A Traumatic Day Showing 😱 || Show Prep, GRWM and more! 

Thank you for your comment, it’s something I’ve already considered 🥰. I think it just shows how unpredictable they can be!

Thank you so so much for your kind words! I always get jealous of my friends competing and then when I do go (I don’t have transport which is why it isn’t very often) I realize that it is WAY to stressful 😂 I try and go to have a bit of fun and change of scenery but Holly often has other ideas. We’ve changed saddles and she’s lost a bit more weight since this video so hopefully we might get to go and do a bit more this summer 🥰

Have you had chance to watch the Lemieux unboxing video? If you watch that video you will get to see how she’s going now 😊

I know it was extremely stupid (and dangerous) of me to do that, I honestly wasn’t thinking. If you watch some of my recent videos (like the Lemieux unboxing/try on) you’ll see that I do it properly and tie her up to the head collar 🥰

@@michellechloe aw we all have those days!!!

no u are not the only one

@@michellechloe we have all done it don't worry

Thank you. I rarely go to shows because I don’t have my own transport (it was my friends trailer), but I’m definitely going to invest in a leather one next time. Thank you for the kind words though, I thought I handled it terribly, I just froze 🙈

@@michellechloe get a cheap leather one too, they are more likely to break. Yeh but just letting the horse figure itself out isnt the worst thing you could do. Once she broke it she stood calmly and didnt bolt.

@@michellechloe the bailing twine is also wayyyyyy to thick, it should be 7 strands on the loop.

I had never heard of this happening (or experienced it before), but I’ve seen quite a few comments now saying that this has happened to them. It’s actually quite scary! I’m definitely going to use a leather head collar and tie from the side if I ever get to use one again

I’m glad you think so 🥰 I did debate not including it but if it means I can bring awareness and stop it happening to someone else, then it is worth it

Oh my gosh!! Thank you so much! I honestly can’t believe I’ve reached this milestone 😱 thank you for supporting me 🥰

I love leather head collars but couldn’t find mine for this show... I’ll definitely make sure to pack it next time 😂 Thank you for watching and engaging with me 🥰

Wouldn’t touch cheap head collars with a 30ft barge pool

Aww thank you, that is so kind of you 🥰

@@michellechloe ofc! It is so true I just can't believe you don't have millions more people need to know about you

she wasn’t near the horse, she ran over becuase a horse was in destress

I forget how almost everyone does 😂😂 maybe we have a super talent

Thank you so much, it is very sweet of you to say!! Hopefully one day I will 🥰

I bet you will x

Hi, she wasn’t in season. Just being a cow that day 🙈 but thank you for suggesting it, it is a good idea!

Thank you so much 🥰

Thank you 🥰

Thank you!! I had never done it before so had no idea what I was doing 😂 maybe I’ll give it another go one day xx

Kudos for giving it a go, hope you've had less traumatic outings since! "Just keep swimming, swimming, swimming" as Dory says 😊 we do it for the love of our horses and to show em off, doesn't matter what folk think, cos we think our babies are the shizz! 😁

Thank you! I’m pretty it’s just a shires one, you can get them from R&R or EBay. I’ll see if I can find a link 😊 xx

This is pretty similar: gsequestrian.co.uk/products/hy-deluxe-padded-head-collar?variant=5061162696737&gclid=CjwKCAjwjuqDBhAGEiwAdX2cjxl3CNE2pcSDl3veIeQ1Bb1EKLGhYFMQ793sYkTwsr7VdyBYkZJ_fhoCfncQAvD_BwE

@@michellechloe Thank you so much! Hope Holly’s okay now! Xx

Me too

shows you how forgiving horses are though, she spooked at the trailer, and just came right back down like a mostly trusting horse would do.

He was such a good boy! She fully came into season about a week after this, so I think it was a part of it. She had also been turned away for nearly a year so this was her first outing since her break and I think she was a bit overwhelmed (and she’s a drama Queen anyway)

Oh nvm her halter got stuck. See this is the exact reason there are break away halters and I NEVER use normal halters when away from home, trailering, ect. If they're in the stall tied to a saftey hook or being walked that's my only exception

Yes! It’s so easy to use and free. I usually do it on my laptop, but I have done quite a few videos on my phone too (as I film on a 12 pro) 🥰

@@michellechloe I do too 😀😀

Hi Jean 🥰

you can clearly see the horse is tied to bailling twine however it was the headcoller that had caught to a piece from trailer this may have been a scary moment for this girl so be nice

the horse was tied up safely. dont comment if you are uneducated on the subject. this is a real a common thing that happens with these trailers so i tie mine up at the front now. i think your comment couldve easily been prevented if you actually watched the video properly :/

Thank you for being so lovely. The reason we use bail-a-band is because it snaps before a lead rope. It was honestly terrifying because I have no idea how her head collar got caught and I had no idea what to do

I had never experienced anything like it before, or heard of it happening. Thank you for letting me know you tie up from the front, I will definitely do that if I ever get to use a trailer again 🥰

@@michellechloe yeah I have a box the same as yours and I have had it happen twice so I just tie up nice and tight on the side! I think people need to realise stuff like this happens with horses and it’s nobody’s fault! :))

There is not a campaign to stop horses from getting tied to horse boxes, the campaign is to stop horse tethering at the sides of roads, roundabouts etc nothing to do with shows! When you go out competing and showing on your own, just you and your horse where do you groom, tack up, wash down and rug up etc? Yes it's great when you go 2 or 3 day eventing as you get an onsite stable but shows like this one and all 1 day shows do not have facilities like that! and i've competed for 20yrs or so as well as having a diploma in Animal Welfare and a L3 in Horse care and managment plus a L3 diploma in behaviour. There is no right or wrong answer in tying your horse to a trailer! The percentage of incidents against the number of horses out in shows everyday is in single digits! In fact there are more human injuries caused by there horse when trying to do things in a narrow trailler! and not tieing them up creates a very high percentage of loose horses causing knock on incidents and putting everyione in danger then there ever has been through horses tied to there trailer! It's all about buying the right 'quick release' products, I always recommend the 'High rise tie' which I used in every competition I went too!
