Woohoo 🙌 well done guys

My heart was in my mouth all round the cross country. AMAZING. Clear round??? Say whaaaaaat!

Woop woop you managed to insert a wee IG handle 😜 Fab day and fab result 🎉

Loved it! Well Done You 🎉 Subscribed ❤ Keep it up 💥x

Loved this, well done you! Also, please don't take this the wrong way, but I love watching slightly older people doing vlogs (I mean people not in their 20's) it gives me so much motivation being in my 30's! So thank you x

Great vlog ❤

Super well done! That first XC fence was causing carnage all weekend!! Fantastic result 🎉

So had to pause your video to comment on your lesson - I’d recognise that voice anywhere!!!!!and he will now be addressed as “The big DG” 😂😂

Yay! Congratulations to you andJohnny! Great job and well-deserved.❤🎉😊

Congrats on your clear rounds🥳! Well done!

Your lesson looked great! Good start for you guys. What a great team you had there too. Well done lovley! 🎉

Well done Sara and of course Johnny!! Gutted I never knew this event was on last weekend as its fairly local, was at Hopetoun BE trials a few weeks back.

Good to see a supportive team behind you 🫶

Can you please do a stock tying tutorial ❤

So happy to see a new vlog from you. I'm enjoying my binge watch of your channel. Edited to add that I am so happy for you!!!🎉

Doing a binge watch of your videos. Holidays are awesome.

Oh my gosh I loved this 🎉 I was smiling so much watching your cross country road. 🤩. Hearing all the good ons and good boys was so lush to hear and I’m so so proud of you guys. Well done to you both amazing result. ❤️

Double clear 🍾🥂

And this is why it's always good to drop a level to get that confidence and buzz back! Well done you!

Just discovered your channel. Am now subscribed. Your son is better at videoing than me.

Bugger, but you are out there doing it!! Well done, I thought your dressage was actually better than your score. Love your very real video! Subscribed 😊 Smashed the hunter trial!

Well done! I'd never stop chatting to my horse in the arena or on hacks lol He's a lovely boy.

What a kind and gentle and honest horse this is. He just doesn't make it look dramatic he just is a worker. Fabulous safe animal who looks as though he enjoys his work. Ride quietly with lots of leg and hand support but really he's point and shoot.

Loved watching this! I chat to my Dinosaur in every phase...I think it remind me to breath :) This round has inspired me to kick on tomorrow, and get the post XC buzz.

Well done! Don’t stop chatting to him during XC, so cute and you can hear the delight in your voice!

😂😂

That’s very strange that he doesn’t seem to be enjoying himself. Most horses find the cross country to be the most fun. Maybe some cross-country schooling lessons?

Omg!! Brilliant show jumping round. What a lovely rhythm and brilliantly ridden!!! Totally agree with your own comments on XC the one she jumped you round lovely as he flew them!! Water = scary….no likey!!!! You know I think you’re awesome and I love Johnny!!! Keep going….it always 5 steps forward and 10 back…but just keep going!!! Xxx

He looks rather dead to the leg and resentful and your over riding just compounds. He needs to up fitness, get lighter and lift through his frame. He’s got obvious ability but I don’t think you two are on the same page in your partnership. Great idea to drop back right back and start from the ground up. Ground work can light him up whilst giving him leadership and direction without having to resort to the stick when all else is failing. Take it as a reset moment in order to achieve 100 with ease. Steve Young horsemanship is worth a watch for ground work brilliance.

Hi there from to hot Florida! Had to comment because I too moved up in height and got the big "E"!!! But i knew I would after walking the XC , My horse and I just don't have enough practices on the bigger jumps, he's the kind to go with caution rather than bravery right now and as I chicken out if I feel him looking and questioning a jump he"ll slam on brakes! So I move him to a farm with a XC course too overcome these issues and I'm enjoying the journey!! Take the time to get the confidence for you both, and enjoy the process!

He did not have the usual xcountry eagerness at the start box and beyond . Guess you will sort out if he looks forward to it as much as you do and want to do! Kudos to you! Take your time to find out so does not need not so much urging on your part . Has he done eventing in younger years? Following you from across the pond.

Ahh I feel your pain! Good on you to show all your ups and down and that you keep going!!

Lovely horse. To me he looks like he just needs to get fitter and stronger. He moves well, jumps well and seems to have a willing personality. Eventing needs a lot of strength and endurance. Do you ever take him to the gallops?

Nice video except on the cross country I only heard one 'good boy' ....think a little bit more praise & encouragement wouldn't hurt. ❤

A great test 👍 you're doing a brilliant job 👏. ....oh btw is your car left hand drive.....or is it the video? Xxx

Honestly, it’s so refreshing to see someone real that isn’t perfect every second of the vlog, because real horse life isn’t perfect all the time! Looking forward to joining along in your journey ❤

Love your honesty, you might see this as a fail but I would like to learn from it 😂 I’m interested in what your coach might have to say and I look forward to seeing how far you both will come in a years time, keep it up surely it can only get better

Don't be so hard on yourself, there's positives there, the dressage is very good, and he can jump. It'll all come together eventually xx

Sorry, bit late, only just found your channel! I thought you did a decent dressage test, shame about the refusal in the showjumping. You looked to be going fairly well across country until you came off! You did great in the hunter trial!!

I am really looking forward to your blog. Love to hear a bit more of the background. Johnny-breed, how old, how long have you had him, what has he done before you started your vlog? And you! Tell us about yourself. This may all be somewhere and I'm too daft to find it. BTW I too am an old lady just getting into eventing. I competed endurance for the last 30 years and this year my 20 yo Arabian and I are trying eventing. So, I can identify with all you are going through. Excellent job BTW, and I would be thrilled with a 35 dressage.

WATER VERY SCARY 😂

Really nice test ❤. You are doing fabulous xx

Brilliant new you had it in you

I‘d take the stairs, for sure! Johnny can choose the rest😄.

Lovely test, you know exactly where he’s need to improve you said it while warming up! You will get there ! You are doing fab! Great viewing

I thought that was a lovely test Sara! How nice that he warms up so nicely away from home too 👍🏼

Love the horse. The only way to know, is to try. 3 cheers ! KEEP GOING !!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm getting back into riding at 50 and so understand. You look far younger than me but this video helped me Thank you 😊

This is such an honest video, thanks for sharing I’ll be subscribing 👏

Well done for giving it another go.
