- Horseback riding!
("Can-Can" by Jacques Offenbach)
- [Ned] Oh, wow, okay.
- Guys, there's a horse here that could
literally poop over my head, it's this high.
- Wee!
(Matt whooshes)
- Why is her tail doing that?
- Because she's probably faring.
- Oh.
- You look like a little boy now.
Like a hot little boy.
(women laugh) - What?
(upbeat music)
- Thanks to the Samsung galaxy S22 Ultra
for sponsoring today's video.
(old west intense music)
- My name is Barbara Underwood and this is Ravensview Ranch.
And we welcome you, I think we're gonna have
a lot of fun riding today.
- Today, the try-wives are at Ravensview Ranch,
and we're horseback riding today.
- Horseback riding.
That was kind of my sport.
- I have been waiting to do this video for so long,
and Becky is so, so scared.
You're you're gonna love it. You are.
- (laughs) I'm just gonna say right now,
I don't wanna horse shame,
but I'm not getting on that giant horse.
I will take there looks like a very nice,
little, pony-sized horse.
- The ranch has been here for many, many years,
but I bought it 17 years ago.
Right now I have 14 horses here.
Six of them are mine, the rest of them are borders.
I know a lot of people think they've gone riding,
if they go to some of the trail riding
where you just rent a horse, but here
you actually need to learn
to communicate with the horse.
- So growing up, I rode horses for about 15 years.
I used to travel all up and down the east coast to compete.
I did three day eventing, that's kind of
what you see in the Olympics.
When you see dressage show jumping,
and cross country jumping.
- I have been riding since I was about eight.
I grew up in Texas, and so I competed in English.
I competed in college and I stopped 'cause I got pregnant.
You know, Keith makes fun of horse people.
And I was one of those people.
- [Cameraman] How do you feel about horseback riding?
- My experience with horseback riding is none.
I would say I was like a "My Little Pony" gal.
My only experience with ponies,
would've probably been in preschool or kindergarten.
I don't think I've ever been interested.
I just like petting them.
- Not a big fan of horses.
They're pretty big, they're kind of smelly.
I don't really get the appeal.
But Ariel got us some horse people, horse girl outfits?
- [Ariel] (laughs) Cowgirl!
- Cowgirl? Cowgirl outfits?
Which there are no cows here,
I do wanna point out, zero cows. Big cow fan.
I was a cow for Halloween once, but not a horse.
- All right. I'm so excited.
We're gonna go change so we look the part
and then we can start our lesson.
- All right, very good.
(upbeat music)
- [Ned] Hello!
- [Ariel] Thank you for coming!
- You're welcome, hello sweetie. (smooches)
- Zach's at home. Zach's at home.
No moral support.
- Honey, thank you so much for coming.
- You're welcome.
Well, thanks to the Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra,
for sponsoring today's video.
So I'm gonna be doing a fashion photo shoot with you.
- Yes.
- Let's check it out.
(sparkle dings)
Yes, yes, yes, and walk, and walk, and walk.
As mobile photography continues to evolve,
Samsung has continued to take transformative leaps
in technology to set an epic standard
in smartphone power creation and performance.
And now give a little walk.
Yes, and return.
Oh, wow, okay.
Hey. (group laughs)
Y'all, bam.
Saddle up!
So now what you can capture, and what you can do with others
instead of being tied to your desk
has been thrown wide open.
- Wow. - Yes, Matt!
- Wow!
(Ned babbles)
(group laughs)
- Wow, and we're going low, we see the boots.
Now we'll do some photos.
This phone sets a new standard for mobile photography.
UltraClear 108 megapixel is the highest resolution
available on a mobile phone.
Oh my God, it's so cute!
And look at me, yeah. (laughs)
- That's her smaller look.
- The S22 Ultra's key features,
push the boundaries for creators
to utilize lighting perspective, and exposure
for mobile photography and make works of art.
(person whistling)
Ooh, now pop that booty out and whack it with the thing.
Nice.
This phone can shoot 8k video,
now your nature shot's dance videos
and laughable moments will be clear,
steady, and unforgettable.
Stunning, stunning.
Super steady video lets you capture content
effortlessly smooth, thanks to auto focus,
video stabilization, everything is smooth and crisp,
and gliding all around.
- Yes! - [Ned] Oh, cute!
- [Maggie] Smile.
- Cute, cute, cute.
It's great for anyone, but especially creators like us.

Now, let's go ride some horses!
(upbeat music)
- Well what do we do first, Barbara?
With this sweet little horse. - We're gonna groom her first.
Her name is Kimama, she is 17 years old
and she's a great little lesson horse.
She gives my students just enough trouble
so they can really learn what they're doing.
- Love troublemakers. - Yes.
My lesson encompasses everything.
So you're gonna groom the horse,
and you just brush her in the way that her hair grows.
Clean their feet. Then we'll tack them up.
Which means putting on the saddle
and the bridal and everything.
Every horse is groomed before and after you ride the horse,
you don't want anything on her back
that's going to irritate under the saddle,
and make it uncomfortable for her.
'Cause we want this to be fun for her as well.
- Becky, do you know what you call the hair on her neck?
- Beautiful?
(Ariel laughs)
- I feel like I could keep doing this
and she would just continue shedding.
Like, when do you know that you've gotten to a good place?
- She's not gonna stop shedding until next year.
- Gotcha.
(Maggie and Barbara laugh)
All horses feel that somebody needs to be boss.
And if you're not willing to be the boss
they're more than happy to step up.
(group laughs)
Everybody talks about standing
behind the horse, and you don't stand behind a horse
but you have to get around to the other side.
So the way you do that...
Horses do not kick you on purpose.
- Okay. - Okay.
So the way you go around a horse
is put your hand on her behind.
- Why is her... why is her tail doing that?
- Because she's probably farting.
- Oh. - (laughs) Okay.
So just put your hand... No, come close, come close.
Okay, and you're gonna walk all the way around
to the other side, and keep your hand on her behind.
Go. Just keep walking.
- That was so scary.
Oh my God, I just walked into her fart.
(Barbara laughs)
- Goes with the territory.
- Can you tell us more about cleaning the...
Hoofs? - [Barbara] Hoofs.
- Hoofs?
Ready to get your footsies cleaned?
I've always wanted to do it.
- Okay. Horses stand in mud and other things.
So you run your hand down this way
and if you notice she picked up her leg for me.
When I told her I wanted it,
one of the things you want to do is to pick up each hook
and rake out all the muck that's in the hoofs.
- [Becky] This looks like ear wax extraction.
(group laughs)
- Their hoofs are like toenails,
so their keratin in their heart,
and they don't really have a lot of feeling.
Yeah, don't be gentle.
- [Maggie] I feel like I'm hurting her.
- You smell nice.
I'm sorry, I didn't mean it!
If you don't clean them out they could get,
like, infected or dirty.
- Yeah, they can get something called thrush
which is like a fungus.
- [Becky] Okay, gimme this one. Thank you!
Thank you!
- Excuse me. (laughs)
- [Becky] So clean. Oh yeah.
This is a all dirt, isn't it?
- [Barbara] Yes.
- Huh, wow. You're a dirty little girl!
So we're basically giving the horse a pedicure today.
- Exactly.
We're gonna put her pad on.
So you just lift it and put it on here
and it should be about mid shoulder.
The pad is to protect the horse from the saddle,
from rubbing and from being uncomfortable.
- So it's like the little sock.
- Yeah... okay. (Maggie laughs)
This is actually a light saddle.
- Oh, yeah.
Yeah. I'm basically hurt to these.
- And we're gonna make a little tunnel here
and that protects her withers.
- We don't wanna push down on your withers.
- So now we're gonna put her bridal on.
- And her bridal is the thing that goes
on her head and in her mouth?
- Yes, and that's why you use to communicate with her.
This is how you tell her to turn or to stop.
- And does it hurt when the bit goes in her mouth or?
- No, horses right on the side, don't have any teeth.
so it's not uncomfortable for them.
- What's the deal with all these flies?
Is it the poop?
- [Barbara] It's the horses.
- [Becky] They just like the horses?
- [Barbara] And the poop, yep.
- [Ariel] You're riding first?
- I think Becky's riding first.
- [Becky] I'll ride first. - [Barbara] Okay.
- We can walk her out and give her a ride.
- All right.
Okay.
- Already? (laughs)
(intense old west music)
So a few of us are a little nervous about today.
The non-riders.
- It is perfectly normal to be nervous around a horse,
but horses are amazing animals.
They kind of center you. They want to please you.
They really do.
- Let's go find Barbara. Let's go find your mama.
- [Barbara] Okay, just walk.
When you're walking a horse, you don't look at the horse.
- [Becky] Don't look at-
- When the horses are in the wild, the boss mayor.
She says, "I think I'll go to that hill over there."
And she starts going, and everybody else
is supposed to follow.
- Okay.
- So when we walk the horse,
we look straight ahead and we relax.
Take a deep breath.
- Are you saying I'm not relaxed, Barbara? (laughs)
- And we're just gonna walk straight out to the arena.
- Okay, walking straight out.
Don't make eye contact with the horse, Jonathan.
You know what it means to go viral?
(Barbara laughs) Do you know about trending?
- [Barbara] You're gonna walk straight into the arena.
- Going straight in, baby. Let's go!
Come on, horsey.
(Becky laughs) (intense old west music)
- [Barbara] Close the arena.
- You said that everyone falls off.
- Sooner or everybody hits the ground.
I cannot tell you how many times I have hit the ground.
And there is absolutely nothing wrong with that.
- [Becky] All right.
- Okay, so you're gonna hold on
to the horse's reigns.
You always keep hold of the reigns,
'cause that's how you control your horse.
- [Becky] Gotcha.
- If you release the reigns, imagine
you've gone on a three hour ride.
You're gonna walk.
If you feel uncomfortable, and you feel
you can't stop the horse, you can just bail,
and fall into the sand.
- Okay.
- Okay. So you can step up. - Ready.
- You can hold here. - All right.
- You can step up to the top. Yep.
- Just stick my little foot in?
- Yep.
- [Ariel] And you just swing your leg over.
- [Matt] Put it over.
- My butt workout I haven't done.
- [Maggie] No, you got this.
(Becky grunts)
- [Ariel] Woo-hoo! You did it!
- Well done! You did a very nice sitting for the horse.
- [Becky] Oh, okay.
I'm on the horse!
(triumphant trumpet music)
- So I will begin by telling you
how to sit, how to keep your feet.
If you want her to turn this way,
you're gonna slide your hand down the reign
and you're gonna pull her nose this way.
- [Becky] Okay.
- We're gonna- - [Becky] Okay.
- Wait a minute.
- Woo, horsey.
- Learn to look at the horse's body language
and know how they're feeling, and you learn
to communicate, and let them know what she want.
They wanna please you.
If you want her to stop, you pull back
evenly with both reigns and say, "Oh."
- Oh.
- Yeah, and then you release.
The reigns are just there to communicate with the horse.
The way you're sitting, and your feet
are what keep you in the saddle.
- [Becky] Whoa.
- And we don't kick her, unless we want to go. (laughs)
Everybody's, like, uptight
and their shoulders get like this.
(group laughs)
And they're all stiff.
And I just say, take a deep breath,
and let it out and relax and center yourself.
Okay, and the horse feels what you feel.
So she'll calm down as you've calm down.
- Uh-oh. - Uh-oh.
(group laughs)
- [Ariel] Just deep breath.
- If Becky can do it, then you can do it.
- I wish Skimama could just read my mind,
so I just didn't-
- [Becky] You got it, Maggie.
- I'm scared!
Hold on. - [Becky] It will be great.
- [Matt] Just have the confidence.
- [Ariel] You can do it! Just slide on over.
- Jump up and swing your leg up.
- (screams) Sorry, horsey.
- I'm gonna let the strips down one for you,
because you're a little bit taller.
- A lot of people think I'm little,
'cause Zach's little.
- And then what I usually do is for beginners,
I start them on what we call a lunch line,
and you can get her going just
by giving a little squeeze, and going.
There she goes.
- Ooh. Okay.
- Don't say "Ooh." Unless you mean stop.
So you are on a rope to begin with it,
but as you get more comfortable, I'll take the rope.
- [Maggie] Okay.
- Squeeze the tummy with both legs.
- [Maggie] Here we go.
- Pull her over that way.
Pull her over that way.
- (screams) Good job.
- [Matt] There we go.
- [Maggie] Yeah! I'm internally panicking. (laughs)
- If you just want her to slow down,
you can pull back a little bit and say "Easy."
- [Becky] Okay.
- [Ariel] You look great!
- [Matt] Don't forget to smile.
- [Barbara] Pull her over by the fence.
- [Becky] Over here.
- Very good!
(Skimama flaps lips)
- [Becky] Oh, are those happy noises?
- [Barbara] Look good!
- [Becky] Thank you.
- Sure! It gave her all the right energy.
(Maggie gasps) - [Barbara] That's okay.
(Maggie screams) It's okay, she just tripped.
- [Matt] (laughs) Screaming, like. (screams)
- [Maggie] Are horses sensitive to noise?
Like, if I scream, does that stress her out?
- [Barbara] Yes.
- [Maggie] Oh, it does. Okay.
- Boots with heels are important,
because it's important that your foot not slide
all the way through the stir.
So the way you're sitting, and your feet
are what keep you in the set.
- Woo! I'm basically a cow poke.
- Wow, this is lovely.
- You need to be the leader for the horse,
but you also need to be kind.
- You're a good horse. You're a nice horse.
- I feel like I'm going a little fast,
but I know the video, I'm gonna watch it back later
and be like...
- [Ariel] You feel like you're going fast. (giggles)
- I feel like I'm going really fast.
- That's why they use horses. They're faster than people.
- That's right.
- That's true.
- (laughs) That's true.
- That's true. (laugh)
- I'm used to doing English riding.
So can you talk to us a little bit more
about Western riding, and how
they're a little bit different?
- [Barbara] Western writing is more fun.
(group laughs)
- [Maggie] It is remarkable.
- [Ariel] Yes, Matthew!
- Wow!
- [Barbara] That was a great mount.
- Smartee is a seven year old registered quarter horse.
- Ooh.
- He's actually a professional reigner.
But with Western they do a lot of neck reigning.
All you have to do is put a little pressure
minimal reigning and a lot of legs.
If you wanna go to your right, pull to your right
use your outside leg to push him right here.
- So is some dressage.
- [Becky] Look at him go. He looks like a cowboy.
- [Maggie] You do look like a cowboy.
Riding off with the sunset.
- [Becky] Sexy little cowboy.
(women laugh)
- [Ariel] I think I've seen this movie somewhere.
- [Becky] No little sticks, look at her.
Beautiful. - [Maggie] Wow.
- [Matt] Back in the cellar again.
(Matt smooches)
- Put your reigns forward a little bit.
There you go.
- [Maggie] How's it to be back on the horse?
- [Matt] Bouncy.
- [Barbara] So let's bring her into.
You're gonna have to tell her twice.
- I know. (laughs)
(Matt cheers) - [Maggie] Ariel!
- [Barbara] Nice posting.
- You can post trot with him too.
It's a lot more comfortable.
There you go.
- A post trot- - Oh, booty!
- That's where you-
- That is, with the horse.
- [Becky] Is this gonna be allowed in the video?
(women laugh)
- [Maggie] Wow!
- [Becky] Are we gonna have to learn this?
- [Maggie] Wow. You look so good.
- [Ariel] He's riding that horse.
- Okay. You tell me. - All right
- You wanna bring him into the counter?
- Sure! - There you go.
- Nice! - Woo! Yes!
Beautiful.
- Keep him going. Keep him going all the way.
- Wow! (group cheers)
- All the way. Keep him going all the way.
- Look at her go!
- [Matt] Yay!
- You wanna try going around without the lead?
- Like, by myself without you?
- [Ariel] You got it. - Okay.
- Okay, cool.
Woo!
- There you go.
- This way. - Great job.
- [Matt] Got it.
- [Becky] Well, you're riding without anyone!
- Keep your heels off of her, though.
- Okay, sorry.
- How do you feel?!
- Like a horseback rider.
- Yeah!
- Wee!
- [Matt] Woo! Look at this.
- Yeah, professional rodeo girl.
- Hey!
- You did a really good job! - You did great!
- Does it seem like I went to fence seaboard in school?
- Yes.
(intense old west music)
- [Barbara] There you go, nice.
- [Ariel] Good boy.
(group cheers)
- [Barbara] All the way. Keep going all the way.
- [Maggie] Look at her go! - [Matt] Yay!
- [Fallon] There you go.
- And then tell "Ooh."
- [Matt] Yes!
- [Fallon] Again.
Kick, kick, click, click, click.
(intense old west music)
- [Ariel] Lay on the saddle.
There you go.
- [Matt] It's not far to the ground.
Not far from the ground, you're fine.
- And slide off.
(Maggie grunts) (women laugh)
(intense triumphant music)
- So the last thing that we're gonna do
is we are going to give Smartee a bath.
(water splashing) (women scream)
- You guys did a wonderful job.
You settled in, and I mean,
first lesson and you went around by yourself.
- I don't think it was as scary
as I thought I was gonna be, once I was on it.
I would do it again.
I don't know if I could ever get
to a place where I was going as fast as you,
because I feel like that takes so much time and practice.
- I feel great. I'm exhausted.
I'm exhausted, I feel like my inner thighs are burning.
- I mean, I thought it was really fun.
I would love to come back and learn a little bit more
about, like, reigning, and maybe
do some more tricks and stuff.
- Barbara, thank you so much for having us here
at Ravensview Ranch.
Thank you to our audience for watching,
and thank you to Samsung for sponsoring this awesome video.
- [Ned] The Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra
sets a new standard in mobile photography.
Oh, cute!
Beautiful, you guys are adorable.
- Bye!
- Bye. (chuckles)
(upbeat music)
- [Ariel] Throw your body over like a whale.
Yeah. - Like a whale.
- Lean forward, take this foot out and slide down.
- Was that beautiful? (group cheers)
- That was- - Was that beautiful?
