@@animalloverforever6559 sometimes an opinion can go too far, like anything ... And it also makes others feel down no matter who it was aimed at, this video is supposed to be motivation NOT bringing people down & on motivational videos that are trying to bring u up the last thing u want is one of those stupid immature comments that just bring u down again...
In golf, you don’t fall in love with the ball. In football, you don’t fall in love with the football. In soccer, you don’t fall in love with the soccer ball. But being an equestrian.... *you fall in love with a horse.* And this, people, is why it’s so much more than a sport. Because a horse can break your bones, but it’ll never break your heart.
People say this isn’t a sport. How is golf more of a sport then horseback riding? All you do is hit a little ball into a hole. Anyone can do it. Horseback riding on the other hand, not everyone can. We continue getting hurt, falling off, getting kicked, because we love our sport. We put up with the pain, the sadness, the problems, so that we can encounter the happiness. The joy. This is our life. We do this *for a reason.* *It is worth it. Don’t quit.*
You just helped me. I feel like nothing moves forward. As if I'm stuck. I have got a horse. He isn't mine but I'm the only one riding him. I love him but we are going through a hard time. It is always a risk when I'm riding him. Sometimes I think about quitting but I just can't give up on him. It's just always when I think "now we fixed the problem. He did well for over three weeks" and than he does it again. And again. It feels as if I'm trying to climb a mountain and every time I think I got to the top I'm falling back down again. But you are right. We do this for a reason. It's worth it. I live for the tiny moments where everything is perfect and we are cantering through the forest. The moments when he walks next to me without a lead rope. I have to stay strong for him. But sometimes it is so hard. I'm sorry for writing such a long text and if there were mistakes in it. English is not my mother tongue.
I agree with this. Being able to ride a horse, it’s a gift that only some of us get. I didn’t grow up with horses, my family doesn’t ride, I was just born to ride.
Horse riding isn’t just something. it’s everything, we put our lives on the line for what we love. Being able to ride a horse is a gift we are born with.
When we fall, we get back up for a reason. True Leaders are great horse riders, you have to take charge, be loyal, kind, caring, and have patience. Horse riding takes time. once at the beginning of a lesson, my horse reared and I fell off, I got back in even though I was in pain, we went to the ER after my lesson, I had a broken big toe, sprained foot, and twisted ankle. It Didn’t stop me, I knew I shouldn’t have gone to my lesson the next day, but I did because I care about my passion, my dream.
Problems with some people: 1. They say Horse riding isn’t a sport 2. They ask why you do it because it costs a lot 3. Horses are Nasty and dumb 4. It’s a waste of time, blood, tears 5. When you fall, why do you keep riding? All of this is not true. Those who say it is, just have had a bad experience. (I don’t want to be mean btw)
Exactly every person I ask well have you rode before they all say yes and I have fallen or my horse wouldn’t listen and I was like omg please I have only rode 2 years fallen 6 times and been hospitalized cause of one. I have come a long way and it will never be a waste of time
this helped me so much I broke my arm and I just lost my confidence but watching this it's made me think we all fall but we get back up we ride like we are like an equestrian and that's what's makes us special and I'm proud of being of one :)
same thing happened to me I fractured my arm 2 years ago and I was scared every time I got back on that horse. My instructor asked if I wanted to switch horses but I just couldn't leave him.
I did that I broke my elbow bc my horse galloped off with me and I didn’t want to get back on bc it hurt but it was like a rush that went over me and I jumped back on and now it’s the only thing I miss everybody asks if I want to sell him but that’s the last thing I want and I’m determined to keep going even if this keeps happening he will be amazing when I can sort him out now I have only been riding a few years and he is 6 but I won’t give up on him or myself and I hope this helped you out a bit and anybody else who sees this just remember being an equestrian is a test if something bad happens and you give up it’s not the right thing for you but if you keep going your brave and determined and it’s the right thing for you x
I broke my arm two years ago on my little pony and I guess I was afraid to get back on and ride but here today I now have a 16hand horse that works like magic
I think people say horse riding isn’t a sport because there is so much work, blood, and sweat that goes on behind the scenes. They don’t know all the things we do we we aren’t being timed.
Non equestrians also don't see all the subtle cues, the balance, core and leg strength required, the hours, days, months and years of working with horses to learn new skills to perfect! moving up the levels and shows. they definitely don't get that we have a teammate and partner to work with. Horses have their own mind!
I fell out of my love for riding after my mother passed and we moved away from our barn. But after watching someone else gloat about their sport I realized how sad it was to say,” I used to ride horses.” No. I begged my aunt to take me to a barn and I thrive off these videos. I rarely go to the barn but I’m working on getting back in the ring with my own horse again. I want my sport back I want to be able to say,” my sport? I ride horses.”
"He who says he can and he who says he can't are both equally right" "Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate but that we are great beyond measure" "It's not about how hard you get hit, it's about how hard you can GET hit and keep moving forward" "To be able at any moment to sacrifice who we are, to become who you want to be" "I will show you how great I am"
This helpt me alot I got scared of my own horse. The reasons where that everytime we canter he would run of with me on his back. He stopt responding to me I felt that everything was gone and after watching this I slaped myself in the face saying I need to stop bringing myself down and start again from 0. Now almost 1 month later I am cantering, jumping bareback and even learning how to ride bitles. I'm so happy! :D
This is happening with me now and I’m trying to get over it, it just freaks me out so much, when he goes into a canter he spookes and I’ve fallen every time I ride him to the point I’m not wanting to ride him because I know I will fall
@@imkellymccauley8458 I know what it feels like. My horse doesn't spook easily. but maybe what can help is just to keep him on a circle. This helped me gain my confidence again and now I am cantering again feeling happy and free I even did a gallop with him! I hope it will get better soon.
For anyone asking why we get back up when we fall...... It’s because when we fall we become a stronger and better rider! Even if our confidence is knocked it’s makes us stronger!, we obviously don’t want to fall off again so if we get up and do whatever we were doing we are going to do it better and stronger than before! This is why we don’t give up! *edit* We fall because we take a risk, if you don’t fall your not pushing yourself :)
I have recently had a terrible fall off of a horse I trained myself, after that I’ve not been motivated to ride her and I’ve lost some confidence with that horse but watching this has made me motivated to go out and ride her and give her all I’ve got! Watching this reminded me everyone has falls and troubles with their horses and I need to just get back on and ride with my heart💗 thank you
For my first pony I had a spooky crazy mare who threw me off every time I rode her. I wanted to quit and didn’t see the fun anymore when every time I rode I just got hurt. It was hard to remember why I loved the sport so much but my mum wanted me to get another pony to try remember. I wasn’t sure I even wanted another one but then I met my perfect pony. He was so caring and sweet and took such good care of me, he was 27 but I didn’t care I still loved him anyway. I still have him and he has been amazing all the time I have had him, he has brought all my confidence back and is truly perfect. He is being retired now because of him age but I am going to keep him for a companion horse as he is one in a million and I could never let him go. He has brought me on so much and I have now done things that I never thought I could ever do. So for anyone who ever has doubt: *it is worth it so get back on your horse and remind yourself why you ride*
This really helped me and I wanted to share why: So, it was a normal, rainy day and I was riding a quite new horse at our stable. Everything was good until we got to the canter. First of all I couldn't bring him to canter and when I did he bucked me off. I fell off and hit my face im the dirt. My helmet flew away and I had a little wound right above my eye. K got back up and everything was fine. I tried to canter again but I just couldn't. My riding instructor got so angry at me and told me how important it is, to get the horse to listen to you. I felt so ashamed of myself and just wanted to apologize. After the last failed canter attempt the instructor said it would be easier to give up. I brought him in his stable and went back home crying. It wasn't the fall, it was the fact that I couldn't controll him and that my knstructor would now be angry at me. When things like this happen our instinct is to give up. But I'll stay strong. I'll go this path even if I have to crawl uphill with my two bare hands. I won't give up. Sorry for my spelling, english is not my first language:) Please feel free to correct me. Thank you equine community for staykng by my side
Don't be afraid to fail, if you take on this sport there will be fails, but there will be powerful wins, every time you get thrown, every time you get back up it's just a part of our sport, and we're proud of it!
Am I the only one who almost cried because this is so beautiful and I love the motivation I love these because I ride horses and when I get scared and I watch these and they help me so much. 💖💖💖
i find these edits so emotional and inspiring. they make people believe that you will get somewhere if you try and to never give up. and if you fail. you try, try again. horse people go through so much, both horse and rider. they make that special bond that can never be broken. i’ve been riding/ been around horses since i was a baby and it’s something i will never regret. i want everyone to know that you should never give up on something you have dreamt of. don’t let people say you can’t ride or say bad things, laugh at you, because YOU CAN. YOU CAN DO WHAT YOU BELIEVE IN. YOU CAN ACHIEVE YOUR GOALS, IN YOUR DREAMS. NEVER LOOK BACK!! ❤️❤️
We knew what we were signing ourselves up for. Blood Sweat Disappointment Happiness Frustration A lotof trips to the hospital We still signed up you want to know why It’s becaus us equestrians our strong and determined but mostly brave. 💖💖💖💖
Being an equestrian means you have a bond with an animal that could kill you in a second, but you somehow trust them with your life and they trust you with theirs. Being an equestrian isn’t just being a athlete, being an equestrian is having a connection, a bond, friendship and a soulmate for life. The fact that people have the nerve to say it’s not a sport, JUST MAKES US TRY HARDER. *It’s my life and I love it.*
@@EliannaCH Yes seriously, I'm just saying a fact, without bees we would have nothing to eat, the animals would have nothing to eat, the horses would have nothing to eat, so all in all bees are way more important then horses.
haters will hate you cant run you cant hide you stand your ground and you figh, you fight for what you believe you stand your ground for that purpose, dont listen to them, dont be afraid of fail dont be afraid of those who dont believe in your passion dont listen to those who hate. hope this comment made your day
The relationship and bond you build with a horse can never be broken, no matter how far away you are. Love is like the sun. It’s miles and miles away, but it’s always there, and you can always feel it. Horses are so much more than just animals. They are amazing creatures who not only 𝚌𝚑𝚘𝚘𝚜𝚎 to obey us, but also 𝚌𝚑𝚘𝚘𝚜𝚎 to love and take care of us. They can break our bones, but never our hearts, no matter what. We will always love them, and they will always love us. It is so much more than just a sport. It’s a relationship and bond that takes years to form, and will NEVER be broken.
Thank you, I broke my foot when my horse slipped and felled on his side and I’m rehabilitating my foot and started to ride last week and I have never been happier and this was a big mental boost❤️❤️
I got my first ever horse 3 years ago. Her name is Jules and she’s a Morgan mare…and I can tell you that she is the most complicated horse I have ridden. But I love her for what she does for me. She’s teaching me that life isn’t easy and everything doesn’t go your way. I will never give up and when ever I think of giving up I think of how far i came! YOU have to keep pushing forward and you WILL get there! Keep going and do what you love to do!💞
This makes me emotional, I love my sport, I love my life, I love my horses. Every time I ride, I forget all the problems in life. There is a sense of freedom that comes with horses. It’s the closest thing to flying I will feel when I am on a horse. It’s not easy, it takes guts and strength. So before you tell me it’s not a sport, YOU. THINK. AGAIN. You may get hurt, but I get hurt, get back on, and do it all again. In baseball, football, or basketball, it takes 15 people to win, in my sport, it takes 2.
I’ve have been riding since a very young age, by the time I was 9 I lost my love for it. People told me riding is not a sport, she’s better then you, she can do that amount of strides, she can jump that height. It brought me down it brought me down hard. Truly it’s the hardest hit I ve ever taken. I took about 2 months off and changed barns and I got back on the horse and worked hard. At the age of 11 here I am jumping 2’6 at shows how did I get here? I got back on I rebuilt my confidence I surrounded myself with people who believed in me who believed I can do it. Ya I might not win every show but you know what it makes me want to work harder and win next time. Did McLain ward win every class of course not. Now for the people who think I am a horse girl or horse back riding not a sport I forgot about you because riders are some of the people who have worked the hardest it’s not like lacrosse where you pick up the stick for popularity points it’s not like soccer so you can be cool we have worked harder and harder to reach our goal to keep going and you know what it’s worth it it’s so worth it. Keep going keep reaching because things don’t get handed to you
Ok so I'm a little late to this video but my mare Maddy droke her withers with me on her I flew 7 feet today was my fiest time back on her in 6 months when you say you can't you must brake that wall and go for forward even if you are scared of might happen . My life would of never been the same if I quit what i love.
We try our best and we fall because we can start to feel fear and start to get scared either if it’s the jump, the crowed, scared of falling off by hitting something there are so many more things to be scared of and fear in horse back riding, so for those of you who ride horses, never give up and just blame it all on the horse and just give up on your dreams in horse back riding, you can’t always win, so stop blaming the horse and just admit that it was you and do it again!
I love this motivation. It has helped me get through riding my 5 year old mustang in the ups and the downs. But the bond is sooooo true bc I halter and saddle trained this mustang that I adopted from the BLM and she was completely wild and now after owning her for about 3 years, I have been jumping her. It kinda funny how some unwanted mustang could go from scared and alone to be my best friend ❤️❤️ Thank u Stella 🐴❤️
YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!! Love this so much!! It's so inspirational!! I'm very negative about myself and I wish I were more positive about my future and my school but I'm not... I love these kinds of videos. Thanks so much for making this!!
I've Seen this and cry because all in the video is true. The People said it isn't a sport or the horse makes all😶 we can break everything and even die. We entrust our life to our horse and for equestrians; for us, it's more than a sport. This is all for us and the horse is a Partner for forever❤ when you have a horse, you won a best friend 💯❤
I wanted to give up riding so bad because I hated falling off and I got so mad at the horse for blaming it on the horse and not taking advantage for myself right when I watched this I understand that don't give up what you do and keep fighting for what you love thank you for making this video now I am riding and I'm becoming a jumper
Are you scared to ride your horse? Scared you are going to die from one little mistake? Not getting back in the saddle for one little fall? All the questions that stop us, ask yourself.. “What would happen if I died?” You’d think, I died from my joy in this. If you quit, the horse quits. Your teammate, your legend, your best friend. Get back in the saddle, be confident trust your teammate, your royal best friend. You aren’t perfect, neither is the horse. The horse can throw you off, but you get back on. The only way to be an equestrian is to keep fighting. Keep fighting through the days of riding. Don’t quit, this sport... Is a naturally born instinct. ❤️
the trainee jockey my parents won’t let me take lessons either. We have enough land. And my mom rode horse for 13 years. But she had to stop because she got married and pregnant.
It's LOVE. To know the partnership, the trust, loyalty, affection & the magic of a HORSE. Its an addiction, but to the true horse person, it's life. Without a horse, life is empty. Falls happen. They either make or break you. A real horse lover gets up & back on. We don't quit. This is our world. The horse is everything. Some call us crazy ( I jump) but we call it LOVE. If you're lucky enough to truely bond with your horse, you've experienced a miracle. It's a dept of emotion that's unexplainable. 2 souls become 1. Your lives depend on each other's. Jumping is dangerous, complete trust is required.
Should never give up on your dream. I know that a horse could also most kill me but I will still be doing what I love doing. And if I die because of a horse I would be happy cause I know that I died doing what I loved doing and didn't let anyone be in my way.
I fell off into a fence once and it knocked my confidence but with time and determination I took it step by step, one by one and now I am learning to jump and riding without anyone next to me again because I was scared and that is fine when we fall, we get hurt, when we get hurt we cry, when we cry, we become stronger, so when you say can’t carry on anymore because you fell off once and it hurt just think about that
When it comes to People saying Horse riding is easy all they do it’s Talk Talk Talk but when we say get on a horse and see how easy it is they are to scared, my brother does that
I get so anxious about cantering but I did jumping once and I loved it. I’m going to get there, if it’s the last thing I do. It doesn’t matter about anything but me and the horse in the moment, I can do it. I can overcome. Thanks for inspiring me.
After not being able to ride for years. Not fitting in the small town where I am. The 4H girls that hated me for years. I found someone that is giving me lessons. Finally after a hell of a ride the past two years. I finally get to start living my dream and I’m going to work my hardest every damn day and get to where I want to me.
So many of the clips are falls from showjumping which is the discipline but watching the falls and the poles dropping just make me want to ride more and jump more I want to go ride my horse RIGHT NOW
There is no connection greater than ours with horses not one. they may buck rear bolt but in the end we ride them the next day. We do not give up on them. Who here is an equestrian I am.
I’m 11 years old and fell of one of the school horses while cantering I broke my hand in 4 places. I was nervous to get back on but I still did and horseback riding is the best sport I’ve ever done!
If you fall, don't give up. DON'T GIVE UP! YOU CAN DO IT! YOU CAN DO IT, IF YOU BELIEVE IN YOURSELF! NO, IT'S NOT EASY, BUT JUST KEEP BELIEVING IN YOURSELF! PEOPLE SAY IT'S NOT A SPORT. PEOPLE SAY YOU JUST SIT THERE. PEOPLE SAY ANYONE COULD DO IT. *NO!! IT'S NOT EASY. YOU CONTROL THE HORSE, YOU DON'T JUST SIT THERE. YOU FALL, YOU COULD DIE, BUT D O N O T S T O P B E L I E V I N G I N Y O U R S E L F* GOOD LUCK, YOU CAN BE A MASTER!
I love this.. i just im so.. scared if i fall.. when i fall first time i hurted myself.. i cant even breath when i falled.. but if i wanna be a good rider.. i dont just want to be scared but im scared everytime..
It is a sport and it’s hard! We lose horses, we fail and we get back up and do it again! My trailer fell off the truck on the highway because my dad didn’t put it on right, and right after that me and my horse went out and won the 1D. Some people don’t deserve to have these majestic animals, the people we gave my horse to after he tore a ligament took him out five weeks later and blew his leg out, they are still riding him today, he’s in pain and they don’t care! I took care of him and they don’t! It’s hard and I start crying every time I see something of his, I have told myself so many times “I need to, I need to do it for zoom” and every time I go and win something it may only me $20 but it’s still something and I put the work in for it. Most the people I know personally have it handed to them with 1D professionally trained barrel horses, and some put in the work and train their own horses. It’s not easy.
Why we love our sport: 1.We feel safe 2.Horses are our hearts 3.We can't love footballs or soccer balls but we can love horses 4.It dosent hurt us it's hurts us physically but it dosent hurt our heart 5.We concer our fears 6.We can do it 7.We are brave 8.It is are home 9.Its are life 10.We live for it, we love it , we stay for the joy,the happieness and not for the pain, for the words 'I quit' We stay for our horses! For us! If we leave our hearts will cruble into pieces we have to do it for our horses and us. Ty, hope this helps!
nothing like watching this after i rode a very green pony for the first time and it was bolting and didn’t stop and the saddle was slipping... Anyways this was a great video!!!
Just recently I got on a medium pony named daisy she’s a grey Appaloosa and i just got my canter and she heard a shovel go against the ground and galloped out of the arena I was terrified still am but I continued jumping and leasing her Evan tho that was probably my worst fall yet so I watch these videos to help gain my confidence Evan tho I do just fine riding
One time my sister told me to my face “horseback riding isn’t a sport” I got so mad we have to train someone who speaks a different language, we have to trust that a wild animal is gonna listen to us, we fall off of something that is 7 feet tall going 60 mph (around that), the horse dosnt do all the work we train them we “steer” them, and our horses are our pets outside of our homes🐴🏇🏿💝
I have a horse and I have been really nervous and scared to ride again. My horse has been acting up lately and its been scaring me. Shes never been like this. My trainer doesnt make it any better. She yells at me for making a mistake even when I addmitted that I made a mistake. She scares me. I am a very emotional person and she is very scary. I want to keep going but it's hard. I have a show this weekend. Im very scared. I dream of becoming a famous rider but right now, I dont know if I can keep going. Thank you for making this. It has made me a little less scared but I am still nervous. Thanks
bout 2 days ago i fell off my ottb mare i’m pretty scratched up and my sister was putting me down saying she will never be a big showjumper but i am not gonna let her dictate me and my horses abilities i am going to prove to her that she is not just an amazing showjumper but a badass barrel racer too!!
We are gonna go through pain sadness horrible horrible pain but we deal with eat because we don’t wanna give up on that horse yes we might get kicked we might just might get bucked off or thrown off but does not mean we are gonna give up on that one horse just like that we go through the pain but there is ALWAYS a reason yes people say why do you do it it’s such a dangerous thing that you could die but yes we might get badly injured but just remember this don’t let anyone make you scared to get back up and go back on that horse because you know you can do it but just please remember this it’s NEVER the horses fault
I had my first fall today. Wasn't the worst, but it wasnt a good fall either. I'm riding this horse in a show Saturday and Friday. Im a bit nervous, considering last show he bolted and bucked, and this was our last ride before the show. He just has been so hyper lately. He is becoming so unpredictable, it feels like his training is going backwards. I just want my bombproof horse back... They one that was too lazy to trot. The one that never spooked. I just want to feel safe with him again.
I know I'm rather late (lol) but this is one of the best motivational videos I've ever seen. I don't know what it is about horses, but suddenly it's like I'm an entirely different person when I'm riding; I'm not afraid to speak up, nor take risks. Today, my trainer asked us if anyone was willing to try cantering and jumping without stirrups, and I was the one to volunteer. I even fell off, yet after the lesson I told her that I wanted to try bareback next. Btw, what songs did you use? I like them :)
I am terrified of my horse Smokey because he is so big and even though he is the laziest horse I have ever met I still feel like he is going to hurt me, but his video taught me that it is ok to be scared just don’t let that go to your head. And that if I want something bad enough I will go for it and not let that fear take over me
There's this quote i really like. "Sometimes you cant get rid of the fear so you get on and do it afraid" The best horses are the ones who teach us. Im telling you, you can go far you just gotta go for it
Any negative comments will be deleted and you will blocked. Enjoy!😋
PJ Equestrian I think that’s taking it a little to far
Animal Lover for ever no it’s not cause she does not want hate I get that you would also not like to get hate
Rose Bo hate is a part of life. I’ve learned to except hate. If someone hates on my videos I won’t care. Every one has an opinion
@@animalloverforever6559 sometimes an opinion can go too far, like anything ... And it also makes others feel down no matter who it was aimed at, this video is supposed to be motivation NOT bringing people down & on motivational videos that are trying to bring u up the last thing u want is one of those stupid immature comments that just bring u down again...
Hi, love your videos! What app do you use? If it's on a computer or laptop, let me know.
In golf, you don’t fall in love with the ball.
In football, you don’t fall in love with the football.
In soccer, you don’t fall in love with the soccer ball.
But being an equestrian....
*you fall in love with a horse.*
And this, people, is why it’s so much more than a sport.
Because a horse can break your bones, but it’ll never break your heart.
Crazy_Panda Girl These words are true.
Nothing
I repeat, Nothing
Is stronger than a bond between horse and rider.
Go read Kobe Bryant’s poem and you’ll understand that your statement isn’t completely true
Well, a horse can break your heart. If it dies, 99% of the time, it’ll break your heart
Honey.. they shatter your heart when they leave your side on this earth :(
So true
People say this isn’t a sport.
How is golf more of a sport then horseback riding? All you do is hit a little ball into a hole.
Anyone can do it.
Horseback riding on the other hand, not everyone can.
We continue getting hurt, falling off, getting kicked, because we love our sport.
We put up with the pain, the sadness, the problems, so that we can encounter the happiness.
The joy.
This is our life. We do this *for a reason.*
*It is worth it. Don’t quit.*
You just helped me. I feel like nothing moves forward. As if I'm stuck. I have got a horse. He isn't mine but I'm the only one riding him. I love him but we are going through a hard time. It is always a risk when I'm riding him. Sometimes I think about quitting but I just can't give up on him. It's just always when I think "now we fixed the problem. He did well for over three weeks" and than he does it again. And again. It feels as if I'm trying to climb a mountain and every time I think I got to the top I'm falling back down again. But you are right. We do this for a reason. It's worth it. I live for the tiny moments where everything is perfect and we are cantering through the forest. The moments when he walks next to me without a lead rope. I have to stay strong for him. But sometimes it is so hard. I'm sorry for writing such a long text and if there were mistakes in it. English is not my mother tongue.
I agree with this. Being able to ride a horse, it’s a gift that only some of us get. I didn’t grow up with horses, my family doesn’t ride, I was just born to ride.
yes
Bridget Webber lol same with any other sport...u srsly used the most lame sport as an example
i’ve been riding for 10 years and i also play golf, both are sports. but golf definitely isn’t as easy as you think lmfao
I've seen a lot of equestrian motivational edits, and this one is by far the best
Yes it sure is Tara 😉
And the one that is called “so you still think it’s easy?”
Actully there is a vid called we made the impossible possible with spots for 3 years it makes me cry!!
Horse riding isn’t just something. it’s everything, we put our lives on the line for what we love. Being able to ride a horse is a gift we are born with.
When we fall, we get back up for a reason. True Leaders are great horse riders, you have to take charge, be loyal, kind, caring, and have patience. Horse riding takes time. once at the beginning of a lesson, my horse reared and I fell off, I got back in even though I was in pain, we went to the ER after my lesson, I had a broken big toe, sprained foot, and twisted ankle. It
Didn’t stop me, I knew I shouldn’t have gone to my lesson the next day, but I did because I care about my passion, my dream.
Problems with some people:
1. They say Horse riding isn’t a sport
2. They ask why you do it because it costs a lot
3. Horses are Nasty and dumb
4. It’s a waste of time, blood, tears
5. When you fall, why do you keep riding?
All of this is not true. Those who say it is, just have had a bad experience. (I don’t want to be mean btw)
Exactly every person I ask well have you rode before they all say yes and I have fallen or my horse wouldn’t listen and I was like omg please I have only rode 2 years fallen 6 times and been hospitalized cause of one. I have come a long way and it will never be a waste of time
rude i love horses
this helped me so much I broke my arm and I just lost my confidence but watching this it's made me think we all fall but we get back up we ride like we are like an equestrian and that's what's makes us special and I'm proud of being of one :)
same thing happened to me I fractured my arm 2 years ago and I was scared every time I got back on that horse. My instructor asked if I wanted to switch horses but I just couldn't leave him.
I did that I broke my elbow bc my horse galloped off with me and I didn’t want to get back on bc it hurt but it was like a rush that went over me and I jumped back on and now it’s the only thing I miss everybody asks if I want to sell him but that’s the last thing I want and I’m determined to keep going even if this keeps happening he will be amazing when I can sort him out now I have only been riding a few years and he is 6 but I won’t give up on him or myself and I hope this helped you out a bit and anybody else who sees this just remember being an equestrian is a test if something bad happens and you give up it’s not the right thing for you but if you keep going your brave and determined and it’s the right thing for you x
I broke my arm two years ago on my little pony and I guess I was afraid to get back on and ride but here today I now have a 16hand horse that works like magic
Tracey Rich I took about 5 falls in a year 😂 but I wasn’t ready for him and should never have bough5 him
i never rode a horse, therefore never broke a bone :)
I think people say horse riding isn’t a sport because there is so much work, blood, and sweat that goes on behind the scenes. They don’t know all the things we do we we aren’t being timed.
Non equestrians also don't see all the subtle cues, the balance, core and leg strength required, the hours, days, months and years of working with horses to learn new skills to perfect! moving up the levels and shows. they definitely don't get that we have a teammate and partner to work with. Horses have their own mind!
I fell out of my love for riding after my mother passed and we moved away from our barn. But after watching someone else gloat about their sport I realized how sad it was to say,” I used to ride horses.” No. I begged my aunt to take me to a barn and I thrive off these videos. I rarely go to the barn but I’m working on getting back in the ring with my own horse again. I want my sport back I want to be able to say,” my sport? I ride horses.”
a bond with a horse is like stepping into a whole new 🌎 💜🐴
"You're already in pain. You're already hurt. Get a reward from it!" I needed that
"He who says he can and he who says he can't are both equally right"
"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate but that we are great beyond measure"
"It's not about how hard you get hit, it's about how hard you can GET hit and keep moving forward"
"To be able at any moment to sacrifice who we are, to become who you want to be"
"I will show you how great I am"
This helpt me alot I got scared of my own horse. The reasons where that everytime we canter he would run of with me on his back. He stopt responding to me I felt that everything was gone and after watching this I slaped myself in the face saying I need to stop bringing myself down and start again from 0. Now almost 1 month later I am cantering, jumping bareback and even learning how to ride bitles.
I'm so happy! :D
This is happening with me now and I’m trying to get over it, it just freaks me out so much, when he goes into a canter he spookes and I’ve fallen every time I ride him to the point I’m not wanting to ride him because I know I will fall
@@imkellymccauley8458 I know what it feels like. My horse doesn't spook easily. but maybe what can help is just to keep him on a circle. This helped me gain my confidence again and now I am cantering again feeling happy and free I even did a gallop with him! I hope it will get better soon.
I'm in a dark place right now and this helps me live to my fullest
This has inspired me and I’ve loved horses since as long as I can remember and now this makes me need one
For anyone asking why we get back up when we fall...... It’s because when we fall we become a stronger and better rider! Even if our confidence is knocked it’s makes us stronger!, we obviously don’t want to fall off again so if we get up and do whatever we were doing we are going to do it better and stronger than before!
This is why we don’t give up!
*edit* We fall because we take a risk, if you don’t fall your not pushing yourself :)
I have recently had a terrible fall off of a horse I trained myself, after that I’ve not been motivated to ride her and I’ve lost some confidence with that horse but watching this has made me motivated to go out and ride her and give her all I’ve got! Watching this reminded me everyone has falls and troubles with their horses and I need to just get back on and ride with my heart💗 thank you
For my first pony I had a spooky crazy mare who threw me off every time I rode her. I wanted to quit and didn’t see the fun anymore when every time I rode I just got hurt. It was hard to remember why I loved the sport so much but my mum wanted me to get another pony to try remember. I wasn’t sure I even wanted another one but then I met my perfect pony. He was so caring and sweet and took such good care of me, he was 27 but I didn’t care I still loved him anyway. I still have him and he has been amazing all the time I have had him, he has brought all my confidence back and is truly perfect. He is being retired now because of him age but I am going to keep him for a companion horse as he is one in a million and I could never let him go. He has brought me on so much and I have now done things that I never thought I could ever do.
So for anyone who ever has doubt:
*it is worth it so get back on your horse and remind yourself why you ride*
So you just gave up on the mare? No offense but all you did was avoid the problem until you believed there wasn’t a problem at all..
“It may last for a minute, an hour, a day, or even a year. But if you quit, that pain will last forever”
This really helped me and I wanted to share why:
So, it was a normal, rainy day and I was riding a quite new horse at our stable. Everything was good until we got to the canter. First of all I couldn't bring him to canter and when I did he bucked me off. I fell off and hit my face im the dirt. My helmet flew away and I had a little wound right above my eye. K got back up and everything was fine. I tried to canter again but I just couldn't. My riding instructor got so angry at me and told me how important it is, to get the horse to listen to you. I felt so ashamed of myself and just wanted to apologize. After the last failed canter attempt the instructor said it would be easier to give up. I brought him in his stable and went back home crying. It wasn't the fall, it was the fact that I couldn't controll him and that my knstructor would now be angry at me. When things like this happen our instinct is to give up. But I'll stay strong. I'll go this path even if I have to crawl uphill with my two bare hands. I won't give up.
Sorry for my spelling, english is not my first language:) Please feel free to correct me.
Thank you equine community for staykng by my side
moody girl wow, I don’t have words but I believe in you , don’t give up...remember how the wind goes through your hair...how amazing it is. love it
@@isijoo3854 Thank you, means a lot
Don't be afraid to fail, if you take on this sport there will be fails, but there will be powerful wins, every time you get thrown, every time you get back up it's just a part of our sport, and we're proud of it!
Am I the only one who almost cried because this is so beautiful and I love the motivation I love these because I ride horses and when I get scared and I watch these and they help me so much. 💖💖💖
No you aren’t I cried also❤
i find these edits so emotional and inspiring. they make people believe that you will get somewhere if you try and to never give up. and if you fail. you try, try again. horse people go through so much, both horse and rider. they make that special bond that can never be broken. i’ve been riding/ been around horses since i was a baby and it’s something i will never regret. i want everyone to know that you should never give up on something you have dreamt of. don’t let people say you can’t ride or say bad things, laugh at you, because YOU CAN. YOU CAN DO WHAT YOU BELIEVE IN. YOU CAN ACHIEVE YOUR GOALS, IN YOUR DREAMS. NEVER LOOK BACK!! ❤️❤️
You

Inspiration is power.
We knew what we were signing ourselves up for.

A lotof trips to the hospital
We still signed up you want to know why
It’s becaus us equestrians our strong and determined but mostly brave.

Definetely one of my favorite equestrian motivational videos!
Being an equestrian means you have a bond with an animal that could kill you in a second, but you somehow trust them with your life and they trust you with theirs. Being an equestrian isn’t just being a athlete, being an equestrian is having a connection, a bond, friendship and a soulmate for life. The fact that people have the nerve to say it’s not a sport, JUST MAKES US TRY HARDER. *It’s my life and I love it.*
Horses are the most important and beautiful animal in the whole wide world 🐴🐴🐴🏇🏇🏇🐎🐎🐎
Important?, I'm sorry, I'm a equestrian myself, but, bees the most important, without bees, we would DIE.
@@martielottering5649 seriously?
@@EliannaCH Yes seriously, I'm just saying a fact, without bees we would have nothing to eat, the animals would have nothing to eat, the horses would have nothing to eat, so all in all bees are way more important then horses.
@@martielottering5649 YUp it's just the way I read it
@@EliannaCH Oof.
When you say, I want to go riding or do something with horses, people will say “you don’t wanna do that. Of course you do!! THEY don’t wanna do it💕💕✨🥰
haters will hate you cant run you cant hide you stand your ground and you figh, you fight for what you believe you stand your ground for that purpose, dont listen to them, dont be afraid of fail dont be afraid of those who dont believe in your passion dont listen to those who hate.
hope this comment made your day
Music is just a LIIIIIITLE loud but this is still so motivational tysm for uploading
WE CAN NOT STOP LOVEING WHO WE ARE AND NEVER LEAVE SOME BODY YOU LOVE WE ALL WAY THERE FOR EACH OTHER
The relationship and bond you build with a horse can never be broken, no matter how far away you are. Love is like the sun. It’s miles and miles away, but it’s always there, and you can always feel it. Horses are so much more than just animals. They are amazing creatures who not only 𝚌𝚑𝚘𝚘𝚜𝚎 to obey us, but also 𝚌𝚑𝚘𝚘𝚜𝚎 to love and take care of us. They can break our bones, but never our hearts, no matter what. We will always love them, and they will always love us. It is so much more than just a sport. It’s a relationship and bond that takes years to form, and will NEVER be broken.
Thank you, I broke my foot when my horse slipped and felled on his side and I’m rehabilitating my foot and started to ride last week and I have never been happier and this was a big mental boost❤️❤️
good for you!
How are you doing
I got my first ever horse 3 years ago. Her name is Jules and she’s a Morgan mare…and I can tell you that she is the most complicated horse I have ridden. But I love her for what she does for me. She’s teaching me that life isn’t easy and everything doesn’t go your way. I will never give up and when ever I think of giving up I think of how far i came! YOU have to keep pushing forward and you WILL get there! Keep going and do what you love to do!💞
This makes me emotional, I love my sport, I love my life, I love my horses.
Every time I ride, I forget all the problems in life.
There is a sense of freedom that comes with horses.
It’s the closest thing to flying I will feel when I am on a horse.
It’s not easy, it takes guts and strength.
So before you tell me it’s not a sport, YOU. THINK. AGAIN.
You may get hurt, but I get hurt, get back on, and do it all again.
In baseball, football, or basketball, it takes 15 people to win, in my sport, it takes 2.
man this made me emotional. i'm proud of my sport
Love it ... I love horses and I’m equestrian. It’s Amazing, it’s hard to ride and understand a horse but it’s worth for me.
This is so true for every equestrian! But let me just say.. it’s another story for those who work with green mares...
I’ve have been riding since a very young age, by the time I was 9 I lost my love for it. People told me riding is not a sport, she’s better then you, she can do that amount of strides, she can jump that height. It brought me down it brought me down hard. Truly it’s the hardest hit I ve ever taken. I took about 2 months off and changed barns and I got back on the horse and worked hard. At the age of 11 here I am jumping 2’6 at shows how did I get here? I got back on I rebuilt my confidence I surrounded myself with people who believed in me who believed I can do it. Ya I might not win every show but you know what it makes me want to work harder and win next time. Did McLain ward win every class of course not. Now for the people who think I am a horse girl or horse back riding not a sport I forgot about you because riders are some of the people who have worked the hardest it’s not like lacrosse where you pick up the stick for popularity points it’s not like soccer so you can be cool we have worked harder and harder to reach our goal to keep going and you know what it’s worth it it’s so worth it.
Keep going keep reaching because things don’t get handed to you
This helps me through so much things 💔😢
This is EPIC! AWESOME!!! WELL DONE!!
Ok so I'm a little late to this video but my mare Maddy droke her withers with me on her I flew 7 feet today was my fiest time back on her in 6 months when you say you can't you must brake that wall and go for forward even if you are scared of might happen . My life would of never been the same if I quit what i love.
We try our best and we fall because we can start to feel fear and start to get scared either if it’s the jump, the crowed, scared of falling off by hitting something there are so many more things to be scared of and fear in horse back riding, so for those of you who ride horses, never give up and just blame it all on the horse and just give up on your dreams in horse back riding, you can’t always win, so stop blaming the horse and just admit that it was you and do it again!
I love this motivation. It has helped me get through riding my 5 year old mustang in the ups and the downs. But the bond is sooooo true bc I halter and saddle trained this mustang that I adopted from the BLM and she was completely wild and now after owning her for about 3 years, I have been jumping her.
It kinda funny how some unwanted mustang could go from scared and alone to be my best friend ❤️❤️
Thank u Stella 🐴❤️
i listen to this after every horse show or track meet that i don't do in and it always motivates me to keep working to do better next time
YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!! Love this so much!! It's so inspirational!! I'm very negative about myself and I wish I were more positive about my future and my school but I'm not... I love these kinds of videos. Thanks so much for making this!!
I've Seen this and cry because all in the video is true. The People said it isn't a sport or the horse makes all😶 we can break everything and even die. We entrust our life to our horse and for equestrians; for us, it's more than a sport. This is all for us and the horse is a Partner for forever❤ when you have a horse, you won a best friend 💯❤
I wanted to give up riding so bad because I hated falling off and I got so mad at the horse for blaming it on the horse and not taking advantage for myself right when I watched this I understand that don't give up what you do and keep fighting for what you love thank you for making this video now I am riding and I'm becoming a jumper
Are you scared to ride your horse? Scared you are going to die from one little mistake? Not getting back in the saddle for one little fall? All the questions that stop us, ask yourself.. “What would happen if I died?” You’d think, I died from my joy in this. If you quit, the horse quits. Your teammate, your legend, your best friend. Get back in the saddle, be confident trust your teammate, your royal best friend. You aren’t perfect, neither is the horse. The horse can throw you off, but you get back on. The only way to be an equestrian is to keep fighting. Keep fighting through the days of riding. Don’t quit, this sport... Is a naturally born instinct. ❤️
I LOVE THIS! This is what i need to come over my fear🤩
I really wish I could ride it’s just my parents can’t buy a horse but my uncle has a horse I can train I just got to let my parents agree
How about taking lessons?
Simply Tarra Why dont you get lessons first? its a bit fast to jump into getting a horse without experience
You probably shouldn't buy a horse with no experience. Get lessons first 😉
the trainee jockey my parents won’t let me take lessons either. We have enough land. And my mom rode horse for 13 years. But she had to stop because she got married and pregnant.
I was told I wasn’t good enough to do anything on my horse today by my mom i really needed this
It's LOVE. To know the partnership, the trust, loyalty, affection & the magic of a HORSE.
Its an addiction, but to the true horse person, it's life. Without a horse, life is empty.
Falls happen. They either make or break you. A real horse lover gets up & back on. We don't quit.
This is our world. The horse is everything. Some call us crazy ( I jump) but we call it LOVE. If you're lucky enough to truely bond with your horse, you've experienced a miracle. It's a dept of emotion that's unexplainable. 2 souls become 1. Your lives depend on each other's. Jumping is dangerous, complete trust is required.
Should never give up on your dream. I know that a horse could also most kill me but I will still be doing what I love doing. And if I die because of a horse I would be happy cause I know that I died doing what I loved doing and didn't let anyone be in my way.
I fell off into a fence once and it knocked my confidence but with time and determination I took it step by step, one by one and now I am learning to jump and riding without anyone next to me again because I was scared and that is fine when we fall, we get hurt, when we get hurt we cry, when we cry, we become stronger, so when you say can’t carry on anymore because you fell off once and it hurt just think about that
Thank you for this! I had a bad fall 3 months ago and broke my ankle. I’m still fighting my way back.
When it comes to People saying Horse riding is easy all they do it’s Talk Talk Talk but when we say get on a horse and see how easy it is they are to scared, my brother does that
I get so anxious about cantering but I did jumping once and I loved it. I’m going to get there, if it’s the last thing I do. It doesn’t matter about anything but me and the horse in the moment, I can do it. I can overcome. Thanks for inspiring me.
This motivated me so much tysm !!
After not being able to ride for years. Not fitting in the small town where I am. The 4H girls that hated me for years. I found someone that is giving me lessons. Finally after a hell of a ride the past two years. I finally get to start living my dream and I’m going to work my hardest every damn day and get to where I want to me.
This is the one video that has got me to stay in the sport and to stay fiting i had a bad fall i brok 1 ribe and my leg
This is great! I hate how people say they can ride just because they went on a pony ride!!!!!!!!!
I have been riding since I can remember had a terrible fall but wow I feel more confident then ever
The best motivation, wauw..
So many of the clips are falls from showjumping which is the discipline but watching the falls and the poles dropping just make me want to ride more and jump more I want to go ride my horse RIGHT NOW
There is no connection greater than ours with horses not one. they may buck rear bolt but in the end we ride them the next day. We do not give up on them. Who here is an equestrian I am.
Nothing will break our love with our horse
whatever happens, always remember that it’s never the horses fault
Wow, this is so good. I can't even begin to explain. I cried so hard watching this video (fyi I've never cried because of one). It did it's job
I’m 11 years old and fell of one of the school horses while cantering I broke my hand in 4 places. I was nervous to get back on but I still did and horseback riding is the best sport I’ve ever done!
This really made me feel much better as i do riding and its been getting pretty hard...💓
If you fall, don't give up. DON'T GIVE UP!
YOU CAN DO IT! YOU CAN DO IT, IF YOU BELIEVE IN YOURSELF! NO, IT'S NOT EASY, BUT JUST KEEP BELIEVING IN YOURSELF!
PEOPLE SAY IT'S NOT A SPORT. PEOPLE SAY YOU JUST SIT THERE. PEOPLE SAY ANYONE COULD DO IT.
*NO!! IT'S NOT EASY. YOU CONTROL THE HORSE, YOU DON'T JUST SIT THERE. YOU FALL, YOU COULD DIE, BUT D O N O T S T O P B E L I E V I N G I N Y O U R S E L F*
GOOD LUCK, YOU CAN BE A MASTER!
This is a beautiful edit this is are sport and no one is going to destroy are feeling of trust 🐴
I love this.. i just im so.. scared if i fall.. when i fall first time i hurted myself.. i cant even breath when i falled.. but if i wanna be a good rider.. i dont just want to be scared but im scared everytime..
It is a sport and it’s hard! We lose horses, we fail and we get back up and do it again! My trailer fell off the truck on the highway because my dad didn’t put it on right, and right after that me and my horse went out and won the 1D. Some people don’t deserve to have these majestic animals, the people we gave my horse to after he tore a ligament took him out five weeks later and blew his leg out, they are still riding him today, he’s in pain and they don’t care! I took care of him and they don’t! It’s hard and I start crying every time I see something of his, I have told myself so many times “I need to, I need to do it for zoom” and every time I go and win something it may only me $20 but it’s still something and I put the work in for it. Most the people I know personally have it handed to them with 1D professionally trained barrel horses, and some put in the work and train their own horses. It’s not easy.
we aren't scared to fall, we are scared to never ride again
Thanks I needed this me and my horse Remi are having tough times
thank you for making this.
Why we love our sport:
1.We feel safe
2.Horses are our hearts
3.We can't love footballs or soccer balls but we can love horses
4.It dosent hurt us it's hurts us physically but it dosent hurt our heart
5.We concer our fears
6.We can do it
7.We are brave
8.It is are home
9.Its are life
10.We live for it, we love it , we stay for the joy,the happieness and not for the pain, for the words 'I quit'
We stay for our horses! For us! If we leave our hearts will cruble into pieces we have to do it for our horses and us. Ty, hope this helps!
Love it great editing
At 4:25- 4:27 I don’t do well in math ether lol😂
nothing like watching this after i rode a very green pony for the first time and it was bolting and didn’t stop and the saddle was slipping... Anyways this was a great video!!!
Who else got off their bed or something and went straight to the stables? 😂😭
Jackie Hartley I want so bad rn but it’s to late
i dont fucking have stables i’m a broke child :(
@@happyjoanna8 Same. I take lessons, but I don't have a horse of my own yet.
Keyword- Yet
Jen Mill Same
Just recently I got on a medium pony named daisy she’s a grey Appaloosa and i just got my canter and she heard a shovel go against the ground and galloped out of the arena I was terrified still am but I continued jumping and leasing her Evan tho that was probably my worst fall yet so I watch these videos to help gain my confidence Evan tho I do just fine riding
I remember watching this last year and crying lol
This helps me a lot thank you
One time my sister told me to my face “horseback riding isn’t a sport” I got so mad we have to train someone who speaks a different language, we have to trust that a wild animal is gonna listen to us, we fall off of something that is 7 feet tall going 60 mph (around that), the horse dosnt do all the work we train them we “steer” them, and our horses are our pets outside of our homes🐴🏇🏿💝
At 0:52 I thought she was going to get stepped on😱
Those poor horses..
Equestrians - we fall to rise
I have a horse and I have been really nervous and scared to ride again. My horse has been acting up lately and its been scaring me. Shes never been like this. My trainer doesnt make it any better. She yells at me for making a mistake even when I addmitted that I made a mistake. She scares me. I am a very emotional person and she is very scary. I want to keep going but it's hard. I have a show this weekend. Im very scared. I dream of becoming a famous rider but right now, I dont know if I can keep going. Thank you for making this. It has made me a little less scared but I am still nervous. Thanks
bout 2 days ago i fell off my ottb mare i’m pretty scratched up and my sister was putting me down saying she will never be a big showjumper but i am not gonna let her dictate me and my horses abilities i am going to prove to her that she is not just an amazing showjumper but a badass barrel racer too!!
We are gonna go through pain sadness horrible horrible pain but we deal with eat because we don’t wanna give up on that horse yes we might get kicked we might just might get bucked off or thrown off but does not mean we are gonna give up on that one horse just like that we go through the pain but there is ALWAYS a reason yes people say why do you do it it’s such a dangerous thing that you could die but yes we might get badly injured but just remember this don’t let anyone make you scared to get back up and go back on that horse because you know you can do it but just please remember this it’s NEVER the horses fault
I had my first fall today. Wasn't the worst, but it wasnt a good fall either. I'm riding this horse in a show Saturday and Friday. Im a bit nervous, considering last show he bolted and bucked, and this was our last ride before the show. He just has been so hyper lately. He is becoming so unpredictable, it feels like his training is going backwards. I just want my bombproof horse back... They one that was too lazy to trot. The one that never spooked. I just want to feel safe with him again.
So good!!
I know I'm rather late (lol) but this is one of the best motivational videos I've ever seen. I don't know what it is about horses, but suddenly it's like I'm an entirely different person when I'm riding; I'm not afraid to speak up, nor take risks. Today, my trainer asked us if anyone was willing to try cantering and jumping without stirrups, and I was the one to volunteer. I even fell off, yet after the lesson I told her that I wanted to try bareback next.
Btw, what songs did you use? I like them :)
I am terrified of my horse Smokey because he is so big and even though he is the laziest horse I have ever met I still feel like he is going to hurt me, but his video taught me that it is ok to be scared just don’t let that go to your head. And that if I want something bad enough I will go for it and not let that fear take over me
There's this quote i really like. "Sometimes you cant get rid of the fear so you get on and do it afraid" The best horses are the ones who teach us. Im telling you, you can go far you just gotta go for it
I found this video again 🥹❤️
But we don’t FALL we dismount with a style and that always my saying 💞🥰
We do one of the hardest sports on the world and we are so so strong
