As a general rule taking a horse at speed back to the barn is not a great idea (even if you turn around), easy way to make a barn sour horse and an anxious excited horse ie the jigging Lady was doing, you want focus on trails to be relaxation then add speed slowly never towards “home” Next ride I would be walking up the hill towards home only - just my two cents
Your comment is more than 2 cents. It is true also it for everyone else's safety. If they want to do any thing above a walk do it away from home. And when going back to home walk this is a cooling down time if any one is hot. I have seen so many quiet horses ruin this way. Thanks for mentioning it maybe they will rethink of their trail riding habits. Once a horse gets going it can jump a 4 to 5 foot fence.
Its rubish that your just doing riding shorts your videos are short anyway i liked your riding videos and now you dont show them just goats that do nothing and thats it why
Wow what a great horse!❤ When do we see a riding video? I am a little disappointed that we get to see so little riding. You see the smile on sophies face that says everything ❤
I think Sophie needs to focus on trot and canter and not gallop. Not yet. Galloping is a lot faster than a canter. I'm happy that she feels really comfortable with her new horse. She needed this.
Why would she cut the feathers off of her trainer's personal horse? Sorry, but she kind of needs to be set straight, because changing how a horse naturally looks just because you don't like it is disrespectful. The feathers would've offered Lady some extra protection. Same with the forelock. I don't understand why Sophie doesn't like hair being on a horse. It's not her business to mess with somebody else's horse.
I try to always be in sight when they are on a horse. I don't think anyone should ride alone. I've seen a lot of accidents happen . I'm also always outside with our animals ans enjoy being with them. They go off on the trail together and I don't follow.
Question: are you planning on getting a gelding so storm can have a buddy? Been wondering that for awhile now. Vinny and william seem to enjoy spending time together. Maui : i gotta help her realize that its still her house. No need to be jealous. Its a work in progress. Last night was the first night all three were out in the living room at the same time. All things considered: yeah maui growled and hissed at him when he walked by. But im hoping given time she'll realize that they can be friends. Just like she and vinny are. Laura how come you didnt ride penny? Why did gabby instead?
It’s so wonderful to have a horse you feel confident and safe on! I was Sophie when I was a kid my sister and I were obsessed with trail riding all the time and being with our horses, it makes for some incredible memories to remember forever!
Lady's so happy with Sophie, this will be interesting to see HOW Gabby and penny get ON. She's so obsessed with lady .And it's SO good to see Sophie so happy .Take care and all the best. 😊😊😊😊👍👍👍👍💖💟
I forgot to comment the other day when you said what can you add to lady to make a name. I thought you might like to know that I'm the uk, we call ladybugs, ladybirds :)
I think she was referring to Gabby. Strom was her first horse and is wonderful but does not love trails and does not like to do more advanced levels of work that gabby is capable of
Sophie is a bit to heavy for storm and if she was talking abt gabby she means that gabby has gotten to a certain level where she needs a horse that can do more
Please don’t put storm with the mares. He just keeps penny on edge and definitely will be mean to lady. Just board him at the lesson barn where he can be with geldings
