Lol since I don’t think I ever gave a update on KZfaq- Theroy was total wrong, I lost all confidence with no stirrup work and I’m still struggling to this day with it. 🙃 ...fun 🤣

The amount of times Justine lands on Charloltte’s neck but some how manages to get back in the saddle is amazing

4:15 it’s like she pushed you back I the saddle 😂❤️

Is i awkward to say I've never fallen off but i want to??😂

I love the fact that when you landed on charlottes neck, you almost everytime somehow got back on the saddle. like wowwww

You seem to have a habit of doing VERY well keeping your seat or getting your seat back when something goes wrong, I honestly wish after 7 years my own seat could be that good :')

Me: Falls off over Florence’s neck. The barn moms: “Omg, Rebecca did you see that? She fell off better check she’s okay!” Me trainer and my friends: * Dying with laughter *

*when you jump like an angel goddess unicorn at home but like an over-hyped frog on coffeinne and a rockstar after 2 all-nighters at shows*

Then... Holy Holly came along!! Love ya Justine

honestly sometimes i feel like a loser sometimes when people ask me when i started riding. i do tell them the truth, which is that i started in 2010. i'm mostly stable in all three gaits, still need to work on my canter but i've never jumped before. i have a barnmate who started riding just last year, and she's already started jumping. i moved barns a lot because my trainers were strange, but now i start at my new barn next wednesday, and i can't wait. i'm just scared of being ashamed of my riding skills as a rider of 8 years. i'm a very fast learner and i'm quick to correct myself if i make mistakes but my first trainer only let me trot on a lungeline until i was like 11-12. that's when i moved barns, and that's when i started cantering. my trainer at my new barn didn't tell me what the right seat was in a canter, so i just tried my best to look like the girls in the youtube videos i watched, which worked, except i slowly started to lose my stirrups in canter. i'm still working on keeping my heels down in canter, because my knees just instinctively grab onto the saddle and that pulls my legs up, and i'm quite embarassed about it, but i know that with work, i'll improve and soon have a horse of my own!

I just realized that in her first English riding lesson she’s wearing western boots. Edit: I wasn’t judging I was just making an observation, I ride in sneakers and stuff all the time

I just think it’s so cute when riders fall out of the saddle and onto the horse’s neck and the horse pushed them back up into the saddle I know it’s uncomfortable to the horse, and the horse is trying to get the rider off it’s back, but it’s like the horse is caring for you. So sweet

3 years?!?! I would’ve never guessed! I started western lessons at 12 y/o (but I don’t really count it) and now I just started English (at 20 y/o, I’m almost 21) and I LOVE it! I just jumped a tiny x-rail in my second lesson last week and it was fun! You are a big inspiration, no matter how old or young anyone can get anywhere if they set their mind to it and work hard for it!

This is the only “riding transformation” video I have watch more than 20x😂

Don't rush getting a horse, hun. I've been riding ten years now and I'm eighteen currently and never have I leased or owned a horse but I still do what I live and make bonds with all different horses. But you have improved a lot for three years! Good job and keep up the good work!

6:23 the guy in the background is having some trouble there😂😬

I watch this video every time I need inspiration Edit: OMG OMG OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you so much for the like!!!!!!!!!!! I love you so much ❤️ ❤️ ❤️

I’m sorry for your fall but you make me feel kind of better that you can still be successful without owning your own horse. Thanks for the confidence! It’s contagious

8:20 - good thing you were wearing a helmet! Glad to hear you were okay afterwards :)

I've been riding for 10 years of my life, and I wouldn't be me without it. My old pony, who sadly passed away from colic 2 years ago, took me so far in terms of skill and bravery, and my current pony, Chester, is an amazing jumper, and has taken me so far in that. I recently did my first competitive 2'6 course, and got a 3rd for individual, and 2nd for team, which I was really proud of, as I didn't really jump on my old pony. Horse riding is such a magical, amazing sport. I honestly couldn't live without it. This is a REALLY long comment

Me: I’ve been riding for 9yrs! But my trainers only let me jump an x jump....... Her:I jump Oxers at ur age! Me: jealous

OMGGGG ONLY 3 YEARS GIRL!!! NOOO IT LOOKS LIKE YOU HAVE BEEN RIDING FOR LIKE 12 YEARSSS OMGGG

Can we all just take a moment to appreciate the epic save at 4:17

You inspire me because I have been riding for just slightly less than a year, I just moved onto canter. You have made me believe in a short time I can achieve SO much!

When you fell on Charlottes neck I just thought to myself... memories😂 I have done that twice at the same show and the 2nd time my horse that I used decided to go for a hand gallop while I was completely on his neck😂 ly Justine❤

I've fallen off of my horse so many times I can't even count and you are right it's just the risk that comes with the sport🐎🐴🦄🐎🐴🦄🐎🐴🦄!!!!

The moment you realize... you’ve been riding for 6 years and Justine is still better then you 😭

omg this is making me really sad and kind of look at the place i'm riding at, because i have been riding for like a year maybe a bit less and i've only slightly cantered once and i'm in a class with like 8 year olds and i'm 14 i just feel like i could be such a better rider if these girls weren't holding me back. But i can't leave because i'm in the middle of a term and I have no where else to ride at so i'm basically stuck walking and trotting. AND i'm being instructed by like 11 year olds that think i dont know anything and i just feel like i'm being held back. But i am so grateful obviously to just even be able to have the opportunity and money to be able to ride but I just feel like my skills are a bit wasted and taken for granted.

You progressed amazingly in only 3 years ! Keep up the good work . I've been riding for almost 9years now (it's going to make 9 years of riding in June 30th) and I've only started jumping 1 year ago ^_^ . I don't lease or own (it's hard to lease in my country) even though I'd love to but I'm going to stick with lessons for now ^_^. I'm sure that you will own very soon ❤️

Wow you improved so so so much in only 3 years! I remember I didn't even attempt to canter until after a whole year of riding 😂

i’ve been riding for 7 years and haven’t gone to pf like how your amazing

Last Tuesday was my 3 year riding anniversary too! And believe it or not I fell off!😂😂😂 (I ended it with a bang too.)

🐴I am so glad that your ok after that fall. I am so glad with how far you have gotten in those 3 years of riding. Charlotte defiantly taught you a lot. 🐴

And you're positive you've been riding for 3 years? Because you have me fooled looks like you've been riding your whole life!

I love this video!! I’ve been struggling with my no stirrup work and I every single time I start bouncing to the side and then the other side I’m just trying to hold on and stay on!!! But this helps me to think about harder things I’ve done like when I fell off because my horse spooked at the barn cat while cantering and we had just gone over a jump and straight to the ground I went so thank you for this reminder!!!! It really helps me out!!!❤️👍🐴🐎🤯

Your so good for only 3 years of horse riding. Congratulations for your three year aniversery. We all love you and your riding.

when Justine uploads on your birthday - OMG YES

how your eq has come a long way! congrats!!!

I have loved watching you and your horses! It is amazing to see your journey and how far you have come! Keep up the great work!

This year will be my 9 year anniversary and I cannot help but agree that you learn most about riding from different horses. Despite having learned my basics from wonderful riding teachers, I feel that the variety of horses/ponies/donkeys/mules I've ridden have taught me the most about this sport (including the famous forward roll down the neck).

It really is amazing how everyone progresses at their own time and pace! Good job and I hope you have an even brighter riding future!❤️🦄

if you pause at 4:15 you get the best jumping position ever XD I love your videos so much and you're such an awesome inspiration :)

I have been riding for 5 years.... and your better than me! Keep it up! 👍👍👍👍👍

I can’t stop watching this LMAO ur such a good rider. An inspiration to the whole equine community. ❤️

I had to do no stirrups for a month I fell off about 5 times, but in the end it was all worth it because I tried really hard to do my best and it all paid off because I got my stirrups back first and I am a lot stronger now! Because a couple of the other girls at my barn also had to get their stirrups taken off too. It also doesn’t help my pony is extremely bumpy (even my trainer said) So I kinda got into a rhythm and just slid off 😂 PS I love your channel 💖

The first time I rode a horse I rode bareback...let’s just say I needed help staying on. She’s my own horse too. She was green broke when I got her. I know a lot of people say it’s a bad combo but I’ve got to learn with her. The only time someone has fallen off her was with not me on her. I still have yet to fall off and I’ve been riding for 2 years. She was pregnant and like 4 months from having her foal so she was really jumpy. We ended up sadly loosing the foal. It wasn’t her fault it was more so the fault of the person we were boarding her with. But that’s a long story. Sadly my horse has been through a lot and she is now half blind in one eye. She wasn’t in our care and was being taken care of by a horse trainer. Hopefully we can get her back to being as solid as she was a while back. She used to not get scared by much even things she was unsure of. Now she spokes when we just drop something well feeding her or walk up on her bad side. We are going to go into desensitizing her. And maybe after she goes to a different trainer she’ll be good. We are also planning to breed her this year. On Saturday we are also buying a mare named Raven who is having a foal in July. So we get a foal this year to! We have two horses and soon 3 (4 when the foal is born) we love all our horses and we would work with them now if not for the cold weather. So I’m hoping for Summer soon! Sorry this comment was so long.

can`t stop watching- can`t- stop- I CAN`T STOP WATCHING IT! I have watched this video at least 20 times because it`s SO good and- I just don`t know why but I just keep watching.

You inspire me so much to rise even though I can't......I love horses!!! LIKE LOVE LOVE LOVE THEM!!

Transformation goalssssssss!👏👏👏😍😍😍😍

Amazing! 💓 u! It's my 1 year anniversary of riding in 4h! ❤❤❤❤Well 1st year of riding anyway💓💓💓

Its really amazing to see how much you improved in your riding!

Thank you so much for sharing some of the not so great jumps too! It's great to see an equestrian on youtube post these videos! You're a great rider!

I like your riding !!!!. That appy was so pretty though

1:59 “Oo Wow much skill XD”

I’ve watched this over and over and can’t stop maybe I like your story lol

Wow! You're such a great rider, you deserve your own horse!! I love you so much! I hope you get better soon, but you rode through that refusal thing like a boss!! 😃❤

Whenever I fall off I don't take it personally. One time I was riding my lease horse (I still have him he's amazing) and he is really young. One day me and my friend while I was riding my lease horse, there was a snow storm the day before so my horse got super excited because he's 7 years old. I didn't take the fall personally and all he did was canter and put down his head, he didn't even buck. Luckily I wasn't hurt at all. Everyone one kept asking if I was ok and I was like I'm perfectly fine, falling off can be fun sometimes , and it is best not to take it personally

I’ve fallen off once during horse riding and I’ve been riding for around 3 and a half years and I haven’t done jumping, I’ve only done a little cross pole on the ground and it felt like nothing. However I’ve been close to falling off around 10 times and because I have such a good seat/balance I stay on. The reason why I have such a good seat is because sometimes we do an hour lesson without stirrups which rlly helps you to gain a good seat.

I'm looking into horse riding for therapeutic reason so i can get out of my comfort zone and help with anxiety. it looks great so i might get into it!

Wow that was really inspirational! I just started riding this year and being a beginner and struggling to even control the horse properly it's really cool seeing you make all this progress in 3 years with consistency and dedication. And like you I don't have a horse of my own and probably won't for a while but it seems like there are lots of ways to get the chance to ride a horse regularly and even show it! Hope you get your own horse soon and with the experience you have its probably better that you waited this long because you've got the experience on lots of different horses and it will be easier for you know when you find horse that you'll click with and of course you'll be so much more experienced in riding and caring for it. You've also got an amazing attitude. With an attitude like yours you'll go far. You're still so young and so much life ahead of you. Keep up the great work and great attitude!!

Early! Your riding transformation is amazing! You are so amazing!! You look like you've been riding forever! Edit: I'm glad you were fine when you fell, I fell off about 14 weeks ago and broke my arm, I'm just now getting back on horseback... again I'm glad you're fine.

I'm so happy for you!! Today was my FOUR Year riding anniversity!!

I’ve watched this soooo many times but I still can’t get over how great your first half seat was! The first time I tried a half seat my arms bounced around a lot and my chin hit my chest lollll...

I use to watch ur vids all the time thank you creating such masterpieces for everyone’s child hood❤️

OMG GURL IT LOOKS LIKE YOU HAVE BEEN RIDING FOR 100,000,000,000,000,000,000 YEARS! Also I'm really glad you're okay after that fall XD

This video is so amazing, but at the same time I'm crying. I'm in a depression loop hole, whenever I'm riding I feel on top of the world since I am re-training and lesson horse that was a pasture item for 2 years. But whenever I watch one of these videos I can't stop crying. I feel like my trainers are holding me back. I can't afford leasing and I can only jump around 2 ft and am so embarrassed because I've been riding for double what Justine has (6 years) If anyone knows how they could help me please comment!

I used to do western saddle but when I started to watch you you inspired me and I am now trying english saddle. And I love it Thank you Justine!

i really like to see these kind of videos! i rlly like seeing people improve so much, keep going! ❤️

This is my favorite horseback riding story! I’m going to do horseback riding soon! You help me ally and have funny horse videos! Love you! ❤️

My riding story: Started riding when I was 2. I am 11 now, 4 months until i’m 12. I was in a group lesson with only walking and trotting and the ponies I rode were DEVILS. Because I was little I wasn’t strong enough to hold the ponies back when they tried to go down for grass, so I think at that time I slid down the neck and fell off more times than I had lessons. The next year, I did my first “jump”. I was so proud of myself even though it was just a little raised pole on the ground that the pony trotted over. 3rd year, I started riding Gizmo, a bay tobiano 12.2hh Welsh Pony gelding type B. He was huge for me when I met him, and he was the FATTEST CREATURE EVER. I was constantly doing the splits when I was riding him, and the amount of times he bucked... 0w0 I also did my first 20m circle in canter. 4th year and 5th year were just any old years. 6th year I grew out of Gizmo and had to find a new pony and found Leo, a piebald mixed breed 13.0hh gelding. He taught me to do proper jumps, not just trotting over them. I slid off the side many times. 7th year, I grew out of Leo quickly as I had many growth spurts, and I started riding Gadget, a 13.3hh piebald mare. Also Gizmo’s half sister. She was just a regular pony and got me through the year. 8th year things started to get more serious. Most of the barn horses and ponies were sold, and so I moved to a new barn. There I met Honey Princess, or Honey for short. She was a palomino Welsh Pony section C, I don’t know what height. I rode her for a while, when one lesson day I was walking to Honey’s stable to tack her up and a tall black horse caught my eye. I asked what his name was and my trainer told me he was called Blackjack and asked if i wanted to try riding him in my next lesson. OF course I accepted. He was beautiful. And so the day came, and I tried riding him. THE MOMENT I sat on him, I felt a connection. He taught me to canter without stirrups, and jump spreads and oxers. Then a few months later, I came for my lesson as usual and didn’t see Blackjack in his stable. I asked if he was still in his field and my trainer said that he had been sold. I was so heartbroken that I moved back to my old barn to give that another try. That brought me to the next year, the 9th year. First horse I rode there, Roman. A 14.0hh piebald gypsy cob gelding. I thought he was OK, and went for a hack on him. There, he bolted and it was the first time i galloped and of course i fell off. That put me off riding him and looked at the other horses. I saw Jeremy, a 4 year old piebald 13.3hh gypsy cob gelding. I asked if i could try him, and my trainer warned me that he was spooky and a bit green. I tried him anyway and fell in love with how fast he is. I went on a hack with him and somehow built up the courage to try a gallop. I did it, and stayed on. He was going so fast for a pony, I didn’t want to look down. But stupid me did anyway. I looked down and saw the grass whizzing below me, and I realised i was slowly overtaking my trainer who was on a much bigger horse. I still love how he resembles a little racehorse. A few weeks later, I did my first show. I was on jeremy, and it was a 45cm hunter trials. He bolted in the warm up arena and i got back on, and when it was my turn to go i didn’t even get to the first jump before he spooked at a bush. I fell of and wasn’t aloud to get back on because of health and safety. I couldn’t control myself I was so upset about it and I was yelling stuff like “I DIDN’T EVEN DO THE FIRST JUMP!!” and “SHOWS ARE STUPID!!”. I cringe when i think about it. Then, I did my second show. A 55cm showjumping class. I completed the whole course without practicing, and only knocked 1 pole down. I got 8th out of 14 people and I was happy about it because it made up for the first competition. I still ride Jeremy to this day.

I just keep coming back to this video whenever I need motivation/inspiration 😂♥️

I. CANT. STOP. WATCHING.THIS VIDEO! I LOVE IT AND YOU SOOOO MUCH! 💕💕💕💕

You have an amazing ability to get thrown forward onto a horse’s neck after a jump and you’re actually able to push yourself back into the saddle (even after getting thrown out of the saddle and in front of it O_O)! XD I wish I could do that, anytime I get thrown out of the saddle onto the horse’s neck I am going down! XD Been riding 12 years and still can’t do it. O_O The only refusals and bad jumps I stay on for are the ones where I manage to keep my butt in the saddle. XD

1:00 that’s the EXACT same place I used to go to becuase I remember those exact blue. Chairs 😂❤️😭

I love your personality! You’re so full of energy!😆❤️

I keep watching this over and over☀️

Also happy 3 yr anniversary! I literally just passed my 8yr anniversary a few weeks ago

7:55 Abort mission!! I LOL'd so hard at that part because, girl, we've all been there! I'm glad you were not very injured!

I love people like you. You don’t brag about your successes and aren’t afraid to share your failures. ❤️

You’ve improved so much (this video is like 3 years old) I love rewatching these videos because the way people are learn to ride else where, I live in South Africa and the way I’ve been taught is very different, I’ve been riding for just over a year now!

did you get private lessons? bc you have ridden 3 years and jumps rly high and i have also ridden 3 years but im still Learning canter :/

I love how when you did your first jump you overfolded WAAAAY to much.

Your transformation is inspiring! It's wonderful to see someone develop. I'm glad you didn't get hurt to badly

You are such an amazing rider! I’ve been riding for four years in dressage, but I can tell you excelled quickly at jumping!

Oh wow I didn’t know you’ve only been riding for three years?? But then again I also thought you owned charollette😂

Omg when I cantered for the second time ever in my life, on a 23 years old horse, I lost my balance and did the same thing you did at 7:48, but he stopped luckily🥵

I'm so glad you're ok from that fall. It was actually really educating to see it and for you to explain it. You're awesome though, I'd have fallen off immediately.

I LOVE YOU SOOOOOOOOO MUCH!!!!!!!! NEVER STOP MAKING VIDEOS! Love Julia

My 3 year riding anniversary is on February 8th!!!🎉🎉🎊🎊

You moved up pretty quick

I’ve watched so many riding transformations but by far this is my favorite

Ahh you are sooooo god at riding, like I’m getting really inspired of you, I’m maybe getting a pony! And I’m really excited! Love your channel!

Oof.. Charlotte looked so much like the pony I always ride.. Except the fact that Charlotte was an amazing pony, and the pony I ride is ... well... SUUPER LAZY

I LOVE YOU!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi Justine! Just wanted to say that this video is amazing, you are so brave and talented, and that this video changed my whole riding experience. I used to be very anxious while riding, sometimes I would cry when things went wrong, or I would blame myself excessively, or I would get anxious if my horse went fast. But when I saw this video and saw all the trial and error you went through in your riding experience, and how amazing you have become, I completely changed my perspective. I realized that I'll never know what'll happen unless I try. I became less anxious, and I went back to my daredevil, spirited self. I just recently found an amazing horse that I love so much, and we are best friends. I also did my first canter jumps and going fast on this big horse, and I now enjoy the thrill of going over big jumps and having the feeling of flying when going fast. I let go of my fears and conquered them. I feel so free and happy knowing that I can accomplish my goals fearlessly. Thank you for amazing quality content.

This is really good and inspiring😊 your def my favorite youtuber

go check out yourRidingSuccess on youtube, she is grande Prix dressage rider, I was really bad at stirrupless trot but her advice really helped :)

How high have you jumped? ❤️❤️🐴

I was scared to jump before i saw this video! You maked it look so easy, and inspired me to beginn jumping lessons! Thanks😃

I love how u keep going even when u get hurt ive been riding for 11 years since i was 2 and i love it ive riden 12 horses over 11 year and im now on copycat which u can find on my channel but ubove all its amazing to see someone not stopping and just going for it
