MELTDOWN AT 4* | ZEB GOES BACKWARDS AND SURPRISE POSITION! || VLOG 48

- Опубліковано 29 вер 2024
- My first 4* with Zeb since our fall at Bicton and we completed!!! It wasn’t our best day and we did have a bit of a meltdown however we completed which is the main thing!!! I was very very nervous as you can imagine for the XC which didn’t help the Dressage or SJ! But Zeb was epic as usual and helped me out round the XC course and you definitely wouldn’t have known he had had a fall as he felt great!!
It was so good to get back out there and finish our event season on a high 🎉🎉
So I hope you enjoy the vlog and please like, comment and subscribe as I really appreciate it 🥰

Guys we have MERCH!!! 😍😍 Check it out below! I am so excited!!

I love that even though he was difficult and you were upset after dressage, you still gave him a pat when you finished! We’ve all been there when things don’t go to plan and it’s so hard when we put so much money and time into them for them to just say no on the day. What an absolute star he is cross country, he makes it look like a walk in the park! He’s such a talented boy, if you could get the dressage sorted you’d both be unstoppable. I admire both your riding and your attitude to turn it around from feeling so disappointed to get back out there and ride positive in the jumping; I would still have been miserable so I need to learn your mindset! X
👍👍😊
Aww I got emotional for you. Your so amazing and rode through that so well. I can't jump 50cm so your jumping is always amazing to me and wow what a XC round xxx
Thanks for the support 🙏👍😊
Well done both of you for completing this as it must have been a little nervy to start. Glad u got through the x country well. Mr Zebedee certainly had it about him in dressage but redeemed himself in the end xxx
He certainly did 👍😊
Well done returning to 4*, what a team! You made the cross country look easy 👏👏🤗
Thanks 🙏😊
Great to see you guys out and about at 4* again!! I think Zeb needs a winter of pure dressage, lots and lots and lots of boring dressage shows, so he'll see there's no need to do them backwards... silly Zebbie.
I understand you're frustrated, I've never done that high level, but I did the highest pony FEI tests on my dressage pony and she would do everything perfect at home, but when we got to competitions and she would get super tense in the canter transitions, especially the walk to counter canter, even if she was super strong in counter canter and had no problem doing tiny circles... she would also get tense in the backing up. It was super frustrating, because I took her up the levels myself, like you and Zeb, only higher of course.
He never gets tense at a pure dressage show because he knows there’s no XC 😱🤷🏻♀️😊
@@ashleyharrisoneventing if he was younger, maybe it'd be worth it to gonto events and just do the dressage. Shame he ruins it for himself.
You guys are incredible!
Aww thanks 🙏😊
@@ashleyharrisoneventing of course! I watch all of your videos and you are such an inspiration for me. I’m currently leasing a young horse and it’s not always easy. Thank you so much for sharing both the lows and your highs! It means a lot!
I love your vids
Thanks 🙏😊
Maybe he would be happier at three star!
😊😊
Adored the honesty and raw footage in this vlog and although it may not have been the day you planned at least you flew around XC 🙌🏼💪🏼🤗 Super stuff ❤️
Thanks 🙏🥰
Hey Ashley
Well done for keeping going 👍👍😊
Don't give up...everybody falls.
..plus the horse has a mind of her own.
I highly doubt it is but is the dressage saddle causing him pain? Not meant to be rude xx
No he can just play up sometimes when he is over excited
@@ashleyharrisoneventing oh ok very sorry x
Bravo on the XC, and hope that put many demons to rest. Love the way you regrouped after dressage and stayed positive for SJ & XC. Congrats on a great ride!
The horse looks like he's in pain in his mouth.
Thanks 🙏😊😊
@@sharonburgess9488 y would u think that
So happy you nailed this 4*! Yeah he was pissy for dressage… boys are dumb! Hahaha! The winter break will do you both a world of good. I can’t wait for next season!!
🤣🤣so true 😊
You are so sweet Ashley and you ride so well. Zeb is a great horse but not every day is the same. Don't be sad. We don't know when they might have a headache or are a little tired. You rock❤ greetings from Germany
Thanks 🙏🥰🥰
This is the first video of yours that I watched. Love the content , style and editing. Love the fact that you took your little setback in stride. Life happens!
Glad you liked it 👍🙏😊
I press like on this video before even starting to watch it. You guys are so much fun to watch and the editing is so good!
Aww thanks 🙏😊
Your yard is so immaculate! When I started watching your videos I thought Zeb was perfect. Since then I’ve learned he has a cheeky personality, doing things like his dressage trauma drama or occasionally biting someone. What a character.
👍👍😊
I love your captions they make me laugh 😆
Zeb is such a character despite his little antics sometimes, he is so bold x-country. Good job 👍
Love him 💕💕
Great your back at 4*! But I would like to give you a advice I keep hearing you say sinds the fall this sinds the fall that. And I know as a rider how it is to have had a bad fall. But try to leave the indecent behind and focus on the now and not on what happend. Good luck!
👍😊
Very well done Ashley and Zeb he’s absolutely beautiful shame about the dressage bit but blimey he loves his jumping well team great work. Looking forward to seeing you all during the winter events.tfs😎🐎😎
👍👍😊
Why do i get anxiety from such huge jumps? I could neveeerrr🥶🥶🥶 and in rain, noooo
🙈🙈😊
Big Hugs Ashley !!
Been there myself - like you said just remind yourself what Zeb is great at and don’t beat yourself up !!
🥰🥰
So glad to see you back at 4*! You are amazing honestly❤️
Thanks 🙏🥰
Poor you Unfortunately you never know in which mind set Zebedee is in He truly has a dislike for dressage Its disappointing for you as you know the other two disciplines he flysheet through He is a Jackal and Hyde character during dressage However disappointing you feel at the beginning feel proud of the overhaul outcome You did well girl 👧 ❤
Thanks 🙏😊
Congratulations! I wonder if some dressage schooling shows might help Zeb work through some of the tension he has with that phase. Much less pressure and lower entries fees for sure.
Trouble is he is so clever he knows he is not at an event so never gets tense at pure dressage shows 🤣🤣👍😊
He’s 18!
Omg, those jumps are huge. So glad for dressage. I feel your pain in regards to your dressage tests, my last show my mare spooked at poop and I couldn’t get her back. I too cried afterwards.
Horses! And we love them anyway. Oh well.
🥰🥰
Zeb is so like my old advanced horse - stacks of ability and an amazing knack of boiling over in the dressage 😂🤦♀️. Looks the same too.
🥰🥰
Watching you two xc is always just beyond amazing. You fly! And I completely forget that Zeb is not indeed a youngling. Now that you got this one of of the way, I'm sure you'll get dressage and sj back under control, no problem. :)
Thanks 🙏😊
Well done Ashley. So pleased your cross country went well (-: Marion X
Thanks 🙏😊
Hey you might not have been the best day but look at him flying round a 4* cross country like it’s nothing x
👍👍😊
I kept getting confused about the music because it reminded me of something and then in the last clip I remembered that the squid game music sounds really similar to it hahaha love ur vids their so inspiring and I wish you all the best in the future ❤️
Thanks 🙏🥰
I think zeb says mum let’s just go cross country
🤣🤣👍😊
Great job Ash I have bad days all of the time. We will get through it!💕 Fab 4*!!!🤠❤️🐴🐴🐴
👍👍🥰
Your Mum is right quoting GOOD LORD!!!!! :) Well Done and most importantly your both finish safely! x
👍👍😊
I cried when you cried but bloody well ridden !! Very good job xxxxxx
Thanks 🙏😊😊
What a positive end to a difficult start! Zeb obviously loves the XC and maybe he was picking up on your nerves in the dressage? Subconsiously you may have changed the way you ride slightly, as you said, you know each other inside out. You have completed your first 4* since that horrific fall and now you can move onwards and upwards
👍👍😊
This horse is not built to be good in dressage and he’s also 18.... it is what it is, that ship has sailed
@@unicorn_6932 you never know. yes, he isnt built for dressage but just because he is 18, doesnt make him past his prime and obviously Ashley still feels he is capable. Try to be encouraging rather than bring others down :)
@@gem1718 you’re right, 100%, I guess I just forgot this was UA-cam and not reality.. :-)
He did so well, he was clear in the last jumping and honestly looked so good❤️🤍💙🇺🇸👍👍🐴
Thanks 🙏😊😊
Love the editing of the XC!! Really nice to watch! Well done Ashley, great job!!
Thanks 🙏😊
i have subscribed since 300 subs 🐴🐎♥️😻😁⭐️❥✨
Thanks 🙏🥰
@@ashleyharrisoneventing :)
Hello! I was just wondering if you've ever done 5*?
Not yet-working towards it 👍😊
I just discoverd your channel, and I subscribed , I can't wait to wach your videos! Also your dad is iconic and funny
Thanks 🙏😊😊
I’m sorry Ashley, you’re amazing teammates; and just watching it’s obvious how in tune Zeb is too you, his ears are constantly flickering backwards towards you listening too you…and he’s such a sensitive soul…maybe during the dressage test (just maybe) your tension increased more so than usual and that affected Zeb’s reaction (backing up behavior)…just a thought 💭…anyway, your cross country was stellar as always❣️❣️❣️ Love You and Zeb 💓
😊😊
Well done for braving the crosscountry! Looked like you had a great time, maybe Zeb picked up on your nerves about cross country in the dressage!
Maybe 🤔😊😊
You are such a good rider and Zeb is amazing. Typical thoroughbred going backward 🙈. But the xc looked amazing!
Hopefully we get to see your dad jump again soon 😁👌
👍👍😊
He just eats up XC doesn’t he! Made those massive jumps look so easy!
He’ll get there with dressage, let’s be honest it’s no one’s favourite phase 😂
So true 🤣👍😊
14!! BravO BIG Course All 4 one and 1 Four All makes the upright 5 Star .. Brilliant you kept your head high and rode beautifully, Tenderness and forgiving Forward and soft energy and he will just relax in the dressage and show jumping... Mum and Dad are such great support and mentoring well done team and Zebadee is so special Love xx
👍👍🥰
Ashley my horse is more chekey beacause show jumping he stops and walks backwards the gose back again
😱😱
Being the age that he is, the way he basically loads himself and even jumping a 4* course with ease, he truly is a magnificent horse. The pure energy in everything is mind blowing. I do see the true bond that you have with him is something that is cherished in so many ways. You both are awesome!!! Its not just a horse and rider, but a rather brilliant partnership that will have its ups and downs and still have that at the end of the day!!! Really something to be proud of and inspired to the rest of the equestrian community. Lets also not forget the support that comes with it from your partner, mom and dad, and also the dog *which name I cant remember now*. We support you and really do love watching your videos all the way!!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thanks 🙏🥰🥰
Well done especially you, you recovered brilliantly from a horrid start, but think positive you are getting your confidence back, your dad is moving up the regal standings from Baron boom and go to the Prince of Positivity (despite them new boots). Have you thought of sending Zeb to someone like Michael Eilberg to see if he can bottom the dressage issues, seems to me he is too good a horse at the other two phases to give up on him quite yet and sort the dressage phase out and you will be flying xxx
Definitely not giving up on him, he is a great horse 👍👍🥰
Ashley your Vlog is great I don’t have much time to watch such things but I can’t help check in with you
I used to event but hung up my boots professionally 8 years ago and gave up xc totally 4 years ago I miss it but just not as sharp as I used to be
🥰🥰
Well done ashley , I definitely think that dressarge practice will help. Maybe he was a bit overwhelmed a little bit because it is his first 4 star since your fall. I wouldn't worry you still did well. Its not about winning!
Keep persevering Ashley!
😊😊
Ears pricked the entire way around, he loves cross country! Super job!
He absolutely adores it 👍👍😊
Well done Ashley!! You did a brilliant job, even tho Zeb flipped his lid a bit in dressage, you still managed to get him back and finish your test!
Considering your nerves which was understandable, you rode a cracking round x-country, so very well done. To finish 14th after the hiccups was a really good result, so I hope you were proud of yourself hun!! Take care and looking forward to your next vlog 😘❤
Thanks 🙏🥰
Ouffff those cross-country jumps are so scary looking! I’m sure you saw the crab on Facebook! The guts rider and horse must have is insane! It may not be the best round (well, IMO you did so good) but thank you so much for keeping it real. You’re very inspirational and I enjoyed your blog very much
Thanks 🙏😊
EHZ,NSDC every day i check if u have posed, love ur vids and i wish i got to meet u but i was at school :(
🥰🥰
Loved it! Thank you for sharing!
👍😊😊
Once I was watching international dressage and the horse refused to go to one end of the dressage arena.
😱😱
Well done Zeb and well done Ashley. (Try not to be too hard on yourself. ;) )
Thanks 🙏😊
Well-done! Foot perfect xc! 😀😀
👍👍😊
I love your honesty, courage, and heart. Well done.
Thanks 🙏😊
I know the dressage bit was disappointing but honestly the way he made that massive xc track look so easy I would forgive him every time 🙈 some horses can nail the dressage bit but can’t fly round like him! He is just a xc machine and you rode him amazingly ❤️ isn’t he just mega 😩 The way he looks for the flags, he’s just awesome and you are! So well done xxx ( I can eat my lunch now because I had to stop for the xc bit because I was so nervous 😂😂) xxx
🤣👍👍🥰
That’s truely amazing, your truly a role model getting back on and doing so well after your fall! That’s amazing 🤩
Thanks 🙏😊
What a fabulous fabulous xc round Ashley xx
Thanks 🙏😊😊
💖👏 ok so I was in tears watching this but not bc of dressage but bc you went out there and ate up that course!!so proud of you 2!!!! Getting the job done no matter what!! Personally I share his opinions about dressage! 😂😂 Dads commentary is spot on pers usual! Grateful you had a great wrap up to the season, HUGE HUGS to you and your team! Kisses for the main man😍💖😘
Aww thanks 🙏🥰🥰
I love how u show the highs and the lows of eventing and i honestly feel for u when he dose that and i know how if feels when u put so much work in to them and then it gose wrong
Thanks 🙏😊
So happy the cross country went so well. You really do make it look easy. I can't even get around a 70cm 😔.
Well done x
Thanks 🙏 😊
I love your videos your such a amazing riding
Thanks 🙏😊
Well done on your first 4* back!!
You and Zeb made the XC look super esay❤
Thanks 🙏😊
Brilliant vlog. The difficult time just make the good times seem even better and it was a good day over all! Love the Zeb captions they’re hilarious and your dad is brilliant. Love the new shoes 🤣
🤣🤣👍😊
Well done Ashley! It might not have been what you expected but you handled everything very well! ❤️🌟 It is AMAZING to compete at this lvl on its own!! 🌟🌟
Thanks 🙏 😊
You did sooooo well and all 9.79k are rooting for you Ashley
Note for zeb:there was nooooo reason to be an a hole
👍👍thanks 🙏😊
"I'm already in the zone Grandma" I laughed so loudly I scared the dogs ... cross country was amazing to watch - so great to see you back :)
Thanks 🙏😊
So so so proud of you, dressage right now who cares... the XCountry was the nemesis to overcome and YOU DID IT AMD IN STYLE!!! WELL DONE GIRL!!
Thanks 🙏😊
Awe. Zeb is beautiful. I love it how you show you're ups and downs. Bless you.. I'll be watching more. Thanks for sharing x
👍👍😊
I am an eventing volunteer. This year will be my sixth year. I love this sport ! I do have a horse & he is in training. This was a really great vlog..so I just subscribed !... This is not an easy sport to do. The horse has a mind of his own. Refusals, RF, Elimination, injuries, bad weather are all part of it...nicely done. You keep competing & I will keep watching !
👍👍😊
Dearest Ashley, you have gotten over literally and figuratively so many obstacles, yet you keep cracking on. You're a testament to us all as you just stay positive (as your dad says) and just keep riding forward.
I have a question, though: I know you know Zebedee a million times better than I, but could his dressage saddle be a bit too far back? I noticed to me that it seemed to be girthed quite a bit far back, and though yes, you want shoulder clearance, I wonder if it's pinching him somewhere?
Again, you know your pony, and I'm sure you get it regularly fitted. It was just a wee question.
Much luck to you as you continue your eventing journey. ❤️
Thanks 🙏 I do have an excellent saddle fitter 👍👍😊
I just wanted to comment on how brave you are to do 4*. Most I ever did was schooling for Prelim and had some crashes and that was that! Settled into just dressage but I always missed xc. Even thinking about 4* was way out of my league. I truly admire anyone who makes those really hard fences look easy--you and Zeb rock on!!
🥰🥰
You had the elephant in the room after your fall but you both had the courage to show him the door. Well done! Maybe the filming angle, but he didn't look comfortable through his hind leg in the dressage - it's probably just my imagination 🙄. Congratulations for the text book cross country. 🤩🤩
😊😊
Youn totally smashed the xc. As far as the dressage and sj, my old instructor would say "transitions, transitions, transitions". He's a very long horse and I imagine the rails come when he gets a bit flat. However, you guys were awesome!!!
Thanks 🙏👍😊
Lord I no ur frustration u try ur hardest work ur bum off and it doesn't pull off...! So bloody annoying what doesn't kill ya makes ya stronger 🤞🤞🤞
So true 🤣🤣👍😊
Listen : it’s okay to have fails. It’s okay to walk to the trailer tie up your horse and cry. But it’s not okay to give up. You’ll make it through I’ve had friends who thought they could never do it I thought I would never do it but I did and my friends did too. You learn from your mistakes. You can’t be perfect at everything but you can try hard and make that your perfect. Yes you messed up but it’s okay. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve hit barrels or pulled my horse up and fell in between the cracks and lost money. Just believe in yourself and you can do it. You can get him trained and get him to be better but it takes time. Remember we are here for you.
👍👍😊
who knows what the combination is. We had one horse that was always great in the warm-up so we stopped doing warm-up under saddle and lunged a bit then got on and went in the ring, he did much better. Also, I am in Canada and in the province of Ontario we have an absolute miracle vet that does Eastern / western / voodoo medicine and is sought after by Olympic riders from all over the world; She is forever being flown somewhere in the world to work on top-level horses. she works regularly on mine and it is phenomenal results. she defies description, she is just astounding. such a gift.
Amazing 👍😊
First time watching your channel and before 2 minutes of the video has gone I’m already impressed! Self loading horse 🤩
👍👍😊
I've seen you say he can be an ass in dressage but this is the first time I've seen him actually lose it. I didn't know he had it in him as every video his dressage has been well mannered until this one.
I think I would have cried also as he just wouldn't settle.
Horses!! 🤷🏻♀️😊
You are amazing no matter what happens!!
Thanks 🙏😊
My 3* horse fractured his food and will have time off over the winter - I’m keeping myself positive seeing you getting back out there! Fantastic job as always! Hope I get to see you compete in the UK one day 💜
Stay positive 👍👍😊
I love that you show your fails and bad moments with your wonderful horses
👍👍🥰
I was thinking that you could do a comparison GoPro xx
👍😊
He looked so pleased with himself throughout that entic XC trip!! What a horse. You’ll get the dressage and show jumping over the winter, he was just eager to redeem himself!! Get some rest and good luck training 💕🥳
Thanks 🙏😊
You and Zeb are awesome.❤❤❤
Thanks 🙏🥰
Don’t give up Ashley we all believe in you and know your amazing ❤️
Thanks 🙏😊
@@ashleyharrisoneventing ☺️
You both made the cross country look easy😀🐴👍
😊😊
He’s a xc machine. He ate what was a very very tight technical big course and made it look like a novice course. You pecked after that huge trakhener but my goodness what an animal. He must feel amazing being onboard. He just makes it look easy. Well done. I think if he ever retires he’d enjoy the grand national !
🤣🤣👍🥰
Very proud of you Ashley! ❤️🙏🏻
Thanks 🙏🥰
Early I love your videos
Thanks 🙏😊
You guys are amazing, well done!
Thanks 🙏😊
Loved the vlog and the music, I was exhausted just watching the XC, those fences were big, love your honesty, looking forward to your next vlog.
Thanks 🙏😊
What an inspiration!! Well done!! Made the cross country look about 2’6!! What a legend!! Well done xx
Thanks 🙏🥰
Loved your Vlogg !! The main man has Thoroughtwat in him so once in a while he will be a twat !! Its an art not to get upset with the Thoroughbred moments. I am still learning there is no reason for the moments which are so frustrating as you know and how not to over react to them .... Cross country was amazing he was saying sorry mum!! To come 14th just shows you were not alone with problems.. Well done ...
So true 👍👍😊
