    I'm so grateful that you're letting us see the parts of the show you initially didn't want to share because it wasn't "perfect." This makes it so relatable and real because so much of social media is cropped and edited and so misleading. Thanks for keeping it real with us. I'm really proud of both of you! 💕🐴💕🥕🍎

    Ooo I’m excited to watch this! Thanks for showing us it’s not always sunshine and rainbows with horses and social media!

    You guys did great for your first show!! My horse got down and rolled with me on her in the practice ring when we first walked in lol. It does get better with more lessons and building trust with each other! ❤ good boy Tucker!!

    It's actually really interesting to see things not going perfectly and someone commenting on what went wrong. And it shows strength of character to be able to deal with things not going right calmly so I'd say this video is a big success in its own right!
    Tucker is such an adorable little guy and he definitely did well for himself too :)

    Thank you for showing us the reality of doing a show for the first time! We are always told it’s ok to fail and to try again but social media paints a different picture in terms of only showing your accomplishments and none of the process it took to get there. Thank you for being real!!! Well done to you and tucker!!!

    I love your attitude about how he did! You are very fortunate to have a venue that lets you school around like that. Many shows around here, even the warmups, have the 2nd stop elimination rule which makes it extra stressful when you are trying to get a horse around a course at a show for the first time. The jumps always seem bigger at a show....always lol!

    I'm so glad you shared this!!! First shows are almost never perfect... my gelding and I just did walk trot for his first show. It had also rained that morning, and he'd never been in a rodeo sized arena/show environment. I thought he was going to lose it, but instead he walked calmly into the arena, and proceeded to plop right down on the ground with me on him. He didn't roll, but he just thought it was such a nice soft spot. One of the show attendants came by saying, "ma'am, you can't do that here. We have to reset all the equipment, and you're in the way" as we're on the ground... I almost died from embarrassment.

    I am proud of you and Tucker. We are all on a learning curve. What an adventure to do your first jumping class; what courage it took for both of you. Thank you for sharing this because it strengthens my sense of belonging, of being in a community of learning and support.

  • @LorryMLewis
    @LorryMLewis 2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    THIS SHOW WAS YOUR "LESSON"! Alvaro and I went to World Equestrian Center in Ocala yesterday and watched some Arabian and barrel racing events. It's an amazing place but sometimes misses the "point" of having a horse you love and doing the small fun things that really matter. It is not about trophies and ribbons and winning. Connecting with your horse and both of you having a blast is all that really matters❣

    Thank you so much for sharing this! This is a much more accurate representation of a horses first time out or a person who is new to showing! I really appreciate it because I am hesitant to go to shows for fear of not being totally 'ready', this inspires me to get out and give it a go!

    This is a great video. What I got out of it is that training takes a lot of time and work. And the process is more important than the result. As in life. You've been training Tucker consistently and with love and you both understand each other so well! So impressive! Thank you.

    I was doing an equitation flat for my first show and warming up my horse took a complete nosedive when he tripped over the footing. We were both having an incredibly off day and placed last but we tried our best! Thanks for posting a real view of his first show, not something airbrushed to perfection :)

    Dearest Carmella-This is EXACTLY why I love and admire you SO MUCH, and watch all your videos- because you keep it REAL-and relatable. I am SO glad that you posted the good bad and ugly (nothing was ugly!). When I get my next horse, I will continue to look to you for real advice and hope-AND LAUGHS AND LOVE. (PS-one thing I can really relate to is how certain things "feel" on your horse when you are riding and then you watch yourself on video and it looks so much easier --or "smaller"!) TUCKER IS A VERY GOOD BOY!!!!🤩🥰😍💘💝💖💗💓💞💕❣❤🧡💛💚💙💜🤎🤍💯!!! YAY FOR YOU BOTH!!

    @brigidnewton5939 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    Well done for showing how it actually goes, not just the "pony movie: wins jumper class at first attempt ". I think that you have the right attitude, it was a schooling show and you know what to work on for next time and have that lesson 👍😊🏇 Tucker is as cute as a button and reminds me of our Connemara pony, without complete conviction going into the jump, he'll slow down and look 👀

  • @kingskand
    @kingskand 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    That was fun. My mare has a similar flighty personality to Tucker... just enough to kind of think everything is scary even though she is quite broke. I have been taking lessons and my trainer asked if I ever wanted to show and I first was like, nah, just want to chill. But the more I thought about it, maybe just as a "get out and get experience" way, maybe.
    I used to show successfully in my teens, but am more realistic now (30 years later). Hehe.

  • @lynnes11
    @lynnes11 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    I'm so glad that you see this as an accomplishment, because that's what it is! As someone who competes quite a bit at both low-key schooling shows as well as recognized shows, I agree that it is so important to have REASONABLE expectations when showing, just like you did here! (Personally, I have a difficult time being reasonable hahaha). Just like posting the trot or anything else we learn on our horse, showing is a skill that takes practice. My horse always feels different off property and I feel different too 😂 I'm so glad you shared this and had such a positive experience, you guys got out there and did great!

  • @SeaWasp
    @SeaWasp 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    Way to go guys! This stuff is tough. I've shown now twice during our super mellow Friday night shows. Between remembering everything to do with your posture, not stopping riding, the course, not tensing up, having an audience, and your horse's opinion about where it wants to go, I reckon something's gotta give haha 😅 And this is with really awesome lesson horses

    Yinz did really great. If you sit up straighter between jumps and bring down tucker's head a bit between jumps and bring his head back up a few strides before, might help before your lessons start.Yinz did really great. scrunching up between jumps affects you and tucker.🏇

    OK so it isn’t an ‘insta’ version of horse shows but it wasn’t that bad at all. Those last 2 jumps were nice and smooth and end on a positive👍 I think it’s good experience for him. Nothing went dreadfully wrong and it’ll be easier for you to build up confidence from here after a drama free low key trip out. Mostly positive in my mind✅ x

  • @martylesnick2032
    @martylesnick2032 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    Please you need a 14 ft rope to keep you safe. He really was so scared, he was so impressive putting his faith in you and going around the course. Going over a second time just shows he is a really honest fellow and will try for you. Too bad about the missed lesson. He's a great little horse you can be proud of him. Susan
