Wierdly, you get used to it ! X

Hahah it’s great. But then again I’m 5ft tall 27 year old.. so short stirrups have always been and forever will be a thing 😩😂

Good riding? This is horse abuse you asshole

@@marlies6155 how so my dude? It was well ridden, the horses head wasn't up in the air, indicating the rider used more leverage with his feet and body, rather than just yanking the bit

@@marlies6155 How do you suggest that he be stopped? Although it is odd that it seems like none of these kids have been taught how to bridge a runaway.

@@ciara2837 ... I agree with you. It was well ridden. Best thing to do is just keep the horse steady and try to keep it between your hands and your legs as best you can… Even though jockeys don’t have their legs down around the horse. To try to do anything harsh like a one rein stop with a horse that’s that young and out-of-control is much more dangerous than just keeping everything steady. Anything too drastic could cause the horse to stumble and fall.It was a tough situation to be in and I think the jockey did a great job.

Sometimes u just have to wait till they calm down

With some horses, it's better for them to calm down before catching. Some horses can bolt and even go running with other horses (like if they are competetive and see a warm-up as competition) and that obviously creates a dangerous situation. People are aware of the loose horse as the man on the intercom informed of it. We doknow what we are doing, trust me.

They also can’t really do anything to stop the horse

There’s almost no chance your gonna stop a horse when the rest of them are galloping off it’s easier to stop them when everyone is stopping

They care. The question is what can you do about it? They've got to wait for him to get into a place where he can be stopped at.

There is usually no “abusing” but aight

Yeah and no leg braking

Maddelski yes there is. Lmao.

Wait, these are KIDS?! Cool! Every “The black stallion” fans dream!!! That movie was awesome!

@@redlight4739 well, 1000 or more horse die per year because of this shit. They break their legs. If you don't believe me, search on youtube or google. There is so many videos of it... And don't tell me that it's ok to drug and whippe you'r horse. It's abuse. We ruin these horses life...

Exact same! Did you notice that he was super calm and trying to graze when they were circling? No wasted energy there!!

@@sophieboone9974 yh

Me too, when he was in the back I still believed that he could win.

@@annabelleharden1732 yeah me to always dreamed of a blue or strawberry roan and I got a blue roan colt two days ago but I got all the work lol

These are probably Connemaras.They are used for lots of sports that require endurance and energy,but are considered as ponies cause of their height.

They are mainly British Riding Ponies.

Sometimes they can be thoroughbreds who were just to small for keeping up and racing with the bigger stronger thoroughbreds

Polo ponies are basically like small thoroughbreds, I think a lot of them are Polo ponies

@@palomathevictorian I don't think Polo ponies are a breed, just a type, like hunters and cow horses and racehorses and coach horses. My own TB was a polo pony.

She didn’t ‘yank’ the rein she was trying to hold him for the 50 LB kid on his back

@@marenmclaughlin if that was true y did she let go and go to the left side? She yanked the rein and then watched the kid gallop off. The child had been holding the pony just fine. She comes up and it gallops off

@@lunamagicath1658 you clearly haven’t been riding very long or you’ve never had to deal with a hot horse. Not once did she “yank” or jab the reins, she literally just grabbed them as the horse isn’t standing still obviously when there’s a loose horse. These are racehorses she’s dealing with, they are going to be hot. Better to let go of a hot horse that knows it’s about to race than get stepped on and keep holding him while he rears and spins etc.

@@sal9014 no she yanked it. I have ridden for 10 years and have dealt with OTTBs. I have also retrained spooky horses. She pulled it as you see from her arm movement. I never said anything about she should keep holding on I said she yanked it when changed sides and watched the kid gallop off. The kid was fine without her “help”

LMAO

I didn’t even notice till you pointed it out 😂😂

They were doing it the whole race. I don’t understand why, that shouldn’t help them at all

Presumably from a polo background

I'm confused

@Painted Dreams me too lol

Tbh, they weren't that fast My pony runs faster

@@jasleengyani5136 funny one

I bet that was annoying

@@rhiequestrian2537 i did see somthing, couldn't tell exactly what. Sorry that happened.

I saw that you were cut off! So annoying!

And the chestnut

@Grace Carberry Deery no . Tb &arab crosses

@@rachelw8506 not sure why they are doing “pony” races as both those breeds are horse breeds. And if a Arabian/Thoughbred cross is a Anglo-Arab

@@country18lover because they're under 14.3 ..... not rocket science welsh Cross arabs are also used most racing ponies are roughly around 13.2 to 14 hh on average 🙄

@@rachelw8506 i’m pretty sure they’re connemara. both thoroughbred and arabs are considered horse breeds and a lot of people are saying they are.

@Grace Carberry Deery these are pony’s so no tbs not sure what kind but new forest could be but these look more thinner then a new forest so I’m not sure. Sorry tb part was already answered but again not sure what kind of pony breed it is I like to know as well they are sure cute haha

Often arab & tb crosses

Thoroughbreds

@@chocolatedunpony2153 wrong

@@rachelw8506 no because then they would be anglo areb

@@whitneykorevaar2161 so they're often anglo arabs then or arab cross welsh or tb cross welsh who cares

i dont think that you know anything about horses

Educate yourself person

@@furriesareweird hahaha..nice joke

I don't think you know what ponies look like.

@@NoThankUBeQuiet I now what a pony is I used to have one but they just look skinny cause my freinds has a colt and those look exactly like her colt and my plus I have been riding for years so don’t tell me what I know and what I don’t

Often arab & tb crosses

Generally mostly TB

@@kooki85 no lol

@Gi Gi actually my hunting pony was a tb and ws 14.2 .

@Gi Gi they are pretty common you can find alot on horsequest at the moment and on average they're roughly 15.2 to 17.3 living in the hunt world you see plenty. Dont be so ignorent i know what my hunters are , how big they are and what I'm looking st for my next pony .

Probably because the pony went for it and the rider fallen of in the warming up. It can happen even in other horse riding sports. Isn’t uncommon but when it does it sure is a shame. Because the horse or pony spend his energy before the race or completion even started and then your in a disadvantage. That is probably why the rider decided to not race in the end. Hope fully this explains it a bit for you. ^^

Yes, it could. Catching him is the issue.

Their saddles are done tight enough so they shouldn’t move and the reins are tied so even if they got over the head they wouldn’t go round their legs

Often arab & tb crosses

@@rachelw8506 спасибо

@@rachelw8506 they looked full sized. Why they called it pony?

@@samirhairlover2673 they dont look full size lol they're under 14.3hh which makes them a pony

@@rachelw8506 ok lol thanks for your reply. Name of breed?

There exited

There is literally nothing wrong here 💀 and obviously it’s pony horse racing, that’s the whole fucking point.

Would you say any different if it was kids galloping their ponies in a field or at a pony club?

This literally encourages drugging horses and ponies to make them go fast on the track which leads to more falls, more deaths and more stupid people I no this world Maybe think about your words you two obviously don’t know anything about the abuse *cough* sorry racing industry 🙄

@@cayleigh6248 Hahaha i’m laughing, maybe you should educate yourself since it’s you who seems to be uneducated in this. They do NOT drug the horses, that is just as illegal as it is in any other discipline & will get you consequences. Social media only shows you what ppl want to see, when you’re on a real race track you see how extremely caring they are about the horses. There is lots of falls and injuries in every other discipline, stop acting like it’s just racing just because that’s what you heard somewhere. And I can assure you LOTS of race horses are way happier than many horses in other disciplines. You don’t race horses who can’t handle it or do not like it. Do some actual research before spreading false information ❤️

@@mathilde1439 how bout you look up how many horses die a YEAR from horse racing specifically and Caring for them you have got to be kidding me that loose horse was trying to get away from the pain just like other loose horses on a race track do you not see how skinny the poor horses are and if you know so much about horses then tell me why so many horses are killed on a race track god help you

Thousands of horses die in every other horse event in the world and I've seen more people pulling on horses faces in dressage, pony club and barrel racing competition! Yet no one bats an eye at those, do they..

Pulling on the reins is the generally accepted way to slow/stop a horse.

You try and stop a galloping thoroughbred

Um..elaborate? Nothing wrong here at all lmao

Children tend to ride ponies.

It's gallop not gallup

@@abbygoneill lol you post the trot. You hold a half seat in the canter/gallop so you're not thumping around on their back. Not sure where you "learned to ride" but I've been riding for 16 years across 2 continents and have never been told to post in the canter/gallop.

​@@equestrianliv2507 and you know your argument is dead when you have to resort to criticizing their spelling ;) but if we're gonna go there, why not look at Abby's "ur," "u," "lihter," and "its"

They're not posting. And the intent is to slow the horse down.
