I have never in my entire life seen someone sit so solid and not leave the saddle once, with a horse throwing shapes like that! I need lessons in how to become super glued to the saddle no matter what 😂
Ride bareback with one rain. The problem I see with so many English writers is that they are bracing themselves through the rains. They have no real balance at all. And they get dumped real fast.
Growing up, I was told that the horses who are the best jumpers have the biggest bucks! As everyone is saying, excellent seat... Very impressive! Wishing you and Donald the best!
Wow, incredible riding! The horse looked as though he had springs for legs! He still looked graceful as he let off steam, and his ears were pricked and interested. Even with my limited knowledge I know horses in pain or discomfort do not respond like this!
I agree!! Great horsemanship. Beautiful seat on that horse despite all his antics. He stays calm, does not lose his temper and just keeps the horse moving forward. Well done!
i have to say I'm impressed with the composition and stickability! Especially when he went sideways and then did those two huge rears. You could tell from his body language that he was letting of huge amounts of "go" and probably frustration at all the changes. This may not be something a traditional british rider would immediately reach for but natural horsemanship/groundwork could have also resolved that (Steve Young springs to mind - has a channel here too. I've never seen such expertise and compassion combined. He brings horses back from the absolute brink in a matter of hours) But it seems like you found your own way and if you can sit out those bucks then I guess it worked! Well done with your combined achievements. A beautiful looking horse.
He might be objecting to the draw reins and being held into a tight frame before he has warmed up and stretched enough. He Is being ridden somewhat behind the bit and it is a cooler day.
I think you should get on and give it a go, heck he would probably never buck if he was ridden bareback and bridleless! Go on and show us how it’s done! 😂
@@Bluemoonfarm17I would get him back into training by starting with lots of regular groundwork. Then I'd add quiet hacking with a sensible companion before riding in the school where I would start on a long rein in a relaxed walk. It's clear this horse has been pushed too fast into resuming normal work. It needs to go back to basics and introduced slowly back into work and done properly, no reason he couldn't go bareback and bridleless.
@@sarahwagland1559 I agree with all you said here. However, apparently the rider was pushing this horse to return to work so quickly because he says in the description under the video that he hopes to compete with this horse in the Paris Olympics, so he was in a hurry to rush back into training when the horse's injury healed. I agree with your approach, Sarah.
Want a really good seat ride Bareback alot. I rode bareback alot of basically nothing can make me fall out the saddle. I stay glued to the saddle. Even when my horse was doing little rears and Napping and running forward i never moved and that was bareback
Regardless of reasons from horse perspective... as going to trust such a rider knows their horse well enough to know. That's an amazing seat. Wow! Maybe when I was 18 years old many many moons ago I could stay on such moves... glued to saddle with balance & still reins. -- I miss being able to ride, but have put up my saddle & keep feet on the ground. Takes strength & balance & skills that I no longer possess. Very nice Mr. Scala.
Excitement, or just another horse sick of having its mouth constantly yanked on. Anyone with eyes and a shred of intelligence can see the obvious. But the equestrian community will say "Look how happy that horse is, he's saying , more please, pull harder, force my chin on to my chest, I love it". I used to think farmers and hunters were the cruest people on the planet, but watching many equestrians, I think they take that prize
did he do any groundwork with the horse before saddling the horse? Is it a good idea to directly go back to saddle with this bucking horse before doing sufficient ground work?
So many horses are abused, treated inhumanely, and taken advantage of. It is sickening. This horse is CLEARLY uncomfortable/in pain. Why the f**k do so many riders weigh their horses down with strangling, super constricting, and painful reins/bits? I really feel for these amazing animals...by far the most abused of all the animals in the world! 💔💔
............okay but did you lunge it.. or was it not allowed to be lunged? im asking the comments because im dumb lol not to judge you. nice seat btw DANG I couldve used a seat like that a few times XD
And I would like to see how good he does on Virgil, or The Black Tie………horses that are born to buck! 😊 Personally, I would say this horse is just doing a little crow hop!
Metal in the horses mouth, flash nose band to prevent horse from avoiding pain from metal in the mouth, draw reins to keep horse from pulling his head up and to prevent him pulling the reins from the riders hand-oh, but he pat the horse on the neck at the end of the video so that must mean he loves it! The equestrian community is such a joke.
This horse is not bucking because he wants to get the rider off. He's bucking because he just feels really good after not being able to do anything for a really long time
Why allow them to do this crap? This is a genuine question… Someone could get seriously hurt from this, and it’s easily corrected! You did an amazing job sitting it though, looks very difficult.
REALLY hope the horse was allowed to be turned out after 18 mos of box rest. Going straight from stall to saddle would be cruel and unusual punishment!
Only complaint I have is all the crap in the arena. Once it was obvious the horse was a bit worked up, the rider should have stopped and removed anything that could hurt the horse or himself if either fell.
Assuming you know what you’re talking about, what would you suggest for a highly stung athlete with major ligament damage? Anything except very careful and limited exercise would result in further damage and therefore lifelong lameness. Thankfully this horse returned to top level competition making the Olympic squad long list and is aiming for his first 5* at the end of the year. And no, he doesn’t crib, he just loves cuddles. 😊👍
@fsequine1 I encourage you to look up painted desert ranch on TH-cam, go to their Playlist called Czar and watch the videos of his injury and recovery. He was never locked away in a stall experiencing solitary confinement and he maintained his ability to actually be a horse during/despite his injury. It's not good to keep horses indoors in a BOX for 16 months is all I'm saying. Being locked away changes humans why the f wouldn't it change animals too
It sounds like your imagining box rest to be some sort of solitary confinement, your mistaken. Box rest consists of the horse resting to avoid further injury, this doesn’t mean he is locked in a stable for the duration. Horses on box rest are given as much time out of the stable as possible by way of hand walking and hand grazing. It’s a painstaking and often dangerous task as often competition horses are explosive when not in full training. I’m sure you would be surprised if you spent some time on a yard the amount of care that goes into the horses. Rather than trying to save the world one shitty TH-cam comment at a time, perhaps you should get off the sofa and go volunteer in a professional environment so you learn a few things. If you want an opinion it might be worth at least knowing what terms like “Box rest” mean before wrongly assuming.
I don't ... want to go back to work...god dammit human! I'm going to talk to my lawyer...I demand snacks!!! What audacity!!! I imagine it with a British accent
Because he hasn't worked in a while? And he's acting like this in the ring, he needs a refresher on what his job is before he can do something like a trail ride
This horse does not look happy at all. He is resisting something, whether it’s the bit or the saddle, or maybe he’s not ready to be ridden yet. Did you go straight to this from “box rest”? Has he had any turnout time? I’m not an expert, but I’d definitely say he is being pushed too hard, too quickly.
As long as people think that this is GREAT rinding and horsemanship, then the horseworld has a problem! This is cruel, unfair, abuse and stupid....Wake up Horseworld!
He was on box rest to limit movement because of an injury He's being brought back into work(other comment from poster says this was first trot work after 4 months of walk) He's gonna be excited, he's gonna have energy built up And its safer for him to be ridden(so theres more control of the gaits) instead of let loose in a field where he'll just go bonkers and cause more damage to said injury, resetting the healing process. Horses dont understand what we mean by "you cant do that yet" Like, A young horse(when they're still developing) isnt allowed to jump as the bones arent complete yet. Though, they still will if given the chance (jumping a fallen branch, the field fence, a hole..)
The horse looks very uncomfortable…asked to be totally restricted in the neck, transferring the discomfort thru to the back, after no work for 18 mths…I’d behave like that too.
Boy, this rider does everything right: stays deep in the saddle and moves hands forward. Impressive!
I have never in my entire life seen someone sit so solid and not leave the saddle once, with a horse throwing shapes like that! I need lessons in how to become super glued to the saddle no matter what 😂
He has natural relaxed balance. Kind of Zen.

Wow.... beautiful horse and a very talented and calm rider obviously with superglue at the saddle ;)
Great job!
A very secure seat and calm nature on display!
Beautiful horse! Amazing rider! Thanks for sharing.
He’s obviously feeling well!
What an expressive and joyful horse. And well sat by the way.
I love this ride .. this horse is so happy to be out and the rider is perfect . 💕
Wonderful to see such a level of horesemanship
BEAUTIFULLY RIDDEN MATE!!!!!
I think you handled that amazingly! Eventers seem to always have the best stickability
That rider is amazing. Wow...
Thank you
Nearly perfect riding and what beauty of a horse

How about you go show them how it's done?
How immature you are.
Rider needs to remove draw reins. Horse is feeling claustrophobic. Needs long and low warm up with relaxation.
Your seat is brilliant! 🔥 Maybe the saddle to much forward.
Wow!! What an amazing rider! Well sat!
Awesome rider but how do you get the horse to stop doing this?! I hate it when my OTTB does this because I'd like to be able put beginners on him.

You make it sound like all horse riding is abusive and all riders are abusive to their horse/horses

@@funshine817 This horse is definitely not in pain. Did you not read the title?

Good rider👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Yeah!
Thank you

I have been using draw reins I took them off today and got bucked off😳
That seat 😮💨👌
This is why I recommend giving your horses a large lunge before your ride if they’ve been on box rest for a while.
Well, on the lunge they can do much worse, risking re-injury maybe
Came here to say this
@@kidamaroo I wasn’t trying to hate, just giving a suggestion.
@@happyhorses54 so was I.
Yee-haw!!! Well sat!
This horse is playing and having a good time, and the rider is doing an excellent job keeping his seat.
Whoa!
They kept the horse in a box for 18 months?
Yes because the horse was sick or lame
Spicy horse ❤ (my horse is that spicy that my friend who is a very good rider refuses to ride him) 😢
This looks like saddle pain being a saddle fitter my selft
Interesting outlook. Something to follow up on, for sure.
well. He certainly healed up nicely. lol
Woohoo!...ride'm cowboy😅
Yes-Haw!
Holy crap! Horse knows he has the upper hand. Keep at it or call Steve Young.
Flippin heck....well sat
Well ridden
Wonder if his antics stopped or is he/she always like that
Read the title.

He was not pulling at all. And those were for safety. The horse had been in a stall for 18 months. What do you expect?
LOl Working the corners off to get that top level event horse, lol....sometimes....
0:24 man the horse was in pain😢but the rider did not panic and has great balance🎉[I edited it to put the celebration emoji😊]
It's fresh not in pain your mental
Wow
Look at his gear and how the horses head is

This is a genuine question… Someone could get seriously hurt from this, and it’s easily corrected! You did an amazing job sitting it though, looks very difficult.
He’s being ridden to try and avoid any injury as this was the safest way of keeping his work limited.
@@fsequine1 makes sense… Though if something happened ?
REALLY hope the horse was allowed to be turned out after 18 mos of box rest. Going straight from stall to saddle would be cruel and unusual punishment!
Being ridden was the safest option to avoid injury while rehabbing him, as you can see he’s explosive.
Looks like he wants some damn free time in a pasture instead of nonstop confinement by walls or reins.
Read the description please Rhonda 👍
Why the need for the draw reigns
To try and quickly and quietly stay in control to avoid the horse getting carried away and ruining his rehab. 👍
Only complaint I have is all the crap in the arena. Once it was obvious the horse was a bit worked up, the rider should have stopped and removed anything that could hurt the horse or himself if either fell.
Wow 18 months in a stall. How loving and kind of you. Great horse ownership. Bet the cribbing this horse does is off the charts

Why not just that horse out for a good long run and trail ride? Let him be a little free, then go bsck to "work."
The horse is not fit at all and would most likely buck the rider off and run away. Also there would be a risk of re-injury.
Because he hasn't worked in a while? And he's acting like this in the ring, he needs a refresher on what his job is before he can do something like a trail ride

How--? Please explain the logic here.
He was on box rest to limit movement because of an injury
