Respect to you that your main priority is Donut and his welfare. Too many people nowadays only bothered about getting a red rosette never mind the consequences. Both of your lives are worth far more than that and its nice to see someone who always has their horses welfare as their main priority. You are a very talented rider and i thoroughly enjoy watching your vlogs xx
I think that was a wise choice. There is a very solid chance you would have majorly regretted it if you’d tried to push through. Life’s too short for that.
So glad you withdrew - absolutely the right decision. The love, care and commitment you show to your horses is why the vlogs are so enjoyable. Well done.
Definitely the best decision to make. There is 25:32 always another competition with better conditions underfoot. No point in you or Donut getting a fright when he is so confident in himself just now. ❤🥰
So interesting to see your dressage changes, definitely see progress, my goodness from the start to end your poor mom had a most stressful day!! Smart choice to pull out!!! What a soggy month! Thanks for the journey ! You do wonderful vlogs !!
He's such a star, well done for putting him first! I've been in touch with Keyflow and they're sending out samples to my mare. I was worried about the soya content but they explained how it's all balanced out which is great. She's super picky but hopefully she will like it !
Ah amazing, yes I was planning on doing a video with my local rep on soya with Keyflow as I know it’s a big thing at the moment and it’s important to make sure everything is fed in the right way! I find they either love it straight away or they take a week - 10 days to settle in to eating it then they go bonkers for it. I assume this is due to it having much less sugar etc. Keep me posted with how you get on! X
I addmeryou for all the little thing's you do ,when trianing And warming UP. It's so good just to go and do what you can .And if you think withdrawing is right,AS there's all ways another day . Welldone with your dressage, good luck with all you do. Take care and all the best for your next event. 😊😊😊👍👍👍🐶🐶💖💟
Shame about the weather, such a fab venue. You most certainly made the correct call, Evie. You & dear Donut are far too precious to risk jumping in such a quagmire. It must be somewhat frustrating, but your dressage has undoubtedly cheered you up. Your poor Mum, it must have been terrifying driving without the side mirror🫣 Great job for being her 'eyes' - scary. Looking forward to what's next - Donut is looking fantastic & great to see Maggie too. Congratulations on your ambassador-ship👏👏Thanks for sharing, Evie 🤗
Love that you are tweaking your dressage body position to help him-he’s looong, and I’m sure it is helping him. Sprenger bits are the best/-a Sprenger bit made a definite difference for our mare.
Good call not to run cross country and endanger your or Donut’s life! I was just watching footage from Badminton 1992 and was HORRIFIED by the insane cross country course, and the number of rotational falls televised. I think only a third (maybe less) of the horse/rider combinations made it around the course. Even the best of the best couldn’t avoid falls on an impossible track in the pouring rain. I was absolutely disgusted by the fact that one rider had two horses in the competition. His first horse had such a terrible fall going cross country it had to be euthanized. But he STILL took his second horse out to run cross country! That shows to me how little some people care about their horses or the horses they ride. Clearly the course was INCREDIBLY dangerous, as illustrated by the death of this rider’s first horse. Who would take the chance with ANOTHER horse??? That is NOT a horseman. I HATE when people risk their horses’ welfare and their LIVES just for a rosette or a title. So good for you for being a good horsewoman!!!
@ELSEventing just seen the video and completely respect you for saving donut for another day and again having your horses best interests at heart. Full respect ❤

Thank you that is very kind x
Big fans of you and Donut!! All the best from Australia
That rain was awful!! Well done for withdrawing! 💖
Totally not worth putting you or your horse in jeopardy there will always be another horse show😊👍🐎
A good day with a good decision made. Many more events to enjoy his progress!
Great video. Great job. The weather will clear and you'll be ready.
I think that was a wise choice. There is a very solid chance you would have majorly regretted it if you’d tried to push through. Life’s too short for that.
Liking the dressage approach alot, thought the connection looks much improved ❤
So glad you withdrew - absolutely the right decision. The love, care and commitment you show to your horses is why the vlogs are so enjoyable. Well done.
Thank you so much ♥️
Good decision. It's a risky enough sport even in perfect conditions so there's no point in taking unnecessary risks. Well done.
Definitely the best decision to make. There is 25:32 always another competition with better conditions underfoot. No point in you or Donut getting a fright when he is so confident in himself just now. ❤🥰
Yes I really want to keep his confidence high! ♥️
How wise, if you had a bad run you can’t go back. X
Love that you and your mum always put your horses first ❤️ ♥️
Good decision
Love that these always come out during my lunch break!
Ah glad it's convenient! 🫶
I’m glad you put donut welfare first that’s more important
Smart decision. The horse always comes first, there's no point in risking life and limb.
So interesting to see your dressage changes, definitely see progress, my goodness from the start to end your poor mom had a most stressful day!! Smart choice to pull out!!! What a soggy month! Thanks for the journey ! You do wonderful vlogs !!
Haha yes it wasn’t mum’s favourite day 🙈
Thank you, I’m excited to see how much we can improve our scores 🤞🏻
Yes, a very wise decision. Always another day for the precious one.

It amazes me how much thought and science has gone into Sprenger bits. Really chuffed with how he’s going and hoping we will keep improving 🤞🏻♥️
I'm with Mom. Donut is a super star and we'll live to fight another day.
Great video 👍🏻 hope your friend Molly was ok ? Best decision to withdraw, I love how you brought it back to basics that we do it for fun 🤩
Yes Molly was fine, her horse had just lost confidence in the ground but they are fit and well to fight another day xx
omgggg i’m so earlyyyyy
Ayyyy first one here! Hope you enjoy x
Best decision to with draw, there is always an other day.
