This is why we learn the basics...

Aww, I feel for that poor horse!!! Actually, I feel bad for the guy too...I hope he had a cup on and wasn't planning on having children.

Oh my god! How has that guy managed to get to that level??? Who is his trainer and why haven't they been run of business?

that truly disturbed me.

It almost looks like some rider got bored and said to a random person off the street with no prior horse experience "I'll give you ten bucks if you ride my horse!"

ive seen a lot of bad riders/jumpers, but never anything even CLOSE to that bad.....poor horse ! i would have bucked him off long ago...

he was definatly better at jumping wihout stirrups, silly bugger

Wouldn't have that have hurt, him and the horse? I wounder what everyone else thought of him.

Silly boy...He is going to get himself killed

Ive seen 5yr old children jump better than that, how ashamed would you be seeing that vid of your self... or a student....

Lengendary horse though!

If you watch his legs closley you can see he grips with the knees and doesnt have any weight in his feet & know one informed him to keeps his heels down lol, hence the reason he rides best with no stirrups and fly out the saddle over every jump

Oh thank goodness- I just learned on another forum he is a polo player. Very glad to know this isn't something he's trained in or think's is okay!
