I really appreciate your honesty regarding your health issues Tina. It’s difficult enough to deal with heavy, painful periods, but extra challenging for horsey girls, particularly considering how hard having horses and/or ponies can be physically. And equine clothing is particularly unforgiving (white breeches! 😱). You are such a positive person, I’m sure everything will be absolutely fine. And Banksy will be fine too, gorgeous boy. Maybe the feminine hygiene business needs a sporty spokesperson? Too often these things are not spoken about, and girls and women suffer in silence. Lots of love to you and your beautiful boy ❤ xx
I honestly have no idea how you keep up with all your socials messages as well as everything else! An inspiration as a horse rider/owner as well as an influencer! All hale Queen Tina 😅🙌🏻
Thank you so much for sharing your story about your period issues, it’s something that shouldn’t be taboo at all and it’s actually really good to learn - I hope all goes well and you’re feeling better soon! I’m sorry you’ve had to suffer so much xxx
You’re a true horsewoman, putting your horse before yourself and your goals! I’m sorry for your female problems. I can relate, having struggled with endometriosis and uterine fibroids for the majority of my reproductive years (NOT that I ever reproduced or wanted to!) I had TERRIBLE periods from the time I started having periods; excessive bleeding, debilitating menstrual cramps, completely irregular periods - sometimes once a month, sometimes two weeks a month, sometimes an entire month!😱 That issue and the endometriosis were helped by being put on oral hormonal birth control pills at about age 14, NOT for birth control purposes, but rather to improve my endo and the associated period issues. Worked a dream! I did have to have a couple surgeries over the decades to remove endometrial tissue which had managed to make its way to other organs, as well as having uterine fibroids removed. My surgeries were mostly easy, as they were done laparoscopically. One tiny incision in my navel for the camera, and two tiny incisions on either side of my bikini line for the tiny instruments. Thank goodness for that technology! I was up and walking the same day on two of those. The third and last surgery for endometriosis and fibroids was a bit more painful, as my surgeon had to remove a LOT of huge fibroids, and basically had to reconstruct my uterus due to the size of the fibroids. That one was also done laparoscopically, but did take me longer to heal. Hopefully your fibroids are small and easily removable! My last and most effective laparoscopic procedure was to have a partial hysterectomy at age 42. The endometriosis and uterine fibroids were just getting ridiculous, I didn’t want kids, AND one of my blood tests came back with a high marker for potential cervical cancer. So it was decided between myself, my wonderful OB/GYN, and the surgeon that it just made sense to remove the troublesome organ. Again, it was done laparoscopically (NO clue how they removed my uterus and my cervix -NO idea how he managed to remove an entire uterus that way- AND my appendix, as my surgeon had offered to take it out along with my uterus, and I figured why not?). Luckily, none of the specimens sent to the lab showed any sign of cancer. Whew! I can tell you I do NOT miss having periods or worrying about what havoc my uterus is getting up to in there. All of which is to say that I know exactly what you’re going through, and I just wanted to try to reassure you that your condition is very treatable and that the surgeries are a relative breeze with today’s technology. I’m wishing you the best of luck on your health journey. I know you prioritize Banksy over yourself, but in this case, you need to prioritize your care. Banksy will still be there. Much love from the U.S.❤
I had a hysteroscopy last year after post-menopausal bleeding (and an internal scan showed possible polyps). I had the procedure under general anaesthetic, as I had previously struggled with other procedures. All done in day surgery and home by 6 pm. The surgeon couldn’t actually find anything, and I have had no bleeding since. Glad I got it checked out (in the 2 week window due to my age - 53). Hope you are sorted soon ❤️
Keeping everything crossed for both you and Banksy health wise. I am so glad you are over cautious than under. Health comes first ❤ Love Suzie, her laugh is so infectious 😅❤
Tina, you're a gem! I have DMed you before and you always respond quickly and kindly. Thank you for sharing your health updates. Feminine problems are things all us women are so embarrassed to talk about and we need to normalize it. We shouldn't be struggling in silence when there are absolutely others going through the same thing and benefit from the conversation. Happy you have some answers and are on the way to feeling better!
We love you talking about the hard stuff and the easy stuff. While you may be personal - you are correct. It is mostly women and girls who watch this channel and if their hubs or boyfriend is around? Good for them to be informed as well. No matter what you and Banksy do or don’t do the gang will hang around! How satisfying was that clean out! Everything looks beautiful and selling old tack and horsey stuff is perfect. Someone’s trash (although none of it looked like trash) is another one’s 0:15 treasure! Hope you and Banks get back to feeling 100% in no time at all. Thanks for your over sharing self!
Hi tina,absolutely loved your Frank chat on your vlog. I so hope bansky is going to be ok. And especially I hope you get on ok after more tests. I am loving you talking at the stables about everyday things.x
Oh Tina…..What a great Q&A! Glad to hear you have an exploration and treatment plan for your health. So important, and thank you for sharing. Sending you ❤❤❤. Hope all is well with Banks! Pls update us soonest! And a new pony…….the suspense is going to kill me! 😂😂😂❤❤❤
Tina, thank you for being open about your health issues. I’ve not had the problems you’ve had but I’ve had friends who have. And letting people know that they are not alone is so important. And making clear that if you have good medical care you will be heard (and if you don’t have good medical care you’re entitled to push the drs to do their job) and get some helpful advice on treatment or self care. The most important thing is that we find a way forward out of something that is easy to make a catastrophe.
My mother had endometrial cancer. Sadly due to medical negligence it was diagnosed very very late and it had spread. The first signs were fibroids and heavy bleeding. Luckily after some very gruelling treatment she is now 12 years all clear. But if she had been offered a hysterectomy when it all first stared with heavy bleeding all the cancer trouble would have been avoided. Caught early it's one of Theo's curable cancers so if a hysterectomy is discussed it should be carefully considered! Good luck xx
I had one myself, largely for the reason that my OB/GYN ran some tests which brought up the possibility of cervical cancer. I also had endometriosis and uterine fibroids, so the decision was easily made to get rid of my pesky uterus. I had mine done laparoscopically-an tiny incision in my navel for the camera, and three tiny incisions along my bikini line for instruments. The marvels of modern medicine! It was a relatively easy surgery, and I was riding again less than two months later! I’m so sorry about what your mother went through. That’s just terrible!
Love this T and I really hope Banks is ok bless his little cottons🥰 Sounds like lots of exciting things for the future and PLEASE coach socials, I would absolutely love this and you would be fantastic🙌
I had Endometriosis for many years, i ended up getting stage 1 cancer and a full hysterectomy, which was fine because never was going to have children so the parts going were better than feeling every month like I was going to bleed to death, and well cancer. I am sure, that your doctors will figure it out and you will feel better soon. As for Banksy poor guy he does not look happy I hope it is nothing but him being annoyed with the heat and stuff. Love you all, and i hope you all get well!
Tina,you and Banksy have no pressure to do anything, you know him best and if he doesn't fancy the big courses he will enjoy whatever you ask him to do, you have the most amazing memories,you know how good he is and how much fun you have shared, take each day as it comes, make sure you are fit and healthy and keep doing what you do for your bestest boy ❤ xx
You’ve a lot going on but you’re so capable now and I can’t help thinking you need a young project to take onwards as you care for the aging Banks. It would also be so much learning for you taking a five year old upwards to two star.
Omg yr amazing sharing yr personal female problems .....so very brave and so wonderful for anyone else going through the same thing or similar......as women we should do this more but we don't 😢thank u and I 100% u get it all sorted soon ❤❤❤
Hi Tina, hope all goes well with your health, I've had a historectomy and it's not fun. Love the light brown stud girth it would fit beautifully with my saddle but unfortunately I'm in South Africa😢. Good luck with bannksy for the future! Love Jenny 🇿🇦
Hi Tina, thank you for sharing your personal health, I also think it’s important to talk about these things, I had the same experience as you, extremely heavy periods lasting more the 3 weeks sometimes, I had scans etc and they found the same as you mentioned, they were removed by keyhole surgery and I was told my periods would stabiles after I have children, so 2 children later and it didn’t make much difference! I took tablets to help for a while then years later I had to have a hysterectomy as I had more masses and a prolapse womb, that doesn’t mean yours will end up that way, but it was the best thing ever to have done! I kept my ovaries so no HRT, anyway if you ever want to chat, get in touch x Hope Banks is ok too x
Hi Tina Dear, it’s Jane your fan from Florida in America, A pony is 14 .3 a horse is 15 hands. Over here we see many men who weigh over 13 or14 stone riding American Quarter Horses, They are built to carry that kind of weight and are vey agile and speedy. They can also compete in many other events like English showing, eventing, jumping. They are truly extremely versatile. You would love to ride on one. Take Care, Jane ❤️🧑🏻🦰❤️🐴
@@Time-and-space11no your correct 14.2 and bellow is a pony we have to get horses measured for pony cards to compete in the pony hunters or pony classes for dressage. 14.3 is a horse in the United States as well
I had fibroids in my 30s. They were removed surgically, I had my daughter and at 50 a hysterectomy. It was so nice not to be anaemic all the time after they were removed. Would recommend!!
Bless you what a brave vlog. Good on you for talking about your gyny issues - it's mad that all us ladies keep it under wraps when potentially half the population need to know it's not just them (I know because I have been there!) and you are a great pony (lol) Mum - also know this feeling at the moment - if only they could talk we wouldn't need to go round in circles and worry ourselves daft about them. Fingers crossed its something and nothing and the gorgeous boy is back to his normal self soon
Crumbs Tina, you do have a lot going on❤. I hope they get your period issues sorted quickly. It sounds like the Drs are being very thorough, which is reassuring. I am struggling with lung issues and Long Covid. Health (ours and our 4-legged family) must come first. I also hope Banksy's health issues are resolved soon, bless him. I love your 'clean out' vlogs. They have previously inspired me to tidy my wardrobe, drawers, cupboards etc... (no horses/tack room now sadly). A couple of suggestions - you can buy drawer inserts to put rolled up socks (Amazon) they might be useful for your paired gloves or putting clothes pegs on each pair of gloves to keep them together or "fold back clips' used to keep documents together might help keep paired gloves 'handy' 😂 no pun intended. Praying for good health for you & and Banksy, dear Tina. Much love 🙏 ❤️
Hi Tina, I had a myomectomy several years ago due to a large uterine fibroid. The operation was the best thing I could have done. My life was so different after that. Fibroids are very common and can cause terrible pain and bleeding. If you're not going to have children, do consider a hysterectomy if you have multiple fibroids, and I say that humbly. You want to monitor your iron levels and haemoglobin levels.
Everything crossed for both you and Banksy to be back on top form very soon. Don’t beat yourself up - you are an awesome horse mum and are seeking answers for your gorgeous boy. The tests themselves can be stressful, so there was no harm in having let him have a bit of time to see if he’d recover his jolly mood without intervention. Also, I have everything crossed that you get to stay in your lovely house. xx
I don't know any other youtuber I would watch for this long doing clean up without getting bored! ❤❤ I reaĺly hope your health improves!!! That Banksy is all good!!! That you can stay in your house!!! That you get your new horse!!! And that Susy have a wonderful Tenerife holiday!!! ❤❤ 14.2 was correct, by the way.....
Great video T & Suzie. & thanks for sharing your health issues. Please come to Spain girls! If you do go to Tenerife, please do a collab with tenerife horse rescue! Itd be so amazing to see you girlies having fun in the sun & visiting the animals there too. I live on the mainland but am hoping to volounteer there next year. Hope Banks & you are feeling bettter pronto, much paz & amor X
🤞🤞🙏🍀 good luck with your health and hope Banksy is ok too. I totally understand how you are feeling when I was 49 I was diagnosed with ovarian cancer. Wishing you all the very best 🙏 . Loved the vlog with Susie helping you. She's definitely a star supporter. for you and Emily. 💜 Xx
I would definitely recommend looking into a chiropractor coming out. He might have a rib not completely in the correct position. I hope you find the answer to your precious boy. I am happy to hear you are doing the right thing looking at his health ❤
Love your blog. Regarding your health I have been there, as many other women. Since you don't want children best to have an ablasion or hysterectomy via robotic. You will be soo much happier. Best of luck to you.
Oh Tina…you are the most positive person even through hard times. I hope Banksy can get back to his normal jolly self! I understand the period pains as it seems so be so much more common than people realize and know you are not alone….BUT it is not embarrassing!!! I am so sorry you are having to deal with this. Sending prayers and happy thoughts. Stay strong and keep your head high. You have so many people behind you and care like no other. We love you and B ❤️🫶🏼.
My Dearest Tina, I had a very similar problem to you, every month was hell, but they solved it and all was alright, it took a little while but everything was alright in the end which is what I hope for you. Your fan Jane from America ❤️🧑🏻🦰❤️🐴
Aah Tina... I know several women (incl my maternal unit) have fibroids and all is fine with them (offers gentle hugs) Well done on the clean-up and I can't wait to see who the new arrival might be!! Taking it one moment at a time is all we can do nowdays; what is, is. It's hard to not go 'what if' so fight against that desire. The most important thing (apart from competitions) is yours and Banksy's health. As long as you have time together, that's quality time. Maybe look into teaching him tricks? (bowing, long-reining etc) Best wishes from South Africa!
glad you got yourself an appointment and found out what was going on with your monthlys and I hope they can get you some treatment for the fibroid things , and I hope banks can get sorted to XXX
❤aaahhhh this vlog made me smile and tear up 2day. I always love how honest and true you are in your vlogs. Ive really enjoyed watching it. The cleaning up is quite relaxing to watch. Fingers crossed for yours and Banksys health. Look after yourselves ❤
Glad you and Banksy are doing better ❤❤,looking forward to a perhaps new pony update 😊. In Canada 14.2and under are ponies but i call all horses ponies lol . Loooved the tidy up vlog ,it gives me motivation to tidy mine 😅thx gor the nice long chatty vlog ,love them ❤❤😊😊
Lovely Vid T, we all see our horses everyday and think we're over worrying sometimes! Exciting about possible new equine purchase and We call our 17.3hh IDX a pony lol
Yeah, looks like ulcers. I didn't scope my boy, I just started him on Ulcer guard. 38 days (includes a week of stepping down dosage). There are supplements to help but I have to keep my boy on maintenance dosage for work. It is very common in racehorses (93% plus and very common in performance horses as well). Often people assume there is a behavioral problem when the horse is trying to say they are hurting. It is tricky to know when there is a physical or mental problem. My boy is 4, developing for dressage. The tell is my boy being behind the leg, backwards thinking or ear pinning, grumpy looking. Even after a summer holiday, I had to start him back on half tube since I have a show this coming weekend. He has to be on 1/2 tube leading up to and after a show. Trial and error will determine how to manage it. It's a pain and extremely expensive but it's necessary to make them feel better.
FYI, I just had my saddle fitter out. I have a Stubben flex tree dressage saddle and it seems ulcerative horses are more sensitive to the movement of the tree. I added a half pad and my boy was much happier, is now willing to canter whereas before without the half pad he didn't want to canter. The half pad dampens the movement in the tree so they can deal with it.
I previously suffered from excessive bleeding during my periods. Unfortunately, my family doctor did not take me seriously so no investigation has been done. But… Thankfully birth control has helped me tremendously. They have me on a medication where I only have my period every seventh week. Anyway this is not medical advice or a recommendation. But I just wanted to say you aren’t alone dealing with heavy flows. It can be so frustrating and stressful!
Hi Tina, sending hugs to you and banksy hope you both feel better soon, hope all is ok with banks, as for you ladies problems I totally understand and I used to suffer from horrible periods for years, I couldn’t leave the house for the first few days and I got lethargic weak and went on the pill , that was the best thing I ever did as they stopped completely and I got my life back. Also iron tablets are good drink Guinness it’s full of iron, spinach nuts iron rich foods can help. Hope you get it sorted soon as it’s a horrible thing to have to go through, sending love and support to you.x
I am proud of you T and I don’t even know you. You are a wonderful person and you really do take things in your stride. With Banksy having pads on his soles will get softer and weaker, you should look into going barefoot (yes im one of those). There is some really informative literature etc on it, you are obviously capable of making your own decisions etc but it’s worth a shot of looking in to (I have me personal sob story about transitioning and I would never go back to shoes)
there are plenty people that event at this level and higher barefoot. If you don’t know what you’re talking about don’t say anything at all. The natural hoof does not slip the same as a metal shoe. Do horses in the wild need shoes to scale difficult terrain? There are also studies that studs cause. differential impact to the joints
Another brilliant video as always Hoping all the best for you All an massive inspiration Tennerife all the way 😂 siam park is the best 😅😅😅 An la Martina restaurant in playa de Las Americas yum 😋
Tina there is hoys, sunshine tor, London internashonel ,AND you horse live show. At stoneleigh park . That would be such a great journey ,or just some of them .Take care and all the best. 😀😀👍👍👍💖💟 Thank you to suzi for all she does.
Colne saddlery sell something called a saddle smith which is better than the pipe insulation. .. really good idea for protecting saddles, they attach to the Stubbs saddle rack
I hope you've got some answers for Banksy! Poor pony (😂) its funny how they let us know they're not okay. Lemme is always so good about telling me but i dont always listen or understand. Also, 14.2 is pony, anything bigger is a horses. I always think Banksy is bigger than 15.3😂. My new boy is only 15 hands, he seemed so small to me when I got him. Lemme is 16.2 hands and now seems huge. 😂 I'm like how did I even put his saddle on. Lol I went through the same problem at 46 years old, months and months of heavy, and I mean heavy! My doctor finally decided a Hysterectomy was the best for my health. Took everything but my tubs. Doctor never really found any reason why. But it was the best thing I ever did! 😅 I don't/didn't miss my period one bit! 😂😂😂 I didn't start Menopause until I was 50ish. It was a really easy change for me. Praying for both you and Banksy. Hope all is well!
That red in the white line is not bruising. It's possibly some mild laminitis. And massive over-trimming. I'm a barefoot trimmer BTW, with 18 years of experience.
Banks definitely looks like he has ulcer symptoms. If he does have them I would highly recommend the weekly injections over the daily syringes, a lot lot less hassle and more effective. Thankfully with ulcers once you start treatment it doesn’t take long to get them back to their normal selves 😊
Yep been doing a lot of research today and definitely going to be asking for the weekly injections if he has them as he is awful at taking any sort of syringe orally. It becomes very stressful for me and him xx
Yes, he did look his legs but then I watched you ride and Emily seem fine there I know they’re confusing animals. I love them dearly, but it’s hard to know how they really feel.
Tina my Dear I love your home and where you do your videos from, I truly hope that you will not be moving from that place, I will be very sad, both Dinksy and Banksy love it there so much, please don’t move unless you are forced to. Your friend Jane😀🧑🏻🦰😀🐴
Great vlog. Nice to see 'the other side' of things for a change. Banksy was certainly uncomfortable when you were tacking up. Hope you now know what the problems are. 14.2 and lower are ponies. Lady problems.......as females we all have them in one form or other. You should never feel embarrassed in any way by going to a Dr and getting help. If your pushed aside, and not taken seriously, seek out a different Dr. Again, hope you felt relief soon. Reading between the lines, I see a young horse coming to a stable near you!....wonder if I'm right. 🤔😅. ❤
If you are interested there are some videos on UA-cam by Barbara O'Neill on balancing female hormones, she specifically recommends WildYam cream and talks about it helping some of the problems you've mentioned. Hope there is something useful in there for you.
Its amazing that you're talking about womens issues, im sorry that you are experiencing these problem's but i can promise you as someone who works in theatres that hysteroscopys are nothing to be adraid of, theyre not too invasive and just give your doctors a better understanding of the mass that they have seen on the scan x
According to everything I've ever read a horse is 14.2 and above. A pony is 14.1 and below. But I am in the US so it may be different. I have a fibroid as well, my sis just had a hysterectomy for the same reason and I think that is where I am headed. The thing thats made me so mad is that I went years barely having a period and then started eating uber healthy. I then started having periods that never stopped until I had to have iv iron. Now if I eat junk food all the time I don't bleed but as soon as I improve my diet at all, bam, bleeding. Theres no winning. Lol. Good luck with your issues. Last edit. I'm so excited about Banksy being a show pony. I dont know why but I love the shows. I wish we had them in the US, i would totally do them with my new pony (16.2😂)
@@LifeontheLeftRein I've noticed in the UK you guys consider Banksy to be a small horse at 15.3. Where I live he is so tall that people have actually gotten mad at me and bashed me for looking for one that big. People here say absolutely no one NEEDS a horse bigger than 15hh.
Is that anatomical girth new? I know someone who recently changed a "normal" girth to an anatomical one and the horse went 3 legged lame on it, refused to be saddled, the whole smash. She went back to the old girth and the problem was solved instantly. Just a thought.
@@LifeontheLeftRein they didn’t actually find a thing other than slightly thickened lining , think it’s hormonal with me , but my goodness months of heavy bleeding , the tiredness from being anaemic all took its toll so sending you lots of sympathy and good luck for the treatments they’re a great team x
Glad you and Banksy are better But I’m shocked you’ve hardly had any Rain it’s been non stop rain around Plymouth Devon And you have to do Badminton you can’t have Emily and Meg and not you Plus it could be the last time Banksy can physically do it I’d try and qualify and just enjoy it not worry about if you do better or not than this year
I was surprised you still rode him with his reaction being so extreme to being saddled/girthed up. It was clear you didn’t realise until you watched it back xx
@@LifeontheLeftRein The music comes through both, as does the talking when you're in bed. For the yard footage, your voice comes through the right earphone and Suzie's comes through the left.
Take care of yourself and Banksy, you'll both be better for it. I hope whatever I'd going on with banks is an speedy recovery. My horse used to be super girthy, pulling back the whole 9 yards. I put him on a toxin binder and his on it forever, completely different horse and doesn't get girthy any more
I really appreciate your honesty regarding your health issues Tina. It’s difficult enough to deal with heavy, painful periods, but extra challenging for horsey girls, particularly considering how hard having horses and/or ponies can be physically.

Oh my goodness you are the BEST owner! Your reaction to his behavior is so refreshing.
Gynaecological issues are not talked about enough. I am glad you are getting it sorted. I will cross my fingers for Banksy on Thursday. Xx
I honestly have no idea how you keep up with all your socials messages as well as everything else! An inspiration as a horse rider/owner as well as an influencer! All hale Queen Tina 😅🙌🏻
My mom was diagnosed with exactly what you have had with your cycles. All will be okay I promise ❤ Brave of you to speak of this for us women xx
Thank you so much for sharing your story about your period issues, it’s something that shouldn’t be taboo at all and it’s actually really good to learn - I hope all goes well and you’re feeling better soon! I’m sorry you’ve had to suffer so much xxx
You’re a true horsewoman, putting your horse before yourself and your goals!
I’m sorry for your female problems. I can relate, having struggled with endometriosis and uterine fibroids for the majority of my reproductive years (NOT that I ever reproduced or wanted to!)

Coaching around overcoming fears/nerves. How to keep a positive attitude etc is TOTALLY in your wheelhouse Tina 😘
Thanks so much Tina for being so open & sharing with us. 🤞both you & Sir Banksey are both back to being 100% fit really soon
Fingers crossed!🤞 I hope so too xx

Hi tina,absolutely loved your Frank chat on your vlog. I so hope bansky is going to be ok. And especially I hope you get on ok after more tests. I am loving you talking at the stables about everyday things.x
Oh Tina…..What a great Q&A! Glad to hear you have an exploration and treatment plan for your health. So important, and thank you for sharing. Sending you ❤❤❤. Hope all is well with Banks! Pls update us soonest! And a new pony…….the suspense is going to kill me! 😂😂😂❤❤❤
Fingers crossed for you and Banksy. Big hugs from my two horses to Banksy.
Thanks lovely appreciate that xx

I had mine done laparoscopically-an tiny incision in my navel for the camera, and three tiny incisions along my bikini line for instruments. The marvels of modern medicine! It was a relatively easy surgery, and I was riding again less than two months later!
I’m so sorry about what your mother went through. That’s just terrible!
Love this T and I really hope Banks is ok bless his little cottons🥰 Sounds like lots of exciting things for the future and PLEASE coach socials, I would absolutely love this and you would be fantastic🙌
Aaahhhhh maybe when I have abit more free time, thank you though appreciate the support xx
I had Endometriosis for many years, i ended up getting stage 1 cancer and a full hysterectomy, which was fine because never was going to have children so the parts going were better than feeling every month like I was going to bleed to death, and well cancer. I am sure, that your doctors will figure it out and you will feel better soon. As for Banksy poor guy he does not look happy I hope it is nothing but him being annoyed with the heat and stuff. Love you all, and i hope you all get well!
Tina,you and Banksy have no pressure to do anything, you know him best and if he doesn't fancy the big courses he will enjoy whatever you ask him to do, you have the most amazing memories,you know how good he is and how much fun you have shared, take each day as it comes, make sure you are fit and healthy and keep doing what you do for your bestest boy ❤ xx
You’ve a lot going on but you’re so capable now and I can’t help thinking you need a young project to take onwards as you care for the aging Banks. It would also be so much learning for you taking a five year old upwards to two star.
Haha!! I value your optimism 😉
Might even be slightly younger!!
All the best with your health issues and hope that banksy gets well soon❤
Epic vlog chatty honest I love Susie take care of you and your boy he's so special I've missed these vlogs❤
Omg yr amazing sharing yr personal female problems .....so very brave and so wonderful for anyone else going through the same thing or similar......as women we should do this more but we don't 😢thank u and I 100% u get it all sorted soon ❤❤❤
You are so welcome that’s for being so supportive xx
It can be frustrating getting answers for a medical issue whether for our horses or ourselves. All the best to you and Banksy.
Sure can be!!!
Thank you appreciate the support xx
Hi Tina, hope all goes well with your health, I've had a historectomy and it's not fun. Love the light brown stud girth it would fit beautifully with my saddle but unfortunately I'm in South Africa😢. Good luck with bannksy for the future! Love Jenny 🇿🇦
I have mine booked in now for in a couple weeks time xx
OMG I don't know how you keep up such an active lifestyle with extreme periods. I had them too, due to endometriosis. Hope you feel better soon.
Another endometriosis sufferer! What a horrible condition, isn’t it? I’m sorry you have to deal with it too. 😢
Good vlog Tina - absolutely, prioritise your health and Banksy's well being. One day at a time and sending love and healing vibes.
Thanks Marion xx
@@LifeontheLeftRein You are so welcome. xx
I have a 16.3, a 16.2, a 15.1 and a 14 hand and they’re all ponies. I always say ‘I’m going to do the ponies!’
You all take care, I love that your so real xx
Thank you xx
Hi Tina hoping all of Banksy’s results come back ok or tell you what is going on. Sending lots of love and positive vibes from Wales ❤️
I hope so too hate him not being right xx
Congratulations Suzie 🎉
Hi Tina, thank you for sharing your personal health, I also think it’s important to talk about these things, I had the same experience as you, extremely heavy periods lasting more the 3 weeks sometimes, I had scans etc and they found the same as you mentioned, they were removed by keyhole surgery and I was told my periods would stabiles after I have children, so 2 children later and it didn’t make much difference! I took tablets to help for a while then years later I had to have a hysterectomy as I had more masses and a prolapse womb, that doesn’t mean yours will end up that way, but it was the best thing ever to have done! I kept my ovaries so no HRT, anyway if you ever want to chat, get in touch x
Hope Banks is ok too x
Dinks at 1:02:09 🤣 such a funny chap. Lovely vlog Tina, wishing all of you, ponio & human the best of health xx
I'm so proud that you watch out for Banksy. You're the the BEST MOMMY EVER . All of your pets are so happy. ❤❤❤🙋♀️
They are my world xx
Arrw thanks for sharing love you, hugs keep us updated on you're health ❤x
Tina what a wonderful vlog - thank you - heartfelt honesty defines you - the lovely Suzie said it well "one day at a time".
❤
I know exactly what you're going through. Same happened to me and can be very difficult at times. Hope you get sorted.
Hi Tina Dear, it’s Jane your fan from Florida in America,
A pony is 14 .3 a horse is 15 hands. Over here we see many men who weigh over
13 or14 stone riding American Quarter Horses,
They are built to carry that kind of weight and are vey agile and speedy. They can also compete in many other events like English showing,
eventing, jumping. They are truly extremely versatile.
You would love to ride on one.
Take Care, Jane ❤️🧑🏻🦰❤️🐴
Pony is 14.2 btw! That's in the UK might be different in America
@@Time-and-space11no your correct 14.2 and bellow is a pony we have to get horses measured for pony cards to compete in the pony hunters or pony classes for dressage. 14.3 is a horse in the United States as well
I had fibroids in my 30s. They were removed surgically, I had my daughter and at 50 a hysterectomy. It was so nice not to be anaemic all the time after they were removed. Would recommend!!
I have the hysteroscopy in a couple weeks so hoping they will remove them then xx
@@LifeontheLeftRein Wishing you all the best!
Bless you what a brave vlog. Good on you for talking about your gyny issues - it's mad that all us ladies keep it under wraps when potentially half the population need to know it's not just them (I know because I have been there!) and you are a great pony (lol) Mum - also know this feeling at the moment - if only they could talk we wouldn't need to go round in circles and worry ourselves daft about them. Fingers crossed its something and nothing and the gorgeous boy is back to his normal self soon
Thank you, yep glad I’ve been investigated and on the road to being sorted, hopefully we get to the bottom of the Boys needs tomorrow xx
@@LifeontheLeftRein ❤
how awesome is Susie!!!!?!!! I wish I had a friend like her! you luky girl!
She’s fabulous xx
Crumbs Tina, you do have a lot going on❤. I hope they get your period issues sorted quickly. It sounds like the Drs are being very thorough, which is reassuring. I am struggling with lung issues and Long Covid. Health (ours and our 4-legged family) must come first. I also hope Banksy's health issues are resolved soon, bless him. I love your 'clean out' vlogs. They have previously inspired me to tidy my wardrobe, drawers, cupboards etc... (no horses/tack room now sadly). A couple of suggestions - you can buy drawer inserts to put rolled up socks (Amazon) they might be useful for your paired gloves or putting clothes pegs on each pair of gloves to keep them together or "fold back clips' used to keep documents together might help keep paired gloves 'handy' 😂 no pun intended. Praying for good health for you & and Banksy, dear Tina. Much love 🙏 ❤️
Hi Tina, I had a myomectomy several years ago due to a large uterine fibroid. The operation was the best thing I could have done. My life was so different after that. Fibroids are very common and can cause terrible pain and bleeding. If you're not going to have children, do consider a hysterectomy if you have multiple fibroids, and I say that humbly. You want to monitor your iron levels and haemoglobin levels.
Everything crossed for both you and Banksy to be back on top form very soon. Don’t beat yourself up - you are an awesome horse mum and are seeking answers for your gorgeous boy. The tests themselves can be stressful, so there was no harm in having let him have a bit of time to see if he’d recover his jolly mood without intervention.
Also, I have everything crossed that you get to stay in your lovely house. xx
I don't know any other youtuber I would watch for this long doing clean up without getting bored! ❤❤ I reaĺly hope your health improves!!! That Banksy is all good!!! That you can stay in your house!!! That you get your new horse!!! And that Susy have a wonderful Tenerife holiday!!! ❤❤ 14.2 was correct, by the way.....
Great video T & Suzie. & thanks for sharing your health issues. Please come to Spain girls! If you do go to Tenerife, please do a collab with tenerife horse rescue! Itd be so amazing to see you girlies having fun in the sun & visiting the animals there too. I live on the mainland but am hoping to volounteer there next year. Hope Banks & you are feeling bettter pronto, much paz & amor X
🤞🤞🙏🍀 good luck with your health and hope Banksy is ok too.
I totally understand how you are feeling when I was 49 I was diagnosed with ovarian cancer. Wishing you all the very best 🙏 . Loved the vlog with Susie helping you. She's definitely a star supporter. for you and Emily. 💜 Xx
I would definitely recommend looking into a chiropractor coming out. He might have a rib not completely in the correct position. I hope you find the answer to your precious boy. I am happy to hear you are doing the right thing looking at his health ❤
Love your blog. Regarding your health I have been there, as many other women. Since you don't want children best to have an ablasion or hysterectomy via robotic. You will be soo much happier. Best of luck to you.
I have the hysteroscopy booked in for a couple weeks time xx
So glad to hear. Will it be robotically? Less invasive and healing is much faster.
Oh Tina…you are the most positive person even through hard times. I hope Banksy can get back to his normal jolly self! I understand the period pains as it seems so be so much more common than people realize and know you are not alone….BUT it is not embarrassing!!! I am so sorry you are having to deal with this. Sending prayers and happy thoughts. Stay strong and keep your head high. You have so many people behind you and care like no other. We love you and B ❤️🫶🏼.
My Dearest Tina,
I had a very similar problem to you, every month was hell,
but they solved it and all was alright, it took a little while but everything was alright in
the end which is what I hope
for you.
Your fan Jane from America
❤️🧑🏻🦰❤️🐴
Thanks Jane appreciate the reassurance xx
Aah Tina... I know several women (incl my maternal unit) have fibroids and all is fine with them (offers gentle hugs) Well done on the clean-up and I can't wait to see who the new arrival might be!! Taking it one moment at a time is all we can do nowdays; what is, is. It's hard to not go 'what if' so fight against that desire. The most important thing (apart from competitions) is yours and Banksy's health. As long as you have time together, that's quality time. Maybe look into teaching him tricks? (bowing, long-reining etc) Best wishes from South Africa!
Youre the best mum to Banksy. Hope the vet gets to the problem
Thank you me too 🤞
glad you got yourself an appointment and found out what was going on with your monthlys and I hope they can get you some treatment for the fibroid things , and I hope banks can get sorted to XXX
❤aaahhhh this vlog made me smile and tear up 2day. I always love how honest and true you are in your vlogs. Ive really enjoyed watching it. The cleaning up is quite relaxing to watch. Fingers crossed for yours and Banksys health. Look after yourselves ❤
Glad you and Banksy are doing better ❤❤,looking forward to a perhaps new pony update 😊. In Canada 14.2and under are ponies but i call all horses ponies lol . Loooved the tidy up vlog ,it gives me motivation to tidy mine 😅thx gor the nice long chatty vlog ,love them ❤❤😊😊
Hope all goes well.
Lovely Vid T, we all see our horses everyday and think we're over worrying sometimes! Exciting about possible new equine purchase and We call our 17.3hh IDX a pony lol
Yeah, looks like ulcers. I didn't scope my boy, I just started him on Ulcer guard. 38 days (includes a week of stepping down dosage). There are supplements to help but I have to keep my boy on maintenance dosage for work. It is very common in racehorses (93% plus and very common in performance horses as well). Often people assume there is a behavioral problem when the horse is trying to say they are hurting. It is tricky to know when there is a physical or mental problem. My boy is 4, developing for dressage. The tell is my boy being behind the leg, backwards thinking or ear pinning, grumpy looking. Even after a summer holiday, I had to start him back on half tube since I have a show this coming weekend. He has to be on 1/2 tube leading up to and after a show. Trial and error will determine how to manage it. It's a pain and extremely expensive but it's necessary to make them feel better.
FYI, I just had my saddle fitter out. I have a Stubben flex tree dressage saddle and it seems ulcerative horses are more sensitive to the movement of the tree. I added a half pad and my boy was much happier, is now willing to canter whereas before without the half pad he didn't want to canter. The half pad dampens the movement in the tree so they can deal with it.
I previously suffered from excessive bleeding during my periods. Unfortunately, my family doctor did not take me seriously so no investigation has been done. But… Thankfully birth control has helped me tremendously. They have me on a medication where I only have my period every seventh week. Anyway this is not medical advice or a recommendation. But I just wanted to say you aren’t alone dealing with heavy flows. It can be so frustrating and stressful!
Hi Tina, sending hugs to you and banksy hope you both feel better soon, hope all is ok with banks, as for you ladies problems I totally understand and I used to suffer from horrible periods for years, I couldn’t leave the house for the first few days and I got lethargic weak and went on the pill , that was the best thing I ever did as they stopped completely and I got my life back. Also iron tablets are good drink Guinness it’s full of iron, spinach nuts iron rich foods can help. Hope you get it sorted soon as it’s a horrible thing to have to go through, sending love and support to you.x
I noticed his ears going back while you were putting the saddle on. Poor Banksey.
Yup 😪
14.2hh is the cut off yes, and we all call our horses ponnies here in Texas lol. Cow ponnies, but still ponnies.
Haha love that!!
I am glad your feeling better and you are having it looked into and hope you find out what is going on with Banksy
I am proud of you T and I don’t even know you. You are a wonderful person and you really do take things in your stride.
With Banksy having pads on his soles will get softer and weaker, you should look into going barefoot (yes im one of those). There is some really informative literature etc on it, you are obviously capable of making your own decisions etc but it’s worth a shot of looking in to (I have me personal sob story about transitioning and I would never go back to shoes)
there are plenty people that event at this level and higher barefoot. If you don’t know what you’re talking about don’t say anything at all. The natural hoof does not slip the same as a metal shoe. Do horses in the wild need shoes to scale difficult terrain? There are also studies that studs cause. differential impact to the joints
@@MissJools11I also don’t know who you’re talking to “banksy is an eventing horse” 😂 I’m well aware, I’ve been watching Lotlr for at least 5 years
I love this vlog! Best 1:06:36 of my life!
lol it was a pretty long one, but thanks for the kind support xx
Another brilliant video as always
Hoping all the best for you All an massive inspiration
Tennerife all the way 😂 siam park is the best 😅😅😅
An la Martina restaurant in playa de Las Americas yum 😋
Tina there is hoys, sunshine tor, London internashonel ,AND you horse live show. At stoneleigh park . That would be such a great journey ,or just some of them .Take care and all the best. 😀😀👍👍👍💖💟 Thank you to suzi for all she does.
Colne saddlery sell something called a saddle smith which is better than the pipe insulation. .. really good idea for protecting saddles, they attach to the Stubbs saddle rack
Suzie, you are the best!!!
I hope you've got some answers for Banksy! Poor pony (😂) its funny how they let us know they're not okay. Lemme is always so good about telling me but i dont always listen or understand. Also, 14.2 is pony, anything bigger is a horses. I always think Banksy is bigger than 15.3😂. My new boy is only 15 hands, he seemed so small to me when I got him. Lemme is 16.2 hands and now seems huge. 😂 I'm like how did I even put his saddle on. Lol
I went through the same problem at 46 years old, months and months of heavy, and I mean heavy! My doctor finally decided a Hysterectomy was the best for my health. Took everything but my tubs. Doctor never really found any reason why. But it was the best thing I ever did! 😅 I don't/didn't miss my period one bit! 😂😂😂 I didn't start Menopause until I was 50ish. It was a really easy change for me.
Praying for both you and Banksy. Hope all is well!
If a new horse is on the horizon for you, how about a few lessons for Suzie on Banksy now she doesn't have Spritey to ride 😀😀
Definitely something I’ve already suggested to her!! she’s going to hack him a few more times first before agreeing I think 😉
That red in the white line is not bruising. It's possibly some mild laminitis. And massive over-trimming. I'm a barefoot trimmer BTW, with 18 years of experience.
Oh suzie getting a ponyo! Fingers crossed.
Banks definitely looks like he has ulcer symptoms. If he does have them I would highly recommend the weekly injections over the daily syringes, a lot lot less hassle and more effective. Thankfully with ulcers once you start treatment it doesn’t take long to get them back to their normal selves 😊
Yep been doing a lot of research today and definitely going to be asking for the weekly injections if he has them as he is awful at taking any sort of syringe orally. It becomes very stressful for me and him xx
Would definitely recommend looking into glue on shoes
Yes, he did look his legs but then I watched you ride and Emily seem fine there I know they’re confusing animals. I love them dearly, but it’s hard to know how they really feel.
So so worrying isn’t it xx
Oh girl that electric tape fencing being in a mess was so stressful😂😂
Tina my Dear
I love your home and where you do your videos from, I truly hope that you will not be moving from that place,
I will be very sad, both Dinksy and Banksy love it there so much, please don’t move unless you are forced to. Your friend Jane😀🧑🏻🦰😀🐴
get a youngster!!! They’re so fun❤
Great vlog. Nice to see 'the other side' of things for a change. Banksy was certainly uncomfortable when you were tacking up. Hope you now know what the problems are.
14.2 and lower are ponies.
Lady problems.......as females we all have them in one form or other. You should never feel embarrassed in any way by going to a Dr and getting help. If your pushed aside, and not taken seriously, seek out a different Dr. Again, hope you felt relief soon.
Reading between the lines, I see a young horse coming to a stable near you!....wonder if I'm right. 🤔😅. ❤
If you are interested there are some videos on UA-cam by Barbara O'Neill on balancing female hormones, she specifically recommends WildYam cream and talks about it helping some of the problems you've mentioned. Hope there is something useful in there for you.
Thanks that’s really useful info, appreciate it xx
Its amazing that you're talking about womens issues, im sorry that you are experiencing these problem's but i can promise you as someone who works in theatres that hysteroscopys are nothing to be adraid of, theyre not too invasive and just give your doctors a better understanding of the mass that they have seen on the scan x
According to everything I've ever read a horse is 14.2 and above. A pony is 14.1 and below. But I am in the US so it may be different.
I have a fibroid as well, my sis just had a hysterectomy for the same reason and I think that is where I am headed. The thing thats made me so mad is that I went years barely having a period and then started eating uber healthy. I then started having periods that never stopped until I had to have iv iron. Now if I eat junk food all the time I don't bleed but as soon as I improve my diet at all, bam, bleeding. Theres no winning. Lol. Good luck with your issues.
Last edit. I'm so excited about Banksy being a show pony. I dont know why but I love the shows. I wish we had them in the US, i would totally do them with my new pony (16.2😂)
No that’s what u have always thought too, but that 14.2 is pony and 14.3 and above is horse xx
@@LifeontheLeftRein I've noticed in the UK you guys consider Banksy to be a small horse at 15.3. Where I live he is so tall that people have actually gotten mad at me and bashed me for looking for one that big. People here say absolutely no one NEEDS a horse bigger than 15hh.
Thank you for sharing this video
You can come to our ranch in California!
That’d be fun!!
Is that anatomical girth new? I know someone who recently changed a "normal" girth to an anatomical one and the horse went 3 legged lame on it, refused to be saddled, the whole smash. She went back to the old girth and the problem was solved instantly. Just a thought.
He’s always had this type of girth but thank you for the suggestion defo worth checking xx
I’ve had a hysteroscopy last year , it’s really not that bad x
That’s reassuring to hear, for fibroids? Did you have them removed?x
@@LifeontheLeftRein they didn’t actually find a thing other than slightly thickened lining , think it’s hormonal with me , but my goodness months of heavy bleeding , the tiredness from being anaemic all took its toll so sending you lots of sympathy and good luck for the treatments they’re a great team x
Glad you and Banksy are better
But I’m shocked you’ve hardly had any Rain it’s been non stop rain around Plymouth Devon
And you have to do Badminton you can’t have Emily and Meg and not you
Plus it could be the last time Banksy can physically do it
I’d try and qualify and just enjoy it not worry about if you do better or not than this year
Susie is awesome!
She’s ace isn’t she!!
I was surprised you still rode him with his reaction being so extreme to being saddled/girthed up. It was clear you didn’t realise until you watched it back xx
Yep it was, which I was sad about when editing but equally he was so happy and jolly out riding 🤷♀️
Looking forward to watching but the audio is only coming through my right earphone - hopefully something that could be fixed for future videos?
Oh that’s odd? Not had anyone else say that and have had that issue previously but not for a good year or so xx
@@LifeontheLeftRein The music comes through both, as does the talking when you're in bed. For the yard footage, your voice comes through the right earphone and Suzie's comes through the left.
@@LifeontheLeftReinsame issue for me! Great vlog though loved it x
Take care of yourself and Banksy, you'll both be better for it. I hope whatever I'd going on with banks is an speedy recovery. My horse used to be super girthy, pulling back the whole 9 yards. I put him on a toxin binder and his on it forever, completely different horse and doesn't get girthy any more
1st love your videos ❤❤❤
Thaaankkkss x
14.2 is def the cutoff but I call them all ponies out of love!
Maybe get him checked for ulcers? They can cause a lot of pain and behavioral changes
He’s being scoped tomorrow x
I use purple spray for my ponies!!
Hiiiii Tina love you guys xxxxxxx
