Congratulations on moving up to novice level.

2 rosettes!!! Well done!! ✨️💖🎉🎉

Freddie is looking amazing! 😍

I consider Freddie to be essential viewing and so therefore this is my first video of the day. Good morning from Australia 🌏🦘🪃🐨.

I know I’m 2 years late 😅 but I found this video as I’m hoping to take my exracer to his 3rd event at poplar this September. Do you use calmers with your boy at all or? Any tips as mine is very hot and we have a ditch problem!

Oh bless you both what a crappy day for it. Well done, some great riding! He's looking fab! Facilities look amazing!

Well done danielle and Fred! And Rob - what a saint in that weather!! Really well-ridden, we all know how it feels to lack confidence, but you are going from strength to strength again xx

So nice to see you and Freddie out and about.

So chuffed for you!! The only thing I would say is try to keep him between your hands and legs. When you came to the ditch, you needed to support him a bit to show him that it wouldn't hurt. Horses suffer from PTSD if they've had pain in their back for any reason. So they think, if I do that, it's going to hurt. So they stop dead. That's where you need to be a bit stronger with the legs to move them on. Same when you came out of the water and headed to the jump after it. He went into the water just fine, but you lost contact with your legs, and he didn't feel secure enough to jump the jump after the water. I was so chuffed to see you represent it to him again by going through the water and presenting the jump again. The second time, you kept contact with your legs, Freddie felt your confidence, and he jumped it fine. Do you see what I'm saying? He needs that leg contact to make him feel your confidence to take the jump. When your leg isn't there, he avoids the jump. But overall, I was really chuffed to see you both out there jumping together again!! The 2 stallions I've been training for 3 years have gone to 2 shows so far this summer over here. One was a straight Show Jumping Show of 1.05m, and the other was a Combined Dressage/Show Jumping Show. They've done very well at both shows. The second show was 1.10m. Magician's Calypso had a score of 76 2 in Dressage, and Pete's Dragon, and yes, that's his registered name, LOL 😂, had a score of 75 5. They went double clear in the show jump and came first and second in their second show ever!! I've already started doing some cross-country training fences of only 90 cm right now with them both for maybe the end of the season. People couldn't believe that they were stallions either. There were a lot of mares in season at the shows, and they totally ignored them!! But I've been bringing them to shows for the last 2 years to get them used to the atmosphere of the grounds and the sounds. They couldn't believe it!! They all thought they were geldings because of how they acted!! So chuffed with the boys!! They are the same age and are half-brothers. Anyway, just playing catch up with you. Again, so chuffed for you!! Your friend, the Retired Paramedic and Horse Trainer in Ontario, Canada, Jenn 💖 🇨🇦

So happy that Freddie's back has fully recovered. Fingers crossed for my horse's sacroiliac issue. So keen to watch that I'm watching this on my phone because I have a family member visiting.

What a great day to have a jump lesson!!! You looked like you were having fun!! Which I'm so chuffed to see!! And Freddie looked raring to go!!! Your friend, the Retired Paramedic and Horse Trainer in Ontario, Canada, Jenn 💖 🇨🇦 PS I took one of the stallion brothers to his first show this past Saturday. We did 2 classes of 1 m 05 , and he never touched a rail in either class!! Out of 52 horses, at his first show, he came 4th overall !! We had ppl stopping by afterward, while his owners were there, telling them what a gem he was and what a "stunning looking "gelding" they had!! They were stunned to learn he was a stallion!!! Not once did he call out to any of mares in season, not once did he blow hinself up, he was a perfect gentleman!! I trailered him to shows, along with his half brother, another stud, to shows, for the last 2 years. I'd pay entrance fees for the shows, but withdraw as soon as we arrived, but I'd tack up, then ride them around the show grounds, getting them used to the sights and smells and ride them around. Then, if they started to act up, act like a stud in any way, I'd say, That'll do, with a slight growl in my voice, but with a light contact on their mouth. They go in a low port Mylar bit. It works for them. And when they would relax, we'd walk on. But, next weekend, on Saturday, it's his brothers first show. So we'll see how that goes!! You did well. Keep that in mind. At least you are trying!! Keep trying. It'll all work out. Just remember the rules. 1 Breathe and 2. HAVE FUN and 3. See 1 & 2!!! Your friend, the Retired Paramedic and Horse Trainer in Ontario, Canada, Jenn 💖

What a fantastic lesson Danielle!! I actually watched it the whole way through which is unlike me - will have to talk to you about it when I see you! Well done for putting on your brave pants!

What a lovely sunny day you had for riding, makes a nice change from all the rainy vlogs people have been posting this year! ☀️

Fab to see you out having some fun! Take your time and enjoy it x

So glad to see you and Freddie having fun. It's good news that your lorry is running well again.

There's nothing wrong with how you are getting your confidence back!! And don't let anyone tell you any different!! Freddie still enjoyed the outing. He still obviously enjoys jumping, and so do you!! Building confidence after a fall is different for everyone. And if you are comfortable doing it this way, then you do it this way!! Just remember to present Freddie to the jumps from both reins, and all will be well. Good job!! I'm so chuffed to see that smile at the end!! Your friend, the Retired Paramedic and Horse Trainer in Ontario, Canada, Jenn 💖 🇨🇦

Very nice so enjoyable Xx

Woooo go Fred!! He’s got wings!!!!

Ah, it must have been fab seeing him popping those fences! It will give you so much confidence knowing he can do it after seeing it....looking forward to when you're back on board and gaining that confidence.

Sometimes, when you feel you've lost confidence, it's wise to get someone else to ride your horse so you can actually see what's going on. You're being very wise here. Letting Harry take him on. To take him to a few shows, let him get his feet wet again with jumping with someone more experienced, then take lessons to get your confidence back. Who knows? Maybe by the end of this year, we'll be seeing you do an 80 cm course!! I think that would be bloody brilliant!! I know how hard it is when you've lost confidence in yourself, but Freddie showed no signs of a sore back at all. He was actually taking Harry to the fences!! Which is a good thing. It shows he's still keen to jump!! Your friend, the Retired Paramedic and Horse Trainer in Ontario, Canada, Jenn 💖 🇨🇦

You have done exactly the right thing, if you were feeling nervous then Freddy would get that from you, let him regain his confidence that jumping is not stressing or painful then you will be a different rider xx

Freddles has got some pop in him!! How high were thise jumps??!!! 💖💖

That was really interesting. So glad that you have such great help with Freddie.

Well done Freddles! He's looking super these days 🤩

Such an interesting lesson. Your videos are a must watch. Sir Freddie is one of the nicest horses on TH-cam.

Well done! Me and Sam have been saying we’d like to go. Let us know when you go again x

You took in a lot. Those shoulder in's were really starting to look really good by the end. And the trot work, Freddie did that very well. You just have to remember to sit the canter and make a channel with your hands and legs for Freddie to stay straight. That will help you both out. Your friend, the Retired Paramedic and Horse Trainer in Ontario, Canada, Jenn 💖 🇨🇦

He looks fab! Well done.

You looked great with Freddie. And I'm sure what you commented in your voice-over was correct. That he had his tongue over the bit. That's what it looked like to me, as a former FEI Judge. And I think the scores were quite fair as well. Work on that center line, though, and that will greatly improve your mark, as well as getting him around your leg more in your circles, for a more supple look.

He did really well and he looks so good. Good morning from Australia 🌏🦘. First coffee ☕ of the day and it's still dark.

Do the judges make concessions for age, experience etc, or are they judging on what they think it should look like? If so you can see your own improvement and take the good bits and work on the comments bits! Go point to point racing, it's much more friendly and fun,bit painful sometimes lol xx

Well done he looked great xx

Well done!! You did a fab job 👏🏻

Gone up gullet size!!! Frustrating as regards saddle fit but proof that all the work that you are doing to improve his back and topline is working.

Looks like Freddles was spooking at the horse in the arena next to you when he was hopping around during the Prelim test.

It's so nice to see Freddie progressing so well.

He is looking fab!

Go mooey cob!! What a superstar! Well done all x

I would have had a meltdown too if I had been in your situation. Onwards and upwards for Freddie. Miss Macey is so awesome 💯

You looked great on Miss Macey!! You couldn't tell after you warmed her up that she was 22 years old at all!! And she seemed to enjoy that outing as much as you did!! I hope you feel well soon!! And i hope you at least weren't too ill for Easter dinner!! Your friend, the Retired Paramedic and Horse Trainer in Ontario, Canada, Jenn 💖 🇨🇦

Beautiful sleepy 😴 boy ❤

Were you trying to catch Freddie, and he was saying not yet!!?? LOL 🤣 Just going on your giggles, I think that's the case!! LOL 🤣 Your friend, the Retired Paramedic and Horse Trainer in Ontario, Canada, Jenn 💖 🇨🇦

Careful Freddie doesnt decide to roll with you!! That water looks a bit chilly!! LOL 🤣 Your friend, the Retired Paramedic and Horse Trainer in Ontario, Canada, Jenn 💖 🇨🇦

A Freddie video!!! Such a great way to start the day.

So chuffed for you!! Very well done!! It could have been a lot worse, and you did very well to ride him through the difficult, tense moments. You can see him relax as the second test went on. Very good comments from the judges as well, I thought, all things considered. Again, well done to you and Freddie!!
