Shit when did he start riding? At age 3? He looks like a mini professional up there.I mean of course he doesn't have the same skill and seat as an adult simply because of his size, but he does incredibly well for being so tiny. There's people that are two or 3 times his age that can't do that well.
It's just amazing how a boy his age, who wouldn't have the proper developed muscle for that kind of riding, CAN even sit there and do that, whether or not the horse did everything.
This little boy's name is Sungjoon. He is 9 years old and he is a Jumper in Korea. he is not riding to show off he is riding because he loves horses and he has passion for horses. He is training hard and working hard to become a better rider. He is competing in shows. This video was taken while we were in a family trip to Germany. I didn't see this video until 6months after it was posted. Please do not write rude and hurtful comments here. Thanks for complementing.
Great horse! The horse is definitely doing all the work, but you've got to give the kid some credit for staying in the saddle and somewhat stable while jumping 4+ ft at his size and age.
The way the horse responds to the smallest of movements suggests it is very sensitive to commands. The horse is also very tender about its movements and how it clears the poles. Perfect for a child really :)
I think that your son is amazing and a wonderful rider. He should be an inspiration to every nine year old, every rider, and every person out there! He's so young, and he's obviously worked very hard to reach his dreams. I can honestly say that at 14 years old, I cannot jump the way he jumps. Please always remind him just how awesome he is.
Honestly, that is just about the confidence of the kid, whether he was scared about jumping that or not, and telling the horse where to go. The horse jumped it himself, with the right distance and jump. Sure, the kid had a great seat, and that is amazing at such a young age, but the horse did most of the work, he just had to have a confident rider. So well done to both the kid and the horse (:
i love this, watching people ride point and go horses... i find it funny that these people think they can ride when in reality it's just "go horsey" and the horse is trained to go and when it spooks or bolts or refuses or develops bad habits or something, it gets sold because "mommy's not happy". seriously. and for you guys commending this kid on his "bravery", don't. he's not doing any of the work.
This little guy can ride and rides beautifully and treats his horse with the utmost respect. Fantastic teacher and horse!!! Just awesome to watch and very much a pleasure!!!
Chill out everyone. It is NOT your decision wether or not this kid can ride this horse. If his parents are okay with it I'm sure he is just fine on that horse. And you know what? Bad things can happen to anyone. Not just this kid. If the trainer is letting the kid ride this horse (which the trainer would know best) I am sure the kid isn't in anymore danger than anyone else riding a horse.
holly cow are you really going to say that little boy has no skill??? I do believe he deserves credit. That is a big animal for a little boy to control and as far as I can see he was the only one riding the horse!!!!!! Yes he is an amazing rider and he's pretty brave to get on a huge horse and control him so well!!!!! The animal is magnificent as well horse and RIDER looked amazing!!!!! Keep up the great young man!!!!
idk if he was really riding.... he just sat there while the horse flew over jumps and then would smack the saddle with his butt..... for gods sake he kicks every stride!
That must be so fun to get to be so fun to get to experience a horse like that that leaves from any where. That kid has pretty much talent too. Go Koreans haha Im Korean and show!!
This kid is just steering the horse around. All horses have bad days, they aren't perfect. When his horse doesn't have a perfect day... It's going to be bad.
What an AWESOME horse and a BRAVE little boy :) And to those of you being so negative? WHY? So what if they are standing there to prevent a run-out. the kid is SEVEN!!! And the fact that he has the bravery to jump these fences is amazing in itself!! Dont be so critical!!!
everyone needs to shut the fuck up! I'm 21 and an instructor and i have been riding since i 9. i can't jump like that! good for this kid! he knew what he was doing and showed that horse he was in control!
i literally want to kick anyone who is saying this wonderful little ball of talent is a little person right in the face. What business is it of yours? and even if he was, SO WHAT. its still INCREDIBLE RIDING! He has an immense talent, and an obvious passion. stop writing out of jealousy and have a compassionate feeling. GOOD GRIEF.
I don't understand why people are bagging on this kid...if you actually ride, you would know that it takes much more than just sitting there to jump at that height let alone canter. I don't care how well schooled a horse is, you have to be well schooled to do what that kid did. For a seven year old, that's pretty damn impressive.
Wow! This a lovely little rider and a super, fabulous horse. To have a horse that can inspire such confidence in such a little chap, and to a little chap who is so at ease is absolutely wonderful.
Thank you so much for kind words! I will let him know he is doing an awesome job and he is following through hard training very well! He just loves horses and he loves riding!
im 11 and ive been riding by myself/barrel racing by myself the same horse for 9 years i dont know english but i do jump bareback and ride it 24 7 if im not at a show and if anyone says im trained wrong or i cant ride right like most ppl have said to this boy i have been trained by a champion and the bareback i taught myself and riding is my passion and life give this boy a brake hes 7 and ive never rode in a english saddle id probly fall off if i evan tried to jump english!!!!
Tolles "video"! Have watched it over and over. Love how the kid uses his body and legs to steer the horse and how quiet his hands are for such an early age. And, he looks for the jump before he is in front of it. He will be a great rider. PRIMA!
That horse knew what he had on his back and was being so gentle over those jumps. The young man riding also has great balance and showed great style! They looked good together. My Clydesdale would love to take this chap for a ride. Usually he will take two little people at a time.
Fabulous riding and lovely, lovely horse. I love the way the young rider gave his horse a pat when he was finished. My horse and I are still working up to this height of jump!
What a wonderful horse! The rider looked very small and seemed to be using a lot of leg to keep the horse moving forward - but the horse seemed to be gently taking the rider over the jumps - great horse, in my opinion! :)
Everything is possible with a good school horse. He clearly knows the track and what he's supposed to do so that the rider doesn't have to worry about the details, but can consentrate on learning the basics
i dont understand why people put negative comments on here. no one knows exactly how good of a rider he is, which to me he looks amazing to be able to jump that high. good riders make it look easy and just because you might not be jumping that high and have been riding longer than hes been alive doesnt mean your better than he is. some just have that natural riding ability. personally i think everyone should be impressed by how well he rides this horse and how much hes accomplished. i am!
Future champion! Excellent seat. Totally in tune with that horse. I guess there are a lot of other riders who will be thinking the same as me; I wish I was that good at that age.
He had more than just a nice seat and confidence. He was clearly turning the horse, and not just pulling on the reins, but the way the horse turned, you can tell the kid set up the turns and turned him nicely. He also was able to ask for the correct leads (get the horse turning) during the jumps. That's a lot more than just a nice seat.
OMG, that is so amazing,,the bond between horse and rider, and the rider is only 7..wow........good job.. I am almost 50 and never could jump that that...so awesome!!
wow thats great that kid must have real talent. He has a great future ahead of him if he countinues jumping like that. And that horse looks like a perfect match for him. So cute
That young man is learning how to ride right! The horse is also very beautiful! It would be great to take him and his horse on a pack trip to the mountains, now that would be fun!
From what we can see its a quiet horse but the kid is doing all the work - he's riding it in a rhythm, he's keeping the jump in the canter & the horse soft, he lands, bends, rebalances...he's a very well educated and keen little rider. If they have "more money than sense" then so does every elite rider the horse industry revolves on people looking up to. Talents one thing but there's no way round the expense entailed in being good enough to ride at the top level.
For all of you who say this boy is doing nothing, he definitely uses his leg to get the horse moving. for example, at the very beginning. And he's also using his outside rein to help keep the horse from falling into the turns. Rock on little boy
He looks like he knows how to ride to me. Balance and position is good for a rider of that age. Correct leg aid when asking for a canter. The horse is definitely well trained, patient and willing. This kid is definitely a prospect for any Olympic Show Jumping team
the little kid is still directing the horse where to go and holding a pretty decent position for such a small kid. i know a lot of kids that even on a horse like that couldnt hold on. kid still has skills. and i know im jealous, jumping better than i can
Can i just point out that i dont think i could ride like this; he has amazing balance and is obviously giving the correct cues; if he was a bad rider i doubt he'd be able to get the horse over those jumps-respect to this boy!! :')
WOOW I have a friend that is 10 years old and she's jumping 1.50 high and 1.40 wide, she's an amazing rider and she have go to international competitions it's pretty amazing, kids like this and my friend are my inspiration...
Nice steady canter,good approach on jumps(big jumps),great take off,fly and landing by horse.Pure confidence giver,well trained.Little rider who as we can see takes what been given and attempting to those big jumps.This is how bond and trust grows up.Im not saying nothing can't happen when child is riding full size horse.But is not always about size...is about character,trust and proper training.
Jumping a horse correctly is more than just pointing a horse toward a fence and hanging on. The kid is making some tight turns, he's rating the fences correctly, and except for one lead swap, is completely in control of his ride. The concentration and discipline needed for this type of jumping is usually beyond a child that young, so kudos to this little wunderkind.
my god that is going to be a power house team! that horse jumps like a feather landing on a pillow! wow and that child has 100% faith and skill! great team!
Thought it was just a small person, but, wow! Very well done! Says something about the level if horsemanship and training at your barn:) Hello from Ottawa. Canada:)🍁
I was just being honest. And my opinion still stands. Not saying you're a bad horse owner, just giving you a tip. You are lucky to have a horse with lots of energy, they are the ones that tend to do it best in dressage and jumping. But having a horse like that also comes with a great responcibility. Because they will never stop running and never give up, many misunderstand it as them "loving it". So it's very important that you don't make them sick of working for you.
The interesting thing about well trained horses (advanced), is they typically don't ride well unless you know which buttons to push. That young man did an amazing job, he never nailed that horse in the mouth once with an unsteady hand upon take off or landing. And no daylight between him and leather over those big fences, well done.

Great little rider, and an amazing saint of horse. Both are well schooled, and that is clear. Props to everyone involved. :)

NAILED IT.
i am like 16 and i can clearly see that the horse is doing all the work
Riding is not that easy, no matter how good the horse is, you still have to know what you are doing. Riding never comes that easy on any horse
What a fantastic horse, and a fantastic rider. Those big jumps are tough even for fit adults. The strength that young rider has must be phenomenal.
he is so totally awesome!!! im 12 and can't even jump that high!!
The people leaving mean comments are just jealous that this little kid can ride better than them.
Now THAT is something that can be appreciated from EVERY aspect!
I think that your son is amazing and a wonderful rider. He should be an inspiration to every nine year old, every rider, and every person out there! He's so young, and he's obviously worked very hard to reach his dreams. I can honestly say that at 14 years old, I cannot jump the way he jumps. Please always remind him just how awesome he is.
Many thanks for ur votes!!!! And for ur comments also!!! The smal boy is very proud to get so many views on youtube!!! Thank You!!!
Yes, the horse is doing the jumping, and it's an amazing horse. But if you ride horses, you'll understand that this kid has some serious talent.
omg that kid i amazing brave little rider
Honestly, that is just about the confidence of the kid, whether he was scared about jumping that or not, and telling the horse where to go.

This child rides beautifully. A horse with lots of manners and good brain. I could catch this video all day. Well done love it.
That must be so fun to get to be so fun to get to experience a horse like that that leaves from any where. That kid has pretty much talent too. Go Koreans haha Im Korean and show!!
this horse is very good at jumping, and very safe and kind!
This kid is just steering the horse around. All horses have bad days, they aren't perfect. When his horse doesn't have a perfect day... It's going to be bad.
Its cute how the rider just sits in the saddle and goes along with the flow haha! Too cute!
Its cool! But, I think he needs a smaller horse. Just puttin' it out there!
What an AWESOME horse and a BRAVE little boy :) And to those of you being so negative? WHY? So what if they are standing there to prevent a run-out. the kid is SEVEN!!! And the fact that he has the bravery to jump these fences is amazing in itself!! Dont be so critical!!!

Wow. That horse is so looking after the rider. What a great friendship they must have for each other. I wish my son could ride like that.
Wow I've been riding and barrel racing all my life and the kid can outride me lol
Wow! This a lovely little rider and a super, fabulous horse. To have a horse that can inspire such confidence in such a little chap, and to a little chap who is so at ease is absolutely wonderful.
i think this kid is amazing he can obviously ride. so what if hes only telling the horse where to go he is staying on over them jumps hes amazing
its so cute because you can tell the horse is trying to be gentle awwww !! i cant get over this !
omg amazing I want that horse!!!
Haha he has a super cute seat and rode that second jump great! Absolutely adorable

Tolles "video"! Have watched it over and over. Love how the kid uses his body and legs to steer the horse and how quiet his hands are for such an early age. And, he looks for the jump before he is in front of it. He will be a great rider. PRIMA!
im like, speechless.
That horse knew what he had on his back and was being so gentle over those jumps. The young man riding also has great balance and showed great style! They looked good together. My Clydesdale would love to take this chap for a ride. Usually he will take two little people at a time.
Lets just say this kid is braver than anyone else here. LOL
Fabulous riding and lovely, lovely horse. I love the way the young rider gave his horse a pat when he was finished. My horse and I are still working up to this height of jump!
he is barely releasing.. pause it while he is going over a jump...!!!!!!!!!!!!
What a wonderful horse! The rider looked very small and seemed to be using a lot of leg to keep the horse moving forward - but the horse seemed to be gently taking the rider over the jumps - great horse, in my opinion! :)
That was amazing
Everything is possible with a good school horse. He clearly knows the track and what he's supposed to do so that the rider doesn't have to worry about the details, but can consentrate on learning the basics
better than me !!!woahh
i dont understand why people put negative comments on here. no one knows exactly how good of a rider he is, which to me he looks amazing to be able to jump that high. good riders make it look easy and just because you might not be jumping that high and have been riding longer than hes been alive doesnt mean your better than he is. some just have that natural riding ability. personally i think everyone should be impressed by how well he rides this horse and how much hes accomplished. i am!
that kid should not be riding a horse that he can not see past its wither when hes on foot!
What a talented child and great gentle horse. A well matched pair.
why you use check rein :(
He's amazing! Wow.. And why do you guys comment if you don't like the video? Keep working, you're a perfect rider!
i dont know y people are giving out thwt kid did everything rite that probably u get rong.i cant even jump that high fair play!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Future champion! Excellent seat. Totally in tune with that horse. I guess there are a lot of other riders who will be thinking the same as me; I wish I was that good at that age.
I'm rather impressed....and I love how he pats the horse at the end. :)
He had more than just a nice seat and confidence. He was clearly turning the horse, and not just pulling on the reins, but the way the horse turned, you can tell the kid set up the turns and turned him nicely. He also was able to ask for the correct leads (get the horse turning) during the jumps. That's a lot more than just a nice seat.
OMG, that is so amazing,,the bond between horse and rider, and the rider is only 7..wow........good job.. I am almost 50 and never could jump that that...so awesome!!
What a well behaved and gentle horse! Invisible treats for you big boy!
And a lot of confidence :) Also a very nice horse, takes many years to make a horse this safe to ride.. Creds to the trainers :)
that child is WAY better than me. and great equitation too, especially for riding a larger horse for him. beautiful horse, awesome pair!!
this child is going to be such a champ when he/she gets older.
wow thats great that kid must have real talent. He has a great future ahead of him if he countinues jumping like that. And that horse looks like a perfect match for him. So cute
That young man is learning how to ride right! The horse is also very beautiful!
It would be great to take him and his horse on a pack trip to the mountains, now that would be fun!
That kid has had a great teacher!!! The horse too. kid has dedicated lotsa of time learning and practicing.
Doesn't matter how high you're jumping... no reason to be negative or rude. At least this little boy is learning and doing his best.
From what we can see its a quiet horse but the kid is doing all the work - he's riding it in a rhythm, he's keeping the jump in the canter & the horse soft, he lands, bends, rebalances...he's a very well educated and keen little rider.

the rider just knows how to hold on to a horse without fallling off. its the horse that's amazing.
my god that is going to be a power house team! that horse jumps like a feather landing on a pillow! wow and that child has 100% faith and skill! great team!
omg, it was so cute watching that kid ride such a big horse!
What a cool horse. talented kid too. He's going to go far.
Thought it was just a small person, but, wow! Very well done! Says something about the level if horsemanship and training at your barn:) Hello from Ottawa. Canada:)🍁
I wish my horse was this nice now haha :) Creds to the trainer for schooling this horse!
That horse is huge. Awesome job man
Well as you can see kid looks very secure and in total control and the horse is apparently angelic so there isnt too much not to like!
Holy moly... that is one huge horse and one huge jump for such a small and young kid!!! wow
Amazing! :) That's going to get his confidence up. Everyone has to start somewhere! :)

he is so LITTLE! he is amazing! omygawd i couldnt even trot when i was his age! he must be 7!
why is this unbelievable?? mad props to the kid and whoever trained the horse
The interesting thing about well trained horses (advanced), is they typically don't ride well unless you know which buttons to push.
