i’m literally binge watching tack shopping videos rn because i’m going down to the tack shop on monday and im excited 😭 i loveeee tack shopping it feels like christmas every time
I didnt ever go to a showjumping show, but my trainer is planning to make me go! Im so excited. You did so good for your first time. I jumped my first 110cm today and im so proud of that!(im not trying to brag or anything im just really excited that i jumped my record)❤ i also really enjoyed this video as alway❤s
I did the same, submitted even though I probably could have entered with some better footage of me and my girl now. But never mind, I wanted to get it done so it was done and I couldn't change my mind haha :) x
Please stop the hand framing its so oldskool. Think mini is probably worried about leaving her new yard shes not been there long probably benefit from someone walking out with you a few times to build her confidence or go with another horse? ❤👍
Unfortunately, that's just something I do, so better get used to it!😅 That's going to be my next step after she's been long reined a few times out and about (: She has been out multiple times on her own already, just not in the past week or so!
Haha you’ve got a stern but nice instructor too 😂😂. Best sorts for getting more experienced in riding. I’m a newbie and I’ve only been riding since Jan 2023.
Hi! She isn’t lame. She’s just a baby who’s isn’t used to boots just yet, she was also just shod for the first time recently so she’s also adjusting to that! (:
She is extremely level-headed and even-tempered it seems but just remember that may change as she settles. Do you guys have much experience starting OTTBs off the track? It's okay if not, but I would definitely recommend consulting in a local trainer if not just to get some professional pointers. The breed is exceptional but can be slightly difficult in early training if handled improperly. The biggest thing to work on is consistent inside leg to outside hand to slowly encourage her to soften and to drop her neck. Don't tie her head down to try to force the motion ever as it will result in her becoming improperly balanced and potentially irritated. The great thing is that it doesn't seem like you guys are in a rush so you all can really take your time and go slow with it. Teaching her to balance on a lunge and by teaching her driving will also significantly improve her balance and confidence, it just takes lots of time. Can't wait to see the journey together! 🥰
Hey!!🥰 She is isn't she, we're quite surprised!😂 I've shared a couple TB's in my past, and Luke has had 3 TB's previously which he produced himself since they were youngsters, one he recently just lost💔 - So fear not!! We're also doing all the necessary things to make her as comfy as possible, we've changed her bit to something a lot kinder on the mouth, had her looked at by a farrier who shod her on all 4's, then we've had the dentist out just this morning! I've also got her booked in with a physio who specialises in TB's, which is going to be beneficial💖 Thank you for this comment, I hope you'll enjoy the journey!
Good on you saying you don't need any hate, Plus I thought your mare has the softest eye I've seen in along time. you have a winner. (plus love to the guys, so fun)
Thank you for this comment❤ She really does doesn’t she? She’s such a sweet soul! Haha the guys thank you very much, and told me to tell you to check out their RU-vid channel!😉 @L.J.G.Equine
You both look really good! But, may I suggest getting her checked by a chiropractor just to be in the safe side. My ottb had a lot of back issues from her being of the track.
Nothing beats a TB! You will have so much fun with her, looking forward to watching your journey! I've had my girl a few months now and she's come on great we've already been out to some dressage so competitions to have a little fun I would think are definitely do-able this summer :)
Omg I’m literally kinda in the same boat as you I recently got a ottb who just turned 6 and me and my two friends are trying to get her out of that racing mindset I loved and related to this video so much ❤
