I MESSED UP | Cotswold Cup Champs 

Don't be so worried about this round, Affie jumped her heart out and you did your absolute best, this is just the beginning!!! For vlogmas I would really like to see lessons with like special instructors :)

You and Affie have progressed so much!!! It wasn't that long ago that you were afraid that Affie would never be sound again. Now, the two of you are having glorious adventures. 🎉

Why am I emotional at hobbit saying good luck hanny!! The impulsion over fence two!!! Amazing!

I was the person on the black & white pony walking around the XC warm up with you for a bit, like I said to you there you guys have come such a long way very well done you should be very proud of yourself! my pony was backing off on the last fence we jumped it from a trot 🤦‍♀️ looking forward to see you guys out next season. 🐎

Well done you two. So nice to see Hobbs and Meg there too and what great support and encouragement they gave. Love you lot.

You should be so proud!! You both have come so far this season!! You look like you are enjoying yourself and not so timid!!!❤

well done Han and Affie . Great vlog. ❤❤

She is such an honest pony, she really tries for you. And she did try and jump something at the last fence, and it was a funny looking jump. Well done

Well done Hannah, you and Affie did brilliantly. You've said in previous vlogs that you didn't think you'd even get to compete on Affie with all you had gone through with her and here you are.... having completed a championship! As some instructors have said to me it's onwards and upwards from here!! xx

Beautiful dressage test, her way of going has improved so much and her canter transitions were amazing! It was a very strange test, well done for remembering it!

The last fence was so unlucky. Your rhythm, the lovely canter, no trotting, seeing great strides. ALL of that is night and day from the start of the,season. I think you should chalk this up as a,success overall.......on to next season and great things!!

Aww her little forward pointy ears as you were x country ❤ I know its annoying that last fence, but it's a learning experience and you learn more by your mistakes than you do by being perfect Well done to you both ❤❤

You did brilliantly you have both improved so much and gained so much confidence. Hobbs is so sweet encouraging you.

Han, Hannah! You looked magnificent together. You’ve come so very far. You’re her person and she’s your pony. You have many more memories to be made. Your tenacity and love for the mare is incredible. You are brave and resilient, and a lovely rider. Bloomin’ good on you ❤

You and Affie are completely different from springtime! So much better and more forward, you were riding so determined and she was eating it up. Think of the big picture all winter, and go out and school more book jumps😂.

Great job Han! Don't beat yourself up too much, you two have come so far and it's only up from here!!

You two did great and you have such a wonderful support network with your friends.

Well done, Hannah. You two have come SO FAR and she looks so game. Good job! You should be so happy with your progress.

Hearing Hobbs say "good girl" is one of my favourite (comfy slippers) quotes ☺

I know its hard but I try and view run outs, stops, refusals, fails, etc., as "atleast my horse is being honest" it gives me something to work on. Plus I don't know if it's just me but I'd rather a refusal, or a run out in this case, rather then my horse try to jump it unconfidently and get herself or us hurt. Either way Han, run out or not you did beautifully for your last event of the season, can't wait to see you back at it next year!

Well done. Such a shame about the penalties but you both have come so far you should be proud! Affie is looking mega, keep up the good work.

Way to go Han , that was a spooky jump for the last one & a bit sneaky of the course builder . A good lesson to learn though you can’t be complacent until you have crossed the finish line ❤😊

That was a very spooky fence!! You were worried about going into the woods! I wouldn’t stress everything went well. Season number 1! Well done!

Ohh mateeeee you & that watch 🫣🫣🤣!! I’m so proud of you though. This is your first season eventing & you have smashed it. People will never truly know what you’ve been through with her to get here. Mega mega pair bring on next season 🎉🎉🎉xx

11:55 am and Han has me over here yawning.

Love Meg’s advice😂❤️. Watching your journey with Affie has been amazing! Do you know where on course you should be at what time to make optimum time, that helps then you just have to check at those spots to know if you are going to fast or to slow. You have come SO FAR and it has been inspiring to watch!!! Way to go!!! Look forward to you and Affies progress over the winter and next year💕

Just remember how far you’ve come! Can definitely see you two out BE80/90 next year ❤

Honestly, she looked FABULOUS on cross country. She was jumping better than I've ever seen her. That was a killer last fence (I kinda spooked at it when you were walking it LOL) and you can't really blame her. In a year she'll have seen more weird fences and won't look at it, but for now, that was a great result! CONGRATS!!!

Best and worst comment of the year, Hannah...... - I'm so competitive that we'll get over the last, if we get that far! 😂😂😂 No, seriously, you did really well!!! Thinking of the progress you've had the last year!!! ❤❤❤ Love you to!!!

You did great! Don’t beat yourself up. Celebrate the fun, adventure and improvement! ❤

Han, I lived in Cirencester, it is beautiful. I miss it so much, I am so glad you enjoyed it. You should be so proud of yourself and affine, you both have come on so far. I can’t wait to see how far you get next year.

Well done, especially on your dressage. It is so cute that you are channeling Hobbit, even though she is not there today, you carry her and Meg with you in your heart. Love it.

Congrats on your first eventing season done with so much positive energy to take into the next season! Well done Han and well done Affs! 🩷

You’ll find as you gain confidence your tendency to growl and shout will be replaced by seat and hands .

Oh Han! You did a Meg... 😅 You have done amazingly well this season, astonishing really considering where you were a year ago. That last fence was like something you see at really high levels, just bigger. Very spooky for your first season! I hope to see lots of arena eventing from you two over the winter, and maybe some pure dressage? If you're going to write times on your arm, make sure they are dark and super legible so you can see them at a glance.

Amazing well done Hannah such an achievement to get to championships 🎉

Well done a Hannah, you have both come on so much this year .

Well done!🎉

Frustrating but so bloody proud of you. You’ve both come so far xx

Stop focusing on the 1 not-so-good fence!!! She was brilliant for 99.9% of the course. Focus on the good stuff!

Don't beat yourself up. You have done so well. Don't forget affie is special. You are lucky you can go places most pssm horses cannot be trailered due to the vibrations upsetting their tummies and muscles. I have to give mine painkillers before he is transported. Even then it takes days for him to settle enough to ride. So I can't compete at all. Enjoy the ride while you still can. Just remember things that normal horses get used to pssm horses sometimes get brain overload. They will sometimes be fantastic and other times not. You will never know. I just think you are brilliant not giving up on her. Would be so nice if you could do a vlog on living with pssm2 horses. It is really not so simple as you make out. Maybe u avoid explaining. Or don't feel confident enough. Believe me someone who has a pssm horse is more than qualified to explain the ups and downs. The laughter and the tears. You really are brilliant.❤❤❤❤

well done x you are both improving so much every event 💘

Well ridden Han!!!!!

This pony is adorable!

You did great! So it wasn't perfect yet, but you both did a brilliant job.

What song was playing during the dressage test? It's beautiful. Yall have come so far! She looks so good! ❤

Aww her little pop over the tree 🥺

Well done you two. Nice to see suppirt from friends too

VLOGMAS: Jump Bear! You can do it!

Han and hobs need their own channel lol

Pony swap with Meg and Winnie for Vlogmass. 😊

❤

What a sweethaert Hobbsis!

Whoo eventing!

We humans muck ourselves up! Think what our poor horses put up with, and they just give us that knowing look and say.... Where food, I'm not doing this without it!! 🥕🍏🥕🍎🥕👍😂 Us girls really need to brain train! We're not men, we have multiple thoughts at once! I've spent years getting systems etc in place to stop the chaos! Love all your vlogs! Will love anything!

I find the time allowance interesting. You were definitely moving, but not a fast gallop, and yet you were 40 secs fast? Did other riders trot round to be on time? That last fence.....uurgh! Stop looking at the watch. Still, for a first season you both did great. Here's to a healthy winter and a successful 2025 season.
