this video professional and no bad language. Thank you.”
How does some not notice she isn't wearing a helmet? Are they blind? Someone lifted are tiny body onto the horse without one.
No shame, it's their choice, but the excuse of
"not noticing" is super lame🙄
Regardless she's a very skilled rider, and her horse is very gentle. This was pretty awesome to watch, even without a helmet. Lots of trust.
@@MihaDuV its surprising how much you don't notice when you are having fun, I have missed that some people riding my horse went on without a helmet, its a mistake everyone makes eventually
@@EliannaCH people can make their own choices... but when you're taking care of small children, being responsible about safety can't be "forgotten". Would you let your toddler climb all over the back of the car while traveling highway speed? Forget to buckle them into their car seat because they're having too much "fun"? Would you not bother to safety check your parachute before sky diving because your too busy enjoying the moment? There's a point where it becomes reckles endangerment. Choose your own risks... but don't put small children in danger.
@@MihaDuV first of all I would never sky dive lol. But I know it was stupid of me to forget my friend wasn't wearing a helmet, because that is a rule when you are riding on my horse, especially on my property.
I wouldn't let a kid climb up on the top of a car while driving, because that would be STUPID if I did😂
And I DO make sure my younger brother is wearing a helmet when he rides, but my friend was old enough to chose to be stupid and not wear a helmet.
But I'm trying to make sure that I don't forget to wear a helmet, and I have never let my younger brothers on a horse without a helmet, after falling and being trampled the helmets what kept me safe😄
Yes it was dumb, and I hope that the other people felt stupid enough that they would never forget to have there kid wear a helmet
She's an amazing child! I noticed the horse is extremely gentle with her. They loves her!
There was a time when helmets were not even an item anyone thought
to use. My children all rode without helmets..... they survived well and
one is an instructor now with many of her own mounts. The helmets are now used and can prevent serious harm....... This video is very
precious as are the 'subjects' especially your 3 year old ! Great job, mom! BTW --- that's not a 'thorough / draft cross' = it's a four legged 'baby-sitter' ! =D
carol martin When I was a child in the 1960s we wore helmets but it was considered soft to put the elastic under your chin. So one day my hat flew off when the pony shied sideways, I fell off, banged my head and ended up in hospital with concussion!
When my mom was little in the 80s she never wore a helmet and her and her friend would ride double on her poa I saw a pic and it was so cute
Read the bottom half of the description. It will tell you why she isn’t wearing a helmet. No hate! Just saying
I would never ride without a helmet. It saved my life.
She's one of lucky ones no matter how you play it horse riding dangerous I'm 48yrs old now and have known many who have died. The first when I was seven yrs old watching my cousin on school holidays having a race back to tack shed they went under the trees my cousin ducked but her friend didn't and took the tree across the face. They were 15yrsold she died in ambulance on way to hospital. Never let your guard down around safety teach your children well and y
God that horse is an angel! I love how he really looked after his rider and she did so good on him. Great parenting I love that you advise her and let her figure it out herself rather than put her on a tiny pony with a helmet and a pink crop.
I love when parents expose their kids to such awesome things. As much as I would love to see her in a helmet, she looks adorable with her hair flopping all over. That horse wouldn't let her fall! Kudos!
Love this little girl's horsemanship. Outstanding!❤️
This is really awesome and I'm super proud of that little girl, but what it really boils down to, is that the mare is an EXCELLENT horse.. Thumbs up to both of them
Some horses are born to love kids. When a horse is properly trained to follow instructions, it doesn't matter how big (or small) the horseman is as long as the horse knows who's the boss.
Remember horses run away from fear. This horse is receiving clear directions in a familiar routine. It's confident of no abuse and has no need to defend itself. Good job, mom. Nice horse.
Mom is the one that needed the helmet. "thank you Marley" LOL
🤣
She looks so balanced, like she knows what she's doing and it's adorable 😂
Adorable but incredibly dangerous
that's a well behaved horse
Dang. She rides better than me when I HAVE stirrups 😂
When I was little it was easier to ride without a saddle so I think it’s just the weight distribution
I know right.........TwT
Same
Yeah same
Ikr same with me 💀😭
Normal 3 years olds: get leaded around on a Shetland. This girl: nah I got this 😂😂😂
The way Sianna is riding is by visualizing, the way animals and baby's communicate to eachother. Cessna is very gentle with her and knows exactly what Sianna wants from her. Very beautiful vid.
Dang! When she started lunging I was shocked! Amazing little girl and horse!
Wishy Washy that is not how you ping a horse that poor horse is scared to bits that why he was moving when she was lunging
@@macybarrett5265 you clearly are not an equestrian
@@macybarrett5265 Scared to death and yet somehow, a tiny little girl manages to keep him from bolting! Yep, that horse sure was terrified. Lol
Fabulous in every way, except she should have a helmet on - that’s just basic common sense.
Fuck a helmet and mind your business
Karla Brewster would you be saying that if she fell off and hit her head? That could give her brain damage.
@@alishapaxton2603 You are absolutely right. A helmet is very important.
Read the description moron's she explains it their
Karla Brewster if she fell on her head you would be thinking something very different
THAT mare is worth her weight in GOLD!!! What a kind and charitable horse!!!
What a sweet little girl
"Can you say hi to the camera?"
"Hii"
She did a really good job on that nice little horsey
Everyone is commenting on how this is bad parenting. This is EXCELLENT parenting. This mom is teaching her little girl to have the unconditional love for horses. I would rather watch this beautiful little girl ride a horse with no helmet any day. Than see her end up on the street or in a strip club or doing drugs. Good job Mom!
Ya, this girl is obviously very good at what she does.
Very true. I find the video adorable.
She has a beautiful bond with the horse it's amazing that a 3 year old can do this!!!
I heard the mom ask for a 'lo' which in western terms means canter. In western riding they don't particularly wear a helmet anyway, in my eyes, there is nothing wrong with that and I completely agree there!
but shes not teaching her to have a helmet or a body protecter on a horse that big? it may not even be that big for horses but to a 3 ear old! if she falls of, not being gross but thats 2 brocken ribs and if she falls on her head a cracked skull and you know the rest, not trying to offend anyone buts that the truth without helmet or body protecter on a horse that size compared to body size, children her age are not as strong!
OMG did that palomino just wack the camera😂😂😂😂😂
Lol
Ya, lol
Yeah, he was saying, "Don't braid my tail."

Your daughter brings back so many memories. She and her horse are great.
Adorable!!! Reminds me of how fearless and confident I was around horses when I was that young.
Awww sutch a well trained horse😍
She is amazing and parenting comments just show how ignorant people can be. Take care of your own kids playing in the streets and causing trouble. Horse people are a different breed and don't care what hypocrites say. My 2 yr old and 4 yr old both ride. Great job Sianna and Cessna.
Wow amazing both the little girl and the horse. She's going to be something when she gets older. The horse generally loves her and is not spooked or intimidated. Love this video
That's really nice to see that she and the horse are well trained at this, especially for the girl being so young and little. The horse knows to be gentle.
yet I can't even get my horse to move... anyone can relate to that one lazy horse...
Yep
Maddie Emslie Yep everyday it sucks.
Maddie Emslie lucky...my horse won't stop moving
Jenny StarStone work them more, normally does the trick.
Maddie Emslie yea tried that and it did help a bit. She's just a typical of the track thoroughbred XD
Love this kid reminds me of myself when I was little I had a little red pony and she was amazing I love to see people teaching kids stuff like this instead of having their face in a phone God bless the parents of this child
I like to say that I've been AROUND horses since I was two but this little girl just completely sets the bar! Such a great rider!
That is just way too cute, Sianna! You have a new fan! You remind me of me- only at that age, I couldn't get the adults to hand me the reins..which insulted me. So, I would sneak ride the horses. I was a pro before they considered me a beginner. I made makeshift bridles out of baling twine, and the horses would get next to the fence and let me climb on. They seemed to have as much fun as I did. Most of my sneak riding was not in a corral, it was in a wooded acreage with streams, irrigation ditches, fallen trees (my favorite mounting sites) and open pasture. These are the best memories of my life, and also my two horses Geraldine, a jet black TB mare, and Bobbito a very colorful Appy gelding. They were my dream horses. They are gone now, but lived to be very old. Geraldine was 33 and Bobbito was 31. I had them all their life. Their parents were some of the horses I was sneak riding in that pasture!
Great vid but agree she should have a helmet especially this young..young.heads are soft and can damage easily...a precaution...happy riding.
Read desc
To all those who keep saying ( some rudely) "read the description!": so the wee girl removed her helmet due to heat discomfort, yes. Then during the next 15 - 20 minutes of riding, an accident could still have occured, with possible serious injury. (I know something about concussions). We take a chance every time we mount a horse, but common sense should prevail, especially with a young child!
To people who yell about that girl who rides without a helmet on and are scared that horse might hurt her. That horse was trained to deal with children like her and she herself has most probably been riding all her life. I grew up riding horses myself and I am proud to purchase a horse that I can ride with no helmet on and feel safe. For some of us who ride we love to feel the wind in our hair. So everyone who is worried or freaking out just leave the poor mother and kid alone as they know what their doing. I applaud this girl and would love to meet her and ride with her oh horseback as she is showing that people think you need all these things trying to make it "safe". IT WILL NEVER R BE SAFE UNLESS YOU TRUST YOUR HORSE AND BELIEVE!
Ink sings ok I understand where your coming from but she does not need to be on a 16.3 mare, just because the horse is "trained" to handle small children does not mean it could spook while she's on her back and the mare could crush her. She needs to be put on a Shetland or highland pony, any pony or horse that is not stupidly tall.
Ink Sings: We never wore a helmet. My Dad & grandfather never put us up on a bad horse. We were well trained like this little girl & her mother was right there with her. We learned well on good horses.
Good horse sense and good human sense. Your lass is very talented, and the horse is a good teacher and very gentle. Thank you for sharing.
What an awesome little rider and beautiful horse. She had total control. 😀
Cute kid , smart too ! The horse is being careful with her. That's a keeper right there !
True horse girl right there
That horse is worth a billion dollars, I don't care how many buckles saddles and world championships a horse that will take care of babies is priceless. I am sure we will be seeing this little one at the finales. anyone want to bet??? Good Job MOM, Sincerely Mary K. Hennessey
That is the most adorable thing I've seen. Every kid should get to start at this age!
Impressive! She has a better seat than a lot of other riding students at a similar or later age and I guess one time with no helmet wouldn't kill her ;)
It only takes one time!
Sabrina L. Williams So True! I totally agree with you. I know a girl who never wanted to wear a helmet when she were riding her horse. We all said to her that it would be a very good idea to wear a helmet... But she would not listen. She said that she trusted her horse and that a helmet would make her look ugly and stupid.
Long story short: One day when she was riding her horse, the horse got scared of something. She got thrown of her horse and she landed head first. As always she didn't have a helmet on... She ended up in the hospital (in a coma) for a very very long time fighting for her life. Today she is disabled and has difficulties with walking, talking, memory etc.
Sorry for my looong answer 🙂 Just felt like I had to share her story.
Well, we could hope. Awesome little rider, super nice horse, but I don't see how any Mother could not notice she's not wearing a helmet. Jus' sayin'
You have given your kids such a great start!!!
Sweet, gentle horse, so adorable!
What a fantastic horse and a talented little girl!!
She looks great, but needs a helmet. They are a great pair though. :-)
She dosent need a helmet !!
yes she does, she is 3!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! one little spoke from that horse( ALL horses spook no matter what you teach them) he/she could kill her. in an instant. (for example if a bear was staring that horse in the face the horse isn't going to be loyal and just stand there)
... I agree Anna Roemmich ... some people are just careless with their children's safety ... when Mike Wazowski, and others loose a child from failure to wear a helmet , as I did, the heart break will change their minds ... too late ..
Ok fine you believe what you want to believe and I believe what I want to believe !
I do to what If the horse kicked her off and so on
Re: helmet - I understand she “must have” taken her helmet off earlier but as soon as the filming started did no one have the good sense to stop filming, put her helmet on her and then resume filming! That appears to have been a pretty lame excuse for “no helmet”. If you don’t want comments don’t publish your videos on Facebook.
Sometimes you see things but it doesn’t fully register to you that something is missing. I’ve definitely forgotten a helmet until I’m getting on or reminded
@@hayleymarse2853 that's like driving a a vehicle down i highway when with your child not buckeld into their car seat, pretty hard "not to notice", if it's truly important. This child is the central focus of this video... all eyes on her, as if nobody didn't notice.
This is CZcams ...
I rode two stallions, Arabian and Friesian, my dad put me on the horse's back from when I was born! However he stopped holding me when I turned 2, and I started riding by myself on a lead when I was 4, and without a lead 6, I started doing tricks when I was 9... And now I moved to England and I'll never see my horses again unless I go visit them. What a shame, I really loved them.
Incredible! The horse knows she's a baby and responds accordingly. They are super smart
This is absolutely precious, but please have her wear a helmet :)
+LE123LE123 I just saw that she's wearing a helmet in later videos! Whew! I would highly recommend helmets for riders in all disciplines--while this horse looks ideal/calm/quiet, horses still have that .001% chance of unpredictability for the best/quietest of horses. Ignore the crude comments on your adorable daughter and her riding abilities. People just troll youtube.
+LE123LE123 Eyyyy I know that helmet thing all too well ^^;
The one time I didn't wear a helmet, (the horse didn't spook i got pulled off by someone infront of me) I fell >.< I will always wear a helmet now..
She should definitely wear protection.
It is a little more safe
But it is sadly enough not gonna make someone invincible.
If the horse would turn during lounging and kick her she'd be very badly hurt or even killed. :(
The helmet isn't gonna protect her if she gets kicked or reared on
Body protection could be better but still you're not 100% safe though.
That's like someone saying
I have a airbag in my car l can never get hurt
If you drive with 100 miles a hour into a wall you're not gonna survive :( that airbag ain't gonna protect you :(
But l definitely would say give her protection so atleast she's a little more safe.
She's such a precious sweet little girl!
Darkhorse3211 Read desc she is required to wear at helmet but it was kept at the gate if needed☺
Helps to have such a well-trained horse....but the child is awesome. Yes, PLEASE put a helmet on her next time!!!
windswept43 Professional jockeys have broken their necks while wearing helmets and protective vests.
Tess d'Urberville is this girl going 30mph on a 3 year old thoroughbred? No she isn’t and since she is so young she should definitely have a helmet on to try prevent any damage if she were to fall.
@@alishapaxton2603 Apparently, you did not understand what I said.
windswept43 Read the description please
@@profkara A responsible adult will immediately notice a missing helmet and remedy the situation on the spot. No excuses.
I would be so proud of this little girl she is a natural I was riding on my own when I was 5 but I wasn't as confident as this young lady, she is really going to do something with her life when shes older. Good luck to her and the caring parents . xxxxx
I've been riding since I was 15 and I am 60 now...my girls go out riding and they are always on a horse or pony that's right for them. Always make them wear a helmet. Everything else you don't have control over that but if you can keep them as safe as you can do it. These are your babies keep them safe!😙
shes really good but i think the horse is verry Kind and easy to ride
Well you wouldn't want a three year old to ride a horse that is green and spooky, so yes obviously the horse is calm and used to people riding it.
the amount of hate on this is horrible. This is the mothers choice on whether she rides in a helmet or not. not yours.
No we’re not hating we’re trying to keep her safe. Doesn’t matter how good the horse is or the rider you should never ever ride without a helmet it is too dangerous
They are really talented both the girl and the horse! Look how calm and well trained the horse is and how good balance the little girl has!!
She's better than most adults I've seen ride...she doesn't even hang on the reins, and knows exact timing for release of pressure. Smart girl.
This horse is why I want a draft cross 😍 they’re so willing to please and so gentle
How did you start her training with the horse? I am expecting and I would love to start her with my mare when she comes
A lovely, obedient and kind animal. A treasure.
A horse you can be sure of.
To all haters: I agree, helmets are good. But this child is learning valuable things, such as how to use her muscles, to trust animals, even if they are bigger than her, and how to forge bonds of friendship. Plus, this is a good stimulator for a child that young. On another note, read the horse's body language. She's saying "I will do as I am asked, and I will make sure my rider stays on my back because I care about her and that's what I'm trained to do. Parenting win!!
Gamer Southern99 Helmets are good, but they are a mixed blessing. I learned to ride, western style, in 1960 at the age of ten. Helmets weren't a big thing back then, obviously, except in high risk riding like jumping, racing, etc. I fell off so many times I stopped counting, and I never once hit my head. I had learned to tuck one shoulder under and roll. A helmet will make you slightly less flexible and changes your center of balance, which may turn a head injury into a spine injury. Riding helmets don't affect your hearing and peripheral vision as badly as a motorcycle helmet but . . .
I think a helmet should be a personal decision based on the terrain and the style of riding,
That's fine, it's your choice, but I have always been taught to wear a helmet.
You MUST ensure she has her helmet on at all times. Saying you missed it, doesn't cut it.
YOU must...
“Karen”, is it? I’m not even going to go there.
Anyways, I think you might be on the wrong comment thread. Your self-righteous virtue signalling isn’t a good fit for this community. These are horse people. Try donkeys instead. You might fit in there.
She's going to be amazing someday!!!❤️ she kinda reminds me of me lol. Just don't forget the helmet!
Ahhhh that child is fearless. She's going somewhere in life, there's for sure. Well done!!!
The horse is golden I love how that little girl can get on him without any worries because the horse cares to keep the girl safe. I trust my horse enough to not wear a helmet but I still do it just to be safe
That is so amazing. She is working so good with this horse, but the child needs a Helmet, no matter if it is hot or not.
I love how she’s rides yet she’s better than me 😂😂 that little girl is awesome 👏🏼 the one thing I don’t really like about it is that the mom is kinda rushing the little kid did everyone notice that or is it just me ??
what a lucky little girl! to have such an amazing horse to ride! i cant believe this horse is only 6 years old.good job mom!!
That horse is taking care of her. Brave little girl and a great rider.
Those of you saying the horse is 'push button' and 'bombproof' well, let's something straight. That's obvious. What kind of mother would put a 2 year old on anything but that? Do you want her to be riding something dangerous or green? Exactly. Don't be getting jealous that a 2 year old has better balance than you. Just stop complaining, and just admire the fact that's she's doing great!
And as for the helmet, read the description. I saw another video with Sianna on Lady, and she WAS wearing a helmet so I'm inclined to believe it. Sometimes little things get forgot, chill. Nobody was hurt.
GottaLoveBreyerHorsies so that’s you opinion and let other people say what they like cuz when you say it on other people’s videos you will probs be humiliated
GottaLoveBreyerHorsies actualy she's 3 dummy
horsesRmylife 1313 That's exactly what they said 😂
That kid and horse are amazing!
Try that in English next time, like cuz you sound like an idiot.
this child is so intelligent! great parenting!
lessiiboo are real no hat = totally stupid
Not really look at her head where is her helmet
Great parenting? The child is not wearing a damn helmet!
If you guys would read the description, it says the girl is required to wear a helmet but she took it off and the mom didn't notice.
still the mom is a bad parent for not noticeing that
I've re-watched this video multiple times, Those two are an amazing pair
That horse is so pretty and cute!!! He/she is protecting the child really well and they know that she is young so it tries it's best to keep her safe. Well done horse that I don't know it's name.
that was probably the most amazing and cutest thing ever
I'm expecting to see her in the Olympics one day!
Very well trained horse. What a saint! Great little rider too 😝
This is absolutely adorable she is controlling this huge horse like it’s nothing 💗
Helmet shmelmet. Growing up I never wore a helmet and half the time I snuck out of the house and slept in the damned barn with my horse. I also rode her around without any saddle or bridle all the time, took afternoon naps on her back, and as I got older played crazy trail games with my friends like running by and pulling the girth loose or bridle off or seeing how fast we could go while switching horses. I got on everything from stubborn mules to draft horses. That's just the life growing up with horses.... We're a little tougher and a little crazier than other people and we like it that way. Keep your parenting opinions to yourselves...
It's not our problem you make stupid choices.
AnimalLover24561 Rude!!
yh same lol i ride my horse all the time from the end of the field to where the gate is he does not need a head colour he is so well trained that u just sat on him and he would walk to the gate with u then u put head colour on and led him to stable sadly that horse has been solded due to lack of time but that was ages ago i now have a cob gelding so buitiful and u can now ride him with out bridal just head colour and lead rope lol in the paddic lol
charhusky35 What is a head collar?
looks like a bad translation for bridle.
That little girl should be wearing her helmet at all times.
She rides western. Most people who ride western don't ride with helmets, wen you learn sometimes in Western you might wear a helmet.
she could still be sepeously hurt i do eventing and i fall off and get my head stepped on almost every week and got a concussion from it.. needs helmate even iff she rides western
Oh for gods sake she's 3 damn years old not wearing a helmet is CHILD ABUSE. Plain and simple.
alyssa foti if you fall off and get your head stepped on nearly every week. You clearly don't know how to ride.
alyssa foti if you fall off every week maybe you shouldnt ride
sweet vid. Very well trained & gentle horse.
Wow such a good horse video such a cute one u got. Alreaddy ready fornext ride I take. To calm my horse I feel calm and relaxed cuz I can listen to my favourite bands like MCR, Escape or new bands like Delta Parole, and others.
Please put a helmet on your baby! SHe's adorable.
The discription says it was very hot and she had just finished riding another horse before and took her helmet off
Amelia Veary
Doesn't matter. Every time a kid gets on a horse, she should have a helmet on. It only takes one fall to end a life or change it forever.
Amelia Veary thats no exuse!
Diana Bravestorm I know that but I'm 14 and iv been riding horses my whole life and never once have I got to a serious injury and the only time I don't wear a helmet is when grooming and swimming with my horse because we can under water and my helmet will get wet
Amelia Veary
Okay, so following your reasoning ... since you've never been in a car accident by age 14, you will always be safe in a car and don't need to wear a seatbelt. Since you've never been kissed by age 14, you will die an old lady never having kissed a man. Since you've never had a paying job by age 14, you will always be unemployed. I think you see where I'm going with this. There's a reason why any barn that wants insurance must insist that all minors wear helmets. It's because actuaries (the experts who study statistics on horseriding accidents - FACTS) can show you that if you don't wear a helmet, you are at significant risk of being badly injured or killed by not wearing a helmet when riding horses. EVERYONE who rides horses eventually falls from a horse. You do not decide when it happens, where it happens, or how you come off or how you land. All you can do is protect yourself for the time that it does happen. And the reason why the law is only for minor kids is because kids have a tendency to believe they are immortal and that nothing can happen to them. They have not yet developed that part of their brain yet that tells them when something is dangerous. Older usually equals wiser, but for the adults who don't wear helmets, the insurance company knows they make that decision with the brain to realize they could die from it. If an adult wants to take a risk, he can. A kid can't make the rational decision to do that, so the insurance companies make it for them (just in case the adults in their lives are too ignorant to make the decision for them). So I'm going to say it again: Lady in this video, please always make sure your adorable girl is wearing a helmet any time she's on a horse, no matter how hot or sweaty she is. A hot and sweaty head is ever so much better than a fractured skull, a concussion, or death.
I noticed some people are saying you don't need to wear a helmet if you trust your horse: I would never ride my main lesson horse without a helmet, even though I'm not allowed to in my English riding lessons. The horse, Flash, is super sweet and unbelievably safe, but one time I almost fell off because he TRIPPED at a canter. He didn't buck, his foot went into a small rut in the outdoor arena. I'm just trying to say that anything can happen even on a horse you trust.
Please before commenting read the description
Amelia Veary Lost a friend (and wonderful horse person) because of a freak accident she had nothing to do with. All riders should have helmets on - young and old alike, hot or not. You do a fantastic job as a mom, giving her this opportunity and teaching your little angel how to handle horses. Protect her first and foremost!! You would forever regret if anything happened to your sweet baby.
Yeah
A helmet DO save lives! Own experience. 'read the description' they say, but it does not matter if its hot or not. If it were too hot, this sweet girl have gone for a ride on anoter day or a bit later.
A Lowe I'm 13 and Iv been riding all my life so I don't have kids
Lovely to see such a young lady knowing how to work with horses, and such a nicely-behaved horse enjoying the company of a child!
Such a good quiet horse and the confidence in that little girl
Aaawww u must be so proud of her well done 😀
Wow great riding ! Only thing I would do as a parent is put a helmet and a chest guard on ! No matter what you are still dealing with a Animal u can never be to careful!!
you can tell that her horse loves and takes care of her! what a great bond!
Madeline Barton Maybe the horse takes care of her but the mom sure doesn't. If she was on a bike instead of a horse on private property, many places would have the mom arrested for the kid not wearing a helmet.
Wow Sianna must-have grown up to be a very capable and experienced rider ,I know she would only be about 10 now but I am sure she has surpassed riders in confidence and experience twice her age . Well done Sianna ☺ your a superstar and an inspiration ☺
despite the whole, lack of helmet thing, I have to say she's a great rider, and Cessna is a fantastic horse!
Mares I know always love Human Foals. They take care of them.
The woman who owns the barn i ride at had a mare named danika, easily the biggest horse there, and an absolute sweetie. When she was pregnant with her first foal we had a sort of baby shower, wjere we brought her out for everyone to feel the bump, and that mare's nose was on all the little kids heads 😂 she loves children
Aww this is so sweet! Thanks for sharing that knowledge with us. I don’t have much exposure to horses but I love them
Beautiful kind rider at such a young age, natural skill, bless the owners handlers, these horses are very honest and accomodating, lovely clip...
Thank goodness for descriptions of videos.
Awwwwe so cute. Haha I would be scared shitless if I was her age on that big of a horse hahaha. Really good balance. Well done 😄😄
Unmöglich so was ich finde es zwar toll das die kleine schon so was kann aber als Mutter da zu stehen und das Kind ohne helm reiten zu lassen ist unmöglich zudem ist meiner Meinung nach das Pferd viel viel zu groß also die hätte auch auf einem Shetty reiten können 😑
meine Pferdewelt lass sie doch.. wenn sie das Pferd schon gut kennt und mit dem klar kommt ist das doch ihre Entscheidung
Marco My Unicorn ja aber das risiko? pferde sind fluchttuere und JA ich reite ich weiss das sie doch eigendlich inmer brav sind und ausreden nach einem unfall wie „das hat er/sie noch nie gemacht“ hört man auch tagtäglich‘n
Wollte wohl mit ihrer unverantwortlichkeit angeben, ich kann es ebenfalls nicht nachvollziehen
Die Mutter ist gleich nebenbei und eine Reiterin hinten an, das roundpen gut abgesichert. Helm, wäre gut aber schützt auch nicht vor allem (pferdetritt in den brustbereich). Finde es schön wie locker flockig sie mit dem Pferd umgeht ohne groß nachzudenken.
Passieren kann immer und überall etwas.
Steffi H wahre worte
Seeing such a tiny child lunge a horse thats like 5x taller than her is hilarious and amazing. Also what a sweet and respectful horse.
the cutest and most amazing thing ever. this girl is gonna be the best rider ever!
