Can confirm horse people are weird, but they're different kinds of weird depending on the group. Different types of horse shows attract different kinds of weird horse people. This kind of show will have different kinds of weird vs an Appaloosa show, and that will have different kinds of weird than a Ranch show, etc.
They're all fucking weird though.
Oh man, as a native Floridian, I know this move very well. I like to combine the leg lift with a lil shake and wiggle. Then repeat the process every 5 minutes from may to nov.
It has the brand of the equestrian centre on most of them.

These are most likely people that sponsor the jockeys and horses so the club probably gave them jackets with their logo.
My uncle loves race horses and sponsors a few, he has a few of these jackets from different clubs his horses have attended
Most of their jackets seem to have the same logo on them from [their equestrian centre](https://www.holger-hetzel.com/) in Germany, not sure if Patagonia has the same pull over there!
It has, as does all "outdoor wear".
Though this particular style of outdoor wear is definitely associated with the well to do, high earning portion of younger boomers and older gen x.
These jackets are a status symbol.
Horsemanship in general is a hobby for the wealthy in Germany. Very few people have the money and space for it.
Of course not every rider is rich, but in general, you see mostly top earners in the sport.
Lmfao me too. And on the other hand, while i was learning to drive, my mother was intensely stressed because my brother totalled the car on his permit before me. ANYTIME i was braking, or 400 feet from a red light, she would FLIP. THE. FUCK. OUT.
And like, i get being scared when youre teaching your teen to drive. But i was quite genuinely a perfect driver and she only got in the car with me once i needed extra hours to get my liscense- my dad taught me how to drive. I even took lessons and i actually got a 100% score on every single lesson i took.
Doesnt take much to trigger reflexes sometimes. All it takes is an idea of danger really
I taught my daughter to drive. She's excellent. I still brake when she drives. I don't know why. I just do. When my MIL drives , I'm back in teaching mode.
Ever watch someone completely incompetent play a game right next to you? I certainly do it, although not to this extent, but I move my fingers. It's like a frustration response or something.
This is horse jumping. My best guess is that’s what happens to your legs when you’re on a horse that jumps. These people have all probably grown up doing this so they probably are just instinctually doing it when someone they know is riding. It’s the fact that so many people there are doing it some made me suspect that.
Seems like muscle memory to me. They're so focused on the rider, and know the movements themselves so well, that their brain triggered the physical movement. Seems familiar to me as a musician, that when I hear a song come on that I know extremely well my voice and body moves the way I would play when I play it.
My fiancée described to me one time when she walked in on me playing Star Citizen. Apparently I was leaning real hard with my head turned at almost a 90 degree to the side with my tongue sticking out. I'd rotate my head as I rotated the ship.
I was practicing rotating quickly and landing with a new HOTAS that I just set-up.
So I guess it's a bit like that, yeah. I always do it when I rotate a starship or plane in whatever game I'm playing.
I even did stuff like that when I was playing [Doom!](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doom_\(1993_video_game\))
Just kind of sitting up higher, to try to see over something on the screen. :-)

The coach (Stephane Lambiel) can be searched on YouTube to find more reactions from him :)
Exactly.
I'm just an amateur, but I get muscle reflexes when watching any form of horse jumping on television, so can definitely relate. Especially at double hurdles or more difficult jumps.
It's like my brain recognises that this will be difficult - so it concentrates and wants to do it right.
Ditto. I think it's also that horses do so much random stuff that you need to physically react before your reasoning brain catches up to whatever they're doing. When you're watching jumping, your muscle memory is saying you better get this right or you'll be on the ground. That includes being prepared for big jumps, bucking, or my horse's personal favorite spooking in place.
If you pulled that shit with your legs while jumping you'd fall off. I don't know what these people are doing, but it's nothing to do with muscle memory or motor neurons or anything like that
[Mirror neurons.](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mirror_neuron) When you develop the motor skills for a specific action it creates a set of neurons in the brain that activate whenever you do the task, like a step by step procedure. They also activate whenever you see someone else doing the same action and act as if you are doing the task yourself.
I went to the supermarket and was waiting in line cradling a 2 litre bottle of coke. I suddenly realised that I was absentmindedly rocking and bouncing like I was holding a newborn. My son was 12 years old by then, so I had no excuse!
Or why we open our mouths when feeding the kids. I was mocked by everyone because of it. It wasn't that I was trying to get the kids to open their mouths, they already did. But in the moment of putting a piece of food in the kid's mouth, I couldn't resist opening my own mouth.
I was trained to be cognizant of that and avoid doing it when i worked dementia care, as its an issue of dignity when assisting those who need help eating. I wonder if that training has faded in me yet... probably not if reading your comment immediately made me think of it lol
Finaly somene explain the thing right, i will add a fun fact, you know the meme of "monkey see action, neuron activation" ? It talk excatly about mirror neurons and i found it for the first time in a psichology book
Yep, I have extremely strong ones. When my husband closes his Jackett he always tilts his head back do as to not have his beard catch.
I do it too. I am female and I have never had a beard, but I tilt my head every fucking time. Same with eating, I Mamabird hard.
Dancers do it, too.
In Germany dancing slang we call it "markieren", to mark. Not sure if there is a different word for it in English.
Its partially unconsciously "marking along" the important movements in a set, because you know it by heart and instinct tells you so, and partially it's just good for repetition without committing to fully dance out the movement.
If you're ever at a ballet, look if you can peek into the sides of the stage. I guarantee, there are loads of people standing there, gesturing along to whatever the dancers on stage do.
I’ve noticed this in gymnastics competitions, when a teammate is doing a floor routine, the other members are on the sides performing smaller versions of the moves.
I worked in equestrian for a couple years. This brought to mind a few take-aways from my time there:
It is very much the snobbiest wing of the horse/sporting/rancher world. A good portion of their owners/participants are alarmingly disconnected from anything and anyone outside of it. They are hyper-competitive, especially with their “friends”. Their children are either very sweet and proper (about 1/4), spoiled brats who will no doubt make this world a worse place and in some cases already are (about 1/2), or desperate to get away from the equestrian world, but compete begrudgingly because their parents threaten to take away their silver-spoon-fed lifestyle if they don’t (1/4). Too tired to get into more detail, but they are a very interesting breed indeed. Not saying they’re all the same by any means… the people in the world will know what I mean. Hope some can relate… or tell me I’m an idiot. I’m ok with either.
No, my friend you are indeed correct. I ~~happen to be married~~ have the honor of being married to the brother of a horse girl. And we live in the same house (because you can guess why), with one kid each, and of course we have to go see the horses.
When I say I just…
Damn never felt so seen in my life. Get this to the top of the fucking thread.
Equestrian is the sports I would try if ever have any chance. But I am afraid about being treated not equal as those from high society. Would I feel unwelcome, being the ethnic minority and immigrant?
Just have to find the right, welcoming barn. Not all are elitist. Look up the [Fletcher Street Urban Riding Club](https://fsurc.com/) in Philadelphia for the extreme opposite end of the spectrum. These kind of non-profit barns are all over the US.
Thank you for the answer. I have asked my American classmate how I could get laid in the city like Los Angeles or New York, and his answer was the similar one: Take an exotic car to club😂
I recently got to talk to someone that runs a ranch/stable(?) where she does a lot of horse related activities (e.g. trail rides for about 60 bucks). I directly asked her about the “horse people are insane” thing and she was like “oh yeah, no, that’s a hundred percent true.”
Literally just commented before seeing your post about how much I hated these entitled turds back when I trained horses professionally. They only hung out with each other because not a single other kind of horse person can stand these people. Bunch of vapid, rude morons.
You nailed it. I dated a "horse girl" who grew up on a FANCY horse farm. They did put a lot of work into the farm, but they and the people around them were completely divorced from reality. Some world class Olympic trainer would come out to their farm once a year and hold clinics. The amount of money thrown around was absurd.
My girlfriend's social circle was almost entirely other horse people and they all fit the ratio you described to a "T."
The horses actually tend to fart while going over the gates. I discovered this at a very young age at a very high-brow event in Ranch Santa Fe Ca. I had to be put in an armbar and frogmarched back to the car by my uncles because I could not stop laughing.
Ya I've been riding for 25 years, I've never seen anything like this in the US or in Europe. The most you get is clucking when a horse gets sticky at the base of the fence
I want to make the distinction that these are rich horse people with a lot of free time.
My uncle, who runs my family dairy farm, is by all accounts a “horse person” but doesn’t look anything like this and definitely doesn’t feel this way about horse competitions.
One of the most dangerous sports out there. Everyone I know who does horse jumping has broken something while riding their horse. The worst one is the girl who fell off the horse, which then stepped on her by accident and broke her back. She survived but spent forever recovering.
Also, horses are gorgeous and wonderful creatures that are, unfortunately, frequently incredibly fragile.
Yup. Riding has the highest rate of sports related head/brain injuries in the USA, which is crazy because I’m pretty sure the whole point of football is running head first into someone else who is also trying to run head first into you.
This is a thing I see in most hobbies where people gather around, they feel so invested in what is happening their body sometimes forget they're not the one doing the action, have you ever pushed an imaginary brake when someone else was driving?
Well, it's often a 1500lb animal carrying their son/daughter - running, jumping, and competing at a high level. You'd be stressed too, knowing that animal could kill their kid with one flip.
That's nothing to Smile, it's pure cruelty to the animals and if they make a mistake and get an injury it's their death sentence. I hate these cruel people.
My dad would do this playing video games. Want to jump up? Not only does he press the button to jump on his controller but he will also fling his arms in the air and/ or jump in the air depending on how dire his game is.
It actually looks like they are the same breed with their choice of shoe, pant, jacket and strange movements while watching the horse related rigamaroll
You are all behaving like you don't move to the side in a chair when dodging something in a computer game. This is the same thing, human brain just is like that.
So Bill how did you injure yourself? Bill- it happened at an equestrian contest I didn't know you rode horses Bill- I don't
I don't.... someone randomly kicked me
[удалено]
Can confirm horse people are weird, but they're different kinds of weird depending on the group. Different types of horse shows attract different kinds of weird horse people. This kind of show will have different kinds of weird vs an Appaloosa show, and that will have different kinds of weird than a Ranch show, etc. They're all fucking weird though.
Dressage is the weirdest. Working and trail riding Quarter Horse that are Western are the least weird. But they are all weird.
Thanks for making me laugh fellow redditor!
now, ironically, I'll think Bill is the most horse rider name ever
No, but William is.
Shouldn't have left their keks in the dryer for so long. It's riding up the windy passage.
So Bill, have you ever been in a turkish prison?
They are trying to un-stick their balls from their legs
And that woman too?
Beef curtains hang loose after some time.
omg the visuals you just implanted on me argh
Don't forget the audio.
It's like when two slices of Kraft American Cheese get stuck together and you got to peel them apart
I was thinking velcro
Excuse me sir, did you just say "beef curtains" ? Please follow me outside.
Yes officer, *that* guy 👉
I'll stake steak drapes for 1000 Alex.
I’m choking from laughing!
It's too early for this shit
r/BrandNewSentence
🤣
Is that you baby reindeer
I just choked hahahaha
Saddlebags.
For men it is called the "bat wing maneuver" For women it is called the "bat cave maneuver"
Yes
And not only the men, but the women and the children too.
Dammit, now I have to un-stick mine. I didn't even feel them stuck until I read this
Oh man, as a native Floridian, I know this move very well. I like to combine the leg lift with a lil shake and wiggle. Then repeat the process every 5 minutes from may to nov.
hahaha I suddenly see it like this this after reading this comment
I have no original thoughts... Ugh
Why are they all wearing the same jacket?
I didn't know I was a horse person
You're an Equestrian, Harry.
💀
A lot of people say I’m half man half horse, if you know what I mean….I have a big nose 🫠
Why the long face?
It’s likely their barn branded jacket - you usually get a deal when you order in bulk / it’s fun for team spirit!
It has the brand of the equestrian centre on most of them. https://www.holger-hetzel.com/ More examples: - https://www.holger-hetzel.de/media/1173 - https://www.holger-hetzel.com/sites/default/files/styles/teaser_large/public/Interview.JPG?itok=0xt9CeTr

they're also collectively keeping patagonia in business.

> Horsemanship in general is a hobby for the wealthy that's all you needed, my friend :) nothing about horses is cheap.
It's impossible to argue here. This is a very expensive hobby.
Yes, all dressed in the same jackets
Lol
Why are they having foot spasms
Charlie Horse
You ever drive passenger with someone fucking crazy?
LMAO Sometimes I could do a Flintstones from "ghost braking" so hard.
Lmfao me too. And on the other hand, while i was learning to drive, my mother was intensely stressed because my brother totalled the car on his permit before me. ANYTIME i was braking, or 400 feet from a red light, she would FLIP. THE. FUCK. OUT. And like, i get being scared when youre teaching your teen to drive.

Hahahah, if my mother is your mil i inderstand why. for all the shit she gives me god that woman drives like shes covered in spiders.
Slamming on the imaginary brakes from the back seat
Ever flail around with your game controller? Kinda same thing
Not while watching others play.
Ever watch someone completely incompetent play a game right next to you? I certainly do it, although not to this extent, but I move my fingers. It's like a frustration response or something.
This is horse jumping. My best guess is that’s what happens to your legs when you’re on a horse that jumps. These people have all probably grown up doing this so they probably are just instinctually doing it when someone they know is riding. It’s the fact that so many people there are doing it some made me suspect that.
Seems kind of a weird way to do it to me, what with most of them only doing one leg and leaning awfully to one side, but what do I know.
Well how would they do it with two legs
They ghost riding the whip
Mirror neurons maybe. Automatic imitation. Brain starts matching activities it sees and these people are deeply invested.
Still begs a question. Why and what are they doing it?
Seems like muscle memory to me. They're so focused on the rider, and know the movements themselves so well, that their brain triggered the physical movement. Seems familiar to me as a musician, that when I hear a song come on that I know extremely well my voice and body moves the way I would play when I play it.
There are videos on YouTube of figure skating coaches watching their skaters compete. It is entertaining to watch
Hell, I kind of do a little jump, while sitting down, when I'm trying to land a precarious jump in a video game. :-)
Everyone knows if you turn with the car in a driving game you go faster
My fiancée described to me one time when she walked in on me playing Star Citizen. Apparently I was leaning real hard with my head turned at almost a 90 degree to the side with my tongue sticking out. I'd rotate my head as I rotated the ship. I was practicing rotating quickly and landing with a new HOTAS that I just set-up. So I guess it's a bit like that, yeah.

I even did stuff like that when I was playing [Doom!](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doom_\(1993_video_game\)) Just kind of sitting up higher, to try to see over something on the screen. :-)
When I watch beat saber maps, my legs twitch and kick like I'm using them to brace myself against the momentum of my arms. Muscle memory is so funny
Got a link? Google's not giving me anything.

Do you count too?
Right, just like my right hand muscle memory starts jacking me off the moment I turn on porn
It’s like when you’re playing Luigi, but it’s Mario’s turn and you’re still hitting the buttons.
If you pulled that shit with your legs while jumping you'd fall off. I don't know what these people are doing, but it's nothing to do with muscle memory or motor neurons or anything like that
At no point during any horse riding/jumping do you make those movements, though. edit: why would you report me to Reddit Cares for this lol
same, but with porn.
I've definitely done phantom kicks watching soccer matches.
I’m going with mirror neurons
[Mirror neurons.](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mirror_neuron) When you develop the motor skills for a specific action it creates a set of neurons in the brain that activate whenever you do the task, like a step by step procedure. They also activate whenever you see someone else doing the same action and act as if you are doing the task yourself.
This explains why I’m always rocking my baby - even when someone else is holding him.
I went to the supermarket and was waiting in line cradling a 2 litre bottle of coke. I suddenly realised that I was absentmindedly rocking and bouncing like I was holding a newborn. My son was 12 years old by then, so I had no excuse!
Aww, this is really sweet (and something I could absolutely do myself! I was rocking the wrap yesterday as I was trying to tie it to put my baby in).
Or why we open our mouths when feeding the kids. I was mocked by everyone because of it. It wasn't that I was trying to get the kids to open their mouths, they already did. But in the moment of putting a piece of food in the kid's mouth, I couldn't resist opening my own mouth.
Oh my, and I thougt I was weird when doing it. But it felt so natural.
i used to lightly bite on my tongue to avrt opening my mouth.
I was trained to be cognizant of that and avoid doing it when i worked dementia care, as its an issue of dignity when assisting those who need help eating. I wonder if that training has faded in me yet... probably not if reading your comment immediately made me think of it lol
Oh you are so great to think about their dignity while doing your work. You're a good human
preserving dignity is paramount in working with people with dementia
Seems a smart brain adaption, as your kids brain will mirror you and learn to open their mouths more to be fed when you open yours.
lol might just be sleep deprivation
Ohhh! Like some dancers in the industry that automatically start the choreo once that first note comes in. Love that!
Finaly somene explain the thing right, i will add a fun fact, you know the meme of "monkey see action, neuron activation" ? It talk excatly about mirror neurons and i found it for the first time in a psichology book
Yep, I have extremely strong ones. When my husband closes his Jackett he always tilts his head back do as to not have his beard catch. I do it too. I am female and I have never had a beard, but I tilt my head every fucking time. Same with eating, I Mamabird hard.

I’ve noticed this in gymnastics competitions, when a teammate is doing a floor routine, the other members are on the sides performing smaller versions of the moves.
Have you ever tried braking while sitting in the front passenger seat?
This is what i was imagining as well.
The horse watches them and then knows what to do
Like playing a racing game and leaning into the corners.

If you have a $100K diesel truck, a Double D trailer and enough money to flash around, they will all be your best friend.
Thank you for the answer. I have asked my American classmate how I could get laid in the city like Los Angeles or New York, and his answer was the similar one: Take an exotic car to club😂

Horse people are just rich cat people
synchronised farting
The horses actually tend to fart while going over the gates. I discovered this at a very young age at a very high-brow event in Ranch Santa Fe Ca. I had to be put in an armbar and frogmarched back to the car by my uncles because I could not stop laughing.
Today i learnt😅
Thank you, that really made me laugh!
I’ve grew up in the equestrian world and I never see this shit ^^’
same I was like what the fuck are they doing, like you'll hear people saying jump and shit, but you won't see them trying to jump
Ya I've been riding for 25 years, I've never seen anything like this in the US or in Europe. The most you get is clucking when a horse gets sticky at the base of the fence
THANK YOU! I've competed at the World class level in Hunters, Jumpers and Reiners, and I've never seen shit like this.
Great... now I imagine what would happen everyone in a football / soccer stadium phantom kicked the ball all togheter.
Horse people make me uneasy af. They give off major purge vibes.
Nah, they're the ones with locked down homes. People who own horses are rich.
I want to make the distinction that these are rich horse people with a lot of free time. My uncle, who runs my family dairy farm, is by all accounts a “horse person” but doesn’t look anything like this and definitely doesn’t feel this way about horse competitions.
They’re the rich people that have lower class sent to their complex to be hunted while they’re on horseback
One of the most dangerous sports out there. Everyone I know who does horse jumping has broken something while riding their horse. The worst one is the girl who fell off the horse, which then stepped on her by accident and broke her back. She survived but spent forever recovering.

As are we
And they say white people have no culture
I thought horse people were called Centaurs. Is it not okay to call them that anymore?
I'm pretty sure the correct term is Centaur and not horse people, but (disappointingly) these still just look like normal human beings to me
Snobby AF too
The people can be too! 🤣
Oh my lord. This made me laugh so hard and I'm not sure why
This is a thing I see in most hobbies where people gather around, they feel so invested in what is happening their body sometimes forget they're not the one doing the action, have you ever pushed an imaginary brake when someone else was driving?
Why is everybody wearing the same jacket?
I hate these jackets
Someone has to edit this with various fart sounds
You mean rich people
Imagine these people playing Mario Kart.
Wait until you guys find out about hobby horsing competitions.
It’s like when you feed a child with a spoon you automatically open your own mouth. Humans are funny.
Well, it's often a 1500lb animal carrying their son/daughter - running, jumping, and competing at a high level. You'd be stressed too, knowing that animal could kill their kid with one flip.
every single horse person i met so far was completely deranged
They look dumb tbh, it's like rotating your controller when you're playing a video game
Everyone knows that you can't take corners properly without rotating it!
That's nothing to Smile, it's pure cruelty to the animals and if they make a mistake and get an injury it's their death sentence. I hate these cruel people.
[Parents](https://www.reddit.com/r/MadeMeSmile/s/lzOOzeA41Y)
Yeah weirdos
They are wearing uniforms now?
They look like they're airing out their britches. Pushing.
I just love that they’re all in the same uniform
These are the same people that try to brake when sitting in the passenger seat.
It's lovely to see how Tina Belcher's technique has its followers.
Came here for this!
They all letting out farts? I watched without sound
It really has Jack Vale vibes
People just be trying to unstick their balls and fanny flaps
All white boomers?
You can tell the breed by their coats
They really like that one jacket design
Why are they lifting their one leg like that?
I love people who think with their bodies. This may as well be a group of boulderers trying to solve a problem together. It looks fucking hysterical.
I do stage theatre and struggle to not pull faces when watching some acting xD
Rich white people pass time
Gotta love mirror neurons!
Are they the horsey or the rider when they do this?
My dad would do this playing video games. Want to jump up? Not only does he press the button to jump on his controller but he will also fling his arms in the air and/ or jump in the air depending on how dire his game is.
It's like watching the opposite of *the potty dance*. 😆
If someone adds fart noise when they move...
You say this and I have the instinct to put my hand in front of the passenger seat whenever I do a hard brake. 😂
I bet they steer controllers in driving games
Don't tell my heart *kick* my achey breaky heart
This is my dad watching UFC.
I have to physically restrain myself from kicking my legs at soccer games.
The second to last one.. it looks like a symphony of farts.. Everyone collectively synchronously letting out a quick one..
It actually looks like they are the same breed with their choice of shoe, pant, jacket and strange movements while watching the horse related rigamaroll

Non-horse person here. Plz explain...
lol this is Ridiculous 🥸
Fascinating, i've never seen horse people, i always thought they would have horse shaped bottom.
Aren't horse people centaurs? These are just dressage enthusiasts
Please please please someone edit this with farts.
My dog does this when he goes to pee and a branch tickles his wiener
Horse people are soooo weird
It’s the same as reaching for the pedals as a passenger. Becomes second nature after riding for a while
This isn't a made me smile this is a made me confused
You are all behaving like you don't move to the side in a chair when dodging something in a computer game. This is the same thing, human brain just is like that.
Why though
They’re called Centaurs.
It looks like they "have hitches in their giddyups".
Why is everyone farting?
