I love that you put these sorts of videos up, but what I love more is that you are smiling throughout the whole video, even when things don't go to plan!! 😄
Thank you for showing the not-so-great bits! It's comforting to be reminded that even though we tend to leave those moments out, it doesn't mean they don't still happen.
I love, love, love that you'll slow down and stop in the middle of courses to gather yourself and your horse. It's so refreshing to see someone who genuinely loves their horse and their sport
I really really like these kind of videos bc they help me so much with understanding and seeing the mistakes. Sometimes I make the same mistakes and it really helps to see them on someone different and to listen to what you have to say about them. So thank you very much!! I love all your videos, I always learn loads while watching them :)
This is why I not only respect you, but love learning from you. Watching your videos and how you understand each and every horse you ride has given me better insight on how I should be doing the same with my horses. When I go to a show, sometimes I get overwhelmed when something goes wrong and it's hard for me to think. After watching this video, I think I've finally realized that things are not always going to go the way I want them to and that it's okay to take my time, collect myself, and try and finish on a positive note rather focusing on the negatives. Thank you for always inspiring me and sharing your passion for the world to see. I wish they would do a tv series on you hahaha!
Love that round where you place with Urano; he is so obviously challenging in that round and you stay so calm. Also love that you took so much time after Gabbana ploughed through that jump; it can be so tempting in a comp to just carry on but you never forget to put your horses first .
I love how honest you are! If you have any tips for keeping calm when things go wrong I'd love to hear them 😂 I tend to get quite tense and it only makes the situation worse 🤔
Absolutely love this video! Love the realness of it, its not all glitter and glam. You can see that you and Gabana are figuring it out together. Your comment, "I don't need any advice or comments on how to ride her, i have a trainer for that." I am so using that line for the know-it-alls at my Livery Yards. Thanks for this video.... Also, any advice on how to stop a horse from rushing to the fence?
Thanks for doing this! It’s great getting a full view and the voiceover from a show, because they definitely don’t always go as planned. You and your horses look amazing no matter what though and it is so much fun to watch!
This is brilliant!! Such a wonderful video to show a real rider. It's very fun to see the differences in all 3 horses in the same class! I can say that Gabbana is massive strided compared to the other two and having ridden a horse like that, then riding short strided, it takes a TON of time to get used to! You did great and I've been there with gross sweaty reins :D Many years ago (meaning when you were born), they had gloves that were called "Aqua Tack" They were sticky gloves for event riders and great for water fences or sweaty horses----but the downside? They stuck to themselves and the stick wore out fast because the horse hair would adhere to them. But, they were great to have :D
It’s so nice to see and older horse like Urano so excited and enjoying his job! He looks so well looked after and happy!! You and your horses are amazing ♥️
Love love love it! People don’t see the hard work and struggles. So happy that you share this. I wanna get back into the saddle, but have such high expectations to keep going where I finished. It definitely takes the pressure off, knowing that everyone has their moments. You are great 🙂
Thank you SO MUCH for posting all the videos you do. I've been following you for YEARS (and loved watching the videos of you and Boo who reminds me so much of my TB mare). Keep up the hard work! You're an inspiration to so many of us and we appreciate you being so real :)
Just wanted to say thank you for showing the not so pretty sides of this sport! It can be very disheartening when everyone is posting such positive things and nothing seems to be going right for yourself, its nice to see we aren’t all perfect and have bad days
Can you please film a video on how you taught boo her tricks bec they’re amazing and i wanna teach my horse similar tricks. Alsoo You’re such an inspiration and amazing and wow :)
I love this so much! So nice to see this side of things because like you say social media is so critical! At the end of the day we learn from our mistakes and they make us better riders so we should totally embrace them rather than let them bring us down! xx
I really appreciate this video. I fell off in my lesson on Tuesday because my horse decided to be a little bratty. And then after I got back on she bolted because someone was in the judge booth by our ring.
It was so interesting to see how these horses have such different styles and how you handle them differently. I always thought I was weird because it took me time to "jive" with different horses but it feels wrong to force a horse against it's will .... good relationships just take time. They are all so lovely :)
Do you have any tips on how to keep a more secure leg? Your leg is so amazing and I struggle sometimes with pinching at my knees and becoming unstable after jumps.
you are an amazing rider, super powerful lots of stamina, I'm worn out watching you ( mainly cuz I'm a fat out of shape slob) I always wanted to do what you are doing on a very small level, looks so fun, but a bit scary too those jumps are really high
Well done for putting up the not so great bits , always comforting to see , as SM shows everyone's fab bits , although, I'd like to see your horses giving a little more to your hand pressure , seems to look like your arms are being pulled out of socket a lot , maybe speak to your trainer about developing a more soft and together course experience all round , I understand your horses are young and excited , but working on transitions within transitions will help the horses wait for your direction more making a soft and more relaxed partnership overall , my flatwork was always worked on for 15 to 20 mins before I even start jumping , so much nicer and enjoyable to jump a horse that you have better connection with xx
Hey I love your channel and your riding is amazing ❤️ I’m loaning one of her old friends horses rain back in Northern Ireland her name is Jamie if you remember her 💖
All the courses look pretty damn good. A perfect round is almost non-existent, at least for me bc I was always trying to improve. Naiger is my fav bc I'm a sucker for the Trojan horse mane. All of them looked great, nice and spiffy!
Is Naigers less than perfect technique behind due to conformation, or is it just his style? And can you teach a horse with poor form in the rear to have better technique?
Bounces can help with form. And a lot of exercises to keep the hind end engaged. Raised trot poles and such. At least, I and some others have had success with that
Seriously girl! I'll have a great week at the barn then bam! Monday of the following week is always a bomb 🤣 at least we keep on trying as equestrian peoples 💙❤💚💛🧡
Gabbana truly is something special! Pretty young but keeps her head...unlike my horse (14 yo, chestnut tb gelding...he goes red horse crazy sometimes!)
You are a really good rider, but i mean, why do you ask the horse to take off so early? it can easy take one more step, if you had taked off where you wanted, you may have did the same stunt at the next tripple :D good job tho.
c'est affolant de monter à ce niveau en s'agitant sur son cheval, et pire, en se jetant sur l'encolure avec en plus la mauvaise foulée !!! et vous etes fiere de montrer ca ???
stfu, you clearly have no idea about what you are saying. go get a lesson and ride a horse first instead of criticizing her. don't pretend like you never make any mistakes.
