I love it when people who own dressage horses are open to jumping. I love how you change what you do because I agree; dressage is repetitive. That's why I enjoy jumping more than dressage but I am much better at dressage. I hope that Gee has more confidence if you ever try it again. It was lovely to see!
@@nien_jansen we do... When I'm at my manege; there is ALWAYS a kpop song stuck in my head... I once was singing Taemin's Criminal in my head while riding...
One of the most motivated jumpers I've ever ridden was a dressage horse who literally snapped the pole on two on his first jump. He never got to be the best jumper as his owner didn't like show jumping and from the outside he looked horrible, but when you got on him and FELT how much he wanted to do it you just knew that that horse had some real potential. Sometimes there are a lot of things you can't know about a horse until you're on them. I wish I could ride that horse again
I have a Horse to always after my mom rather gets off she said something because she knocked over the jump and she said he is an idiot she needs to pick up his feet
i love how your always thinking about if he’s getting stressed or he’s not enjoying what your doing and you always listen to him and not push him too much. you too just have a really lovely bond and it’s amazing 💗
I hate that you have to explain yourself to these haters. Gosh people are so mean! Your amazing and I hope you know that. I can’t wait to see more of Gee! -Tess
@@theerinwilliams the first day of me trying show jumping...... My elder brother played with me and gave me a first time horse..... I walked a bit then i took a little run and suddenly stopped at obstacle....... I fell in front😁😁
He's smart and brave! ❤He figured out how to move his body pretty quickly and wasn't scared of doing something new. Bravo to you for looking out for your horse's health, both mentally and physically. You really know you horse well.
Awww I love how supportive you are of him. I know that some people expect SO much from their dressage horses when jumping. I’m so glad that you really care about what is best for him and that even if he spooked at it you didn’t get up him. Such a good rider and horse xx
I love how you didn’t go straight into the jumping, and instead just started with trot poles! Your an awesome rider, Erin and a big inspiration for me!❤
He so so beautiful!! As a show jumper myself I thought he was doing great as his first time. I would just make sure to give your reins a little over the jump so you don’t hang in his mouth and he can use him self properly over the jump! But besides that y’all looked great!
@@theerinwilliams this was my take on this too. I would have approached this from the ground first so he gets some free jumping in. That way he learns to have fun and express himself. Then once ridden you do need to allow him his head and neck to stretch in jumping otherwise he’s going to resent it. If he decides to buck and muck about after that’s normally exuberance but your riding skill can sit that. Be prepared to give him his head.
He is like 'I'm a dressage horse, bruh what are you trying to achieve here?!' haha I'm a big fan of using cavalletti and small jumps for changing up dressage training a bit
I think you both have done so well. We all know how horses can be with any change. He seems so genuine and has trust in you. Never feel like you have to justify but I know it's hard when everyone can give an opinion. But it's fun to watch so keep up the great work xx
You are such an amazing rider don’t let anyone tell you different! You have an amazing bond with that horse, and you are an amazing rider! Your an inspiration
Gee was so cute when he popped over the cross rail his jump is definitely cute and funny, and will you do another jumping Gee video?🥺🥺💖💖🐴🖤 P.S. love you vids so much
good for you ... no one needs to 'judge' this ... you are giving him added experience and some fun, I had a jumper that I taught dressage, I used long reins and walked behind him ... hacking, up down hills etc etc... they have to have a variety of experiences to enjoy life...... this is so good for him and it takes time to get them comfortable with new things ... I love this video and I love to see the LOVE you have for your horses ..you are living my dream!!!
your seat in the canter in amazing!!! your horse is very good with the poles. I used to ride a horse that had never jumped and i was trying to go over the pole and she just stoped and stared at the pole. LOL!!!
I do think he enjoyed it, he just appeared to be confused and we always are when we try something new aren't we! I can't wait to see the next videos of the legend jumping
I love watching his baby brain trying to figure out the jump. He is otherwise very confident in his movements but he's just not sure about that jump! So cute! Gotta credit him for trying.
If people come at you they are ridiculous. You can comfortably jump like 2ft in a dressage saddle no problem! I do tiny cross rails almost every ride to give my mare variety!
its fine with the smaller jumps, however its a lot easier for the rider, coming from experience when my mare decided that she would fly over the trotting poles as if it were at least 2ft...
i love how you explained that the horse needs something to do something else and not just do dressage or flat work all the time, because i do dressage with my horse and he always gets super bored just doing dressage all the time. so i like to know that my horse isn’t the only one who’s like that! love your content
@@theerinwilliams Exactly! I've always been of the opinion that cross discipline training is incredibly important. Not only does it keep the horse engaged, but they learn something in another activity that will help them with their main training. Barrel horses focus on tight turns; that would be a great help to a focused jumper. Pole bending would be a great tool to help with flying lead changes and stride length. And dressage provides all of them with flexibility. :)
never seen a video of her but I feel like she and her horse have an amazing bond like besties and she seems so nice, the horse seems to be happy too which is very nice to see
I completely agree with what you said regarding doing different things. Dressage horses can benefit from some jumping work, and jumpers can benefit from dressage work. Not only is it something new and different, but doing one will give you and the horse tools that they can bring back to the other.
It’s so nice that I can’t tell and I’m sure many other people can to that your horse is so happy with you and he listens to you in a way where he isn’t scared to not to something he wants to do it for you because he adores you so much!!
He looks very good - he keeps his collection after the jump which really helps with using his back and neck correctly. I think he jumps "weird" because he is used to a collected canter in frame (which is amazing and very hard to achieve!) instead of a more forward canter with a "flatter" neck seen when jumpers jump
Gee is certainly a handsome horse. What does come across is how much you love & care for your horses' wellbeing. Changing it up for them must alleviate a degree of 'boredom' thru repetition. Your focus is on them living their best lives as horses - very commendable. It also makes for interesting videos.
I totally understand hitting new milestones every day I have been trying to get the flying lead change in my boy and it is very hard but such a good feeling when I get it
I love the way you talk about your horse and how you ride him. You are so gently, and stretching are so important, I love it that you let your horse do. Because, in dressage and showjumping, I see horses with a broken neck and they are not enjoying at all. But you really care about your awesome horse!
He did great, but if you wanna do the jumping again maybe try to get more out of your saddle and stay out of you saddle for a step after the jump. and also put your hands forward and keep them more forward for as long as you stay out of the saddle. That should help him arch his back and make he want to jump it.
It’s a dressage saddle with large knee rolls on the front. She has a very gentle seat, and he’s never jumped in his life so for a first attempt this is really damn good. I think she knows what she’s doing😅
This was cool to watch and can’t wait to see more. I wouldn’t worry about using a dressage saddle :) ( i used to lease and the only saddle that was fitted was a jump saddle so I did everything in the jump saddle, including dressage moves )
People say:” you shouldn’t let a dressage horse jump like that”, but it is actually a good training part for dressage horses too. And second, look how happy and exited the horse looks! Leave her alone.
I ride, and only use a dressage saddle if you only have a dressage saddle or horse is used to it and the horse does dressage not jumping not coming for Erin just for other riders out there making sure ppl are safe😌
You are living half of my dream life… like ughhh having my own barn and own sweet, handsome horses!!!😍😭 Je lève mon chapeau for the fact you have your own business’s on the side too, I can’t imagine how busy you must be and to make time for everything you do, props to you! P.s. you are so beautiful😍 You and gee look so good together🥹🥹
I am so jealous! You have an absolutely phenomenal horse and I can tell he is so so happy. I would kill to have a horse like him, who is so happy and willing and wanting to please. And anyone who judges a horse, let alone a dressage horse, by their first jumping experience is an idiot, he did great!
Omg i got so exited when your new video pops up on my notifications! I love you so much and i really liked this video!🐎💕 I hope theres gonna be more barn vlogs in the future!💕💕💕😊💝 i love youu
So hard to believe he is a stallion !!! He’s just amazing....but you’re a gorgeous wee rider too Erin !! You certainly know what you are doing ! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👌🏻👍🏻💕 PS Do you think you will compete G at dressage at any stage ?
It's easy to forget how dressage horses are gymnast and powerful!!!! He is not familiar on how to distribute his weight and power over obstacles. He did wonderful for first time considering his strength! Amazing ride!
Have you considered having him free jump? It might be easier for him to figure out how to get his legs right if you have him do it without a rider. He seems like a real sweetie :)
What a handsome boy! I have a thoroughbred named Banks and he is a cheeky boy and very stubborn and difficult. I think that just runs in our family my aunt has a extremely aggressive thoroughbred horse named Dolly and when I was first learning how to ride I was paired with a very difficult palomino tinker named Vennie. Either way I like to jump my big boy and lunge him,etc. He isn’t the most comfortable or experienced in jumping especially since he is a young retired race horse. So from equestrian to equestrian do you have any tips? ☺️😄
my horse is more of a race horse and trick riding horse we haven’t really done jumping much we only started around 3 weeks ago and he loved it already! kept is confidence and kept me safe, we went over a jump and I slid off his saddle but he moved over to the other side and it lifted me back on when we where in the air. he hurt is leg when done that but he was happy I didn’t get hurt ❤️
No way my horse does the exact same cough/sneeze fart thing at the beginning of a ride too!!! 👀 Thought it was a unique thing... It's definitely an annoyance and trying to sit it without slack reins is haaaard
@@kaciew.6202 I don't think you understand correctly 😂 you are supposed to hold the reins as if you are holding a small animal, enough so it won't escape but not tightly so it would be squished, but if your horse starts to cough and lurches his head to the ground and you are holding onto the reins even slightly, you get flung forward 😊 I actually have the opposite issue of not holding my reins enough and I actually ensure my horses have the most incredible time and experience in their lives and are loved more than anything in the world 🙃
@@whaleison5045 I know, I’ve trained with world class trainers. But I’ve also seen far too many riders depending on the reins for balance, especially in dressage, when it’s hard to sit deeply in a sitting trot and they hold the reins. In this video, she is much too tight for jumping, hence the hollow back and high neck. Even a first time horse will jump better than that if given enough rein.
@@kaciew.6202 Oh good lord 🙃 you should really save these comments for the actual abuse of animals and abusive riding, there is nothing wrong with having a few flaws in your riding... I'm sure you don't ride perfectly and if you do, good for you! But other people are trying their best, she even says so multiple times in the video 👀
She's showing good things : sh'es gentle and patient. Her approach to the poles is good. I love seeing a flying change that smooth, no tail whipping. It's sad there is some bad points I could noticed. He has his head behind the vertical most of the time, and he's got a noseband, really I don't understand why people use them, all her horses have them. I also think she has her stirrups too long because when she use her heels they go up. I feel like her feets move too much for wearing spurs. Otherwise her position and attitude is good, she could have get up during the jump to free his back and help him more. I also noticed he often have his tail to the left, does anyone now if he's seing an osteopath ? I love seeing horses try new disciplines, it's good for their mental and their build, and he did really well. Erin has a amazing accent for non-english natives to understand. I also appreciate a lot her going to a walk after work, a lot of people rush the recovery after the effort. I'm sorry if I made some confusing sentences since I'm not a native english speaker and I'm still learning the equestrian vocabulary. I'd love a constructive conversation or debate about all what I said.
I love it when people who own dressage horses are open to jumping. I love how you change what you do because I agree; dressage is repetitive. That's why I enjoy jumping more than dressage but I am much better at dressage. I hope that Gee has more confidence if you ever try it again. It was lovely to see!

@@kaciew.6202 I don't think you understand correctly 😂 you are supposed to hold the reins as if you are holding a small animal, enough so it won't escape but not tightly so it would be squished, but if your horse starts to cough and lurches his head to the ground and you are holding onto the reins even slightly, you get flung forward 😊 I actually have the opposite issue of not holding my reins enough and I actually ensure my horses have the most incredible time and experience in their lives and are loved more than anything in the world 🙃
@@whaleison5045 I know, I’ve trained with world class trainers. But I’ve also seen far too many riders depending on the reins for balance, especially in dressage, when it’s hard to sit deeply in a sitting trot and they hold the reins. In this video, she is much too tight for jumping, hence the hollow back and high neck. Even a first time horse will jump better than that if given enough rein.
@@kaciew.6202 Oh good lord 🙃 you should really save these comments for the actual abuse of animals and abusive riding, there is nothing wrong with having a few flaws in your riding... I'm sure you don't ride perfectly and if you do, good for you! But other people are trying their best, she even says so multiple times in the video 👀
I love how Gee arches his neck at the trot. You can tell he’s a dressage horse. I also live his trot it looks like so much fun
I love dressage my cousins does it but I personally do western showing and hunter under saddle with quarter horses
His upward movement is to DIE for
oohhh, love the video, he's such a beautiful horse. What is Gee's breed?
@EquestriaX ooohh thank youu
She's showing good things : sh'es gentle and patient. Her approach to the poles is good. I love seeing a flying change that smooth, no tail whipping. It's sad there is some bad points I could noticed. He has his head behind the vertical most of the time, and he's got a noseband, really I don't understand why people use them, all her horses have them. I also think she has her stirrups too long because when she use her heels they go up. I feel like her feets move too much for wearing spurs. Otherwise her position and attitude is good, she could have get up during the jump to free his back and help him more. I also noticed he often have his tail to the left, does anyone now if he's seing an osteopath ?
I love seeing horses try new disciplines, it's good for their mental and their build, and he did really well. Erin has a amazing accent for non-english natives to understand. I also appreciate a lot her going to a walk after work, a lot of people rush the recovery after the effort.
I'm sorry if I made some confusing sentences since I'm not a native english speaker and I'm still learning the equestrian vocabulary. I'd love a constructive conversation or debate about all what I said.
