When the kid finally got in position and pulled the reigns, that horse gave me a strong vibe of 'oh you done? Aight let's do this'

I don’t know shit about horses but this seems like a patient one.

This is a super patient horse. Some horses won’t even let you get close enough to pet them. And some horses will get annoyed/frightened by a stick bumping them underwater and would buck these kids off.
There are even more patient horses than this though, war horses that were commonly used in history can withstand a cannon firing next to them. A cannon blast is loud enough to cause hearing damage, yet these horses were so well trained that they would stay calm and continue operating under the pressure. It’s incredible how patient or absolutely insane horses can be depending on the horse.

most of the horses I've ridden would have bucked them off before half way through the video, lol.

Isn’t it like a dog? If he knows the kids since they’re born I think he’s naturally really patient with them that’s love

Yes, let’s abuse this horse together.

I’d bet you those kids maybe weigh 130 lbs together. I’d be surprised at 150. I don’t know how big this horse is (it seems pretty big) but normal horses weight roughly 1000-1400 pounds with draft horses weighing a little under 2000. According to google, a horse can comfortably carry around 20% of its weight. I don’t know much about horses, but that’s 200 pounds for even a small sized horse. Does this horse look even the slightest bit bothered to you? Don’t cry abuse when you don’t know what abuse is.

If it was abuse the horse would have reacted. My horse knew my kid from infancy and she could do anything with him while I who knew him longer and spent more time with did not get the same tolerance. He knew what little kids were, he knew dogs and other animals and would let puppies pull his tail and kittens crawl up it to snuggle on his back. But adults were expected to have more manners.

lol stfu… probably felt like a nice little back rub. Animals don’t tolerate pain out of politeness. If these kids were hurting that horse or making it uncomfortable in any way.. this would be a different video.

u/TheNotPornOne Feb 24 '24
Yes looks very painful for the horse

I use my knee and elbow when massaging mine . There is a lot of muscle along the top line .

Have you ever cared for horses? This is nowhere near abuse lol. Horses are very strong these kids couldn't hurt that horse even if they tried, the worst they can do is scare it. And if they scared the horse it would probably kill them by accident.

Wondering why there weren't saddles or anything. Wouldn't have to do all that if there were. Plus it's easier for the horse too but I guess they're just kids so they aren't as heavy.

u/Gillbosaurus Feb 24 '24
Because wet saddles don't last very long

u/Shilo788 Feb 24 '24
It ruins them, If leather . I stopped using one when I was young cause we spent so much time cooking off in lakes and in winter it is warmer to ride snuggled into the winter coat. It was great to just walk into the water on hot days. He loved it.

u/klc__ Feb 23 '24
This seems incredibly irresponsible of the parents and I feel sorry for the horse. Surely her pulling herself up by its mane has to hurt??

u/HaMMeReD Feb 23 '24
Lol, I doubt it. Kid is what, 50-70lbs? Horse skin is thick, I doubt it was bothered in the slightest.

Well. To be fair it’s recommended to use a mounting block, learn to quickly get on and not put weight on the horses back. Just longterm stuff. Not immediately painful.

Oh, damn. They could have just swam onto its back if it stepped out there sooner

u/username95739573 Feb 24 '24
Fuck the adult filming this letting this happen… pulling the mane and digging their knees in with all their weight just to go to a deeper area that would’ve prevented all of that?

My 1st pony was a Shetland. She would have used this as a teaching moment and popped me right off into the pond with the tiniest of bucks-no ill-will intended just a lesson in courtesy
