Gonna say it, So fucking jealous!” The whole thing! I apparently don’t have the ovaries to cast my fate to the wind and find a way to long ride. My boy is 30 and arthritic and I don’t feel like I can afford another horse but each day I slide further down the hill. Regret for me but happy for you. Cheers!

lucky, lucky people 😄😄 & horses also, of course 😄😄

Great video guys 👌

Random question from an English idiot. How do you become a long rider? I currently work in horse racing but dream of doing endurance.

Jestem z Polski🇵🇱 okolice Rawicza Jesli będziecie w pobliżu zapraszam chętnie pomogę Wam i waszym koniom

💪💪👍🇵🇱

Glorious! You take me to places I never knew about, which is wonderful. Keep well, 4 legs and 2, and be safe 😊

Welcome back! Nice to see you on the road 😊 Looking forward to your travels with Louisa, Marengo and Banditi. I follow Clever Cowgirl (Montana based), who picks up horses no one else wants. She has a saddle obsession so I said to her about you. She's got an 18 yr old Arabian she picked up for $600 from a dude ranch and is rehabbing. Funny enough, she was talking about endurance riding......

🇵🇱💪👍

Have save travels, guys! Your saddle system looks awesome, how everything is placed on Banditi and Marengo 👍🏼

I discovered your videos a while ago, and i find them very inspiring. Keep on rocking guys. I am planning on somehow following your example.

Next year close to summer i buy my 1st (of 2 )horse, after only riding for 3 years. The year that follows, i come to buy a saddle with my horse(s probably). And the year that follows that, i start my neverending ride around the world. Traveling in the warmer months, and working on farms or whatever in the colder months. It's videos like this and your instagram (and other of course) that give extra energy to KEEP WORKING on this dream, day in day out! Thanks, c u soon!

How much kg does that horse carry mostly with you and your gear?

Especially like the weak fence post idea due to predators, smart thinking

The problem now with fat people is if you address anything in regards to their weight, you get shut down for fat shaming. Now the real question is: why is this coming out now? The Dujardin video is 4 years old. Also the woman is a complete psychopath. This isn't me saying it, it's every single person from her circle who left it. Even as a child, she used to relish in the torture and death of hunted Foxes, and creeped out the other children. Do you really want to promote compassion and understanding for people who cannot change?

I’m not familiar with how long riding works. The way you’re using technology to measure heart rate and heat for the best outcomes is pretty cool.

The judges reward extravagant movements trained by abusive methods and classical principles. Whistle blowers are ignored and will also not be able to work in the industry ever again!!

Totally agree with you in what you say about how horses are one of the most abused animals. Striving to do better and learn is ❤.

Watch for Charlotte Dujardin to claim "she's the victim" for being exposed as abuser of horses. Watch for her to attack the whistle blower & claim the whistle blower is worse abuser. Charlotte Dujardin should be permanently banned from horse sports.

Thank You, for making this video, I think Charlotte was thrown under the bus, why who knows. You can’t tell me only Charlotte does this, I’m talking Grand Prix not the everyday trainer with the everyday horse. But it probably happens in all stables, with trainers in all the levels that might use unkind methods to get quicker results. Why has everyone just complaining on one. It’s like saying that this is the only person who has done anything like this. How about complaining about almost every person who has ridden thus far in this Olympics, we’ve got blood, blue tongue, hyperflexion (behind the vertical), bad fitting tack, to name a few These are the best of the best and they can’t be bothered to correctly saddle these horses, I guess they have people to saddle these horses, even still, you’d think they’d see that something wasn’t correct. People say that Charlotte should be banned from owning and being around horses because of the whip, racehorses are whipped, naming just one sport. People say that Dressage should be banned sport because horses in the wild don’t do that. Horses in the wild, don’t have humans telling them what to do, or wear leather contraptions, they don’t jump brightly coloured objects, or race each other until exhaustion, or cut cattle out of a herd. I have seen posts that the owner was the one recording, I don’t know if this true, if it is, and they also were laughing, because people have stated that the one with the camera was laughing. If I didn’t like the training methods, I wouldn’t be just standing there, laughing. I’d be telling them to stop, and if they didn’t, telling the rider to get off and take my horse home or to another stable, hoping that they might be not abusive, then doing something about it. But the one with the recording did nothing for 2 to 4 years, depending upon person. Why did it take all this time, some say, it’s because it would have been ignored, haven’t they heard of PETA? Abuse happens in all sports, with animals and without. No animal or person should be abused but not just one person should be held accountable for all abuse, if you see a crime you should report immediately, not hold this information for years, because then you also are as guilty for covering it up.

Awesome gear!

Thank you for this. We are all human and all we can ask of each other is to try and better ourselves. I am 60 years old and if I had to tell you the things I have done which were accepted at that time I would be too ashamed. They say over 200 000 horses were taken to WW2 from Australia. Only one returned and that was because it was a general's horse. However what I have learnt the last 2 week is that there are many children out there who have most likely never been near a horse who have a lot to say. Seems like these children were born perfect..and here I thought only God was perfect.

The whipp incident was not beautiful but the horse did not probably feel it , it is the things you say that are right, all those poor animals in our world abused by us people for no reason.. Be kind to you companions who lost their freedom to us .

You're turning into some drunk keyboard warrior you're obviously pissed your saddle sales are doing terrible I hope you find peace and quit drinking

The Amish people have been whipping and working their draft horses to exhaustion forever. When the horses are sick, old and with broken bones they abandon them in the field somewhere to die if not rescued. 😢

Did you also see a child in the opening "ceremonies"? Does that abuse not anger you as well?? Turning parents into groomers is not ok either! Where is the outrage for that!

Olympics 2024- -abuse of Christians -abuse of horses

The best way to learn is to make a mistake, I teach people everyday how to ask their horse to do something not demand that their horse do something. Not everybody is cut out to be a trainer. Some of us are better at riding. Where knowledge ends frustration begins.

Well Said !

Thanks for you input.

do You know maybe: how many off/on changes can octos withstand ? if change will be process 1 per every month ? will withstand 1 year or so ?

I bet the vast amount of horses get a bad deal.

I have seen top dressage instructors achieve the desired results WITHOUT blatsnt abuse. Natural Horsemanship specifically Parelli offers mechanisms to encourage horses to passage and piaffe WITHOUT being abusive. There is no excuse for what this woman did and what others do at the top level. There are too many non invasive and non abusive training methods available and today which leave no excuse for the use of abusive training methods. Top level equestrian sport has become too much. Heard the other day they are now cloning top dressage horses. Ridiculous where is it going to end up.

Good for you! Well said.

Thanks for posting this video. It’s incredibly accurate and I wholly agree. About a year ago I put on substantial weight and immediately stopped riding my horse to prevent discomfort to my horse. I employed a rider to keep him in work and to keep his brain active. It’s all very well everyone jumping on the bandwagon now to criticise Charlotte Dujardin but most of these critics are no better for the reasons you have correctly outlined.

There is NO EXCUSE for any animal abuse. There is something wrong with people who abuse animals. I have zero sympathy for the perpetrators.

Omg 😮

Thank you for making this video. I don’t know a single person worthy of casting a stone at Charlotte ESPECIALLY while rodeos, horse racing, or anything related to Tennessee walking horses still exists in its current form. I agree and constantly complain about the same abuses you’ve mentioned in this video and so many more and far worse than what she demonstrated. I’m certainly not excusing it but it is very clear that she is trying to get the horse to just move forward and the horse is not at all scared or bothered to respond which in my opinion is indicative of very poor previous training and much worse “abuse” which is common in just about every barn I’ve ever encountered. Anyway, thank you for speaking up and having a refreshingly reasonable response to Charlotte’s crucifixion.

Well said mate. x

BAN ALL COMPETING AND STOP THESE SHITSHOW

Plus this woman has a history of abusive practices..

Most horse ppl i know and see, dont even consider ground work and something as simple as not holding a lead rope up at the chin......thank goodness for ppl on the internet bringing light to alternative ....i should say best practices....such as Steve Young and Free Spirit Equestrian...... Regardless of someone's skill, performing abusive techniques does not give them a pass. Suffice to say, wherever humans and money are involved there will be problems....

So well said!! If you have been following the comments on the disgraced games regarding Charlotte, my comments will come up all over. I'm sick and tired of all the hypocrites crying for blood. They are at the least guilty of riding a horse and probably overweight! I totally agree with you on the fact that fat people should not do endurance. Arabs are not tall and stocky. Mostly around 14.2 hh. And Carl has proven himself to be no man worth his salt at all! I can't believe he didn't stick up for Charlotte. He knew her better than anyone of those 10!

There’s a big difference between doing better-when you know better and physical abuse of a horse. And you’re basically saying, since other people abuse horses it’s okay that an Olympic level competitor did it. Most people actually do everything they CAN to NOT abuse their horses. For you to say since everyone does things that are wrong- you are not allowed to call out abuse of horses. The only one virtue signaling is you sir. What you’re saying is: we shouldn’t judge someone for committing a murder/crimes because LOTS of people commit murder/crimes…so we shouldn’t judge especially because maybe a person stole a pen from work or unknowingly committed a crime so people shouldn’t call out people who are career criminals. Theres a BIG DIFFERENCE between a horse kicking another horse- which is understood by the horse and RARE and a person whipping a horse into compliance. There’s a BIG DIFFERENCE between not knowing the best food for your horse or using a farrier who’s sub par and whipping a horse that someone is paying you money to train PROPERLY.

I find value in pretty much any style although the only time I’ve ridden distance was when I was in Namibia, but I really enjoyed it. Is there a specific reason why you don’t use a helmet?

Yupp. This guy. Still, I'm a dog person, and I am sure dogs are the worst abused pets we have. But, eff that, let's do better!

One time is bad judgement and stopping is growth and doing in front of the rider and the person watching and filming tells me she thinks it’s ok. Anyone who’s had a horse fails but you don’t do it like you’re a hero, you apologise and change. But you make a lot of good points and you recognise the wrong and changed.

Amateurs are oblivious to their tack and obesity abuse.

💯

There are so many ways to abuse a horse and I agree that all of us have done things we are not proud of. But while I am not a fan of the "cancel" culture and would promote empathy towards all living things, people tend to think that physical harm is the only form of abuse. This is most certainly not the case. We are a horse rescue who takes in horses that have terribly emotional issues brought on by people who perhaps thought they were doing the right thing but we're not thinking of the horse at all. Even in so so called natural horsemanship the abuse is terrible. Let's hope that this incident creates awareness for all forms of abuse and not just physical pain.
