your FIRST Horse Back Riding lesson be like... 😂

Thanks for watching 🐴

[Aphrodite_Vlogs]

My first lesson my trainer literally told me “you’re not tacking, cleaning, or riding today. You’re going to do ground work and watch me tack and clean the horse and I’ll show you how to do it” I love her so much!

[jessicapease]

I took a lesson once and I had told the girl that I had ridden a few times before so I was pretty comfortable. But when we got into the arena she asked me to canter, I had only cantered once so I was nervous. I did it and was flopping around like crazy and the trainer exclaimed very angrily “I thought you knew how to ride!” I was crushed and started to cry. I ended the lesson there. I went back to my old trainer who was very gentle and compassionate to both riders and horses.

This is actually very sad. For the first 6 (!) years of my riding I was stuck in a barn where every single person was behaving like the trainer in this video. And I was 7 when I started. I was already bullied at school, so it was hard for me to ask help from not friendly people, but I did my best to try and half of the time they just flat out refused. I don't know how on earth I didn't quit, it was horrible, but it was the only barn in the area. I'm fine now, but I still don't get why some people are this mean. Especially if their job is to deal with students

I love how it's her first lesson and she can tie a rope halter properly! 😂

''What am I collecting? Like easter eggs or something?''
Got me dying 🤣

[laurelcook]

I’m an instructor in training, I’d be so embarrassed if I was this rude ngl. 😂 I’d be like “hey kiddo, make sure you tell whoever brings you to come at 1:30!” (Also I pre tack the horses for new comers since I know they don’t know.)

It’s almost heartbreaking how accurate this entire video is.

[piperhonigmann]

Scary how accurate this is. Luckily the first barn I went to was very attentive and they really helped me out. I recently began the search for a new barn and stumbled across the worst one yet. I’m an intermediate rider and even I was struggling. I have been to many barns where when you get there the trainers are no where to be found, and this was one of them. After I found the instructor I was given minimal instruction on where my horse was and had to go get him out in pasture. When I got back I once again couldn’t find her. I put the horse in some cross ties, but once she came back she told me I had put him in the wrong cross ties and had to move him. I did, and started grooming. But when it came time to tack up I realized I didn’t know where his tack was. I heard the trainer tell the farrier who was there at the time, that she was going to go grab some more horses out in pasture, leaving me alone and very confused. I found a border who very kindly showed me where his tack was and helped me get the saddle down. I tacked up the horse but got a little stumped at the bridle. It was a different type of bridle that I had never used before, and I didn’t know how to put it on properly. seeing as the instructor was out in the pasture fucking around I had to find another border to help me do up the bridle. I was so sick of standing around like an idiot. I was so angry and so stressed I stg I was shaking. I waited for my instructor to come back, and when she did I mounted and went into the arena. Once we were there she gave me little to no instruction and basically just told me to walk, trot and canter. So I did. But I was waiting for further instruction. Waiting for advice and criticism. None of which she gave me. I was struggling to keep my Canter because the horse kept dropping out of it at the gate, I assume he was dropping out of the canter at the gate every single time around because she was sitting on the gate and one of their horses that they just let walk freely around the farm was also standing there behind the gate. He seemed a bit nervous that she was there. She never got off or even helped me to keep the canter. I eventually managed to Canter around a few times without him stopping. Untacking was no different, I was given no assistance and she was no where to be found. I basically just guessed what to do and assumed I should take the horse back out to pasture. And if I did something wrong, oh well. It’s their fault they gave me no help whatsoever. I don’t understand how this barn has such an amazing reputation. Seriously beautiful hunter facility with two arenas and a gorgeous barn on abt 60 acres with like 70 horses, but the worst service ever. Most memorable lesson of my life. Safe to say I will not be going back.

My first lesson was recently, and my trainer was amazing!! She showed me how to halter, sit properly, move and how to sit while trotting. ALL IN ONE DAY!!! I was apparently a natural

[_olympusfire_]

Unfortunately this is a normal experience for a lot of people. I’m very lucky I have a compassionate trainer who respects me and helps me when I need it.

[Gabbie_Equestrian]

I died the way she was warming up and especially when she went to find the English saddle she thought that the saddles could speak and tried to find one that SPOKE English LOLLL HEHEHE 🤣🤣🤣🤣.

[maremamaest.]

LITERALLY! I had my very first lesson at 7PM so my teacher was tired and soooo moody! She always assumed we new how to do things lol!

[bethanys-herd]

Awwww, I love seeing Kazi!
But the pain of the instructors who are actually like this.. yikes 😂

[imzadifanvids]

Loved it! Just what I was hoping for. The step aerobics on the mounting block was hilarious.

[OfficiallynOtMaDii]

I moved to a new barn last year to do extra lessons at different places to pick up different techniques. I had been riding for ages, at least 2 years. My coach put me on an easy to ride horse since she didn't know how I ride. She got my to walk and trot on a rope, then eventually helped me with my balance by trotting without stirrups and reins. She was good :)

kazi's face when she had the saddle was like, "well, this is different!" lol

[NordeggSonya]

I was trained as a Canadian riding instructor and then I went to Germany for an apprenticeship. Now I teach completely differently. My people go on the longe line and learn how to sit first and foremost. Then they learn to go rising trot after they learn how to sit. So they have 15 min of grooming and tacking up then half hour on the longe line and 15 min of cleaning up. After 10 or 15 lessons like this they learn to ride off the longe line around the arena and are made aware of how things go ie change the rein on the diagonal and circles and such and then they can join in on a group lesson. It is too hard for a rider to learn to control their own body and the horse at the same time. The private longe lessons actually speed up the learning time of the rider.

Missed it by 10 minutes! This is one of my favorite videos! It was hilarious! Great job Gypsy!
