That surface sounds like bloody concrete

Is it just me or does that footing sound really hard to you guys? Like dirt on hard ground, not good.

+ItsAHorsesThing It sounds like the ground is a little hard from the air temp, but it looks like fine footing. I think it's the footsteps echoing in a closed space, since the sound of hitting a ground pole definitely isn't that loud from this far.

+ItsAHorsesThing The footing sounds, and looks very shallow (more-so on the outside track than the inside). I ride in a covered ring that is slightly more open but never sounds like this and visually has more footing. It looks like there is some sort of tile that is on the left, at the entrance to the ring and not sure how far out it goes towards the ring. I'd be interested to know what kind of base this arena has underneath the footing. All of the horses look sound, though.

+Cerrenade if you have just a covered arena it's not going to echo because it's more open so you can't compare the sounds

+Cerrenade I ride in a completely closed arena, and it never sounds echoey like this, more like sand being stepped on. So that leads me to believe that this footing is really shallow, which is a shame since it's a nice size arena.

I would just say, when you land your jump, you are collapsing onto his neck. Keep your two point longer and don't fall forward. If he stops or decks out after that jump, you're gonna be on the ground.

My coach would never put the jump up after I got bad distances to all my jumps😂😂😂

Omg I was about to say those horses look a lot like Luna and Ralph and then I checked who the channel was and I face palmed so hard

I'm not trying to be mean or disrespectful, but I think if both of you worked on solidifying your leg, jumping bigger would be more comfortable, you wouldn't get popped out of the tack as often, and you wouldn't land in a heap as much (like landing on their neck). This is just my personal opinion, but you guys are both wonderful riders with wonderful horses :)

The rider needs to sit up a lot more after the jump and controle the horse after the jumps aswell

Marvellous Monkeys all of the girls in this lesson don’t even own these horses anymore so what’s the point in commenting

Ralph's canter looks kinda scary to go into

You guys look incredible! Ralph holds himself so nicely now and his jumping is coming on so so much! And luna has improved immensely too! She is so smooth and confident over the jumps... It's lovely to see how far you have both come :)))

I really enjoyed this video!! I love how both of you progressed towards the end. Ralph did that little halting thing before he jumped it the first time, but it got sooo much smoother each time you went around. Luna looks great too, her canter is sooo cute!! It's like a lope. Great job guys!! Love u soooo much!!

Omigod there is just something about Luna's jump that I love. It's like she puts minimal effort into it but still clears it. Idk if that's even what I'm seeing but I love it lol.

Maya and Lauren, I cannot explain how much I love you guy's channel! You both inspired me to ride English! I have literally probably watched 3/4 of your videos like twenty times XD you guys are awesome and stay awesome! 😍

You guys have great position over the jumps. Ralph and Luna have come so far since you guys got them last year. Love watching your videos!!!! :)

This was great Lauren! You showed Ralph you were in control and he did exactly what you wanted. You guys are awesome!

I really like the way your trainer teaches!! She seem very good! You both are amazing riders and your horses are absolutely stunning! I always get excited when I watch your videos. :)

Love how much you are posting now! Keep doing what you are doing, love your videos!

You guys are so amazingly talented! Plus, I took some of your advice from a question I asked on your ask, and it completely worked and is really helping my riding improve so thank you so much! You guys are my inspiration. Keep up the amazing riding! ❤️

Awesome video! :))) Luna and Ralph are looking great! Love their jumps - both have a very unique look to them! Love Ralph's more forward energy for it, and Luna's effortless, almost slow method.

I really don't want to sound rude in any way whatsoever but I noticed you have Luna in a Pelham right now and you said she is becoming more responsive in your most recent video, have you talked to your trainer about maybe trying her in a Port? It can help her get off her front end a bit more and not get so long and low for the show ring. That's just an observation from these videos and it may also be just the way she's build. Again I'm not trying to tell you what to do or anything but I know it helped my guy get off his forehand and engaging his hind end more when I took him from a Pelham to a Port. :)

You can tell when any of the horses are going to refuse 😂 Try to laugh it off and have more impulsion. Everything is a learning experience. Your doing good :) Just don't do the same thing twice ;)

I think your coach is wonderful by the way! I have heard wonderful things from people I ride with since you guys are near my barn. She is a wonderful rider too!

Maya and Lauren, I love you're channel! You girls are the best equestrian youtubers out there. Ralph and Luna are so cute, it makes me want a horse so bad!! BTW, I have been riding for 3 1/2 years.

why are you two so perfect?? I want to be just like you! You are a huge inspiration to me!! ❤️❤️❤️

a tip I have is to look straight. I realised both of you are looking down at the neck. I recommend looking at the wall in front of you. And if Their is another jump look at that jump when you go over

He's getting really annoyed by that bit and all the pressure constantly on his mouth :'p I wonder what exercises you could do to achieve more softness and relaxation?

You and Ralph are looking great can't wait to see more videos for this season!

Ralph looks so good when he uses his back end like that! Yall are making a lot of progress. It is very noticeable.

Hey Maya and Lauren I have an awesome tip that I learned from my trainer for your horses not cutting corners in a canter ( I'm not saying they have been but if Luna and Ralph just randomly get in the habit of cutting corners this is awesome advice) so, when you first approach the short side of the ring coming to the first corner, correct your horses once you approach the first corner, then don't correct them on the second one on the short side. Your horses shouldn't cut the second one. It is awesome, when I was corrected my horse on the second one as well as the first, she kept cutting both of the corners and it was so frustrating XD just some helpful advice if they ever cut corners in the future! Love you guys!❤️

Love this! You both are amazing riders!

The stride distance for those poles to the jump are so off and the ground sounds so bad 😖 so many things wrong I can’t even and it’s none of the horses

I like how your coach teaches. And I've taught at this farm too---a few year ago or more :D

You guys are seriously amazing! I love your videos so much :) I can't wait to own a horse one day.

Your trainer reminds me a lot of my trainer haha she seems really cool

Awesome job! You both look great!

Luna is so cute when she jumps she looks like she can clear anything 👌💖

how high were you guys jumping at the end? by the way loved it!

You guys are honestly my riding goals 🙌 do you have any key tips on how to maintain your two-point during a jump or before a jump 💖💖

you both did an excellent job.

Your trainer is a wonderful Landry and her methods are Awesome, my trainer has the exact same methods.

When Ralph refused the jumps I've been told to still push them on even if they can't jump it or knock it down still do it because when your instructor told u to do it again Ralph can always do that because he doesn't want to do it so when he doesn't want to do it he will always do that because he will know that u will let him go round but if u make him go over then he will do it

Great job! That jump was so big! I'd probably be scared lol.

i think you guys are amazing riders

They are amazing jumpers!

It's amazing how far they have come! Ralph striding is so beautiful! Luna has a jump that takes my breath away! You guys are such good riders some day I want to be just like you! How high was Ralph jumping? Btw LOOVE YOUU GUUUYS!!!❤️❤️❤️🐴🐴

The improvement is really noticeable! Ralph is looking awesome and with the summer nearing he will keep on improving! Luna is looking good too and much better with a crop. I have to ride my quarter horse with a crop but I never hit him it is just him knowing I have it there to get enough forward movement towards the jumps.

There's a thing called patting/stroking your horse don't know if you've ever heard of it but it's to let the horse know that what they did was good and to say well done. How is your horse meant to know if what they did was right or wrong if you don't tell them or if you're just negatively tell them. Stroking your horse for working well isn't hard

Actually a more effective way to reward your horse is releasing pressure Petting and stroking is something that we taught them feels good It's kind of like saying "good boy" to a dog, it doesn't feel good to them but it lets them know we're pleased

Yeah, when I'm done riding my horse, I like to give him (almost) no leg and tons of rein. I also let him go at his speed and direction, and there is a hay stack thingy in the corner of the arena, so we sometimes stop over there if he did really well.

I love Mayas landing position for some reason. Like she doesn't even tip forward at all she just stays upright.

OMG!! this was posted on my birthday!!!!

Are you guys going to the greenhawk sale this year

I think you have a great coach, my coach is the same way! It's all about respect when it comes to horses! (:

when I land a jump I always lose my reins what do I do

How tall is the biggest jump??

Luna and Ralph have amazing movement they are so smoth luna's jumping is awesome

What platform do you use to edit your videos? Thank you :)

how high was the last jump you were jumping?? :)

And Luna and Maya look great also I love Luna so much yalls horses are like my dream horses!

What clip is that? Your a great rider btw ^_^

i had a lesson yesterday and the school horse i ride (or used to ride I'm switching horses since she's too hard for me to ride right now) was really spooky. There were a couple pole in front and after the jump and she kept spooking and sort of doing what ralph is doing but then we took some poles away and she was better even though she still refused at first. Im not saying you or your trainer did anything wrong but it would probably be easier for you AND your horse if you start out with only a couple poles and gradually add more?

I'm really confused as to why youre using draw reins and carrying a crop, draw reins are mostly used on more fast, powerful horses to have more control over. They shouldnt be used as a training aid.

@janetcooke9924

If your talks about Maya, she isn't using draw reins. She's using a Pelham bit with double reins rather than a single rein with roundings. Maybe Luna is strong but lazy 😊
