One of my old trainer's favourite things to say to me (because I was quite anxious when I was younger, and was often reluctant to try anything like a big canter or higher jumps)
me: *busy freaking out*
Trainer: *forces me to try anyway*
me: *mildly succeeds*
Trainer: "See!? You didn't even die once!" |

My mum (aka my trainer) told me this yesterday "slow your ass down to slow his feet!" When I did so he stopped and I got impaled buy the saddle horn |

|
My trainer has said almost all of these to me 😅 |

I kinda feel bad for the horses that are being riden whilst the rider is being trained by any of these trainers |

Her: "Im going to put this imaginary egg under you, dont crack my egg" Me: two points Her: "Anddd my egg is all over the saddle" . . Her: "Its like ballet if it hurts your doing it right" . . Her: "Smack her with the crop like you would smack your brothers!" |

Him: (a cowboy) Get your hand on the horn! Do you think you're a **** cowboy? You wanna look cool or be dead? Me: (gladly and quickly grabs horn) Him: You'll look pretty stupid dead. What a dumb way to kill yourself... Me: (tries not to cry and keeps loping without reins)
Him: (continues rant about how everyone thinks it's so cool to not hold the horn)
Horse people are a TOUGH kind of people 🙃 |

A classic "the jump isn't going anywhere, EYES UP!!"
*mare starts bucking*
"SH*T GRAB ON!!" *doesn't grab on and just pulls her head up and rides it out 😅* *bucking subsides*
"There you go!"
-
*cantering around bareback (without a bareback pad >.>) gelding decides he's had enough of my sh*t and starts crow hopping, then bucking*
"WHOA WHOA PULL BACK PULL BACK! -- You were squeeezing too hard, go do it again but relax" - "Shorten your reins....more....SHORTEN THEM MORE!" - -(different trainer)- *loses both stirrups mid-canter because apparently I just kept my heels down and didn't actually put weight in them 😭* *freaks out a little (even though I wasn't really using them apparently??) and starts wobbling around like a baby deer before righting myself and stopping*
"hey look you didn't fall!" (me) "yeah I'm not used to an English saddle after so long" "oh right you usually ride in a western saddle. Oops xD" - "alright (other riders) come to the middle!" *starts looking around to see who she wants to stay out (spoiler, she meant me xD)*
*walks back out to the rail*
"okay, ask her whenever you're rea- you do want to canter right?" (me) *has not ridden this horse in a year* "uh yeah?" |

-If you don't put your heels down then you'll go over his head! -*To Flies* "I Kill you!" -left leg, Left Leg, LEFT LEG -Why are you pulling on you right rein? I don't understand why your doing that -*to horse* "You are such a brat!" -*I feel horses back round and pull her head up* "Why did you do that!? Why did you pull her back!?" -*horse runs me into fence* That's it I'm comin' in there! |
