SPOOKED BY A FOX! Day 174 (06/23/19) 

"You know you've raised good kids when they wait for you"😂😂😂No, you know you have a good MOM when she walks the trails on foot so you can enjoy riding your horse.💙

I really think Sophie should be the one to lunge Finn. Lunging him and letting him join up with Sophie will help build the bond and trust.

I would like to say, Stella is not calmer because of the chain. BUT she knows the punishment is greater if she doesn’t stand quietly. A chain isn’t a miraculous thing that can make a horse calm. I’m 100 percent for using them when needed, but just wanted to let you know why she is quieter with a chain. It’s like a bit. I see people say their horse “likes” a harsher bit. That’s not true in the least. The horse may behave with a harsher bit, but only because they know that the punishment for not doing so is greater than with a snaffle :) but there’s no reason for you not to put a chain on her if it keeps everyone safe

“ This chocolate muffin... I’m gonna hide, for myself” 😂

Omg I love gabbys style sooo much, they look so good on her!!! 🥳🥰😘

Btw. The color of the hay isn’t connected with how old it is but with the process of cutting and drying it- if it rains when it is drying it will kind of wash the color out and then the hay is more yellow than green but all the nutrients stay in it☺️

laura. try not to worry about finn. horses are herd animals, they work things out themselves

First!!!! You guys inspired me to start rising 3 years ago. You held me up when I came home from falling horribly... I couldn’t love your channel anymore 😊❤️❤️❤️😭❤️❤️❤️😇❤️❤️❤️🥰

I can’t wait for the day when I see Laura on Stella and Sophie on Finn and gabby on storm all together :)

Amazing to see how far Stella has come since coming home ❤️ You guys are doing such an awesome job with the horses 👍

Watching you guys on the trail sure brings back all the happy memories of me and my horse Lance on the trails. Trail riding for me was so freeing, just me and my horse in the woods taking our time and enjoying the beauty and the stillness.

Sophie seems very confident on Stella with the western saddle, maybe you could consider a western saddle for Fynn. Circle Y usually fit really well on a lot of horses.

That looked like an amazing trail! I don’t own a horse, but we know some people who run a trail in the summer and it’s absolutely amazing! I have yet to canter on a trail, but i always love to trot! I hope someday I will be able to go on an amazing trail like that with my mom and my own horse!❤️🏇🏿🐎

Wow nice job girls I'm so proud of the progress they have made over the years ❤️😄😍 you guys have mad me smile through the worst moments 😄

Laura: Storm spooked and nothing happened! Also Laura: gabby is so good 😊 Also also Laura: she did NOT get that from me I’m dying lol 😂

I’m so proud of Gabby and Sophie they’re doing so well.

Laughed so hard when when laura was going through munch pak and said I’ll save this chocolate muffin for myself cracked me up😂😂😂😂

Remind the girls to lean forwards when coming to low trees, not backwards as that is dangerous - they could be injured by the branches or even be swept off backwards.

Fox’s are really cute in real life! 🦊

Always spooking at random animals ! ;) It’s okay my cow horse spooked at a deer 🦌!

What a beautiful trail! That looks like so much fun! I’m sure the horses enjoyed it! 💕💕

When you guys say something positive it makes my day. It makes me feel like i can follow my dreams and I can make my dreams happen. You guys make me so positive and you guys teach me to believe in myself. Thank you so much for that!

I have always wanted to go onto a trail with one of my horses! I have really only been on a trail with trail horses in a different state because Nevada doesn't really have any good trails that are nearby... Wonderful video!

We used to test hay by dropping the bail & if a huge cloud puffs up it could be filled with dust/mold

Who else thinks Laura should be a motivational speaker leave a like

Trail tips: If you find yourself lost, let Stella lead and let her choose. She will take you back to the trailer. Guaranteed (I say Stella. Exhausted she’s experienced. You can tell.) Also, The “AllTrails” app works great to check location on trails and maps where you have been and going.” @daybydayogs. “TrailForks” is also good. That one says it’s for “biking trails” but I’ve only used it for hacking.

for the people who are saying “sophie is not experienced enough to have a horse” i’m sure they got sophie a horse so she feels included and if her sister is there to help her on they way and give her tips which is awesome, i’m sure she’ll be a great rider!!!❤️🐎 and i’m here to support you guys i can tell gabby has improved a lot!!! go gabby!!!!❤️

That was really cool i like that trail , well done for handling it so well Gabby! You guys have grown so much and are such good equestrians ❤️ Will you start posting on fixed scheduled times soon so that all of us can set a reminder and not miss any of your amazing videos?

I can’t believe how well the girls and the horses have gotten

When stella ran off with Sophia and she fell, I would never have hoped for her to be trail riding with her now. Good job Sophie!

Are you sure that your "hay" wasn't alfalfa? It looked like it. Even if it was hay it wasn't old it's just the process in which the hay is made.

I stay up all night for this and it finally came gn guys

If my horse saw a fox he probrobly would have killed it lol

That was so beautiful! I'm jealous! We still don't have a trailer to take our horses out yet. Definitely a goal for this year!!

Ok,so not watched it yet just clicked on and I already hope that no-one or one of your horses get hurt!! Love you daybyday vlogs xx

Honestly, I wish I could of bend there! Its my dream to ride, but we really don't have the money 😂 I had two horses when I was younger, two beautiful mares, Dotty and Diamond. Dotty was the mother of diamond, but we had to give them to friends. Basically as soon as Dotty was there she had a few days and they put her down. They were beautiful Arabians and I can only imagine that Diamond has turned into a beautiful white mare. I just hope when I get older I can have a horse. Loved the video! Beautiful content as always! Edit: can I just add: you are so lucky to have your horses willingly load into the trailer, we had to fight them when we went to shows 😂😂

Such a beautiful trail! We live in the desert so we have to drive nearly 3 hours if we want to ride in the forest. I loved seeing this. Hopefully you'll be riding next time Laura! Seems like Stella really enjoys the trails :)

Foxes are honestly so cute!

It’s amazing Stella didn’t freak out when storm left! My horse would have been running after him if he left!

If storm starts eating grass with the bit in please pull it out right away. Because if they have the bit in then they can't fully chew the grass and they can choke. There was a horse at my barn that almost died because he did exactly what storm just did. This is absolutely not hate I really just want to keep storm safe! Have a good day!! ❤️

Your videos make me so happy 😁 love watching your journey!! Loved this video, the trail looked soo nice 😍

i feel like my horse would not care but my sisters would FREAK OUT

You should bring Finn next time and just lead him down the trail to build his confidence, I’m sure he will do great with the other two being calm too :)

Woohooo! I just got back from a 2hour hack, it's super hot here in the UK and it was great fun. We have some great spots for gallops so we got to gallop 4 times! We loved it. X

actually it’s perfectly fine for a horse to eat with a bit it. if the nose band is loose enough, and the bit is mild, it shouldn’t matter. it only matters when the horses bit is to strong.

Hi Laura, what a Great Idea - the trials we’re amazing and the girls rocked it. Stella, was loving today you can tell she has a lot of experience on the trails. Storm loved it too. Anyway, GreatJob walking the trail - I bet you lost a few pounds for sure. Enjoy the rest of your day and Thank You for sharing with us. ✌🏻And❤️ Lori

Ok so, I ride a horse that most people are scared of at my barn😂😅 No one canters her but lately my trainer had been making me canter her! Last week was my first time cantering her and I ended with a fall! And then yesterday I had to canter after my poles lesson and also ended with a pole😂😂

I LOVE THESE TRAIL RIDING VIDEOS SO MUCH! THEY MAKE ME SO EXCITED AND ITS SO ADVENTURUS AND EEEEEK! IM EXCITED TO WATCH THIS FOREVER ON REPEAT

"If she sees the fox she can step on it" - Sophie 😆. Y'all have the best RU-vid videos!

Can gabby do a all the tack my horse uses video.... like bridle and stuff thanksssss❤️❤️😀😀😀

I don’t care what Raleigh says about this family I think they are such a NICE FAMILY!! 💕❤️❤️😊😊❤️😊🌞🌞❤️😊❤️😊❤️❤️😊❤️ your girls are great riders! 👍

Another great video! Cant wait for you guys to go camping. Which horses will you be taking? Thanks for the amazing video

Beautiful trail. Can't think of a better day then the one in this video. Relaxing just to watch. Horses and girls did great! You're in much better shape than me...Walking that trail...Lol.

How to put a saddle bag on a western saddle: Take the straps and put through the horn holes at the bottom of the horn. Wrap them around the horn and attach them on. If you have any questions reply.

I love that Sofia wants to bond with Fin and just her 😂💕

Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful, from the moment the boys came to you in the field when you called ( a moment I remember saying in a previous comment would be so satisfying) 😊 I love Gabby says hack 👍Half the fun of going out on the trail like that is the exploring and that place looked great, had it all, shade, open grass parts and water, and even a few jumps,everything you need. Stella is such a good girl, a lot of horses would want to keep up with a horse cantering off in front of them, not Stella though, she took it all in her stride and doing stuff like that is perfect for her. I’m so proud of you too Laura for letting the girls go on ahead, trot and canter, choose the path and taking time to enjoy it. I’d definitely be going there a lot if lived nearby. Perhaps you can find a map to print off and plan your route for next time 😊 Another thought is if there is somewhere else that Sam could park the trailer further on the trail he could drive and meet you 👍PS hope we’ll see you out on Stella soon too Laura, joining the girls if you can sort Willow out 😊

I love trail rides i go on them every weekend. I went over a pipe like that one time, my horse would just walk over it. Just be careful for snakes. If you guys every come to Florida in my area I would love to go on a tail ride together.

Finn seems like a good horse but think he need more of a experienced rider so i think you should get a horse that Sophie seems more comfortable with and not so scared on

one tip out of love :) sophie’s western stirrups look a little long from behind. I would recommend going up a hole or two. just one of the differences between western and english. hope I can help.

Gabby and Sophie are stunningly gorgeous I wish I looked as pretty as them. Love you guys💕💕💕💕💕

I love your family videos so much and look forward to them every day I seriously don't know what I would do without you. Your family is so inspiring love you vids and family soooooooooooo much

Who's watching them during quarantine

So underrated ❤️😘 second time watching this today ⭐️ thinking of starting a horse channal 🔥

Sophie is me with my horse😂 YOUR NOT BONDING WITH HIM

You girls are so talented!!! ❤️🐴

I remember when you guys didn’t even have horses you guys have come so far!

I love this! Good video your horses are amazing!

I know It Might Be Expensive But Have You Guys Ever Thought About Getting Some CrossCountryJumps? Or Instead Of Burning All The Logs Use Them As Some Cross Country Jumps You can Put Out In A Little Enclosed Area Where You can Maybe Practise Hunting Or XC(Cross Country) Just A thought As Both Girls Seemed To Love Jumping(And Stepping) Over the Jump! Itll Be Fun FOr Stella Aswell As She Is made For Trailing She Might Be A western And Trail-Xc Girl

I understand that my one of the horses that my dad helps is a little insider

Really great job all of you! Laura, you look like you've lost so much weight. Well done. Sophie was great with Stella letting her trot and staying relaxed. Gabby, good job on fitting a little schooling in as well. Happy trails from Arkansas.

The original duo 😃😃

That doesn’t look like old hay to me, just a different type of grass that was longer than your other hay! Still some good hay 😊

I've been going through all the day-by-day Vlogs and just watching them cuz I'm so bored and quarantine

I subbed and liked so now I get to see all your vids right after u post them!!!!!!

Love u all so much your my favourite youtubers ever and no one could ever replace that and i love your horses 🐴 there so loving i wish that one day i could meet u and please tell Gabby that she so good at riding and she’s doing really good with Storm and please tell Sophie that she’s also really doing good with riding and Finn and Laura your doing great with Stella

Everyone be saying “you should bring Finn next time” and “whys Sophia riding Stella?” Like people Laura clearly said that Finn was sore. Maybe watch the video all the way through

What a beautiful place!

You guys could have tried hooking the saddle bag to the D rings on Storms saddle

Now you just need Finn trail safe so all three of you could ride ♥️♥️

amazing 💛🤭 gabby and sophia have come a long way . sophie didn’t even want to sit on stella 6 months ago now she’s in a new environment open space rocking it! and stella is hands down the best on trail rides nothing phases her💗 and stormy boy😂👌 he is such a funny little personality and i feel it showed in today’s video . ye are amazing parents . you children will cherish these memories with their ponies forever💖

The Green hay is probably 1st or second cut grass our hay guy told us the difference I forget it but it’s something to do with digestion and fat

Hi I love your video so much I Watch them every single day I seen your family grow and it is amazing and I’m so proud of Sophie and Gabby. I do not have a horse but I really want one. And Laura you inspire me so much to ride.😜😜😜😜🐴🐴🐴

I think I know why your horse like that hay soo much...it looks green so I think it's alfalfa hay. The horse I ride loves it!!! Love the Video!!!

its fresh hay we have cows and we know what hay it is

This gave me SO many flashbacks to whenever you guys first bought Stella and storm❤️

I use a chain on the horse I ride bc if you don't he was trot away lol. Sometimes I walk him without it and he's fine but rather be safe than sorry. I have never used it harshly and I don't understand why people think if you have a chain on your horses nose you abuse them with it lol. Anyways good vlog!

wont it be nice when all three horses can go and laura wont have to walk behind

If my horse saw a fox he would literally run for the hills with me on him by the way gabby sounded exactly like your trainer when she was explaining that they dont use the clip metal thing harshly love you guys i love your videos

In Michigan there is a horse camp I really think the would like it is called black river farm and ranch you should totally look into it

Have fun I don't have a horse but mabiy my dad and mom can think if we can we come to canda

What A LOONG Beautiful Trail! I Love Just Losing Myself In Nature 😉😁💓💓😇 Laura You Certainly Are Energetic ! I Would Have to Have Stopped All Along the Trail For Breaks and Nature Shots! Hahahahah Loved the Video !! Love YOU ALL! 😉😁💓💓😇

Your videos literally keep getting better and better

Hey Shopie you really look awesome on Stella and really beautiful out there I wish I was riding with yous too

Omg the halter equestrian people ride at a barn I know!

aww stormy looks great!♥️

Those horses have a wonderful home love you videos

Talking about helping people onto horses when my cousin was Sophies age I almost threw her over her horse with the linked hands under the the knee method. Didn't know my own strength haha.

Can you please do a in depth video on how the girls started riding please?

My horse spooks at trees!!😂🐴
