I Tried Jumping a Horse with ZERO Experience!!

0:00 Today I'll be learning how to ride a 6-ft TALL STALLION.

0:05 HELP!

0:08 OH MY GOD, I'M GOING TO DIE.

0:10 I HONESTLY thought someone would tell me not to do this.

0:13 Hello.

0:13 You're right, Carl.

0:14 going?

0:14 So, you are

0:15 I'm Paige.

0:16 You're Paige, okay.

0:17 And this is your equestrian center.

0:20 Yeah, riding school.

0:21 Right, okay.

0:21 Now, I don't have much experience, but

0:25 Yeah.

0:24 I want to ride a horse, and I want to jump a horse, and I want to ride a horse.

0:28 How do I do that?

0:29 Well, we're going to stride.

0:31 I'm going to show you what we're going to do.

0:32 So, first of all, we're going to show you how to use your reins.

0:36 Yeah.

0:35 And then we'll get you trotting.

0:37 And then after we've shown you that, we're

0:38 going to get you standing up in your stirrups,

0:40 cuz the main thing with horse riding

0:41 Stirrups being Stirrups are metal things.

0:44 Oh, I call them feet things.

0:45 And what horses are we

0:47 We've got Moonbeam,

0:49 Yeah.

0:49 Phoenix, and Spyro.

0:50 What's that big one over there?

0:52 Phoenix.

0:52 He's tall.

0:53 He is the biggest on the yard.

0:55 How tall is he?

0:55 He's 19 hands.

0:57 Do you know how tall that is in feet?

0:59 No, I wouldn't know, actually.

1:01 No, no, fair enough.

1:01 Okay.

1:02 Hello, Edward.

1:03 Um, and what's the story behind this little guy?

1:05 He's a naughty little goat, and his name's Edward.

1:08 Why's he got one horn?

1:09 Because he got it kicked off for being so naughty.

1:12 We think he's got a bit brain damage now, but he seems to be a lot more playful.

1:16 like that.

1:17 He's a bit like Jack Joseph in that way, I'd say.

1:19 Okay, let's let's go meet the horses then, I guess.

1:24 Okay.

1:22 You call this one Bob Marley.

1:23 Oh my god.

1:26 What the hell?

1:27 Who is that?

1:28 I didn't know horses could grow mustaches.

1:30 He's like a Rastafarian.

1:31 Yeah, exactly.

1:33 Smokes the ganja in that, doesn't he?

1:34 I might be hanging out in here.

1:35 You might Yeah, catch me in here, just doobying it up.

1:39 Right, this is Spyro.

1:40 Yeah, this is Spyro.

1:42 And he or she?

1:43 She.

1:43 She's a Irish cob.

1:44 So, who do you want to ride first?

1:46 It's up to you.

1:47 Well, he's a small makes sense for a small

1:49 Is that the best one for me to ride first?

1:52 Yeah.

1:53 Yeah.

1:54 Yeah.

1:54 Let's do it.

1:56 Okay.

1:55 Let's jump on.

1:56 Step one is controlling horse, moving around,

1:59 getting on it, stopping it, turning it.

2:01 OH MY GOD, I'M GOING TO DIE.

2:05 I DON'T KNOW HOW MUCH OF A GOOD IDEA THIS IS.

2:07 I feel like the geese are pretty pointless.

2:10 Yeah, why why do we why do you have geese?

2:14 Why not?

2:15 Just cuz they run around screaming and biting people probably.

2:19 Oh my god, he's going to strike for me.

2:22 He's huge.

2:23 I think I could do that, that's pretty easy.

2:24 I mean, the movement's pretty alien to me cuz

2:27 she's proper like like you know what I mean?

2:29 Yeah, that sound that looks easy enough.

2:32 Will he will he mind a foreign person I'm not foreign but me going on there?

2:37 No?

2:38 He's not scared of not racist or anything?

2:40 No, I definitely not.

2:41 Well, he's black himself I guess so.

2:43 It's fine.

2:45 Right, ready?

2:46 horse, yes.

2:46 Come to the top.

2:48 Okay.

2:48 You can hold on to your saddle if you want.

2:50 Okay.

2:50 And then when you're ready, pop your left foot in the stirrup.

2:53 First.

2:54 Yeah.

2:55 Okay.

2:54 And then just swing your self over.

2:57 Oh god.

2:58 I'm in I'm in.

2:59 Well done.

2:59 Now what?

3:00 We start her off safe.

3:02 I don't know.

3:02 Right, let go of your legs.

3:03 Start me off safe.

3:04 What about I'm not okay.

3:07 I'm winded.

3:08 It's very unnatural.

3:09 Yeah, you've got to break your feet.

3:11 Yeah, what do what?

3:12 in your feet.

3:13 I'm remolding my feet for this video and breaking them.

3:16 And then keep your legs there at all time, okay?

3:18 Hold on and do the reins.

3:22 I'm ready.

3:25 Here I go.

3:26 It's like riding a bike.

3:28 It's all coming back to me.

3:29 What sort of horsepower are we talking on one of these babies?

3:36 He's not sure.

3:36 Okay, how many miles per gallon?

3:38 Okay, this is the basics, guys.

3:40 So, what I'm doing is I'm controlling the horse, going at a steady canter.

3:44 Is this a canter?

3:46 Steady walk.

3:48 Controlling it.

3:49 Turning it.

3:51 Riding it.

3:52 Oh.

3:53 Come on.

3:54 Okay, I'm not riding it anymore.

3:55 Oh, she's got Stand up Yeah, try stand up in your stirrups.

3:59 So, like Yeah, perfect.

4:01 Why?

4:01 It's not going to flick up on me, is it?

4:03 Oh my god.

4:04 How much hay is she eating?

4:06 It's not going much quicker.

4:07 I think the gearbox is broken.

4:09 Yeah.

4:10 Yeah.

4:11 And then I'll put it back.

4:12 Oh god.

4:13 Oh god.

4:14 Well done.

4:14 That was a little trot.

4:19 Yeah.

4:18 Yeah.

4:19 How quick did I go?

4:21 So, now we're stepping it up.

4:22 I've got to learn how to trot,

4:24 which is apparently moving in rhythm and not bouncing around on my ass.

4:28 I have to sort of move with the horse.

4:30 I have to go up, down, up, down, up, down.

4:33 Like that.

4:35 Yeah.

4:39 Oh my god, help.

4:40 Oh, you know what you should do?

4:41 You should get like one of them lassos and have to lasso that goat.

4:45 That'll be sick.

4:46 Right, ready?

4:46 Sit down for me.

4:47 Sit.

4:47 Sit.

4:48 Sit.

4:48 Sit.

4:49 Stand.

4:49 On me.

4:50 Oh, I thought you were talking to the horse.

4:51 I don't know what I'm doing.

4:52 Up, down, up, down.

4:56 Little bit slower.

4:57 This doesn't This looks up.

4:58 Little bit slower.

4:59 Oh, okay.

5:00 So, you've got to think of a motion, up, down.

5:02 I'm pulling my plonker here.

5:03 Okay, so before we get into the rest of the horse riding chaos in this video,

5:07 I want to talk about something.

5:08 Whenever I try something new, like horse riding for example,

5:11 it always reminds me of how uncomfortable it is to be out of your comfort zone.

5:16 I look calm and collected on the outside.

5:18 OH MY GOD, HELP.

5:19 BUT INSIDE, I'm really thinking this could go very badly wrong.

5:23 What the And honestly, that feeling applies to loads of things in life.

5:26 Something I've realized over the last year is

5:28 that real change isn't suddenly becoming a completely different person.

5:32 It's more about small habits and trying

5:34 to understand yourself a little bit better.

5:36 Not as some instant solution, but having space to step back,

5:40 talk things through, and have a clearer perspective.

5:42 To me personally, I feel like I've always got to do

5:44 skits or YouTube videos or joint YouTube videos or see friends,

5:48 or keep the missus happy.

5:51 But, BetterHelp, the sponsor of this video,

5:53 is an online platform where you can get matched to a credentialed therapist.

5:56 You fill out a questionnaire and they'll match you

5:58 with someone based on your preferences and their experience.

6:04 you can switch anytime at no extra cost.

6:05 Over 6 million people have already used BetterHelp.

6:21 All right, now let's get back into the video.

6:24 Trot it.

6:24 Trot it, baby.

6:52 Um, what the then?

7:00 This is it.

7:01 Yeah, just hold Just hold on.

7:04 Okay?

7:05 Just hold on.

7:05 It's like you're preparing me for war.

8:24 We'll finish off with a nice walk.

8:26 Yeah, that's probably better.

8:27 Walking is probably good.

8:29 She doesn't like me anymore.

8:30 Look, she's kicking her feet and everything.

11:31 I'm ready to buy a new horse.

11:32 You ready?

11:33 I'm ready to upgrade.

11:34 So, this is the big we're about to bring in.

11:36 If I fell off of this one, it would hurt.

11:39 Well, that one hurt the other one.

11:40 I fell off him three times, and the first time I did, I knocked myself out.

11:48 Okay.

11:48 Phoenix.

11:49 Wait a minute.

11:52 He's not quite nice.

11:58 There you go.

11:59 Yeah, he's gave him an energy drink.

12:02 Oh, yeah.

12:02 I should have done that then.

12:03 An energy drink.

12:05 We're about to ride him.

12:06 Here, have another Red Bull.

12:09 Okay, this is the make or break.

12:10 We're about to start jumping.

12:12 Starting off small, but gradually getting higher.

12:16 If I don't get it right, this is fatal.

12:18 Okay, three, two, Okay.

12:24 This is high.

12:24 This is high.

12:25 This one's quite scary to be on, if I'm honest.

12:27 You feel more I feel more safer on him.

12:30 Do you?

12:31 Yeah.

12:31 All right.

12:32 Oh, I've pulled my groin now.

12:33 hold him together.

12:34 Is that normal?

12:35 I've put I've actually pulled my groin.

12:36 I can feel it pulled.

12:37 It's cuz you're not used to using your muscles.

12:40 To be honest, I've never actually led him before, so.

12:43 Either way, I'm probably so.

12:49 Yeah.

12:47 Trot.

12:48 Trot.

12:48 Just trot, you thin bastard.

12:52 I don't like it when they run in.

12:54 Why they running into the gate, man?

12:57 When you talk loud, Cal, that's when he's like running into the fence.

13:01 Oh, so I just shut up then?

13:03 Yeah.

13:02 Okay, I'll shut up.

13:03 I'm ready then.

13:04 What was it?

13:04 Talk to him.

13:05 Comfort him.

13:07 I don't know what to do then.

13:08 Okay, Phoenix, we're going to go for a trot now.

13:11 Okay, trot on.

13:12 Trot on, Phoenix.

13:13 Trot on.

13:14 Trot on.

13:15 Trot on.

13:16 He's still going into the fence.

13:18 I'm falling.

13:19 Callum, this doesn't work.

13:20 This horse is broken.

13:21 He doesn't um listen.

13:24 He's got a thing with listening.

13:27 This is so many things to horse riding, I tell you.

13:31 This is This is horrible.

13:33 I I I wouldn't be able to ride him without falling.

13:35 I would I would break my neck, I feel.

13:37 We'll put him back.

13:39 I think we'll It's time for him to go.

13:43 This is the final segment now.

13:45 I'm actually going to jump a horse.

13:47 I'm not going to jump the big big one cuz I unless

13:52 you don't want any more YouTube videos and me to be dead.

13:57 Okay, so this is the final test.

13:58 I have a small course to complete and here is

14:01 where I'll find out if I've actually learned anything today.

14:04 We'll tell you.

14:05 So, when we get up to jump,

14:06 we'll go 1 2 3 and then when we say lean, you lean and then you snap up.

14:11 Ready?

14:12 Slightly forward.

14:13 What do you mean ready?

14:14 Well, stand up.

14:15 Lean slightly forward.

14:16 That's it.

14:16 Like this?

14:18 Yeah.

14:17 I feel like that's a bit much.

14:18 I feel like I'm going to fall.

14:21 Well.

14:21 You don't care, do you, if I fall?

14:23 Should we just go over it now?

14:23 He's done the jump.

14:25 Yeah.

14:35 She knocked it.

14:37 Oh.

14:37 She sucks.

14:39 She can't even jump over that.

14:40 Yeah, barely anyone jumps learns how to jump on the same day.

14:44 Me and Taylor taught some man a few week months

14:47 ago and we really wanted him to like fall off.

14:51 You want to see him break his neck.

14:52 But ladies and gentlemen, this is a jump.

14:55 You know what?

14:55 They've never had someone jump on the first day before.

14:58 Isn't that right?

15:00 Yeah.

15:00 And now I'm about to perform the best jump you've ever seen.

15:02 Right.

15:03 Ready?

15:22 I did my first ever jump on a horse.

15:25 That's pretty crazy, no?

15:27 No, you're not done yet.

15:27 I'm not done.

15:28 What do you mean?

15:29 What does that mean?
