    I really like all your videos. I watch to reinforce what I am learning from my trainer. Sometimes it is helpful to see someone else do it when you can really pay attention to the details. I find them very helpful! Thank you.

    Well it is certainly not a way to learn how to ride by looking on Youtube so please don’t just get on a horse and think you know what your doing from watching this. But nice vid :)

    You said learning how to ride from YouTube videos are pointless, yet your the one who logged on, searched it, and watched the whole thing?

    It doesn’t matter. It’s doesn’t help the horses back if you are getting on quickly.

    This isn’t teaching you to ride. This is giving you tips and telling you what to expect from your first lesson.

    it’s a nice vid, but i don’t like how she gives the impression that riding is just like ‘pull the right rain and it will turn right, pull the left and it will turn left’. it’s much more difficult!

    very true.

    In my opinion, if you’re gunna learn to ride, take lessons.
    Learning to ride, from youtube videos is pointless.

    to be fair, i didn’t learn about using my legs/seat to ride for quite a while into taking lessons, so i’m not surprised she doesn’t mention it here, i think it’s a bit much for someone who’s never ridden before.
