After 16 years.... I can safely say, I have had every single one of these trainers....
😂 oh boy
I can sadly say I have had none of these
😂
Lol same. I actually used to ride every summer and took dressage lesson for about a year. I not saying I'm good im saying I don't fall of but I've had all of these too.
I feel bad for you
"The meanie" is so my trainer! But she's the best and has taught me so much(-; This video is so accurate!
My trainer now of definitely the meanie lol
hahahah yep mean 99% of the time then it feels so good when they say anything positive ;-;
Mine is, “Too nice” lol.
SAME WITH ME literally is
Literly was the meany
My trainer is literally the best thing you could imagine. He’s so good at reminding you to do the basics like “heels down” without sounding mean. He’s so nice and you can tell he has a special relationship with horses. I’m so thankful I have him! My first trainer didn’t even tell me that you have to pick the feet.
Sounds like you got a good one!!! That is so special!
Same! I ended up with the best possible one
Same
Sounds like a good guy!
Same!
"Too Nice" is definitely me but I'm a therapeutic riding instructor so I guess that's okay 😂
Yea me too!! 😂
Well, everything else wouldn't be so great with your job, would it?
“Too nice” might not be a good name for it. It’s just different values/ priorities. If I just want to learn but I have no interest in competing, a more casual instructor sounds like a great time.
I'm new to it so I only give lesson to my riding friends to get feedback and while I correct them as much as I can, I'm too nice and I'm totally doing positive reinforcement with my "studens" 😂
If I reward a horse for every effort, why wouldn't I do the same with riders?
where therapeutic riding instruction is concerned, there's really no such thing as "too nice". many therapeutic riding students are not equipped (physically or psychologically) to be able to work with the "mean" instructor. one can be firm while still being kind.
The meanie just gave me some real bad flashbacks... I’m so happy to now ride with a trainer who is nice, caring, and compassionate and who actually cares about my riding success!
Me too ! I felt bad after the training sessions with the meanie one :( .
When you said “hey Siri” my Siri was like what do you want
😂😂😂
@@GypsyEquestrian siri does not reapond to me i have to press the button, when u swid it she was like. Ok
@@GypsyEquestrian Me Too!😂🤣🤣
I don't have siri but I do have a Scottish accent so voice activated things don't understand me anyway. 🤣
“The Meanie” was like my first trainer and I hated her, I don’t know if she meant it or not but we just didn’t connect. To be honest, I cried each lesson cause her normal voice was yelling and I’m unable to take that, and the way she criticized was horrible for me, and I just couldn’t take it. Once she hired another trainer it just went uphill, and we just went on from there. I have a different trainer now but the person she hired just got me through everything, even my first fall.
Same my trainer is definitely the meanie but I’m stuck with her :(
Me too! I can’t learn anything from a person like that. Thankfully I’ve never had a trainer like that for a long period of time, which is great
Yes me to . My old trainer used to scream at me and make me feel like I was not listening but really she wasn’t explaining. I cried sometimes. I moved barns mostly because of her and I am so much happier 🤗
Omg same here, I had a very mean trainer who humiliated me instead of training. I was with her for 5 years but now I’m at a new place! The trainer is amazing and my ridding is improving!! I was in your exact shoes 👞 once........
I really hope I never have a meanie trainer. My first one was Awesome. But I quit for now. Than I got a new trainer for barrel racing. Shes awesome. Got me through so much. She was very patient with me. We did 2-3 hour lessons. She said she would do it for free but we(me) just had to pay her
I’ve lessoned with a “meanie” trainer a couple of times but she would only get like that with the kids that didn’t listen after she corrected the same thing multiple times in a row or put themselves in danger. I recently did a private with her and she yelled “LEG” to correct me while I was jumping for the first time in 5+ months so I was a little rusty and delayed in my aids. I fixed myself immediately and she literally said “oh my god that sounded mean, I forgot that you’re sensitive to my tone and I don’t have to yell to teach you.”
Omg that’s hilarious
That’s awesome though that she’s conscious and aware of how to change her teaching style to suit different types of students . I feel like this is what a great trainer/instructor does 😄
Awhh im happy she realized that your not of the "i know everything" kids and your not what of them!:) My trainer is a guy, and his natural voice is a little louder, but hes not mean! Hes very funny but if u ignore him he can be really loud:)
Ikkkkkkkkkkkk
thats what my trainers like lol
My instructor is perfect. She is super kind, not too kind that she just does random things when I mess up and say it’s fine, she corrects me and helps me on what im struggling with, she listens to me and if I don’t think I can do a jump, she will either lower it if it’s too high or comfort me. She can take a joke as well, which is always nice so I can laugh when I mess up and she will laugh and she is just amazing.
Yes sounds exactly like my instructor!!
Just like mine!
my trainer is the same way! We’re pretty close in age because i started riding late and shes been riding her whole life so shes super easy to talk to and is a very visual teacher! I love being able to laugh through a mistake but still get good criticism, which is not something i could say about other instructors ive had!!
I hope I had a trainer that behaved lik that :,)
@@mortmort97 that’s good :)
The meanie is so refreshing though they are so honest and Then when you do something right it is like the best feeling in the world
I think a meanie is good for like a refresher every couple months 😂 my barn manager has the main trainer and will occasionally bring in her friend and they do a “meanie” style lesson together lol
Agreed. Sometimes being told you suck is great and very helpful. But, depending on how they're mean, I think they're a lot like a toxic romantic relationship where they create that dynamic of keeping you on an emotional rollercoaster. But maybe that's just me.
My trainer is a mix between a "too nice" and a "meanie" Like if I mess up she will get a little mad. But she tells me what I'm supposed to be doing and how to do it. But if I do good then she tells me. So I like her
My first trainer can't even be called a trainer, everything that I knew I learned through the books I read. I literally just (incorrectly) trotted in circles and did the occasional basic pattern, and believed that I must be a terrible rider since I didn't even learn how to canter in nearly 5 years. The next one was even worse, because on top of being useless, she was also mean as hell. But now, after nearly a decade of no riding at all, I got back in the saddle in october, and I'm already leagues better than I ever was. My trainer is a godsent. she makes sure to teach and correct without being mean, praises you when needed and she only scolds you if you are being unsafe or bother others.
I wouldn't worry about it. I've been riding 22 years (since I was 6) and I absolutely hate cantering. Haven't done it for close to a decade now. 🤣 I've never been able to sit a canter either, I either bounce and slam down on the horses back or I have to lean forwards. 🤷♀️ very few horses i feel safe cantering on, and majority of them are now dead.. It was a long time ago..
We need to get you more subs
Two years ago, my trainer got really mad at all of us (I was in a group lesson) and she was being the mean trainer. It was a really rough lesson. She by one point made us all stop and started telling us we weren't working hard enough. Infact two of the girls I was riding with were crying by the end of the talk. She said that only one of us were working hard and she wouldn't say who that was. But it's been two years since that and she's still my teacher. And she's the best teacher I've ever had.
Woah. That was long.😂😂
My sister had the "too nice" instructor once (she was looking for a new barn to take lessons after a move). Immediately knew she would learn nothing at that place and found one with a "mean-ish" instructor (pulls zero punches but is just as quick to let you know when you get it right as when you get it wrong). I started riding there when I moved back home after college and I LOVE it. The brutal honesty did take a little getting used to, but I've learned a lot.
You forgot the one who can tell you what you need to improve on without sounding mean, and won’t put you in a group until the rider is ready to not have the full attention of them and doesn’t charge extra for one on ones because they want the rider to be comfortable and not nervous
Yeah, I think I'd be a pretty good trainer since I've been riding over 22 years (since I was 6) but it's going through the exams as well as my massive anxiety. I do coach a woman for the dressage though. She usually scores mid to high 60s.. When she listens 🤣 "you've cut that corner again across the diagonal"
You know, my trainer is the worst combination. The Meanie and Uninterested. I have been teaching myself for a few months
You need to get yourself a new instructor STAT!
Girl leave that trainer! You need one to help you and teach u
My trainer is honestly the best fit for me right now, she is so calm and patient with me but also points out stuff and gives me tough love ! It’s got to be a healthy balance !
You forgot my trainer the one that rides with you lol
So I'm a very sensitive person and I've had my first riding lesson. I just realized my instructor qualifies as the meanie because I was having too much fun. Yelling "you're wasting your dad's money on lessons" would have usually made me cry but it was oddly funny today 😂
I took lessons at an Arabian farm, saddle-broke 6-7 year-olds. Got my favorite quotes from my trainer there:
- "I don't know - you're going to ride him, not me!" (on "lunging before trail ride")
- "By the way, this is the first time he's out since last fall..." (five minutes into a trail ride in spring, with BO)
- "Now, when he bolts next time..." (ice sliding off the arena roof)
- "If she runs away with you, remember, circles are your friend!"
- "Be careful!" (double checks girth before going outside for cool-down walk)
and the best one:
- "He's so much calmer with you than with *assistant trainer*!"
everyone thinks my favorite trainer is rude because she isn’t afraid to tell the truth! if we cut a corner, “ew that corner was disgusting do it again” but then again she says YES YES YES PERFECT KEEP GOING AMAZING!!!! she’s a mix of mean and nice and she knows the riders boundaries and really shows it she is my favorite haha
“the meanie” is so my trainer (aka my mom 😎😂) but she’s taught me a lot!
My first trainer was definitely the ‘ Too Nice ‘. She didn’t seem to have much discipline, and didn’t tell us much. She was also distracted and wouldn’t help me with the girth when I needed it. She told me to use the pommel to rise in trot, which resulted in me not being able to steer my horse. Only on the day she wasn’t there, when Michelle (My current trainer) had to step in, did I learn to trot. She didn’t even tell me to push my weight into my heels or the stirrups. Then when I switched to Wednesdays with Michelle, I started getting better at riding. Michelle is perfect for me, with a balance of calm yet strict, and has over 40 years of experience. She’s honestly perfect, which I’m very glad to have.
My trainer is the best. She'll work your buns off, but she's polite about it and it makes her praise a lot more meaningful. Also, she can work your buns off while training a green two-year old! 😂 She's wonderful and she's done so much for me. Great video!
Aw that’s great! I love my trainer too😁
@@skyequestrian It makes learning easy when you've got a trainer you love. 👍 I'm excited right now because my trainer is having an indoor arena built! It's gonna make riding in the winter so much easier.
That sounds like a lot of fun! We only have an outdoor but thankfully the winters aren’t too bad here.
@@skyequestrian Well, supposedly we don't have winters too bad here either, but I'm an utter wimp about the cold and we have a north wind almost constantly blowing.
How's you're riding going?
It’a going well, I really feel that I’m improving! 😁
The best youtuder ever posted
Love your channel!❤️
Awwww thanks!
Okay but when the “meanie” trainor said “thats not the horses fault that’s your fault” it was very true
Oh my, it makes me realize how much “too nice” I am 😂 Need to add a little spice to that
While I'm not an official teacher since here in the UK I believe you need to do exams and such to qualify but I do coach a lady when she's doing dressage, like if she cuts a corner and does her free walk stretch from the corner instead of from F or K etc I'll let her know she turned too early and has to come further down the straight side before crossing.
@@Kat-mu8wq Wait, what does it have to do with my comment?
Last month, I switched from the “too nice” trainer to a “meanie” and it was so crushing to realize that I wasn’t as good as the previous trainer kept telling me. I feel like it’s better to have a “meanie” because I actually learn things.
I’m definitely the Too Nice. I teach beginners and I have to blow off when they completely ignore what I say and do their own thing 😂
The Meanie is always the best trainer in everything. Gives you that bite you know
“to nice “ is definitely my trainer, she is so nice(my trainer I have now is definitely also my favourite trainer!
The owner of the stable i go horse riding in (basically trainer since she owns all the horses) is so kind. Shes so open and caring, she loves animals. She has taken in ponys that cant get ridden, and a rescue. Always do health checks etc. the first thing i noticed was how fast she learned my name! She never says «you on ‘horses name’» she says my actual name. From the first day, she says «good job!» when you do something good. Shes so caring
Oml, the “Disinterested” and “Too Nice” are wayyyy to relatable
Ohmygod...My trainer is just like meanie...'You look like a snail so hunched over in your saddle! Sit the hell up!'
My trainer so far is amazing! Her name is Rusa and she’s 40 and she is soooo chill but i still get the work done! She’s incredibly kind and laid back and only wants the best for her students! Thank you Rusa!
She is kinda like the nice! Not too nice and not a pushback!!
My trainer really cares about what happens and isn’t super strict she always pays attention to what I’m doing and cares for my safety!
Mine is the last one! She is super kind and she always lets me know when I am doing somthing wrong in such a nice way!
I'd love to see Coaching styles at shows : you've the way too intense , the socialite , the therapist , the just right etc
My instructor is kind of a combination beacause sometimes he has to answer the phone calls and he also reminds me to fix my mistakes like keeping the hands close to each other. He also teaches me how to take care of the horse that I ride. She is a mare that I leased from him and he tells me to sometimes take it slower with her because she is old. After that, we need to untack her and we do that together so I can learn. Then he reminds me the safety steps with the horse. For example: when I put her into her stable box to make sure that she doesn't spook at anything. So he is a really good instructor.🎉
I don’t have a trainer, my grandma just teaches me everything lol
I have had combinations of the disinterested and the meanie, but the rest of my instructors have been amazing!!! As an instructor myself, I started out a bit like the unprepared and the newbie before I found my feet and got into the swing of things of what each of my students and horses needed (like grabbing crops/whips or knowing what to set up based off of what they needed to work on). I also got much better at seeing diagonals and cantering leads right away. To ride it is one thing, to see it is another!!! Overall though, now I am a healthy balance of fun, encouragement and praise, and education!!!
As a tennis coach, I am definitely the too nice one. Lol. that's a bit different though, because over time the kids improve their eye hand coordination and swing. I do get after my students though for the things they need to work on, but I definitely overpraise lol.
“The Meanie” is soooooo my new trainer, I honestly don’t really like her but I also do at the same time 😂
She NAILED the mean trainer.
my teacher is like, half meanie. she's kinda strict, but shes like family to me, i love her so much and she is so supportive of everything i've done and she never is so mean that she makes me cry.
My last trainer would just basically have a bunch of different level riders in the arena at one time, shout “heels down” at anyone that wasn’t jumping, and she actually paid attention to the more advanced riders
I feel like my trainer is all of these rolled into one 😂😂 she’s great though she's taught me so much :)
The very first few in the beginning had me giggling 😆
Yesss so true! Also, did I hear a Wellington hint in there?!
🤷🏼♀️🤣
Through my 10 years of riding I have had every single one of these and I'm happy to say that I'm settled with a wonderful trainer that is probably one of the better ones that I've had
Omg I love you guys so much - you make my day of work at the stable so much easier 🤣🤣🤣
somehow it comes down to "the meanie" but also the "too nice" but its not a mid way point its an awkward mix
Been fortunate to have a lot of good instructors.
I used to have an unqualified college student as my instructor. She would literally just scroll on her phone and then occasionally look up and yell "HEELS DOWN!" or, "PICK YOUR HANDS UP!"
Mine is genuinely the nicest. She always reminds me to keep my heels down and she’s so encouraging and always reminds me to breathe and have fun and she acc never lets me give up I acc love her
I had both a “mean” trainer who was the best one I ever had. Then the “disinterested” one that I learned nothing with, then the “nice” one who was also at the same time way more worried about her own competitions than mine 🤣🤣
The dissinterested one is so much like my trainer, even though she has taught me so much, she is ALWAYS on her phone.
Lmfao most of the time I’m too nice until you hit a certain level then I’m the meanie 😂
My trainer I would describe as the diamond. Super knowledgeable and able to push you at the right time and teaching a lot. We have to wear a comtec when riding because her voice isn't very loud. But she speaks in the most calming way that makes you feel great. I'm so happy I found my barn because I love it!
my trainer is always prepared, she even tacked up my horse abt 30 mins before my lesson, luv u evon
The "meanie" was so my instructor! Everyone didn't really like her but I did. In the end my instructor left to work somewhere else!
I have a mix between the “too nice” and “unprepared”
All these mean teachers.. Meanwhile my instructor is the nicest person ever-
All my trainers have been "meanies" but not to that extent lol, they've all been great though and I really learned a lot with them
I swear that my trainer is not always prepared- he is just like- just let me see what you need to jump today
My trainer is laid back, but she makes sure you get things done correctly. She’s extremely nice, but firm with what she wants you to do, I love my trainer! Tbh she’s actually like my best friend at this point
Mine is super nice and is an eventer (which I want to do as well). Only time she's lost patience is when my horse was acting up on one end of the arena (does it sometimes), and just grabbed a helmet, jumped on and started getting my horse to behave again (he started speed trotting out of the arena). Super grateful to have her!
Ive have only actually had the normal one she teaches me exactly what I need as a beginner shes not to nice but shes not to mean shes a great beginner trainer
Lol, when she said "Hey Siri" it triggered mine. I wanted to be sure it wasn't a fluke and went back to the point in the vid before she said it. Guess what, it happened again, LMAO
Oh my this is hilarious!
the meanie gave me flashbacks to one of my old instructor they would say stuff like you did ALL the time lol🤣
My trainer is way to nice she’s like “u messed up but that was awesome “
“HeY CaSaNdRa”
Everyone is talking about the kinds of trainers they have... then there's me self taught since I was 2 😂😂😂 I dont know the pain
You know my trainer is literally the best you could ask for she her horses taught me so much
I'm definitely a "too nice" trainer mainly because I prioritize my students' learning abilities. Some learn faster and some learn slower and that's ok! I want them to feel like they can ask questions without being judged and make mistakes without being driven to tears. Of course as they advance I begin to have higher expectations and I become stricter but I always make sure they can try their hardest. I've been teaching that way for 3 years and all my students have done so well and I always let them know that every little achievement is special!
I’m a beginner and I have the “meanie” trainer but she be really nice and helpful😂
" A enter working trot!" * bounce bounce*
The meanie is honestly my fav kinda trainer just cause I personally feel like I learn the most from them
Try saying that when you're 6 and being screamed at.
@@Kat-mu8wq I started riding when I was 3 so believe me I was screamed at quite often as a kid
I've Never had a mean trainer, but The "Meanie" was so on point realistic, and familiar lol!
Mines the unprepared, the I don’t care, and the meanie.
LOVE!
My trainer is the definition of perfect I literally fell in love with horses in my first lesson because idk how but she not only was a great teacher but somehow someway got me to say "Nice one Mieke"(Mieke is the name of my horse) in one day so needless to say she's like the person who gets you to love your horse but at the same time the person who teaches you how to take care of your horse and how to ride in 30 minutes a week!
i love your channel
I used to work for a riding instructor that charged people for an hours lesson, causally walk into the arena 15 mins into the "lesson" then causally walk back out 5 mins early! And no one ever said anything to her!
My trainer is the meanie but I still love her so much cause I have learned a lot from her
I think my first official pony taught me more than any of my teachers. 🤣 (I dont classify that bay thing as my first, he was just a prick) but my little black welshy.. He was only about 12.2hh but could jump 2.5ft with ease (when he felt like it), he taught me how to canter, stay on a rearing horse, how to stop when you have no brakes because the person that had him on loan destroyed his mouth, he was brilliant fun. ..back then, now he's the opposite of what I want. Slow no ploddy suits me fine 🤣 ....so I bought an Arab......🙄 he's part-bred but I backed him myself and he is quite lazy and has a mind of his own.. When he's had enough trotting he'll just put himself back into walk. 🤣
Sooooo true!
this is so true just keep doing what your doing i love thesee types of videos so funny
the meanie is abby lee of horse trainers
My barn manager brings in a different trainer occasionally and shes a “meanie.” I had to ride her horse in the lesson and every time something went well it was because he was a good horse, any time something went bad she would say “that was terrible, you know that was your fault right?” One girl even told the barn manager she was scared the trainer was gonna yell at her. Shes a nice lady but doesnt seem to know the value of a compliment 😂
This is just Hilarious😂
Love these! I always wanted a trainer!
I love your videos
She activated my Siri. 😭
Very well designed video, good job :)
My trainer before I moved was the nice one, I learned a lot
I get mixed trianers but usually the same and shes so nice!
Mine is a mix of the meanie and the over enthusiastic
Yup I can safely say my coach is a mixture of all of them lmao shes pretty rough on the outside tho but once you know her she's great. And I was definitely the newbie with my first lesson teaching lol I had no idea what I was doing. Not even knowing how to roll up the stirrups so I am very glad the child wasn't trotting yet 😭🤦🏼♀️😅
My trainer is bossy. But funny at the same time. She's always encouraging me and telling me good job and when she reminds me of something she does it not to sound mean
