How to Ride A Horse And Not Fall Off

- Becky shows you how to ride a horse, first she starts by explaining what the a saddle and bridle does. Then Becky gives you advice on how to not fall off, she talks about common mistakes people make when they're learning how to ride a horse. Then she shows you how to steer the horse, how to make it go, and how to make it stop.
- แนวปฏิบัติและการใช้ชีวิต
Gotta admire her confidence, but sweet as Becky is, she does not look like she really knows what she is talking about. For starters, don't stick your fingers in between the teeth of the horse (mule, and that really is a nice mule). The bit really is too loose, and is actually pulled through the mule's mouth when Becky mounts (REALLY BAD). Then she DROPS THE REIN after she gets on. That mule really is an angel - he just stands there. A beginner rider should not undertake the suggestions in this video but should go to an experienced friend with a quiet horse, or better, take a month's worth of group riding lessons. Don't worry if the saddle fits -- you can't tell -- let someone else do it. Never look at the horse's head while mounted? Poppycock. Just don't drop your chin. To stop a horse that is walking, stiffen your hips so they are no longer following the horse's movement. Anyway, you get the drift. Becky, you are adorable, but this one is a miss.
Couldn't agree more. Sadly people will probably listen.
Becky is very nice but she should stick to her usual videos. And not cause this very patient mule pain
Oh, she's not hurting him, and he looks totally relaxed. In fact, Becky is doing a nice job with him. She is just not ready to be giving riding lessons.
+Charlotte Morgan you don't know what pain looks like if you think loose, happy Charlie is in pain. There are a lot of horses and mules out there and people don't need to be "perfect" to ride them. Any animal can tell when they are treated well and loved and have a happy life.
+Becky's Homestead oh i see who you are now your one of those fat people that believe your doing everything right and you got all your information from a "horse expert" let me tell you if you were taught by a horse expert you wouldnt suck and be hurting your horse YOUR TO FAT for him accept it because yes you are hurting him!
What am i watching ive been riding for 6 years! 😂😂
I've been riding for 8 years!😂😂
same!!! except I've been riding for 4 years
+Riding equestrian C same
+Gracie11 nice!!
Same
I don't know about you but I use my leg to turn
Allison Michelle I do :3
Allison Michelle Yessssssssss
Same
That and weight distribution. Also a responsive horse will respond to looking with intent.
Allison Michelle It just depends with me. 🤷🏻♀️
I agree with the comments ~ the cheek pieces are too loose on the bridle & that is making the bit sit too low in the mouth ~ that is why the horse/ mule is making a licking sound & 'chomping' the bit ~ it is uncomfortable where it sits so s/he is trying to move it up/ back into the correct place in it's mouth with it's tongue. As it tries to move it backwards (by chomping) it will bump any canine, wolf teeth or molars ~ very painful even using an Eggbutt Snaffle (which is what you are using here dear) and even the rubber coated type bits. It will give a sharp pain when it knocks the these teeth which then will make the equine sharply throw it's head and it will become quickly 'head shy'. Over time the equine will refuse the bit. Some equine do not use a bit at all ~ they might do better with a Hackmore etc. All horses are not out of the same mold and do not work the same. It is like saying you can teach someone to drive a car in one lesson. People please go get proper lesson from a professional first. Look at Christopher Reeves ~ RIP his spinal cord injury shortened his life. And he was also an accomplished rider. Even without jumps this is like learning to drive a car without the airbags.
PS Have my British Horsemanship Papers. Also the equine must be properly fitted for the saddle to avoid costly wounds.
I agree but you don't need to leave a comment so long it takes me a year to read it
Not all old horses are good and well trained 😂
My friend's 22 year old horse loves to buck and rear because she is not well trained, but is super sweet on the ground. Yet her 7 year old is very well trained and quiet.
Old horses are actually more stubborn😂
yeah. obviously. hence her saying needs to be "well trained"
ya the horse i ride. is 24. and he has attitude
Brook Franks yes!!! i started on a 15-16 year old and im just going off of a 21 year old horse who is alot harder
1. That is a mule
2. The bit doesn't fit correctly
3. You should really use much rein to steer
1.She said it was a mule and the techniques are the same for a mule as a horse for riding
2.The bits supposed to come out just a bit
3.That horse is trained for only a little bit of rein used for steering and if you use to much of rein for turning it can hurt the horses mouth,I dont like yanking horses heads around all day neither should anyone else.
+Sky Wolf the bit shouldn't be coming out through the mouth half way! There should be 1-2 wrinkles on the corners of the mouth when putting a bit in!
+Ann Riley Cotton I know
Number 1 she knows that's a mule number 2 the bit DOSE fit and number 3 is just stupid.
Wolf crazy lady
Do you even ride, bro?
xD Me and every other equestrians are cringing so bad rn xD
Yes
Yup...
Yup😂
Yes wtff
Ikr
I’m dying!! That chihuahua just following along is adorable. What a cutie ❤️
Guys, if you're looking to learn how to ride, stop watching TH-cam and get yourself down to a riding stables. At the stables they will pair you up with a horse to suit your ability, so if you are a beginner they will give you an easier horse that won't bomb off with you if you kick it a little to hard. And this also gives you physical experince.Don't presume just because the horse is old it is easy to ride! My mare is 28 this year and can be pretty challenging at times... Ridden and not ridden!There is also no gaurentee you will never fall off a horse! It's bound to happen at some point if you stick with horse riding, so don't be scared of that, and enjoy!
Equii.Sarah
She sounds like a lovely lady but it does a annoy me that she's making these 'how to' videos when she's clearly not that well informed and she keeps calling the mule a horse no hate just my opinion tho I don't even know why I'm here cause I've been riding for 11 bloody years haha
Well you ride mules to soo.... Be nice
Ikr I was like “that’s a mule....”
Don't take advice from this channel. She uses root killer in horse hooves after digging a big hole in the hoof in order to treat a hoof crack.
lol and her shoes!
I think she's using "horse" in the same generic way many people say "guys" when they mean guys and gals (or even just gals). I don't think there's any difference in the way you ride them, at least not this one.
Why does she have an english saddle pad when she has a western saddle?
And the second girth is *way* too tight
쇝 Lana Oof ikr
It is a endurance saddle a mix between English and western. You can use any pad but they do make saddle pad for this type of saddle. All her tack even helmet is endurance tack.
태sthetic it’s actually not an English saddle pad and if it was so who cares
Horsegirl9 it is an English saddle pad, it’s just a fitted pad. Like this one 👉 www.doversaddlery.com/medallion-super-quilt-pad/p/X1-19294/ . The reason why it does matter is because English saddles are made to fit the horses back a bit more, you tend to not need as much support under the saddle because of the fit, that’s why English pads are thinner. Western pads typically are thicker because the saddle is rougher on the horses back when not fitted with a thicker pad.
Daw N actually they can be just as thick it depends on which one you get and it’s actually perfectly fine to have it! I’ve ridden my whole life and I’m 13 I know something!
Keep your feet in your stirrup
THERES A THING CALLED NO STIRRUPS (torture xD)
"Horse won't slam on the breaks"
. . .yeah, but. . .reining. . .
Also, if you're a beginner going for a trail ride or your first lesson, don't go around watching these type of videos. For trails you literally need to know next to nothing and for your first lesson there will be a trainer there.
Also, to everyone in the comment section, I know the video is inaccurate and cringe worthy but. . .jeez, get educated before you say anything.
Omg I laughed when she said that😂 I do reining and yelled out bullshit in front of my whole family and they looked at me😂
katya koperski Same. Though I suck at it. . .right now my project can stop really well at the jog, and we just started to lope, but I'll try and stop him with my reins (the aid he knows rn,) at the canter and he'll literally slam on the forehand and his butt will be in the air oml.
+Painting.Strides i struggled with my 2 year old project on stopping on his forehand but I finally got him sitting down.
katya koperski Yeah. You just gotta get them thinking back. If they stop and go back automatically, it makes em' sit and stop with the haunches first. Is that how you did it too?
+Painting.Strides yep👍
I love watching her videos but I'm pretty sure the mule is a little irritated by the bit
totally agree
ya hes constantly adjusting the bit. its probably a D ring snaffle bit. snaffles are made to conflict pain in the mouth.
ya thats a snaffle. Omg the bit ts literally sliding out of the mouth.:(
Thunder Paw It's not a D ring it is an egg but snaffle
That is an egg butt snaffle. They are not made to conflict pain, and are 1:1 ratio bits. A double jointed one, like hers, is very soft.
“And you’re the greeny.” Omfg I can’t stop laughing😂
The Lady: Don’t just plomp on the horse
1.its a mule
2.you plopped on the mule 😪
ItsJulia She said How to Not Fall of a HORSE not a Mule LOL
Be nice guys she teaching beginner's
I really like your horse
ItsJulia I was literally yelling at this lady the whole entire time I watch this video
Ray j, it’s not a horse it’s a donkey or a mule,whatever you want to call it
The bit looks way to low...
+Charlotte Morgan It's not to low. Charlie have a very big stretchy mouth. When standing quite there is one wrinkle.
+tigerlily0190 It is too low. He shouldn't be chewing on it like that. It's clanking on is teeth. It also looks way to wide. I've been taught by multiple trainers that the wrinkle rule is a "general guideline" taught to beginners so they have a reference. Charlie's bit is definitely too low.
+Becky's Homestead Seriously though. It's like asking "how many holes should I tighten my belt?" 5 holes won't work for everyone. Neither does the wrinkle rule for horses.
It is too low. The bit rings are falling down. You can already see it when she puts the bridle on. It's far too loose.
+Becky's Homestead hahaha how to ride a horse, *rides a Mule*
This was awesome! Charlie is so sweet and well behaved. I’ve recently taken up riding and this was a video I watched and I learned to take things slow and go at the “safe” pace. Thanks Becky!
She needs to keep her heels down. If that mule startles she's going to go flying
You are my inspiration! Me and my friends love your videos so much and we learnt how to ride a horse all thanks to you💕
It's been many years since I rode horses, but I know from previous experience that your tips, while they seem simple, are all great ones for a newby. Great job.
Hi sorry but teaching someone to ride by pulling on the mouth is wrong, a good rider ride from the seat and that's so important, ask from the seat and then the mouth never just from the mouth xx
+Hannahloves Hens a first time rider doesn't have any knowledge of that yet. Baby steps, we don't start school in 5 grade, we start in pre K
+Becky's Homestead oh my god your SO STUPID its best to teach GOOD lessons from the beggining
yamaha is daaa best omg calm down
Yes that is true especially don’t yank the mouth sometimes u can pull the reins or pull release and also beginners don’t have that much experience but ya true
She’s taking abt being in a arena , when she isn’t in an area 🤦🏽♀️. She is a very nice lady ( as you can tell ) but she doesn’t know a lot . When she was mounting she was leaning forward and talking smack about another rider who was a beginner and they couldn’t help it .
i remember watching this video for when i first started horseriding!
i have a favourite horse *angel* and at my barn you switch horse every lesson to get to know how to work with different breeds and personalities!
last week i was on angel and i felt a little uneasy and that i was a bit high up because angel is big!
But angel was having a fresh day so both of us were a bit scared
So fast forward about 30 minutes into my lesson we had to canter so i had a nice trot and then sit trot and kicked and angel jolted forward and kept going while i was sitting on her neck because she threw me forward,i have been riding for a year and never once fell off!And i still have not fallen off yet.
I was supposed to canter once more during the lesson but my instructor forgot!!!
I have my next lesson today and i’m a little bit scared and i know i won’t be on her today but i’m just a little frightened
my lesson is in 5 hours and i’m taking some time to look back on videos to refresh my memory and be confident again!
So to any new riders out there,it doesn’t matter how long you have been riding you can still get frightened!But that’s how we learn and grow as a person❤️
I’ll try my very hardest today and hopefully have a better day!
Sometimes we all have off days!
she had the wrong saddle pad
Well, looks like an english saddle pad with a western saddle, but it fits where it counts, so no harm no foul IMO, lol.
true
+Scott Johnson 😂
the saddle shes using is a type of english saddle,look it up! so yes the saddle pad is right
+Sky Wolf stop correcting everyone I've got my own horse and I have a horse not a mule ( you dumbo )
Great video. You touched on all the right points to help a beginner rider. You present a confident approach and confidence is oftentimes the biggest obstacle especially to adult beginners IMO. You are looking very fit - big congrats on that!!
Is that you Michigan? Well said!
+Grand Pa's Farm Thanks but no, not Michigan snow pony but I love her channel too!
Ok thanks.
What are you talking about she does not know what she is talking about
bruv that's a mule
I thoroughly enjoyed this lesson, Miss Becky.
When I was younger I took lessons but all of the different trainers that I had intimidated me to go faster on my first day, or they would spend weeks at the walk after I perfected it. So even though it is probably the worst thing you could do, we built a barn on our land surrounding my house and bought two 3 year old boys and I taught myself and trained them myself and they turned out great! I was able to work at my own pace and it was way better for me!! The only reason I was able to do this is because I have been volunteering at a barn down the round since I was 4 with my mom, I saddled horses for lessons, groomed, fed, turned out, mucked stalls, and knew which horse needed which medication (most were rescues) so I had 12 years of experience and I got my boys 3 years ago.
omfg wtf!!!?? For one she's wrong about the age of the horse. it's not about the age, it's about the temperament and training that horse has/had.
The way she put the tack on it wrong. You're meant to put each individual item on separately and always check your tack.
i can't believe she calls that a bridle. LMAO!!! It's funny, at the 3.09 mark she actually changed her so called bridle over to an actual bridle.
The "horse" as she calls her MULE! is constantly chewing on the bit. that's one of many signs that the bit is ill fitted and is irritating the horse (MULE).
WTF is with the stirrups???? 😂😂😂
I've taught all different age groups and different disabilities to ride and tack up a horse and the way she rides and tacks up the "horse" (her Mule) i would never teach or let anyone ride or tack up like that.
Krystal R-S and its a english saddlepad/numnah with a western saddle
Ozzy and Me. it's a numnah with a endurance saddle not a western saddle.
Krystal R-S your more annoying then becky not everyone rides the same way and you can leave the girth and stuff on. And mules are actually very good creatures. people who have them get attached and forget there not a horse, but you wouldn’t know of course because you obviously don’t have a mule! And that saddle is not western nor English so you wouldn’t know how to tack up with one of those saddles. I’m sure Becky has the same experience as any rider and there’s no reason so share those stupid comments.
Krystal R-S she did such a half ass effort of tacking up
Personally, I might use a full cheek or baucher to help keep the bit just a tad more stable... or thread a simple dropped noseband strap through the bridle loops where the bit is attached, like the Spanish often do. I love how she loves her mule, and is having fun learning and enjoying life :) Life is a journey, we are always students. Thank you for your video!
Love your video. Some horses do not listen as good as your's does when your are beginner rider. The one I ride plays tricks on me and I try and make him walk faster - but he just ignores me - and he can be difficult to turn (sometimes). When the owner/trainer comes - then the horse does what I say. The owner says I am not firm enough. But I love riding anyway(beginner).
There's honestly no use correcting you because there is thousands of things you're doing wrong.
Jumping Crossfires she should have called in you for help as your such an expert!
Agreed. No sense in telling her that also. She keeps making up excuses in certain comments blaming the fact Charlie is a mule, how the saddle was given, her friend trained the mule, etc and refuses to take fault. I never really say this but I hope she gets bucked and clunks her head. Maybe then she'll realize she's being stupid about everything she's said.
😂that's true
Better then you i bet.
*finally finds another equestrian army*
I love your mule, he is sooo handsome
this really helped I'm not a beginner but since I got a new saddle I'm keep on falling off and I have watched this video I went on a ride and I didn't fall off and my ride before I also didn't fall cause of this video I'm gonna subscribe to you😆😆😆
maja doglady pls dont she has no idea what she is doing
Becky was one of the first homesteaders and my family still search for her videos. She told you real advice. She is hysterical too! The Julia Childs of homesteading!!! Still a fav!
Oh how sweet❤️ look at my new baby horse Cortado!! I will be showing videos on how I train him using Meredith Hodges training method. I love her! ☀️❤️☀️
These beginners are going to be very surprised when their horse isn't a mule and it actually has all the right track on
*tack
I am sure i watched this entire video just for staring at this mule............
曹漢達 the mule is soooooooooo cute I want to hung him and kiss him
曹漢達 hug
You are the only person that keeps my attention all the time when they're talking.
I think your voice fluctuations keeps me alert and interested.
Also your information is easy to understand.
Too bad you don't have a children show on a big tv channel ❤
Hahaha I would love to. I love kids and they like me☀️❤️☀️
I'm a 58 year old woman and I just bought my first horse, a 12 year old Arabian x. I have no riding experience. I'm just getting to know horse for now. I'm going to have someone work with her and myself. Although she's broke to ride, she's already reared and litely kicked me once. I love your video's and how you care for your horses. I really think a mule might be better for me.
Riding bitless is easier for you and your horse.
1. Your horse won't try to raise his head when you are putting in a bit. (I know it can be fixed but it's because they don't like it)
2. it doesn't hurt their mouth
3. you don't have to worry about cleaning a bit after your done riding
and there are so much more pros.
I have been riding bitless for years and my horses love it and they listen good.
Dammit now I feel bad for the horses I ride (Now my own)
I completely agree with you! I ride bitless and it works just as good if not better than a bit. I hate when people pull excuses to justify it like 'you could break their nose! You could break their jaw! You could do damage to nerves and cause paralysis!' Those excuses are all just total BS, you have to be pulling pretty dam hard to do that kind of damage
yeah i use a hackamore and the only reason i use a bit is if my trainer says it fits etc.
And this 'horse' seems to be really irritated by the bit...probably because its too big...
My horse is bitless right now and she does NOT respond to the side pull. I have tried her in a bit and she responded so much more better. It all depends on the horse.
"How to ride a horse and not fall of" Hahahahaha
Rose Windross it's not even a horse it's a mule
Right? There is a difference between a ACTUALLY horse and a mule
It's a mule the bit wtf she's stupid honestly
Try my horse and we'll find out.😉🤣🤣
Thank you so much I'm a beginner and his helped me so much💞
I’ve been riding for ages and for some reason I’m watching this
No hate but i think he doesn't like the bit,
of course its a mule
yatokay yyy tell me if any horse or mule or any animal likes a chunk of metal in their mouth
No horse likes bits. Or mule in her case. All a bit is is a chunck of metal that's a torture device
All I have to describe this video is lol
Sad
I wasn't focusing on the riding but more on the cute little puppy following her when she rode the mule.
this actually helped more then i thought it would. thanks
take a few steps to stop, then how do reining horses stop dead the second you ask them to
Training and more training.
Omg I can’t stop laughing🤣😂. That’s a mule not a horse. This makes me cringe
Prim 5656 I love how she made a video all about how not to fall of a mule/horse, and she was dealing with her fanny pack thing she literally dropped her reins and left her horse and his loose bridle to run away
so you really think this woman didn't know that's a mule? smh yall are on crack
Great video, could you please do another one involving saddle trees and how you need more than one saddle depending on weight.
I love your videos and watch every one.
Many thanks, Amanda Cribb UK.
Becky looks sweet and loving to the animals. the white dog following them is so adorable!
don't you now the what a horse is Backus your riding a mule
Becky, Great job. Love this how to video. I have owned 100's of horses and except for the last 2 years I have always owned a horse. Sometimes as many as 50 at a time. (I used to own a riding stable) You did a great job on this video. Thank you.
Carl Brooke - Sailor, Diver, TH-camr and Realtor uh it’s literally the worst informed video ever. Her tack is all wrong, her bit is not fitted, she’s using a English saddle with pad with what appears to be a western saddle. It’s also a mule not horse.
Also to add to what I said, she is wayyy too heavy handed
very positive and enthusiastic, what are the bells for on the saddle, never had a mule, are they dependable after they are trained, do mules like loving and attention? I am from Arkansas, do you recommend a good breeder and ahonest one
Becky, thank you so much for sharing your videos!!! I'm sure I don't have to tell you not to let the mean nasty comments get to you. I wish people would think about the way they express themselves. If they thought you were teaching something wrong then I don't know why they couldn't have expressed themselves in a more polite way. Example- Hi Becky, I noticed in the video that the bit didn't appear to fit properly. Have you ever considered going bit-less? ….Constructive criticism with manners, please people. I just couldn't believe how many judgmental and rude comments people made. It's sad. I really enjoy your videos!! Thanks to you I'm looking to start my own homestead here in Washington. Listening to you tell us about how you got started really inspired me. I'm following some other youtubers as I listen and learn so that I can find MY way "home." We're all different. We have different ideas about the way we think things should be done. Does that mean my way is the right way...it might be right for me but to someone else it might not be the right way for them. Your heart is in the right place. I hope you will keep making these videos so we can all learn from each other and hopefully lift each other up. You're a sweetheart!
Bless your heart Becky! : )
What type of saddle is that? It looks like a combo of English and western. I've never seen one like that before.
+phanic!atthecatwhiskers It's a Columbian saddle CTK
+Becky's Homestead and you SHOULDNT rely on the stirups and reins to stay balanced AWFUL lessons here!! "when your a begginer" ummm... yeah your a begginer to and PLEASE get proper riding lessons! your horse is NOT comfortable with you riding him... because of ummm.... you see horses.... dont like..... a TON... of weight... to carry... so yeah and your bit is WAY to low!!sooo please for your mule learn how to ride correctly!
+BLUE paws too
+BLUE paws you don't know what a happy horse, mule looks like if you think Charlie is not happy. He is fast and super strong and can outdo all the horses I ride with. I love my big boy❤️❤️❤️and he loves me
Charlie looks uncomfortable and his not liking the bit
That doesn't look like a horse to me. Try mule.
the title is charming... perhaps note at the beginning that Charlie is not a horse, and mules kind of have some slightly different rules... love Becky's enthusiasm!
My son just got out of the hospital after a 11 day ICU stay. Fell off a horse, hit his head on a root and was air lifted. He did not have on a helmet and could have had a fa more serious brain injury. the bleed is still being monitored and out patient therapy will be required to get him fully back to his old self. I like your helmet with the brim. It has me thinking perhaps there are more inventive helmet options out there than was available in the 80s.
It looks like his bit is too low in his mouth?
I also think the bit is quite low. At 2:59 the joint is actually coming out the side of his mouth.
+Laura Marr yea I saw the joint of the bit too
And someone had to have been pulling pretty hard on that mule's head to get the bit pulled through like that. Evidence of a tyro.
>the joint is actually coming out the side of his mouth
That actually happened to me while using the same type of bit with a Tenn Walker. So I switched to a French Link Full Cheek Snaffle bit. Problem solved. But now a days, I use a bitless-bosal.
it's too loose not low
i am an equestrian (show jumper) and this made me cringe so bad
S
Sara M Same I don’t show though I’m just getting back into jumping it’s soooooo fun
Horse Crazy oml. Show jumping is a discipline, it doesn’t mean that you show.
Thanks I am going riding today and I am noob so not to good but I think this will help :D
This is so helpful to me thank u I learned a lot from this
Awwww Charlie looks beautiful! 🐴
Don't give them a big kick but... she's wearing spurs?
Aimee Desmond :o i hate spurs >:c
Aimee Desmond ikr
Aimee Desmond you’re not supposed to kick with spurs
Aimee Desmond she was 😡I hate spurs.
Thats not what spurs are for. They're a delicate tool used for very light ques and if the person wearing them has to dig in or kick with them, they're absolutely being misused and should be taken away immediately
I’m going to riding classes because I need a break from my phone I train on a horse named echo she is a Appaloosa horse this video was very very helpful
Can u tell us about what kind of saddle u are using , where u got it, & pad, etc, too. TY!
I like it! I need a treeless of some kind. ...
Why so many hate comments every one makes a mistake in their life and in my opinion Becky did a great job so stop making mean comments every single one of us makes a mistake so be more nicer when you say something.
People aren't trying to be mean, but she shouldn't be knowingly putting out videos of something she clearly knows nothing about. 95% of the things in this video is wrong, and if someone does decide to follow this it could lead to a very unhappy horse, and injured rider, because not every horse has the patience of a saint like the mule in this video.
1: It’s a mule
2: don’t you think Charlie is a big small for you, as an equestrian I feel the saddle and mule are not a good fit for you.
3: Your hat is GOALS
1 she knows 2 charlie is big enough for her
I love horseback riding lesson! Because I love it so cute and be friendly on the nature soothing sounds great!!! ❤️😘
Love riding a mule. They are so much smarter and more sure footed then a horse. Your animals are so lovely.
Hey , Becky I love your videos there very informative and interesting. Just a quick comment have you ever considered riding without a bit ? it's great for the horse and for the rider because your learning to use your balance ,hands , legs and vocal commands , I have been riding bitless for years now and wouldn't have it any other way . My horses and I have had built very strong relationships and my experience has increased and confidence improved between my horses and I . I would be pleased to hear your opinion on the subject thanks and cheers from Down Under 😊
+Kylie Wilson Charlie is very strong and dominant and smart he needs a bit. He gaps he mouth on purpose to let the bit slide through. I have looked down at times and he has his tung through the ring playing with it. He is something else : ) Meredith Hodges advised me to use a flash noseband on him and it is working good.
Just because he is strong, dominant and smart does not mean he needs a bit. It's all about the relationship, understanding each other and training. With the correct training Charlie can ride bitless too.
+Becky's Homestead why don't you do any softening? My horse is very soft and I run her with hack in barrels and she was a strong horse until I worked on softening her up.
+DianSterre true
+Becky's Homestead my horse riding freind uses a bit for her barrel mare cause she's a hot mess. Got to love the animals though. I ride with a hackamore
Please beginners who want to go somewhere with horses, don't listen to her. All I can say is yikes. Everything is yikes. The way she talks is so know-it-all, but what comes out is sooooooo inaccurate. She clearly just bought horses and went with it. Big hint: bit is falling out, and people with real experience keep their tack organized and check it for issues like burrs, but they don't keep everything perfectly clean, and good god, that awful mismatched pink saddle pad and bridle.
Her other videos too. Nobody who trims without experience is looking out for the horse. You can fuck up your horse's feet so bad because tiny changes can knock off the balance of the horse and create major issues with their feet going forward. It's like trying to do surgery without training. Remember: no foot no horse. Do not ever mess with those delicate things.
Don't beat up on becky! I mean she knows what she's talking about. Got a problem with that? Go talk to raleigh
RareEnoughToFind22 you are right I have two horses
And please don't follow her advice and treat hoof cracks with root killer.
Lydia She. doesnt. know. what. she's. talking. about.
5.13 “When you wanna stop the horse pull both reins back gently and say HOE?” OMG 😂😂
I'm English and been rider for 3 years I only started cantering/loping a month a go my instructor was surprised when I told her I never centered and I was one lung and feel of good thing my horse is only 13.3 hh now i can canter on out ring it was cool
+Hillaree Harper Good, way to go. riding is so much fun!!!
Becky you inspire me in so many ways. From making laundry soap, cooking, building a house, being frugal with money. You're just flipping awesome!!! 💖🐴💖 also you look amazing! You really slimmed down.
dear beginners, please listen to your trainer and not a random lady on youtube
I am going to a horse camp this is what I need!
This is a nice overview, we'd hope that any first time rider would have a trainer or knowledgeable friend handy. A few notes about the difference between horses and mules would be great. Also, changed bridles there, aha! Charlie's great.
I can feel the tumor in my brain growing from watching this.
Ella I can feel one from reading this comment
Just imagine how big the tumors are in her horses and mules brains are haha. They have to put up with this uneducated barn witch every day.
This girl has no idea like if you agree
It's going to be my first time riding so this helps alot
Great video! Can you talk abit about your helmet and the ‘ cowboy’ surround that shades your eyes, cost, where to purchase? Thanks
Also is a mule not a horse
A mule is partly a horse
"Thats a big body with momentum" Takes one to know one.
Allona LMAO
🤣🤣🤣
Great lesson!
I have been riding for 5 years and this I hilarious 😂
Loving the fanny pack
Hey no knocking the F pack I sport one on trail every now and again, stores, phone, keys 20 dollars, maybe a snack or two....F stands for fun fanny papack :))))
really bad advice here. not an expert at all.
Did she say she was an expert? Not everyone needs to be an expert at riding. She isn't going for Grand Prix here.
+Hoping For The Day offering advice on how ride a large animal like a horse should require more experience than she has.
Casey Skipper Agreed.
+Casey Skipper yep especially when she is trying to teach a beginner, she's going to teach new riders really bad habits.
+Casey Skipper I have years and years of experience. Charlie's good behavior shows his good training. I'm just not a crazy, control freak that equines hate. Animals like chill, so chill out.
“Keep your feet in the stirrups”
Me being 4’11: I cant reach the stirrups
I loved the way you treated your animals
Try losing a little weight. It will make it easier on your and your equine when you go to get on.
this was just one big cringe compilation..
I love how happy and exercised you are and for your age ur really awesome and playful (no hate)
I have to say your a better trainer then I am. I help my friends how to ride and the first thing I tell them is your kinda scared the horse is kinda scared just have confidence and then the horse with have confidence. And always be patient with a young or older horse. But the number one thing I hate is when they say they can ride then when you let them on your horse they try to ride then they fall off when the horse walks
Yes!!! Please do more horse videos!!!!
this woman is teaching me how to sit on a horse when I learned this 6 years ago oml
You are such a good rider don't listen to haters please cause haters are just hate! By the way I looove this video I watched it like 5 times! Your the best have a great day!
Becky I've taken riding lessons for a while now and here's what I have to say:
1. That bit kind of looks like it doesn't fit
2. Ur right that u shouldn't kick a horse to make it walk, though depends on how hard u squeeze.
3. The best advice for people who want to ride is to just go take riding lessons
