Ride

It's a fun show. I am 17 and my nephew is 6 and we both enjoyed watching the first 10 episodes together. I would recommend it to middle school age girls because the life lessons Kit goes through would be most relatable to them in the majority. I think this show lacks diversity in its actors and that's annoying to say the least. The show is about a girl (Kit Bridges) and her father move to England for him to take a job at an equestrian boarding school as the new stable master and boys riding coach. Kit makes friends by standing up for her and her classmates individuality. Her main battle in the show is trying to overcome her fear of riding to save a horse that she connected with but the head master wants to send to be auctioned off. Kit learns from a lot of mistakes and gains friends through her perseverance.

I love this show!i don't know what that makes me considering I'm in my 30's.lol.but it's a fun and exciting show with beautiful horses.I guess kit reminds me of myself when I was their age.I definitely think they should continue with a season 2.All of those kids can act really well accept kit.she's OK.not as good as the others. But I still love the show

I hoped, this would be at least somewhat entertaining, but after sitting through two or three episodes, I have to restrain myself from just being vulgar. My kids watch it with eagerness to see horses, which INHO, there is not enough, and while I tried to bring up the absolute simplicity of the plot, and constant "regurgitation" of the most idiotic schemes, I am appalled that this is allowed on public TV. The moment you hear any dialogue, it is as if those persons had no brain - no common sense, and the pairing of characters is also "weird". I am sorry, but as I am no "critic" but this one is definitely the worst of all the "kid" shows I am "forced" to watch as of lately.

Its like, how many annoying, brainless characters can we jam into a TV series with Jonny Gray? A lot. More than enough to go around in this poor excuse for entertainment. Zero common sense evident. The main character "Kit" is plenty unbearable In accordance with her opiate junkie logic, "I'm going to a horse riding school but I'm scared of riding horses." Riiight.. and whats with the segregation themes? Why do the two Indian kids have to be in love? Why do the Americans always stick with each other and hide in the barn discussing little schemes? 90% of my time watching this show was spent thinking "what?...why?..." I don't blame the actors and actresses (mostly) I know its the writers/director telling them to speak and act that way. There are a few (eg: 2) other semi tolerable characters that lend some kind of charm to what would otherwise be a complete train wreck. what do you expect, a familiar case is the show Max & Shred. Jonny Gray is pretty much the only tolerable character in both instances.

Let me start by saying this show is addicting! It's charming and quirky and always leaves me wondering what happens next. I grew up watching The Saddle Club, and Ride is far better! The actors and their stunt doubles look confident on horse back and ride with grace, something an equestrian like myself really appreciates. I HOPE this show will renew for another season! Now, some critiques. Can we talk about how ignorant the main character (Kit)is? She constantly defies authority, outright refuses to grow and learn as a rider unless she rides the horse she wants to ride, and is so cheesy/outgoing more so than normal it makes me cringe whenever she isn't having a serious conversation. I can only hope that eventually, should another season be produced, she gets some character development and growth (and maturity). Aside from Kit, all of the other characters are super lovable and relatable! An issue I've noticed is their consistency. Elaine's horse is shown to be a sport/warm blood breed when standing, however it's "stunt double" horse is a draft. They didn't even bother shaving off the drafts feathers and thick coat to make it look more realistic! I love the lightheartedness of the show, but I'd also love to see the characters have more realistic/mature moments. I get that it's marketed to kids, but us equestrians don't get many good horse shows. If the writers made the show even just a small bit more mature I would weep with joy! love love love RIDE
