Trouble On The Trail Ride! Day 302 (11/02/20) 

In Storm’s defense, Sophie still needs to steer when she is on a lead line 🤣

I love how Sofia got the confidence to ride on her own a bit

oh no that must have been really scary for Sophie when storm kicked Finn (he was like, dude, personal space please! lol) but Sophie did great, she stuck it, and crisis averted! Last year that would have been a much bigger deal, you can really see how much she has grown as a rider.

It’s soooo good to see them finally out hacking and not just jumping all the time ❤️

Storm looked just so happy out there with his girl when they were just cantering around, so did Gabby, that was so sweet 💞

The Haters Need To Research.. 90 Percent Of the Humans And Animals On The Planet Are Magnesium Deficient. Due To Chemicals In the Air, Food, Clothing Etc.. Our Bodies Get Depleted of Magnesium, I Keep Magnesium Oil In My Daily Regimine... Good Choice Laura! It Keeps Our Bodies Working In Flow Hence The Calming Effect ;) I Love Your Videos! My Mornings Are Always Better Because I Look Forward To My Favorite Coffee and My Day By Day Family!! Rock ON Angels!!!! I LOVE YOU!!😇😘💞😇😘💞😘💞

Gabby and storms bond is so special gabby is so lucky to be able to have these vids as well as Sophie and you

Love to see Molly bopping around in the grass. She really is loving life.

Giving magnesium isn't drugging them. It a mineral that every horse requires. If low they can be reactive an anxious. Your doing a great job with penny. That's sad people have to be so mean, an find fault with others. Keep up the great work laura I admire you. Nothing wrong with giving magnesium. Love your vlogs,love your outlook on life. 👍👍♥️💕

Penny’s tail is so cute. It makes me so happy to see you two getting on so well. You so deserve this, you’ve been through a lot this year. Gabby ponying Soph and Finn like that is so good for them. Such a confidence boost. Wish I had that when I was a kid.

Gabby, Gabby you are so brave and inspiring to everyone. You give people courage and hope. You and Storm make an amazing team. Gabby you and Chino will find each other I can tell he loves you. Have fun with you boys love you all.

I had a doctor's appt & didn't get read the comments. Glad I didn't. If people don't know what magnesium is then schools are dumbing down our kids worse than we know. We had to learn the vitamins & minerals at an early age in school. I love how you are handling Penny & training her to trust you.

Sofia is getting soo confident I am soo proud off her💞

I can't wait for the future when you and Penny have a much stronger bond and to see how much you grow together!!!

So following on from yesterday I’ve started talking to one of the new people at my riding school and she is really nice and I think we are gonna be really good friends, she totally agrees with me on everything that my other friends didn’t agree with me on so I’m really happy that someone agrees with me and 4 people apologised to me which I am happy about, some of them still hate me but I’m just accepting that and as long as I am being nice then I know I’m doing the right thing. Although they still think smacking horses is a way of training and respect they know how I feel and what I believe so I just don’t say anything when they talk abt that Love you guys❤️

so your tellin me I've been watching yall for 3 years ish wow how time fly's. the girls have grown as riders and people so much.

I’m so happy you and Penny are doing so well together! Can’t wait to see what God has planned for you two ❤️

Omg you guys are the best sophie you have came so far love you guys

Laura I'm speachless on how amazing you became in the horse journey 💛 you and Penny are butifull together. And can't wait too see more great days with you and your family. This journey will take day by day but it will be worth it.💛💜

My girl was having a hard time adjusting when I bought her over. Lots of nerves and anxiety. I have her on Magnesium and UlcerGard. But what helped her the most was putting her out with 2 other horses to play with! Now she’s calmed down lots! Maybe penny will do the same when you release her with her little buddies 😊

Laura you look awesome on Penny! Before you know it you’ll be in a show winning first place! I wish you the best 💙💙💙

Holy smokes molly is so fast when she was running in the field !!! Seems like Penny is settling in nicely and you look so good riding her . She is definitely a perfect horse for you ❤️

I think you are so wonderful for Penny and she is perfect for you. I find myself smiling from ear to ear each time I witness your excitement at riding Penny & working with her. I think you now a lot more than you acknowledge--you have an abundance of common sense and your medical background serves you well (including your knowledge of magnesium). Keep living from that place of desire & devotion...what a wonderful lesson for us all.

I can't believe the improvement that had happened with Sophie and Finn they are made for each other 😘😘🤩🤩

I love your videos I have horses myself and i have been riding since I was 2 years old I love you videos you guys are my hero

Storm was like social distancing 🤣🤣🤣

i love u guys sophie is so good at riding and so brave

Laura, this probably doesn't mean much, because you already know it, but I think you and Penny are perfect for each other. I love watching you hang with her, the bond you're forming. And I'm proud of the way you're working with and for her. Keep it up!!!

Don’t worry Laura those were just lies I had a lot of trouble with my black stallion and I was just about to quit until my horse is telling me that we did good and I think you were doing amazing and don’t worry about all of those hates the hates don’t matter but what matters is inside your heart P.S. I hope this made you day or night.👍✌️☺️😂😁

Sophie, You and Finn are the best team ever you give me confidence and you teach me to be brave. Without you I wold not be blessed with my amazing horse. I love you all so much you are amazing just the way you are. And Sophie promise you will not listen to the people that give you hate you are Amazing just the way you are.

Laura i’ve seen some comments being like “hurry up and ride her she will go fresh” etc but honestly take your time. she is THE horse for you, no rush you and your horse have your whole lives ahead of yourselves. either way you and that horse are meant for eachother, it’s a ✨ d r e a m t e a m ✨

Hey Day by Day family! Love you guys.stay positive! Good luck with Penny Laura❤️

I love the Jesus calling devotionals! They’re so wonderfully encouraging, I know you guys will love them ❤️

you are the best family i larn alot abaut horses with you and you made me love horses

Good job moving the saddle pad forward Laura!Looks much better

I love 😍 how Sophie got to ride a bit on the own!! Well done 👍 Daybyday vlogs!! I love 💖 you so much!! 😊👌😍👍💖

sophie was soooo good to stay on after that kick.it was only small but even the smallest kick can scare u so much.LOVE pennys sadddle pad

I love how Sofia is such a confident rider, even if something happens. Same with Gabby

Amazing people check!!!! ❤️ I love you guys so much and you are such an inspiration.

I’m so so proud of you Laura and I’m so happy that your so excited to ride!

Omg troubles on trails are never fun did yall hear abt the girl who died saving her horse on a trail🥺 Also today my mare tired to kill me 😂 But be safe girls!

I love all of your videos. your horses are so Beautiful

You and penny looked so good! I feel like she was calmer today than she was the other day that you rode! My old lease mare had the problem of always wanting to return to the mounting block and to the gate and the piece of advice that my old trainer gave me was to never stop her at the gate until she learnt that she had to keep going. I don’t want to be one of those Internet trainers or anything but I am simply sharing that little piece of advice :). I think that it is absolutely amazing that you figured out a way to help her with her problem all by yourself Laura! Love you guys

Don't worry about them Laura they are all just jealous because you have a nice horse and you are happy😊😊👍👍

The puppy is getting so big!!!

I like the way you ride your horse gabby

Its that lead line hooked on his bit? If so thats so dangerous.

I’m like Sophie even if I get just a penny! Lol love y’all!

Thst looked like a really good ride on penny, she was much more relaxed

I love how she said "When having horses it's just really stressful, like...they rely on you for so much. Like food, water, exercise..like it's a lot." Uhhh...yeah their kinda gunna count on you to feed, water, and exercise them.

Love you guys!!! I can’t wait to see the dramatics of this trail ride haha!! Can’t wait for the snow in your videos!

Laura and Penny look so good in pink!🌺💮🌸

Laura, for cleaning Finns tail- if you use purple shampoo for blonde hair that you can get from a hair salon, it cleans it really well and makes it really white!

The saddle pad looked great today it was in the right spot😊

You are all so good at riding!

You responding to the hate was so inspiring! Love you guys so much

Molly was so happy running around it’s so cute and funny 😂

You go girl always stand up for your self hope you always stand up for yourself

People will hate no matter what it’s how they find peace, I love the saddle pad placement btw! Stick to what you know, the equestrian world is the most hatful sadly people will always think they know what’s best for your horse better than you do. Makes no since. Keep up the good work

You are doing great Laura. Congrats on your new mare. Take your time. Instinct will guide you.

Your videos give me so much joy when I watch then XOXO

When I got my horse it took me a long time to be able to ride off the leadrope even though I had been riding for a long time prior. I found it really helped to just take off the leadrope and feel the partnership with the horse, but I understand how hard that is! I hope Sophie can continue to improve her riding because she is so amazing and improving so much! x

Laura you are HAPPY! Thrilled for Penny and Laura 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

oh no hope you guys are ok tho and love u guys

It no stirrup November! Ride the whole month with no stirrups! Love you guys! ❤️

They would be glad I didn’t get there sooner.

Poor Penny! It must be awful being in season like that ( ALL our mares would come into their cycle together!!) We only have one mare now, we give her a herbal supplement which helps her. Otherwise she'd be a mess, she was a broodmare and took a while to understand that her new life doesn't involve stallions and foals! ❤️🐴

Storm looked so beautiful cantering through the field. I can't wait for the day that you and Penney are able to join them.

Sent you a dm on Instagram with some helpful Info about fitting saddles for walker horses, and western saddle pads that work well with them. And people need to remember she’s still settling in, and to remember the 3, 3, 3 rule. 3 days, 3 weeks, 3 months when you get a new animal. 3 days to settle in and decompress. 3 weeks to learn the routine and realize they are staying and start learning to relax in the new environment. And 3 months to feel secure at home and really start showing their personality. I don’t get why people think when getting a new animal that they should be near perfect from the get go, moving to a place and owner is actually pretty stressful on a horse and it always takes them some time to settle in and start relaxing. Your doing the right thing by getting her on a schedule she can rely on as she is settling in, it’s been what about 10-12 days, I bet in another week and half she will be less jumpy towards everything. And mares are prone to going into heat when they go to a bee place. In fact we would load ours up to go somewhere when we were ready to breed them. Because single time after they got home, they would go in to heat.

I love how much Sofia laughed when she got the 50

Ok so I’m not trying to hate but no offense but Sophia should have tried to steer Finn a little bit away from gabby and storm.

Love watching you and Penny 💕 You are for sure in your happy place 😊

Laura you do you! Don’t let anyone get in the way of your dreams! #Daybydayvlogsforever!❤️

Good morning Laura Gabby Sohpie its so beautiful seeing Gabby catering Storm out in that big field . And Sophie look kinda scared today on finn. And you and miss penny injoying your ride together All my Love to all

Laura, You will find Penny and you will be an amazing team. Laura you are brave and strong you don't let anyone be mean you are strong.

Laura PLEASE PLEASE try MARE MAGIC!! Tractor supply carries it. Penny will feel so much better.

I found that my tense mare does much better relaxing on magnesium. In the 70's magnesium and B6 combined were a big push for humans that were feeling anxiety. I know in Michigan low amounts of selenium are in the soil which affects the horses strength in their legs. So unless people are omnipotent about minerals all over the world, do what you think is best where you live and how the horse responds.

Sofia stuck that very well

I loved wen molly was jumping in the gras and love you guys al and the horses, cats an dogss😊😀❤❤

Penny brings you confidence and you are doing great 👍

Always Believe that god will do a good thing and don’t forget to follow your dream no one else dream.

i think we should rather talk about how much confidence Sophie has gained

U guys r so lucky u have that many horses, cats, and dogs Edit: I mean I can’t complain I have 7 rescue cats, 1 rabbit, 5 goats and one of them Is pregnant, 1 buckskin haired horse named buck, 1 large pony named Jack, and 1 dog who is a golden retriever and her name is Ginger. Who am I kidding I love my life and all I am saying is I am so happy ur guises is as fulfilling as mine. Love u guys so much.

8th day in a row commenting. You and Penny are looking awsome and well done to sophie for doing the trail ride and looking awsome while doing it

Gabby I like they way you ride your horse and way gabby and I like way you work with your horse gabby

Laura, don’t worry about the haters who don’t understand that u r do what is best for YOUR HORSE and it doesn’t matter what they say. I love watching u and penny’s journey and I can’t wait to see what is coming next. Lost of love ❤️🐎🐴

You and penny are such a good team! You look so good up on her!

i just got a black and white pony a couple weeks before you got penny! we are both learning together. she is super scared and timid due to her past! love you and penny’s bond, it’s just like me and my dixies! 💜 also, purple looks good on a black and white horse ;)

Magnesium deficiency is also a big issues in some areas. Where I live the soil is very low in magnesium, occasionally horses do need it supplemented when they dont get enough in there grain/ hay. Its definitely not a drug, if you feed too much they just pee it out. If the supplement affects them then they were low in it.

Thanks for your reply, so glad you are making progress and bonding with Penny.

You looked really good on penny today u can see your learn about each other

Laura you guys definitely deserve everything you have you have worked so hard. My horse is on it too. Vets actually told my to put my horse on it. Those ppl prob don’t even know what they are talking about. -Gabby P.S I love you guys and have watched a video every day for at least 4 years!

Was the lead rope attached to the bit? If it was that can be so damaging to Finns mouth. Try a halter underneath the bridle if necessary

So good guys!!!! You have all grown so much as equestrians i remember when your channel just started i was like there good people but a bit cringe. I continued to watch you guys and you are going amazing and always care so much for your horses!!!!Hope everyone is alright, stay safe!!!!

You’ve got a sweet horse with lots of potential :)). Walking “flat foot” for awhile is a good idea. If kids rode her she probably thinks you’re going to ride her fast. A perfect whoa/stop is vital for safety:))

Hey don’t forget, it is no stirrups November

laura you and penny are so amazing! 💗 when you were walking her you guys looked like you were meant for each other and matching in pink too😆💖 you look so confidence up their too!

Do what makes you happy forget those hateful people, there not you and have no clue of your strength. Love you guys ❤️🐴🐴🐴🐎🐎🐎🐎🐎

Hello! I'm am so proud of everyone and I love watching you guys so much like if I get a chance I sit on my bed for hours watching you guys. I hope you guys never stop making videos!

So proud of you Laura!! Your doing your thing with your mare and it’s working 💜 she’s bonding with you, I can see it happening xx you know as far as negative comments.... you could have one comment saying you shouldn’t give magnesium then the comment below saying you should give magnesium.... you can’t please everyone and you just keep on doing you 😍 love how knowledgeable you are now xxx gosh I’m enjoying your journey with Miss Penny 🌸
