You are so gentle with the newbies. It's such a pleasure to hear your ongoing encouragement and to see the horse respond. It is funny how little those jumps seem but how big of an accomplishment it is to get through a course with no run outs. Lovely run.
The "greenie gumby" wiggles make me smile but he seems to have a good head on his shoulders and he's really trying for you. Start boxes are verrrry scary!
Love the work you’re doing with him! Nice, steady pace, giving him time to figure things out, and the reassurance all the way. He’s gonna be real competition in the future I bet!
What a wonderful round! You must be so proud of him! I can't wait to watch you develop his talent. You always do a great job building them into their full potential and it's always a pleasure and a gift to have it shared with us!!
He did so well with those jumps in & out the woods & dappled shade. He could have easily spooked but he just literally took it all in his stride. Good lad. Great ride & a splendid team. 🥰👌🏼
Do you have any tips for slowing down excited thoroughbreds? I typically do pretty well with them, but we have one big boy at our lesson barn named Redding, and he doesn’t really have a consistent pace. He’ll start off way too slow, but once he gets excited going over jumps, he’ll be extremely hard to stop and will just canter around the ring without stopping, and I’m not sure how to slow him down, and of course using the reins in any real capacity just makes him brace and speed up. Is there anything in particular that is important with making thoroughbreds slow down - or at least just keep a consistent pace?
@ElisaWallace I wish I could ride a course with you😭 I love your horses are they yours or do you train them for someone or like lease them out something?
He behaves like a 4 year old. At his age he could be riding Le Lion d'Angers (CCI 3*). Is there a special reason why you bring him this late to the business?
He’s had a bit of rough start when he came off the track in 2019 With people that misunderstood him and mishandled him. He had a year off as he was borderline dangerous. He’s been in my program a month now and is transforming. Also I tend to think it’s a bit much for the horses at Le Lion. I’ve started many tbs in their 2nd career at 6yo. This one is pretty smart he just has some emotional scars.

I love watching the babies figure out things.

Love to see another barn tour sometime. This guy has lots of energy!
I another barn tour would be good since there are so many new faces.
Looks like you show him something and he figures it out. Skips over ditches, canters through water, jumps an up bank...what a good pony!!!
They way you reassured him ❤️
It's always nice to see you riding someone new, a change of pace!
Love the work you’re doing with him! Nice, steady pace, giving him time to figure things out, and the reassurance all the way. He’s gonna be real competition in the future I bet!
I always learn so much watching your videos. Keep showing all these including the flub ups, because it helps all of us trying to be better horsewomen.
What a nice, steady pace he went

The beginner, learning ponies are my favorite videos!
Beautiful ride as always Elisa!
His grunts are so cute🥺

Oh your horse is gorgeous! 😍❤️ And keep uploading these videos!
My parents lead equibrew, you may know them? well, I'm their daughter and just wanted to say that you are amazing, and you are my inspiration 🥰🥰
Lovely confidence giving round. Lovely to watch
Love the way you video 📹 all the way back to the trailer! The "after ride".
You handle his fears effortlessly.
Well done Capo dei Capi ❤️
Oh, a baby, so awesome. And what a good horse he seems to be, I'm sure he's going to be great when he gets more experience.
Aww, little sweetheart. He already looks like he wants to do more.
Excited love your videos
Looking good!
had to look it up "Boss of Bosses"
You are so good with these guys! 👏👏
What a nicely consistent horse!
What a lovely horse
He looks like a lot of fun to sit on. Lovely boy.
You’re so good at this!
Great ride. Was that a trakehner on beginner novice towards the end? Well done!
It’s a great intro. I love it for the babies to learn at this stage.
Love majestic the owner is so sweet
Boss of the bosses! 😍 bravo!
Pure joy to watch😊
Now this is positive reinforcement, none of that abusive crap TikTok has going on
I have a 4 year old OTTB that I want to train as an eventer, I can’t wait until we get to go cross country schooling for the first time lol
Go capi!!

Full of himself this one is! Like sitting on a keg of dynomite.
