Halfway through the video, and I just want to say that the way you ride and talk to and about these horses is amazing to see. Especially lately there has been so much cruelty on the front pages of horse sports, so I almost lost hope that I would ever find a professional high level rider who treats their horses fairly and well, like horses. There is little to no stress signals during the rides, the horses look visibly relaxed and like they're having fun in the ring. I cannot say this enough; your channel is a joy to me, and such a fresh take. Please keep showing your daily, even mundane life with these horses, I could watch these videos forever!
here here couldnt have said it better myself, we are very greatful that you are making time for these videos simon as it cant be easy but how you are with your horses really does need to be broadcasted around the world for everyone to see
So lovely to see someone of such a high level in the sport who genuinely loves and appreciates their horses. What a nice guy. So happy you've got a UA-cam channel now 🙂
I think UA-cam channels of professionals are not generally successful as people can’t relate to them like they can the amateurs, however I think Simon’s channel will do fab as he’s such a nice person & genuinely good to his horses 😊❤
The positivity, gentleness and care you show the horses is absolutely amazing to see!! ❤ especially in light of how much abuse and negativity the sport has seen lately.
You seem like the most genuinely lovely person. How lucky for all of us to have a glimpse into the world of a professional rider - especially one who is so kind to their horses. Would love to see more videos of you and the team.
Now I know why you say “Good morning Team” I love that you care so much for your girls because they allow you to do your job by doing their jobs! I could never see how anyone could take 7 horses! But your team makes it easy! I also love how much you talk to your horses and encourage them. I knew that already but love seeing it on show day! Wonderful vlog!
Never clicked on a video faster. I have to say Simon really makes me believe in horse sport again - happy horses with a marvellous, gentle rider who treats every horse with utmost care. Also just casually competing 7 horses 😅
Very much enjoyed being at the show with you and also how much you love the horses. The girls who help are brilliant, you are very lucky. Looking forward to your next video.Thank you.
Wat a day!!! 😅😅 Nine ridden, 7 showjumped..... A little tired is totally ok!!! Impressed with the girls as well!!! ❤❤ I'm curious about the result..... though I guess this is all about education?? All of them looked super!!! ❤❤
I have to agree with the comment about how calm the horses are with you riding. Every round was very low stress. It's a rare thing. You should be proud.
Your genuine love for the horses shines through. All the talent in the world by a rider or a horse isn’t enough. You have a partnership with each of the horses and look after their individuality. More vlogs please
Lovely to see how you treat your staff and horses! The horsey world can be so cruel at time but it’s great to see how much you respect and appreciate them ❤
My dog already loves your channel! He is a rescue who is terrified of men, but your 'Good boy' during the warm-ups had doggo looking around happily - your warmth and sincerity with your horses conveys over a video to a dog literally on the other side of the world! Your love for the horses you ride and your compassion for your students (when you teach) is great.
Wow!!! Riding 9 horses in one day!!! Love the way you talk to your horses, can't wait to the next video. Much respect to the crew, doing an amazing job, all horses looking fantastic ❤❤❤
Here from Canada 🇨🇦 been following Megan with her ponies. Honestly, your so fun and positive. I think the horse’s naturally can feel it. Looking forward to more videos! ❤
Hi Simon, I have seen you so many times with Meg and you are exactly the same. I love the way you are with your horses and your horsey voice is amazing and I love your cheeky giggle we get every now and then. So nice to see a true horseman with a love for his horses. Lots of love. Jill, Birmingham, England. XXXXXXX
I would've love to gave groomed for you the people I groomed for never showed any appreciation just worked me like a dog I only stayed because I loved the horses so much its so heart warming to see you looking after your team brilliant vlog and thankyou for showing us how it's done throughly enjoyed it I miss my horses and the days out in the wagon ❤
You’re just a ray of sunshine. Your yard is relaxed and the horses show it. Glorious. Just glorious. Ps I’ll take miracle if you ever need to off load him ! 😉
It's so great to see how calm and kind you are with the horses, and reflecting on your own performance in the voiceover for the round. So many riders focus on 'the horse did x, the horse was y' without thinking about what they were doing or what they need to do differently next time. Super refreshing to hear from riders who are fair to and positive about their horses :)
Wow 7 horses. No wonder you were feeling "a bit tired" towards the end of the day! You have a fabulous team and I love that you always give them credit for how they work so hard. Your kind, gentle attitude towards your horses is lovely and it's so refreshing to hear how you think of their comfort. I really do feel that what we see is what we get with you and there's no putting on any act for the cameras. I'm so happy that you decided to start a You Tube channel. I'm a follower of Lucy and Meg and I've always enjoyed your appearances in their vlogs. 💖
You just make me so freaking happy!! You exude joy and kindness and echoing so many other folks saying how happy I am you have your own channel. Wednesdays are exciting for me again!
I’m having such a rubbish sort of day but when I saw your notification I just smiled!! Simon please please keep this blogging thing going because you are so funny and sweet and your riding is just beautiful! At the age of 44 I think I have a crush 🙈😂
Simeeey! Tell us how you approach each horse differently and what it's like for you as a rider going through the motions of a day like this, keeping your focus, tuning into each horse. Must be quite the feat with the quick turn arounds! Would love to hear you chat about the practicalities of this ☺️ love your style!
I am so happy you finally made a channel can't wait to watch all of your vlogs. I also love how much you and your team work together and get along making this show day go beautifully.
Loving your vlogs, thank you so much for filming and taking us along with you! So lovely to see such a kind, quiet true horseman too. Your horses look so relaxed and happy to do their jobs for you 😊
Thank so much for this brilliant vlog. I ride but I don't compete so it was really interesting to hear how you incorporate training into the rounds, and it was lovely to see your bond with all the horses.
Enjoyed watching your show and how it is a lifestyle working hard with horses. I have grown up showing in America and it is hard to explain my lifestyle to non-horse people. I learned a lot watching, thank you for sharing your life with us.
Love the channel. Really great to see behind the scenes with a professional and your thought process. All the horses are so calm and look like they are having a great time. One request: RESULTS. Would love to know how they all finished. Looking forward to seeing eventing season!
I love how you speak to and for the horses you ride, it makes me giggle. Great rides today Simon! Congratulations. Ps, I love your laugh, you’re such a lovely soul.
Love the way you chatter to the horses and indeed everyone! Your girls are obviously amazing at their jobs. They must be very experienced. Great vlog. ❤
Hi ALL, this takes my back to when I was a groom ,we USD to go to stoneleigh park show jumping on a Friday night .AND also thay had dressage in the wintertime . 3 horses one rider and one groom but we seemed to mange . So good to see you all out doing something different from just eventing . Thank you for sharing all you do . And a big thank you to ALL that help you OUT . 👍👍😊😊😄😄😄
Wonderful video! Taking 7 horses around and riding each like it's the first . I was exhausted after the first 4 (sitting in my recliner with my feet up and a mug of tea). Gertie is stunningly beautiful and Splash is a fun jumper. Great content and so excited for your channel.
Watching you ride is a pleasure, I love seeing how you and your horses relate to each other. I learn so much from watching you, especially how you present your horses, the balance and the steadyness during your showjumping rounds and how everything is calm and patient. It's so lovely seeing your horses wanting to work with you.
As the season starts and year goes on, it might become more challenging to keep up the vlogging. But try to because I think this could be very lucrative in terms if sponsorships, clinics etc, etc. Stylistically very different but very accessible and entertaining - you've got the ingredients here for a winning formula.

Absolutely- Simon is not only fab to watch, but I so admire his attitude towards both horses & humans. I especially love his sense of humour❤

I love the voices Simon gives his horses.
Seeing multiple horses piloted by the same rider in the same class is really educational. Thanks!
I love your talking to horses while you’re riding! You are so kind and sweet and all of horses seem to be so happy!
Watching this has given me so much motivation to get to a show!!! All looking amazing. 🎉
Simon, you are the most fabulous person. Such a happy, kind, genuine soul. Your horses are lucky to have you!!
I like the format of these Simon, 20 mins is the perfect length! Also like how you've showed us everything but in a really succinct snappy way. ❤
The emojis after all of your cackles made my day. Great vid!
That was cool, you made it look easy which is always a sign of a true pro. Everyone ao friendly.
What a fab bunch of horses ! Splash is such a dude, love him! You can tell you’ve been to war together eventing, what a partnership you two have ❤
Simon you are amazing and love how you chat to the hoses and staff. Wonderful xx
It's so great to see how calm and kind you are with the horses, and reflecting on your own performance in the voiceover for the round.
