I love these videos and you are my favourite equestrian youtuber because you keep it real. I look a lot worse than you coming back slowly after some injuries and I think it's so nice to see someone who is just a normal person trying her best. Thank you for taking us along!
Thank you for such a wonderful comment, I think you are exactly my target audience! I just want all of us, collectively trying our best, to have somewhere to come and hang out ❤️🤣
He’s such a super boy for a 5yr old. I’m loving that you are sharing your experience with Harley. It’s helping me, watching and learning from you. I am in a similar position with a 5yr old warmblood, new yard and surroundings, new coach, few issues getting sorted with chiropractor and massage therapy. Please keep sharing as your honesty and the knowledge you are picking up is massively helpful.
Thank you for sharing. So exciting that you are on a similar journey and I loved your language there of “knowledge you are picking up” as it’s exactly that! So much credit to my coach. ❤️
He's really changed in the last weeks. You can tell his work with the trainer, and your hacking etc has relaxed him lots. He's not as short in the neck or back and has a lovely easy pace. What a good boy. Those Irish know a thing or two about horses.
Rhi, you look amazing! We all struggle, and you’re very brave to share that with us. Well done you! He is so adorable! Love him and love that you’re back on TH-cam! ❤❤❤
Rhi don’t be so hard on yourself your doing amazing! Having a young horse is so much harder. You can see that the partnership between you and Harley is blossoming! Xx
He is such a good boy! Even his spook was reasonable and not over the top. He is truly a lovely gentleman. And I think we all have one side where we are a weaker rider, you at least recognize it and are working to fix it. You two seem like you are going to be a marvelous team and I am excited for his dressage test, I am sure you guys will be aces!
Totally - it was very reasonable and totally made sense that he might want to have a look. Thank you! I’m so excited for his test, even to just give him a nice experience 🥰
Awww you 2 are just the dream pairing!!! My god wait another 5 years 🤗 honestly I think you are amazing: for sharing, you look so good on him, and he looks absolutely stunning (always!) but just so much more relaxed and with you. Bloody hell, so so over the moon for you!! No one deserves to be happier than you! Xo
Oh what a lovely thing to read 🥹 I honestly want to shout “just you wait! We are going to be epic 🤣’. That’s the cool thing about a channel, you can see the progress ❤️
I love that you share real life!! You and Harley are already a good team, and it is so fun to watch you grow together. And how about that delightful square halt at the end of your lesson??? 😍😍😍
Thank you so much! I’m glad this style of vlog is popular. It means I can do more of them as I’m usually rushing around like I was in this one 🤣I thought people might not like it 🙊
Rhi you guys look great and you’re so thoughtful and articulate about your decisions and victories throughout your journey so girllll lol chill you’re 🔥👏🏼😊 11:37
Well done to you both , it is still difficult to share with thousands of us. Thank you, you show the true side to riding and owning a horse. I think you are both doing so well and it takes time to get to trust and know one another. 😊
As always, I think you’re doing a lovely job ❤ don’t be hard on yourself! As a fellow equestrian with a demanding job, it’s so refreshing to watch content from people who don’t have all day to spend with our horses!
Such a wonderful boy! That’s really interesting how his training is going with your trainer coupled with you. Thanks so much for sharing. The weather looked really cold and gloomy (it’s still hitting in the 80s F where I am), but the indoor arena looked cozy. You did so well during the spookiness session…I love how supportive you are of Harley as he’s learning to understand how your worlds will be working together going forward.
I have watched you ever since before getting Woody and from then and now you have grown so much as a rider and in your confidence! You are doing so well with Harley and i think you two are going to do amazing things in the future!🩷
Stop your a brilliant rider got a gorgeous horse I love the vologs learnt a lot when you had first had woody so probably I be shouting down my phone at you lol ❤
I loved this video and lesson, I'm weaker on the left rein and so is the horse I ride, just this week my instructor did the same thing with adding some trot poles and cones so we had direction! So excited to see your journey with Harley.
Your a great great rider ❤️ mich too harsh on yourself. Random question but i cant seem to find the answer anywhere! Does anyone know if the comfy barrel bit is harsh? Unsure wether to use it or not 😬 thanks 🥰
You're doing a great job, you shouldn't be so hard on yourself. You're a great rider trying your best for your young horse! Love watching these videos so thank you for sharing. Can't wait to follow your journey. Also, do you still have your red Equitex? That would look lovely on him 😍
You’re very kind, and glad to hear these videos are a hit! I’ll have to try and do more of them. I don’t have that one, good memory. That one happened to be a gift from Equitex - they weren’t able to sell it as it had a fault on it, but after I lost Woody I opted to give it back to them. That said, we may have a new colour or two on the horizon so stay tuned!
How are you filming yourself? Do you have a 'tame camera-person' or are you just really good with your phone? I'm pretty hopeless with a phone so I'd love to know how you do it! And I do enjoy your videos.
You underestimate yourself. You have a lovely seat and a good leg. Do your hands and arms need work? Sure. But soft hands are a hard skill to learn and sometimes that's a skill taught by a horse that may not be one you are comfortable with (My horse doesn't tolerate handy riders and it took years for me to get myself in order still. She was also completely inappropriate for me). You aren't claiming to be a professional by any means and you are actively training who could ask for more?
You're very kind - my hands are a difficult one, but i'm working hard on it! And sadly, some people seem to think that because you share your story on the internet, that you somehow feel you are better than you are, or that you must be open to any and all criticism regardless of what, or whom says it. I post to share what i learn as i go along and provide some relatable comfort, but as you say, i'm actively training and have a coach from whom I learn and take my feedback.

Never a truer word! ❤️
You are so brave and should be so proud and what progress!!! Love seeing you both together. ❤

Thank you! It’ll be cool to look back in a year and see where we are. And I know! He’s a clever poppet 😍
I love that you share the real you, you can see he trusts you and your building a beautiful relationship 🇦🇺

I also appreciate the bravery to share those vulnerabilities so forthrightly 😇🥳
He's such a super horse 🐎
Well done to you both , it is still difficult to share with thousands of us. Thank you, you show the true side to riding and owning a horse. I think you are both doing so well and it takes time to get to trust and know one another. 😊
Yes for sure, it can feel daunting! But I trust this community and the context we have set together. Thank you for your lovely words ❤️

Well done! You’re doing super and he is so lovely ❤
You’re doing really well both of you! Really enjoyed that. You do you, no need to make comparisons with others. 🥰
Yes, no need to apologize or explain yourself. I enjoy your authenticity and I am sure you are inspiring to many riders!

Stop your a brilliant rider got a gorgeous horse I love the vologs learnt a lot when you had first had woody so probably I be shouting down my phone at you lol ❤
Harley looks more relaxed, and I think you are too hard on yourself. You are both doing well in becoming partners
Thank you. I totally agree re relaxation - starting to soften in a nice way. Baby steps!
I loved this video and lesson, I'm weaker on the left rein and so is the horse I ride, just this week my instructor did the same thing with adding some trot poles and cones so we had direction! So excited to see your journey with Harley.
feels a little weird to not see a paint but i think the chestnut fixs in nicely. can't wait to see your journey x
🤍 lovely Woody. He might be gone but he will never been forgotten, my sweet angel. Harley is truly a gift from him.
Be proud, enjoy every moment.
❤️
I posted a halloween vlog at the stables bc u inspired me!❣

Hey! I film everything myself, but I use a Pivo Pod to film my riding lessons/riding sessions.
@@RidingWithRhi Pivo is a wonderful invention! And the rest that you film is very professional. Well done!
@@wingertstrasse1 thank you! I’m glad you think so.
Hi RHI, What breed is Harley?, he is just beautiful
He is a pure Irish Draught 🤍
Could you please tell me how big your horse arena is
Approx 20x40
