So as someone that has followed you for a long time, especially on Instagram, I honestly am so blown away by how mature Milo is about being taken away from home. You guys are such a good example of how patience and consistency will pay off. I also hope people notice that you are constantly evolving your tack and gear to make Milo as comfortable as possible. Thanks Shelby! Keep it up!
Emily Copley same! I need to full seat at least three strides before each jump because I use my seat a lot, and I am now use to it. Also I use to ride a horse that will stop before the jump usually, and I will impulse him to jump with a deep seat before the jump
I was taught to full seat up to my jumps also and found it saved me more than once. Just safer and a much better feel. He likes those bigger jumps doesn't he?? You both look great!! Safe rides always and stay healthy. Big hugs.🤗
Here it's never really seen to do anything but full seat... We are taught to always stay behind the horse until they actually jump up. I do feel like sometimes this causes riders to fall behind, but then again we are taught to let go of the reins if we do get behind. It's fun to see others get taught differently
I love seeing what tack you use and why! I just bought a D ring Ecopure bit with a peanut, per your recommendation for the mouthpiece, and I'm excited to receive it!
It's honestly so nice to watch you ride and hear you comment on it as well, I can always take something away from your videos and apply parts of it to my own riding, I love that! Hope you stay healthy!
I like the new intro!! Milo really does look good in green and I cannot help but laugh when he kicks-out after a jump! Wouldn't be as funny if it was happening to me!
Milo's looking great in green! It's my favorite color besides light blue. You are doing great with all your horses by the way! And I know many people have already wished this, but stay safe during the pandemic! =)
Love the new intro! I was wondering is there any possibility you could do a video on working on the proper two point position over the jump? Like what’s ok to do and what’s not and how to correctly to release over jumps etc.
Nicely done, Shelby. Love the saddle. I’ll try to keep up with your videos, though it seems that every subscription I belong to is cranking them out faster than I can watch them! Too much time at the computer, I guess. 💜🦋
I get so confused by Hunter classes. Im from GErmany and I believe they are becoming a thing here too, but normally at our shows we only have dressage and show jumping (at least at smaller locations) and I always got tought to sit completely in the saddle in the last strides before a jump. But my mare also was quite an enthusiastic (but unsure) horse, so she got quite fast before a jump but also needed the reassurement that she was able to take this jump. So if I would be in a half seat leading up to a jump she would just get faster but also then stop before the jump because I didnt encourage her enough. Basically I needed to get her to collect her canter a little and have her know that I believe in her. She was such an amazing horse...
I personally hate riding in half seat. I feel more in control in full seat. I do warm up canter my mare in half seat to let her stretch her back but never in a jump course.
I love that you’ve explained everything really informative and helpful. And that I can see you fully tacking him up not just bits and pieces. I’m looking at getting my first horse could you do an essentials you need video ❤️
I'm not Shelby, but I can help I believe! I have a solution of sugar water in a spray bottle, and I spray it on the bit right before I put it in the horse's mouth. They soon associate the sweet taste with the bit and will grow to love it. My horse practically eats his bit now lol
What’s some good ways to relax more in English?? I’m mainly a barrel racer and other speed events person but I do enjoy English. With western the term “melt like an ice cream cone is easy because I can really tuck and loosen up my legs. But for English my trainer always had me with short stirrup leathers and heels cranked down, and mold yourself to the horse by holding. Maybe I’m not strong enough yet but I find it so difficult to do it unless I have longer leathers. So tl;dr, how can I relax under hunter/jumper circumstances??
Have you got good riding boots? If there not proper it will hurt to have them down properly but if you get some good Flexi ones it will be easier. Just keep thinking every 5-10 minutes, are my heels down?
Heels down really isn’t an issue to focus on. People become so wrapped up in the aesthetics of it and then it loses function. You just want weight in your heels to help support your hip and leg and absorb shock but beyond that it really doesn’t matter and when people have them so far down the heel hyperflexes, it loses function
Gecko Lord 24/7 turnout is always going to be more natural/ healthier for the horse if you have an option. If I ever had to board again, I wouldn’t board anywhere where my horses would be in a stall with no free access to a paddock. Field with a shelter is much more preferable and I wouldn’t board anywhere long term that doesn’t do group turnout and have turnouts big enough for the horses to run in.
That looks so fun! Your tack is gorgeous!! But I have 2 things to annoy you with: 1. Why do people clip their horses and leave patches? And why are the patches different? 2. Do you do anything when you are about to jump to let the horse know when to jump? Stay safe and healthy!! :D
Hi! I can answer your first question. There are different types of clips to do different things. In some cases someone may clip the whole body except the underside of the neck and the chest (called a bib clip) to prevent sweat buildup, and in other cases someone may clip all but the legs because the thick hair protects the legs from cuts. There's many different types of clips. Does that answer your question? Ha ha have a great day!
i love your vids! im trying to get my parents to get me a jumping mare she is a 16hh warmblood quarter arab cross she is 8 yo she jumpes 1.20m but she can get as high as 1.45m and maybe even more! i already have one horse his name is star he is a 9yo quarter arab paint cross, he is 15hh and we jump up to 1.10 but that is as high as he goes! so i want another horse to take me up the levels and really help me reach high level riding shows! i have never shown star and i don't think he is up for it... that is why i wanna get that mare...

''He is trying to get the last couple of tastes because he is a fat boy''
That genuinely made me laugh
she sounded like seri when saying this 😂

Tori LeBlanc thank you so much for the positive feedback😊
Something to watch while I draw. I love the new intro 🥺
Are you still anti bit? I have come across old comments from you hating on bits, just curious if you have changed your opinion on bits.
I full seat most of the time as well for the same reasons! I was taught to "rock back" in the tack because my horse sometimes will refuse jumps
Emily Copley same! I need to full seat at least three strides before each jump because I use my seat a lot, and I am now use to it. Also I use to ride a horse that will stop before the jump usually, and I will impulse him to jump with a deep seat before the jump
Yeah I never really ride in light seat for the same reason as you.
I was taught to full seat up to my jumps also and found it saved me more than once. Just safer and a much better feel. He likes those bigger jumps doesn't he?? You both look great!! Safe rides always and stay healthy. Big hugs.🤗
Jennifer Hodell thanks Jennifer! I hope you’re doing well.
@@Milestone-Equestrianhoping you are also!! All good here!! 🏇🏇
That saddle pad looks amazing on him! I love the video so much fun to watch ❤
Love the intro! I would love to see a warm up routine!!
I absolutely love your videos Shelby, and you are doing so good with Milo.

Ive never been so early! I just wanna say I love your channel and you've help you grow as a rider with milos journey and your training methods
Willow stonesea thank you😊
Love these kinds of videos! Great video, Shelby, as always ❤️
Love the new intro Shelby, Milo’s looking great!
I love watching your videos. He grew up to be a beautiful horse.
I like the new intro!! Milo really does look good in green and I cannot help but laugh when he kicks-out after a jump! Wouldn't be as funny if it was happening to me!
I love the new intro but I do miss hearing no roots at the start of every video!
I agree :)

I love the new intro :) I’m glad you like the Leveza girth, I wasn’t sure about it, but Maybe I’ll give it a try now ;)
Love the new intro
It’s so cool seeing how far milo has come 🙂🙂
Nicely done, Shelby. Love the saddle. I’ll try to keep up with your videos, though it seems that every subscription I belong to is cranking them out faster than I can watch them! Too much time at the computer, I guess. 💜🦋

Gotta love a new Milo video. he's looking pretty good there for the most part.
I love that you’ve explained everything really informative and helpful. And that I can see you fully tacking him up not just bits and pieces. I’m looking at getting my first horse could you do an essentials you need video ❤️
If it’s ever possible I’d love for you to make a video on how you bridle young horses! And how you get them to open their mouth for the bit, etc :)
I'm not Shelby, but I can help I believe! I have a solution of sugar water in a spray bottle, and I spray it on the bit right before I put it in the horse's mouth. They soon associate the sweet taste with the bit and will grow to love it. My horse practically eats his bit now lol
love you so much 💛
Nice video ! I also sit I find my position approaching is better and I used to ride a pony who refuses a lot so sitting was better
So amazing!
Wishing you and your family Many Blessings for continued good Heatlth during COVID 19. From Ontario Canada, Jenn.
Jennifer Lehman thank you💗 All the best to you and your loved ones as well!
Omg yay I love you so much
Shelby
I see you run those bandages like I learned at the racetrack, nice job.
Ahh I love the new intro
I've never had issues with my tech stirrups scratching my saddle, although I run them up in a special way to prevent scratching.
you are such a good rider and i hope that I can ride like you some day:)))))))
do you go on hacks with your horses? if you do, a go pro video would be super cool! love this video 💗
Shermanian #3 I do but won’t be for a little while now unfortunately because of the pandemic :(
Love your channel, Milo is so pretty😍
i have to half seat at the beginning for his back but then i full seat when we get to the higher jumps

I love your new saddle! Do you still have your other Amerigo saddle or did you sell it?
KJ Equestrian thank you so much! The other saddle was a trial saddle from Amerigo that I was allowed to borrow until my custom one was ready😊
Shelby Dennis okay that makes sense!
Absolutely no hate whatsoever! I love your videos and content. I’m just curious to why you use a black girth with brown tack?
freeridexx Because it’s what came with the saddle and comfort far exceeds aesthetics for me.
Shelby Dennis Totally understand that. I use a breastplate that is bright red and all my tack is dark brown. 100% agree.
Love this
This was interesting thx
is your saddle wool or foam flocked?
Emily Copley wool
On till you get your stirrup covers you can just put a pair of socks around your stirrups
Anna Passafiume thanks that’s a great idea!
Yeah
Can u do a polo wrap tutorial
Kinzhorses I’ve thought about it but there’s already so many tutorials on here for that that I don’t think it’s necessary
Omg your heels go down so far!!! My trainer always scolds me because I never get them down enough XD
Have you got good riding boots? If there not proper it will hurt to have them down properly but if you get some good Flexi ones it will be easier.
Just keep thinking every 5-10 minutes, are my heels down?

You just want weight in your heels to help support your hip and leg and absorb shock but beyond that it really doesn’t matter and when people have them so far down the heel hyperflexes, it loses function
Shelby Dennis I always fall forward and my leg goes back, so I think it’s safe to say I’m not stabilized haha
L M I have paddock boots and half chaps, I haven’t used a pair of tall boots in years lol
OMG FIRST
No views!!!! First time being first!!! ILY posted 16 seconds ago!!
Do u use other bio mane product or just the brush
Kinzhorses just the brush
If you were to board would you recommend 24/7 turnout or a barn with a stall?
Gecko Lord 24/7 turnout is always going to be more natural/ healthier for the horse if you have an option. If I ever had to board again, I wouldn’t board anywhere where my horses would be in a stall with no free access to a paddock.

Strange Creature he’s body clipped in areas where he’d sweat the most so that he dries off faster through the winter
Hi! I can answer your first question. There are different types of clips to do different things.

I wish dapple had more colors..Green and navy are cool yet I want some other colors
How many stalls do you have?
Emily Lipsitz None because I don’t stall my horses
@@Milestone-Equestrian I'm glad you do 24/7 turnout I would probably do that too if I had space/money for a horse cuz I'm a broke bitch
I was wondering does that girth seen as it has fleece make Milo really sweaty? That's what I get worried about hehe
L M Not more so than a leather or neoprene girth would. Sheepskin is actually more breathable than both of those
I still don’t really understand why people don’t full seat before jumps...how do they feel the way the horse is approaching the jump?
Laura Navajas usually people who don’t full seat aren’t on as green of horses so they don’t necessarily need to have as much of a feel
Green is definitely Milo’s color
Almost
Wee! 😍
👍
i love your vids! im trying to get my parents to get me a jumping mare she is a 16hh warmblood quarter arab cross she is 8 yo she jumpes 1.20m but she can get as high as 1.45m and maybe even more! i already have one horse his name is star he is a 9yo quarter arab paint cross, he is 15hh and we jump up to 1.10 but that is as high as he goes! so i want another horse to take me up the levels and really help me reach high level riding shows! i have never shown star and i don't think he is up for it... that is why i wanna get that mare...
