I’m sure Diva will settle down in her approach to the cross-country jumps when she gets some more basic gymnastic work. You were really good with her. And she goes right to the jumps, which is always good when riding cross country. She’s not backed off by the jumps. I really loved the jumping to water. That’s usually a sticking point if there’s going to be any kind of problem, and she was like, nope, let me do it. I loved Jenna‘s horse. He is a hunk! What a jump on him! Do you know what breed he is?
I watch all of you even Lauren and ally but she’s not been on for ages miss her withParker he’s stunning I miss Camilla Mortensen too she’s mesmerizing to watch a cracking little rider. 😎
i love how you could see how excited she got every time you were closing on a jump, picked up her pace, perked up her head and looked so happy to jump!!
Congratulations, Holly! You certainly are not only an excellent show jumper but also a fascinating bush girl. Diva got VERY excited? So what? You handled her very effectively. Wow! How you made her go for the water - that was perfect!. As was the up jump. And Diva seemed to love it, was so happy that you took her cross country. And she loved the way how you rode her. You should take her more often xc. And I would like to see more of it.
I love this! Diva looks like she loves doing this! You two are really a partnership! I hate when people force thier horses to do this! You two look so happy!
O Holly after a really rubbish week here for me this video was just what I needed. Watching you so excited at the beginning and then watching you ride was fab. I love seeing u so happy too is lovely and I'm so happy for you. I'm sure Yr mum and dad miss u and u them but know how well u r doing must make them so proud. Take care of u and keep safe and give the beautiful red head Diva an extra carrot from me lol xx
You were both brilliant !! You looked so good . I smiled all the way through that video . You are so good at riding an excited horse xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Wow, you ride Diva so well !! Her owner is going to have a beautifully schooled horse by the time you are done ! 👌🏻☺️ can we just take a moment for Choco too.....what a stunner and beautiful jumper too ! 👏🏻🥰❤️
omg that was so cool. maybe you should try when you o back cantering up to the fence and bring her back to trot on the smaller ones. i am no expert but that is wha i have been taught. xxxxx
"it's a little bit cool here" as she's there in her tee-shirt and I'm watching in a big thick jumper thinking "you've forgotten what cold weather feels like! 🤪
How tall is Diva, on the flat here you look big on her but i've seen other videos where you look regular. You've got her flat dialed in perfectly Holly. This complex is so cool. Handling the water like a champ!
Glad you are having a good time, DIVA is gorgeous, but I miss your shows with your DAD he is a great character you know👍👍❤️❤️ How long are you there for? I forgot.
Holly Lenahan thanks sooooooooo much!Also I’m jealous of you in Australia over in England it’s FREEZING.And I’m on the South East not even in the North of England! The “hottest” (I’ve got it in bunny ears because it’s not hot at all) is 9 degrees!
Diva is a SPICY lady! Haha she looks great! Looked more like Welbeck now that she is gaining muscle and balance! Choco reminded me of Khal a bit, but it could just be that he's big and bay with a white stripe! :)
I am literally petrified of Australia. When you were loping around through the cross-country course, I had VISIONS of some friggin Goliath or Bird Eating Spider falling out of a tree and on top of you. Not sure how you brush off those fears, but kudos! I don't think I could ever set foot in a country where everything wants to eat you LOL....I know, I know...I'm a little extreme haha.
Loving the videos and updates while you're in australia! I want to go to there also for an equine hospital internship, but I'm so afraid of the spiders, and I imagine they must be frequently seen around horses!
Holly, she seems fine in the trot. Has there been an old injury to one of her hind legs? She seems a bit stiff there in the canter. She's a bit choppy on the hind legs in the canter, but moves both legs well in the trot.
You seem so happy! I am very glad to see it 😍❤️ I wanna go cross country schooling SO BAD! It's a shame I don't know anywhere close that I can go :/ Also, Diva seems a lot of fun!
Do you ( or anyone ) have any tips on keeping your stirrups on the ball of your foot? They always slide into the middle of my feet and then my heels go up and I need some advice
Looking good! She looks much better already, more balanced. But please wear a bodyprotector next time when doing XC. If you take a fall, you won't hurt yourself that much. I would be so scared btw that snakes and spiders will fall out the trees or are in the grass. You never know in Australia haha.
you were able to bring her back after every single time she would shake her head. How has she been different from Khal and Dali in terms of stallion vs. mare?
Hey I just want to ask something keep in mind I am don't know as much ad most of you do. Do are your stirrups ment to be that short cause you also rise alot with your Rising trot?
Hi! I really enjoy watching you ride, this sesion was amazing but please wear your safety vest every time you do cross country! I as a eventing rider had a hard time watching you jump without it. Good luck in your next eventing adventures :)
Yeah, eventing :). Plz try eventing comps with diva. Also can your dad plz do a quick update vlog
And here we have a wild Holly and Diva zooming through their natural habitat
I love seeing your progress with Diva, she looks so much more balanced in canter already! She definitely loves XC too 🤣
I’m sure Diva will settle down in her approach to the cross-country jumps when she gets some more basic gymnastic work. You were really good with her. And she goes right to the jumps, which is always good when riding cross country. She’s not backed off by the jumps. I really loved the jumping to water.

I loved Jenna‘s horse. He is a hunk! What a jump on him! Do you know what breed he is?
@@fleetskipper1810 You realize your not taking to holly, right? 😅
I could tell Diva was saying: we should be running! Jenna’s horse looked like a lovely scopey boy.
She looks such a babe Holly lovely that you’ve found such a sweet horse to ride whilst over there 🧡
She is, delighted with her!
Hi Tina!I love yours and Hollies Vids!
I watch all of you even Lauren and ally but she’s not been on for ages miss her withParker he’s stunning I miss Camilla Mortensen too she’s mesmerizing to watch a cracking little rider. 😎
Is it just me or does the laugh of the person behind the camera sounds like the laugh of our favourite Irish horse dad?
Boy, Diva is one quick girl. Lovely to see how she slowed towards end. Great vlog!
i love how you could see how excited she got every time you were closing on a jump, picked up her pace, perked up her head and looked so happy to jump!!
Your stickability is insane!!!!
I just saw your story timer go down so now I'm here 😂 so excited! D's a little super star ⭐
Diva was amazing, she has such an eager adorable personality. And Cocoa(?) is so beautiful, your friend is so lucky!!
It was so amazing to meet you at the vet a few days ago 🥺
So exciting to see her come into her own!! She looks like such fun!! Can’t wait to see you and Diva grow into each other!!🐎🐎

Gosh she's bold - I have never seen a style quite like that "Oh a jump, let me BOLT TOWARDS it". Even the first water
She’s an enthusiastic jumper! 💕
You could really see how much power Diva had when she flew over some of the bulky fences from a trot! Great job to the both of you!!
That was fun Holly Diva flew over the jumps wow you got her settled nicely, the other horse was a dream your a great little rider tfs.😎
You were both brilliant !! You looked so good . I smiled all the way through that video . You are so good at riding an excited horse xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Ok can we just take a second for the insane transformation their partnership has had in such short time!!! This is awesome. SO happy for you Holly :)
Choco is absolutely gorgeous😍 But so is Diva of course! Well done to you all!
Diva looks great! She has already become so strong in her canter! Can't wait to see your journey together!! 🦄🦄 cyberhugs and kisses from Sweden! 🦄🥰🇸🇪🦄
I literally cannot wrap my head around the fact that it’s late spring in Australia right now. Wild.
Hey, its actually early spring!! Sorry!
Wow, you ride Diva so well !! Her owner is going to have a beautifully schooled horse by the time you are done ! 👌🏻☺️ can we just take a moment for Choco too.....what a stunner and beautiful jumper too ! 👏🏻🥰❤️
i see a hat well done, not sure who enjoyed that more you or Diva.
Love your videos Holly. Diva so much more relaxed coming to a fence in trot. Admirable riding from you.
Amazing! You two did awesome ❤️
omgosh that is literally my pony club😳 that... omg im shook.. Holly lenahan went to the pony club I GO TO AAAH haha
Thats so COOOLLL!!!!
Do you mind me asking what pony club it is? I'm trying to get an idea of what pony clubs in Victoria are open for schooling!
@@Cockatiels100 Bendigo.
@@Cockatiels100 yeah its mandurang south😁
I like the way you ride and you are so good on how you ride
Lovely! Glad to see you’re having fun down under!
they are both such cute horse, you should definitely enter a ht, I think comps are opening back up!!!
Such a beautiful mare, and you are such a nice rider ♥️
omg that was so cool. maybe you should try when you o back cantering up to the fence and bring her back to trot on the smaller ones. i am no expert but that is wha i have been taught. xxxxx
"it's a little bit cool here" as she's there in her tee-shirt and I'm watching in a big thick jumper thinking "you've forgotten what cold weather feels like! 🤪
No word of a lie, I was randomly thinking about you eventually being reunited with your boys today then I saw you posted a video!! Love these Holly!
You guys look amazing! Please do some eventing!!
How tall is Diva, on the flat here you look big on her but i've seen other videos where you look regular. You've got her flat dialed in perfectly Holly. This complex is so cool. Handling the water like a champ!
Looks like so much fun!
Glad you are having a good time, DIVA is gorgeous, but I miss your shows with your DAD he is a great character you know👍👍❤️❤️ How long are you there for? I forgot.
Diva says LETS GOOOOOOOO
You look amazing holly!!!!! Love ya
Ooh yay!XC is soooooo much fun!In fact I’ve got a hunter trial tommorow 🙃
Good luck, have fun!
Holly Lenahan thanks sooooooooo much!Also I’m jealous of you in Australia over in England it’s FREEZING.And I’m on the South East not even in the North of England! The “hottest” (I’ve got it in bunny ears because it’s not hot at all) is 9 degrees!
Amazing video as always! X
quite random but i LOVE your smile omg
This is awesome! I have tried XC on my horse but she isn't exactly the bravest🤣🤣🤣
Diva is a SPICY lady! Haha she looks great! Looked more like Welbeck now that she is gaining muscle and balance! Choco reminded me of Khal a bit, but it could just be that he's big and bay with a white stripe! :)
me watching the warm-up: Wow, she's so calm!
me watching her jump: WhY iS iT sPiCy
Hahahah literally 😂😂
She’s a super star
I watched this pretty much the whole time in th er great job at jumping!❤️
THE INTROOO
I am literally petrified of Australia. When you were loping around through the cross-country course, I had VISIONS of some friggin Goliath or Bird Eating Spider falling out of a tree and on top of you. Not sure how you brush off those fears, but kudos! I don't think I could ever set foot in a country where everything wants to eat you LOL....I know, I know...I'm a little extreme haha.
EgoListic nah it’s true... but you just get used to it 😂
...It's the DROP BEARS you have to watch out for...O_o
Loving the videos and updates while you're in australia! I want to go to there also for an equine hospital internship, but I'm so afraid of the spiders, and I imagine they must be frequently seen around horses!
Haven’t seen a big spider yet! I wouldn’t let that put you off ☺️
Diva reminds me of Welbeck so much.
I don’t think I would want to ride Diva cross country, but you did great with her!
Haha I had the same thought! Holly has no fear!
What! Why!?
@@equineelli2726 very forward- it can be scary if they hit a bad spot, potential rotational fall!
This is sooo exciting to watch!!
..woooh she did enjoy that...lovely to see
Very well done to both of you. Your friend’s horse Choco is gorgeous!!! I thought you needed a body vest to do cross country 😅😅
You need a vest to compete but when you're just out having fun it's up to the person
Chloe Richards oh ok!! Here even on schooling we need vest ;)
Diva is Amazing!!!! you look converted to eventing lol yayyy
Holly, she seems fine in the trot. Has there been an old injury to one of her hind legs? She seems a bit stiff there in the canter. She's a bit choppy on the hind legs in the canter, but moves both legs well in the trot.
love this!
I'm so jealous! I'm still in stage 4 lock down and its to wet to ride in my paddocks 😭
D is such a cutie!!
I got kinda sad when I didn’t recognise the facility you were at... I was hoping you were living near me! But D is such a cutie.. very happy for you!
same tbh xD
I enjoy watching your videos.
Not going to lie I missed your dad's commentary 😀
choco looks soooo nice to
Loving Diva's personality :) Just curious, what are your horses doing while you're in Aus?
so amazing !!! youre such an inspiration.
You seem so happy! I am very glad to see it 😍❤️
I wanna go cross country schooling SO BAD! It's a shame I don't know anywhere close that I can go :/
Also, Diva seems a lot of fun!
Do you have anywhere you can make your own course, even just a few jumps or something? That’s what I’ve had to do because there’s nowhere near me hehe
SuperNoodle that'd be great but I don't own a horse either :/
Luiza Fonseca Ah, shame. I hope you find a place near enough soon ❤️
SuperNoodle thank you ❤️ it was a great suggestion though
She’s definitely keen about cross country
I want to see Khal and Dhali!!!!
Do you ( or anyone ) have any tips on keeping your stirrups on the ball of your foot? They always slide into the middle of my feet and then my heels go up and I need some advice
Looking good! She looks much better already, more balanced.
But please wear a bodyprotector next time when doing XC. If you take a fall, you won't hurt yourself that much.
I would be so scared btw that snakes and spiders will fall out the trees or are in the grass. You never know in Australia haha.
I don’t own one unfortunately but I would definitely invest in one if I were to keep doing cross country. Thank you ☺️
you were able to bring her back after every single time she would shake her head. How has she been different from Khal and Dali in terms of stallion vs. mare?
Can’t wait watch!! And I’m late . I hate myself now!
Naughty holly didn’t wear a body protector 🤭🤫
she probably didn't bring one, they are quite expensive too so maybe she didnt really have the need to invest in one
Hmmmmm 😏🤫🤭🤔
You don't have to wear a body protector, I don't
Equine Ellie I know you don’t have to but it’s just smart cuz it’s a bit more protection if you go splat
Back protector only required in competition.
i’m just imagining the commentary your dad could give to a video like this 😂
Hey I just want to ask something keep in mind I am don't know as much ad most of you do. Do are your stirrups ment to be that short cause you also rise alot with your Rising trot?
You shorten your stirrups for cross country 😁 also I think there the right length
Australia looks beautiful, have you seen any giant spiders yet?😶😂
This is my pony club grounds!
Just wondering if you are planning to compete Deva? love the vids xx
Competitions aren’t running in Victoria unfortunately, but if they start back up then maybe! ☺️
Oh , that chestnut on the cover, was she the one for sale around 4500?
Where did you other horse go?
Omg early love your vids
me only just realising my riding idol is currently in the same city as me 😱😱😱😊😊😊
Would you not wear a body protector out crosscountry?!
You have to at competitions but just XC schooling it’s up to you whether you want to or not normally 😊
Stunnnnninnggggggg
She is like um excuse me these jumps are tiny
You live in THE (!) Hunting/eventing Nation.. why don‘t you do this More often!? 🤩
I can't do cross country now, cuz I'm too young so if I'll have time to, I'll learn jumping first. Want to be an eventer btw
Diva is chestnut
The other horse was brown
I come running
If my iPad makes a sound
Love the vid
( can anybody tell me the name of the other horse)
choco is the other horses name
Where abouts is this xc place I live in Victoria and would love to ride there
Mandurang South Pony Club :)
No one :
Not a single soul :
Me :that arena is bigger then my house 😱😱
i fell off onto the jump today
are you okay? that’s surprisingly never happened to me even though i’ve fallen off around 18 times😂
Larkyn Eventing I’m fine just some bruises luckily the horse didn’t jump i top of me
Hi! I really enjoy watching you ride, this sesion was amazing but please wear your safety vest every time you do cross country! I as a eventing rider had a hard time watching you jump without it. Good luck in your next eventing adventures :)
I don’t own one unfortunately but I would definitely invest in one if I were to keep doing cross country. Thank you ☺️
I like it
Nice 👍🏻
Why aren’t you wearing a vest?
