Jan 21, 2008 - love the title...i hate it how people are so stupid when they say that they do everything and horse riding is so hard...cuz really the horses do most the work and riders (for showjumping) just really ajust stride and distances and take-off points and they have to be knowledgeable enough to have a sufficent warm up and thats it.

Jan 22, 2008 - yea, but the rider does alot of the training, and I mean I totally understand, horses do a big part of the work, but it is a team sport between the horse and rider. I mean it wouldn't be the same without the rider, or the horse, so really it is both, and It is hard work to ride a horse, get them on the bit, stride them to each fence correctly, and truley make it look easy, when every real rider knows how incredibly hard it is!

Mar 4, 2008 - people do a lot more than that. They also steer the horses, tell them where to go, have to give them cues for lead chages, est, and have to ride it all as well as they can, asking the horse to go fairly fast. People risk their lives at show jumping. I think that both horse and person do an equle amount of work. Yeah, I know I'm a bad speller, lol! Great video, enjoyed it!

Mar 4, 2008 - i know i do equitation/jumper and it is tough but when you have a "made" horse like the grand prix ones they have automatic lead changes and to tell the horse to go is/should be instinct at that level meaning it shouldnt require much thought or effort now when you ride a green 7yr old thorobred(i dont but just as an example) who spooks at everything and is a basketcase at shows its a different story.
Maegshorsejump Says:
Mar 5, 2008 - yes, it is different in the grand prix level...but first, you have to train the horses to do all that stuff, lol. sry for posting that last message like 3 million times! comeplete accident, lol.

Mar 11, 2008 - well you dont have to thats what a "made" horse is its when theur already trained by somone else so your job is a lot easier :P

Mar 13, 2008 - I actually don't agree with that, my horse is a 23 yr thoroughbred, ex advanced *** event horse and hes the hardest horse i've ever ridden haha i've broken horses easier than my horse. Don't get me wrong I wouldn't have any other horse, but the made ones are just as difficult if not more, which is my case. They're much more fussy and require precision riding.
TrueEquestrian1909 Says:
Mar 13, 2008 - Very true, and there really is no such thing as a made horse, becuase horses always have something new to learn just like their riders. But, many "made" horses are much more responsive, and need a rider that can give them very specific cues, so not to upset them. I mean i have riden the push button ponies to the high-srung warmbloods and tbs, But no riding is nessisarily simple or easy.
