Thanks for watching! I hope this video was helpful 😊 If you want more riding tips, here’s a video I did on how to improve your seat when riding: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/aZdxm6dmqp6qeKc.html

Fun fact: horses can hear and feel your heartbeat from 6 feet away

I have no goals I just like watching Tucker... such a nice horse

I've been riding for 3 years but this has helped me so much. I keep slipping out of my stirrups sometimes, sometimes not, and I never noticed what could've been my mistake.

I love a coach who doesn't pull any punches -- like, "it was your fault you fell off, now let's talk about how to make sure it doesn't happen again". Ha!

I'm nearly 60 and have never learned to ride though I have dreamed of it most of my life. I live vicariously through these videos.

Title: HORSE RIDING MISTAKES - 10 WORST MISTAKES Thumbnail: Literally riding the horse backwards

Yay! You got a wind proof mic!! Lol. My goal is to not fall off in front of my kids😳🤣 its ok if I do. I’ll just get right back on!

When you realize that you lost the habit of making those mistakes 4 years ago and low key feel like a savage 😅🤣

Something that may help with posture (it helped a lot with me) is you know how there are those huge teddy bears? At first when they’re brand new they’re all nice and stuffed and kinda stiff? And then there’s the one that’s been very loved and it’s kind of floppy and squishy. Be the brand new one that’s big and proud. Also you and your horse should walk together with purpose and be connected

i remember how i kept loosing my stirrups EVERY time i rode when i just started riding. ahh the memories it brings back hahaha

I really do want to go horseback riding. I need to learn how to ride a horse first.

My riding goal is exactly what you said! Be able to communicate confidence and safety even if I’m feeling anxious!

I just started riding again after 30 years! I love your videos. So helpful thank you.

I felt like I was getting a virtual riding lesson watching this xD

Very clear and helpful information. I like that you get straight to the point and don't fill your video with unnecessary babble

Tucker is such a good horse he’s so patient!!

i really wish my coach taught me the one-rein stop earlier because I'm 7 years into my riding and just learned it through a green young thoroughbred who bolts every chance he gets. thx for all the tips, much appreciated.

My current goal with my mare is to build her confidence and independence (and mine!). She’s buddy sour and it’s been something we work on daily, luckily my gelding, her buddy, is confident and doesn’t feed her separation anxiety. Love your content!

My goal is to be less afraid of horses. I'm not ready to ride (probably never will be), but right now my goal is to be able to walk beside the horse and everyone be comfortable. I appreciate your videos. I've been watching a lot of them these past few days to learn, because when you learn about something, it becomes less scary. Tucker seems nice, and seeing how he is sweet with you is really helpful, too.

Looking to hit the Colorado trails with my new Mustang, Rocco!!

I run a nonprofit organization utilizing horses for kids that have special needs, and also teen girls. I am always looking for more ways to help these kids build a relationship with the horse. Ground work ideas because (per ability) that's always first ❤️

I’ve been riding for like 2 and half years and this really helped! The gripping with your knees helped me because I still struggle with my legs moving to much but this helped me realise what I did wrong.

I'm not currently an owner or a rider, but the goal is to one day have enough land of my own to have a few horses and perhaps a goat or two. So these videos are definitely helpful :)

what I want to accomplish: being able to advance. Goal: being able to do shows.

Approx 30 yrs experience. My goal for 2022 spring/summer is to train in a rescue for my kids to ride. Half morgan, half pony mare I picked from a slaughter auction. This will be a challenge for me because I have been taking on "troubled" horses for training for many many years now and this mare is just so calm you would swear she was tranquilized. Doesn't bolt or shy. Will be putting her through all paces from round pen up to saddle and eventually finishing. I have not worked with a dead calm pony like this since my first pony when I was 10 yrs old. I kinda feel weird not getting the "problem horse". Her "problem" was no one wanted to put hay into her for 6 mo of winter and do some serious corrective farrier work to get the angle back to correct as the angle of her front hooves was too flat. Needed so much more incline so each 6 weeks was little more trim towards the right incline taking pressure off points and evening it out.

I don't have a horse yet I don't give up and I won't give up But I have a horse riding exam is this week omg If I pass I canter wish me luck I am terrified 😨 Tucker is such a nice horse 🐎

Love your videos you explain concepts so well for a beginner rider. Ty❤️

you are literally amazing!! I go riding with my friend every once in awhile, and I watch your videos everytime for a week before the lesson/ride!! you have actually made me a better rider if I’m being honest. I just actually watched your video about post trotting, and this helped me SO much. thank you for all your hard work and for making me a even better rider with your videos!!

I love these videos! Keep making them, they are super helpful. :D

This was very helpful for me, I always forget to release pressure! 😅 I’m gonna try harder to remember that and the stirrup one was pretty helpful too. I always put my foot too high and now I know not to do that. Thanks!

hi, i've been riding for just over a year and i find your videos so helpful to learn more things to do with the horses i ride ( i don't own the msadly) and i find your videos so heplful to remind me to really focus on the basics when i'm having trouble with them.

This was so helpful! Keep up the videos I will watch all of them 🥰🥰

I don’t ride at the moment I mostly do groundwork like leading and driving with my horse but soon I will start to ride and the more confident I am the better I’ll feel. Learning how to do it correct really helps so thanks for the video :)

This helps me so so much i'm going to riding school in a few months so i'm gratefully for this info!! Thanks:)

This is so helpful-- thank you for these informative and fun lessons. I love your channel! :-D

i also used to ride at a trot bareback. That was always a great time and i enjoyed learning how the horse moved and using the main plus my legs to turn.

i took lessons for 7 years and i learned how to jump and do figure 8's at canters and such. I find this very informative and i wanna say great job :D

I just started leasing a horse and am getting back into horse back riding, and these videos are so helpful! they are clear, understandable for beginners and explain/demonstrate things very well! YOU SHOULD MAKE A PODCAST!! I love to listen to podcasts in the car and I can do other things while still learning things! Thanks!

This video was really helpful!! Thanks for the tips!

Thanks for the helpful video! I had a horse for several years and didn't know any of this.

Awesome advice! Thanks! My goal is to get better at cantering!

I appreciate your channel! I decided to go riding a bit and thought it would be a great idea to learn a little before riding. I have ridden years ago occasionally but really never knew the correct form etc. Now looking forward to trying this out and going riding, thanks!

Thank you so much for the tips 💕 I'm going back to riding soon

I still have problems with pinching my knees even though I’ve been riding for a few years but this help me a lot so thanks and love the vid ❤️

Tucker is the cutest horse horse ever. Please can you do a how to sit a buck

I was riding the second time yesterday. You video helped to finalize to some conclusions. I was pinching the belly with my ankles. The mere got right into trot. That was a little to fast into going fast for me. Then the reigns where to short. I could not let them loose enough. So the mere went backwards, when I wanted to go forward.

Thank you for all your videos you have really gave me some great tips! X

I have a new horse that I’m not real confident on yet. Your videos help. Thank you!

5:15 last year I was riding this young horse called poppy,and when she started galloping my teacher told me to go faster so I pressed a bit with my heels.She went must faster then I thought and had me looping around the whole arena about 6 times,I never knew why cause I’m not that experienced thank you for this video and I hope this Thursday I will make some improvements

Great advice! My goal is to be more confident, sit better in my seat and to not rely on my stirrups so much. I’m currently taking lessons on a 16.2hh OTTB, were both learning!

I'm so grateful for ur channel I want to start horse riding soon but I have no clue how and these really help! 💕🥺

I just want to love a huge animal like that. I love riding and am considering finally making that commitment. Great video, thank you.

Great video, inspiring me a lot ! can you also talk about how to steer a horse, how to control their shoulder especially during the canter? Thanks in advance.

Very true to look to yourself before blaming your horse. It almost Always is down to bad riding. I remember the lessons I did take they actually told you to grip with your knees, it took getting my own horse at around 8 years old to get out of that because he bucked. A lot of bad riding goes back to bad instruction. I remember telling a riding teacher that I didnt have to be driving my own horse on all the time because he liked responding and going out, she told me he must be badly schooled?! Some instructors were awful back in the day...thats the early 60's in case youre wondering. I dont use bits or anything nowadays as I find I get better results without "artificial aids". I think the looking down thing is one way that horses differentiate between experienced and non experienced riders. You know how much they play up when they have a newbie on board lol. I never have that problem as whatever I do must communicate the "dont mess with this one" message to horses. When I worked at trekking centres in my holidays, riders would sometimes ask to swap horses because their mounts were being difficult and when I did, the difficult horse would instantly change demeanour whilst the horse I had been riding would gradually become lazier, eating grass and lagging behind...you know the drill.. I think the looking down thing is maybe one of the "tells" that lets them know what they can get off with, and who knows what theyre doing.

Thank You!! You have just sorted out all my main problems in a simple way that I can understand and in 5 minutes! Yey!!

Thank you! I love your videos

I've been riding western for 10 years, but im starting english in the spring to diversify my skill set, thanks for this! I'll pay attention to these things :)

Awesome tips for beginners! I'm always going to struggle with having straight arms lol. I try so hard to get a bend, but my arms are so short and my mare's neck is so long 😂

thank u for the one rein stop I was never taught at my riding school and I'm sure it will come in handy someday

Thank you so much! I’m going to my first horse lesson ever this week and now I know what to look out for!!

I have been riding for seven years but I still watched this to see if I was making any beginner mistakes. Surprisingly, I had never heard about the one rein stop before. This was very helpful, thank you!

I start to riding on monday, and i can't wait. Its a cute horse

You are really great at teaching and explaining why😜❤️

Again another great video. My short term goal is to learn to ride my new foxtrotters gaits (my 1st ever horse was an old Tennesee Walker). My long term goal is endurance competitions!

I ride in western saddle and I lose my stirrups when I have to ride in a different saddle instead of the one I used to and I set it too long. My goal is to get a horse and became a professional rider

My current goal is to help my horse be more confident on the trail

Thank you for this video. I make all those mistakes as I am a beginner and I had no idea about the one rain stop. 🙏

I like how you are so nice to beginner riders, it makes me feel better about myself ☺️❤️✨

I'm 12, I did horse-back riding for a while last year and stopped right when we started learning to canter because it got too expensive. Today, I'm currently looking for a new place to get more horseback riding lessons since the last place I went got sold and a lot of other places seem to be full lol But, my current goals are to, one: Learn all the proper care for the horse. I know basic care like grooming, picking hooves, mucking out stables, etc. But I want to learn how to do it all correctly and efficiently. And I also want to learn to do jumping and dressage. I would love to compete in shows, that those two things seem the best to me ^^

thank you for the knee part!! im still learning to canter, and my foot slips out of the stirrup quite often during the trot-to-canter transition, it definitely might be that im trying to "prepare" for the transition by gripping with my knees, i will definitely watch that carefully the next time i ride!

Thank you! Although Im novice, some problems represented in this video was very relatable and helpful, as my goal is to jump at the end of the year.

thank you for this video so glad i found it because a few things in this video i was doing wrong so thank you.

my goal right now is to get better at jumping and have more control over my mare (she is super strong haha) also I am trying to get better at riding bareback! it was my second time yesterday and I am doing much better in the trot. Hope to try cantering at some point :D

I have great posture and I actually started relying on my leg muscles, the real fun is when your done riding tho 😂

This is a wonderful refresher! Thank you!

Great video! it was so helpful.

I wanna start getting more comfortable in my galloping! Xxx

i'm currently riding a very speedy horse and bouncy that is quite a struggle to slow down/stop so my current goal is to be able to stop her easier and to not bounce as much

yes this is helpful bc im starting riding in a few days so now i know some mistakes i might end up doing

The third mistake, Putting your foot too far in the stirrup, I never thought I had to put it on like the tip of the foot! Helped me a lot! Thanks! Also! You got a new subscriber! Really helpful videos! Thanks!

Well... as for goals at the time being I’m just trying to actually sit the center without flopping all over the place 😅

I'm watching this because I'm writing a book about dragon riders and I wanted some inspiration for how they should ride there dragons.

Great video. Learned a lot.

Very helpful! Thank you!

Nice video, by the way, what breed is Tucker?

I just started so thank You for all the information

Soooo helpful! Thanks for making this content!

Goal: Do show jumping and try to win a scholarship in a few years.

That appaloosa is so pretty!! Thanks for the tips.

Every time I watch your videos I always learn something new! Your videos are amazing

I've done SO many of these! Especially the looking at the horse. As for the one rein stop, my horse is a runner so she'll get random zoomies when im on her and we cant be doing that so i make her go in circles to calm down. Super important and helpful! I've been riding for 4 years now, and i'm def improving, Even this video. I'm taking tips here lol Thanks!

The best advices i’ve ever heard thank u

I love watching and learning from you.. ur amazing !!!!

Been riding for 8 years, your video's are super nice as some kind of reminder and refresher. Makes me feel good when I can check off the things I do 😊.

This channel is great! I don't even have a horse, just learning about them for fun (or future), but this info is interesting ( I like learning). I'm a car guy but there is defiantly a part of me that wants to have/ride a horse as a regular thing.

This was extremely helpful thanks you

Thank you so much for the kind video ❤😊

I've just discovered your videos and I love them! Although I have owned horses for 20+ years I haven't had as much time to enjoy them as I wanted. Now that I am retired from working full time I am going through all the basics. I have a 17 year old Arab/Appaloosa mare I have owned since she was 6 mos old. She wasn't handled before then. She has good training and I feel comfortable riding her. She can be stubborn (disrespectful) so I want to do a lot of refresher work both on the ground and in the saddle.

Ahhh love ur videos. Soo guddd explanation with clarity 🧡🧡🧡
