That is not a BED for a horse. That's a stinge! HELL. My little 14:3 mare had a much bigger & deeper bed than that! That's NOT a bed for an Event Horse. Less money on Ms. Plunkett's hideous Ascot outfits & spoiled hospitality holidays, William & more money spent on shavings U top world class event riders really are the pitts! U DON'T KNOW THE HELL U R OR THE HELL U CAUSE. BUT U WILL! YOU'RE GOING BACK TO SCHOOL LITTLE BOY. I don't want to see Ms Plunkett so keep gout gills, well away from me! That is, if you wear the trousers in that relationship, William. And I don't want a silly possy of prats near me either. I'M STEALING YOUR HORSE. I LOVE LITTLE FIRE. I will look after him.for free. And you William can actually start doing something for the greater good of horses! Horses ears covered & restricted by hideous fashion accessories.. yeah well riders don't listen to their horses ears do they. Most people only love what horses give them, they don't love horses! You will be seeing me shortly.
I live near him, and I love to hate him sometimes, great guy to talk too😄
Hi
Well well well just found this who do we have here, my sister, no less, if you pick this comment up well , speak to me or text (you're usually somewhere elsewhere in the world anyway. Happy birthday 27/7/ 2023, I wish there were less years between us we would have been closer, howeve.🤷🏻♂️👎🏻. I am sad for that. Love you bab X
,😊
Baggins is still going if ur wondering. He jumped 1 metre the other day but i also got a new horse named lilly and she is such a challenge
HI!, It's kelly[ in case you forgot im the new owner of baggins] was that black horse is the first clipps mr baggins
What about Billy the red? So sad to put him down after all.
Can anyone tell me what u use for the neck strap is it just the stirrup leathers ?
Wife ?! I thought you were his mum!!
This video is so much underrated!! I think we all have had a Dennis or a Perfect Pete at some time and to be honest, those horses are the ones I love the most, It never gets boring with them^^
If you run out of muddy fields please feel to borrow mine 😂😂😂
This is why talented people fall at the fences of finances and it becomes so elitist ! If she is that good that she is capable of winning big surely some funding for her??? Of course her compassion for others is also shining through and if her heart lays there then I wish her well but she should not be allowed to miss out on her dream of winning a medal xxx good luck Alex with all you do xxx
Kazu has made his country proud, his family are so supportive as it shows in his relaxed character and he has gained a huge amount of fan on his superb horsemanship at Tokyo 2020 - i am totally in awe of him :-)
I have always been upfront about having a neck strap, mainly if i get left behind and need that extra rein length and whoosh - but then i think of the horses comfort way before i think of other peoples opinions lol
what clippers do u guys use?
CBD oil will help her with her brain injury recovery.
Hi. How do you prepare the horses for going abroad? Like Kentucky? I am very excited to watch the Fox Equestrian Team in action! Have a great ride in Kentucky!
Absolutely amazing tip re: keeping the old shoe,fab 🙏👍
What is aiden's breed?

Good video very informative 👍
Really enjoying your videos and how you really take care with how you look after the horses and follow the evidence. I liked the interview with your vet too - nice to see the vet being treated as the team and not just and SOS as you said. I've also been enjoying World Horse Welfare's videos - this one on travelling came to mind as I've been reading Barbara Padalino's research on travelling horses some very great distances: kzread.info/dash/bejne/gaphj5Oxlqq_nKg.html
Thanks for the information. It's very helpful.
Thanks for sharing!
I’m in my 30s and when I was a kid wearing a bicycle helmet was not considered ‘cool’ and I’m a girl. And occasionally I’d ride a horse bareback without a helmet, but if the yard owner caught me I’d get a hiding (with my Dads’s permission!). When my husband was a boy he said he would have been mocked mercilessly if he wore a helmet. But how times have changed. He’s a triathlete and the number of times his riding helmet has saved his life I lose count. He’s been knocked off his bike 3 times by a car. Now I’d always ride a horse with both a helmet and a neck strap and where necessary a body protector. Anything to give you confidence. But it’s also simple common sense. The less likely you are to fall or the less likely you are to hurt yourself when you do is the way forward. If you don’t have the right gear on and you do fall and are seriously injured, hindsight isn’t going to help you out. Be safe people 👊🏻
Go for the lime green and stand out...loud and proud!!! Fox loves his chickens...you love your colours and it certainly goes with your personality Alex!!! All of my Best Wishes to you and good luck for your amazing future ahead of you now!!! Charlotte. X
Awwwww! She's going to be my coach when I can ride again🤣!!! What a fantastic trainer and coach!!! Wow!!! 💖👏
Wow! Very well done!!! I love your enthusiasm and fearlessness!!! Best Wishes to you...your in excellent hands!!! And you most certainly are deserving and capable of the next Olympics...all the best to you Kazu!!! Charlotte.
Awwwww! Wow! What an inspirational person you are!!! I have to have brain surgery in a few months...fingers crossed because of Covid. But I completely empathise just so much! I used to be a biomedical scientist, but had to change career to suit my needs as I had a stroke. Since being very unwell over this summer I have had to slow down too...but it's the same feeling for me...why does everyone else have so much more energy than me? I can't sleep for four to five days straight at the moment, but that will hopefully change soon! I get what you say when you see others coping with no sleep, and your taking breaks! But that's part of the battle...ensuring you don't over do it and can recharge! I might take a leaf out of your book, and rather than work non stop all day and then having another sleepless night, take power naps to catch up with sleep and make more quality days in the process! What a chapter you've been through...and the kind hearted nature of your yard team is just so amazing! I'm self employed...so I might just have to be kind to myself🤣! Best Wishes to you and for your future...and please keep us all updated! Much love, Charlotte. X
Such a sweet guy...and talented! Great work ethic and rider, with a big heart! Such a great team you have! My dream is to ride again after surgery...I adore dog behavioural training, but would love to start competing one day too! You guys are a huge inspiration!!! X☺️
That touched my heart ... that is amazing and inspirational! Wishing all the best with recovery! ☺️🐎
I am so sorry to hear about the loss of Chilly morning. All that’s left are the good memories off this brave and fine horse.
Butt's Aiden :)
Such a wonderful and talented horse.
Good old mums! Mine never lets me leave the start box without a neck strap on, something Jill Watson taught her when she was young. For FEI we just attach it to the breastplate with a flash strap by the chest, attaching it to the saddle pulls it back into the wrong place.
So you have ridden a horse named after the capital of Norway.
Wonderful horse. Another wonderful horse was Fatty, my first ride at Knowlton in 1971 😊
Good luck Alex, you are such a responsible young woman. Your going to do great whatever you choose. 😊
Very good ! Love this one!
I love horses, you are such a nice guy
Lovely poem, young lady! It’s as though you were with them in their race to flee and the coming of calm again. Please keep writing. You have a gift with words. Be safe. 💜🦋😷
I love competing at Dorset showground!
Surely that would hurt your hands if you caught the sharp end
Super! Love hearing about other South African's based in the UK!
What saddles does he use
Ben Stone he uses Albion saddles
What boots does William wear
Ben Stone the horses wear equilibrium ones but not sure on William
Pretty job. First time I have seen the 1/2 head. Interesting.
The horses best interests at heart first and foremost and then the riders, of course! What a difference that makes. A true professional.
Jaw drop. A bit less bridle at this level?! Brilliant!
Lovely ladies and chat. Thanks much.
