YARD VLOG: runaway buski edition 

Erin, don’t be sorry! He is a fit, happy, well taken care of horse, and he was feeling fantastic! They’re not robots. They’re animals with minds and ideas of their own! Getting them to always obediently work with us is a blessing 😅 And a rarity!

People also need to remember that his life in Spain was so so different it’s all still new to him! He has a brilliant life with you now

Buski is feeling his oats! Every horse has their days, where everything seemes to go wrong, and others where everything goes flawlessly. All I have to say is Buski looks amazing, and I'm so glad to see him!

Erin, Buski was the most beautiful andgelic looking horse, he looked like he was always cheery and goofy, and yet he was so elegant and precious , my heart goes out to you and your family during times like this, stay strong, buski gained his wings and is always watching you from above.🤍🕊️

it’s so funny to me that any negative comment gets more likes than the positive. lurking in search of negativity is so strange! but a huge thank you to all of the positive comments and genuinely rational people - you guys are the best and the reason i continue to post 🖤

Oh my god I am soo glad you posted this. A lot of RU-vidrs and influencers don’t show this reality of owning horses. But days like these can happen to anybody, people just dont show it. Thank you for posting this 🎀💗

I was weak at 4:37 when she was lifting his head up by his massive mane. 😂 There’s just so much of it! What a handsome boy. Thank you for showing the reality of owning a horse. It’s not always glitter and rainbows.

You could say Buski was having a 'mare' of a day! Kudos to you for posting the reality of owning horses and turning a disaster into a bit of humor ... hope you managed your midnight snack 😂

I found that funny, at least no one got hurt. Gotta love horses 😂

I honestly love how real and honest you are Erin. It’s so refreshing seeing good the and bad don’t ever apologies!

Ok Erin I don’t see any negative messages here and you are very brave being so open charing your bad days etc. I watched your videos in Spain and I am delighted to see Buski at home with you. I do have a nagging worry though. I am not so sure that Buski is not getting really bored with the amount of time you spend playing with his mane. Laying down ( which he did towards the end of this recording) is clear protest from him. Also with him not letting you catch him, tells me that he is building resistance towards you. My advice, leave his mane alone, either platted or loose and only attend to it at certain designated times (weekly)? Work him loose or lunge and keep changing direction and speed transactions. I can see he easily gets bored. You will have to be on your toes with him keeping him interested. Erin beauty comes at a cost and you will now start realising the cost of his beauty. I do wish you luck and wisdom.

Props to you for showing the reality of horses! I had a similar experience the other day so it feels great to know even the top riders go through the same stuff

Oh Lord. Buski woke up and chose chaos and violence that day.😅 While I know some Spanish horses can be super fiery, I never thought I’d see one out-antic a Thoroughbred.😂 It’s so tough when you have an otherwise pretty well behaved horse, have a day where all of their learning and usual behavior is seemingly chucked out the window.🥴 I started out on Arabians and Thoroughbreds are my loves and breed of choice, so I know how this is ALL too well. What worked for me and my TB boy TREMENDOUSLY well, was working on ground manners 30 mins. to 1 hour, 4-5 days a week, and a calming supplement that was vitamins/minerals based, not any drug or herb ones since we were showing. 2-3 years of that consistency, and he turned into a chill pill that I would trust a child leading him. All horses are different though, and you just have to find what works for each one.

Lol what a day! 😂 Maybe feeling his hormones more with spring around the corner? Lovely to see him again, he's sooo gorgeous! 😍 PREs are super sensitive, just the fact that you brought a friend to ride him could be why he was on edge, a new person could definitely set mine off. He likes things to be exactly the same every day or he can get quite upset.🙈 The rolling is a natural stress response, as you say he's a horse and he's just being a horse and doing what he needs to do to cope. He's not being bad on purpose, they never are! ❤️ Thanks for keeping it real Erin 🥰

Its great to see Buski! and thank you for keeping it REAL. He is an amazing horse and while he was a bit naughty today, it was sure fun to watch.

We can tell that you know how horses work and how can you properly take care of them. Horses have their good and bad days, remember that you're blessed with multiple horses and we love your real, unfiltered vlogs even though non-equestrians are going to say something (but when will they won't). Just trying to say is there will ALWAYS be days like this but just remember you have supportive fans and by the end of the day the horses love you and you love them.❤❤❤❤

Erin this was hil-arious.😂😂😂"Take THAT Mom!" What a little brat ! But how WONDERFUL to see this horse so HAPPEEEE ! I remember when you tried him in Spain and soooo wishing you would choose him. He was breathtakingly gorgeous but seemed so sad, nothing of the spirit we see now. Girl you have CLEARLY given him a wonderful life . I think you are a wonderful, kind- hearted , knowledgeable equestrian. ❤️ from 🇨🇦

Oh dear Buski needs a refresher course cheeky boy. Glad you both got to ride him girls and your both lovely riders .He is stunning tbh and I’m sure you will get him to behave better.tfs🤗🏇🤗

I love that you are brave enough to show the 'bad' days. Its just a reality that not everything is perfect. Every day on social media you see picture perfect footage, wich is often unrealistic. Horses can be difficult and a handfull. Not everything is always perfect. That is what i like about your channel! That you show these things. It is also a good reminder that everyone has bad days and it doesn't always have to be perfect. Thsnk you for sharing! ❤

Horses are really something else! I'd love to see some in-depth schooling videos with Gee, Buski, and Sonny, if you ever feel like doing videos like that - they're all so different and so interesting, and you're a gorgeous rider. The way you explained training collected canter and flying changes in Harlow's video was really informational and helpful!

Thank you for showing the reality of horse riding. I thorough appreciate this!!!

Both amazing riders and absolutely stunning horse! Love how real Erin is ❤️

Thank you for not filtering this out and showing the realities of owning a horse ❤

Buski looks so gorgeous (his mane is SOOO long, OMG), and he is a stallion so he obviously has very ecstatic days! Congrats on handling the situation well and also reaching a million subscribers! Good on you for posting this video and showing the reality of owning horses. They are animals with a mind of their own and they have bad days just like us

He is in a mood and having a moment, we’ve all been there. As long as you don’t hold it against him you guys are fine. Tomorrow is another day ❤ you’re doing great Erin!

Sometimes they are just on a tear no matter what you do! You do what you can to get him to a positive place to stop for the day without either of you getting hurt. They have a will and mind of their own, folks ❤

I’m so glad to see this shift in your mentality, I know it’s hard but good on you!

Happens to us all 🤣🤣🤣 when they decide they’re going to be wild they’re just gonna do it, then they’ll regret it when they’re sweaty & knackered and wanna take a day long nap 🤣

Thank you for showing the reality! We all have off days, but I think you handled it so well. It takes a great measure of horsemanship to not get upset with him about it, and just adjust to what he needs in that moment. You know your horse better than anyone else. Keep going!

Love your content Erin, always so honest! I know it's early days with Buski, and with being a stallion it takes them so much longer to settle than others, so don't worry too much about the off days

Its happening girl! Dont worry. You get the right decision with lunging. I work with horses 33 years now and i tottally understand when "accident" happen, my confidence fall down for days😢. But for the horses its just a moment. Some horsmanship ideas can help you for train stand still in an easy way. My first stallion did this to my knee in a vetcheck because he is bored and wanted to do the "hello" trick with one leg (he is extremly gentleman and inteligent buddy i've ever seen like yours). I could bare it without laughing.😂

It happens to all of us you’re doing really well! Appreciate the transparency so many influencers only show the perfect parts

Rest in Paradise,Buski ❤️

🤣🤣 what a day!! U couldn't make it up!! Well done to u for dealing with all of that in one day, yr face while he was being lunged looked like u were just about to cry, 😂 wouldn't have blamed u!! He's a naughty little boy, but his complete gorgeousness helps to forgive him!! Good for u for posting the reality and not fake social media reality!! Good for u!! U do a great job with them!! Xx

His hair is a project on its own, fantastic.

Haha so glad I’m not the only one that experiences these if you don’t laugh you’ll cry moments with their horses 😂

RIP beautiful Buski❤

He is an absolute sweetheart he is stunning and you are a great Owen to have for him he is lovely and he’s has came so care since you bought him and you are a great rider and great control ❤ I hope your leg is ok

It’s happened to me too!! Horses are 1,000+ lb animals with brains the size of walnuts, it happens ❤

First! I love your vids Erin ❤

Don"t worry you delt with him amazingly !! btw i love your videos !!

Erin .. 👋👋 I own horses I know some days it just don’t go as planned. If u get negative comments, ignore them just do what is best for u and yr horses,, love u my friend ❤️😊…

THANK YOU for posting the real riding experience! When I was getting into riding as a (covers mouth to mumble) thirty-something (cough), after spending months binge-watching other RU-vidrs, I would get out to my riding place and see my trainer's OTTBs acting unpredictably and think what is going on?! Is she a bad trainer? Are her horses problematic? This surely isn't normal?! I wish I had seen videos like this one beforehand, so I had a better idea of what to expect. So thank you Erin, from a new subscriber, for being REAL!

bless you Erin, you looked really sad and hurt, but we all go through this at some point and horses are horses, hope you have an amazing day :)

congrats on 1 million btw! love ur content 💕

Thank you for sharing this. I own a young ottb and one day he’s good and the other I can’t even ride him because he so frazzled up. Thank you for posting this so I can see that I’m not alone❤

Erin I love this Vlog it’s real and funny, sorry, but no really I’m glad you share it as is as like you say he has his own brain and just decided not to be a good boy on film today 🤣.. you are such a beautiful rider and we love watching you so keep doing what your doing 💪 xxx

Congratulations on 1 subscribers you deserve it!! 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

Oh bless you erin

I’m so sorry he’s gone, 🕊❤️

Buskie is so funny! Having to much fun 😂😂

Beautiful collection

You two are so COOL!!!

Buski is so GORGEOUS you made the most amazing choice and he is amazing incredible and handsome ❤❤❤😊😊

Awesome ❤

Thanks for sharing Erin,we can't always control animals maybe a bad day for the horse 🐴💕

Good grief-somebody thought he was the shit, lol! I appreciate your transparency in this experience. Im pretty sure we've all had horses that made us think WTF?????? Who are you?

YOU GO GIRL❤❤❤

I don’t have a horse, but I know this is just part of owning one. There’s always gonna be some problems and other things that the horse does, but you can’t truly control it.

Erin thank you so much for sharing ❤️ everyone has a bad day sometimes

Keeping it real Erin, no shame in that .❤

What ever u do,i allways Miss it,love forever for erin❤❤❤❤❤🔥🔥🔥🔥😍😍😍😍😍

Gorgeous horse ❤

Horses are horses, and spring is coming i have a coming 3yr old stallion, its been torrential rain the last couple of days so his been in his stable longer then usual the last couple of days, but i got there this morning and he was wired, so out for the day he went in the heavy rain

He's got Sping fever😂❤

Trust me, i think you handled buski amazingly. Besides, we all have our days:)

In Spain he looked like he had his sprit abit knocked out , now hes got it back lol … so beautiful , full of himself ❤

LOLOLL! I haven't laughed this hard for a long time! Thank you! 😀 And what a lovely horse, he is. Andalusian? So the third mishap was your foot, eh? LOL! Horses will burst out with epic energy sometimes - certain situations from my equestrian youth comes to mind. ;-)

I zoomed out after i saw the mane, just thinking oh my gawd the maintenance on that mane 😂😂

Been there, done it!🤣💖

Love you Erin ❤

You’re amazing sweetie ❤❤❤❤❤❤

Oow this happened to me at least 3x times in the 4 years I had my Arabian stallion.. Shit happens sometimes.. It's just something that can happen no matter how careful you are.. That same stallion could walk with me off the rope in the woods and come back immediately every single time I called him.. But he was just a very well trained but also very cheeky boy that was a better escape artist than Houdini was. He did break the tree of my sadle twice by rolling with it though but never got hurt himself. Who cares what the "Karen's of the world" have to say.. They will always find something to complain about..

God bless Erin William

Like I said when we first saw him, he’s majestically stunning ❤️❤️❤️ those mane are amazing ❤️❤️❤️

I giggled so much when you said he escaped my horse done the same thing and then got stuck in his reins and got stuck he’s ok do t worry 😂

i totally feel you owning horses can be a nightmare I'm currently training my off the track 10 year old standardbred and some days he's amazing then others i feel like screaming at him like only a few days ago i got on walk was good tried to get into a trot and he started trying to swing his rear end at my trainer to kick him mind you i am a newer rider so def wasn't helping that i was nervous as well we all have our good and bad days, love watching your channel xx

Mom, I just want to be wild and free. I watched to many Heartland episodes last night. Let me be emo for one day.

R.I.P buski ❤

Oh no! Thank you some much for showing this, I’ve had a lot of hard times with horse. And I love professionals showing it. 🫶🏼 that’s you xx I hope your alr x you don’t deserve to get hate for this. They are animals they have their own mind, even the best behaved horse have bad days xx

❤❤

When i first went to ride my now loan he got his headcollar off and ran away he didnt roll though and you did the best thing you could have done so well done

fr its so filtered rn xx everything is so perfect and i just dont see how its fair to hate on the people that care for their horses and take good care of them,like erin said they are horses they have their own minds and theres nothing you can do about it (beautiful horse btw erin buski is apsolutely stunning,and you do well by that horse and all your horses xxx

Rest in peace buski 🪦

❤❤❤❤❤❤

Omg totally agree my horse used to be the same he had his bipolar moments they do have there own minds dont mean your bad horses test you all the time and that the beauty of being a horse owner and rider the one thing I will nit pick on is the fact you didnt loung him

I’m here from unbridled!!❤

He is so so so so Beautiful❤

Nice ❤❤

Buski looks twice the horse that he used to be. You have really done a great job on him he's so happy.what are you feeding him. ?

Everything will be okay it will take time patience with Buski he need to get used to living in London too ❤❤❤❤❤❤

You are Doing so well with him

Oh my gosh! 😂

🙏🏻 🙏🏻

Hey, I love that you care so much about your horses! Especially when you said that you would reflect on the day so you could find out what bugged him so much to do what he did. However, Im actually a lilttle bit scared to write the next part because I don‘t want to offend you or anyone else. You probably know as a high leveld rider with lots of experience that an open mouth like Buski‘s at the end of the video when you and your friend ride him means he is in pain right? Maybe because of the bit. Is it a single joined one? Many people don‘t know that joined bits are actually not very comfortable for the horse. You can easaly test that if you take the bit in your hand, put rains on it and than start pulling with low to high presure. A bit with no joints is way more comfortable if you compare it. But you are his rider so you probably know what works best on him. At last, I just want to say I love how honest you are at showing days like this to us and that you are so open minded about so many things! Have a nice day. (Sorry for my english, it‘s not the best.)

This is so normal he is just a very sassy pony and this is also what happen with my pony he is very cheeky but it was after I fell off so it was quite funny ❤️❤️

Hey, Erin!🖤🖤

erin: im not gonna battle this poo stain as its not too bad also erin: cleans the same poo stain🤣

Hi Erin I love your videos and I love you and your horses and have you seen you GOT 1 MILLION SUBS I’m so happy for you❤ Kh Clara💜💜💜🐴🐴🐴🐴🐴👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
