You made me cry! And I never cry! But seeing you riding Abe and hearing you talk about him brought up all sorts of (good) memories of my old boy Brandy who trotted over rainbow bridge 3 1/2 years ago. If I could, I’d reach through the screen and give you a hug. You have been a huge part of my riding life with my 2nd pony, Pedro, through your TH-cam and Dressage Mastery Programme. I have missed seeing your face and hearing your enthusiasm. It is so lovely to see you clearly so excited for your future. I really hope horses are there somewhere in some shape or form for you. Much love to you all, Hannah
Its such a great privilege to be able to knowingly have our last ride on a beloved horse; while its challenging and emotional, it really is amazing. I think some people will never understand how draining life as an equine professional can be. I'm glad you're able to step back, take a break, find your love of it again in a different context -- I look forward to seeing your journey, Tash!
You definitely made me cry! You are the reason why I started riding dressage and changed from western riding after my horse was injured. It was a great switch and has made my life become much more centered and passionate about horses. Please don't quit and give up riding. I don't know what happened on why you lost your home. I am sure it has something to do with family. BUILD it BACK! Love you and you are a blessing from God! Sincerely, your friend from Mountain Creek Stables in Tennessee Kayla
Natasha, you have always been open, and freely share information with all of us. We all cried with you and for some of us, know this is not the end. Just the end of a chapter in your life. Looking forward to your new chapter and new adventures. You and Alicia are an amazing team and will do great things together. We all love you and wish you well!❤
Tash, I found your TH-cam channel when I was recovering from bilateral knee replacements in 2015. You were and still are inspiring. Your Riding Success Institute was a dream come true. You and your team inspired me to want for my dream. My motto is "Dream Big Play Full Out'. I had the honour of riding Abe. He is an exquisite and gentle horse. He enabled me to regain the confidence to ride and taught me about shoulder control and some fancy steps. I cried while I was riding my exercise bike. My partner heard me crying and came to watch he also cried. But despite this. My hope is that you will ride again. You, Kate Megan, Nicole and Alicia and now Toby are continuing the dream in a different capacity. Thank you for this new UK journey too. Thank you for sharing your life and your journey and your family. I am forever grateful for the experiences I had at Garfield. 🌹
Tash I just cried tears and tears watching this. Thanks for sharing this. I recently retired my grey and was bailing my eyes out like you. As one chapter closes another begins. I'm excited to watch what you get up to next.
I admire your willingness to be vulnerable and work through your emotions with us - this, above else, demonstrates your integrity and courage at the authentic core. I stand In gratitude and awe to who you are to the point you can provide guidance and wisdom on life's game - because it's only a game in the end. We learn from each other as much as we teach each other.
I’ve absolutely sobbed watching that I watched you for years and years what a graceful family you are good luck for the future, I hope your dreams come true ❤️
Tash, that was a beautiful and emotional tribute to your work with YRS Institute and a heartfelt memory of Abe. I have been a client of yours since 2008 and seen the highs and lows. I visited the beautiful Garfield property a number of times before development into YRS but was lucky enough to ride there on Abe just once and it was a dream come true. I was shocked and sad when I heard the news, and I cringed when those beautiful motivational quotes went on the bonfire. I feel I have the same connection with my 5 year old friesian (out of Daquiri). He was born on my 50th birthday and has quickly become my heart horse. I will be competing in elementary with him this year and I feel he has the potential to make it to FEI. I hope to see you around in Queensland and look forward to you sharing what adventure your life brings next.
Watching you cry just breaks everyone' s heart...it is so sad when life plays such tricks on people who give so much unconditionally. You have a wonderful family which supports you and a worldwide online community which finds you so inspiring and motivating - I DO hope to God you get back on a horse , nevertheless we missed you dearly - Happy new year and all the best to come! Can't wait to hear from you soon!!🥰🥰
The way my heart leapt with joy and I started bawling when you said "Hint, I may get back into riding." I am so happy I found your new channel! I cannot imagine going through what you did, and to see you do it with such gratitude is inspiring. Looking forward to seeing what the future holds! ♥
thank you so much for sharing this part of your life. you were the first TH-cam equine video i started watching several years ago and you made a lasting impression on me and riding over the years. best of luck in the future and i look forward to seeing your success!
The last ride broke my heart! So sorry you've had so many changes, but it sounds like new and exciting things are coming your way. Best wishes for a fabulous 2022!
Hi Tash, I have no idea how you could ever part with your horses, and at least not keep just the one. I would be devastated and I am sure that's just how you would have felt. You are much stronger than I am as I could never do it. I could feel the emotion as I watched your video. All the very best to wherever you are going - don't let life slip you by - enjoy
Tash - you just need to find your re love of horses. You feel like you’ve taken a step back - but it’s just a change in your journey as you said. Competition takes it out of you. Competition can really make you negative. My horse has lameness issues which I’ve decided to share on social media. I wanted to event but he will never event at the grand old age of 10 … yes 10 … but with the end of that journey - I’ve found so much more with him and I’ve actually found my love for horses without any competition goals. Abe is your baby. Would it be possible to have him home, semi retired and to just be able to enjoy hacking? It makes my heart hurt how emotional you are over the last ride. It feels wrong. Good luck Tash. 💚
Oh my did this make me cry right along with you. I saw Jazza’s video where you both did a colab with Abe. That is how found your channel. I was so in awe from your beautiful fusion stallion. God bless you and you journey.
It is so inspiring seeing someone who has built so much and come so far also be able to let it go in order to keep achieving their dreams. Very special
This was a hard watch. I hope you find what you’re looking for on your new journey. Thanks for starting this account and sharing so much of your knowledge over the years.
This made me so emotional. The first horse my parents bred, a 17 years ago American saddlebred cross warmblood was sold to a lovely lady that cared for him dearly. He was ridden at your (now old) property multiple times. He had plenty of owners even though the first owner after us said she would never sell him (she unfortunately developed cancer but is okay). He went through plenty of owners, sadly some did not treat him right. He was abused with one owner, and 'over buted', to when he was fighting for his life. He eventually was given back to the lady we sold him to (after the recovered from her cancer), and then developed laminitis as she overfed him. The lady informed my mum (who bred him 17 years ago) that he wasn't doing well and the vet was coming out. My mum didn't see the message until later in the day. She messaged her and called her, though the lady said it was too late. My mum would have done anything for the horse to be floated over from Victoria to NSW and she would have nursed him back to health, though didn't even have the opportunity. I'm so pleased you have blessed Aba with the best retirement possible
This was such a heartbreaking watch. I have my horse because of the help you offered with goal setting and finding ways to achieve what you really want. I hope whatever comes next will be epic for you and your family. X
Heres to Phil and Tash... A truely inspiring couple! The love and support you display for one another is truely beautiful! The fact that you both keep giving of yourselves to others, in the face of adversity, truely demonstrates the tremendous human beings you both are. I have and will continue to watch your journey in ore and am incredibly thankful for your passion for sharing your knowledge with the world. You guys rock!!
I'm so happy to know I'll continue to be able to follow you on your new adventures! I found you when I was looking for answers as I began my new adventure in dressage. Thank you for sharing your knowledge (many ah-ha moments 😊). I've continued watching Alisha and continue to gain even more knowledge!
Great, thanks, yes I have watched that. I just have many questions where things don't make sense, but if people find this satisfactory, I won't push it and will just say: rock on! Be well, cheers.
@Marian Walhout It’s not about it being satisfactory, it’s about being respectful that she’s already shared so much. It doesn’t have to make sense, it’s not our life, it’s Tashs and she’s trying to be respectful to her family by not airing their washing on a public platform. X
What rawness Tash thank you for trusting us your viewers to go on this new journey together and with saying goodbye to your past journey. I have been missing you guys so much so I’m going to be selfish now and say I am so ready to start on your new horizons. So I want both you and Phil to get this thing started because we are here, we are ready and most of all we love you guys!! 💜
WOW I cried too!, alot... This takes time to digest...like alot of time, take time to process this...our hearts are with you as you move through this.🤗😘🙅♀️🙆♀️🙋♀️😢😢😢
Memories are forever, they are always with us. Your heart horse is always in your heart 💖. Good luck in the future. I've loved joining you on your journey.
OMG your back, welcome back. You made me cry, your so strong to do what you did. Can’t wait to see what you and Phil get up to next. Again welcome back 🥰
Oh Tash 😪🤗 Thank you so much for sharing and baring your soul. I wish I'd found your program sooner. You and your program have played a large part in helping me regain my confidence and giving me the courage to believe in myself and keep setting and pursuing new goals. I truly hope that you do et back into riding... even if it's in a different manner... it's part of you... on the back of a horse we can sort through everything and gain a different perspective. And even I'd not a natural born rider, it is now second nature. Thanks again for sharing your life, your journey - ALL the bits of it along with the emotion. I love ya for it💞
I love your honesty and your humility. You're such an amazing and inspiration in the equine community, you make everyone feel so welcome and like they can reach their dreams and they are welcome which can be rare in the equine community. I wish you all the best in your next chapter of life and thankyou for all you've given and being such a beautiful soul.
I’m seriously going to love on my Fresian stallion Monty, made me cry, this is your first post I’ve seen, not sure what has happened.. sending all my love and best wishes to your next adventure ❤
This just tore me up. I cannot believe you gave up on that dream. You are such a good teacher and your Friesian is so amazing. i cannot fathom giving up any of my horses. I am sure there were reasons. But you were such agood instructor. You will do just fine with personal development but get back in the saddle lady. Love you!
I promise I have not given Abe up- it was my last ride on him because he has now retired to live the good life with a very good friend of mine who will look after him for me!! And I will be getting back in the saddle!
Wishing you and your family the best! Hoping the up and coming years will be better for everyone. I hope you get to be back to riding horses soon. I know how hard it is to have to stop. For me it was over 10 years without riding. I'm back to riding this year in Italy and loving every second of it. My worry is when I go back to the states in December that it is so expensive to take lessons and keep a horse that I may not be able to ride again. :(
Made me cry 😭 awe bless you. I hope you come back. I do watch your riding vlogs helped me so much. I'm so much better and more confident and I'm loving my riding horses again. Thank you so much you taken so much time and effort to help others too. Take care. Sarah x
You are resilient my dear you will never stay away from riding it's part of you....keep going keep dreaming keep your goals first and foremost....we all love you and wish you and your family all the best.
Well now that just absolutely broke my heart 💔 Tash I'm so sorry you went through this part of the journey in your life. I went through it too about 15 years ago and it's devastating. But you do get back into riding because it's part of your soul ❤️. I wish you, Phil and your beautiful family the best ❤️. I know which ever direction you go into next it will also turn into gold 🤗❤️
I had to hold myself back from just balling. Such a bond a girl can have with her horse. Abe will remember you forever. ❤️ Can’t wait to see what comes next for you! I also know there’s no way your not going to ride again! 💝
oh Abe ....watching this broke my heart! I've followed you guys for years and you've been such a help and inspiration to me and learning to ride as an adult (older adult!) over the last 9 years ....partly due to Covid I've given up riding since June this year and so haven't been following what's been happening with you...I'm 55 and in the UK and I don't know whether I will go back to riding this year...I need to be a hell of a lot fitter I know that much...but seeing this has reminded me what an amazing feeling it is to be allowed on the back of these fellow beings...the pony I rode for years sadly passed away at the beginning of this year so even though I have never had a horse or pony of my own I can imagine the connection you must have had with Abe...I truly wish you all the best for your future adventures and want to send you heartfelt "THANKS" for everything you've taught me over the years. Thanks Tash.
I had a little teary moment watching this. Tash, you are amazing! Abe is the best, the two of you inspired me to peruse my own friesian dreams and taught me so much through DMA & TH-cam. I was lucky enough to ride Abe a few times at the RSI and he made me feel like a princess and let me achieve my goal of riding changes! Thank you so much for sharing your amazing journey, thank you for sharing your knowledge and thank you for being such an inspiration! I can’t wait to see your new journey unfold 💕💕
I know it is painful but you have built something so much larger than that facility. You've touched more lives and helped more riders than the arena could ever hold. There weren't enough stalls for all the horses you've given second chances to through horsemanship education. You are larger than life and we thank you for everything you've given us--and we're here for everything you still have to share.
Aww Tash, I got a little teary watching that. Sending you much love. You and Abe accomplished so many amazing things. I am forever grateful I got to come to Garfield years ago and have a lesson with Gianna and meet you in person. You are such an inspiration. I look forward to what you do next, so many new adventures await xx
Thank you Tash for sharing. I cried but ive to admit to begin with that it had some personal agenda. I always thought i had my break, my lottery win when i got the working student position with you. Well it didnt happen.. Ive have struggeled as you have, it seems like everything just washed away and never can be reached again. I hope from the bottom of my heart it will all work out, something even better for both of us
What beautiful gorgeous memories you have and I'm happy for you but yes, it made me cry. You are so strong and brave. I couldn't have done it. I'm betting you won't stay out if the saddle though! Best wishes with your journey ❤
OMG I dont know how you did this and to say goodbye to your horses... you must ride again and while you can Ive enjoyed watching your channel thank you
I don't know why you had to give it up, but I do know it sucks. I would hate to have a dream given to me and then ripped away. I am horse crazy and I hope that I can get a horse soon and create the same bond with it like you have with him
I wasn't planning on crying today!! I remember watching your videos well before you started building your last yard, and it's so sad that you had to let that go, but it looks like a new avenue has opened up for you and a new and exciting time is ahead! I can't wait to see everything you have in stall!!!
This made me cry, I’m so happy you have made the most out of your situation and used it as an advantage, to see the world from a different angle 💕 you’ve inspired me so much over the years, sometimes even just to get on my gelding after a bad few days. You’ve definitely reminded me many times not to take him or anything I have for granted. Good luck in the future Tash I can’t wait to see you on your new journey x
Bless you in your new adventures wherever they take you and your family. I know how hard it is to rehome your equine partner and best friend. My situation while different shares the same loss. So yep crying along with you. I have spent the last 20 years trying to get my health back. It's not going at all how I had hoped but what can you do but keep trying. Subscribed and will look forward to our next visit. Stay safe stay strong.
I am so confounded by not knowing what happened. Does anyone know why this happened. Did she get kicked out? I thought she and Phil owned that horse ranch.
Hi Charlene - my mother owns it and it is now on the market to be sold. Time for a new adventure! We have moved interstate to a new house, and I promise I will be back riding, it will just look a little different :)
God bless you and your family, I wish you every success in your new venture, please don’t stop riding and posting on TH-cam, your so inspiring and I would miss you greatly, all my love. Vicky wood from Hythe England. X
Wow Tash. I know you will navigate successfully through your voyage through the ‘“unkown” even though I know you will feel very lost at times. Remember, if you don’t lose yourself you can’t find yourself. When you do find yourself I am willing to bet that you will find you knew her all along and standing right there beside you will be a horse standing in front of a beautiful barn and a beautiful equine boarding/training/riding facility that belongs to you. And once again you will help many riders of all ages become a riding superstar. One thing to always remember is always keep faith. What rings true in your heart is always and always will be true. I also pray for you and all your countrymen that tyrannical snake that stole your freedom and government is soon beheaded so AU may thrive.
I had chills throughout the whole video. I’ll forever be grateful to you for breeding my two horses. Zucker and Venus. They are my soul horses. I’d be lost without their love and they try so hard for me. Our bond is so deep. I can’t even imagine what you’ve gone through lately. I can’t help but think the rug got pulled out from under you and that makes me a bit angry. I don’t mean any disrespect to anyone by saying that. You have made me dream big in my life. In return, I hope all of your new dreams come true. You’re amazing lady. Luv ya xxx 🖤
I will admit I cry a lot but while you where riding you made a cry and it felt different then other times. I think it’s because I love horses too and I’m still a novice and to think that if I ever find a horse that is a perfect match for me I would have to split up at one point.
I haven't watched you before, but I wish I had, I cried watching this . 😢 nit sure what made you walk away from all this but I wish you all the very best in your adventures xxx
What if?... What if the new direction your life is taking is even better than where you were? Sometimes we are so busy "moving forward" that when a big change happens we think it brought us back to square one. You can't go back to square one, too much has happened since then. You are not the same person you were when you started your business, and in 10 years, you won't be the person you are today. I am sending you a huge Mom hug from the U.S. Let out all those tears, sit in your car and scream, then take a deep breath and take that first step into the new life that is ahead of you. P.s. Life is not fair, it never was, and never will be. Love, Mom
I'm doing so good with my horse and I'm watching your ride ing success and it is helping me on my ride ing my horse and it is helping me with my horse thank you and I want to watch your ride ing your ride ing success thank you Nannette
It wasn't our place it was my mothers and it is now for sale. Things change and new directions happen but that is the excitement of life :) We love serving all our riding clients online :)
Hi. I am just left with so many questions: what happened? why did it happen? why did you stop riding? why did you have to leave a (seemingly) viable and gorgeous business? Wishing you the very best, f*ck the olympics if that's a key issue; putting the bar high is a great thing but that doesn't mean failure if you don't quite make it. I loved your videos and hope you will come back to YRS, together with Alicia who is doing a great job.
If u go to the yrs channel, Tash did a video just before she handed over to Alicia, it explains everything but make sure u have a box of tissues at the ready♥️
I promise I haven't stopped riding forever, and Your Riding Success is still my business, I am just taking a different role in it :) I will be back to do some videos with Alicia, but she's doing a great job with the riding videos :)
@@marianwalhout5901 It does though. Tash told us that her parents owned the property that RSI was developed on. Tash's dad passed a while ago, and last year, her mum made the call to sell the property in Garfield which meant that Tash and family needed to find a new home, as did the horses. Establishing that kind of facility all over again is exorbitantly expensive anyway, but even more so when one also needs to purchase the land to build it on. A different adventure called.
I just feel it seemed to be such a great business. Couldn’t they just buy the property of her Mum. Such a heartbreak selling all your horses. It also doesn’t explain why she gave up riding. I feel it’s all so sad.
You made me cry! And I never cry! But seeing you riding Abe and hearing you talk about him brought up all sorts of (good) memories of my old boy Brandy who trotted over rainbow bridge 3 1/2 years ago.

I think some people will never understand how draining life as an equine professional can be. I'm glad you're able to step back, take a break, find your love of it again in a different context -- I look forward to seeing your journey, Tash!
Bawled my eyes out. YRS is in good hands with Alicia but we miss you. I hope to see you aboard a horse again soon
i stopped watching YRS it just wasnt the same anymore,. somehow less fun and too serious.. not the content i need.
You definitely made me cry! You are the reason why I started riding dressage and changed from western riding after my horse was injured. It was a great switch and has made my life become much more centered and passionate about horses. Please don't quit and give up riding. I don't know what happened on why you lost your home. I am sure it has something to do with family. BUILD it BACK! Love you and you are a blessing from God! Sincerely, your friend from Mountain Creek Stables in Tennessee Kayla

Natasha, you have always been open, and freely share information with all of us. We all cried with you and for some of us, know this is not the end. Just the end of a chapter in your life.

May I ask why she is moving? :(
Hi Tash, I have no idea how you could ever part with your horses, and at least not keep just the one. I would be devastated and I am sure that's just how you would have felt.

Yes - thank you so much! Abe is enjoying his retirement at one of my really good friend. :) He is doing well now.
So many beautiful memories with the King ❤️ Happy retirement big man 😘
And big hugs to you Tash ❤️❤️
Oh my did this make me cry right along with you. I saw Jazza’s video where you both did a colab with Abe. That is how found your channel. I was so in awe from your beautiful fusion stallion. God bless you and you journey.

Thanks for starting this account and sharing so much of your knowledge over the years.
Thanks for the update Tash. I look forward to seeing you in 2022 😘🥳
This made me so emotional. The first horse my parents bred, a 17 years ago American saddlebred cross warmblood was sold to a lovely lady that cared for him dearly. He was ridden at your (now old) property multiple times. He had plenty of owners even though the first owner after us said she would never sell him (she unfortunately developed cancer but is okay). He went through plenty of owners, sadly some did not treat him right. He was abused with one owner, and 'over buted', to when he was fighting for his life.

The lady informed my mum (who bred him 17 years ago) that he wasn't doing well and the vet was coming out. My mum didn't see the message until later in the day. She messaged her and called her, though the lady said it was too late. My mum would have done anything for the horse to be floated over from Victoria to NSW and she would have nursed him back to health, though didn't even have the opportunity. I'm so pleased you have blessed Aba with the best retirement possible
Good on ya Tash! Can't hold a good woman down! And cheers to you Phil! You're an awesome dude! :)
This was such a heartbreaking watch. I have my horse because of the help you offered with goal setting and finding ways to achieve what you really want. I hope whatever comes next will be epic for you and your family. X
Heres to Phil and Tash... A truely inspiring couple!
The love and support you display for one another is truely beautiful!
The fact that you both keep giving of yourselves to others, in the face of adversity, truely demonstrates the tremendous human beings you both are.
I have and will continue to watch your journey in ore and am incredibly thankful for your passion for sharing your knowledge with the world.
You guys rock!!
Heartbreaking. This was a beautiful video and thank you for the long-awaited update. I'm sure Abe will be very content in his new home.
I'm so happy to know I'll continue to be able to follow you on your new adventures! I found you when I was looking for answers as I began my new adventure in dressage. Thank you for sharing your knowledge (many ah-ha moments 😊). I've continued watching Alisha and continue to gain even more knowledge!

What rawness Tash thank you for trusting us your viewers to go on this new journey together and with saying goodbye to your past journey. I have been missing you guys so much so I’m going to be selfish now and say I am so ready to start on your new horizons. So I want both you and Phil to get this thing started because we are here, we are ready and most of all we love you guys!! 💜
Thank you so much for your kind words. ❤
I was crying like a baby with you. You will be missed and so will Abe!! Look forward to you new adventures
Thank you sharing your beautiful story. Cried my eyes out but am so excited for your future journey.
WOW I cried too!, alot... This takes time to digest...like alot of time, take time to process this...our hearts are with you as you move through this.🤗😘🙅♀️🙆♀️🙋♀️😢😢😢
Thank you so much for your support.
Memories are forever, they are always with us. Your heart horse is always in your heart 💖. Good luck in the future. I've loved joining you on your journey.
OMG your back, welcome back. You made me cry, your so strong to do what you did. Can’t wait to see what you and Phil get up to next. Again welcome back 🥰
Oh Tash 😪🤗 Thank you so much for sharing and baring your soul. I wish I'd found your program sooner. You and your program have played a large part in helping me regain my confidence and giving me the courage to believe in myself and keep setting and pursuing new goals. I truly hope that you do et back into riding... even if it's in a different manner... it's part of you... on the back of a horse we can sort through everything and gain a different perspective. And even I'd not a natural born rider, it is now second nature. Thanks again for sharing your life, your journey - ALL the bits of it along with the emotion. I love ya for it💞
Thank you xx
Yep...tears but also excitement....as you have said many times...Tash! You've got this...whatever it may be!! New adventures abound! ❤🐎
Yes!!
What happened to him
I love your honesty and your humility. You're such an amazing and inspiration in the equine community, you make everyone feel so welcome and like they can reach their dreams and they are welcome which can be rare in the equine community.
I wish you all the best in your next chapter of life and thankyou for all you've given and being such a beautiful soul.
Sending you comforting hugs and love. You are a wonderful person and I thank you for letting us all for following you on this journey. ox
I’m seriously going to love on my Fresian stallion Monty, made me cry, this is your first post I’ve seen, not sure what has happened.. sending all my love and best wishes to your next adventure ❤
You are so kind, thank you!
I know this sounds crazy but it was nice to see you emotional as you are always so together. Looking forward to watching your new adventures.
This just tore me up. I cannot believe you gave up on that dream. You are such a good teacher and your Friesian is so amazing. i cannot fathom giving up any of my horses. I am sure there were reasons. But you were such agood instructor. You will do just fine with personal development but get back in the saddle lady. Love you!
I promise I have not given Abe up- it was my last ride on him because he has now retired to live the good life with a very good friend of mine who will look after him for me!! And I will be getting back in the saddle!
So emotional ❤️❤️ I know how you feel they make us feel so happy and free. ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thank you for your kind words. :)
I have missed you! Can't wait for your updates. Thanks for making me cry with you 😉
Wishing you and your family the best! Hoping the up and coming years will be better for everyone. I hope you get to be back to riding horses soon. I know how hard it is to have to stop. For me it was over 10 years without riding. I'm back to riding this year in Italy and loving every second of it. My worry is when I go back to the states in December that it is so expensive to take lessons and keep a horse that I may not be able to ride again. :(
Thank you so much! I hope you find an affordable price package and you can still enjoy riding! :)
Made me cry 😭 awe bless you. I hope you come back. I do watch your riding vlogs helped me so much. I'm so much better and more confident and I'm loving my riding horses again. Thank you so much you taken so much time and effort to help others too. Take care. Sarah x
Wow huge changes, it's not easy to say goodbye. I am sure horses will find you wherever you go.
You are resilient my dear you will never stay away from riding it's part of you....keep going keep dreaming keep your goals first and foremost....we all love you and wish you and your family all the best.
My Heart Goes out To you and your family !! It is not your fault its whats happened all over the world ! Can not wait for your next episode 🤩🤩🥰🥰
Full body chills and tears 😭😭❤️ Goodluck on your new adventures.. omg 😭❤️🙏🏼 xoxoxoox
Tash you made me cry omg huge hugs you are amazing and your horses, and i look forward to your next adventures bless you xxxx
Thank you so much!
Heart breaking yet inspirational. Can’t wait to see the marvellous developments to come.
Never give up!!! Don’t ever leave behind what your good at! 🐎
Well now that just absolutely broke my heart 💔
Tash I'm so sorry you went through this part of the journey in your life. I went through it too about 15 years ago and it's devastating. But you do get back into riding because it's part of your soul ❤️. I wish you, Phil and your beautiful family the best ❤️. I know which ever direction you go into next it will also turn into gold 🤗❤️
Mwah thank you!!!!
The best of luck on your new journey.
Best of luck Tash. I have loved to watch your videos. It breaks my heart that your dreamhome is no more.
I had to hold myself back from just balling. Such a bond a girl can have with her horse. Abe will remember you forever. ❤️
Can’t wait to see what comes next for you! I also know there’s no way your not going to ride again! 💝
Thanks Allison!! I'll definitely be riding again... it will just look a bit different :)
oh Abe ....watching this broke my heart! I've followed you guys for years and you've been such a help and inspiration to me and learning to ride as an adult (older adult!) over the last 9 years ....partly due to Covid I've given up riding since June this year and so haven't been following what's been happening with you...I'm 55 and in the UK and I don't know whether I will go back to riding this year...I need to be a hell of a lot fitter I know that much...but seeing this has reminded me what an amazing feeling it is to be allowed on the back of these fellow beings...the pony I rode for years sadly passed away at the beginning of this year so even though I have never had a horse or pony of my own I can imagine the connection you must have had with Abe...I truly wish you all the best for your future adventures and want to send you heartfelt "THANKS" for everything you've taught me over the years. Thanks Tash.
Thanks Gill! Abe is very happy being retired and in knee high grass!!
I had a little teary moment watching this. Tash, you are amazing! Abe is the best, the two of you inspired me to peruse my own friesian dreams and taught me so much through DMA & TH-cam. I was lucky enough to ride Abe a few times at the RSI and he made me feel like a princess and let me achieve my goal of riding changes! Thank you so much for sharing your amazing journey, thank you for sharing your knowledge and thank you for being such an inspiration! I can’t wait to see your new journey unfold 💕💕
Thanks Nicole!! xx
I know it is painful but you have built something so much larger than that facility. You've touched more lives and helped more riders than the arena could ever hold. There weren't enough stalls for all the horses you've given second chances to through horsemanship education. You are larger than life and we thank you for everything you've given us--and we're here for everything you still have to share.
Thank you lovely xx
Aww Tash, I got a little teary watching that. Sending you much love. You and Abe accomplished so many amazing things. I am forever grateful I got to come to Garfield years ago and have a lesson with Gianna and meet you in person. You are such an inspiration. I look forward to what you do next, so many new adventures await xx
Love you Tash xxx
Thank you Tash for sharing. I cried but ive to admit to begin with that it had some personal agenda. I always thought i had my break, my lottery win when i got the working student position with you. Well it didnt happen.. Ive have struggeled as you have, it seems like everything just washed away and never can be reached again. I hope from the bottom of my heart it will all work out, something even better for both of us
I almost cried. Omg 🤧 - you are a tough woman.
What beautiful gorgeous memories you have and I'm happy for you but yes, it made me cry. You are so strong and brave. I couldn't have done it. I'm betting you won't stay out if the saddle though! Best wishes with your journey ❤
Go get your dreams Phil and Tash. Welcome to the Sunshine Coast.
OMG I dont know how you did this and to say goodbye to your horses... you must ride again and while you can Ive enjoyed watching your channel thank you
I don't know why you had to give it up, but I do know it sucks. I would hate to have a dream given to me and then ripped away. I am horse crazy and I hope that I can get a horse soon and create the same bond with it like you have with him
Yes, thank you so much!
I wasn't planning on crying today!! I remember watching your videos well before you started building your last yard, and it's so sad that you had to let that go, but it looks like a new avenue has opened up for you and a new and exciting time is ahead! I can't wait to see everything you have in stall!!!
Can't wait for new adventures either!
Your the reason I can mount now without fear..love your book.best wishes
Much luck to you. I have watched countless videos! You are a SUPERSTAR
This made me cry, I’m so happy you have made the most out of your situation and used it as an advantage, to see the world from a different angle 💕 you’ve inspired me so much over the years, sometimes even just to get on my gelding after a bad few days. You’ve definitely reminded me many times not to take him or anything I have for granted. Good luck in the future Tash I can’t wait to see you on your new journey x
Thanks Kendall :)
Bless you in your new adventures wherever they take you and your family. I know how hard it is to rehome your equine partner and best friend. My situation while different shares the same loss. So yep crying along with you. I have spent the last 20 years trying to get my health back. It's not going at all how I had hoped but what can you do but keep trying. Subscribed and will look forward to our next visit. Stay safe stay strong.
I miss your videos. I hope your new adventure and dream includes horses. 🐴
I'm so happy to see you and your family again 🎉looking forward to the new beginnings!!⭐💜
I am so confounded by not knowing what happened. Does anyone know why this happened. Did she get kicked out? I thought she and Phil owned that horse ranch.
Hi Charlene - my mother owns it and it is now on the market to be sold. Time for a new adventure! We have moved interstate to a new house, and I promise I will be back riding, it will just look a little different :)
Me too what the hell happened!
God bless you and your family, I wish you every success in your new venture, please don’t stop riding and posting on TH-cam, your so inspiring and I would miss you greatly, all my love. Vicky wood from Hythe England. X
Thanks Vicky!! xx
Wow Tash. I know you will navigate successfully through your voyage through the ‘“unkown” even though I know you will feel very lost at times. Remember, if you don’t lose yourself you can’t find yourself. When you do find yourself I am willing to bet that you will find you knew her all along and standing right there beside you will be a horse standing in front of a beautiful barn and a beautiful equine boarding/training/riding facility that belongs to you. And once again you will help many riders of all ages become a riding superstar. One thing to always remember is always keep faith. What rings true in your heart is always and always will be true. I also pray for you and all your countrymen that tyrannical snake that stole your freedom and government is soon beheaded so AU may thrive.
Just watched this tash and cried all through it with you 🥺
I had chills throughout the whole video. I’ll forever be grateful to you for breeding my two horses. Zucker and Venus. They are my soul horses. I’d be lost without their love and they try so hard for me. Our bond is so deep. I can’t even imagine what you’ve gone through lately. I can’t help but think the rug got pulled out from under you and that makes me a bit angry. I don’t mean any disrespect to anyone by saying that. You have made me dream big in my life. In return, I hope all of your new dreams come true. You’re amazing lady. Luv ya xxx 🖤
Thank you and big hugs and kisses to Zucker and Venus!!
I will admit I cry a lot but while you where riding you made a cry and it felt different then other times. I think it’s because I love horses too and I’m still a novice and to think that if I ever find a horse that is a perfect match for me I would have to split up at one point.
Love the new channel videos, but really miss seeing you do them. Hope everything works out well for you in '22.
Why did you close down?😮
The online business still exists and has not closed down - it has just moved locations!!
This was so emotional to watch,I felt your sadness.
It made me cried 😭
I want to wish you all the best in your new adventure ❤️
I haven't watched you before, but I wish I had, I cried watching this . 😢 nit sure what made you walk away from all this but I wish you all the very best in your adventures xxx
Thanks xx
Made me cry to watch this, my heart breaks for you Tash. X
Don't hang up your golden boots yet!
Your video had me balling but smiling by the end. Onwards and upwards
i could never give that up it would be so hard
I miss you so much beautiful girl xxx
Aww thank you! We are loving the support. x
@@thephiltashshow2975 You have supported so many its about time you felt it back. You awakened me so much in not just my riding. Xxx
Your strong girl we love!! You
What if?... What if the new direction your life is taking is even better than where you were? Sometimes we are so busy "moving forward" that when a big change happens we think it brought us back to square one. You can't go back to square one, too much has happened since then. You are not the same person you were when you started your business, and in 10 years, you won't be the person you are today. I am sending you a huge Mom hug from the U.S. Let out all those tears, sit in your car and scream, then take a deep breath and take that first step into the new life that is ahead of you. P.s. Life is not fair, it never was, and never will be. Love, Mom
Yes!!!!!!!!! Love it!
I'm doing so good with my horse and I'm watching your ride ing success and it is helping me on my ride ing my horse and it is helping me with my horse thank you and I want to watch your ride ing your ride ing success thank you Nannette
He is a beautiful horse Nannette
So what happened? What will your students do now that they don’t have a place to go to? Did another dressage person buy that place? It was so drastic.
It wasn't our place it was my mothers and it is now for sale. Things change and new directions happen but that is the excitement of life :) We love serving all our riding clients online :)
Hi. I am just left with so many questions: what happened? why did it happen? why did you stop riding? why did you have to leave a (seemingly) viable and gorgeous business? Wishing you the very best, f*ck the olympics if that's a key issue; putting the bar high is a great thing but that doesn't mean failure if you don't quite make it. I loved your videos and hope you will come back to YRS, together with Alicia who is doing a great job.
If u go to the yrs channel, Tash did a video just before she handed over to Alicia, it explains everything but make sure u have a box of tissues at the ready♥️
@@emmamonks1982 Thanks. Of course I watched that but it really doesn't explain anything. I just hope she's doing well. Cheers
I promise I haven't stopped riding forever, and Your Riding Success is still my business, I am just taking a different role in it :) I will be back to do some videos with Alicia, but she's doing a great job with the riding videos :)
@@marianwalhout5901 It does though. Tash told us that her parents owned the property that RSI was developed on. Tash's dad passed a while ago, and last year, her mum made the call to sell the property in Garfield which meant that Tash and family needed to find a new home, as did the horses. Establishing that kind of facility all over again is exorbitantly expensive anyway, but even more so when one also needs to purchase the land to build it on. A different adventure called.
I just feel it seemed to be such a great business. Couldn’t they just buy the property of her Mum. Such a heartbreak selling all your horses. It also doesn’t explain why she gave up riding. I feel it’s all so sad.
So happy that your back ❤
So sad for you and disappointing. Good luck for the future.xjill
omg I’m 11 days late to this video BUT the sadness I felt watching this video😭 like it feels like I just lost a part of me😔
So. I'm new to your channel, and wondering why you are leaving? Was there...something that happened? Or was it just...you needed something new?
A bit of both!!
OMG who is cutting onions!?
My hearts broken for u in so many levels xx
