LEARNING TO DRIVE HORSES at LONDON HORSE SHOW 

Thank you for all your kind words and support over the last couple of weeks guys, it really is appreciated. And I’m sorry the vlogmas videos paused so suddenly it’s been a very sad time in our household but I couldn’t not share this incredible opportunity with you all especially as Horse & Country TV kindly gave me the whole masterclass footage 🧡xx

So very sorry to Rob and yourself for the very sad loss of Winston 😢 we all know how much he meant to you both 🙏🏻 Can I just say, "Well done, Tina, for seeing your commitments through at London. Bless you for doing that. That just shows the dedication you have to your work and the people who had organised it all bless you 🙏🏻 Winston would be so proud of that and probably would have told you to carry on anyway 😢 I'm thinking of you all at this very sad time x

Well done Tina for carrying on with your commitments after receiving such sad news. That was very strong. Condolences to you and Rob ❤

I am so very sorry to hear about Winston 💔 - I feel like he would’ve wanted you to be there though, having fun and making memories of a lifetime. Sending you and Rob a massive hug through the screen 🤗. Lots of love to you all xxxxxxx

I started carriage driving in my teens and it is the most fun and most scary thing I've ever done. It's a really accessible and underrated sport

I always enjoyed seeing glimpses of the wonderful Winston in your vlogs. He seemed like such a kind, lovely gentleman. I’m so sorry for your and Rob’s loss and hope Winston is at peace now. I have no doubt he’s left a huge hole in your hearts and lives, but watching him on screen, I have no doubt he knew how much he was loved and valued by his family. I can’t imagine how difficult it must have been for you to keep going after hearing the awful news of his passing, Tina. You did an incredible job with the driving and the live with Cameron. Thank you (and your sweet mum) for sharing some behind the scenes footage and the masterclass.

Sending best wishes at a very difficult time Tina. ❤. You should break Dinks to Harness. He'd be fabulous. Im hoping to do the same with my shetland. It's such fun 😊

Aww bless him I loved Winston he was lovely he's resting in peace now thankyou for sharing sending hugs yo Rob and yourself ❤

Tina I’m so sorry 😢 So emotional watching this I’m holding back tears along with you. I like to think Winston will always be with you, also sending big hugs to you all xx

Really enjoyed watching the carriage driving, what a great sport! And you did so well Tina👏 I was so sorry to hear about Winston, i feel with you and rob and wish you a lot of strength and peace! Take all the time off you need and enjoy your precious time with your family and animals💗

Really enjoyed listening to the live zone interview, you three make a really good chat show combination! Thanks for posting 💕

Kudos for you trying carriage driving. You were brilliant. Sending deepest sympathies over the loss of Winston.

So sorry to hear that. Big hugs to you all.

Sending you and Rob all my thoughts, love and hugs. He will never be forgot with your old school followers. Take as much time out that you need. Grief is a process that needs to be worked through.

oh Tina, so sorry to hear of Winston's passing. He would be so proud of you continuing with your commitments. He always appeared so supportive when he appeared on the Vlogs. Thank you so much for sharing - as you said, such a great opportunity to try something new. Really enjoyed the Q and A session - inhave had a few setbacks with my horse (owned for 18 months but had experienced lots of trauma in his passed both on the ground and under saddle so not consitently riding yet) lots of the discussion resonated deeply with me in terms of lacking self belief etc, looking forward to bouncing back in 2024. I can't wait to continue following your journey. Sending mynlove and strength to you and the family ❤❤

So sorry for your loss. It's difficult to lose a loved one, especially at certain times of the year.

So sorry to hear of your loss. I think you definitely did the right thing in continuing with the London Horse show commitment. Your father in law would want you to participate and enjoy these beautiful animals. ❤ I never had the opportunity to try driving but it was a sport I was really interested in. Those are some beautiful horses.

Hi Tina just back from our holidays I’m so sad to hear about Winston our thoughts and prayers are with you and Rob. I have a lot of catching up to do.🤗🤗🤗

You were amazing. Winston would have been so proud. Wishing you all the best for 2024 and all the adventures that lie ahead.

Hi. Deepest Sympathies to Robbie and you on the passing of Robbie's dad. I lost my adored Mum early in November. Still trying accept/understand the feelings. Hurts HUGHLY. 😭😭🙏🙏

So sorry for yours and Robs loss - happy new year and here’s to many successes in 2024 ❤

So very sad to hear about winston he was a lovely man and I remember fondly seeing him occasionally on your blogs, such a wonderful kind man who will be sadly missed, my thoughts and prayers are with you and rob during this sad time, take care of each other and sending you lots of love and hugs. Xx

Wonderful presentation. Excellent driving.

Im so very very sorry for your loss of Winston, Tina. Life works in mysterious ways and Winston would be looking down on you and be so very proud of you, Try and hang on to that thought/memory Tina. You are so so much in my thoughts. Love and hugs Clare and George xxx

My sincere condolences to you and Rob; just remember that Winston's a part of your story, your life, and he lives on through that! I never really thought much about carriage driving until now and it looked very daunting - thank you for sharing all of this with us. Much Love and Light from South Africa xx

I’m so sorry to hear about Winston 💔 He’s been reunited with his dog Blue now and will be watching over you two!

So very sorry for your loss The vlog was enjoyable as usual All the best for next year xx

Cameron is lovely ❤ my sincere apologies for robs dads passing x

Big Highland Pony and Standardbred hugs from Australia. So glad that you had your mother and Cameron with you. Watching the harness driving discussion. My Standardbred Beau was bred for harness racing but was a complete failure at it. He not only didn't race, he didn't even do trials. So he's not an ex-racehorse. He's just a big, enthusiastic hunter type who happens to be a Standardbred.

Keeping your family in my thoughts, I figured something was up but you pick yourself up well, you have a great family with you and it's important for us as viewers to respect that. That said, I loved this video! I've always had a curiosity for driving but we have little to no driving culture where I am, I'd love to learn one day!

So sorry for yours and your family's loss Tina! Thank you for putting out a video when you have so many more important things going on.

So sorry for your loss 😢 you where so professional and brave and amazing as always wish you a happier new year ❤

I have just started driving, enjoyed watching your video

Tina it is wonderful to see you getting behind the reins of a carriage and who better to show you the ropes than Alex and Dan. Thank you for promoting our sport of Carriage Driving so beautifully - you’re a natural! 😊❤ Very sorry to hear about your Husbands Dad also and kudos to you for getting on with your day under such difficult circumstances ❤️

So very sorry for the passing of Winston. ❤

I'm so sorry to hear about Winston, my thoughts are with you, Rob and your family at this sad time. On another note, very well done with the carriage driving. x

Awe honey im so sorry for you and Robs loss he's now an angel watching over you all on a lighter note what a wonderful vlog thank yoh

So sorry for your loss Tina x Absolutely loved the driving vlog❤

My sincerest condolences Tina… keeping you’ll close in prayers. Winston was a proper gentleman… what a blessing to have him in your life. Never any words to make it easier. Just sending love and prayers. Gee… Haw… Whoa… back…. Any turn signals on this model? Would have loved to seen you try and harness horse yourself 😂 my first harness lesson was at age 6-7 on a 17h Belgian draft horses…Couldn’t even lift yokes let along sling up on horses😃 the teams names were Briggs (left) and Stratton (right). Can’t wait to see Dinks pulling a little cart 🧡

So glad that you went ahead and kept to the plan for this vlog. Really loved watching and learning about the driving. So sorry for your loss and sending lots of love to you and your family. It’s never easy no matter how things happen. I hope you have had good family Christmas to be together and support each other xx

My heart goes out to you and Rob.

I am so sorry Tina, praying for peace for you and your family, I know what an important part of your life Winston was and he was such a cool guy. He knows you were there in spirit, don’t feel guilty about not being there, he would understand ❤️🙏. The fact that you did this was true dedication and as usual amazed with you! I do combined driving with my pony so this was especially fun to watch, especially as I come from Eventing and always try to use my legs😂😂

SOO sorry to here , HUGE HUGS,that was a brillent vlog really enjoyed it THANKYOU!!!

So so sorry for your loss,thinking of you and sending love. Your vlog was amazing and for you to do it and do such a lovely job with everything you were hoing through on that day just shows how dedicated you are when it comes to horses.stay strong ❤

Much love to you, it's such a difficult thing to go through and we can never really predict what path our grief will take. I loved the driving demo, it looked like an amazing experience and I'm super impressed with you taking on the challenge when feeling emotionally fragile! I definitely want to give driving a go now, so job done!

My thoughts are with you at this time ❤

Thank you for your kind words !! Hope You and Rob can take sometime for yourselves.. Bless you and your family .. it is always sad at this time of year...

Sorry for your loss it’s never a good time, but just before Christmas must be the worse ! X

Awww Tina, thinking of you and Rob…..xx

💕 🙏 So sorry to hear of Winston's passing. Winston came across as a lovely person especially when he was helping with mucking out and all the other chores in and around your household. Hang on to all the happy memories you & Rob shared with him. 🙏 💕 The driving looked fun if a it scarey at times. I was very impressed with how well you did with the team of four. 👌😊 All the very best for 2024 - especially Badminton! 🤞 🙂 xOx

Love driving! What a fab experience ❤

So sorry to hear the loss of Winston. Best wishes to you and Rob at this difficult time 💜 lovely vlog as you said so lucky for the opportunity!

So sorry for your loss!

Oh, Tina. So so sorry to hear about Winston. Hopefully he and Blue Boy are resting in peace together. That aside, I always wondered if you'd considered driving with Dinks! Do you think now that you've done this class you'd think about trying with him? I have a friend with a mini who drives, and I got to try for a few minutes over the summer. It was really a lot of fun! It's amazing how off the voice and quick to respond they are.

We have an international combined driving event near us that also does a huge SJ track at the same time. I believe it's 2 and 3 star for the driving and 1.40 and 1.50 ish for the jumping. Always fascinating to go watch. Also when I was a kid we had combined ridden and driven dressage. All of the horses at my barn hated the driving except mine. She had a million and one other issues but she didn't give a fudge about a cart

So very sorry to hear about Winston he will be missed by all.. I used to work for Minta winn who was there with you on this fabulous vlog!! Would love for you to do more driving vlogs maybe dinks could have a job in the future??? Absolutely loved watching you it's very different from riding but just as fun!!

This is amazing ❤ such a cool place!

I love your channel so much Tina! ❤ I hope your alright Tina xx I cannot wait to watch this video! I’ve watched the first episoded of swipe up kick on! It’s so entertaining!! ❤❤❤

I'm so sorry about your father in law, Tina. I know what you mean about it being a release--that was the case for both my parents. But that doesn't mean that you don't miss the person terribly all the same. Hang in there. And this was a very informative vlog!

This will be fun to watch :D🥰

Awww that is such a nice opportunity ❤🌾🤗 So happy for you 🌾

All the best

Loved watching this! I love ur channel so much I made an edit of u and watch ur videos in bed every night!

Very sad to hear about Winston, id like to think him and blue are having a big cuddle whilst watching your videos

Brilliant interview, Tina! And the driving looked fun. Is there going to be a tiny pony cart in your future?

So sorry for your lose.

🧡💛🧡💛🧡💛💜💙

I am so sorry.
