i only found it because i remember the title was poorly translated.[/QUOTE]

See I didn’t find that all that impressive. Even totally out of shape me could stay on that. The horse never really bucked and kicked his hind end up. That’s what tips you forward and tosses you off. The guy got to hang on with the reins as the horse jumped forward. I call that porpoising :lol:

IDK… i’ve been subject to porpoisng quite a few times… it’s bigger than it looks because he sat it so well, not because it wasn’t a lot of movement. that is a BIG moving horse. i thought he did a great job, but that’s just me. most people would be off the first lurch.

I know it as “crow hopping”…

You can’t be serious.

Crow hopping or pronking. Yes, that’s a “p” not a “b”

I hadn’t ever heard of porpoising until the internets. Hgorse terms can be very regional.

Crow hopping. And I’m a Yankee.

Well, I’m no Olympic rider but the first horse looks like he’s off on his left hind. There’s a slight delay at the trot and when he canters both hinds come down almost simultaneously.

I guess that could be extension and collection, respectively but that horse looks too stiff.

That said, I wish I had the grace of either rider to keep calm under those conditions!

I saw this one. It also featured a person with a whip on the ground chasing the horse, which made no sense to me.

Uh we must be talking about a different video. LOL.

Quintessential crow-hopping.

Yeah, crow-hopping also works. I think of crow-hopping as when they have their head and front end down, which this horse didn’t do as much. Porpoising is a term I heard one of my old trainers make up for horses that are pogo-ing around like this horse with their front end up. This horse jumps and throws the rider back against the reins and he pretty much got carried along. It helped that the horse kept moving forward. If the horse had kicked his back end up at all I think he would have been over the horse’s shoulder.

This is bucking: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mWrqI1fqv-s

If there was a person on the ground with a whip it was because they knew the horse wasn’t solid about going forward and the rider needed back-up. Either way, I agree that he handled it very nicely! :yes:

I think that is part of a longer video of some Dutch breaking. If so, they took the horse very fast and rushed the whole process. Maybe someone remembers?

[RugBug]

Ah…that isn’t one I had seen.

I agree with part of what Crowne Dragon says: that’s not bucking. It’s crow-hopping or porpoising…which is the same thing or very similar in my book. Crow-hopping they tend to land with straight, stiff legs. Porpoising they might not do that, but sort of continue leaping forward in fairly smooth arcs (thus the porpoise reference).

That said, I probably would not have stayed on that. you never know cause the horse stayed fairly straight and wasn’t really throwing the rider back and forth by bucking. but honestly, I probably would’ve been on the ground by about halfway through.
