something y’all need to work on is recognizing your mistakes in riding and not always blaming your horse. chino refused the jump because gabby was holding him back since she was nervous. you can see her approach to the jump was different from her normal hands forward light seat approach. all i have to say is being able to recognize that you’re the one doing something wrong and not the horse your riding will improve 10x.
@@The.Equestrian. no... she did not leg enough down the line which caused the distance to be too long, if chino jumped it they couldve flipped. get educated before even trying to comment
I’m seeing some comments about how Gabby should not have given Chino a pat after him refusing and instead given him a kick and forced him over the jump....it makes me sick frankly hearing people talk about horses like they are some machine to serve us only. I think Gabby showed high moral fiber and empathy by taking the high road instead of acting like a petulant two year old a throwing a fit onto her horse. Words cannot describe how proud I am of her for being a true horsewoman....In the world of showing, it can be all too easy to forget why you do it in the first place and start to treat your horse less than good. I’m just very happy of Gabby not having forgotten why she does it🤎
Couldn’t agree more!!!!! They want her to kick and smack with the crop yet when the Olympic rider did exactly that everyone jumped on her? So what is it that people want! Far out horses are real animals and don’t deserve to be hit and kicked cause they are scared and unsure 🥺
Horses always stop for a reason. Take a step back and access before punishing. A lot of the times it’s a rider error. Punishing them is not going to make them any happier/willing to do their job.
She did great taking care of chino and making sure he was ok before she checked on herself. She did great handling that and keeping him calm. I think that she handles that very well and professionally. I think that you just to excited and ahead of yourself when you fell. Most of the time people fall of because they don’t wait for the jump to come to them so they get to excited. That causes the horse to stop at the jump.
I think she just got to ahead of herself to that oxer she fell at first. It was scary and running at it makes him more likely to stop. Glad they didn’t seem to get hurt
it’s definitely not that he didn’t like the jump it’s the way she’s riding to it look at her sudden change in position everytime she enters that like plus the jump in is like off and omg the inhaler is so real
She did a good job of reassuring him! It looks like she just tried to fit the 6 in, but didn't have enough horse at the first jump to do it comfortably. Chino seems like he would have preferred to add in. I've learned that it's better to keep your horse comfortable, rather than stick to a set number of strides. A lot of times judges like to see smart, proactive riding!
not gonna lie here, I think gabby handled that really well and professionally, also that fall was so graceful considering the whole jump cane down. Also I used to do hunters but once I dabbled in jumpers there was no going back 😂
Gabby did great. But I noticed the second time she slightly pulled his reins ( you really have to watch using a curb bit, not sure how loose or tight it was) and he stopped/refused. I would have had more impulsion and sit back and drive him to the jump. I think Chino was afraid of the standards maybe. He had a rail of the fence before that had the same standards also.
Gabby did handle this beautifully. She was calm, patient, and forgiving. There was no anger, no frustration, no blaming Chino. She gently asked him to try the jump each time and quietly, graciously accepted when he wouldn't. That final pat and smile when she knew it was over says so much about her character and the love she has for Chino. As much as I am sure she would have been over the moon to go home with a handful of ribbons, I think what she did here is worth more than any of that. Well done, Gabby. I'm proud of you!
I love Gabbys attitude towards him stopping. She didn’t get mad at him, just stayed calm (at least on the outside) and brought him around again, and I didn’t quite hear but I’m assuming she was eliminated? She just left the ring rather than getting worked up and mad at him. Very professional and professionals don’t even act that way. Well done
Oh my gosh I can’t get over how well Gabby handled that! I love that she kept a hold on him and reassured him right away. Maybe try to get Chino over a fur tree jump before champs 😄 so glad they are both okay!! Good luck at champs Gabby and Chino!!!!!
Most importantly she didn't get mad at chino, which I have to say I am really proud of her for that. Alot of girls, even boys get really mad at their horses when something doesn't go to plan at a show. She kept her cool throughout the entire ride, which shows how mature she has gotten as well as what great trainers she has beside her( as well as both of you her parents). At some point through the journey these things can happen and that's ok, just need to take a moment, breathe and move on foward. She's got a great horse as her partner and alot of people should really watch how she handled this situation because a whole bunch can definitely learn from it. Great job Gabby❤
Chino looked beautiful! I’m very impressed with the way Gabby handed the situation. She smiled and laughed after everything. She seems very emotionally intelligent and hard working! That girl will be successful at anything she wants to do in life!! So proud of them, what a team ✨💕
This was a great show for them, despite the fall and not jumping the jump I think gabby really shined in her attitude. I know a show isn't the place to fall but she will have shown a lot of young riders that even if you fall its ok to have a laugh about it and she showed perseverance. I wish there was a sportsmanship prize because Gabby would have won it. Chino looked fantastic in the new shoes and his new bit and even though it went wrong gabby tried her upmost to support him and give him confidence. Truly amazing, she's growing up to be an incredible young lady and you should be very proud of her. love and hugs xx
Oh goodness, thank goodness they’re both okay! I felt my heart drop! Thankfully Gabby practically landed on her feet and Chino was able to pick himself back up, it could have been so much worse. I’m so glad they’re both okay! Great job, Gabby for getting back on! So proud of you! ❤️
Disappointments happen. Gabby did great staying on & she kept her professional face on. Well done, Gabriella! It's all a learning experience. You are on your way to being an awesome horsewoman! ❤
Gabby did so good and she handled it so well. I fell off at a show because my horse got stung in the mouth by a bee and we did not realize until he bucked me off.
@@DayByDayVlogs Consider doing a happy mouth for the flat! Hunter judges love a more minimal look so if she has what appears to be a d ring snaffle for flat she could get more points.
Gabby handled herself and Chino very well! This is no place to attack a child, their family, and trainer on what happened or "should have" happened or what they could have done. A learning experience for everyone, that was taken care of how they see fit & by their professional. Chino was moving forward, freely, and happily doing his job as asked. So many different kinds of tack and equipment is used and does NOT mean its "abusive" - different tack for different situations and used correctly is OK! It's so nice to see Gabby and Chino out, they look fantastic. GOOD JOB!
Oh well done Gabby! So proud of her attitude and care of her horse. You're never a real rider unless you fall off and that wasn't even a fall really. More of a gymnastics dismount. Something about that fence worried him and you're right, you need to go home and re-construct it. I don't think I've seen him slide into poles like that before and he did scare himself. Not something you could solve at the show in the moment. Good thing to keep trying and good that she let him have a very good look. Handled it all very well. Beautiful learning experience.
I would have stop trying cause he just didn’t want to jump it, they should start practicing that jump to get his confidence back up. But she still did great we lose some and win some. She handled everything perfectly tho. We also have to remember chino is now really feeling better after the issue he had so maybe that’s why he wasn’t sure about that jump.
Since it was a show Gabby couldn’t take time to school Chino over the scary jump. The classes needed to keep moving. Hopefully they can build a replica of the jump and practice it during a lesson
I think Gabby composed herself nicely! Sorry she and Chino had the fall, but she handled it well. Maybe you guys can make some fill and bring it to your barn to practice!
I wish I had Gabby's confidence thats one of the main things I struggle with but Gabby looks so calm and she made him look so good in the flat and in the jumping when he was not nervous about that jump
Great job Gabby! You are so incredibly mature and level headed for your age! I absolutely love how you put your horse first 💕. I am very proud of you ☺️.
Gabby handled the situation very well and her flat looked amazing, poor chino boy just didn’t like that jump but I think you both looked great going over the other jumps!! Well done and I’m glad they both seem to not be hurt, keep it up!!
I-am sorry Gabby I am glad you didn’t get hurt on Chino and I am glad Chino didn’t get hurt . You and him have a amazing connection with Chino and Storm . You and Chino looked beautiful together you inspire a lot of people out there to keep trying and not to gat upset .
Oh no! Hope you’re okay Gabby, you handled that really well. I haven’t watched your channel in a while, I’ve been so busy and in the time I’ve been off your channel.. I got my own horse, Dekota! ❤️
Yeah I know that martingale was to help him with his head bobbing, but I have absolutely no idea what the bit is for? A horse like Chino wouldn’t need it for stopping. Maybe it’s to help Gabby collected him and make him round, that would be my best guess lol
I know the bit change has to do with the fact that he opens his mouth and plays with the bit normally with his previous bit. Not sure about the martingale
@@kellybertling4744 Oh that’s strange that they think that the bit is the issue though, a horse at my barn constantly has her mouth open with a bit in her mouth. My trainer told me that she has a very soft mouth and that she does that to release the pressure of harsh hands. She is not a mouthy horse on the ground only with the bit in. Maybe Chino has a sensitive mouth as well? I’m not a professional so please don’t take the wrong way.
@@madisonequestrian I have no idea. It's been a since like 2014 that I've been on a horse. I do have some basic knowledge though. Just dont want to look like a know it all when I really dont know
What happened with Gabby’s first fall at this show is that she was going for the big spot with him and chino either didn’t want to take that distance or he didn’t see a distance coming to the fence their for he stopped. it’s not because he was scared it’s because gabby tried to push a distance that wasn’t their for him. And yes their may have been some of the reason that he was a little scared of it. PS this is no hate in anyway i just wanted to say this😉
@@chloe_the_belgian_warmbloo9523 Yes I agree with that statement. Sit up, collect, add a stride and give him a good squeeze a stride or two out from the fence. To be fair though if you look at the jump and the bush, before Chino crashed into it, it was quite far out... intruding into the 'take off' zone, making it wider and scarier for Chino. Gabby did eventually try sitting up but at that point I don't think Chino was mentally able to make it, it already affected his confidence. It is just one of those things to work on, and I feel like Chino is normally such a good consistent hunter, that maybe that is just not something Gabby has had to work on a ton, but hey from a horsemanship perspective, she handled that whole situation so well! So kuddos to Gabby for that! At the end of the day your horses wellbeing comes first, and she handled it, and the disappointment of a fall at a horseshow like a champ!
I’m so glad they’re both alright!! It could’ve been a lot worse. She handled it amazingly! Way to go Gabby!👏🏼 and now I know what you mean about the medic Laura...😅😂
Omg that must of been scary but gabby handled it amazingly she is goin so far and Chino is keeping up there are perfect together I am so glad Chino and gabby is okay 👍
First time seeing your channel. I was suddenly 14 again...at the local show. It's been decades. Great job btw!! Handled that fall very professionally. Really enjoyed this and will check out more content and subscribe.
Handled like a true horse woman! People need to hand Gabby the slack that Gabby gave Chino. He has been lame and did not get any time to prepare like normal for this show. You can’t expect him to be like normal and its lovely to see Gabby understand that she was asking more than usual of him and that he was trying for her. No need to be annoyed at him, this is out of character and it was definitely understandable. If she had done something different would he have gone over? Maybe so, but thats what happened and she handled it well. Some situations you do have to just kick the horse on and get them over it, but this wasn’t that time. With no context this may seem like one of those situations, but Chino, nor Gabby had prepared like usual and stuff happens. You pat your pony and work on what happened at home so you can come back better than ever. Also, barely a fall, she landed on her feet! 10/10 for style on that one Gabby! 🤣
Also please dear god GET A BRAIDER!!! Laura you’re a great horse show mom but I’m just gonna tell you right now that your braids aren’t worth the pain and time it takes you do them 😆 please get a braider oh my lord. THJA made a Facebook post to Connect braiders with people who need braiding just comment on that and you’ll find someone no problem, however I would also recommend having one even at your local shows.
@@nadiabishop5650 maybe?? but honestly braiding hunter braids is a talent that starts from a young age lol and extremely painful and tedious, it really is the norm to have a braider around here. If they wanna practice they can do it not at a show :p
Oh don’t we all just love refusals at the worst times! I’ve had my fair share of falling off at shows, I have yet to fall off our 17.1 thoroughbred *furiously knocks on wood* but I have one fair that I’ve fallen off each year that I ride a different horse lol, I’m gonna try taking the thoroughbred next year so hopefully that’ll change! As I said I’ve had my fair shares of falls at shows but mines have just been falls, no landing on my feet, just fall on the ground, get back on, and give everyone some good entertainment. This year my mare was being extremely herd bound and it was one of our worst rides together, and I kid you not literally two days later at a lesson we had our best ride ever, it all just depends on the day and the situation.
I've fallen off my last two times jumping🤦 it was ofc my fault, I didn't set him up right, and he refused... Was in the beginning of my position and fell over his head both times🤦 fun times.
Day by Day commented this on another post with the same question. This was their response: “Just trying a ton of bits to see what he likes. He really mouths every bit. We're on a hunt for what works best.” They are still looking but this is what worked best for this show.
@@cajane4979I doubt they are planning on keeping him in the Pelham for long but they didn't have time to get a different type of happy mouth before the show.
Gabby did an amazing job she was so beautiful and professional and after all it dose not matter if she wins or loses, also just me or did Chino try and keep gabby on ?? great job to the both of them. And Laura, you handled that so well. Good job for staying calm with Gabby and Chino. love you
It’s okay! It’s happens Gabby.😊 I haven’t fallen off recently, but I have fallen off a good 5-ish times at shows lol it happens! Nothing wrong with that, glad your ok! It just wasn’t a good day for showing I guess, Chino was out of it hehe!!! 😂 Glad you still had fun! Also glad it worked out in the end, you and Chino had a beautiful run the last few! Glad you picked him back up!😁
Is it just me or is chinos saddle is sat quite far back, especially or a jumping saddle. Just something I’ve noticed more in this video but usually proper jumping saddles sit more forward than a normal or dressage saddle It just seems to slip backwards
Amazing horsemanship gabby !!! You should be proud of yourself !!! You and chino are a great team and the more you practice the better you and chino will get . You did great 🥰
Very elegant fall gabby😂😉. Just an opinion but with the pelham only use it for shows! My horse is a super powerful forward horse and even though she goes better in it we still in lessons use a snaffle! (just an opinion no hate)!! Also you should take Chino cross country just to get used to jumps that are unusual like that! I have a few higher circuit hunter friends who do that!
Eeeeeeeee I literally said earlier “what if gabby falls” glad your both okay , idk what happened but I don’t think it was either of your fault , accidents happen . Good job!
I honestly don’t think it was the trees at all. In the warm up round he was hesitant and looked at it but he went over it. What I saw when she fell was that his striding was off so he didn’t know what to do. Ideally hunters know their striding and can tell before they get to the fence if it isn’t going to right and shorten or lengthen their horse’s stride accordingly to fix it. When he got to it, no one told him what to do so he wasn’t sure if he should chip but he felt like he was too far away to just jump so he decided to try to stop because he didn’t think he could make it over safely. Most likely, that experience scared him so the next time he wasn’t confident about it because he remembered what happened the last time so his association with that jump is that experience. And I definitely know that Gabby is still learning. Not being great at striding yet wasn’t meant as a slam or a negative at all, I just mentioned it to explain what I believed happened from what I saw and all my years in hunters. Also, I couldn’t tell if Gabby was doing it or not and it may not have mattered but if my horse refuses a fence and I’m going back to try again, I’m sort of expecting them to try to refuse again so I put more leg on and I’m ready for them to try to slow down or wiggle out. So just as a tip, if you get refusals and are heading back for another try, mentally ready yourself for him to try to stop again so the second you start to feel him think about it, you can correct it as needed and maybe avoid a second refusal.
I did see in the third trip that it looked like she added more leg and she tried really hard to get him over and he really almost went. She did a really good job of trying to get him there that time but his anxiety was just a little stronger for him. In that case, I think she did everything she could and he really thought about it but in the end he just still was too unsure
Good Evening Laura Sam Gabby. And Feonu hey Gabby I thought you were jumping beautiful. Till Chino refuse that jump twice. Maybe next time. And now you guys something to work on at home with him. But he. And you looked awesome. And you gave your all Gabby too. All my love to all
She did a good job the only thing is she should’ve done more with that jump. If he stops you don’t say good boy. You kick him and make him go over it. She didn’t seem to go up to it thinking “you will just over it, get up” but more of “oh if you jump it yoh jump if if not that’s fine too” I would’ve been more in control about that stop
He refused the both times the went up to it you get disqualified after 2 attempts. But I also think she was nervous after that aswell and you don’t want to scare him into it. It will just be something they will have to work on with him
Wow What a beautiful team...Fall? what fall? Gabby totally stuck the landing and looked graceful. If only we could all look that amazing when we fall off right? Chino its alright bud...you did amazing. Gabby this was amazing to watch. WONDERFUL job as an equestrian and as a friend to your horse. Congrats on the HUGE win (not in placing but in succeeding)
I don't usually comment but i just really wanted to say Chino looked amaaaaaazing today! He jumped perfectly and gabby looked amazing. His movement has improved so much. Such a shame about that one jump but hey, these things happen! Gabby still hannded it perfectly.I dont understand how she got 5th in her flat, She should have atleast gotten 1st or 2nd. Do the judges over there tell you the mistakes you made after the show? It's been amazing to see Gabby grow in herself and her riding through these videos and I love this family so much. This girl and her horse are going to go far and big places and I cant wait to stay and watch her grow! She's going to be a superstar!
He is still to heavy on the bit with his nose Pointed down and in, would be better to have looser reins and his neck/body relaxed with his nose poking out just a touch, all in all he just looks a little intense compared to some of the other horses, placing him lower. Hopefully in time they can find a better balance.
I think Gaby handled that perfectly and Laura your right about schooling over jumps with similar fillers to what the jump with the fall had also unpopular opinion the pelham seemed to keep him off the forehand making it easier for Gaby to ride him practice over the fir trees and they will be alright it's probably mental for Chino and starting really small with jumping the same type of filler could help him get over the fear

Started out good. Jumping is fun . But I really want her to do dressage Chino and her would be so good at it 😍😍

Gabby handled the situation very well and her flat looked amazing, poor chino boy just didn’t like that jump but I think you both looked great going over the other jumps!! Well done and I’m glad they both seem to not be hurt, keep it up!!
I’m so proud of gabby and how she handled that. They rode so beautifully and especially in the flat with those transitions ❤️
So proud of Abbey
She didn’t get mad and have a fit when Chino refused the jump. Your little girl is growing up!!!
Gabby*
AHHH IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS VIDEO SINCE YOUR FIRST INSTAGRAM POST ABOUT IT!!!
Same 😂
Me too!! 🤣
Chino looks amazing and so free in his movement
I-am sorry Gabby I am glad you didn’t get hurt on Chino and I am glad Chino didn’t get hurt .
You and him have a amazing connection with Chino and Storm . You and Chino looked beautiful together you inspire a lot of people out there to keep trying and not to gat upset .
Oh no! Hope you’re okay Gabby, you handled that really well. I haven’t watched your channel in a while, I’ve been so busy and in the time I’ve been off your channel.. I got my own horse, Dekota! ❤️
Wahoooo
Just out of curiosity, what's with the bit change and martingale? I probably missed a video explaining it
Yeah I know that martingale was to help him with his head bobbing, but I have absolutely no idea what the bit is for? A horse like Chino wouldn’t need it for stopping. Maybe it’s to help Gabby collected him and make him round, that would be my best guess lol
I know the bit change has to do with the fact that he opens his mouth and plays with the bit normally with his previous bit. Not sure about the martingale
@@lucilegadras5937 yes agreed with that. I feel like they said more than that though.
@@kellybertling4744 Oh that’s strange that they think that the bit is the issue though, a horse at my barn constantly has her mouth open with a bit in her mouth. My trainer told me that she has a very soft mouth and that she does that to release the pressure of harsh hands. She is not a mouthy horse on the ground only with the bit in. Maybe Chino has a sensitive mouth as well? I’m not a professional so please don’t take the wrong way.
@@madisonequestrian I have no idea. It's been a since like 2014 that I've been on a horse. I do have some basic knowledge though. Just dont want to look like a know it all when I really dont know
I would've totally freaked out if I was gabby LOL, she's really mature to keep riding even after like 2 falls. Super impressed :)
Wait.. what did I miss why is gabby using the palham and double reins? He definitely does NOT need all that extra gear.
What happened with Gabby’s first fall at this show is that she was going for the big spot with him and chino either didn’t want to take that distance or he didn’t see a distance coming to the fence their for he stopped. it’s not because he was scared it’s because gabby tried to push a distance that wasn’t their for him. And yes their may have been some of the reason that he was a little scared of it. PS this is no hate in anyway i just wanted to say this😉
The jump was visually scary, with the thick fill, so running up to it like gabby did was not a good idea. She should’ve sat up and chipped in
@@chloe_the_belgian_warmbloo9523 Yes I agree with that statement. Sit up, collect, add a stride and give him a good squeeze a stride or two out from the fence. To be fair though if you look at the jump and the bush, before Chino crashed into it, it was quite far out... intruding into the 'take off' zone, making it wider and scarier for Chino. Gabby did eventually try sitting up but at that point I don't think Chino was mentally able to make it, it already affected his confidence. It is just one of those things to work on, and I feel like Chino is normally such a good consistent hunter, that maybe that is just not something Gabby has had to work on a ton, but hey from a horsemanship perspective, she handled that whole situation so well! So kuddos to Gabby for that! At the end of the day your horses wellbeing comes first, and she handled it, and the disappointment of a fall at a horseshow like a champ!
@@TheCrabbyCake yep but they have it in their head that they can’t sit
Gabby took that like a champ!
Well done Gabby. Chino is such a sweetheart ❤ and yes the medic was hot 😉☺
I’m so glad they’re both alright!! It could’ve been a lot worse. She handled it amazingly! Way to go Gabby!👏🏼 and now I know what you mean about the medic Laura...😅😂
Early I hope gabby is ok!
Oh my gosh that would have to be one of the most graceful dismounts at a refusal ever hahaha well done Gabby..... You are lucky you are so tall 😂😂
Omg that must of been scary but gabby handled it amazingly she is goin so far and Chino is keeping up there are perfect together I am so glad Chino and gabby is okay 👍
Don’t worry you guys still looked amazing out there! I hope you are both okay Gabby and Chino! Poor Chinos legs went right through that jump😬
First time seeing your channel. I was suddenly 14 again...at the local show. It's been decades. Great job btw!! Handled that fall very professionally. Really enjoyed this and will check out more content and subscribe.
Handled like a true horse woman! People need to hand Gabby the slack that Gabby gave Chino. He has been lame and did not get any time to prepare like normal for this show. You can’t expect him to be like normal and its lovely to see Gabby understand that she was asking more than usual of him and that he was trying for her. No need to be annoyed at him, this is out of character and it was definitely understandable. If she had done something different would he have gone over? Maybe so, but thats what happened and she handled it well. Some situations you do have to just kick the horse on and get them over it, but this wasn’t that time. With no context this may seem like one of those situations, but Chino, nor Gabby had prepared like usual and stuff happens. You pat your pony and work on what happened at home so you can come back better than ever.
Also, barely a fall, she landed on her feet! 10/10 for style on that one Gabby! 🤣
Lol yeah! She has taken so many mistakes at these shows home and worked on them and gone back stronger!
Wow what a comeback! You should be proud of that fall babe!
Also please dear god GET A BRAIDER!!! Laura you’re a great horse show mom but I’m just gonna tell you right now that your braids aren’t worth the pain and time it takes you do them 😆 please get a braider oh my lord. THJA made a Facebook post to Connect braiders with people who need braiding just comment on that and you’ll find someone no problem, however I would also recommend having one even at your local shows.
Maybe be a little less demanding... Her braids are fine it shouldn't matter how they look
If they continue to practice they will eventually get good enough to do a professional job….
We got one for champs!
@@DayByDayVlogs omg amazing!! Chino will look SO SMART!!
@@nadiabishop5650 maybe?? but honestly braiding hunter braids is a talent that starts from a young age lol and extremely painful and tedious, it really is the norm to have a braider around here. If they wanna practice they can do it not at a show :p
is it me or does he look a bit stiff in the hind when he turns maybe do grid work that helps them flex more
Oh my goodness gabby, you couldn’t have handles it better so proud of you!!
good job gabby! falling can be hard but she handled it so well! it was a scary jump and chino obviously didn’t want to add lol but she did very well!
Oh don’t we all just love refusals at the worst times! I’ve had my fair share of falling off at shows, I have yet to fall off our 17.1 thoroughbred *furiously knocks on wood* but I have one fair that I’ve fallen off each year that I ride a different horse lol, I’m gonna try taking the thoroughbred next year so hopefully that’ll change! As I said I’ve had my fair shares of falls at shows but mines have just been falls, no landing on my feet, just fall on the ground, get back on, and give everyone some good entertainment. This year my mare was being extremely herd bound and it was one of our worst rides together, and I kid you not literally two days later at a lesson we had our best ride ever, it all just depends on the day and the situation.
I've fallen off my last two times jumping🤦 it was ofc my fault, I didn't set him up right, and he refused... Was in the beginning of my position and fell over his head both times🤦 fun times.
Why is chino in a Pelham
Day by Day commented this on another post with the same question. This was their response:
“Just trying a ton of bits to see what he likes. He really mouths every bit. We're on a hunt for what works best.” They are still looking but this is what worked best for this show.
@@annegulbransen3961 ok thanks! I went camping so I missed a few days and wanted to know if there was a specific reason.
It’s a happy-mouth Pelham so its made of plastic and he seems to enjoy it and mouths it less
@@sarahmorris121 oh thank you !
@@cajane4979I doubt they are planning on keeping him in the Pelham for long but they didn't have time to get a different type of happy mouth before the show.
Well done gabby! I’m sorry that happened but you handled it very well! It might be medical? because he normally doesn’t stop at jumps!
I don't know why but i just feel like Chino did not want to be there! Gabby did great staying with him! I hope that their both ok!!! 👍💞💞💝💞💞👍
I love that Gabby kept a smile on her face!
Gabby did an amazing job she was so beautiful and professional and after all it dose not matter if she wins or loses, also just me or did Chino try and keep gabby on ?? great job to the both of them.
And Laura, you handled that so well. Good job for staying calm with Gabby and Chino.
love you
It’s okay! It’s happens Gabby.😊 I haven’t fallen off recently, but I have fallen off a good 5-ish times at shows lol it happens! Nothing wrong with that, glad your ok! It just wasn’t a good day for showing I guess, Chino was out of it hehe!!! 😂 Glad you still had fun! Also glad it worked out in the end, you and Chino had a beautiful run the last few! Glad you picked him back up!😁
Good job Gabby🙂
I have not watched your channel in a hot minute and I thought Cheno was lame
Yeah he got pads and a wedge and is good now.
Oooooff! That definitely stinks. You were riding so beautifully! Drops the reins though! Chino & you are looking absolutely stunning😊
Both did really well
Is it just me or is chinos saddle is sat quite far back, especially or a jumping saddle. Just something I’ve noticed more in this video but usually proper jumping saddles sit more forward than a normal or dressage saddle
It just seems to slip backwards
It slips cause he’s loosing weight but they are trying to get the weight back on him
@Lazy Hummingbird yup but what can we do , can’t tell them what to do
Her first fall wasn't a fall it was dismounting is fashion.
Why are you riding him in a Pelham bit? He’s not an excitable or strong horse so why would he need anything other than a snaffle?
Well done Gabby so so proud of you love watching you and chino great team love you guys ❤️🍏🍎
Everyone falls off at some point in life
Good job Gabby!! You handled it very well!!
Wow gabby good job! I missed your videos. I just got back from nine days in Louisville Kentucky competing at saddlebred world championships!!
Amazing horsemanship gabby !!! You should be proud of yourself !!! You and chino are a great team and the more you practice the better you and chino will get . You did great 🥰
Very elegant fall gabby😂😉. Just an opinion but with the pelham only use it for shows! My horse is a super powerful forward horse and even though she goes better in it we still in lessons use a snaffle! (just an opinion no hate)!! Also you should take Chino cross country just to get used to jumps that are unusual like that! I have a few higher circuit hunter friends who do that!
Yeah I love that idea! We have been trying a ton of bits to see which one he mouths lessA
@@DayByDayVlogs Have you thought of a flash? Talk it over with your trainer! it worked dreams on my horse as she did the same thing!
@ Peyton Phoenix flashes are unfortunately not allowed in hunters so Gabby would not be able to use it in a show
@@annegulbransen3961 yes i know! For lessons eventually it would just become a habit for him to keep it shut!
Well done Gabby! You handled that fall so well 👌
Eeeeeeeee I literally said earlier “what if gabby falls” glad your both okay , idk what happened but I don’t think it was either of your fault , accidents happen . Good job!
Love Gabby’s Chanel intro!
Yikes😬😬hope her and chino r okay
I honestly don’t think it was the trees at all. In the warm up round he was hesitant and looked at it but he went over it. What I saw when she fell was that his striding was off so he didn’t know what to do. Ideally hunters know their striding and can tell before they get to the fence if it isn’t going to right and shorten or lengthen their horse’s stride accordingly to fix it. When he got to it, no one told him what to do so he wasn’t sure if he should chip but he felt like he was too far away to just jump so he decided to try to stop because he didn’t think he could make it over safely. Most likely, that experience scared him so the next time he wasn’t confident about it because he remembered what happened the last time so his association with that jump is that experience. And I definitely know that Gabby is still learning. Not being great at striding yet wasn’t meant as a slam or a negative at all, I just mentioned it to explain what I believed happened from what I saw and all my years in hunters.
Also, I couldn’t tell if Gabby was doing it or not and it may not have mattered but if my horse refuses a fence and I’m going back to try again, I’m sort of expecting them to try to refuse again so I put more leg on and I’m ready for them to try to slow down or wiggle out. So just as a tip, if you get refusals and are heading back for another try, mentally ready yourself for him to try to stop again so the second you start to feel him think about it, you can correct it as needed and maybe avoid a second refusal.
I did see in the third trip that it looked like she added more leg and she tried really hard to get him over and he really almost went. She did a really good job of trying to get him there that time but his anxiety was just a little stronger for him. In that case, I think she did everything she could and he really thought about it but in the end he just still was too unsure
also chino doesn’t wants to do what gabby wants to do
I believe Gabby handled that well
Gabby you did so good gabby and you ride so gabby and you jump so good on on your horse gabby
Good Evening Laura Sam Gabby. And Feonu hey Gabby I thought you were jumping beautiful. Till Chino refuse that jump twice. Maybe next time. And now you guys something to work on at home with him. But he. And you looked awesome. And you gave your all Gabby too. All my love to all
She did a good job the only thing is she should’ve done more with that jump. If he stops you don’t say good boy. You kick him and make him go over it. She didn’t seem to go up to it thinking “you will just over it, get up” but more of “oh if you jump it yoh jump if if not that’s fine too” I would’ve been more in control about that stop
He refused the both times the went up to it you get disqualified after 2 attempts. But I also think she was nervous after that aswell and you don’t want to scare him into it. It will just be something they will have to work on with him
@@Lifewithhorses628 yes I agree but all I’m saying is she should’ve ridden up to it giving him no to option to stop. Then he might’ve gone over it.
Wow What a beautiful team...Fall? what fall? Gabby totally stuck the landing and looked graceful. If only we could all look that amazing when we fall off right? Chino its alright bud...you did amazing. Gabby this was amazing to watch. WONDERFUL job as an equestrian and as a friend to your horse. Congrats on the HUGE win (not in placing but in succeeding)
Thank you!
1 of 4 falls (I think) caught on camera for Gabby
Yeah something I've that. She doesn't like to fall haha
wow! Rough day.. good job gabby hope your alright! Good thing to learn though!
When he stopped she didn’t let him look that’s why he stopped a second time
Poor gabby
Get his teeth checked for hooks. Or get a chiropractor to check him. I do think something is wrong.
Love y’all ❤️❤️❤️
There’s nothing wrong he was just not confident over that fence. He went over the others perfectly fine.
I hope Gabby and Chino are ok?
GREAT JOB GABBY
Hi my name is Promyse and I'm 8 years old and I love your videos. And I'm going to a horse show this weekend
I don't usually comment but i just really wanted to say Chino looked amaaaaaazing today! He jumped perfectly and gabby looked amazing. His movement has improved so much. Such a shame about that one jump but hey, these things happen! Gabby still hannded it perfectly.I dont understand how she got 5th in her flat, She should have atleast gotten 1st or 2nd. Do the judges over there tell you the mistakes you made after the show? It's been amazing to see Gabby grow in herself and her riding through these videos and I love this family so much. This girl and her horse are going to go far and big places and I cant wait to stay and watch her grow! She's going to be a superstar!
He is still to heavy on the bit with his nose
Pointed down and in, would be better to have looser reins and his neck/body relaxed with his nose poking out just a touch, all in all he just looks a little intense compared to some of the other horses, placing him lower. Hopefully in time they can find a better balance.
I think Gaby handled that perfectly and Laura your right about schooling over jumps with similar fillers to what the jump with the fall had also unpopular opinion the pelham seemed to keep him off the forehand making it easier for Gaby to ride him practice over the fir trees and they will be alright it's probably mental for Chino and starting really small with jumping the same type of filler could help him get over the fear
Well handled Gabby, I see trees and fill in your schooling future lol.
