As a western rider, i wear a helmet, i ride my horses in a halter, and i dont like to run barrels that much 🤣 and i cant imagine not just going out in my everyday clothes (t-shirt, jeans, and boots) and riding horses. 🤷♀😂
Lol she also mentioned western pleasure with hints. She tried to include different version in western and English riding. Don’t feel targeted lol!
Me too lol 😂
Same, I've tried the closest western saddle you can get to an English. without it being considered. I was bouncing all over the place lol 😆
Everyone calls me cowboy! Only thing I know about cow’s is cooking
Wait is that not normal? Am I not supposed to wear a tshirt jeans and boots?
I looove how even the arguments were! I ride both myself so I can see both sides of the coin. And I love that you played it out to the extremes for both to not hurt any ones little internet feelings ♥
Same I both English and western, I have western saddle and English saddle but I think I use my western saddle a little more?
I like to think of it like this:
Western: I use a shanked bit because they can feel a subtle movement of my hand, but I try to avoid making actual contact whenever possible! I feel connected to my horse when I don't need to use the reins at all!
English: I use the most gentle bit possible on my horse because I feel connected to him when he willingly takes the contact because then he is always aware of what my hands are doing!
I like how you pick on them both equally!
I find western saddles much more practical for something like trails or camping. You can tie or store every gosh darn thing you need on a western saddle to go out for the day either to the saddle itself or in a saddle bag. I think english saddles are great for short rides and doing arena work, but IMO I'd put my money into a western trail saddle if I had to pick.
I ride western at home and English at lessons. And this was sooo funny!
The: 'I know what happens when you fall off' had me dead XD its so true!
I’m a western/English rider and I wear a riding helmet for both 🤣🤣🤣🤣 love this video
Love it especially the attempt at the accent.
Oh man the helmet part is so true though. I'm a western rider at a predominantly western stable. Most of us wear our helmets even though it isn't fashionable. I wish helmets weren't so looked down on by others. Still, I'd rather look silly to them than deal with a brain injury.
AGREED!!! 4 of the 14 concussions I've sustained in the last just over 6 years were from coming off a horse, and the only reason it wasn't 5 and 15 is because one of the times I came off and hit my head hard, my helmet prevented me from getting one. I never ride without a helmet, even with 17 1/2 years of experience, and if I hadn't had one on for that first concussion, it could have potentially killed me, or at least left me severely incapacitated (and that was during my senior year of college, no less) - getting spooked off from a standstill is still the worst concussion I've gotten (pretty ridiculous thing to cause it, but it is what it is).
That's why you could always wear decorative ones, like yeah black is the main color and makes sense for shows but at least on regular rides it's cool to wear one, my helmet is lavender with a horse head as the design on it
@@SnowySpiritRuby I was lucky to wear a helmet too. My Haflinger bolted when his tail got caught in the fence. I fell out of the saddle but my foot got caught in the stirrup. I got hit on the head by my horses hoof. I'm happy that I wore a helmet or else bad things could have happened.
They do make a helmet that has a cowboy hat built in! They do look a little funny though, like a cowboy hat but instead of a normal or decorative hat band, there is a bulky black plastic disc/strap there. They also make some fun helmets with some western designs on them.
True, I kinda agree. I switch every time between hats and helmets, I know how my horses are though. To me I think if you know how your horse is that's all that matters. I agree though.
I ride both, heres my views:
I much prefer a loose rein and a relaxed horse, I like jumping, I like sitting deep in the saddle, basically I prefer the western style but english sports lol. I'm not a big fan of barrels or poles since it's quite repetitive, and I really enjoy the feeling of jumping. I also always wear a helmet lol
Couldnt agree more! In english were Taught to rely on the reins way to much, most people end up building bad habits from that, like balancing on the reins or not using seat and leg aids AT ALL
@@lukegaspar1345 You have been exposed to lousy trainers. And they are indeed out there. Sorry you had bad luck. Many of us (I hope) English riders have to jump with no reins, and spend hours being lunged by an instructor, riding, in a dressage saddle, but no reins. These can be grueling lessons, physically, but well worth it, in my opinion. But I am an eventer, have been for 20 years,, and we have to be quite fit, particularly our "core."
@@chuckthebrindlepittie6820 definetly, im a english rider myself, fortunelly ive been with amazing trainers for quite a while now and was able to get rid of those bad habits taught to me at the start, it was hard and took a lot of effort, but my riding has became way better now, definetly worth it
@@lukegaspar1345 Good for you!!! Your horse(s) thanks you for your self-discipline, I am certain. At the end of the day, horses are our friends, and we want to be kind and fair to them. We are lucky, every day, that they let us climb on their back and ask something of them.
Ha! You nailed it. I do detect the very slightest, slightest hint of preference for Western and I agree. I've ridden both. When I took a trip to England and splurged on a day session at one of their most prestigious riding stables, the instructor was astonished when I moved my horse with leg. She actually said, "Wow"! I never knew you could do that. However, for my purposes, now at 75-years, gotta say that tacking up with English is SO EASY...even without a groom to assist (although the idea of a groom is very tantalizing.) I just have pad and shim the hell out of it for my Arabs and remember to run the girth strap through the dang loops on the English pad. The easy part is just placing that little light thing on their back.
Which riding stables was it? Honestly I find it impossible to believe that any riding school in England doesn’t know you can move a horse with your leg (considering it’s usually one of the first things you learn) let alone a “prestigious” one so I’m curious as to which one you went to?
You lost me halfway through your comment. No comprende
@@justgio2711 It was a long time ago. All I remember was that it was in Yorkshire.
@@cherylchild probably a green instructor. I’m English, learned to ride at a very young age and still distinctly remember having to tie my reigns in a knot and learning to control the horse with my legs. Then they took my stirrups off me too 🥺And that wasn’t a prestigious school😂
Ikr, Idk how to tack up a western saddle very well 😂 I don't ride western but still, it looks a little complicated
This made me laugh so hard, I'm a western rider, but I like watching dressage shows and jumping tournaments.
I can't wait to watch!!! We all fight each other, but do feel like in tv shows or in real life people stereotype English riders being mean and snooty, and western riders being nice, I just really don't get it! I want to be a hunter jumper when I'm older though. I just want everybody to be friends! 😊 ps I do think English riders and western are both nice!😄
I do both, but I love jumping!
I do both! Mainly barrel racing, but I do jumping
@@graceandstorm5428 awesome!!!
@@jenmiller5303 What kind of riding are you practicing?
Ps:I like to trail ride with my horse that has an english saddle, so🤷♀️
Also I think the english riders are right about the helmet, safety first even tought it does not look cool.
And the western saddle is more confortable on long rides and gives the rider more support, but the english saddle is lighter.I have tried them both.
@Wild Spirit I don't ride often there is no stables I can go to at the moment. I ised to ride western though! Thanks for asking! It's good to know someone cares!
This was extremely entertaining! You did great!!
Girl, love your videos. Very informative and FUNNY!!! 😂
Love the cat following you everywhere :) sooo cute
I love this. Please part 2, 3,4 ,5 ,6 a whole series
This is awesome! I also love the cat in the background.
I love how she did so good on both ends
I’m and English rider and literally this speaks to me thank you
Funny. Would be nice to see a video about the difference between Western and English use of the Reigns.
Wonder how the Cossacks and Mongols differ in horse riding.
I LOVE your videos! Thank you soo much! Inspired me to start my own channel!
Awesome video! I started in English. Then Western. Then found my happiness with what humans call, natural horsemanship. What’s fun journey. Love and relate to your humorous fun video! You go girl. Thank you Equine Helper! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Loved this!! I’m a beginner learning western but ultimately want to do English because I like the sports better. Thanks for making this :)
Got a laugh out of me great waybto start the morning
Super funny!!! great job!!
That is so funny!! Thanks!
Best one yet 🤣🤣♥️
I always enjoy your videos! Keep going!
Omg I have that Helmet that you put on at 1:00!!! Also great video btw love them! ❤️
This is a cute summary of the stereotypes - which aren't cute - that divide equestrian sport and enjoyment.
I ride recreationally, and occasionally go to clinics, schooling shows and gymkhanas.
I have a variety of saddles and bridles in my tack room: all purpose, close contact, Dressage, and a side saddle; western pleasure, roping, trail, and a parade saddle; a South American Brazilian saddle and bridle; hunter bridles, Dressage bridles, a double bridle, a baroque bridle and a Bavarian embroidered bridle for SCA events; split ear, futurity knot, bosal... they're all fun and have their purposes! Hmm. Maybe I have a tack addiction... lol!
I enjoy your videos and the playful caricatures you share. 👍🏼
GREAT video! Loved it!!
Hottest takes I've seen all week 🤣🤣🤣
I'm an english rider, this was sooooo funny !!!! 🤣🤣🤣 new sub !!!♡
Lol this is so on point!
💕Absolutely Love Camilla's videos!! I ride western, tried English just wasn't for me, but totally love and respect the ones that do!!! 🐎 💕
Omg your southern accent 😆 the attempt was very endearing.
this was cute.. Definitely true. I grew up as a dressage rider but I'm also a professional trail guide which is western so this is me talking to me..😅
Great video. Funny!
Nailed it girl
Omg that coat-
The classic western carhart coat (or something like it lol)
I wear one to the barn every week!
This was funny and so true. And who is the cute kitty cat following you around?
TOO CUTE!!! Adorable observations!! How about learning to RIDE BITLESS!
Great video!! I ride both English and western but the rest of my family rides only western so I get teased for riding english A LOT!!
This is funny and mostly accurate
I ride both and this is hysterical 😂
I ride both. I will ALWAYS reccomend everyone learns both. There is so much you can get from it!!
I love your videos.
Perfect ! 😆
The accuracy!!
You nailed it 😂
😂😂😂 love it👍
Luckily I ride both disciplines English and Western for fun 😊
Me too!
@@Mustangsinfinity do you live in Oregon ? if so we can go ride together 😁
@@leilawitherspoon503 That would be cool, but no. :(
Western rider here 🤠 Personally, I think that as long as a rider loves his horse, treats him with respect, and doesn't abuse him, english or western doesn't matter. We can all get along, sharing our love for horses
Great video, 100% Accurate. Love your channel, you earned a sub :)
Edit : I was third yay, im usually never this early becauseof time zones:)
Nailed it🤣
You should have added the spurs that western riders use, and that Western riders can pretty much wear their boots while doing work...they don't have to switch into separate ones....lol xD
Very funny 😂 I ride English but most of my AZ friends keep trying to make me go Western. I tell them I'm just too lazy to carry that heavy saddle 😛
i do both the best one was when you said do you relly carry a crop🤣
I have a western saddle and all that but I'd say im not so much of a cowgirl or barrel rider or any of that. im like a mix. love your videos btw!!!
I'm western rider but I've always rode bitless and even bridleless. I work for an English riding facility and they were shocked when I mentioned I never use bits let alone bridles. Just me and the horse understanding one another.
Hehehehe, lovely, specially the cat:)))
For those that ride both: maybe try an Australian stock saddle: it's a halfway compromise between Western and English - designed for jackaroos and jillaroos to ride all day, every day. Also, I think we need helmets that are a compromise between cowboy hats and helmets: head protection and a wide stiff fabric brim to keep the sun and rain off.
Lmaooo I love her and her videos! I am an English rider too lol
What's best for the horse is all that matters 😊
As someone who loves western riding this is so funny
So true. Really funny!!
1:15 i got a barn cat that follows me on the railings while i’m mucking the paddocks just like that.
This was funny! I am a mix I’d say. I ride in western tack with jeans, but use paddock boots and half chaps because I find that more comfortable than western boots. I post in the trot because again it’s more comfortable and I also use a bonnet to help cancel noise and keep my horse focused! I also wear a helmet, and let my horses mane and tail grow as long as they can!
I don't really know... I ride English, but I actually like the horse having long manes.
Same
I ride classic-baroque, in my early years I also rode English and when on vacation I also rode Western. I always like my horse having a long mane and tail. It just looks natural
Hahaha love it so so funny 🤣🤣💗💗
I ride both styles and they are so different but so fun
It’s just so true lol
Hah facts I’m western and barrel racing is definitely a skill in fact I’d like to see you try
Haha, actually I'm riding an academically trained Icelandic horse, so I got a chuckle out of this and can kinda see both sides here...
I ride english, western, and bareback. However, I still where a helmet when I ride I would rather not break my neck! Lol 😊
I used to ride English when I was taking lessons and I did try Western one time. I think I’d like to stick to English riding and even have a go at dressage, simply because it’s better exercise. The posing helps with core stability and using the legs in various exercises also helps to develop muscles in those areas. I wasn’t getting that with the Western riding. The canter seems so much more graceful in English riding.
totally respect your opinion, but canter and loping are the same gait. loping is just slower (but only in western pleasure)
Funny and informative as our local librarian says. -
Some tack doesn't have bits? How does that even work?
This is a great film making. Do you have a director? even the cat did an excellent job.
You should also do how to ride your first horse
Anyone know what kind of Carhartt jacket that is? I love it!
I’ll try again. Meant, what a fun journey!
WELL DONE!!!
😂 SO GREAT
I'm an English rider and I do agree with most of it 😂 I do like paints and appaloosas like the western rider and I don't mind too much but I do like long mane too. I have also ridden western so I'm slightly in-between lol
Like: if you ride English
Comment: If you ride Western
Western!
Well, I do both
Me as a rider of nothin' cause I'm broke - like and comment
Me who understands both: *I am four parallel universes ahead of you*
😂 Internet Gold!
Anyone else notice the barn cat following her the whole time
Me, still love jumping as a western rider.
I’m a mix of both!
As someone who does both, I can relate to many of these sentiments XD
So true I ride both so I get each side of view
I am an English rider but I soooooo want to really de western it looks so fun
I have done western and English and honestly it’s rlly funny when some one says you ride like a western rider.. I have done western since I was 3 stoped and started English at 10 and I have only done English for 2 years I find it very funny 🤣🤣
I ride western for lessons but I want to start jumping, I have ridden English a couple of times tho, but I can say this was funny 😂😂
I’m an English show jumper and I’ve only ridden western a couple of times, but I think for trail rides western saddle are better but for schooling English saddle are and I prefer the jumping and schooling side of horses so I guess that why I ride English!
I ride dressage and and in the nature with an iberican baroque-saddle and I and my Shagya-arabian mare are happy. The saddle is larger than an english saddle so the weight is better distributed on the horseback. And the saddle is lighter than a Western saddle. It's also the most comfortable saddle I've ever set in and I've ridden a lot of different horses with different saddles (english, western, baroque)
I showjump and it is way easier to school in English tack!
This is so true! I’m western soooo…….😂😂
This reminds me of those Troom Troom videos but makes a little more sense 😆
My instructor gets mad when she sees me without a helmet. One day I will accomplish my search for the right time to lift the helmet up from my head for a bit while my instructor's back is turned. She's the sort of snob who thinks it's an American that I don't euphemise it as a "riding hat". My mother acted like I was crazy when I said this to her, but she only fell off once in her entire career. I would always wear a helmet while riding on a tarmac surface though.
