FIRST EVENT Pre Badminton | Highs & Lows @ Larkhill BE90
Вставка
- Опубліковано 30 вер 2024
- Join us as we finally get out of Eventing at Larkhill BE90, which could potentially be our only run before Badminton in 4 weeks time. It was great to be back out enjoying Evening with my Boy who thoroughly enjoyed himself, but I did sadly make a very costly mistake in the Showjumping, massively affecting our Result.

The thing I love about you Tina is how much you care which is a curse as well as a blessing. Learn from mistakes and move on wiser. You did great for first time out, especially after last year and on such a windy day. Banks is looking good - such a stud muffin - and isn't Lola a sweetie. Well done Tina, onward and upwards!
I love your honesty and humor. As a very ignorant hunter/jumper rider-why don’t so many three day event riders have their horses schooled for flying lead changes? Seems like it is time consuming and unbalanced without that piece.
What level of event rider are you referring to 🤣... I spent 3 years working for a 5* event rider going to events from BE100 up and people not able to do flying lead changes were a minority TBH
@@tamarafoxleyI am a hunter/jumper rider in the U.S., and I follow several of the lower level eventers here on UA-cam, like Tina, Meg, Lucy, and others in their group. I’ve watched Meg Elphick (Elphick Event Ponies) for several years before following some of the other ladies, and I ALWAYS wondered WHY she never taught her ponies/horses flying changes. I’ve never seen any of the others do flying changes in their horses either. So are they just the exception? I can’t imagine trying to jump a course without flying changes…. I do realize that the dressage tests in eventing at this level don’t require flying changes, and their show jumping classes seem to have a very generous T/A, so I guess they don’t care if it costs them extra time to have to do a simple change? But it still takes away from the rhythm and pace of the canter. Also, sometimes there ARE bending lines where they done have time to do a simple change before the next obstacle, so they end up counter cantering in to the second element, and don’t actually get a straight take-off. Not a big deal if it’s a single .90m vertical (“upright” for the Brits), but certainly problematic if you have a double combination, which requires straightness. Idk, it just seems like having a flying change would help prevent pulled rails, time faults, dicey approaches to jumps, etc. I realize that 4 or 5 British eventers don’t represent all of the lower level eventers (not a put down; just a fact that there is a huge difference between a .90 and a 5 star in everything from the MOST obvious- the fence heights-, as well as the level of technical questions posed in all 3 phases. Obviously a BE 90 dressage test isn’t going to require half pass or extended trot, and I don’t think I’ve ever seen a triple/aka “treble”combination in a BE 90 OR 100 SJ course. So I don’t mean “lower level” in a pejorative way). I just found it odd that none of the ones I watch have their horses trained to do them.
I agree 100%!!! Fellow hunter/jumper rider here. I honestly can’t imagine riding any kind of jumping course without being able to do flying changes! Obviously, if we did simple changes in our hunter courses, we wouldn’t place!😂 (Unless it was a very beginner class). But also, having to come down to the trot to change leads just disrupts the canter rhythm and pace, and makes it impossible to maintain the steady flow we want. I realize show jumping in eventing isn’t done for speed, and their T/A’s are generous enough to allow for simple changes (at least in these lower levels). But again, having to do a simple change is just so disruptive! I’ve also seen situations where they have had some dicey take off spots/jump angles due to say, being on a bending line and not having the space to do a simple change, so they end up coming to the second fence in an awkward counter canter, and often don’t get remotely close to being straight and centered over the second fence. I guess not super important if it’s a .90m vertical, but if you are doing a bending line to a combination, you NEED to be straight and centered!! I know this from firsthand experience - one of my show jumping classes had some technical lines and turns. There was one double combination set about 3-4 strides away from the arena railing on a diagonal. You had to turn off the rail at the EXACT moment to ensure you got in straight to the combination. I started my turn too early, and ended up coming in to the double on a bit too much angle. My mare jumped in beautifully, and -bless her heart- tried to jump the second fence. But I couldn’t get her straight enough during the one stride we had in between, and we ended up almost jumping the left standard on our way out. SMH…. We legit hit it, and took it out, but my angel still tried to jump out…😂. What a mess! Anyway, flying changes seem essential to me, and they usually aren’t difficult to teach most horses. Especially if you’re producing a youngster. So I have been bewildered about the lack of flying changes for years! 😂
Tina, Banks didn't even look out of puff aftercross country i'm so ready to sit and be an armchair eventer watching you and Meg at badminton 2024 ... at 51 i won't get there myself but like watching those that work so very hard year in and out to get there... And WELL DONE LOLA SHE WAS A GREAT GROOM AND CAMARA PERSON XX
Well done Tina. An epic first event of 2024. You both did brilliantly. Just a shame about the show jumping. Lola did a fantastic job, she’s very sweet too. Thanks xx
She's so fab isn't she!! Great for her to get a further insight into BE too before trying it for herself xx
When you said sj was bad on insta, I was expecting tons of rails. One silly stop from being bit underpowered and a little back and forth on terrain, I was like, that’s it? First event of the season done, now crack on!
Yea just so gutting to have SO Many time penalties making the end score disastrous!! More than 3/4 poles would have been!!xx
I've been watching you for years and you've improved so much, including your riding and your own ability to recover from problems. You didn't quit, you didn't get so upset that you upset Banksy more...excellent job.
Well done Tina - I have watched your progress from the beginning (from the All Star academy) and what an improvement!!
Loved Lola’s commentary 😀 and what a cracking little helper - I need a Lola 😊
Lola a ⭐️
I know a bit of a blip in SJ, but for your first event you and Banksy were epic! You will rock it at Badders. Lola is a brilliant groom and you can see she adores Banksy ❤🥰. Well done to you all 😊 xxx
👏👏👏👏 Dressage warm up when he gave you stretching walk on long rein I KNEW you were going to have a beautiful test. And indeed it was. Show jumping… I’ve never hit pause/rewind on video faster. I believe he just didn’t see first element of that double. 🤷♂️ but shocked we all were. Now here’s where I’m extremely proud of you… you didn’t let that big shock ruin rest of course. And then you headed straight out to XC probably with some unsure feelings. However… SMASHED that XC…🔥🔥👏👏 the water was amazing… never missed a stride/rhythm (don’t tell Cam I said you rode your water course better than his 🤣 although Cam aced it also but he had a wiggle balancing stride in there😂) 🤫🧡 Your down the step combination was so rhythmic. Well done. You should be pleased with that day. Lola was amazing support and help (so organized 🫡).. great groom fairy 🧚 enjoyed Pilates with Dinks 🧡
The love you have for Banks is so heartwarming. This is what being a horsey person is all about. Love you lots. 🤍
He's my world xx
Banks and you looked superb and Lola helped with that!! 😄 Please tell her she did EXCELLENT as videographer as well as groom!! 🥰🥰❤️ Nice snippet of Claudia and Monkey too 😄 VERY nice seeing even a small glimpse of Cam in action!!! ❤❤
Don't worry about the little mishap in the show jumping, it's disappointing that you could have been placed, but it was a great learning plan, dressage was excellent, show jumping was nearly excellent and cross country was epic as usual, plus you had a long journey which can be brain zapping, so be proud of you both and your lucky groom 🎉❤ xx
Well done Tina and Banks! Dressage really next level for you both. So excited to "tag along" on your journey to Badminton! 🤠🤠
Aaahhhh thank you so much xx
Can’t wait to see you at badminton 😊
It’s gonna be so much fun xx
@@LifeontheLeftRein are you doing any meet and greets whilst your there? I managed to meet Meg last year at the equine proformance stand would love to meet you this year x
having a rough day at work, thanks for always posting when i need a distraction!
Hope your day / eve gets better ~ thanks for watching xx
Miss the end? Impossible😅 Getting very fond of Mr Banks(lol), he is something! Oh...and a handsome fella to boot! Much respect to you both!
aawwww thank you so much xx
Well done both and to super groom, which does help loads and always watch till the end xx
Oh Lola was a star she helped so so much xx
I always stay to the very end. I love, love eventing! My grand daughters did eventing.
Thanks for the support xx
Lovely to see you both back out eventing. Well done for getting round. Such a shame but certainly still well ridden!
Great video Tina. You did a great job on your event. Excellent Dressage. It was all really good. Always watch til the very end. You're going to do great at Badminton.
Aaawwwww thank you!! Appreciate the support xx
The legend that is Banksy at his best! Super job from the dude and he certainly loves it! Epic dude ❤
He certainly enjoyed himself xx
Well done Tina and Banksy . Dont worry abt the SJ wobble -just ironing out the bugs. Great work from top groom and videographer Lola. Loved her little banter throughout and egging Banksy on in the XC. Bring on Badders 💜🙌🏻🐎
Her commentary was fab wasn't it!! and I loved her assistance she's fab bless her xx
What a good ole windy blustery day. Those bunny hops!!! Wind right up his tail! Can I just say Lola is just the BEST groom? She does amazing camera work too. Followed right along, good commentary voice, low and well modulated. I think those giant wings right up by the fence and spectators just startled Banksy, like Whoa, what’s that thing? Good riding in spite of that one hiccup. Lovely dressage. I thought the wind would be a spook factor, but it didn’t faze him at all. It was good to see Claudie on your vlog, she is an amazing young lady. Maybe a fun vlog collaboration in the future, Team Tina/Claudie vs Team Meg/Harlow? That would blow up the socials!
He’s so amazing!! You both looked great. That’s great draining chalk land for you. My dad used to live near lark hill. X
Yea the ground held up really well, I’m glad we went xx
You killed it 🎉 Don’t beat yourself up about show jumping!! You made a decision to keep you both safe in the footing ❤ Lots of us would’ve done the same 🥰 Can’t wait to see what’s next!!!
That’s very true and Alex agreed that it was self preservation coz he’s careful xx
Wow, whilst that may not have been the result you expected or deserved, can we just take a moment for that dressage🤯 bloody brilliant the pair of you and shows what hard work and determination can do, you should be so so proud🤩👏👏
Thank you I was delighted with the dressage, just wish I hadn't looked at score ahead SJ though!! I remember years ago when I got a 22.8 I didn't know my score until I had completed XC and it was a lovely surprise to find out we had had a PB and Won, if id known I was on that score prior to Sj I imagine id have fluffed up!!
@@LifeontheLeftReinWe always put so much pressure on ourselves dont we🙈 least you know you’ve got the dressage on point! Stay confident in yourself T, you’re a beautiful rider and a super partner for Banks, he trusts you, you just need to trust you too! Your jumping with Alex looks fab though so i know you’ve got this🙌xx
Fab video (as always) you were both brilliant I love that you're so natural and honest. Banksy is a Ledgend x. Lola is a lovely young lady very helpful and polite. Btw what colour are you're nails? I fortunately have natural long nails and have lots of nail varnish but not one like yours!. Lots of love to you all ❤🐴❤
So glad you had a great outing (scores aside) bc it’s the joy in Banksie’s stride and your face that is important - not the frilly!!
This is so very very true!!
I'm home from work and parked on the sofa and your video is playing on the TV. Looking forward to over an hour of Tina and Banksy.
Thanks for the support hope you enjoyed the vlog xx
Hi Tina, I love watching your vlogs and love Banks. I don’t know if you noticed but in the showjumping your bridle is over the top of the bit on the right hand side rather than under it. Is you look at 43:15 you can see. Maybe that is why he was a bit more fussy with his head than usual. Even with that he is just an epic pony I hope my baby ISH turns out like him!
Yes did notice that after I should have checked before but he did the dressage like it too 🙈 so was just excitement I think as was good as gold in the dressage xx
Oh the early mornings have begun!!😂 As much as I love Eventing I haven’t missed the very early starts 😂
I think the wavy fillers just got Banks for a split sec especially layered looking in a double -maybe a bit difficult to read ❤
Yea I think that too xx
Good ON YOU for going out training, AND eventing before badminton grass roots .TAKE care and all the best. 😊😊👍👍👍💟🐶🐶
Thanks!! I’m enjoying it all so much atm xx
Well done Tina and Banksy you were both amazing and working in unison a true partnership, and a great test before Badders. Please don’t judge yourself too harshly, you pushed yourself to go and you had a fantastic event, here’s to the next event! Xx
Thanks Claire xx
Badminton is gettin closer .i love watching your videos
It sure is!!
Woo hoo back out eventing! Well done & to Lola for being top groom 👏🏻
She was fab wasn’t she!!
Love all your videos from start to finish I feel like I’m there ( even though I’m on the other side of the world 😂) it’s like a day out with a friend, and Lola was fabulous. Your confidence shines through, you look like you are really enjoying every minute 🤩
Thank you really appreciate the support and kind words, Lola was an absolute superstar xx
I always watch to the end hun ❤well ridden well done top groom x
Aawwww thank you!! Lola was ace wasn’t she xx
when yours and megs i watch all the vlog i just pause to comment
Aaawwww thanks appreciate the support xx
Great job Tina and Banksy! Lovely dressage test, and great SJ except for that unfortunate blip! I know that must have been heart breaking, knowing you were on such a good dressage score. 😢. But cheers to you for soldiering on, and tackling the cross country course amazingly! Banksy looks gorgeous, as do you. You’re going to be great at Badders!! I can’t wait!
I have to say, as fun as eventing looks, I am grateful that I show Hunter/jumpers. If I mess up a course in a Hunter over fences class, I may not place in that class, and I’ll be out of the running for Champion or Reserve Champion in that division (we usually have 2 jumping classes and one flat class for each division, each division having different fence heights and eligibility requirements). I can just go do another division and potentially be champion in that one. Or I can also compete my show jumper in several different classes. So one “not-great” round doesn’t ruin my entire weekend or week of competition. That’s the nice part. We also compete different horses in the disciplines that suit them well. So my hunter doesn’t also have to excel in show jumping. Occasionally you can find a horse that can do all three styles, but most of them do best in one particular style. So I’m also grateful that I don’t have to train one horse to do three different disciplines equally well. But huge props to all of you eventing riders who do just that! I’d love to try eventing one day. Sadly, I don’t currently have a horse who could do all three phases. I’m also 47, so might be a bit old to get into the eventing world 😅
In the cross country warmup he made 90cm look easy peasy ❤
yea he felt fab over those which is why I only jumped 3 times, wasn't any need for his little leggies to do anymore than that before leaving the start box xx
@@LifeontheLeftRein awww bless him he is mega xx
Sometimes the more you talk, the more you get depressed, which was the case post show jumping. You were talking yourself into a funk. Thank goodness for your friends. Sometimes you just need to stop talking and RIDE. Which you did with cross country. Congratulations on dressage and cross country. You looked fabulous, as did your horse. Good luck at Badminton.
Hello Tina and Sir Banksy. I very much enjoyed watching this eventing Vlog, and I have watched until the end. Yourself and Sir Banksy are looking fantastic, and this event is a great run in preparation for Badminton. You are an inspiration 🙂 xx
He normally don't stop, so don't dwell with it at all!!! Part from that I will say you are right were you need to be!!! ❤❤ Really looking forward to Badminton!!! Love seeing Lola, Claudia and Cam. too!!!
Yea this is true ad I won't dwell, was just abit perplexed at the time xx
@@LifeontheLeftRein ❤️❤️❤️
Congratulations i thought you did amazing xx
Aaawww thanks Janet xx
You are both looking so good. ❤
Thanks I’m really pleased with his way of going atm xx
Well done Tina!! You did a super job x
Thank you appreciate the support xx
Aw Tina I loved this vlog, I think the extremely early get up and long drive makes it easier to put pressure on yourself and feel disappointment if things don’t all go 100% the way you thought they would, but you both looked absolutely fab on those clips- love your videos - you and Banks are both very lucky to have each other xx
So true!! The early starts & tiredness definitely heighten the old emotions too xx
So nice to see you both back out and loving life!
Thank you!! 😊
Always watch to the end 😊
Aaawwww thanks xx
I’ve said it before but I have to say it again! I love you Tina with that wonderful energi! You make my day ❤️
Wow, thank you, that means a lot xx
The way you have been talking about bad it was I was expecting heaps of stops. You did fabulous, don’t waste too much time over thinking. ❤
Thank you so much, I won't now xx
Well done Tina and Banksy. Where did you finish? Not that it matters as you both are getting into the swing again. Stay safe and healthy both of you. 😊
We ended up 19th x
Well done Tina!!! I hope you enjoyed your snacks haha
AAAAAaaaaaa Claudie's in your Vlog!!! Great to see two youtube favourites together!!! :)
Hope you enjoyed it, hopefully we will see her at some more events too xx
Amazing Tina and Sir Banksy. I’m hoping my daughter gets the confidence to start eventing.
thank you, it sure is a fun and challenging sport xx
Well done it's nice to see you both back out having fun again, I love following your vlogs and watch to the end 😊 have a fab season and enjoy badders ❤
Thanks so much! 😊 it felt really good to be back out of eventing, even though it was a long day. It was great to have fabulous support. Xx
Lola is a great commentator ❤ Well done Tina and Banksy
I think I pay attention to detail too much I just noticed how the “flash” on the micklem is fastened over the bit on was side and behind the bit of the other 😆 42:03
Well spotted!!
Claudiaaaaa!!!! I can't believe she's in this vlog!!
She’s such a sweetheart 💙
@@LifeontheLeftRein I really want to meet her one day!
He looked surprised at the jump perhaps he thought you were going right of the jump and suddenly realised he had to jump and was not going past it.
Yea potentially xx
Well done Tina and Banksy, you both did a great job don’t worry about the jumping it’s all going to workout great for you believe it. I’ll be rooting for you when the big day comes so stay positive sweet girl. Is Emily ok? Tfs🤗🏇🤗
Thank you! Yea I think so just super busy with work atm xx
Ok I miss Em on here x🤗
Well done Tina and handsome Banksy. You did really well with dressage and jumping. Shame about the stop but easy mistake with that filler. Don't dwell on it as you were both amazing 👏👏😊
So true, I think it just caught his eye sight out and we didn't have enough impulsion to then cleat it from so close xx
Yeah, a bit heartbreaking after that dressage. I get it. HOWEVER, the major takeaway for me is that you two look absolutely fantastic; you are riding beautifully and his is looking and moving amazingly well and he looks so happy. Love to see his cheeky side; so fun and cute! ...and you guys were really nailing those long spots!
Well done gal ❤
Thanks hunni xx
Whatever you've ben doing, continue doing it🎉🎉The best I've ever sen him in dressage, he's much more active in the rear end. He used to look a bit straight avd stiff in the hocks but that's not there anymore. I think he's aging backwards like Benjamin Button😂❤ So looking forward to Badminton. Also nice to see Cam in action on that lovely grey.
would you do a review of the PIVO automatic tracking device?
I've only heard bag things about them so don't really fancy investing in one purely to review it sadly xx
That was a great result. His dressage was epic but I felt the time faults in SJ were a bit harsh. You certainly weren't dawdling and the terrain was not very favorable, so the time limit must have been fast! Anyhow, lovely to see you and Banksy competing again. Roll on Badminton. Lola is wonderful too. ❤
Thank Goodness for Lola, what a great help and gorgeous soul to help you through the day. That was perfect preP always good to have a stop and get the nerves out the way before the big day, you just needed to get the rawness out and you will be fine for the next date BravO Banks and Tina 💜
You done bloody brilliant, you didn’t get out much at all last year, and your first event of the season. An amazing dressage. Well done!! Cannot wait to watch you at badminton!
Awesome to see you out eventing again, don't worry about the showjump wobble, looking at it I think you're right he struggled to read it as where you approached it there was no ground line for him to read a take off point, but you are willing to own that and not blame him,can't wait for you to get to Badminton amazing horse woman.
So excited for the badders vlogs! U guys are gonna be amazing 🥰
Just want to say thank u for all ur positivity as it really effects us in an amazing way❤️ sending lots of love xx
I wouldn’t have even ridden in my indoor with that wind! Incredible riding. ❤️
Hooray i was hoping for a vlog tonight 😊
Hope you enjoyed it!x
Think you need to give Lola permanent job as groom ❤️
What breed is Sir Banksy
He's Irish Sports Horse by The Artist
You did a super job 👏 absolutely awesome
You should be very proud
i made it to the end :D
Thanks for the support xx
Lovely well done xx
Thank you! 😊
Looked as though he was off the bridle towards the end. Bit more speed work prior to badders?
I asked him to be as we were nearly a minute too fast!! So after 13b we had to massively ease of the gas so as not to get any speedy time penalites!!!!!!
@@LifeontheLeftRein well then he's bang on target !!! Always known for his speed traits.
So good and fun to watch. Your chin strap on the right side was behind the bit. Didn't seem to matter.
I know... didn't realise til taking it off!!!
Great vlog as always, thank you! You two smashed it, wow a fantastic dressage score! 😮💗
Thanks so much! I was so chuffed with how he went in the Dressage xx
Absolutely fantastic! ❤
Thank you hunni hope you heal fast xx
First
What a great event! The dressage was amazing! The stop? I don’t know what happened. Banksy looked like he wasn’t fighting or worried, he just stopped. I feel like he surprised himself! Cross country was lovely!! Everything was wonderful and don’t worry about that stop! He never stops! It was a freak of nature! Thanks for sharing!
Yes I’ve erased it from my memory now 😉
Banksy is such a cool horse, Tina, so so keen and reliable. You are a lucky lady to have such a partner. Forget that and KICK ON! You've got this!!
Thank you I do feel incredibly lucky to call him mine xx
Great job for a first outing and a broken seal before badders. I'm just a dressage rider but if you made me do 3 phases I could see a benefit in just thinking like a professional, like things happen but I still need to finish this job regardless. IDK it's easy to armchair quarterback! Great recovery, on to the next! I also love Lola's commentary!
