I’m sorry but your commentary is just the best 😂😂 “I’m a moron” 😂 your so hard on yourself… you rode beautifully 😍
I am a logger in Oregon USA Don’t normally care for pink and light blue. But I have to admit looks pretty damn good. Surprised you got am man to go along with it at first. But every man has his weakness
It wasn't that bad lol! I'm the same way, I can't afford lots of lessons so my husband always films my lessons when I do go & it's very helpful.
Nice horse 🐴
Love this.....I also have tit hands!!! Looks like I'm doing the macarena sometimes!!!!
Brilliant video! You’ve got this 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼 xxx
Love your xc commentary vids Vic 😍 hoping to be back out XC when my new saddle arrives, I'll need to remember to push forward also🤘🐎💨
I loved this! I want to enter Eland (I think just the 80) but this has been wonderful to watch!
Reading your book 2 atm. Absolutely admire your 2017 season!
Seriously impressive! Well done!!
Thank you xxx
Hiya what paint did you use for the grey was it a metal paint or? I'm on maternity leave bought a trailer last year its never been out gonna revamp it after watching this video. Have the same box as you
100% would love an intro to clipping! I am still learning how to improve my clipping. Also tips to make clipping faster would be great.
So sorry for your heartbreaking loss! You are so brave! I have no idea what u are going thru, but be kind to yourself, do what you need to heal and grieve That jump is bloody massive 😳 way to go! Loved this video
Another Lister Star owner here. They make light work of my traditional cob's "yak" coat every 3 to 4 weeks. Very envious of your experienced technique.... I'm still learning and get awful tram-lines, despite sharp blades and a clean coat!! Will deffo try the coat spray trick next time! Lovely to see you with a smile on your face again. Stay strong, sweetie xxx
So sorry to hear about your news 💜 He looks beautiful clipped out, would love to see a video on 'pulling' tails!
I can’t imagine going through that. Massive virtual hugs to you and your family! Cheers to a better 2021!!
Clipping video would be good
He looks so good clipped
Would absolutely love a clipping video! I do mine by myself but never get the finish I would like! Loved how casual and chatty this vlog was, my fave kind! And love the hair colour!❤️
Awww thank you!!! It’s growing on me ❤️🎄❤️🎄❤️🎄 xxx
Again, I knew you'd smash it. Just watching this back again, and wanted to share a "bricking it" moment if I may - i have recently started doing XC... so maybe 7 or 8 times since lockdown over the last few months. I was feeling optimistic and entered myself for a Regional Riding Club ODE. So the day comes and I arrive at the yard, got the horse ready and was helping out at the event as it was our RC hosting. When it came time to get my mount ready, the first thing that happens is the zip breaks on my riding boot. I have what I can only describe as a massive panic attack. (oh yes, I was also running late due to struggling with the boot zip) when getting her ready. So after a very hurried warm up we enter the arena and do a very hurried version of the test. Then had to get to jumping warm up ring (my jumping time was quite close to my dressage time). I hopped off and popped martingale on the mare and back protector on myself.... thanks to lockdown the bloody thing wouldn't close! So struggled, eventually spotting a friend's boyfriend who kindly helped shoe-horn me into the back protector. Then the search for a jumping whip ensues... can't find that.... hurriedly borrow a friend's whip and head to the warm up arena. Again, a quick warm up and into the jumping field. She was picking up on my nerves and was going a tad too quick to some of the fences so had those down... not so bad, get out of the arena, give her a big pat and untack her, let her have a drink etc. Changed into XC top and taped up said riding boot. Then horse starts bucking and bolting in the XC warm up - getting excited watching other horses jumping nearby fences etc. Once out on the XC popped the first fence fine, she bloody slid to a stop at the second and I parted company, picked myself back off the ground and did the walk of shame back to the yard so I wouldn't be in anyone else's way. Kinda left feeling annoyed with myself and more nervous than before of XC. On the plus side, I've had a schooling session since which went quite well and am trying again on Sunday (Sept 6) a 2 phase - showjumping/xc. Anyway, I think the point was that you do inspire me to keep going when really, I'd feel like not wanting to try again etc. Here's hoping this time goes better. Sorry for going on so long :/ x
Do you know how to remove the side panels? and what wood is best to replace? Does the roof have to come off? Thanks
That dressage was so harshly marked! Though equally sometimes it happens where the judge just doesn’t like the horse I guess. But you and pea look awesome and I can’t wait to see the rest of your event season now!!!
I agree that your test was harshly marked in the wrong places, almost like you got the wrong test sheet back! It was a very sweet, consistent test
There will be a fleet of glittery trailers up and down the country now....... *heads off to buy glitter, lacquer and Hammerite*
😍😍😍😍
Yay! I have been so excited for this video. Looking forward to doing mine now with all your tips :D x
amazing video!! i really want to do this with my trailer now 😆
