EVENT FAIL! | LOST CONCENTRATION & PARENTS GIVE UP? || VLOG 52 

Oh my goodness they are way too hard on you !!! Well sat, well ridden and bloody well recovered !! Great attitude also , lots of love to you Ashley xxxxxxx

It’s okay Ashley, sometimes we have some bad shows, I remember my first show I got really nervous and got bucked off. It’s part of the sport and I’m okay. Love your content and remember not everyones perfect!

This makes your parents seem hard but having watched most of your videos they are also your biggest supporters. I think some people forget that they are pushing you to focus on what's in front and not what has gone. It is disappointing when things go wrong but I find your partnership with your horses amazing, they are 3 different characters and you switch easily between them and have had some great placings this year. I am looking forward to next season and seeing how you get on.

great riding ashley your braver than me..im definitely on your side...nasty harry he should be put on the naughty step for being nasty to ashley...lol but apart from that your parents are so supportive of you with great camaraderie along the way great vlog..xx

Chin up Ash, you recovered well after that rail! I think I honestly would have gone over his shoulder, so way to stick on and go on to smash cross country! Love your dad's humor but I would've totally cried-always on your side!

Honestly Ashley you succeed most of the time and if you always succeed there will be nothing to live! Hopes up hight for next show, if you saw the things that a did wrong in horse riding and some of the things that happened you would be having a good time. I realised 2 weeks ago I'm on grade 4 in horse riding!

Lol I love your dad's humor! Luv all your team too! ❤ Merry Christmas to all

Having negative parents like that at my event would do my f’in head in WHAT A DRAIN

Darling dad, just shut up! :-) and I mean that in the nicest possible way, but just!

I know your dad is a jokester, but all joking aside, even though you didn't like where dressage was, and show jumping might have gone better with different striding, you still capped off the day with a confident and clean xc! You just had an off-day is all. Take the good, learn from the bad, and just keep plugging on! I admire your positive attitude, Ashley. (The parents' too.) Now, I'm in the US, and your "Novice" seems so much bigger than ours. Ours caps at 2 foot 11 inches (under a meter). What height is your Novice?

I really enjoy watching your videos Ashley! You are a great rider and I can't wait to see you get to the Olympics one day! You have fabulous horses and I wish you the very best on your journey :-)

Great Vlog. I was screaming at your dad to stop picking on you lol but I think we need to see Daisy’s halt ay? X

What I love about your vlogs is that there are no prima Donna's, it's very real and utterly genuine from your family who clearly worship you but love to tear you down lol...your dad is just rhe funniest man going as I'm sure he just says whatever comes into his head...no filters and this makes it so relatable and normal 🤣....you are very humble and generous to share the real you, the downside of mistakes and the collected joy of success.....I'm finding I'm addicted to catching up on past videos having only just started watching you 😅....you clearly have a blessed life 🥰🥰😍

Dads only Joshing Ashley,he’s very proud of you,we can all tell.Have a great Xmas team!

OMG Dad you are so hard (remind me of my dad lol), Team Ashley on this one. But don't ever worry about quality of video as you guys are amazing no matter how or what you show always entertaining and love watching.

You recovered so well after that pole, sure the halt wasn't great but it looked like it was square just not straight on the centre line so not even that bad?! You're a bloody good rider Ashley and someone myself (and others I'm sure) look up to, don't let your dad tell you any different though I'm sure it's just tough love!!

We all have good days and bad Ashley but you can count on your dad with the comedy 😂😂😂great vlog all the same.tfs😎🏇😎

Chin Up Ashley 🙌🏼🙌🏼💪🏼💪🏼 everyone has a bad day or bad even split second and to be fair it was just a bad stride so please don’t beat yourself up about I’m sure Max has already forgotten about it ❤️❤️

Impressive that it was only the one rail in show jumping. After ploughing through that fence, it would have been easy to knock down several more and you didn't. Maximus is great.

At the end of the day they’re not machines and we’re not robots! I think other than the miscommunication of striding the rest of the round was lovely and his cross country looked fab! He looked so keen and made it look like an 80cm!! Don’t be so hard on yourself (which I know is easier said then done!) xx

You are a sublime person and rider you are simply like all great riders very hard on your self, take some pressure off and have fun at smaller events, I remember reading a book i think it was called centered riding speaking about not being too over focused on the job .. to remain aware of your environment as well as the tunnel vision keeping a balance between both that softness again .. keep thinking and looking ahead and the flow of the whole picture, course.. BravO all the family Maximus is gorgeous xx

Bloody hell Harry! That was a bit harsh at the end! Turkey slap for you! Mum made me a bit emosh when she said maybe they should help you to focus! Absolutely- it takes the team! Well done Ash fab riding and brilliant to keep Maximus together after the tangle in the SJ! Many would have just buggered up the rest of the course! Top ten fab!!!!

Watching this makes me glad I don’t have horsey parents 😂 as long as I don’t fall off it’s good enough for them! 😅

Love your every video!!!

I love you and your horses they are all so beautiful ❤️

Definitely on Ashleys side 🤣

Ashley it is not your fault do not worry

Honestly a great ride! Just a silly rail but things happen and the cross country looked great. As long as you are happy and learn something, that’s all that matters ☺️

Thought you did great! Well sat on the showjumping round. Love watching your vlogs :)

I think your dad was a bit too harsh this time! You still did really well!

It's probably not easy, trying to be a youtuber and compete simultaneously - don't beat yourself up, it's okay to analyse the errors, but negative self (or parental) speak ain't gonna help. You're a darned good rider or you wouldn't be where you are today. You both read that showjump fence wrong and cos you were miles away you couldn't help him, so lesson learned, leave youtube outside the ring to others, you'll just have to cobble together the footage after ;)

We all have days that we are not 100% focused! I think ya did great! Live and learn always 😃

We all have bad days. The bad days are what makes us good riders. Keep going Ash, your amazing

Wow never saw this side of your parents. 🙈 whatever happened to having fun first. Overall it was a great day. Max had a great confident cross country and you recovered well in the SJ. Well done Ash. We all think you and Max are a fantastic team 🥰

Your an inspiration, love checking out your videos, what's the make of the rug your boy is wearing?

The short of it is sports is never easy and this sport is very hard! Did your parents ride eventing? You smashed the last part of the event and some little something bothered you on the first 2. I think you are terrific, just practice and come back and nail them, you are very good at this sport👍👍❤️🤍💙🇺🇸☀️

Ik a year late but I love watching old vlogs and seeing how much you’ve improved and it’s amazing I think you did amazing at the dressage just max wasn’t feeling it the show jumping is good only had one pole down but it could’ve been a lot worst and you and max smashed that cross country it was amazing I’ll always be there for you ash I remember when you had 6k and look at you now I am so proud of you keep going I love you so much and you appreciate everyone and you and your family’s bond is amazing good luck on the new house can’t wait to see it fully done (ps maximus is very cute in the morning)

Harry moans too much at you Ashley.You couldnt let anyone down, your remarkable with yr team of horses.Your going to reach everything you dream of as You work so hard.Your my no1 eventer 👌🏻👌🏻👏🏻👏🏻👍🏻👍🏻✨💫😘🐴😘xxxxxxxx

Great vlog! It’s nice your parents can take the mic and you take it well! Lovely horse!

I can't believe your parents go with you eventing. Neither of mine even watched one of my lessons, I feel neglected.

Wow what is that amazing travel rug

Hi Ashley. Don't beat yourself up. It happens to the best of us. Love your content. I've been looking out for your next vlog. It's not an easy sport to get into. Blood sweat and tears. Determination is the key. Please keep going. Hopefully one day I bump into you to say hello 👋.. xx 💗

We've all had shows like this. It happens!!

We have had Lord land and kick, Baron boot him on , so Count concentrate had to come up sometime lol x

Aw well done Ashley. You and Maximus did amazingly. Also anyone else notice that woman at the very end slapping her horse 😡😡

I am so, so impressed by how quickly Max was back with you after that scary (for a horse) rail down. You give your horses such confidence it's amazing. And as for the concentrating - it must be bloody hard to find a balance between being competetive at a high level as a career (clearly got the talent) and this youtube thingie where - yes, Dad - getting footage is kind of important. But I'm sure you'll figure it out. :) Have a lovely christmas!

Good job ashely!

We were there i cant quite think of the fence number but we were next to the park and my friends mum ran up to u

What breed is Zeb? He's in amazing shape for being 18yrs old. My grand prix show jumper had to stop competing at 16. He still had the heart for it, but all that jumping had really taken a toll on him physically. By the time he was 18, huge deep chunks of his hooves were literally falling off & the vet had to fill in the holes with this silicone epoxy stuff. He still loved to jump & had a habit of jumping the paddock & pasture fences. And I still jumped him occasionally over jumps up to 1 meter high. He was like zeb in that he loved to jump but didnt care much for dressage, though he knew how to perform all the tests very well when schooling at home, he would get overly excited at the show or event...let's just say my horse wasnt meant for dressage. You're a very courageous rider. Those 4* xc jumps are scary & huge with a much higher potential for severe injury to you and your horse than there is on regular show jumps. Personally I hate the tall jumps you cant see through or see over. Good luck with your riding career. I will continue to actively follow you & reccomend your channel to my friends

I’ll stick up for you Ashley, , you Do a wonderful job

I think you and Maximus handled the flying rail very well. He got untangled and on you went👍🐴 Had a very nice round and super xc!

For an eventing fail you still ended the day in the top 10!? Great job Ashley! Your parents are pretty hard on you, but everyone has those days/rides. On to the next!

OMG well done Ashley and one day i was cantering down the gallops and my pony bucked and bucked and bucked and bucked there was a lot of bucks and i went on my ponys bum a she bucked agan and i fell off and broke my arm so only my lilttle sister got to ride are pony and i felt sad bc i didt get to ride but when i did we started riding bearback and i didt fall off so proply when you start something new you might stay on :0 hope i cheered you up :)

why do you only put one studd in each foot ?

When you nocked the jump pole down it looked like at one point he was holding it in his mouth

Love your vlogs. Just a quick question, why is it you brush that pattern on your horses at shows?

Everyone has bad shows yesterday I nearly fell off at a show when my horse did a halt stop at the end. Hope you and your horses are ok

I bet your father means, you scared him, for a second today. Especially after your big fall. I bet he just doesn't know how to say he wants you to focus and compete for you and your horse's safty.

Haha Your dads funny. You are awesome

Good video. I really enjoy your videos. In most of the video’s, you n your horse didn’t come together as one. It was like two separate people trying to do their own thing. You need to come together as one.

It happens to the best of us. Great riding keep it up

" what do we do" "WE LAND AND GO" got me loughing so loudly

Say hi to your dad from me and tell him dads should be more supportive... :D Also, I think Maximus is my favorite of your horses. He's got such a cute face, and personality, and I love his colour and how he looks in the dressage (but love him in SJ and XC as well of course).

Oh my gosh this must have been such a stressful time xxx

Love you Ash. Without the down, we can't appreciate the highs. Tkh

I thought my dad was annoying but yours 10 times more I don’t know it could get worse

Your dad is so funny 😂. Top 10 is really good! Keep your head up!

I think your dad comes off as harsh whenever he is the most gutted for you. The “what if’s” can drive a parent to come across as too critical. I’m not giving him a pass, but a lot of times, parents have to learn to bite their tongues rather than express their disappointment on behalf of their child right in the moment. Harry, remember to pack your chill pills-they really do help. Speaking from experience here! Love your channel and the ups and downs that you all share. It takes the entire family to get Ashley to an event, and you all do it more brilliantly than most people ever could.

Still a top 10 Ashley (-: Marion

I COULD NEVER COMPETE, WITHOUT MY DADDY MAKING ME CRY. YOU'RE A TOUGH GIRL, ASHLEY. IN ALL OF MY BINGE WATCHING, I'VE NEVER HEARD YOU BLAME YOUR HORSE, NOR ANY PERSON, OTHER THAN YOURSELF, WHEN IT ISN'T PERFECT. (PROBABLY, THAT'S HOW YOU HOOKED ME. THAT, AND THE NUMBER OF POLITE WAYS, YOU SAY THAT BELOVED ZEBEDEE IS A HIGH-DRIVE HANDFUL. ❤) WHAT A PLEASURE, TO WATCH.

Go Ashley!! 🥰🥰🥰

Great job for persevering and staying strong

Still a good show. Well done i think you did great

Oh Ashley it's okay ,next time it will be better !Sometimes we have bad days, it's part of the sport. So...keep working! You're a great rider.

Hows little Harry going?

Owwwww you poor parents no sleep due to a barking dog. That makes you grumpy 😜. But family that is close to you are often de best critics.... I know my mother is my trainer and my dad is a very experienced rider. They could be quite harsh but you will only learn from your mistakes. You will do better next time

You did a brilliant job!! Your dad makes me laugh so much 🙈

Sorry you didn’t have the best day but I’ve got to say this is such an incredibly well made Vlog. I loved every minute of it 😍

hey omg!

Dude, you rode that really well and got top ten - nowt to be ashamed of there. If anything, I'd suggest a bit of mindfulness, or some other kind of mind-focusing technique, to practice just before entering the dressage and show jumping arena - because your riding is excellent and I think most of it is nerves and adrenaline rush that the horse is probs picking up on. As always, love your vids. Merry Christmas, Harrison famalam! xx

Have you heard that Todd is back up for sale

Go Ashley!! I admire you!

Your dad is harsh 😂😂😂

Oh you did so well..! you're an amazing inspiration!! I think maybe it's time for your Dad and Daisy to get out competing....see how his halt is?? xx

Why are you so pretty🥰

You did sooooo welll|

Dad is obviously just being dramatic for the vlog 🤣🙈. You and Max are a great team 💪🏻

Geeze, their mouth takes the brunt of it doesn't it?

We appreciate Ashley thinking about us :) Good job!!

🌸always have your back, no doubt ! Hugs to max!🌸

Fabulous XC round which is what you wanted to achieve. Your dad is so cheeky such a dry sense of humour & your No 1 supporter, love it

I think you should take your dad up on the offer, if he’s going to talk to you like that after a mistake that anyone could have made, he doesn’t need to be at the event next time! I’m sure you get enough criticism from strangers on the internet, don’t need it from him too

We all have days like this and that's okay we can't be perfect all the time 🥰

Hiii ❤

It was a mistake it happens u are a brilliant rider put it behind u and smash next season x

Everyone has bad shows, and they shouldn’t have been so hard on you. Sometimes there has to be regression so there can be progression!

💖 Great recovery and killer XC☀️👏😍

My dad has exactly the same humour 🤣🤣🤣

Great video as always Ashley! Just curious, can you tell me what kind of helmet and body protector you are wearing? Cheers

I love your dad 😂
