Crich Tramway Endurance Ride - Vlog 222 - Beth Endurance

It was so nice to start the 2024 endurance season with a little outing to the Derbyshire groups social ride at Crich Tramway. Thank you as always to everyone who helped put on the ride and it always amazes me how many smiley helpers the Derbyshire group manage to muster out on course so that we didn't have to do a single gait!
Estrid has come on leaps and bounds in the last year but she still struggles when we ride out with Fluffy...I have no idea why as she doesn't do this with any other horse, but it's like she's moving with the handbrake on and she stops at the strangest things. By herself she's super forward and never stops, with other horses she doesn't like them along side and is tentative to overtake, but with Fluffy it's super hard to get her to overtake other horses on course and she just doesn't feel like she wants to go. So our 17km together was a little frustrating but it was still an excellent training ride with some good hills and everything is good venue practice.
I was hoping that as she's got so much more confident by herself and has so much more experience that she wouldn't be like that with Fluffy this season but it's like she reverts back, so we may have to avoid adventures with Izzy and Fluffy as I don't want her to learn to go in that way. Though I'm sure Tissy will be thrilled to hear that as it means she gets to go on all the adventures that we're taking Izzy and Fluffy on instead of having to share with Estrid.
Thanks for watching,
Beth

Congrats on the first ride of 2024! She marched through the water and past the diggers without a hitch. I can't wait to see what she's capable of by years end! Fluffy is such a cutey too!

What a fun ride with beautiful views! England has some of the best riding areas. In the USA, we call them burgers with whatever we get on them and we call them buns for the bread.

Oh and that would be a hamburger bun to me! Haha 🇺🇸
