MY HORSE TAKES OFF! | DAD BECOMES A DRESSAGE JUDGE?? || VLOG 104 

can we also appreciate the fact that Scott does some pretty cool camera shots from down in the grass to him just standing still then you walking out of frame and the magic leg up spin ;), minor things but still makes it a good vlog and loos so cool!

Great job!! And the husband of the year award to Scot for running in that heat! 😂

You are totally inspiring love the blogs and the family dynamic fantastic

He’s an absolute super star. Well done guys. Love this horse so much xx

Wow for horse and rider!! Exciting to go along.

I think that was your best xc on him yet. So forward and bold.

What a great event. You and Kato look so good. He is gradually getting better and better at the showjumping. Congratulations on 11th place ❤❤❤

Well done Ashley Kato is a star what a lovey horse he is. You both did really well. Great to see your mum she looks fab. Tfs.😎🏇😎

Wonderful event blog as always. Lovely to see your Mum looking well It seems like fate you didn't sell Kato. After Zeb he is my favourite ❤ With Zeb getting older you need a horse to ride you can absolutely rely on and depend on x country, keeping up your confidence and riding skills while you develop your two young horses, which are not quite at that stage yet.

i love coming along for rides with you and your horses ashley! your vlogs are a whole other level of fun and thrills!! kato is such a sweetheart also, i love him!! 🥰💖💖

Love your positivity and focus on Kato and everything he did well. Great job and result and as ever fabulous team effort. So enjoy seeing you out eventing (on the vlog as I live abroad).

Kato is a super horse. You look so much more confident in the show jumping.

I wish i had a family like yours❤

When I watched your xcountry round I thought you rode so well, you were riding faster and into the fences you rode on some good forward strides so much more confident! Kato really tried hard and sometimes it is difficult for bigger horses to jump especially when they chip in but he really tries. He looks after you and loves his job, you did so well Ash! :)

Grand job all of you! As to the dog's trim back as a horse-mad kid in the 1960s-70s I saw something very like that called a trace clip, was used for harness horses.

Kato and you Ashley did very well!! Sure makes makes it fun to see your family all support you!!🐕💞

Ashley top riding on a top (my fave) horse, Kato. You are absolutely right, you are getting better and better each time you both come out. The video footage, narration is top marks also, best horse channel on YT by a country mile, loved every single second of this event vlog and look forward so much to seeing you all so much, I learn, I swoon and even laugh, be proud of yourself Ashley, be proud.

Way to go!!! You guys looked great and you two are such a great pair! Beautiful confident ride!!

Kato had a good kip, a massage and did you proud, both of you looked on top form, camera work top notch too. That was Super Duper, well done 🐎💞

Fabulous guys , please keep Kato you 2 have a great future together & his steady improvement is a pleasure to watch

Wonderful job, Kato superhorse and Ashley. He makes x country look way easier than it is.

Great riding as usual and Kato is a superstar! Love how this is a family affair and you all muck in, except Harry, who does the dog daubing (v important though), but he made me die with that bum thrust 😂 x

That Properly made me smile! Well done, the big guy is so honest cross country and made mincemeat of that huge palisade ditch! An inspiring watch as always, congrats on the 11th place🎉🎉🎉🎉

He’s really settling into his job this year. Except for those silly dressage flowers, he didn’t look at anything. Even the two stadium jumping poles that you had down were close calls and could’ve gone the other way. He’s really becoming a professional. So much fun to watch the two of you. I agree with what another commenter said. He’s going to be your reliable cross-country machine very soon. If not already!

Brilliant result. Zeb looked amazing. The commentors words were spot on. All credit to you!

Well done Ash. A great round. 👍

Wow! Way to ride your show jumping!

You did great! The ditch brush looked like the stuff of nightmares... (I was a tween first time I saw a photo of the Burghley one... something-leap. I had nightmares off and on for a couple of weeks about it).

He did better this time! He really seemed to be listening during SJ and I agree he seemed very strong thru XC too bad about the flowers but those hops were awfully cute 😄❤️❤️

Well done ash🎉🎉🎉

Ashley, you're such an effective rider. Super leg position and great seat. So balanced. Great job!

Well done kato you made it look easy great horse what a great partnership loads of love Ali ❤

Amazing support team. This horse is a big unit.

Ah I love your eventing vlogs, always great to watch with all of you getting involved! You guys did fantastic well done, you make it look easy!!👏👏

Great job! I love the event vlogs so much!! 😍😍😍

So well done and he killed the Cross Country!!! Love watching you and Kato.... totally different ride then Zeb❤

Omg 7A 🥰 I didn’t know they were still using that 💜

Ashley your vlogs are going from strength to strength. Great to see your Mum & Dad, Scott in support.Kato doing nicely too.

Amazing job, both of you!! I was on the edge of my seat for the cross country and you guys just smashed it!! Congrats!!

Brilliant as always ❤

You rode the hell out of that xc course, didn't look easy at all!!!

You both look fantastic! I forget how long his stride is. Mum is looking so good! Thoughts and healing vibes from across the pond 💕🇺🇸💕

Fantastic job to both of you!! Thank you!!!

Fabulous results 👌 🎉❤

Great teamwork! Congratulations

Smashed it🔥🔥👏👏

Should definitely be a dressage judge at 5* haha ❤❤

YES that was brill wasnt it, well done him,and you rode cool too.

great job Ashley!! I thought the whole day was great! It's been lovely and hot here too (Calgary Canada) this summer which I love, but I'm not competing lol!

Well done, you two make the huge cross country jumps look easy! Just one thing I’ve noticed in many of your show jumping rounds, you pull back on your reins on take off and only then move your hands slightly forward. I don’t know if this is an eventing thing; I’ve been doing straight show jumping for almost 30 years now (showing my age), and I never see regular SJ riders do this. We move our hands forward up the horse’s neck on takeoff (and over the jump) to give them maximum use of their head and neck. I’m just wondering if this is maybe part of the reason you have poles in SJ? Rewatch some of your show jumping rounds in slow motion/take screen shots, and you’ll see that your elbows are actually behind your body as your horse takes off. Just wondering if that might be making it harder on your horses to produce a nice bascule to clear the jumps. Like I said, I don’t have a clue how to ride cross country fences properly, but this is just an observation from a long time show jumper. Perhaps giving your horses a more generous release over the SJ jumps might avoid some of the rails you have. Mostly avoiding the pulling back on the reins on takeoff. Just a thought to maybe help you avoid pulling rails. You are a great rider, and are definitely way bolder than I am; you couldn’t pay me enough to jump those huge solid fences. Love your horses too. Definitely superstars! Cheers from the US.

You look like you had a great day, fab Vlog.

Well done Ashley 😊

Well done xx

“Did you see him in the warm up” Yes, she was riding him😂😂 No hate haha, I loved the blog. Well done

Sam has a mullet ❤🎉

You and Kato are beautiful together.

Fabulous 💜🐎💜

Boom 58 second since the upload 😊

Great xc round. He just needs to get a bit more careful with his feet most of the time in his show jumping. Cracks me up when you keep saying how hot it is. Our temperature today is 28°.......... in winter! To us 30° is a normal average day.

what breeches have you got on there they look so nice! also your such an amazing rider

Just wondering, you guys aren’t selling kato anymore right?

Kato is a decent bloke 😂

First❤

I haven't been around for a bit, I thought Kato was up for sale? Why hasn't he sold yet?

Didn’t he enjoy that!

Did you decide not to sell him in the end? I thought youd have to keep him for Harry 😉

Is Kato still for sale or have you decided to keep him?

I thought they sold Kato

My vlog is wold best

Are you still selling kato ?

Where is zebedee

P R O M O S M

??? I think this is one of your poorest rides.... your looking down and have him on his forehand in the dressage and he looked rushed and short and choppy. The show jumping, you looked like you were really chasing him and rushing all your fences... it isnt timed, his take off spots where all over the place and he was flat on some fences.
