Gabby is looking good with the full seat!! Her and Chino will be able to benefit from it. And it could be useful in shows if the judge asks for a full seated canter
Laura - Brandon said they could use… Me - what? What did he say they could use, please say. Laura - ends video Me - WAIT!!!! What did he say they could use?
Have you considered having and equine dentist check out chino? Not just a vet but, a vet that specializes in dentistry? Maybe something is going on that makes him want to keep opening his mouth. Usually when a horse opens like that you’d have to be pulling pretty hard, especially for a snaffle which I don’t think Gabby does, even if it is one rein more than the other.
Great job gabby and chino you 2 look amazing together ! Ahhh I have my first show in 5 days tomorrow I’m so nervous I’m doing walk/trot cross rails ! And I have my first group lesson tomorrow
I think there is one that Fiona really wants her to use but Gabby doesn’t like it?? I’m not for sure I can’t remember exactly which one is called what 😂
@@cnkequestrian5789 There was one that Fiona said was pincy on some horses but Chino liked it, but then Laura kept calling it a pincy bit and I think Gabby also thinks so too. Idk, I'd trust Fiona more on this lol
Tough, but exactly what’s needed to try and get Chino to use himself a little more and build some strength, well done Gabby👍🏻 It does appear that he’s quite lazy with his feet over smaller jumps, but picks up more over something a little bigger. As I’m sure you know, even the top jumpers don’t spend the whole time jumping huge fences, they school over lower, do grids, other exercises to help improve the horses way of going 😊 Out of interest Laura, what bit does it appear that Chino is going best in? So far, although Gabby wasn’t keen, he seemed to go best in the copper roller, although not sure if you tried the myler and what bit of Brandaan’s you used? There really are so many to choose from, keeping in mind what is competition legal and hopefully you have been able to determine what’s the right path to be going down, due to his mouth shape, tongue size etc in terms of the mouthpiece shape eg, jointed/lozenge//link/straight/mullen to name a few, plus then what it’s actually made of. I don’t think you can expect miracles straight away, he might always have a tendency to open his mouth at times, but you should be able to see his reaction and Gabby should be able to feel it too and so maybe you’ll be able to narrow it down to a few to persevere with. Good luck 😊
the raised trotting poles were a great idea for Chino and it was quite noticeable that he was aware of where his legs were. Gabby still looks like she is power posting, just try to post with the movement of the horse. coming in off the corner is not in Chino's favour as he needs assistance to balance through the corner. Yep, the right hand crosses over the neck, making it useless. I do notice that Chino is going beyond the point of his head being perpendicular with the ground, ie his head is getting closer to his titties. When that happens that means any contact you had is not there and the horse is getting away from it. Was the whole lesson on a circle? the approach on the circle is throwing both Gabby and CHino off. that's a lot of hard work for CHino who is still developing core and figuring out to carry himself. I don't make suggestions on the bit for the particular reason that it's a very fickle thing to figure out. I do think riding Chino in a flash would help though.
love the full seat! speaking of which, does anyone have some tips on half seating? whenever i try it feels awkward and like i'm not doing it properly. thanks!
Make sure you know the difference between leaning forward out of the saddle and a half seat. Try to imagine a string is pulling you out of the saddle while someone is pushing your shoulders back so you don’t lean. Gabby had a very leany halfseat. I’d also do lots of no stirrups and two pointing at the trot to build your lower leg. Also make sure you’ve got a solid deep seat before you start half seating. We can see form gabby that she started halfseating very early since that’s really what she’s best at. Her deep seat is sloppy.
Try looking at Neue Scheule or Bomber bits too. Nina is fussy about her bit too and she went well in a Neue Scheule loose ring snaffle but the bit she’s in now which she loves is a Bomber Dressage Swivel and it makes her go so well. She used to throw her head all the time and open her mouth to get away from the bit but in her Bomber bit she is really happy. Worth looking at some for Chino there are loads of different options from both companies.
@@chloe_the_belgian_warmbloo9523 I’m not sure as hunters isn’t a thing in the uk you’d have to look it up but they come in all different types so there might be something that is legal 🤷🏻♀️
Gabby please don't ever change!! I love your personality! Gabby reminds me of my 9 year old daughter in terms of personaity...very sarcastic and witty and will call everyone out on it. I love how everything is Coffee's fault...tell Gabby her theory is flawed though...I drink coffee and my boobs have yet to grow..lol It doesn't matter than I am a 39 year old woman does it? lol Wait can I blame coffee for a lot of my issues? maybe that is the reason I have not grown taller...hmmm maybe Gabby is onto something afterall. I love Gabby saying "yea we wont listen to you guys anymore about the bit.." You do you Gabby...you do you! I totally appreciate her honesty and rawness. I wish there were more Gabby's in the world because then people would know where they stand..right? It beats the people who just say what they say to appease people. I like truth..it doesn't matter how much it hurts, it beats lies!
Hi Laura, been enjoying all the videos - you really do an amazing job videoing. Also, Gabby looks amazing - her and Chino are going to go far together. My scripture for this evening 😊 “Jesus, the Anointed One, is always the same-yesterday, today, and forever. So don’t let anyone lead you astray with all sorts of novel and exotic teachings. It is more beautiful to feast on grace and be inwardly strengthened than to be obsessed with dietary rules which in themselves have no lasting benefit.” Hebrews 13:8-9 TPT PeaceAndLove Lori
They will make a whole video when they do. Based on what I've seen over the last years. "Goodbye Stormy Boy! 😢😢😢" or something like that. It's too big an event not to make it into a title.
I have had an awful and very emotional/disappointing/disturbing passed few hours and this really makes me feel better and I’m just upset with my community as well so hopefully this will put a smile on my face and hopefully the rest of the week will be better for me I have dressage training tomorrow and jumping Thursday and those usually make me happy. I hope everyone had a good day and I will see ya next time I decide to share things 🖤bye
Love seeing Gabby working in a full seat at the canter! They're both looking great!
I love all the strength training Gabby and Chino are doing!💪So good for him.
Yayyyy full seat!! Gabby will totally benefit from working in full seat more often :)
Can you guys please loosen chinos throat latch
It’s loose :)
Ok I just wanted to make sure

Oh I just realized maybe it was about storm and the lesson program. I don’t know though
Yes it's about Brandon leasing stormy
I love this intro better than the other one I got to admit
My first comp is in less than two weeks, I’m super unprepared and I’m very nervous 😅
Love you guys 💜
you'll be great! 💞

Gabby has improved so much
Laura, what bits have you tried on Chino so far, like what mouthpieces? Hopefully you guys can find one that works for him soon!

Probably never

Why does chino have the martingale on did he do anything
They show in it. It’s dress code for hunter over fences
@@chloe_the_belgian_warmbloo9523 ohhh ok that makes sense

In that case, I’ll be drinking coffee 24/7😩😂
Hiii
Have you tried various non jointed bits?
Wow… My first time early! Can i get pinned??? I never got pinned on dbd💗✨

Have u thought of trying a flash or grackle noseband to stop him opening his mouth?
It’s not allowed in the hunters
Nosebands are horrible, it only occult the problem
@@luciaaiello5545 no.. nosebands aren’t an issue. Added things could be for some horses.
Why would you use a noseband to forcibly shut a horses mouth when they're opening their mouth to relieve pressure of the bit?
