Tonic, my pure Irish Draught, keeping up with the Thoroughbreds doing what he loves most. Great to meet like-minded people that enjoy a thrusters day as much as I do!!
Tonic making light work of the Ledbury Hedges that are notoriously challenging. Looking at the first hedge trying to work out where's best to jump and galloping up to it aiming at a different much bigger part but trusting Tonic enough to keep kicking on.
We did have a bit of a tumble, but both Tonic and I are fine, just my ego - still better than last year though!

You and Tonic make a great pair. Glad you found him 😊

@sarahcooper3378 Год назад

That was a bit scary! What a horse he is. He deserves a good wash down, feed and free time, and you deserve a large snifter of something. Great day .

@egeegee7146 Год назад

He’s such a honest horse Monty. Be careful not to over face him. He can stall a bit in flight and straightness is key with already massive hedges. But I’ve jumped plenty with a dodge the bodies on landing ! It’s a rush.

@canteringtroughlife 7 месяцев назад

it's so wonderful to see how you encourage and praise your horse the first 5 minutes with the HUGE hedges. it makes me so happy by even watching it, how you help your horse to get over the hedges.

@horstdawin5018 Год назад

You are such a good rider. Thank you to take me with you and Tonic, to watch you

@tomonhorse Год назад

Well done tonic and Monty !! Great job giving the thoroughbreds a run for their money in Ledbury big hedge country !! What a star 🌟 🎉❤

@karinstrothenke3856 Год назад

Incredible hedges and fences ! Thanks for also showing the jumps from a different angle. Then you can tell how high those hedges are 😯👍🏻

@MrMousley Год назад

exhilarating, challenging. I'm exhausted just watching it. Have missed your videos, glad you've posted.

@lavenderhillfarmwales Год назад

So good to see you testing out new terrain and simultaneously supporting other packs. I would have loved to have ridden with the Ledbury a while back, but I doubt I would have had the guts to take on those monster hedges. I know I have said it before but I will say it again. Tonic is a phenomenal horse and so genuine. What I would give to have one chance to ride a horse like that. You are so fortunate and you don't take it for granted. What a fantastic time you are having with him. All the best for the rest of 2023.

@lois4155 Год назад

I field master for the Highmoor Bloodhounds, we don't have vast amounts of jumping country - and watching this I'm grateful for that! Scares me shitless just watching you - what a horse though, as you say!

@ursulatevis5146 Год назад

Wow! Fantastic hedge hopping. Those were some big ones! So glad you both were ok after the tumble. Tonic is a trooper and just goes on. So relaxed. Thank you for the video of the trail hunt. I was holding my breath over some of the hedges!!

@ericaknesek3266 Год назад

Wow I’ve never seen so many adrenaline junkies in one place😂😂 looks like great fun🗽☘️

@lyncheeseman Год назад

Fantastic watching from an armchair. Tonic is certainly a great horse. Have you got a horse called Gin. Lol

@juliaseabrook3712 Год назад

Thank you Monty and Tonic for another thrilling and fast paced outing.

@ec.showjumping Год назад

What a horse! You two are machines 🔥

@philippcheyne9987 Год назад

Well done Monty and Tonic, it looked really bloody scary!!

@user-gc3lm2nh7b 8 месяцев назад

Brilliant!! Its great that you include parts that go a bit ***s up!! Its soooo encouraging!!! Glad you're both ok!! Your videos are easily the most fun to watch!! Keep them coming!! 👍

@Roheryn100 Год назад

I agree about the field master - he must have nerves of steel to lead you lot ! PS Love your full skirted hunt coat. Make please ?

@jacky3580 Год назад

I’ve watched this a couple of times and my heart still jumps with you! Tonic is special, you’re a lucky man.

@HollyJordan15 Год назад

I’m not trying to be a kill joy as I love your videos; but are you ever worried about jumping him so young (and over some fairly big jumps at that) together with the terrain you go over? As you know just with regards to his growth & potential injuries. I understand most of the ground will be soft, you must hit some hard bits from time to time. Also that was some hard fall you both took.

@tomkibbe2124 Год назад

That was certainly heart in your mouth time. Good honest horse. Well done.

@almirakline6070 4 месяца назад

😮 exciting! Glad you & Tonic were both ok.

@amandanewman9189 Год назад

I was frightened to death just watching that!

@niawebbon Год назад

Amazing riding

@niawebbon Год назад

Those hedges were GINOURMOUS. WEll done tonic and you

@Loocarrx Год назад

You’re my fave person and horse - ever ❤

@mustangsally4362 Год назад

That was a bit scary Mary, but well done to you both you are a formidable team 💪

@lindamorton7496 Год назад

Tonic! What a horse!

@karenstonehouse4350 6 месяцев назад

That's 4 of your clips I've watched now and I love how you tell him he's a good boy at every fence, he's a superstar and what a gentleman! Which could not be said for the cutting up that still goes on! I miss jumping so much but I broke my back 7 years ago and gave up jumping 😂firmly in a dressage saddle now or showing 😊

@bethje30 Год назад

Hi Monty, wow those are some hedges!! Did Tonic just salute the other horse after the first hedge, casually on the go? He is seems like such a kind horse. I love that you are still so enthusiastic about what you guys are doing, genuinely happy and not blasé. Lot's of fun to watch and so impressed....Oh I didn't even finish the video....oh dear you guys fell!!!!

@cynthiakranz1899 Год назад

Awesome hunt, Tonic is so calm and talented. Sorry about the fall but all is well. I enjoyed watching

@dorothywhiting3453 7 месяцев назад

😃....I love your little ''heehees''..........😅😆😁

@dorothywhiting3453 7 месяцев назад

he is incredible for a 5 year old......

@whichypoohs 11 месяцев назад

What a mum you have she’s amazingly calm

@canteringtroughlife 7 месяцев назад

the fall was really scary! but it's wonderful you immediately checked if tonic was alright before you checked if you were alright.❤

@rumkugel9376 Год назад

Oh mann, was für ein Schreck 🙈 Zum Glück ist Euch nichts schlimmes passiert!! 🍀 Ihr seit großartig 👍

@katherinestead708 Год назад

wow, way to go, those hedges were huge!! glad both of you were ok, very scary moments.

@josephhelyenek9203 Год назад

Happy to see you again. Does your season stop at the end of March

@victoriacollier8121 Год назад

Tonic is an absolute gun Monty!! You are such a kind rider and you give him the confidence. Not sure about the hedge jumps though. I would be worried about my horse falling or being scratched by the branches😁😁

@mollymarshall5710 Год назад

Well done!

@ywaiming Год назад

Thanks for sharing. It must have been a challenging ride. There were so many riders falling off...hope everyone's ok.

@craigmauricecowming5859 3 месяца назад

Great footage, ur horse is a good jumper. but boot him into a few more of the ditches , he should be winging some of them, as i said great footage keep it coming 👍

@PersonalTriumph2022 Год назад

Wow two horses fell at that one jump, crazy !

@andrewelliott4436 Год назад

I can feel every jump.

@MLOCharmer Год назад

You have a tendency to float to the left. Keep your horse straight and that will cure falling at drops on the opposite side.

@juliaforsyth8332 Год назад

Tonic is a cracking horse. Please, please don't overface him.

@staceybarnhart2611 Год назад

Ole Tonic is a beast

@jacky3580 3 месяца назад

That drop after the jump, the horses falling are a scare. Riders assume the risk but the horses loyally following direction. I hope no injuries.

@susanbilodeau7793 Год назад

For once a sunny day and the ground was not all mucky!

@CarolStJohn-ev9ry Год назад

That was some gnarly jumping going on! Glad you and Tonic are okay. Geez, how many people/horses get hurt on those rides?

@ericaknesek3266 Год назад

1 question. I was always told not to let a ‘ hot ‘ horse drink after a ride like the one you completed… or did tonic have a bit of a cool down ?🗽☘️

@lafonevc5663 Год назад

That’s actually a myth, while some overworked horses develop cramp / colicky symptoms that’s actually due to overwork not the water. Important to let them hydrate and cool down ..which is why you’ll see horses being bathed in cold water / hoses and water showers and allowed to drink after intensive competition etc. if your horse gets sick after a lot of work it’s your work that made them sick. You can look up research on horses competing in the olympics for interesting information on the importance of hydration and cooling.

@equine2020 8 месяцев назад

Its been proven you can allow a drink.

@susantobias33 Год назад

I must say I think you are a little insane, almost too scary to watch! Those hedges take great courage on the part of both horse and rider!

@susanford6926 Год назад

I think you &tonic did great, can you tell me what kind of bit you use with tonic?

@niawebbon Год назад

I love how you praise hm so much

@sjh4803 Год назад

Some massive hedges, but well worth 10 quid in the Tumblers fund to cover that country. Great day out.

@angelstar5313 Год назад

I love watching your videos. What breed of horse is Tonic? He's beautiful

@CourtneyBlythe Год назад

He's an Irish Draught!

@smalloscar1 Год назад

Hey well done, hope that fall didn’t knock your confidence . do you think some jump training over bigger jumps would help? The bigger they are the more correct one has to be. Tonic is a scopey jumper. Look forward to more videos.

@andrewhunter9770 Год назад

the problems seems to be the landing zone

@josephhelyenek9203 Год назад

Yes sir, unfortunately here in the states the hunts are loosing territory because of development and the anti-hunting crowd. I enjoy reliving my youth through your cap-cam

@niawebbon Год назад

How did he jump sideways!!!

@marysheehy4733 Год назад

Those hedges look 5 ft or more

@PersonalTriumph2022 Год назад

Why is there a cap over the helmet ? I see this a lot, curious

@lafonevc5663 Год назад

It’s not a cap it’s a hat cover or a silk. It gives a traditional riding hat like look to helmets that do not have a peak and provides a tidy and smart appearance (the wrong sort of peak can cause severe injuries in a fall so hat covers have a very soft fabric peak). They can be had in a range of colours, so they can be dark like those on a lot of riders in this video (smart for hunting where colours are mandated) or coordinated with silks or colours for racing, cross country riding etc.

@gracex650 10 месяцев назад

how do you get your horse back when it takes off?

@cyxxmm 6 месяцев назад

they go with the heard. people will catch them and help you most of the time

@liannahq 4 месяца назад

They run to the other horses most likely so someone else from the hunt will catch it

@josephhelyenek9203 Год назад

Why do we seldom see the hounds

@msgpoloeventing Год назад

On big thrusters days we go out to jump and not some much to watch the hounds. I love watching the hounds but sometimes it’s good to let off some steam!!

@josephhelyenek9203 Год назад

Opps

@clairewerthman2467 5 месяцев назад

Fences & ditches yes. Large brush hedges no. Most of you seem to plow thru the hedges not jump them 🙃

@andrewhunter9770 Год назад

What about this agreement: after a horse fell the event has to end for this horse. Horses tend to keep on running especially when in a herd, ignoring pain and injuries for a while, as riders (should) know.

@charlotte.eq1 Год назад

u talk so quietly lol u did a very good job tho my heart dropped when u went over the hedges sad u fell hope u r ok

@liannahq 4 месяца назад

Yall ride well but i don't get why this can continue and is called off safe when multiple people have a rotational fall and fall with the horses which is very dangerous for rider and horse. I find that really dangerous

@clairewerthman2467 8 месяцев назад

Like your videos…..but this one is questionable, sorry. I thought this was more “plowing” thru the hedges not jumping. Well done but not my cup of tea for horse or rider.

@cyxxmm 6 месяцев назад

this is what you do with hedges as its like a brush jump. the top of the hedge may have been to big to jump straight over it and the horse was stalling mid air and rotating and thats what caused the fall. most horses do it out hunting you find though and it dose not look as bad as it does using a camera.

@mandycook9037 Год назад

Cruel and unnecessary should be stopped

@pumpkinhead8593 5 месяцев назад

@lucane6820 It's illegal fox hunting. A cruel blood sport.

@lucane6820 5 месяцев назад

@pumpkinhead8593 Most 'Hunts' are fake, and the dogs are chasing a scent that has deliberately been placed to mimic what it would be like without harming a fox. These hunts are perfectly legal and have been planned out for riders and horses to enjoy. Basically, all they're doing it running around and jumping fences. I'm not sure if this one is real or not though.
