He's lucky he was able to stay on Sassy, and Sassy was in control, not Roy.
Someone, please save this horse from this animal.

(16,887 posts)I used to ride a lot....even transitioned from years of English to riding Western because I had a beautiful Quarter Horse named Voodoo and learned Barrel Racing.
For starters, he doesn't even know how to sit in the saddle on the horse properly and he is either leaning too far back or forward constantly. He doesn't have his legs or feet properly in stirrups - way too much foot in the stirrup and often his legs way too long and stiff. He doesn't even have the one handed hold of the reins with the thumb placed. He grabs with both hands and jerks back constantly when he should be using his legs. The horses head is up constantly. He doesn't even know the basic of how to go from a lope to a trot....
I could go on and on....but anyone who rides and who understands horses knows this man has no idea of what he is doing and it was ridiculous to watch. Frankly, I am surprised he took the chance that could have ended up with him looking worse on that horse than he already did....
Who did he think he was going to impress? Because I literally have seen small kids get on horses and ride better....

(11,686 posts)He is horrible and that poor horse was throwing it's head all over, had no true direction, and was not collected enough to make a damn. I used to ride and show English and seeing someone like him ride makes me cringe. He also did not give a damn that the horse was freaked by all of those people surrounding it. What a MOFO.

(13,466 posts)Easy to see that he wasn't comfortable riding, and the horse was certainly not comfortable!

Roy ain't no cowboy and had obviously never been on a cutting horse. He rides like dead weight.

(14,857 posts)He was pretending to ride from point A to point B. I suspect he hasn't been on a horse of any kind, ever.

I did not ask for this. I am just a horse. I had no choice in the matter. My name is "Sassy." For real.

(11,686 posts)I maintain a proper sit when on a carousal horse. It is just a habit if I am on anything horse related I guess. He has absolutely no clue.

(7,576 posts)My family went out for a ride every morning and I can tell you, we were much more comfortable in the saddle and we rode w/o bouncing all over the saddle..and WE had control of ou horses. Moore looks like a kid just learning how to ride.

(16,189 posts)I actually cannot believe he stayed on. Terrible sawing on that poor horses mouth. Not neck-reining or direct-reining...just some weird hybrid he made up because he doesnt know what he is doing.

Don't know who was behind writing the messages on that account today, but it's absolute gold.

(8,969 posts)That's exactly what happens when you don't know how to handle a horse
And I bet he has ridden it before and the horse already knew he didn't know what he was doing
Moore is an idiot to even try to pull that off in front of cameras
To put it in alabama speak... that boy clearly ain't got no cowboy bonafides
