Glad I asked if he could be bored of showing lol. He certainly lit up jumping 😳 he absolutely loved it, great to see you both having fun 😊

Blimey some of the comments about fellow followers being keyboard warriors? Armchair critics? Jelouse, negative people? 😮 I love your vlogs been following you and Lewis, well over a year. It's your decision alone if you continue on yt, I think your an inspiration to many 😊

Hi Karen, it's Deb here, rubber wall mats, leg yielding etc. Anyway I always watch you but rarely comment but you need helpful advice with Willow and his way of going in the show ring. Watch your new jumping video and see how much better he is going in the snaffle, he is not behind the bit nor overbent, he was also much better when he went showing in the snaffle bridle with you and Lewis, I wanted to speak with you then. The bit with your double bridle is too much for him, do you have to ride him in the double, is it required? I know nothing about showing, which is why I ask. If it's necessary to ride in double then please consider an easier bit such as shorter shanks (curb) and plastic bit piece. You can buy bits now where you can change the mouth pieces, sorry I can't remember what they're called, but this is kindly suggestion, watch your jump video and you will see what I mean. He also did a lovely bit of extended trot in that video too. Anyway I wish you and yours all the best, take care Deb

You both looked great out there and having loads of fun😂. Willow really loves to jump and would be lovely to see more of you jumping him. He is so happy You can jump and maybe if you took a few jumping lessons you will feel more confident. could do some working hunter shows with him. He is a star.

OMG!! Karen I am in AWE of you!!!! I’m freaking terrified of jumping! (Although have secret dreams of doing a xc course! 😂) You did amazingly well, and you blooming well can jump!! Those last few, when they had gone up a bit you both looked so smooth and fluid over them. Willow clearly loved it and has a cracking jump on him. How about a spot of working hunter with him in the future?

Wow you both had a lot of fun and you jumped well and sat the little bronks lol and you could do clear round.

Willow is definitely the type of horse I liked jumping. He definitely did enjoy his jumps he did. You was quite good at jumping those jumps the one little tip I would suggest is that you give a bit more with your hands. When I had jumping lessons I was always taught to reach towards the horses ears to make sure that I never accidentally caught the mouth of the horse but that may have changed now. Keep riding forwards after you have just jumped to try and provent the horse from stopping reaching his head down also riding forward after the jump will teach the horse to not learn to stop as soon as he jumped and keep moving forward and not suddenly slow down or stop after the jump to make sure that the horse doesn't just lose energy after a fence.

You,this esme,Harlow and popcorn,

I think he absolutely loved that! And you didn’t do a bad job at all Karen considering you don’t jump, you did super! I think he’d make a cracking workers xx

Willow seems to like it ,trying going in two point just as you are going over the jump , supposedly you sit deep in the canter and as he goes over the jump let that impulsion put you into two point over the jump ,which keeps you off gis back use a neck strap and press your hands into the side of his neck for more balance until you learn how to balance on a jump , you really aren't as bad as you think you are 😊😊❤❤

My arm chair expertise, from following many YT eventers and their lessons is 1) get a strong, consistent canter 2) easier for the horse if you jump over in 2-point -- easier on their back and maybe that makes you rock more with their movement? 3) practice straightness 4) trot polls are just as good for developing the horses' core muscles :) Willow really looks like he likes jumping and you are much stronger and better at it than you think, imho. Thanks for being brave and taking us along :)

10:14 wheeeeee… jumping is fun 😁 great mental and physical stimulation for him. 11:46 😂😂 saying this as she’s jumping… yes yes you can ma’am. He did very well.. nice and straight before and after jump.. and he did great job with him rhythm into jumps. You should be quite pleased with him and you… see didn’t really need that oh shit strap to hang onto🤣👍l 21:51 🧡

Dunno who was enjoying that session more, you "wheeee" or Willow bucking!! 😂😂😂 Deffo put a spring in Willow's step! Maybe a few jumping lessons, and see where you go from there!

You were both amazing! You look great and Willow looked like he had such a good time. Will you be doing more jumping? 🐎❤️

It seemed like he had a great time.

After at least 6 years of not jumping its easy to see that willow enjoyed himself, Jumping is something ive never had any confidence in doing, i always worry im going to fall off

Willow has a very good jump ,looked like he was really enjoying that lesson Dont think your jumping is that bad you did really well as you have not jump in over 6 years you did great, as long as you have fun that is the main thing.

Willow loves jumping! And you can jump. You need to believe in yourself❤

Willow really enjoyed his jumping karen. You did great. Yes a few jumping lessons will give you a lot of confidence..its not all about competitions with horses. Its just about having fun and enjoying yourselves...❤❤❤Willow is stunning Karen. Such a good boy❤
