What, are you some PETA member? Wow. That’s such a rude thing to say. Maybe some people weren’t as fortunate to get lessons as a child. And besides, a horse can take more than what your liberal mind thinks it does.

@rodeosabuseanimals …
@rodeosabuseanimals: I have instructed hundreds of beginner riders of all ages. Believe me, lesson horses suffer far more from the kids than from adult beginners! I’ve also found that my adult women students learn at a rapid pace compared to my adult men students and young (little kid) students. Of course, it is such an individual thing! Some people are just more coordinated, take direction/correction well, and have a way with animals. Other people… not so much!

Beginner riders …
Beginner riders should only be children , all these cranky middle aged women border line menopause who start riding should take Tennis because there is no hope for them only suffering for the horse . and that my friends is the truth that you want to say it or not

Dont judge people …
Dont judge people when you arent even ride western. Young horses (like here) are trained with hackamore or snaffle bit with two reins. Only the senior horses are ridden with bits and single rein. So the pros use only 1 rein, youre right. But most are not.

This of course, is …
This of course, is in response to NO4GO2 who hops all over you tube vids arguing with everyone and telling wild stories about she lives in the mountains far from civilization and her dad knows so much about horses they don’t need a vet. For the love of your horses do not take advice from someone like this, who would deny thier animals basic or advanced medical treatment because they think they know everything. Anyone that buys a horse should take the financial responsibility that comes w/ it .

I can’t help but …
I can’t help but notice you go from video to video telling everyone what’s wrong and what’s right. You don’t even OWN a horse, yet you claim to be an expert that lives in the mountains 6 hrs from civilization and you are as qualified as any vet so your “horses” don’t even get cared for. What type of inadequacy are you trying to account for ? Surely you don’t have 30 yrs experience, as it is obvious you are just a little girl, with a lot of stories and crap, but no true knowledge and no horses.

What chemicals are …
What chemicals are you smoking? Its an embaresment to use two hands when reining. what you are is a product of an english instructor teaching a western event.
Anyone here that thinks I am wrong first go to a rodeo look for the guy using 2 hands. look on the videos. reining or any other western disipline is one handsed. Had to be since you needed the other hand to work the gun, lariate. or whatever other tool you needed.
Don’t argue with me just watch all the pro’s anywhere.

she needs to tighten her reins and lower her hands so the horse knows that shes comfertable and compitent
and she should also move the styrups the the very front of her foot, like near her toes,
