(61,709 posts)CNN had video, and he looked like he was going to bounce off the horse when he broke into a slow run. (I don't think it was a cantor; too fast, I think.)
His body never looked lined up like a proper rider, and his legs were almost completely straight.
On edit: he looked like he was sitting a Harley, not a horse.

(34,136 posts)of this asshole riding I cringe and feel so sorry for the horses he rides. I have seen little children ride horses that are taking off with them ride them better with not a single lesson. Pulling back on her face he kicks her to move forward then leans back, off balance and still keeping a tight rein. What the hell does he think he is asking her to do? This guy strikes me as the type that reins her up at home and puts her in her place with a 2x4.

Someone should stop him.

(34,136 posts)I have seen people blocked from shows, just riding around, who got cornered and had the "discussion" about how they are treating their horses. Real cowboys would NEVER do that to their horse. I learned from real cowboys and even in the times of hard riding with a herd of cows there was never a reason to treat their animal like that.
He seems to kick to go (I hope he does not wear spurs) and then pull her back when she runs from his roughness. Poor thing. He probably rides a small horse, she almost looks pony size, just so he can get away with that easier. I would love to see what he would do with one of my big quarter horses bred and raised and trained as cutters, or more exactly what they would do with him.

(7,432 posts)it is obvious he isn't a very good rider. That horse is just a prop to his ego, like everything else in his reality.

Must be a filly.......

Mean frickin jerk. We'd like to yank his mouth! And a few things off his body.

(61,709 posts)Really, I know women who pack bigger guns in their purses. His gun looks like it belongs in an evening clutch.
because it harkens back to the 'olden days' where everyone rode horses. And he does seem to reminisce a lot about them.
