The horses' head bobs every other step, and also hollows her back and neck when asked to go at a quicker pace, and she looks almost 150lbs underweight. I'd have to say, in my professional capacity, that horse has soundness issues, potentially lame, even if only temporarily. You should really get that checked out by a vet. Or at the least get a better farrier. Or better yet, board at a less hazardous boarding facility
I don't agree with underweight, though I do agree with a lameness issue and undermuscled. The unwillingness for forward movement is an issue, especially if she is normally a very forward horse.
Remember that the bobs u see in rising trot trough the headcamera, is because of the rider moving up and down. It is not the horse doing this with its head
She doesn't appear to be underweight to me, but I do agree she needs more muscle. Headbobbing in nongaited horses is not always a sign of lameness , especially at the trot, some horses just do it naturally, but it can be an indication if paired with other symptoms, and she does appear to be sore somewhere. Especially when I hear she is dragging her feet.
Love that u dont blame the horse! Very friendly❤ pumpkim seems like a very honest lessonpony! I noticed she looks alot to the outside when your on a turn especialy in canter, that could also be a reason why she rather would not move forward. You maby can ask your instructor if she could play around with how to bend a horse and steering with your legs and seat. With pions and groundpoles it also becomes a lot more fun for both parties! ❤
Pumpkin has taught me some very valuable lessons ☺️ yes!! I noticed that when I was watching the video back, I wasn’t sure if I had my outside rein too short or if I needed to put more inside leg on her, probably both 😂 that sounds like a fun exercise!! Thank you so much for the tip, I’ll definitely ask my trainer if we can try it 🥰
What works for me when the horse cuts the corners too much, although I’m sure you already know this, is to hold your inside leg on her, and keep it on consistently -ESPECIALLY around those corners- And I noticed that while you were cantering, her head was pointed to the outside. This will usually lead the horse to cutting the corners. I like to fox this by kicking with the outside foot and flexing the reins to the inside a little to give her an idea on what she is supposed to do, because if you do this you are telling her “I want you to look to the inside, not the outside.” But, while you do this she might start heading towards the inside, so it’s important to hold the inside leg on her when she does that. Hope this helps, and Pumpkin is adorable. 💜
Thank you so much for the tips !!! 🥰 During this lesson Pumpkin has showed me sooo many things that I need to work on, and I appreciate the advice, I’m definitely going to try this next time I ride. I’m super excited to apply this and DO BETTER 😍
when you say kicking are you saying like a tap on her side to get her attention? or..? just wondering, I am learning how to ride a horse and I don't want to do the wrong thing. I might ask my next trainer if I can afford to go pay for more riding lessons.
You can tap her on her side to get her attention, but if they don’t listen to you you can apply more pressure and hold your leg there, or you can kick a little harder. When I first started riding, I was flailing my leg around, trying to kick, but I was doing it wrong. You have to move your leg back behind the girth and use your heel to kick them. They respond better the harder you kick them, so be sure to kick them hard. If they don’t respond to your kick, use a crop. If they don’t respond to the crop on their shoulder, you can try harder, or you can take it in one hand and smack their flank. Taking it in one hand and smacking them only works with shorter crops, but if you have longer ones just hold it over your leg and smack them. To make it more clear, yes, tap on her side to get her attention. If she ignores you, kick harder. If that doesn’t work, smack her flank. But please keep in mind that horses can be sensitive, so know how sensitive the horse is before you do this. Also asking the trainer would be helpful, because they know much more about their horses than I do. Hope this helps
Thank you! ❤️ Pumpkin was reluctant to go into the corners and I wasn’t putting enough inside leg on her to push her body into the corners and against the fence. So because I have the outside rein short it was pulling her face towards the fence but not enough leg to push her body towards the bench so she was kind of just leaning to the right! ☺️
I completely related to 2:04 . I asked this one horse to trot after cantering and she did not listen at all 😀 I felt like I was losing control and it was a scary feeling.
Hi! A little tip: when you were cantering, I could see that Pumpkin was bulging her shoulder to the left, making her canter look a little wonky! One way to fix that is by tightening your left rein and sort of pushing her out to the fence. (be gentle ofc) Also, you can use a left leg yield to try to move her out to the fence so she can be more straight. Great ride btw!
Are you holding your inside hand on the saddle? I know I definitely did that when I first started cantering, if you are I think it’s why her head is facing outside and she’s not really bending inside. Try to make sure both reins are even and you outside hand is a little closer to the middle of their neck than usual, it will stop you from pulling her out. I live to see people (especially newer riders) not blame the horse when they spook and are a little silly. I love how you have her the reins after her spook so she could calm down and relax.
Yes I still have my inside hand on the saddle right now when I canter, I haven’t been given the go ahead just yet! ☺️ I give her a longer rein on that hand, I think it’s much more comfortable for her but yeah I definitely think that’s why she’s super crooked ahaha thaannkk yoouu, Pumpkins is a silly goose sometimes but she’s a wonderful lesson horse 🥰
I love your attitude about riding! I wish i found your channel when I was learning the canter. You make me want to make my own little channel just for jumping :)
New sub! I’m a beginner adult and I have been riding for about three years but only a year consistently. I have my own horse because I married into a horsey family and he has had soundness issues for the last while….I have to say it seems like pumpkin is uncomfortable. Having a fit well balanced and even horse makes learning to ride so much easier, my horse is very uneven in his canter on one side and I feel like we have been stuck for ages cutting corners and running in the trot in our downward transitions. I get super down on myself that I’m not a better rider, but recently I have cantered a few other horses (because my horse was off after getting maintenance done) and I realized how he’s just a difficult horse to canter. He’s super uphill and bouncy and he lacks strength in his left hind. It’s super easy for his energy to go up instead of forward… all I can say is being an adult it’s super easy to get down on ourselves because we can overthink the journey. I’m envious that you have such an awesome lesson barn and get to ride so many different horses! Your getting a really solid foundation.
Yess I completely agree with you it definitely does make a difference on the horse that you ride, which is why I’m very grateful I have the opportunity to ride all types of horses, each of them have taught me something unique! 🥰
I really love these videos! I think we are at a very similar level of riding, and I can relate to this lesson a lot. A horse I often ride, Bridget, has the same attitude as Pumpkin does- she can be really slow some days, or really fast some days. But if there is one thing I have to do is stop blaming her. I need to just reflect and adjust my riding like you 😊
I’m so glad you’re enjoying them!! ☺️ yes, exactly! I love Pumpkin but she’s not the easiest horse to ride and I used to be assigned to ride her a lot, I didn’t always like that I would have her but it’s these types of horses that have the most to teach us and will make us a better rider ☺️ I hope your lessons are going well!!! We have so much to look forward to!
a little tip: when your cantering, make sure your not pulling on your right rein, instead, close your left rain and instead of pulling on your right rein you just open it (I hope u get what I mean). Because pulling on your right rein, will make your horse drift to the left side. Make sure u get that inside bend
Great vlog, yeah, the stirrup thing.. I always like a little shorter stirrups, but I ride dressage so sometimes it just looks funny with my short stirrups
Aww!A lesson pony at my barn has that same forelock!😂 she also has a super long mane so nobody knows why her forelock won’t grow much!She’s also a bit of a spicy mare but she’s mostly a lazy palomino 😭
new sub!! your so underrated, and your an excellent rider!! can’t wait to see your progress 😁 i sometimes ride a sorrel gelding and he’s always so fast but sometimes you gotta give him a little kick 😂 always so speedy in the warm up arena, but then when we’re doing something else he slows down haha i have a question, whose your favorite horse, and what are you learning? are you learning just to ride, or show jumping, hunters, dressage, eventing?
Hey girl! Thanks so much for subscribing 🥹 LOL he sounds like such a cutie!! I love ALL the horses BUT if I had to pick it would Daisy, she’s absolutely perfect and has never done a thing wrong in her life 🥰 right now I’m just learning how to ride and have a good seat and communication with the horse! Ultimately I would love to do some hunter and show jumping 😍 I think I’m going to show with my barn next summer
I’ve rode such a spicy mare that she made me cry. Her name was Mercedes and I just moved up to bigger jumps when this happened and she kept refusing and bucking. And she at one point went over a jump and I almost flew off
you're also letting her throw her inside shoulder in, you need more inside let and rein. Looks like you have a shorter outside rein, so she's throwing her inside shoulder in.
Hey!! I just want to say that you are doing amazing, and I hope you continue to progress. I do however have one tip id like to share (feel free to ignore). I noticed you did a lot of clucking and kissing at pumpkin throughout the ride, and I know you said she was being lazy that day, but adding leg and forcing yourself not to cluck is a good way to get stronger in your legs! I get reminded by my trainer a lot that clucking is for people on the ground, not atop the horse. Again, I don’t want to sound rude and I do realize I’m probably a lot younger, just some advice :)
Hey girl!! Thank you so much for the tip!! You’re absolutely right, I shouldn’t be relying on my voice so much to get her moving, I’ll definitely keep that in mind next time I’m riding a lazy horse!! ☺️ I always appreciate constructive criticism and just because you’re younger than me doesn’t mean I can’t learn something from you 🥰 thank you so much for watching!
My worst ride was today, it was still quite good ig lmaoo. Actually I fell off. I fell off like REALLY long time ago, like 3 or 4 years ago for the last time and today it was awful. We was cantering with my horse and in front of us the other horse scared of a tree or smth and accindently jumped, my horse was like following the other one but mine was bucking so yeaah it was rlly good and I fell off at that point. He also almost stepped on me but luckily he didn't :DD my back hurts.
Is this lovely mare a ex trotting race horse?, The way she put her shoulder out when she comes to corners and whe way she moves in general🙂. Really cute horse and no doubt the owner loves her 🥰. Have a great day 🌞
I have a warmblood horse and my horse cant do "slow trot" only fast trot cuz she's a trotter and she's much faster than a typical lesson horse she has the fastest gallop (don't tell me how i know that) anyway she has a super fast trot it's as fast as a normal canter maybe faster. But I love her so much and rn I'll train her to have a slower trot and i still love the fast trot and will continue riding that way. :) Btw new subscriber
I sometimes ride a mare named Ella and she has a bad habbit of throwing her head down and shaking after a jump which is soo hard to sit to which makes me have to let the rains right out and sit so far back or I will go flying off xD
you're letting her look outside the ring so she's not concentrating on her work but instead she's focusing on what's going on outside the ring. Her focus should be on what you're asking of her not what she wants to focus on.
She wouldn’t be allowed to do the lesson if she was lame, I know it’s hard to tell because all you’re seeing is GoPro footage, but I assure you she’s not lame ☺️

@@julieoghestene Yea, it's hard to differentiate that sometimes. But the unwillingness to go seems equally as alarming as any head bobbing.
She doesn't appear to be underweight to me, but I do agree she needs more muscle. Headbobbing in nongaited horses is not always a sign of lameness , especially at the trot, some horses just do it naturally, but it can be an indication if paired with other symptoms, and she does appear to be sore somewhere. Especially when I hear she is dragging her feet.
It’s not her hirse

@@Gyattylicious Thank you for this I will definitely ask the trainer but this definitely helps me to understand it a bit better.
I really love watching such videos! It's like we're in the lesson with you and it can be so informative as well!
Thank you so much! I’m so glad you’re enjoying them 🥰
"Are you a beard Lady?" got me dying 😂😂😂😂

You did great just one question why on the last canter you did why was her head leaning to the right just asking not be rude!❤❤❤

what really helps with those off days gurl is to do lots of trot-walk transitions without your stirrup!! your body relaxes in the saddle!
Thanks so much for the tip!! 🥰 I’m definitely going to try this next time, hopefully I don’t have another off day next time I rode tho 🙈😂
