Hi. May ask how long you have been riding? Also have you ever had your saddle fitted? Im a veteran in the horse industry. If you like some help i would gladly help out. Just ask. Good job. Good video.
Hi there! I have been riding for 4 years now and since this horse is not mine I just work him it’s up to the owners to do that I can only ask so much of them right now since I’m still building a relationship with them but since he is not mine I personally don’t want to spend money on him but I have currently been looking into buying him a saddle that fits him I am just waiting financially since I’m only 15 and I pay for everything thing I own (horse wise) so I will hopefully get him a fitted saddle by the end of this year! Thank you so much for your concern!
@@A_HorseGirl_In_the_world That is wonderful. You are taking the right steps. Working on a good relationship with all concern. You sit a saddle well. May you allow me to make a suggest to improve you equitation? It may improve the horse's way of movement and silliness.
@@margaretporkolab7166 yes please! I’m always open to tips!
@@A_HorseGirl_In_the_world here goes. When riding change your foot positions in the stirrups. Put the ball of your foot the one behind the big toe and 2 and 3 the baby toe will be on the edge of your stirrups. Turn your toes in towards the body of the horse. Secondly put your heel down. Adjust your leg to feel comfortable. Stand straight up and set straight down. Should back and square with your body. Elbow closet to the sides. Loose reins if possible we will work on that later. Now back to your feet it will take awhile to get that position mastered. This horse seems to be intelligent enough to move forward with a calf of your leg. We are retraining you memory muscles. When running games you do better with equitation posture. Balance and rhythm is important. When you practice start from the walk. He knows how to run. You want to teach him the course/pattern. You walk beside him throught the pattern. Put different items on the props. This teaches them they will not get hurt. They need to trust you and you full heartily trust them. After the training go for a quiet ride. Preferably not in the show ring or lesson ring. Those places are for work only. Outside it for pleasure. Do this everytime you can. Then I will move you on. The owner of the horse maybe impress as well. At the end of the show season you will be on your way. Remember this little horse needs to respond without harsh aids. Teach by voice. All my games and pleasure jumpers knew the words and voice. And this is what you want. Also teach him to ground ty. That is another lesson in it self. But easy. It taught when you are grooming or tacking up. Even just standing talking with other riders or people. Voice and words. Use the same words all the time. And leave the speed for the show day. If you have question about something you are doing and not sure just ask. PS there is lots you and your horse have to improve on but be patient. Also remember every instructor rider and owner teaches differently. Every person and horse does too. So grasp everything that is told to you. Knowledge what makes riders. Especially when it comes to training. What may work with this horse or person may not with another. Keep a journal everything you do with the horses that you work with and yourself as well.
@@margaretporkolab7166 thank you! My trainer is currently working on my muscle memory! And I do use voice commands for everything ground wise and he knows voice commands in the saddle too! We are working on not using voice commands cause he finds it easier and it helps when we are around other horses I accidentally made other horses go faster due to my voice commands in the warm up (there are no videos of it in this video) so I try and teach him to be less voice commanded in saddle to help others and him.. he currently is super sensitive to leg commands to the point I don’t kick him only when I ask for a gallop and I cant use my inside (or outside leg) to move or bend him so we are currently working on his sensitivity :)
I know everyone’s hating on you but honestly, you did such a good job on him and the way you handled the fall was amazing. It might’ve not been like the best position, but honestly, no one is at certain times and no one is ever perfect so I don’t know why people are hating on you❤
Thank you I was at the moment teaching myself but now I’m back under training thank you for being understanding ❤️❤️
You handle him and the bucks so well x it’s not always easy riding under pressure like this especially when they’re excited 😂
Thank you 🤣 I’m lucky cause he’s in a confused and excited state of mind and not freaking out
I think u stayed because ur feet are perfectly in u are holding ur reins nicely so that my answer
I did stay! Good observation too you definitely have a good eye!
I’m sorry that that happened, hope you gain back your confidence and feel like galloping again! ❤ what happened though? I couldn’t really tell, I apologize…
I definitely got my confidence again don’t worry! And what happened was one back in this video I didn’t have the best balance and not a good half-seat form from what you can tell 😅 and he also dropped his right shoulder due to a muscle problem and all of that together just didn’t tie in well (ps. I’m known for falling at every new speed and so I was prepared for it to happen)
@@A_HorseGirl_In_the_world ohhh okay! Glad you’re alright.
Go
Nope! I stayed!
i feel like older horses are more behaved, i want a horse thats a little older than 10 but less 17
They really are! I got him age estimated by a friend and he turns to be 10-15 years old!
go
I stayed! 🤣
Stay?
Yep!
Stay??
Correct!
I'm sorry that some questions can be worded in a rude way.but I just want to ask a phew questions :)I 1)What's his /her name? 2)how old are e they?:D 3)what's your name?❤ Now a bit more lol sorry Why are therefore roaming around?just curious👁👄👁 Are your reins high or is it just me?👀 I'm sorry if these sound rude but I'm trying my best to word them kindly .
You’re all good! I’m Lailah (keep in mind this is an older video of mine) The horses name is Titan and he is 4 going onto 5 this year and the horses that are roaming around is because it is the arena/ pasture but they are well behaved and my reins are not high my camera is on my chest so it is lower then being on my head 🤣 and don’t worry your not the first to ask I have had people come at me for it when they forget angles exist 😅 thank you for being nice about the questions!!!
Your a very skilled rider!! People may disagree but to every question you have a good answer which shows you not what your doing!! Titan is such a good boy (when he’s listening) you have eatned a new subscriber!!
Thank you so much <3
@@A_HorseGirl_In_the_world your welcome!!
omg that one black mare or gelding is super skinny
Yeah that’s black Jack he had stomach ulcers I don’t know if he still has it but some day when he is all safe to ride we will put the muscle back on him and he will be filled out :)
@@A_HorseGirl_In_the_world get some probios and 1 scoop every feeding and it'll help so much! ive got a little mare and she gets them bad when i dont have her on probios
I loveee keyhole sm! My pony likes to go quite fast when we do it. our fastest time is like 6 or seven seconds in a small area , definitely gives be a heart attack turning around so fast 😭
There are definitely times when horse just have to give you that little scare 🤣
@@A_HorseGirl_In_the_world yeah😅
Good job! the only show I've done was a home show at my lessons 😭 and it's was really simple but you did good!
Thank you! I will say me and my mom did a practice run like a show but it was just myself beating myself 💀
@@A_HorseGirl_In_the_world Oop rip 😭
Gosh I remember when I fell off a tall AQH (American quarter horse) All that matters is that you and the horse are okay that horse was really good if he stayed close to where you fell I also learned idk if it's just a English riding this (I ride horses English) But if you sit your trot and bounce in the saddle it causes them to think "Oh go faster?!" and they'll canter and then it just becomes chaos but you did good and have a good day!
Yeah I get ya there 😂 Bentley (the horse in this video) he had not been ridden in a year and that was only my 7 ride on him in pretty sure I also didn’t even know how to gallop so it was the blind leading the blind 😂
@@A_HorseGirl_In_the_world Ohh lol 😂 I'd recommend if your doing a ride on a horse that hasn't been ridden in a long time / while just do some simple walk trot and some canter and just go on from there once the horse gets better and cantering and you have more control, bond, and trust you can move on to do higher skill things like galloping but it's neither of your guys faults that you fell just a part of being an equestrian lol
@@KaylaXEquineYT yeah we finally both got better if you need proof it’s in the newer videos 😂 I can now neck rein him at every speed and all we really have left is perfecting canter cues and then building his left lead muscle up and then perfecting his barrels, Texas barrels, poles, speed barrel, keyhole, and hopefully flag race at some point 🤞
@@A_HorseGirl_In_the_world ah that's good! glad to see you and Bentley have gotten better I'm an English rider so I don't understand western riding much lol but I know enough about western to give tips lol
@@KaylaXEquineYT 😂 don’t worry I do both so I understand when someone tries to explain it but only in English ridding terms lol
This was really helpful thanks!! 🙏
Your welcome 🫶
I have rode Western for 6 years until I started English but in Western I was too young to understand how to do things, but do they get shoes? and how long have you been riding? :)
I have been riding for almost 4 years (it will be official on May 16 2024) and all the horses at the barn I’m at are barefoot! And I do both western and English too but with my videos I only show western since its with my “lease” horse and not my lesson barn (English riding) since I have not asked permission to film there yet 😂
@@A_HorseGirl_In_the_world okay! thank you!
@@Asb.Trigger anytime! I will eventually get a video out about me and Bentley (the horse in this video) it will have the info on me starting horse back and then info on me and Bentleys journey! I don’t have a date on when it will be out but I thought I should mention it since a lot of people are interested 😂🫶
In the first and second clip you can see me holding Bentley’s head to one side to keep him from caving into the arena Depending on what lead he is on I would hold his head the opposite way in order to keep him from caving in Definition of a canter lead: The shoulder going further forward, the one that is last hitting the ground between each stride, is the lead. This help’s Bentley gain muscle and will eventually not be a problem no longer since in most horse’s it is a muscle problem In the forth clip you will see him cave in but also drop his shoulder (Google: Does your horse drop his inside shoulder when you cue him to turn or start a circle? It's a common evasion. It enables your horse to “sort of” respond to your rein cue without having to improve how he's carrying himself.) But in some case’s moving sideway’s is trained you mostly see it in dressage or you see a trainer asking them to do it in order for show or training since it can help with many thing’s 🫶
I don't know crazy much about horses even though I love them but do you know why they sometimes move sideways? Here is what I mean 0:45
So some horses are trained like that it’s mostly used in dressage but in this case (you can’t really tell because the video is from my point of view and not a full body video) but when you see the full body of me and Bentley I’m actually just holding his head to the side cause he likes to cave into the middle of the area when we canter and I was basically just keeping him from keeping a bad habit if you would like I would happily post an example of it on my community part of my channel and tag you 🫶
@@A_HorseGirl_In_the_world okay thank you so much and sure I’d love that!
You ok hun?! That sounded like it hurt! 🫢❤️🩹
It did hurt quite a bit but lucky I only came out with a bruise 🤞
@@A_HorseGirl_In_the_world goodness, glad you’re not seriously injured. ❤️
GOOD JOB!!! I remember my first show it was sm fun i wish I could go back !!
Thank you! We plan to possibly do another one in June! Just depends lol and the world really needs a time machine 🤣
this happens to everyone i think you need sum more time to figure out the position and the tempo.
Yeah I was one of the kids who would fall once when learning each speed I fell my first day trotting and my second day cantering so I did expect this
Do you only own Bentley?
I actually don’t own any horse Bentley is kind of like a lease.. here’s some context: I am on a Facebook group and a while ago someone near me asked if I could work their horses and I got in contact with them and I started to work their horses and I at first I actually didn’t want to ride Bentley I really had nothing I wanted to do with him I avoided him at all cost but one day I couldn’t catch the horse I wanted (aka Kai) and Bentley was basically following me around wanting to work and so I gave up and rode him and since then I have been working with him and have fallen in love he was gonna be sold to the owners friends at one point but they test rode him and didn’t not like him and so I’m actually hoping they put him up for sale and give me first chance to buy him! (I have free roam with all their horses for free just to mention)
GOOD JOBBBB I JUST WENT TO MY FIRST EVER SHOW ONLY ONE MONTH AGO!!😍
Thank you! And congrats!
Omg WELL DONE l bet he/she was tired u did so well❤❤❤
Oh he definitely was he got the week off afterwards 😂
AWWw hes very good!
Cantering to the barn is bad habit to teach.
Well he had never blotted to the barn since we had an accident cause he wants me safe I wouldn’t do it if I knew he would do something dangerous plus we do go both ways when we created this video
Your making contact with the bit when neck reining. Every movement of your hands is felt in his mouth. The reason western trainers raise their hand is to lower the head using a shanked bit. Sit down .. learn to sit down. Running to the barn is a bad idea.
Sorry you’re comment got lost in my notification 🫶 thank you for explaining it was also since he was in a Tom Thumb and it not matter what always makes contact we have since switched bits! Since I am not the owner of him I don’t make the decisions but we are trying to find a bitless bridle for him! And running to the barn is a bad idea but we had one accident with that and since then he has never done it again! It really just depends on training and how well you’re horse is 🫶
This strange shaped paddock being used as an arena doesn't look very safe. Having a ride or lesson in an active paddock with loose horses is a recipe for disaster. While I understand that riding space might have been limited, it is safest to separate turnout areas from riding areas. If the paddock had been empty, that would have been ok. Still with the tree stump and uneven shape to the paddock, it didn't seem ideal to ride in. There was little to no rail to ride on and corners looked precarious especially when you were having issues with steering. Your hands were up too high and your reins were too long for proper contact. That may have contributed to the issues you were having. I can see that you are a capable rider and with thw proper lessons, you will be amazing. I couldn't hear any direction from your instructor other than towards the end and there was no indication that it was a lesson other than the video's heading.
I do agree with you but due to the area we live in it is hard to find space without it being millions of dollars and my trainer does speak I just find myself not having it in the video 😂
Hi, your intro is amazing, but … may I make you a new one and an outro? Can’t even spell it 😂❤❤❤
I actually plan on changing it soon and make an outro 🤣 but if I need help I’ll let you know but if you want feel free to! I’ll definitely would watched it!

AHH! I was waiting ages for this video 😂
SORRY! I had so many videos I wanted to put out it was a whole week late 🤣
@@A_HorseGirl_In_the_worldNo worries! I’m excited for the next one x
@@b.e.a.t.r.i.x_ I will say you guys will love the surprise 🤭👀
When are you posting?
I’m hopefully gonna have a post out by Wednesday but after yesterday I needed the day off but I will post the date in my community section as soon as possible!
Why are your reins so high this girl probably isn’t the 20% weight and is darn dangerous though the is a horse that has no halter on! And stop pulling on those reins!!!!!!!,!!,!,!,
How do you know I’m not the 20% rule? Every body carries weight differently this is also when I was horrible at riding maybe check out one of my newer videos and if your gonna be mean about it this channel might not be for you sorry :)
I love ur vids!!!!
Thank you!
I have had horses for a long time now- but there was one mare I loaned some time ago, she was a very sensitive girl, I had a crazy idea one day to go entirely bitless… it turned out to be the most amazing idea I ever thought of. I also had a FrisianXFell pony whom turned out to have ulcers, and he did a couple things like the very active ears, then he would pin them he tended to stop on the spot and then randomly start trotting of head held high- to try and escape the situation. I can’t judge from a video really, but with what you are saying- I think you are heading in the right direction, getting a trainer to help with equitation & simple tasks with him will definitely help. I did also see you may try bitless- it’s a great idea 😊. (I think he is trying to tell you something too as I’ve seen others think the same). I noticed you use a lot of voice cues and kissing/tutting, maybe try and use it a little less frequently as he may be getting mixed messages. When you say whoa- and then start kissing again… I got told by many trainers I had to ask my horse to do something on the lunge, and the second he did it to lay off him as it would tell him he had done exactly what I asked of him. This is just advice, it’s not to offend you in the slightest I genuinely think you are heading in the right direction!! Keep it up ❤❤
Thank you for being to nice! We did figure out the problem this week and have not bucked once (other then figuring out our left canter lead 😂) we have tried bitless and we are gonna get a bitless bridle for him and a few of the horses but until then the problem has been solved
Ik I can’t completely tell from just one vid but he looks like he may be a little out in his left hind which could be causing the problems with his lead and stop❤
His stop is good it was just not his day and I do agree with his hip! I am doing my best as a rider who is still learning 😅 but thank you for your feedback! And so sorry the is a really late reply I have found that I am losing track of comments 😂
This damn house needs a timeout to learn some discipline 😂😂😂😂I'm just playing his. I like to find humor in most situations
I get you I love humor 😂 he definitely needs some help but we got it figured out in our ride yesterday 🤪
Take some riding lessons. Relax your body, your legs and hands. You were tight and stiff, bouncing in the saddle. Then you started grabbing his mane and leaning forward. The horse was not comfortable with that and wanted you off. It's not the horse's fault... never is.
I at the time stopped taking lessons for a few reasons now I’m back into them and I will admit this was a dumb decision and I won’t be attempting it for a bit and I never blame anything on the horses I know this is a trail and error sport and that you have to be patient and take your time :)
