My First Time Jumping Big And It Went Like This.... Fall Video! 

She should work more cantering over things before she jumps that high

I think Sophie should work on eq and leg strength before she worries about jumping higher. It’s not about height it’s about technique❤️

She was not ready!! Dont rush it!! Everything at its own time. If she cant canter a jump, she shouldn’t be jumping that height. The poor horse has to make a lot of strength that’s why she was lunged over. she has to canter first omg!

Should have never pushed her, especially if she can’t canter it. Finn could make 2’6 (if that’s actually what it was) if he was cantering

I’m not hating on y’all! I’m just saying that she probably should have done the jump again after falling 🙁 I know she is a little nervous after a fall, every one is it’s OK, but at least do the jump another day. Sometimes after a fall at the jump a horse might think “oh, my rider fell off and doesn’t want to do it again.” So just be careful with stuff like that ☺️ But GREAT JOB SOFIA🥳🤩

That horse shouldn’t be jumping over a jump that size in a trot

I'm so proud of Sophie for smiling after she fell, it may not seem big, but falling off is scary

She wouldn’t of fallen if she pushed for more out of him and looked up but she looked at the jump

That’s amazing that she got over it!! And could fall off and get right back on!! So proud of her! However, not sure why she’s being encouraged to jump so high...she’s not very strong on the flat yet. At my barn, you’re supposed to be able to walk, trot, and canter without stirrups, be able to circle at all gaits without stirrups, bend correctly, and know what trot diagonal and canter lead you’re on before you can start jumping more than a cross rail.

ANYONE ELSE NOTICE HOW THEY ONLY REPLY TO THE NICE ONES AND NOT THE CONSTRUCTIVE CRITISISIM whoops soz for caps not try to be mean

Laura: “i’m imaging it, it’s going to be beautiful!” Sophie: *falls off* Laura: “laughs/crying”😂🥲 omg i’m so proud of sophie ♥️♥️♥️♥️

Haha, Laura -“ You can do it, I’m imagining it, it’s going to be beautiful... “ Sophie falls 😂😂

sophie handled that so well, her confidence is getting so much better. at least she tried! she’ll be back at 2’6 in no time. i love watching them together.

I would ride that jump in a canter instead of a trot in trot it just looks like ist too much work. I know it's a tiny jump but it's just my opinion. Good job though

This is not hate! Please have Sophie work on her lower leg and core before she jumps higher for her safety and her horses safety

Great job Sophie! I wouldn't do this anymore though untill she dares to canter the jump because the problem was Finn didn't have enough momentum to get over it properly

sometimes when you have a good jump, you just have to call it a day! Though I think it will be really beneficial for Soph to see WHY she fell. Anticipating the jump, weight thrown forward onto the front end caused the choppy takeoff distance. Finn was a saint to even jump that at all 🤣👏🏻 Glad she got back on and was fine!

It's amazing how much Sophie's improved! She was flying over the jumps - and out of her saddle 😂

Who thinks Sophie and gabby have progressed so much in their riding recently??

She wasn’t ready at the end jump

It might not be best watching the lessons all the time my mum made a table up for us that 1 lesson she would watch and the next she wouldn't or she would stay for only half of it as it increases the independence of the kids. That jump was not 2,6 it looked more like 2 or 2,3. If you go to a small competition and you think you are able to jump a certain hight and it isn't correct then you will get nervous and might not go which can lead to embarresment and you should continue working or leg strength, posture and confidence before you go to jumps or normal sized jumps. In my lessons you have to know how to walk trot and canter without stirrups and if you confidence needed and extra boost you would work on bareback walk trot and canter before you went on to nice sized jumps. I am 12 years old and teaching my 2 year old thoroughbred how to jump and I need to know all of this to teach him, he is flying over nicely sized cross poles after only 6 months of having him. I honestly do recommend you do a lot more of groundwork. Hacks are also good as they stimulate you horse and its a change off scenery, even if you go on hacks already I would try to go on a bareback hack after most lessons for a nice cool down.

It’s so great that after Sophie fell Finn stopped right in his tracks!!

EARLY I'M SO PROUD OF EVERYBODY AND THEIR SKILLS ignore the Caps especially Sophie she's overcome so many things ⭐

Just a tip for sophie's trot, try to push your hips forward more in the rise and don't land so far back in the saddle👍

At least she got back up again without tears!😁 and she jumped 2’6🎉 Great video!

My instructor has always said there’s only one way to guarantee you don’t fall off and that’s don’t get on. Love watching your progression, I have on off suffered with nerves while riding and my instructor also says it takes a braver rider to get on and ride when you are scared than a rider who has no fear!

Finn looks good in pink

She handled that SO WELL!

I wish I could jump but the horse I ride gets way to excited and I can’t stop him

Awe poor Sophie for falling off but that’s so amazing that she jumped that in the first place! The falling off is not what matters she jumped it and it was amazing! Love you guys ❤️

finn was so good to stop when he felt her fall thats true love

PROUD OF SOPHIE FOR GETTING BACK ONNNN!!!

well done to sophie for getting back up!! and storm looks so fluffy

so proud of sophie and how far she has come with finny! and gabby too especially with storm while chino was hurt!! love you guys

Sophie scares me with her courage 😂

I am so proud of Sophie and Fin and that Sophie got right back up

I can’t wait to see the video: Sophie jumped 3ft !

Her confidence has gotten so much better. He just had to take a weird jump because of the height and him going to it at a trot, once the jumps start getting bigger she will have to start cantering them to make them easier. He's such a good boy to still put in the effort to jump it though, our Morgan mare will jump anything you point her to if she trusts you enough but at that height she would just refuse or do a drive by if I approach at a trot because she knows the jump would be hard for both of us at a trot. It's amazing that she actually did the jump but she should really try to start approaching ones at that height at a canter, it makes the jump so much smoother and when she is on Finn he seems to be under control. Maybe have her start approaching the 2'0 and 2'3 jumps at a canter so she can build up her confidence with cantering verticals and work out any issues that her an Finn may have with it then start trying the 2'6 when she is confident enough to canter it. Obviously he can trot the jumps but if she wants to continue trotting to jumps at that height just make sure she starts preparing more for weird jumps like what happened in the video, with the lack of forward momentum they need a different way to get enough force to clear the jump and sometime that requires to do a jump like that where they almost stop then try to jump over it like a deer.

I’m so proud of Sophie for getting back on, she has come so far and same with Gabby!!!

also love seeing gabby and stormy in the ring together!

So happy to see that Sophie didnt get scared or cried when she fell off she's come such a long way in such a short time. Good job sophie!

YAYYY I am so so glad that Sophie got back on instead of not getting back on and riding!! I am so proud and I am also glad that Brandon is back I kind of missed him!!

I think Sophie needs to start cantering to jumps especially that high.

I’m so proud of Sophie for getting back on!

Early! Laura: I’m imagining it! You’re gonna be beautiful! Sophie falls* 😂😂😂

Gabbys equitation is gorj!! I wantttttt

sophie just is so positive when she gets up xD

yay sophie no tears way to go sister!!! so so brave!!

hey laura For Penny you should do a T touch it might make her calm down or relieve stress it makes your guys bond even better I do it with my mare and she loves it

She literally did amazing! She's has gotten so brave it makes me proud and it should make that happy girl proud too!

lol the last time I fell off my mom was just chilling and she said and I quote “YES I GOT IT ON VIDEO!”

Sophie has improved so so much!

Sofie is really progressing in her riding!!! She handled that so well, and got right back on!! So proud of you Sofie!

*trots pony up to 2’6 jump* pony: jumps it weird bc he’s going 2 mph girl: falls off*** mom: 👁 0 👁

The horse should of been trotting faster and it is really wide to do at a trot as well

That’s was funny what Brandon said

Brandaan: that was just my soul Me:cracks up

aw sorry I haven’t been able to watch your videos the past few months, but I’m very excited to get back into them! 🥰

Love Sam’s reenactment of Sophie fall lol he do silly !!! She handled herself well

So when falling off your/the horse, let go of the reins. If you fall and are hanging on too the reins you can injure you and the horse badly.

I think that was her most graceful fall!

Yay brandons back! We missed him and his commentary :D

That was a very impressive flip. Laura’s spinet wheezing in the background has me dying

Off topic but I think Finn would benefit from most and any “Back on Track” products. They are copped infused and help horses relax their muscles. Many’s horses at my barn have the mesh sheet and use it before and after their rides to reduce inflammation and soreness along with relaxation.

I fell yesterday and hit my head and somehow still smiled so I'm proud of Sophie as well as myself😂

When Sophie did the bounces it made me smile she’s gotten so good!

Just clicked am very excited by the title!!!! Hope everyone is having a good day

Gabby and Sophie are so good at riding

Good job Sophie and Gabby!

I love watching your videos deacuse I get to watch you guys progress every lesson and Sophie great work getting back on that is one of the hardest things to do as a rider.

I’m early!! Sophie and Finn will do amazing this year! 🥰🥰🎉🥳

Good job sophie and fin sorry if I spelt sophie its very cool that what u do now than when u started u are doing very well just keep♡

so proud of Sophie! to make it easier to count the height of the jump without a tape measure, the holes on the standards are every 3 inches. so if its a 5' standard you count down so 4'9, 4'6, 4'3 and so on. so if you count the hole on the standard in the video its actually 2'3 but either way its super good!

You guys are amazing!! I love your horses so so much!! You take such good care of them!! You are such a good team that's what I love about you guys!! Thank you for sharing videos about your life. Happy late Valentines Day!! I hope everyone had an amazing time!! Love you guys + the horses!!

Well done for trying Sophie keep going and pushing yourself:)

It’s harder for the horses to trot it rather than canter so that’s why Finn hesitated.

Lol you don’t negotiate in my lessons you don’t listen your out!! 😂

go sophie!!! thats super that she was smiling after falling and patting finn, i only say this for no hate but maybe with that hight a canter? i dont know finn so cant judge but giving advice also fin was so good to stop for sophie after falling X

Jesse I remember when Sophie was scared to ride Finn now look she has really figured him out and can ride him butifully it’s ok to fall especially when it’s your first time

sophie has made such a improvement I remember last time she fell in a video I said she needed to learn not to cry if you aren't really hurt. and not to blame the people around you or the horse so seeing her smile and laugh it off after her fall was nice

Sophie and finn did and amazing and even when she fell she got straight back on with a smile and that's what it's all about😊

YAAAS GO SOPHIE! 🥳🦄💕

D-A-M-N…I agree with Gabby for Sophie and Finn

I was waching an old video an this came to mind Me : there is so much snow here in England Laura : hold my sun & rain

Never hold the reins when your falling off I did that and rlly hurt my finger also what height is it

Sofie you did so well!!! I also fell off today while jumping😂 I fell onto the jump lmao our very first time I couldn’t see the stride and my horse just dead stoped😂 But I got back on and we did it great the next time! Great job for getting back Sofie, you handled it so well!!❤️❤️ Congratulations in beating your record can’t wait to see it again❤️

I’ve seen this happen a lot where the horse takes a last second blast off and then so does the rider 😂. I’m proud you took the fall so well! Never need to feel upset when you have a pony that tries so hard!

Who else has always wanted to ride Finn

Sophie is getting so good 😊 and I’m so happy and i rememberd she only could jump flat poles I’m so happy. Good job Sophie

I love how we can just hear Laura wheezing when Laura falls

She was like “I’m imagining it it’s beautiful! Sophie: plonk At least you smiled after 🥰

Sophie is such a good rider. She just lacks confidence, which is hard to over come. But i already see her progressing so well. Go sophie!

I’m so proud of Sophie to try the higher jump and to be brave tog get back up after a fall. When she jump the 2.3-2.4 feet jump you can se that she has really improving. It’s harder to jump in a trot to a high jump and it’a easier to be left behind, because the horse often uses more power to jump in the trot. Sophie is really becoming a good rider, I think that she need to train her balance more and sitting in the canter. Because when she master that she will have better balance to stay on even when she gets left behind or if the horse takes a long. Doing bounce (I think it’s was the way you called it when you put up jumps close to each other.) is a really good way to train balance and rhythm over the jumps. I fell of my horse when he took a little extra canter step in front of the oxer and he just used so much power in the jump and i thought he was stopping, I flew right in the air and back on him and then down the side to land on my stomach, I was okey. Got it on film at least and it’s on my RU-vid. 😅 Sophie you are amazing just the way you are, and if you keep trying new things and things that might get you out of your comfort zones, you will see that you can do more than you think even if it sometimes gets hard, it’s just the way it goes and at some point the harder things will get easier if you keep trying. ❤️

She's really improving every time. And Finn was luckely not running away from her when she fell. 😉

OMGG I laughed so hard when Laura was laughing/Crying 😂

I’m literally freaking out and I can’t seem to make it sound like that in my comment. SOPHIE LOOKS AMZING!! #2021showseasonheretheycome

Gabby had improved so much and well done Sophie

I love how Sophie fell off smiling and Got back on! Good job Sophie! 💕

When I heard the beautiful just the way you are song at 6:13 I was worried that the video was already over!!!!!
