She was a star 🌟 It’s always funny getting on other people’s horses and seeing how they respond to my ‘normal’ cues and how I need to adjust my riding accordingly! x
Question: Definitely mares!! Love them and I feel like I get on with them more than geldings! And I love a good, crazy pony mare (they're usually devils but also the absolute best!!) Bridget looks so fun to ride and it looks like you did really well with her!! X
Used to ride all the time and i miss it so much, but ive gotten really excited as in a couple years im planning on riding again in uni :) Ive watched your channel for years. Love from the US
QOTD: so from a personal standpoint I own a mare. I love her to bits and wouldn't trade her for anything. But I have also owned a gelding. Mares, I feel like, and much more relaxed and and calm. And geldings are much more rowdy and hyper. Just my opinion so I guess both😂
@@meganhoover3851 haha honestly! gelding is the def of I will listen to you if you are nice to me and mare is the def of I am gonna do things my way wether you like it or not!
Same, I have a mare and she is super calm and she lets my friends and neighbors pet her. And then there's my apendix gelding and he's SUPER crazy he get scared by the littlest things.... One day we were going for a walk around my property and he heard something in a bush and then a squirrel come running out and he flipped out he pulled the lead rope out of my hand and almost got away. I am lucky he didn't run away. But I still can't say which I like more, it just depends.
What a lovely video! I am in love with Bridget, she seems like such a sweet mare! AOTD: I don't really mind but I typically ride geldings so I do prefer to ride them. It just depends on the personality more than their gender to me!
Yo Yo i wouldn’t say you could build a better bond with them but they deffo have more character, i feel like building bonds is if the rider and horse work together
Good job, she seems like such a lovely mare and a great new horse for you to ride! Speaking of new horses I’ve had the go ahead to try some of the thoroughbreds at my riding school as the ponies are a bit small for me now 😂
@@AFurryPanda it's fine I think that I always find horse riding a stress relief place for me all the time I think you should go back and not care about anyone else
@@aussietv2000 A correctly fitting running martingale is fine to jump in, but a standing martingale should never be jumped in. The only point to a martingale is to stop a horse from putting their head too high or throwing their head up/back which can be dangerous or means the rider has little control - some horses work better with them, and some horses naturally carry their heads lower and just don’t need them.
QOTD: Either! I love how mares can give you a hard time being all exited, but so can geldings. I don’t have a lot of experience on mares, because the only mares at my barn are either western horses, or a bit too small for me, and I am a tall human :) So I usually ride the geldings :) Ahh I wish I could have a LeMieux saddle pad!!! They’re so beautiful, they’re actually less expensive than most saddle pads, but I need a large saddle pad because I have a super long drop on my saddle, and I need more coverage since I use my saddle on multiple different horses :) Amazing lesson! She’s so beautiful! Crazy that she’s not piebald or scewbald 😂😱
Bridget looks beautiful! She looks like she'd be a fun ride. QOTD: Difficult question- I'll say gelding just because the gelding I normally ride acts like a mare but less mareish? He's sassy but not so sassy, ig. But I do love both!
The horses are turned out on grass 24/7 until the fields get too muddy in the winter. The stables are just used for tacking up/untacking when the horses are being ridden, not to stay in long-term.
No don’t worry! 20x40 is the standard size in the uk and is the Dressage arena size for BE (British Eventing) and also some BD (British Dressage), so a lot of places have an area this size for schooling or lessons, then possibly a larger second arena or a separate paddock for jumping. Lots of riding schools / yards in the UK will either have a few separate smaller arenas / jumping paddocks, or one much larger one for everything 😊
QOTD: I don’t know! I don’t really ride mares only on hacks an they have been fab. When schooling I have only rode gelding an they also r fab so that is to hard🤣💗
QOTD: In the riding school I ride at there is actually only one non-pony mare. And since she is fairly new and seems a little to unsteady for me, I've never ridden her. I grew out of the ponies during the 2019 summer break and since then, I have only ridden one mare, my riding instructor let her mare go to the school for a few weeks when she could not stay at home. I really loved riding her since she was a little more exciting than the riding school horses, she's the only horse I know that has kicked back two times with me on. But, like I said, all the horses I ride are geldings including my favourite. So I'll have to go with them. 🐎🦄
QOTD - mares can be more opinionated sometimes, but then I've ridden some good mares, and some bad ones. Same with geldings, so not sure being male or female makes a difference, until the mare comes into season lol.
For the question I have a gelding at the moment who I loan but we are buying a mare called suri soon so definitely mares but they have more of an attitude than geldings 😂😂💕
When I took lessons as a little kid, my trainer kept putting me on a little mare called Snowflake. Let’s just say that every ride was a scarring life experience.....
For some reason this is the first time in ages one of your videos have popped up on my recommendation page! I have some catching up to do! I thought you just hadn’t posted!
"I'm gonna be your rider, sorry" she indeed looked very unimpressed at first haha Do you have a preference for riding mares or geldings? edit: how haven't I read the description box before and accidentally asked you the exact same thing? haha For me it's geldings though, don't know why, I just click better and easier with them.
I honestly like them both equally for different reasons! I’d rather ride a mare on a regular basis/more than once to get to know them a bit more slowly, whereas I’m happy to just hop on geldings and not feel like I need to ‘test the waters’ as much!
Blago se tebi radis ono sto volis znam da ovo ne razunes ni ja ne razumem tebe ali te obozavam jer volim konje i ti si profi u tome dragomi je sto snimas i sto ja mogu da gledam tebe i na neki nacin da dozivim kako je to biti na konju svaki tvoj video me inspirise da ne odustanem od svoje zelje da imam konja i da budem dobar jahac kao ti mnogo te volim - I LOVE YOU SO MUCH
QOTD: Gelding is my preference as two mares out of four that I’ve ridden have been “mare-ish” and they would have a tantrum or buck or both😂 with everyone who got on them but I have ridden two that were never like that and they were gentle giants and taught me a lot 🥰😊 but I do prefer geldings though I feel they are a lot more chill in every which way possible 😂🤷🏼♀️
Claire: “Sorry I’m going to be your rider!” 😂😂😂😂
Bridget: (thinking) whatevs! 😂😂
She’s such a sweet girl!
👇 This is the number of times I say ‘gOoD gIrL’ in the video
LOL!🤣
I used to lean more to geldings , but I share a lovely Dark Bay Warmblood x mare and she is lovely. Aww she looks so sweet to ride.
Lol
gOoD gIrL, Claire 😂
100th like! Yay!
The way you act around horses, it's just so wonderful to watch. I love the way you "greet" yourself to horses you haven't ridden either.
"I am going to be your rider"
....
"Sorry"
she looks gorgeous!
tysm :)
@@maddyhafferty2763 why are you saying tysm?
@@thisequinehannah8336 shes my horse hah, read the desc I'm Maddy :)
Wow your so lucky to have such a sweet mare! Do you compete her regularly? 🥰🥰
@@imogenprice7870 I dint compete yet but I plan to in the future x
ayyy that's my horse :))) glad she was good for you, yeah we do canter transitions a bit different ahah, her walk to canter is amazing though

You own her?
Shes beautiful!
So u let others ride her or what?

I have never owned a calm mare in my life 😂😂😂 But yeah, both is better!
I think you got the descriptions of mares and geldings mixed up there!

OMG this was amazing
She’s so cute!!
QOTD:
That's hard, but I'll have to say geldings since my horse himself is a gelding 🤣🤣
Hahhah same!
My pony is a gelding, acts like a mare
QOTD:
I’m gonna have to be different and say mates i think they have more character than geldings and you can build a better bond with them 💗
Yo Yo i wouldn’t say you could build a better bond with them but they deffo have more character, i feel like building bonds is if the rider and horse work together
I’ve always preferred mares ! :)
You and Bridget are so good together😊
Good job, she seems like such a lovely mare and a great new horse for you to ride! Speaking of new horses I’ve had the go ahead to try some of the thoroughbreds at my riding school as the ponies are a bit small for me now 😂
this was just a one off because I (her owner) was away x
Maddy Hafferty she’s a lovely horse, you’ve done a great job with her ❤️
Aww she's so cute! I have a mare and a gelding and I can't say which I like more.🙂
QOTD: geldings all the way!!
The people who we're saying that you should be jumping is wrong be proud of you're self because your amazing
She looks gorgeous!Hope you had fun!QOTD: geldings!We have to and they are lovely and I had to say them!But I’m not saying I don’t like mares too!☺️
Bridget is adorable 🥺
Ty x
QOTD: I can't pick! I love and adore both!
What boots are you wareing as it looks like a pair of Brogini I could be wrong just want to know
They’re Mark Todd long leather field boots 😊
do they sleep with their tack on?
No, they’re tacked up just before their lesson - there’s a FAQ section in the description box that might answer any more questions you might have.
@@PonyCam alright, thank you!
She is so cute! I stopped riding 2 and a half years ago. Should I go back?
if you feel like you wanna go back GO BACK Don't let anyone change your opinion
Amber Gaming Thanks for the advice 👍. Just I was totally forgotten once new people came and it wasn’t the same.
@@AFurryPanda it's fine I think that I always find horse riding a stress relief place for me all the time I think you should go back and not care about anyone else
There's only one gelding at my barn now, all the mares are in heat. It.. was eventful to say the least.
OMG VUTE CUTR CUT CUTE CUTE CUTE CUTE CUTE
The horses is so cuteeeeeeee
she looks beautiful absolutely stunning 10 out of 10 also 10 out of 10 on the saddle pad
hehe I love matchy, and tysm
I live seeing these types of vids
Omg first!!! 💖💖💖
It’s so amazing
I have the same girth but why don’t u use a matin gale
This horse doesn’t need a martingale! 😊
PonyCam but when jumping and you have a martingale does it give them a disadvantage to jump?
@@aussietv2000 A correctly fitting running martingale is fine to jump in, but a standing martingale should never be jumped in.

PonyCam i know that but when ever I canter my horse tilts his head side ways his not even a Arabian horse it’s a throw bread
Hi! Bridget is my horse and she is very chilled out and I only ever use a martingale for XC because she's so calm and well behaved :)
Great video. QOTD: Tbh I like both Mares and Geldings. I've been able to ride both and I like both.
I love your video's❤️😍
QOTD: Either! I love how mares can give you a hard time being all exited, but so can geldings. I don’t have a lot of experience on mares, because the only mares at my barn are either western horses, or a bit too small for me, and I am a tall human :) So I usually ride the geldings :)

@@maddyhafferty2763 your pony is so good i hope that in the future are good jumper 😃
Aww you did amazing

Beautiful❤🥰 Horse cute😚🐎
I do not know too much about riding but is it normal that there is no straw in his box? 🤔
The horses are turned out on grass 24/7 until the fields get too muddy in the winter. The stables are just used for tacking up/untacking when the horses are being ridden, not to stay in long-term.
@@PonyCam oh ok c:
Hey I had a question.
Are all the riding arenas in UK this small?
This is a standard size 20x40m arena, it’s not small at all! just not one of those giant ones where you can have multiple lessons going on at once! 😊
@@PonyCam I'm so sorry if that sounded rude! Because I was just curious🤦🏽♀️
@@PonyCam oh so our dressage arena here in Asia is 20m×60m(the original size)
And jumping is I think 35m×like 80m
No don’t worry! 20x40 is the standard size in the uk and is the Dressage arena size for BE (British Eventing) and also some BD (British Dressage), so a lot of places have an area this size for schooling or lessons, then possibly a larger second arena or a separate paddock for jumping.

Czemu w boksie nie ma ściółki?
Because the horse is only in there to be tacked up / untacked, she’s not in there all day.

What riding school is that
Turpin Lodge Riding School
Wow
For the question I have a gelding at the moment who I loan but we are buying a mare called suri soon so definitely mares but they have more of an attitude than geldings 😂😂💕
QOTD: I prefer geldings. If you have ever owned an older mare you will know exactly why...
Ik, I have a 15 year old mare
When I took lessons as a little kid, my trainer kept putting me on a little mare called Snowflake. Let’s just say that every ride was a scarring life experience.....
qotd: i personally would rather a mare since i feel any bond created with a mare is stronger especially if they have given birth
She is so pretty hopefully you will rose her in the future
Thank you, but riding Bridget was a one off as I was just having a lesson on her while her owner was away 😊
