How to convince your parents to let you ride horses (My tips while on crutches ☺️🐴)

and in this video i'm going to be giving you a couple of tips to how to convince your parents to let you ride horses because i know when i first started my mom wouldn't do her best she was very very nervous to let me ride because of my medical issues but now it is my life because i love horses so much and hopefully going to be my career so let's get into it big thing parents worry about is safety because it's the children and that's what parents do but maybe horse riding is not risk-free but that doesn't mean there aren't safety procedures in place to protect you like helmets and vests and did you know that horseback riding helmets and vests actually go through hardest testing that any helmet's ever gone through horseback riding helmets do because it's safety and they even make some that can protect your butt your back your head everything i mean i have a lot of those helmets and i have a vest and i have that for my medical issues but i've also ridden horses even right after surgery before i could walk and i did great and i still ride and i love it i'm actually going to be able to i'm actually going to be able to ride and walk in a week so that's exciting thing is finding a good horse trainer instead of trying to teach yourself how to ride and just getting a random horse it's not a very safe idea you want to find a good trainer who knows what they're doing it's been doing it for a while and also you will be riding a very safe sadie don't start you will be riding a very safe lesson horse like her for example who is a therapeutic riding horse and it's calm and won't hurt you i mean she's not hurting my crutches my wheelchair nothing they don't spook easy calm and they just kind of get the job done they know what they're doing while the kids are still learning what to do you also will be on a one join which basically connects to their bridle right here so the horse trainer can control what they do while the kid learns how to balance once their hand movements and everything to keep them safe before they start controlling these big goofballs that act like children you act like children another thing is horses can be very therapeutic physically and mentally like my xena bina was my therapeutic red horse and i did all of my exercises after surgeries on her and everything and i was 12 years old no 12 year old wants to do therapy i mean seriously i'm 19 and i still don't want to because it's boring but when i got told that i could do it on xena i was much more excited to do it because well i'm a kid oh i mean i was a kid and that's what kids do so it can be very therapeutic physically and mentally because like my dad brought me to the bar today because i there's been a lot going on see you think kids should ride horses right yes you do hi i have three of them and i'm getting a baby and another one and we're building a bar he acts silly lena he acts silly the good thing about horseyback riding is you can make a whole bunch of friends from going to shows and learning about horses and doing barn work and you and another great thing is it can build a lot of confidence and it could even become your life and career like me yeah yay because my whizzies make me so happy talk to sadie it's like having kids
