I like the way they were taught, yes some were novice, but they were encouraged to almost work it out for themselves with minimal interference from the instructor. If it was too difficult it was made it easier for both horse and rider. I was taught by the army when I was younger and this approach is far more affective, as not once were the horses punished, nor were the riders shouted at. This was a very peaceful lesson, with everyone having achieved their goals.

When one of our horses refuses a jump like the 2nd one, we have 2 sacrifices stand on either side of the jump so it's harder to dart the jump

The rider on the horse who refused to jump didn't seem to have any communication with his horse. The horse was spooked and he should have been talking to the horse, stroking it's neck and patting it to calm it down and connect with it.

i disagree. i dont think the horse was spooking or being naughty, but just not very forgiving. he (maybe, hard to tell from the angle) kept aproaching the jump akwardly, or maybe kept getting a bad distance. Some horses need alot more direction and support from the rider, while others kinda work it out on their own.

in all honesty, it's much better with these kinds of horses to ignore their antics if they are playing up, or spooking. These are cavalry horses, not poncy little ponies. Stroking their neck and chatting to them won't really make a difference, its way better practice for the riders to ignore the spooking and just to continue doing what they were doing previously, if they start to alter their seat, and fuss over the horse too much it will just get more flustered, if they stay seated and continue working the horse will gain confidence from its rider, and the consistency of the work.

@@kazuho1244 Exactly, Enid ! My instructor, ex-cavalry, always told us to ride on and ignore shenanigans. These horse don’t need to “calm down”; they are old hands and know exactly what they are doing with novice riders. (The army doesn’t make the silly mistake of pairing novice horses with novice riders!) You don’t reinforce naughtiness by stroking a horse’s neck.

I think patting them and that is way more beneficial after you get them to acc jump it, that’s what helps my horse I think, if she’s hesitant at a jump but still does it for me she gets lots of pats and the next time she jumps it she’s insane and she knows it too haha she gets so proud of herself

They don’t do hunt seat equitation in Britain - it’s unknown. The cavalry teach the balanced seat. They tend to ride long as unlike the King’s Troop, another ceremonial army unit, they don’t usually canter . Duties are carried out at walk and trot.

beginner riders shouldn't be jumping this high. This is unnecessarily dangerous for both the horses and riders. The second horse's ears were back which means it was unhappy and they were literally crashing thru jumps without any leg protection. Since this was about 8 years ago I hope they have learned how to teach better and safer.

Most of these horses seemed very relaxed, the horse who was having all of the refusals seemed to just have some confidence issues, maybe just a greener horse. The riders also are not putting too much pressure on the bit so I doubt the horses are in pain at all. Just like most of the equipment, it only hurts the horse when misused. I see nothing wrong with the lesson and as someone who rides I can tell you that the horses I ride get so much love and are very happy. 💗

I suspect most of the horses are "professionals" at being lazy and just didn't feel like jumping because it's too much work. I really don't feel like any of the horses were in pain, stressed or scared. The riders might be novices, but this isn't the first rodeo for the horses...lol. Also the riders might not be as confident and aggressive in going over the jumps which give the "bright" horses the idea to "refuse" and evade since they've been able to pull this on other novices in the past.

And the third guy when his horse refused he needed to straight away turn around and get him into the jump asap not go all the way back to the horses and letting him trot like LEARN PEOPLE LEARN!!!

Tiger Cub The first guy needed to do no such thing. This isn’t hunter seat equitation. This is balanced seat. and the Household Cavalry follow the British Horse Society Manual of Horsemanship. Considering these are all green recruits they are doing pretty well. A year ago they were driving tanks.In a year they will go back to driving tanks, except for the NCO Equitation Instructors, who pass a six month course where they do more riding than you probably do in five years. They are pretty good at it too. Army Equitation officers have won Olympic gold medals in eventing and were chef d’equips for the last two Olympic gold medal teams in dressage, beating the Germans.
