not sure what the headgear is on these horses

[paddy555]

but a fun video and a good laugh

 

[Steerpike]

Looks great fun but not sure I would be brave enough to do that!

 

[Birker2020]

It does look good fun and I am slightly jealous. Having said that I was inwardly cringing seeing them cantering fast on that hardcore/compressed track around 35 seconds in, again at 1.40. No wonder most of them look lame.
Call me a spoil sport, I would think that being sensible is a better name for it though.....

Deleted as can’t say anything nice about it

There's nothing I like about that video. Clearly I'm a miserable bat

 

[Tiddlypom]

Oh dear .

Stopped watching 2 mins in. Riders having a grand lark, but ignoring their horses who look thoroughly miserable.

Ok so not just me. Horses look miserable. Ears back m, necks snaked out. They are bouncing all over them, maybe get up and out of the saddle rather than thinking about? And going at a fair speed in hard rutted ground.

 

[Goldenstar]

The riders are having much more fun than the horses .

 

[Lipglosspukka]

They look shut down and miserable.

take it you didn't watch long enough to see the one standing on the saddle then

Or the backward one....

i was kind of assuming the backward one did the filming

 

[cauda equina]

I like the landscape

There was 2 then!

 

[milliepops]

There was 2 then!

good point, haha

 

[The Fuzzy Furry]

Not something that appeals....... def not the cantering on those tracks

 

[Birker2020]

The horses do look miserable. But not having literally a single photo of my horse with her ears back when riding or otherwise makes me realise what a lovely affable horse I have.

They look like a bunch of over worked riding school nags. There's a chestnut one with what looks like fairly serious sacroiliac/hind end issues and at least one other that is clearly lame in front. Sad video.

I'm terrible at spotting lameness and even I could see it. Amazed anyone would find this a funny video tbh.

 

[ester]

The chestnut stood out to me too.

 

[Scotsbadboy]

I watched this thinking i daren't post and be a fun killer .... but seems i am in the queue to post and be a fun killer Awful video, awful riders and poor miserable horses!
Chestnut stood out to me, that poor horse!

 

[Cortez]

Yes, you are all miserable bats Looks like a riding school, out having a wet "fun" ride, the horses are plainly used to it, and being ridden in neck ropes. Some are crocked, none are particularly well ridden, just like in many a riding school the horses look a bit sour.

 

[Steerpike]

Deleted because I can't be bothered.

 

[Lois Lame]

I think the horses would have preferred to stand with their rumps facing the rain. But maybe on a dry day they would have had different expressions.

Yeah because I was the first one to object I kinda phrased it a bit 'on the fence' lol

 

[dogatemysalad]

A testament to the honesty and decency of thousands of years in which horses have been domesticated, despite being asked to do idiotic things by egotistical and self obsessed riders. I'm all for having fun, but just be fair.

 

[ameeyal]

Well I enjoyed it , ( ish) I would rather I saw horses being ridden like this and behaving beautifully, than mouths being clamped shut and hauling on a bit to have control.

Even when they are lame?

You sound as if you approve of using sour and crocked horses in a riding school to make money out of them for people who ride badly to have fun on.

The horses do look miserable.

Maybe they don't like the singing and the arms and crops flailing about.
