i think it's probably one of the lesser known ones. i don't really care for the song much but the music video is pretty cool because it's about him like in love with this girl on the eastern side of the berlin wall and he's on the west

also!! hey silv, nice character ~ errr definitely not. there are many different forms of riding, starting off with English and Western (and Australian, but I don't know much about that; it's not very popular). official definition of English riding: "There are many variations, but all feature a flat English saddle without the deep seat, high cantle or saddle horn seen on a Western saddle nor the knee pads seen on an Australian Stock Saddle." official definition of Western riding: "Western riding is a style of horseback riding which evolved from the ranching and warfare traditions brought to the Americas by the Spanish Conquistadors, and both equipment and riding style evolved to meet the working needs of the cowboy in the American West." Western is the "cowboy" sport and English is seen by the world as more of the "rich and snobby" sport. English disciplines involve: show jumping(jumping obstacles and competing on time), hunter jumpers(jumping obstacles and competing on how you look, also known as equitation), cross country(jumping obstacles in a large field course and competing on time, extremely dangerous), racing(technically, I guess, but I don't really count it as either tbh), and polo ("golf on horseback"), dressage(dancing horses pretty much, they preform very intricate and specialized movements). Western involves: team roping(roping an animal with two riders on two horses by the legs and head), team cutting(getting one particular animal away from a herd and keeping it away), singular roping, singular cutting, reining(performing quick stops, turns, high-speed circles, run downs with one hand on the reins), western pleasure(who moves the best), trail(seeing how a horse and rider navigate a complex course with many obstacles seen on trails), barrel racing(racing around three barrels as fast as possible without knocking them over), and pole bending(bending in and around poles as fast as possible). I personally compete in hunters jumpers and am training for dressage and show jumping. I'm looking to get into cross country in the future, and I have also done western pleasure and reining.

https://www.instagram.com/p/BMKfEB2gTWL this is western pleasure, though I was training this horse to keep her head down so I was using two hands. also don't ever be an idiot like me and ride without a helmet please https://www.instagram.com/p/BFem3h-ySZM https://www.instagram.com/p/BFklHoRySWz those are both videos of me competing in hunters at the flat(so that means no jumps). notice the very fancy clothing we have to wear. coats, pants(breeches), helmets, and gloves are all regulated https://www.instagram.com/p/BFAYG2HyScI practicing how we should have looked for the show, notice how I keep adjusting his head to make it go lower and look like a flat line with the rest of his body https://www.instagram.com/p/BAs4rcVSSS4 and this is a 2 year old video of me so bear in mind that my position wasn't perfect, but this is what the hunters jumpers class would look like with jumps except there would be a bigger course.

(that's fine Zip! and they're fun to watch practice but I enjoy the style you do so much more it's much smoother and less brash and harsh, barrel and poles give me a ton of anxiety watching the both of them flying around so sharp and so quickly)

Jealous Noco = best Noco
I really love show jumping the most. the speed and the height of the jumps just makes it so much more fun, plus there's a lot more difficulty involved
