ENGLISH RIDER TRIES RIDING WESTERN

so today we're going to be doing something a little different where we're going to be riding western so a lot of my followers ride western and they've been requesting that i do a video like this so i thought that today is the day so the only western saddle i have is this old one that's been sitting in my parents garage for like years so you can tell it's a little worn but i think it will work for today so i have ridden tucker here before with the western saddle he has a weird thing about western styles just being put on him what do you want i don't know if it's because he was young and like immature now he's about nine so i'm gonna put this on and we'll see how he'll do uh usually it would end with him rearing and bucking for a few minutes and then finally he'd just quiet down all right so i'm gonna just put the salon first without a saddle blank or anything my goal is not to officially tack him up right now i just want to get it on him and see what he's gonna do ready buddy and this one's lighter so perks about using this good you're okay very good i know you look iffy you're all right all right i'm gonna go to this other side and get the stirrup down [Music] oh good see is this side more comfortable for you so he did surprisingly well with that i'm proud of him i can tell that he is a little uncomfortable with it so i just got to make sure that i go slow and let him feel comfortable before i move too fast but the thing is once i get it on him he's perfectly fine and you can jump on him and ride him anywhere so horses you know they have their quirks so blanket all right we're gonna do this again bud [Music] got pony so many straps i'm not used to okay you can try if you want it looks like all that desensitizing has been helping so there's nothing better than an appy with western style in my opinion so i'm going to hop on tucker and i have some western disciplines and games set up out here that we're going to try okay i'm going to show you all my neck raining skills so anyone who does road western out there i don't know what i'm doing so please don't make fun of me oh gosh how do you do this don't run my half seat so now we're ready to try some of these games that i have out here the first one i think we're going to do is the pole bending which i have behind me but you all need to hang on to the last game we play because i guarantee you that you're going to think it's awesome [Music] so how many of you go riding and you need to carry your phone around but you have no where to put it my friends at yagya sent me this bag where i can put my phone in i can put my wallet or my keys in when i ride and the great thing about this bag is that it has two straps that secures it so i can ride around and i don't even know it's here and this strap right here this bottom strap can even be removed so you can just wear this as a fanny pack or even like a little purse that goes around your shoulder so this belt bag is something you're interested in they actually gave me a 20 off discount code for you all it's equine 20 with the capital e so equine20 and you can click the link in the description to their website and then order this bag through there the next western discipline i'm going to try is raining so i love watching raining i think it's so fascinating and so i thought this would be a great opportunity to try my skills at raining so if you don't know what raining is i would compare it almost to like dressage where it's like a very high level of training and it's basically collecting your horse and doing cool stuff i don't that's the best definition i can give i don't do rainy so i don't really know but i'm going to try it today the first thing i'm going to try here is the box where i'm going to ride in then do a turn on the hunches out and come out of it [Music] first i'll halt all right tuck the next game i'm going to try is barrel racing so instead of barrels i have these blocks here and i kind of have a little mini course over here but i'm going to try those now [Music] now for the big surprise we're gonna try cutting so i have a little cow here that we're gonna chase around and i've always wanted to do this this has been on my bucket list for riding is to do cutting so i'm super pumped for this one release the cow oh here she comes here she comes hello so my cow's now running around in here and my goal is to get her into the reigning square that we had down at the other side of the arena yep yep go go go go come come come get in there get it oh yeah got the cow uh oh my gosh let's go get her my video things you can do with your horse when you're bored covers actually some of these games we did in here today and so if you find that your horse is bored one great thing you can do to change things up is to try different disciplines and do fun things with them so if you feel like that's the situation you're in with your horse right now you can check out that video in the description
