@@dariaharruff7025 I find it kinda offensive that you're saying horseback riding can go to hell just bc some mean ppl forced you to do it and you didn't like it. I love horseback riding and I understand that you don't like it but you could've just said that.
I learned something today....even though I dont know what it means. I'm guessing its iether a style of riding or certain breeds?....English and western? People who know horses ..help.. maybe?..
@@leahhailstones2457 sure! Western riding is what everyone thinks of with cowboys and the Wild West and all that. They have larger “western” saddles. Western was originally used to herd cattle, and the saddle is more comfortable to sit longer periods of time. English saddles were more commonly used in England, and are commonly used for jumping, where you need a smaller light weight saddle with lots of mobility.
@@aidyncorkum7085 no but I’m telling you it’s pisses me off when People talk like that in real life never mind over a literal TH-cam comment that you type....that’s a sign you have a problem
I have been going to horse camp for a long time and I honestly love helping the beginners. I often wished people at horse camp helped me when I was a beginner and when they did not be snotty about it. I find just so much joy when I can teach them
Exactly the first time i rode a horse it was at a horse camp and all the know it all horse brats told me i did not know what i was doing like " duh but it would be nice of you to help me"
@@alexbinion614 Once I got to the point of being advanced enough to have the knowledge and skill to help beginners (so since about my 6th year of riding - I rode mostly on and off until my 8th year), I've always loved it - in college, that meant helping my classmates the first year and my friends in the classes below me the other three years. Worked at a couple camps with horses during college, and thoroughly enjoyed helping teach the kids how to ride. Loved helping beginners so much that, after college, I went through certification to become an instructor myself.
i want to start riding but don’t know where to start, should i start with horse camp or should i start lessons then horse camp? are people mean at horse camp?
@@adly_m6307 The kids and instructors were nice at the camp I went to all 3 years I went (it was a Christian camp, so that may have had something to do with it, but I don't know for sure), as they also were where I took lessons for 6 years (okay, scratch that - there was one particular person at that stable, not a kid, who wasn't very nice to me, but she was the only one who wasn't and she and I were almost never there at the same time); I think whether they're nice or not really depends on the camp. As for lessons before camp or vice versa, I think that's honestly a personal choice and based on what you can afford and what's available to you. I know lots of people who started at camp and then switched to lessons (me included), as well as people who started at lessons and also went to camp. Most camps in my experience (I went to one and worked at two others, so my experience is limited, but based on what I've learned over the last 10 years, a lot of camps appear to be similar to those with regards to how the riding program is run) are designed to cater primarily to the beginner rider, who has never ridden a horse before, but many also divide campers up into different groups based on skill level and experience. I know some riding stables require you to have your own horse (whether owned, leased, borrowed, or some other arrangement), while others provide the horses. For lessons (depending on the program), there's a good chance you'll get more riding time, but that varies from one to the next as well (my third year of camp, I think we had more riding time in a day than I did when I did lessons), and often in riding lessons (again, depending on the stable) you're more likely to be responsible for catching, grooming, and tacking and untacking, while camps will often have the horses already tacked up and ready to ride when you get to the barn, at least for less experienced riders. Honestly, the best advice I can give is do your research on the camps and riding lesson programs that are available to you, taking into account things that would likely be important factors (for example, price, lesson length, class size, distance you would have to drive to get there and how often you would have to drive it, whether the classes are divided up by skill level, whether you are required to provide your own horse, what time(s) of year the camp or lessons are offered, any age restriction (if applicable), etc. - I'm in the process of setting up my own lesson program, so these are all factors I've recently had to consider and make decisions about), and make your decision based on that. Hope that helps at least a little bit, because honestly that's about all I can really say - it really does ultimately come down to personal preference and what is available to you.
Okay so I went to camp at my barn and this one girl she literally told her horse well she rode MY horse because I couldn't say no to my trainer, anyways she told the horse to stop galloping when it was in a western trot. And she went "oh I knew that" Okay so when I went to camp I was having problems with my leg, right and so my trainer said I probably shouldn't go any faster than a trot. And then Tory (the annoying know it all) was cantering on the lunge line but apparently she has riding for 8 years and she still cant canter on her own when she literally said before we got on that she loves to canter and that's the best "mode". Yeah she said mode. Basically she called me a baby because I wasn't cantering. So yeah, I hope she doesn't come next year.

oh noes o_o I'm so lucky because the camp I go to they don't let kids lie like that and all the older and more experienced kids are pretty nice and chill .o. ( Also they lady who owns the camp doesn't like most new kids because they are either scared of everything or act like a know it all - w-' ) it's not bad to be scared it's just you gotta learn to try new things once in a while, it's good to open up sometimes . w.
I help out at summer camps all the time, and this is SO realistic. I had like five kids that thought they were professional riders, they kept telling all the kids to do it ‘Their way’. It was always super funny when someone would have to tell them they were doing it wrong, they’d try and make excuses.
I loved that part. My other favorite part was, I ride Eastern and Western. Those were Hilarious. All gypsy Equestrian videos are awesome and very entertaining. I wish I had horse friends like you all, when I was younger. I wish I had more horse people in my life now. All of you at Gypsy Equestrian, don't forget how awesome you all are!
I miss summer camp so much, I was a wrangler for one last year and it was absolutely amazing, I teach riding lessons to beginners and it’s always so fun to see what they think of it (the ones who watch Free rein religiously and think they know how to ride, the scared ones we work slowly with, the super excited ones who will listen to us talk about horses and how to ride for HOURS) the variety is honestly amazing and I can’t wait to do it all again next year tbh
Y'all forgot the ones like me: "Hey can I call dibs on riding (horse)?" "Oh yeah SPEED TIME." "Trail ride? Did someone say trail ride?" "Get to ~wash the horses~ yay." I was that kid.
As an instructor at a horse camp, I've seen all of these and more xD Gotta love seeing straight through the compulsive liar types hahaha. Had one once that would go on about how she galloped her horse side saddle over logs and whatnot, but could hardly rise trot...
I have a farm that does educational events. Why do so many grown men feel the need to tell me about how they grew up riding on grandpa’s farm, going on cattle drives, and loooooove galloping… only to demonstrate their ignorance around my horses (calling them all stallions, saying our minis are baby horses, walking up right behind the horses, etc.)? 😂 It really is okay to not pretend you know more than you do!
@@Firstfalconfree Oh my.. I teach beginners and middle-advanced in my stable and there was once a man who was offending our pony because of his size (While Barry is great pony, comfortable like sofa, good for children and also the other horse had heavy training with other student with my colleague before, so i didn't want her to override and took pony) and other dude was correcting me when I said one of the mares was pregnant. I don't recall if english has dofferent words for human pregnancy and horse pregnancy like my native polish, but I used the human word instead of horse one. Which is funny, because nobody even uses the horse word for it, but the old man had to show he knows something. Absolutely annoying
This reminds me of when we had our most experience riders take their own horses and demonstrate what not to do. One was holding one reign really tightly the other really loosely and the person behind her said. “Just forget the reigns all together.” And dropped them it was funny they were trying to one up eachother with the worst horse riding.
And then the actually experienced people (like me, who hates horse camp lmao) are treated like beginners because the counselors don't believe they've been riding since they were 6.
i want to start riding but don’t know where to start, should i start with horse camp or should i start lessons then horse camp? are people mean at horse camp?
@@adly_m6307 I cannot stress this enough: lessons at a qualified barn! my friends had never ridden before and didn't learn anything at horse camp. sorry, I don't mean to sound super annoyed but lessons are definitely the better choice. and people are not mean, the counselors just overall don't teach you anything. that's my experience, but there can be some good ones out there I've just never gotten the chance to go to. have fun if you decide to start :) (sorry for the whole paragraph)
@@adly_m6307 Probably lessons. At horse camp, some people may be mean, and also the counselors might not be able to take the time to properly help and teach you if there are other people who also need help. Of course, there are probably some camps that do this really well, but I think lessons are good way to start. Have fun!
I always had this terrible attitude towards beginners in other sports, I wasn't mean or anything, but in my head I judged them. But when I started riding, I didn't feel that way anymore. I love seeing new riders and helping them makes me happy. Thanks to horse riding I'm not a jerk who gets validation from internally putting others down. Always remember that even the greatest riders were beginners once, and the people you're looking down on might be better than you one day
So I'm currently teaching someone in horse camp (its taught by older teenagers (I'm 17) when the instructor double books herself) and she's riding one of the lesson horses who used to be a 2D barrel horse. We've been working on getting her slow and showing her that slow is the key to being a lesson horse. Anyways, I'm one of her main riders and I've done most of her training to get her here. The girl that I'm teaching, let's call her Karen, she tells me how she wants to canter and gallop her in the arena. Now, keep in mind that this is an ex barrel horse who we've turned into a calm, beginner lesson horse, but it is so easy for this horse to revert to her old self. I tell the girl 'no' and she tells her mom what I said, so then the mom talks to the lead instructor/owner of the barn and she tells me that I should at least let the girl try to do it. So I did today otherwise I wouldn't be paid for my time. And this girl just takes off galloping around the arena, has no care for the other slower lesson horses teaching other kids, and nearly runs her into the fence. This mare is 25 and can't handle a serious injury. I'm a drill rider and I lease her. Now she's basically out for the entire week and there's no other horse for me to ride since it's a big team. Don't know if'll be charged for vet bills or the girl's parents will, since I'm fully leasing the horse.
OH my goodness! That is simply the worst. I have never been in your position but that is just not okay. I personally feel like you should be able to say NO to whoever or whatever if you are full leasing the horse. She needs to 100% pay for whatever damage. Also, maybe you could drop her as a student? Have you watched Free Rein? That show BUGS the heck out of me because the main character, Zoe, is a total beginner and directly disobeys her instructors and the barn rules and takes off cantering a "crazy" horse. I think some people like "Karen" see those examples and think "oh I could do that!" 🙄 I am so protective of my horse and will not let anyone who has that sort of attitude EVER ride. Anyways... I'm done ranting. I am SO sorry that you are in the position that you are in. I hope your barn manager will see that letting "Karen" get her way while going against her Riding Instructors (your) advice was a bad idea. Some people need to learn that patience is key and you don't always get to go from level 1 to level 20 overnight. There is no instant gratification with horses. If she expects that, she should find a new sport! Good luck Anna! Hope your horse feels better soon 💜
Anna, get a lawyer! Immediately, these kind of people need to learn that they are absolutely NOT allowed to treat any horse that way! Especially since you’re responsible for the horse 💯 Your “ barn manager” needs to grow balls...... totally irresponsible on their part!!!! Please get a lawyer 👍🙏💯 The brat absolutely needs to pay for damages done to the horse. The so called “ manager “ should be dismissed immediately!
Oh my, the owner of the barn should be liable. Period. Such a terrible decision- and the girl should have been thrown out of the program, and her parents also responsible.
@@GypsyEquestrian lol don't go making fun of my favorite show 😂 I don't act like Zoe, because I don't have to guts and I respect the horses and the instructors, and she does get on my nerves sometimes. But it's an entertaining show lol I love you channel btw
@@lorelaim1963 I like Free Rein. I watched the whole series and specials. @Gypsy Equestrian I agree with you with what you said about "Karen". (Sorry I like Free Rein and Heartland) I see a lot of flaws in both! @Anna That kid was wrong and her parents were spoiling her and "Karen" is dangerous to others at the barn. As far as I'm concerned, you are in the right. I say be ready to get a lawyer and just get a consultation, if need be.
This is actually a horse barn at a Christian camp and the only reason I know because I recognized some of the horses in the video. I’ve ridden some of them too but this was hilarious.😂
OMG this is bang on, all the different personalities, only no one was crying on the first day… lol and omg the pink top…. Too many like her… lol love, love the bloopers, well done guys..
Even though it was meant as entertainment, this gave me some ideas of how, as a new instructor, to potentially handle some of these sorts of situations if they arise.
I was the nervous one, so my instructors fixed that by only putting me on crazy ex-racehorses - you learn to ride real fast when your life is on the line lmao
It makes me laugh cause I know that all these people actually know how to ride. And the horses are probably thinking, " what the heck are you strange two legged things doing?"
5:51 is honestly my life. I hate yelling at beginners but sometimes they are just so clueless. Like i'll be cantering and all of a sudden they will cut me off. Never ends well when my mare is fresh! 😂 These videos are so funny by the way!! I love them!!
That's why I always make sure to teach (and reinforce) basic arena etiquette if I ever have more than one rider in the corral at a time. Saves a huge headache, because they learn early on not to cut each other off or pass someone without letting the person know. Wish they'd taught even basic arena etiquette in my college's horsemanship class - would have been a huge help for everyone, and would have saved me from startling every time someone passed me closely without giving any warning.
5:17 Lol I'm a complete beginner that will probably never get to ride due to one of my illnesses, and even I would know that does not go on the butt lol
Sounds logical to me! I'm pretty sure I rode the same horse, but in the ring he was "Morty" and on the trail he was "Tiger" or some other equally spirited name. 😜
Lol mine always wanted the grey or the palomino, who were kinda nutty, to which my response was to always give them the most boring basic bay lololol. No shade I love bays, they are simple & easy going more often than the paints greys and palominos
A sitcom with these characters would be hilarious!! Especially the girl who doesnt even want to be there "Just ask my great aunt Ruthy!" "Well give me her number. Call her 🙄"
This is exactly why all campers start off on a lead line for at least the first day and never bridle. Sometimes they get to saddle and most are independent buy the end of the week.
@@maryalbrecht8299 My allergies are either skin reactive or give me headaches that turn to migraines if not medicated in time. My horse allergy gives me headaches. It sucks but not bad enough to make me quit

@@adly_m6307 I cannot stress this enough: lessons at a qualified barn! my friends had never ridden before and didn't learn anything at horse camp. sorry, I don't mean to sound super annoyed but lessons are definitely the better choice. and people are not mean, the counselors just overall don't teach you anything. that's my experience, but there can be some good ones out there I've just never gotten the chance to go to. have fun if you decide to start :) (sorry for the whole paragraph)
@@adly_m6307 Probably lessons. At horse camp, some people may be mean, and also the counselors might not be able to take the time to properly help and teach you if there are other people who also need help. Of course, there are probably some camps that do this really well, but I think lessons are good way to start. Have fun!
Oh my god same!!
@@maddie28 the only horse camps I’ve been too that really teach me are ones in pony club
I always had this terrible attitude towards beginners in other sports, I wasn't mean or anything, but in my head I judged them. But when I started riding, I didn't feel that way anymore. I love seeing new riders and helping them makes me happy. Thanks to horse riding I'm not a jerk who gets validation from internally putting others down. Always remember that even the greatest riders were beginners once, and the people you're looking down on might be better than you one day
the horses be like: wtf are they doing ;0 lmao
@Emma Schimmel yeah 😂
horses arw natural actors
It still makes me sad to know that this was four years ago. I remember watching this with my best friend and laughing at all of them.
Crazy how time flies
I can so relate to this. Lol The horses even have that “oh good camp kids” face in the video. Lol Great job portraying the types.
1:51 u would think that the horse was galloping lmao 😂
Haha my friend’s parents used to breed horses when she was a kid and first few canters (as she said) she used to just yell
3:50 omg how polite and cute he is aww
So I'm currently teaching someone in horse camp (its taught by older teenagers (I'm 17) when the instructor double books herself) and she's riding one of the lesson horses who used to be a 2D barrel horse. We've been working on getting her slow and showing her that slow is the key to being a lesson horse. Anyways, I'm one of her main riders and I've done most of her training to get her here. The girl that I'm teaching, let's call her Karen, she tells me how she wants to canter and gallop her in the arena. Now, keep in mind that this is an ex barrel horse who we've turned into a calm, beginner lesson horse, but it is so easy for this horse to revert to her old self. I tell the girl 'no' and she tells her mom what I said, so then the mom talks to the lead instructor/owner of the barn and she tells me that I should at least let the girl try to do it. So I did today otherwise I wouldn't be paid for my time. And this girl just takes off galloping around the arena, has no care for the other slower lesson horses teaching other kids, and nearly runs her into the fence. This mare is 25 and can't handle a serious injury. I'm a drill rider and I lease her. Now she's basically out for the entire week and there's no other horse for me to ride since it's a big team. Don't know if'll be charged for vet bills or the girl's parents will, since I'm fully leasing the horse.
OH my goodness! That is simply the worst. I have never been in your position but that is just not okay. I personally feel like you should be able to say NO to whoever or whatever if you are full leasing the horse. She needs to 100% pay for whatever damage. Also, maybe you could drop her as a student?
Have you watched Free Rein? That show BUGS the heck out of me because the main character, Zoe, is a total beginner and directly disobeys her instructors and the barn rules and takes off cantering a "crazy" horse. I think some people like "Karen" see those examples and think "oh I could do that!" 🙄 I am so protective of my horse and will not let anyone who has that sort of attitude EVER ride. Anyways... I'm done ranting. I am SO sorry that you are in the position that you are in. I hope your barn manager will see that letting "Karen" get her way while going against her Riding Instructors (your) advice was a bad idea.
Some people need to learn that patience is key and you don't always get to go from level 1 to level 20 overnight. There is no instant gratification with horses. If she expects that, she should find a new sport!
Good luck Anna! Hope your horse feels better soon 💜
Anna, get a lawyer! Immediately, these kind of people need to learn that they are absolutely NOT allowed to treat any horse that way! Especially since you’re responsible for the horse 💯
Your “ barn manager” needs to grow balls...... totally irresponsible on their part!!!! Please get a lawyer 👍🙏💯
The brat absolutely needs to pay for damages done to the horse. The so called “ manager “ should be dismissed immediately!
Oh my, the owner of the barn should be liable. Period.
Such a terrible decision- and the girl should have been thrown out of the program, and her parents also responsible.
@@GypsyEquestrian lol don't go making fun of my favorite show 😂 I don't act like Zoe, because I don't have to guts and I respect the horses and the instructors, and she does get on my nerves sometimes. But it's an entertaining show lol I love you channel btw
@@lorelaim1963 I like Free Rein. I watched the whole series and specials.
@Gypsy Equestrian I agree with you with what you said about "Karen". (Sorry I like Free Rein and Heartland) I see a lot of flaws in both!
@Anna That kid was wrong and her parents were spoiling her and "Karen" is dangerous to others at the barn. As far as I'm concerned, you are in the right. I say be ready to get a lawyer and just get a consultation, if need be.
Oh my grandfather owns the WHOLE place 😊
Ok. Thank you falisha for bringing that up.
This is actually a horse barn at a Christian camp and the only reason I know because I recognized some of the horses in the video. I’ve ridden some of them too but this was hilarious.😂
What's the name of the camp?
@@rebeccac.5823 I am 99.9% sure it’s Spring Hill in Michigan I went there many summers when I was growing up I loved it!!!
So cool! I didn’t know they were Christian 🥰 or maybe it was just filmed there
@@jessicasalvatore4633 I GO TO SPRINGHILL AND LOVE IT, ALTHOUGH I GO WITH MY YOUTH GROUP IN THE WINTER!
Is it a Crista camp in Washington?
OMG this is bang on, all the different personalities, only no one was crying on the first day… lol and omg the pink top…. Too many like her… lol love, love the bloopers, well done guys..
0:55 Alex in the back tho-💀
and that Haflinger stole my heart🥺🥺
What about the one who actually knows what their doing and hates human interaction 😳🤣
Me in a nutshell lmao
Me lmao
Hannah was the only one smart enough to say something to that “Bragger” girl lol 6:18
Even though it was meant as entertainment, this gave me some ideas of how, as a new instructor, to potentially handle some of these sorts of situations if they arise.
Omg I am a barrel racer and when she said she had a five second personal record I died😂😂
The best horse I know is a sixteen second lmao
i am also a barrel racer and those things make me die laghing because i know that is not true or possible
Ain't that the truth.
I’ve just taught five weeks of camp and I can relate to this deep down
Alex’s face looks so weird when she a say is it your first day yeah I could tell
Hahahahah I’m gonna tell her that 🤣😂
That "Beginner" parody was me a long time ago. I then decided, watching youtube videos about horses was a better hobby for me.
That’s why they gave me the young horse 😏*checks teeth* yeah he’s like 3 😌
2:47 the way her arms were flapping got me dead on the ground 💀💀💀
0:57 NLT THE HORSE IN THE BACK PHOTO BOMBING LMAO
I was the nervous one, so my instructors fixed that by only putting me on crazy ex-racehorses - you learn to ride real fast when your life is on the line lmao
"Yes I know, This is my second summer" 😂
He’s gonna jump he’s gonna jump!
*horse calmly goes over the pole*
"WOAH, WOAH, WOAH!" We always joked about this when I worked at a summer camp. 😂
Who else has never ridden a horse before in their life, knows absolutely zip about it, but enjoys watching horse videos?
What good horses
They’re so patient with the “campers”
No one.
Absolutely no one.
That person going over the jump 0:52 LOL
It makes me laugh cause I know that all these people actually know how to ride. And the horses are probably thinking, " what the heck are you strange two legged things doing?"
I’ve been watching your videos all day and cracking up! So many memories!
“I’m the boss, do you remember me from last year?” 🤣🤣🤣
I love that Appaloosa horse
I didn’t like appys until I met that one! Sooo beautiful!
I used to have an appy put i had to take him back to the people I got him from
I know! I LOVE Appaloosas. They are so pretty!
@@lyla_eq yea there gorgeous
@@carleematlock2835 defiantly!
The fact that beginners have to say “HELP ME HELP ME PLEASE *try’s to take deep breath*AHHh” even tho they are fine is kinda funny to me❤😂🐴
5:51 is honestly my life. I hate yelling at beginners but sometimes they are just so clueless. Like i'll be cantering and all of a sudden they will cut me off. Never ends well when my mare is fresh! 😂 These videos are so funny by the way!! I love them!!
That's why I always make sure to teach (and reinforce) basic arena etiquette if I ever have more than one rider in the corral at a time. Saves a huge headache, because they learn early on not to cut each other off or pass someone without letting the person know. Wish they'd taught even basic arena etiquette in my college's horsemanship class - would have been a huge help for everyone, and would have saved me from startling every time someone passed me closely without giving any warning.
5:17 Lol I'm a complete beginner that will probably never get to ride due to one of my illnesses, and even I would know that does not go on the butt lol
LOL. This is just like when I was a Girl Scout Camp Counselor with the Horse Unit. It was comical. All the girls wanted to ride a black stallion. 😂😂😂
Sounds logical to me! I'm pretty sure I rode the same horse, but in the ring he was "Morty" and on the trail he was "Tiger" or some other equally spirited name. 😜
Black stallion 😂. Meanwhile I was the kid who wanted to go on the Clydesdales and big draft horses
@@almondmilkxx2259 i am the same i always ask to ride the belgin at my barn
Lol mine always wanted the grey or the palomino, who were kinda nutty, to which my response was to always give them the most boring basic bay lololol. No shade I love bays, they are simple & easy going more often than the paints greys and palominos
That part when you lift his lip and with confidence say, Yes, he's 3."
OMG 😂
😆
I recognized it the second I saw it! Spring Hill is the best!
I got to spend a week there and it was AMAZING!
Love the girl putting the saddle on backwards. Lol
Also the unamused girl, Hanna, totally deadpan, love her.
A sitcom with these characters would be hilarious!! Especially the girl who doesnt even want to be there
"Just ask my great aunt Ruthy!"
"Well give me her number. Call her 🙄"
I would love to do a sitcom!
2:23 that legit voice tone is the sound of every instructor 😭😭
When she was trying to put the bridle in the horse’s mouth, that was so relatable
Haha I struggled with putting the bridle in for so long
@@Fleur-vI maybe the horse hated being bridled with a bit that's mean i hate bits metal doesnt belong in a mouth of a horse okay thats dumb
Your videos always make me laugh I love the parodies 😂😊
“yEah I do barrels, I have a 5 second personal record”
I laughed so hard 🤣
it’s a tradition to come back to this video every month or so
THE IGNORANCE KNOW-IT-ALL IS SO ACCURATE
1:56 like a hunter/jumper schooling ring 😂 iykyk 😂
The part where she said ok I got this she dosent got this because the horse won’t open his mouth oml 😂🤣😭😅😂🤣😆
😂
5 Second personal RECORARD!!! Had me dying
"Nice horsie😖, nice horsie😖" Me getting on my horse when shes in a bad mood🤣🤣
bro wish i could even afford to LOOK at a horse lmao, great acting
This is exactly why all campers start off on a lead line for at least the first day and never bridle. Sometimes they get to saddle and most are independent buy the end of the week.
Ive watched this video 1 million times and each time I can’t help myself from laughing😂 never gets old lol 🤣
The one with the arms flapping got me lol
These horses probably thought you’d all lost your minds making this video 😂
I lost it when someone said they ride eastern LMAO
I laughed out loud, you girls are bang on!!
I'm so sad that I live in Germany! Your camp looks like so much fun, I would absolutely love to stay with you!
Really enjoyed this video. Made me giggle and I needed it. Thank you.
i love the actors and how there trying not to laugh
so much nostaliga watching this. i forgot there is always that one kid who cant stop their horse eating
5:20 seriously got me laughing XD She touched the sheath.....the horse peen
This is my fav video out all of hers and I have watched it about 20 times
Oh my gosh this is so funny!!!! You literally made my entire day!!!!! 😂
Hahahah YAY! Glad you liked it!! Maybe you could be in our next one!
Hahah awww thanks!!! It was a good time making it!
this was honestly painful to watch, but its so strangely accurate
4:19
*me who is actually allergic to horses and have been riding for 3 years*
👁👄👁
I have been riding for 2 and I’m allergic to horses and I have been fine I just sneeze a little
@@maryalbrecht8299 My allergies are either skin reactive or give me headaches that turn to migraines if not medicated in time. My horse allergy gives me headaches. It sucks but not bad enough to make me quit
Your horses are so beautiful!!
the girl in 1:15 is low key me when i first started riding, I could barely lift the saddle yet alone get it over the horse's back. lol 😂
I started riding about a month ago and I'm so excited to learn more about it!
It takes TALENT to look like you ride this bad lol 😂
