- I am so grateful to the effort of the Shuckburgh Hall endurance ride organisers that it was able to go ahead. The weather made what is normally a tough job even tougher, with marking and choosing a safe route but they pulled it off when so many equestrian events had to cancel and I would like to thank them and everyone that made the ride happen for their hard work.
Shuckburgh was more of an old school endurance ride, we're very spoilt sometimes with excellent going on non-technical terrain and although I love those rides sometimes it's fun to mix it up. It had a very varied mix of tracks, set aside, bridleway and quiet lanes, I think it may have been less technical if the ground hadn't been so wet and soft but the conditions called for more care and a slower pace. It did have a fair few gates but most of them were manned with lovely volunteers and there wasn't one that I would have had to get off for.
Estrid was brilliant! She was much better at the venue, not perfect but definitely an improvement on the first 40km she did with lower starting and finishing heart rates. Best of all our trot up was straight this time! Out on course she was on fire! She rode in a pack, in a pair, by herself, in front, at the back, in the middle, side by side. I coulnd't have been prouder. She was more patient at the crew points, even if she did throw sugar beet over Dan, and she even managed her first slosh without any drama.x
She is naturally fast, and although as a novice I would prefer to be going between 10-12kph it just doesn't work for her. She did an average speed of 13kph, made possible by doing a fair bit of walk, for this ride and she didn't even puff once, she never felt tired and she certainly didn't look tired when we were back at the venue. I really enjoyed the fact she seemed to be enjoying herself and I had a lovely ride, albeit a tad spooky, there were several occasions where I surprised myself with my staying on abilities.
Her personal performance was enough to make me grin from ear to ear but when I heard we had also won the Performance Formula I genuinely couldn't have been happier. I really love that EGB have used the Performance formula throughout all levels of endurance now, it means that although you don't have to be competitive you can be and it really adds a bit of icing to the cake with the sense of pride and achievement. Thanks to Baileys Horse Feeds for my wonderful prizes and Lucy for getting them to me as I had to dash off to an 80th Birthday party!
Thanks for watching,
Beth

Well done Beth, Estrid did amazingly well. What a star!
Wooohooooo!!! Congrats on another great ride and for Estrid winning the prize for best horse or whatever it was she won. She is turning into a good endurance pony and can't wait to see her move up the levels.
Binging all your videos lol. I absolutely LOVE your videos, and I really love your personality!
Awww thanks 🥰 x

🎉congrats🎉
I feel like Tissy has finally decided to share her secrets to success out in the paddock to a pony she deemed worthy. Good job and way to go!
Let's hope so 🤞 x
Huge congratulations!! 🎉 Well done, both of you! Also, your joy is just infectious. I loved watching this. Thanks for sharing the journey. ❤
She did so good!!! Congrats on the prize!
Has she settled on one of the new bits yet?
What exactly do you feed your horses? Could you make a video on that topic? I suppose not only I would be interested in learning more about that?
Same! She's got older videos on her feeding program, but an update would be interesting!
Hey, I'll look into doing a new feed video 👍 I went for the hanging cheek in the end. X
@@bethendurance Thanks for both answers! I had a feeling the hanging cheek would be the one. 🙂
Looking forward to the update!
CONGRATULATIONS!! I felt proud FOR you, it's awesome watching her grow into the wonderful horse she is! How'd the bit do? And Dan's the man, taking a slobber shower for the team!
Aww thanks! Yeah she seems happy in it at the moment 🤞 x
I wish they had the numbers like this in the USA. Here we have to draw on our horses with a livestock greasy crayon. 🖍️ 😂
We have to do that for races and FEI but the shorter distances only have to wear the numbers. The livestock crayon used to smudge everywhere on my grey 🙈 x
Are you guys allowed to carry a whip with you, I compete in endurance in New Zealand and we’re not allowed whips or spurs
Race riders aren't allowed either but graded riders can carry a whip n bit not spurs x
