My first riding instructor was a drill sargant and demonstrator. She was harsh at times and made some girls cry, but boy did she teach us to ride! She gave me a lot of confidence and decades later I can still hear her voice yelling at me to bend my elbows and no belly dancing!

“That felt good? That felt good? Well, it was horrible!” Dying 😂😂😂😂

Used to have a drill instructor/ pessimist and then had a bad fall. Now starting back up riding 20+ years later I’m more than happy to have my instructor be a mix of demonstrator, optimist and talker :)

my riding instructor is definitely the demonstrator and the optimist. I really do love her, it's how i learn the best

My trainer is a mixture of ALL OF THEM! Lol, this was great!

Least the sergeant will tell you what you need, right away. A couple of my instructors are almost that direct and can spot what's going on, given the particular horse. I repeated a couple of poles multiple times because my posture went wonky, just before we got to them and my horse responded by going hilariously flexy, weeble wobbly, and squirrely all at once haha. Even more unreal, least for me, my instructors spotted it before it happened. I want to work with that specific horse again, just to solidify my posture. He's got a butter smooth canter which is so nice, though, too. Man... would love to get good footwork solidified with that one.

I love my instructor, she is strict and makes sure things get done, but she is really kind and always tells me when I do a good job 😊

my riding instructor is 3 of them, the drill sergeant, the demonstrator, and the pessimist. It depends what mood she’s in 😂

My old instructor was definitely the pessimist but a little less rude. My instructor now is literally a demonstrator, doing squats-in the ring trying to teach us how to work on our jumping performance 😂 it’s perfect for me lol

Mine is a little of the demonstrator and the quiet one!🤣🤣🤣

I am definitely a combination of the optimist, the demonstrator, and the talker. I think it's as important to point out what the rider is doing well already as what to improve. Positive feedback gives you an immediate little boost of happiness and that almost always leads to a more relaxed seat and thus a more content rider AND horse. It's an all-around win-win. I also don't like to give isolated commands but I always explain WHY and what effect it has on the horse, and sometimes that takes a lot of time. I often talk non-stop 😅 And when all the talking isn't enough, you just gotta demonstrate

I've had all of these before lol these are incredibly accurate 😂

I'm new to your channel. I'm 53 yrs old and have not been riding for about 25yrs and I am looking to get back. Your videos help me with confidence, and memory and YOUR A HOOT🤣🤣🤣🤣

OMG CONGRATULATIONS ON 100k!!!!! U deserve it and so much more! 🎉🥳

This was absolutely hilarious! Please keep doing your comedy!!

Congratulations on 100k! This is so funny!

Mine is certainly a Mix of the drill sergeant and the pessimist😂

Mine is the drill sergeant 😅🤣

Be strong! Under achiever! 😂

My instructor is really funny but firm he speaks up alot if I do something wrong! He's not soft on me and he's an amazing trainer! I'm really lucky to have him. Plus he's the best with kids! I'm 12 years old and he is the easiest adult to be around better than some of family!!

I have the drill sergeant slightly crossed with the talker definitely 🤣

You forgot the yeller- “WHAT ARE YOU DOING MORE LEG” “GALLOP GALLOP GALLOP” “TURN TIGHTER!!!!!!!”

Lol this is so good I actually just made a types of coaches on my channel the other day and now you made one… but yours is so much better!❤️❤️

THE DEMONSTRATOR IS THE BEST

Mine is a combination of the optimist and demonstrator. Right now, that's how I learn best. I do like the drill sergeant, though, on some days. I, on the other hand, am the quiet one. I just hate talking most of the time. 😅

One of my instructors is a mix between optimist and demonstrator, while the other one is a pessimist😂

OMG - YOU are definitely entertaining and CREATIVE! God Bless your little heart!

Congrates on 100k

My current trainer is very direct and strict, but very positive, and is teaching me a lot!

The quiet one got me dying

I love this video, Can you please do a video on half halts and when is the best time to use them, that will help so much!! 🐴

Mine’s probably a mix of the sergeant and the demonstrator 😂

My instructor is DEFINITELY a mix of the demonstrator and the talker

My riding instructor is a mix between the demonstrator and the optimist, She is very nice.

When I was a groom, the owner would give me lessons while she was on conference calls. She'd put her hand up when she had to work and I was to continue whatever I was doing. Hand would go down and the "you're doing it wrong!" would come up!

Congratulations on 100 thousand

Congrats on 100K your amazing and so funny❤️✨

My riding instructer constantly tells me: "Go on Marie! You're doing amazing!" So..😅 Also she has a strange habit of always asking me: "So what did you have for lunch today?"

My trainer is the demonstrator 😂 and the brutally honest one (which I prefer) love your videos ❤

the quiet ones always scare me lol I'm always thinking 'why are they so quiet? is it that horrible or is there seriously nothing to correct??' xD

My instructor is definitely the pessimist, she’s now fired 😂

I've had the talker, the optimist, and the pessimist. My current is the demonstrator hahah. :)

First! For once! Lol These videos you come up with are hilarious!😂😂😂

Gosh, I love the sergeant vibes haha.

In my past and present instructors, I have had : the demonstrator, I think I currently have the optimist, only telling us it's very good, perfect, but still correcting us (love it), this trainer is sometimes the fitness one too!

My instructor is the it’s taking all my self-restraint out here right now

Mines a mix of optimist, talker, and demonstrator.

My instructor is 100% the quiet one, and the demonstrator together. When im doing a bit of ground work he literally goes like: " Give me that rope and watch carefully ok? " Then i do it and he is like : " No, Not like that let me show you "

My old riding instructor wasn’t really instructing me on what to do , she kinda just told me a few things and bam that was it

I grew up around POA’s and yours is the nicest I’ve ever seen!

Howdy glad we got to chat for a few, crazy place though lol. I enjoyed watching this video you had me cracking up take care and hope you have a great day. Greg

Great 😁 My instuctor is a mix of the demonstrator, the sargeant and kind of the talker. She talks a lot, but always about the theory and techniques i am using, which is really helpful to me! I need to understand what I am actually doing to do it correctly ❤

I love this skit very much! It’s funny, my trainer is mostly like the last one :)

This is way too accurate

My first instructor was definitely drill sergeant 😂 my new instructor is 100% the demonstrator!❤❤❤😂

Funny! Btw, really nice Appaloosa!

When the optimist said u were gripping with your knees a little bit but I loved your hands, you have to grip with the knees and you never fall off

hahahahaha love these

Yes defo the demonstrator! But I love that type of trainer

I feel I have a mix between them all in my instructor. Haha this was fun

My instructor is a talker and I love it! I'm a quieter person but I hate working in silence lmao

When i was young I had the most rude, screaming, ofensive instractor.. I loved him, we achived a lot.. I miss him. RIP

Ahh I wish my "pessimistic coach" was that calm. I'd cry everyday when I first started but you get used to it (not that I don't shed a tear every now and then 🤭)

My riding instructor is like all of these all mixed in one-

Love a good demonstrator.

Great editing.

Definitely the always late one. Love her though

My trainer is absolutely the quiet one. 😅

My instructor is the pessimist the talker. Lol im the optimistic one! And yes I teach kids Lol.

My riding instructor is a mix of all 😂👌

Haha this is funnny

Mine is the demonstrator, she is so good at teaching I love it, your videos always make me happy, your amazing ❤️❤️

AYO WHY IS BE LIKE THAT THOOO😭🤚🏻

My instructor is DEFINITELY the demonstrator

My first teacher was a pessimist talker, the second an optimist but very chaotic. Now the owners of the horse I care for are a kind of friendlier seargent and demonstrating much. Like that a lot!

omg hi does a queen and her pony reply!

So many riding instructors are so weird 😂

can u pls make for vid of Equestrian vs. non-Equestrian vid pls cuz like theyer so funny lol have a good day

my riding instructor is a cross between demonstrator and optimist, which, where i ride, is *very* important (it is a therapeutic riding center) - so most of the instructors there are this sort of cross

Omg so close to 100k subs

I so relate to that. XD I hate when my trainer is in a bad mood and doing lessons. I'm just like whoa whoa, calm down Jamal.

Omg my instructor is definitely a demonstrator 😂😂, she's the best

1:12 this is MY exact lesson instructor even when I’m on the right on the canter led she’s like EW THAT WAS SO BAD

My instructor is always right to the point

Mine is also the demonstrator she always demonstrates how to post on a horse I recently just started I am on my fourth lesson now and currently learning how to post :-)or the optimist

My trainers the one that expects me to be on time/ always do canter exercises 😂🐎😭😂

One of the most annoying moments is when my instructor tells me to drop my stirrups. I suck at riding without my stirrups

NEW TOPIC IDEAS: Please make a video showing how to: 1) Drag a friend behind using a rope tied to the pummel. 2) Teaching your horse to stand on and walk over someone. 3) Having your friend run alongside your horse, holding the pummel as you ride (Indian style). 4) Teaching your horse to push your standing friend like a Police horse. LOVE learning from your detailed videos. Miss your gorgeous long hair.

My instructor is like all of theses in one🤣

I am all of them 😂😂 depending on the mood and circumstances

Haha my favorite instructor was the demonstrator and fitness instructor but she never specifically mentioned how long we were doing things for or we were doing things for leg strengthening or whatever she'd just tell us to sit the trot or drop irons and sit the trot or whatever.

My instructor is def the demonstrator LOL. It looked like you cloned her!

My trainer is like almost all of them except the fitness trainer at the same time. He is the best though.

My instructor is the demonstrator. I need it. She's fantastic and the visual helps me to get the feel.

My trainer is a little bit of a demonstrator but mostly optimist… but she always gives me lots of feedback and helps me to be a good rider but she does it in a nice way,

yessss, that's right!!!😂👍 I enjoyed the video!

My riding instructor assigned her daughter to ride with me and my sister, and I definitely feel like I learnt a lot better that way and even picked up a few skills from watching her. So the moral of the story is, if you’re a riding instructor, have a daughter ASAP and stick them on a pony

Mine is the Demonstrator and the Optimistic 😊 im really grateful for my riding instructor because she has never ever rude to me which im hoping it stays like that ❤❤

I had two lesson instructors and they were both demenstrators and optimists lol

demonstrator and a talker 😂
