Riding my Grand Prix horse in a halter... Bitless | OT Vlog 

I had a laugh when you told the horse "dont do that, it's a listed building!"

Thank you for being an example of self-acceptance and reminding your peeps that done is better than perfect.

It was so so lovely seeing you doing the ground work and getting relaxation and responsiveness, to see how you achieve this was awesome. It has helped me understand the importance of getting that relaxation before moving on to the next task and the need to do this more in my ground work. Thank you.

Olivia, the ground work you are doing is amazing. You are so passionate about improving mindset, it is amazing to see you doing mindset work with your horses too 💛🙏 they are lucky to have you! I have watched your vlog for years and have really enjoyed following your journey. Just wanted to add - don't worry if you can't do as many vlogs these days. I love your content, but it really makes me happy to see you prioritizing balance within your life. Thank you for all you do 💛

Haha my German Shepherd steals my brushes too. She only takes them a few metres away and drops them. It's the principle of the thing, she says.

I love watching ground work and want to be good at it I'm not fussed about riding its far too complicated but the ability to control such a beautiful animal with just a bit of rope and a whip is what I'm all about.

Loved the pivot training part! Would be great to see more like this 🐎 love your vlogs so much!

I absolutely love the ground work you do with yours horses, it is soooo good for them, I just wish I was better at it ahaha. Also love the amount of variety you give your horses in their training. You are doing such an amazing job ✨

Very cool to see you riding bitless. I really hope that this is the future for horses :) You're a fab rider x

FAB love the ground work thank you 😊

I loved all of it even the ground work, your horses are beautiful and I appreciate you sharing your day! Thanks. 👍👍❤️🤍💙🇺🇸

Thats a wonderful place.

Do I spot another TRT fan? 😉 So nice to see a top level rider encouraging and advocating for the ground work 🥰

Thank you for sharing. I hope you keep sharing even though you're bound to get some negative comments. Some people don't like alternative methods but I think the TRT is fascinating. I also watch alot of Warwick Schiller and it has helped me enormously with my young horse and also my shut down older one. Keep pushing on and learning and taking us with you❤❤

I started this method of groundwork last year with Miri Hackett. I’ve seen such a positive change in my horses, especially my nervous mare.

Loved watching you work with Sausage and hearing you talk through what your thinking! Glad to see you back at the vlogs!

Really interesting .you are so good with horses .i cannot wait to get back riding again .x

GROUND WORK IS TRULY THE FOUNDATION OF HORSE TRAINING YOU CAN NEVER DO TOO MUCH GROUND WORK. SOUND IS OUR HORSES FIRST WARNING AND ALERTS THEM OF DANGER, THEN SIGHT. BY USING YOUR VOICE WITH DIFFERENT TONES AND SOUNDS, ITS SOOTHS AND DIRECTS THEIR MINDS TO US THE RIDER😁. WHEN WE ASK AND OUR HORSES TO PUT HEAD DOWN TO RELAX THAT MIND, THEY FEEL SUCH RELEASE (ALSO WHEN A HORSE'S HEAD IS FLEXED AT THE POLE AND FLEXING SIDE TO THE SIDE HIS BRAIN IS RELEASING ENDORPHINS) WHO DOESN'T LIKE ENDORPHIN😉. WE HAVE THEIR TRUST AND THEY WILL GLADLY LOOK FOR IT MORE AND MORE. THAT IS THE HIGH WE GET OUT OF TRAINING HORSES WHEN WE ASK AND THEY GIVE SO WILLINGLY. I am a 71 year old American women , have been lucky to keep learning about horse for the past, very close to 60 years now, feeding, pitching shite (as you BRITS say that word🤣) doing all for the HORSE. YOU ARE ARE VERY TALENTED HORSE WOMEN/HORSETRAINER AND ANYONE WOULD BE LUCKY TO BE AROUND YOU TO LEARN ABOUT THE HORSE. FANTASTIC RIDING YOUR HORSE WITH OUT A BIT. LOVE LOVE LOVE WATCHING BRIDLELESS HORSES LICKING AND CHEWING AS THEIR MOVING UNDER THEIR RIDERS CUES. LOVE YOUR CUTE CURLIE PUPS TOO! Take care Susan

TRT helped me so much with my big pushy and rude horse - he is a different horse altogether from practising this xxx you may not be an expert but you have definitely got it sussed

Love you and your videos!!

Try the natlanta bridle, it's bitless :) Personally not into podcasts but I love the vlogs :)

Very Wilfy is fine by me. Wilf and my horse have similar builds and heights. Do what you can. Can happily wait. Excitement can feel like nervousness. So just tell yourself that you are not nervous, you are excited.

Love

Early luv uu soo much!!!!!

Riding a Grand Prix horse in a halter "click-bait?" Absolutely!!!!

First luv you xx

Having lots of ideas and getting too busy is a problem for me too.

34:51 Those heating pads, is it for kidneys or for loins ??? I saw you put them all the time.....

Hi Olivia love the vids I am struggling atop with my inner chatter and anxiety if you see this can you give me a tip to help me out ?

Would you recommend the pivo?

Love you and your videos!!
