Wow, that was an amazing recovery, Janae -- well sat. Percy is such a cutie. And Milo in his mary-janes, so handsome and so capable. You can tell his feet aren't bothering him at all now without shoes. He looks amazing, so bold and beautiful (and he looks so handsome in green). Your mom's commentary, as always, is so sweet. It's funny how now when I listen to her say "good kid" I know she's talking to Milo :)
And, I almost forgot, Milo's "automatic or self-loading" at the beginning is enormously impressive (Percy's too). Your horses are so well-trained and bomb-proof, Selby. It's always so nice to see.
I keep saying this and I'll say it again: I can NOT believe how much braver Milo's become over the past few years! I remember when he used to refuse plain white jumps in a new setting. Just goes to show what some patience and kindness will do.
Yesss. All the horses at my barn are barefoot. We sometimes use the boots and we all show 1m++. Solid hooves, no pulled shoes, money saver, it’s glorious. We all use the scoot boots 😊 Did I mention they’re all thoroughbreds!
awesome vlog!!! loved seeing the boys warm up as they went!! and the way milo "celebrates" after every jump ❤❤❤ the tacking up section was so cute too!! such great personalities and bonds
Lovely little peak into part of a day with you. You've done a wonderful job with Milo Shelby. We know it came with hard work and caring for the needs emotionally and physically of your horse. Well done.
They are both looking so great. It is so good to see them in action again. Looks as though Milo is not having any trouble with his scoot boots and moving really well in them .🤩🤩🤩🤩
Very exciting seeing the progress he is making in his new boots. I'm transitioning my pony to bare feet using boots for hacking and hard ground. Feel like I'm going on the journey with you!
I had my horse barefoot for a couple of years and had similar boots like you do. Unfortunately she is very sensitive and she couldn't go in her pasture without them. And I think they are great if you live where its more dry or snowy and icy. But here in Sweden its always muddy and I rarely ride or work her indoors, always outside on hacks. And then the mud and stones got inside the boots and hurt her that way instead. Now she has regular shoes, even though I'm not thrilled about it she is more comfortable and can be outside with her friends all the time ❤ You gotta find what works for you! We jumped in them too, worked well
Love the way you treat your horses! Even when Percy had a mistake you still praised him! Good horsemanship and you don't see a lot of that anymore sadly. Nice riding ladies!
Love Milo's prehensile lips... "Dose treats in dose pockets. I wants dem." Then you open the windows and you're like, Good ponies, here ya go. And then Milo's tongue is just making me laugh. "Treeeeeeats.... Or I could just eat Shelby."
Ok so I never comment on TH-cam videos but I just have to say how gorgeous both Milo and Percy are. Their coats and body condition are fantastic and are clearly a reflection of your hard work. Also, the bags for your Stirrup irons are genius!
Super excited for the new merch/riding gear!! I’m definitely gonna have to get a couple pairs of those gloves! Thanks for making them a reasonable price too♥️ Love&Light!
Shelby, how far Milo has come, well, is absolutely incredible. He is so forward and bold, he is so brave over oxers. Really cool and interesting video showing the great Scoot boots, and what you can do in them, in inclement weather, too.. My OTTB mare that I've had 6 months now, I pulled the aluminum plates she had on when she was at the track, 2 weeks after I brought her home in January. Well, she was okay during the rainy months, but she is turned out every day all day, and we haven't really had much rain since March, and the ground is so hard. I tried everything, even daily turpentine painting of her soles to toughen them up. ( old school farrier recommendation) unfortunately the barefoot experiment wasn't working, and she was just too tender every single day. So I had to put shoes back on her fronts.😔 Her soles were just too thin to handle the hard, rocky ground we have in Northern California. Maybe, I can try again to have my thoroughbred barefoot, unfortunately sometimes they need the extra support from shoes. ( I am a HUGE anti- shoe fan, so I didn't want to put them on her, but I had to, to make her more comfortable. ) I wish our ground was softer like yours in Canada, and I will also research the scoot boots too. Thanks!!
it was so funny, last Wednesday, my riding instructor was being asked a question during my lesson, and this was her reply " back boots are over rated" lol, my instructor is funny, but stern, idk how to put it but she is very patient and understanding with nervous horses and riders, but when horses give her nonsense and throw their butts around and stuff she takes non of it.
i think it would be so interesting to look into the psychology of horses more. they have emotions just like humans (they can be happy,sad,angry,etc) and i know they can be depressed so i’ve always wondered if there are horses who are psychopaths or sociopaths? i think there’s so much we don’t know about them even though there has been so much research and we’ve learned so much about them over the years. i’d love to hear your thoughts on it!!
That's really interesting to think about! I wouldn't say they have emotions JUST like humans (as in they don't have our exact kinds of emotions) but they certainly have a wider range of emotions than some people think.
Two things: 1) has Milo just gotten more chilled out lately? He looks fantastic!! I wonder if the break you gave him was just what he needed. On another note, I also wonder if his feet were bugging him due to thin soles? I'll be looking forward to your review on the scoot boots. But either way, he looks awesome. 2) holy damn I had to replay Janae's save (sorry if I spelled it wrong) over and over again. All four of you look great!!
Shelby Dennis thanks! I thought they looked harder to size I think you have to get shells and a bunch or crap to size them b it in the long run they seem better.
Milo and Percy are so cute! Will you be adding gloves in a smaller size to your store? I love the design but the size currently offered would be too large for me :(
I’m hoping to! It depends on the amount of interest since I pay out of pocket to get them so if they don’t all sell it’s a big financial hit since I have to order larger quantities
So with Standardbreds, when they jog daily it’s always the wrong way of the track and we only ever turn them the right way to school if they’re babies, train, or race. I was wondering if you do anything similar with the thoroughbreds or if they condition the right way of the track?
Sorry I didn’t catch it if you are using hoof boots as part of transitioning Milo to barefoot? Do you think you’ll be able to jump him without hoof boots eventually?
I’m not sure. He’d probably wear them at shows regardless for traction, he’s barefoot out in the field so wearing hoof boots for riding is no different that leg protection or wraps IMO, so taking them off to jump and show isn’t a priority
Hi Shelby! I feel like as Milo is flying over the jumps, hes saying "I'm supermaaaaan!" 😂😂 I could watch you ride around on him all day long. They both look great!! Give em some extra lovins from me, please!! 😊 take care & stay safe!
I suppose it’s a good thing the saddle pads and horses were dry then. As for getting rained on, I really don’t know what you’d suggest to avoid them both getting wet.
aresblue Ok, from standing beside the trailer in the rain for 5 minutes.... im not sure how you would expect anyone to ride year round if a slightly damp horse would make you fear for their safety. If your tacks fits, it should never rub so if this happens to you, I would highly recommend getting a saddle fitter out because your saddle does not fit if dampness worries you. Horses also sweat during work so even on dry days, their saddle pads are never going to come off perfectly dry and same with their coats.
@@Milestone-Equestrian oh ok, I never knew because on your insta you're always answering questions about why Milo has them but never Percy so I didn't know he had the same issue 😅
Susan Tescione I’m not sure how you’d know what he’s usually like as I’ve not posted any vlogs of him off property...? He’s been schooled off property twice and is a 4 year old standing in crossties for the first time, his behaviour in this video certainly is not unusual for him or any horse of his age at all. He’s actually very level headed and quite phenomenally brave considering his lack of experience and young age.

Idk why but “hi *feeds cookie through window*” was absolutely hilarious
i was wheezing omg.. the way they each accepted the cookie was so funny too
Literally I laughed too much too🤣
Percy at 9:57: “the jump, the jump, the jump, ThE JuMP!! Why the heck did that not work?” 😂
Tiktok references allllll day.
Wow, that was an amazing recovery, Janae -- well sat. Percy is such a cutie. And Milo in his mary-janes, so handsome and so capable.

I know, my heart was in my throat, I thought she was going down! What an awesome rider!
@@anakruger2412 Who’s name is this video is Janae? Sorry, just curious since I share that name lol
Wow all that dressage schooling has paid off! How strong is his canter now!
I love how excited he gets when he clears the jumps 😂😂😂
And, I almost forgot, Milo's "automatic or self-loading" at the beginning is enormously impressive (Percy's too). Your horses are so well-trained and bomb-proof, Selby. It's always so nice to see.

9:51 ohhhh my well sat!
Stineshorsejumping okay, for some reason i did NOT expect to see you here xD
Okay, Milo is just blowing everything out of the water. What a strong, confident jump session off property... Amazing!
Yesss. All the horses at my barn are barefoot. We sometimes use the boots and we all show 1m++. Solid hooves, no pulled shoes, money saver, it’s glorious. We all use the scoot boots 😊 Did I mention they’re all thoroughbreds!
Aha I love this “ if he stop it’s 100% my fault be cause I’m riding like an idiot” 😂
How do you usually care for your saddle and other leather equipment after you ride in the rain?
I’ll clean it with a regular cleaner and then condition and possibly oil it depending on how wet it gets
These are probably my most favorite clips of Milo!! He looks so confident!
They look so healthy and happy. I love how you give them cookies. Percy has so much more loft to his stride now.
Percy's canter looks so nice to sit through lol
Ohhh Pogo and Percy sharing a bucket of food is so cute!!! If that’s not real bromance, I don’t know what is!!!
awesome vlog!!! loved seeing the boys warm up as they went!! and the way milo "celebrates" after every jump ❤❤❤ the tacking up section was so cute too!! such great personalities and bonds
That green pad goes so good with Milo's coloring. He's a pretty boy. Good to see you out and riding again.
Lovely little peak into part of a day with you. You've done a wonderful job with Milo Shelby. We know it came with hard work and caring for the needs emotionally and physically of your horse. Well done.
Milo jumps over obstacles as if he was just a doe stotting on a meadow and living its best life! 😍
They are both looking so great. It is so good to see them in action again. Looks as though Milo is not having any trouble with his scoot boots and moving really well in them .🤩🤩🤩🤩
3:48 this panning of the camera was super satisfying
He's matured so much it's awesome. And you can see how your equitation has improved and how that's helping too and that's also awesome!
Very exciting seeing the progress he is making in his new boots. I'm transitioning my pony to bare feet using boots for hacking and hard ground. Feel like I'm going on the journey with you!

Milo is such a different horses compared to when I first started watching your videos. You have worked magic on him!
WOW Janae that was a HELL of a save lol
Percy is gonna be such a fancy bb I can’t wait to see where your and Janae’s training takes him!
Love Milo's prehensile lips... "Dose treats in dose pockets. I wants dem." Then you open the windows and you're like, Good ponies, here ya go. And then Milo's tongue is just making me laugh. "Treeeeeeats.... Or I could just eat Shelby."

Percy has so much action and lovely movement, he will be a superstar when he’s fully developed🤩
Percy is the cutest! Definitely a hunter
there is NOTHING i love more than a wee bit of Milo sass

It’s amazing the progress you’ve made with milo this year🤩 Where is the saddle pad percy is using in this video from?
Vencedora equestrian
“If he stops it’s 100% my fault cause I’m riding like an idiot today” if that’s not a mood Idk what is
Where is your rain jacket from? I really like the pleating in the back, it looks like a show coat!
The one I’m wearing over top in the beginning is Eddie Bauer and then the one I ride in is Asmar
@@Milestone-Equestrian Thanks so much. That Asmar jacket is awesome!
Two things:
1) has Milo just gotten more chilled out lately? He looks fantastic!! I wonder if the break you gave him was just what he needed.

2) holy damn I had to replay Janae's save (sorry if I spelled it wrong) over and over again. All four of you look great!!
Yep, he’s always had thin soles which is why barefoot has been a huge adjustment but we are also fixing low under run heels
Yes really enjoyed the video and both of them are looking very good 👍😎🐝
Hey Selby milo was so awesome and crie was so awesome too Love say to your mom for stay safe and Healthy too
I have Cavallo boots and tbh I hate them, they rub my gelding and are very clunky. Do you like scoots better? Have they rubbed yet?
Lena Hyltonnn they haven’t rubbed yet and are definitely better for a lighter and lower profile boot but they’re harder to size
Shelby Dennis thanks! I thought they looked harder to size I think you have to get shells and a bunch or crap to size them b it in the long run they seem better.
Another options is renegades. They have the light weight viper model and they aren’t as light as the scoot boots but are much easier to size.
milo is insaneeee !!!!
Milo and Percy are so cute! Will you be adding gloves in a smaller size to your store? I love the design but the size currently offered would be too large for me :(
I’m hoping to! It depends on the amount of interest since I pay out of pocket to get them so if they don’t all sell it’s a big financial hit since I have to order larger quantities
Shelby Dennis oh ok! Thanks 😊
He looked great
The person leading the bay is mood
Hi Shelby! I’m just wondering, what brand is that blue jacket you’re wearing?
Asmar equestrian
I love milos saddle pad, where’s it from? ⭐️
It’s from Dapple Equestrian
Pine green is perfect on Milo!
Which is the brand of your hoof boots? Thanks!
Goodest boys🌟
So with Standardbreds, when they jog daily it’s always the wrong way of the track and we only ever turn them the right way to school if they’re babies, train, or race. I was wondering if you do anything similar with the thoroughbreds or if they condition the right way of the track?
We can’t gallop them backwards but they do jog backwards but otherwise do their works the same direction they race
The end of the video 😂
percy is such a pretty boy!!
Can anyone recommend some good reading/books on farrier care? I'd like to be more able to assess the farrier work done on my animals.
Are all of your horses Ottbs, if so how did you get them so calm, my little Ottb mare raced for 2 years and she is not very calm, any tips?
Most of them are. They’re all turned out 24/7 and I stress lots of flat work to get relaxation before they jump.
Shelby Dennis good advice, I will try to start putting her in turnout for longer
Sorry I didn’t catch it if you are using hoof boots as part of transitioning Milo to barefoot? Do you think you’ll be able to jump him without hoof boots eventually?
I’m not sure. He’d probably wear them at shows regardless for traction, he’s barefoot out in the field so wearing hoof boots for riding is no different that leg protection or wraps IMO, so taking them off to jump and show isn’t a priority

how the heck did she get the stirrup so fast?!
What type of footing is that?! Seems to be great even when wet. Bluestone? I can’t tell. 🤔
It’s a sand mix
Shelby Dennis thank you!
How tall is Percy? Such long leggies
He’s 15.2
Is it an american/Canadian thing to open halters by the poll strap? Here in Denmark we always use the chin clip
these halters don’t have the clip so they can only be taken off by the strap
@@Milestone-Equestrian that's so interesting! Thank you
Can we get an update with n Roulette
No sorry, it isn’t my place to share info from past clients on such a public channel.
you’re SO SWEET 🤩🤩
💚💚💚
Might just be me but I would not put a wet saddle pad on a wet horse...might be uncomfortable for him and rub.
I suppose it’s a good thing the saddle pads and horses were dry then. As for getting rained on, I really don’t know what you’d suggest to avoid them both getting wet.
@@Milestone-Equestrian the horse was wet he had a big wet patch on his back and side..and you put the saddle pad on top.

Why does Percy have hoof boots too?
Because they’re for the same purpose of hoof protection for him, just like for Milo.
@@Milestone-Equestrian oh ok, I never knew because on your insta you're always answering questions about why Milo has them but never Percy so I didn't know he had the same issue 😅
Grace Purewal They don’t have the same issues with their feet, they’re just both barefoot and hoof boots serve the same purpose for protection
@@Milestone-Equestrian I'm wrong again 😳😂 can you use them for riding on roads because people always say horses need shoes for road riding?🤔
Grace Purewal Yes you can
The booties look like Mary Janes!
When you start making millions off of TH-cam, can you hire your mom as the official video/commentator person?
Milo be like :p
Why are your stirrups so short? By the look of it they should be a bit longer? That must be straining on your thighs, lol
I am assuming it is because she is an exercise jockey so is used to riding with short leathers. (I am happy to be corrected tho😀)
Percy seems really antsy in this video, even while grooming. He's usually so much calmer. Milo looks gorgeous. He's really filled out.
Susan Tescione I’m not sure how you’d know what he’s usually like as I’ve not posted any vlogs of him off property...?
