It was an Academy class, so martingales are allowed for beginners.

We're Arabian lovers! My mother in law is currently riding a half Arab, half Saddlebred and she is a doll. ❤️

Half Saddlebred, Half Arabian

It's a lot harder as an adult, but rewarding at the same time! Thanks for the sweet words and the encouragement!

He definitely knows and loves his job!!!

It's my mother in laws barn. Tino (the chestnut) is my boy. All of the rest of the horses inside the barn are my mother in law's, my sister in law and brother in laws. So, all family! Glad you found me. Thanks for watching! Hope you were entertained! 😉♥️

You're the best!! ♥️

That was her first time riding a saddle seat horse and riding in a saddle seat saddle. Anyone is bound to make mistakes. SS horses have a completely different action compared to hunters which is what she was used to. It's hard to find a different balance at first, which is exactly what she was trying to do. Even seasoned riders aren't perfect. I think she's brave for not only wanting to try something different, but trying it on horses she didn't know which can be nerve wracking on its own. We try to focus on the positives first and foremost and go from there. Appreciate the comment! That's actually her Nana, not her mom! She doesn't age! 😆

@@adamsonequestrian4587 agreed; ive just never seen anyone heelbonk a ss horse, one risks a very sudden aggressive forward jump from the horse if you do that; and the older gal is a granny? what? im a granny and im sure i could not ride a ss horse with that great form! she must have plenty of ss show class experience to keep that posture!

@@Lauren-vd4qe She also shows hunt seat. I think she's rode saddle seat before, but not a lot. We have all said we're jealous of her seat and legs! She's just a natural horsewoman!

@@adamsonequestrian4587 totally! I wonder what eq discipline wd enable a person to have perfectly still legs like THAT!! i wd totally sign up for THAT!

@@Lauren-vd4qe me too. My legs are what I hate most about looking back at myself. Looks like I'm riding a bike...🤦

I'm showing today in two walk/trot classes! Thanks for the sweet words! ❤️

I hadn't used my gear in over a year because of a job change.

@@adamsonequestrian4587 Still, extremly dirty and dusty, we had an old harness lying around at the barn, it hadn't been in use for 4 years, and it was a lot less dirty. I was just thinking that the dust and dirt cannot be good for the horses airways.

Well, you're making the mistake of watching 10 minutes and assuming my horse stands in his stall for 24 hours a day, which is not the case, while my trunk never moves. Also, I'm totally up for tearing the barn down completely and reconfiguring it if you're willing to put the money down! 😉

@@adamsonequestrian4587 I didn't assume that. I just expressed that the amount of dust would worry me. That's all.

Believe it! That was her first canter class. Weekly lessons help. That and being young enough to have no fear! 😉

@@adamsonequestrian4587 it must be the horse as well what a great pair I have a horse named derby who have a similar canter and is just so fun to ride and enjoy him

@@Zoe_equine They are a great pair! He's a rescue and such a good boy.

Bahahahaha!!

He's a rescue!! Super good boy!

Going this year? Maybe we'll see you there!

Wdym?? This is saddle seat no 1 ever shows with stacks and chains

Wrong Breed

You're definitely thinking of the Tennessee Walker shows, but thankfully, stacks and soring will be outlawed soon!

Best comment I've ever gotten! ❤️ Thank you for watching and for the encouragement!

@@adamsonequestrian4587 I’m happy to make your day like this! It’s a struggle as a small creator

@@Stephensjourney It really is! Do you have a channel?

I wish I knew! I'd make a ton of money if I could figure out how to keep things clean!!! 😂

All the dust that hay throws up im guessing, or random Taz from looney toons dust drive-by's lol

Saddle seat riders have to sit further back in their saddle than you do hunt seat. Otherwise, you'd get thrown off the horse from the massive amounts of power coming from their shoulder, which you would be impeding because you'd be sitting right on top of it. The horse wouldn't even be able to move freely.

Right?! 😂 It was a nightmare to say the least.... 😜

You should go! And Freedman's is only a short drive away... 😜

🤣🤣

It's definitely worth the drive!

We don't do that and neither do we associate with people that do. Maybe stop judging before you know facts or show some proof of what you think you know prior to making comments like this. Our horses are spoiled, not abused.

i was adding a tail extender to his tail because his previous owner had cut it off and it was short. ozzys tail is not nicked, gingered, or braced. You are welcome to come visit him anytime. i wpuld never hirt my horse and you should be ashamed of yourself. i run a horse rescue for christ sake. i would never abuse a horse.

Yes! Should start uploading regularly again within the next few weeks! Thank you for your sweet comment. ❤️

I absolutely love mine. It's a great saddle!

Was this a catch-ride on Isaiah for Danielle?

I don't believe so. She just happened to be at the same show as my family in March and had asked our trainer to help her since she is familiar with Dutch Harness horses. I offered to film her ride since I was free during her class and then turned it into this video to get some help for the rescue she runs. ❤️

@@adamsonequestrian4587 Thank you for the reply. Danielle and I go way back when we were with the same trainer in Minnesota. I love her rescue so thank you for making this great video. I don't know anything about Dutch Harness horses so will have to venture into some information about them. I just love Isaiah!

@@adamsonequestrian4587 Just watched it again and heard the announcer say that she is the owner. I need to talk to her about him!

@@markandlauraanderson774 She is so sweet and hilarious! What a small world! Are you friends on Facebook? If not, you should reach out!
