How refreshing to see someone who knows the Right way to start a youngster with ground work đ
A lady who certainly knows what she is doing, and lovely to see Reds training done in a kind slow way no pressure. As you say Evie it is TRUST X
Really beautiful to see someone start a horse off with groundwork!! What a lovely trusting boy - great work and I loved seeing the limited number of repeats!
Evie this is extremely interesting to watch, i loved it!!
And everything you did with him makes complete sense, as you listen to the voiceover!!
Fascinating stuff, and definitely not boring, ill be watching the rest of this journey!! đ x.
What a lovely boy!
Really interesting to see your interpretation of the process, Red gained so much confidence. Great to watch and not repetitive at all! More please!
It's super interesting! Thanks for your explanations. I look forward to seeing your and Red's progress. đ
I'm biased, I just LOVE a big red bay!!!â€â€â€ He is gorgeous! Great job with the join up. It can be a bit controversial but if done correctly it is a great way to bond with a horse. My boy Lemme just loves the library work because of join up. †Thank you for sharing this process.
Yes it is so controversial isnât it, I was a bit dubious about what sort of response I would get to it but I really find it beneficial. I think everyone has their own way of doing things. Great to hear so many people find it as beneficial as I do xx
Very far from boring! I absolutely love seeing it all in such detail, and can't wait to watch the next instalments of the process â€
Thank you! Iâll get editing now so it shouldnât be too long to wait đ€đ»â€ïž
I absolutely loved this vlog. It was fascinating watching you work with Red. He is a beautiful horse. He seems extremely intelligent & has a kind nature. I especially loved how quickly he learned to respect your space. He has a stunning trot, and he is showing to have an ability to remain balanced (seen when you lunged him in the arena). This is going to be an awesome partnership. â€
Not boring! Very interesting. Love his floaty trot! â€â€â€
Not boring at all! Thank you so much for taking the time to put this video together in amongst all the other things you're doing :)
Very refreshing to see an natural gentle slow approach. You clearly know your stuff and itâs lovely to see the bond between you both grow! Iâm recently new to your channel and I absolutely love your videos! His future is looking very bright xx
Very enjoyable video of Red and his progress. He looks so calm and taking it all in. So nice to see how relaxed he is as he learns all these new experiences. He is so handsome too. Am excited to see the next instalment â€đ„°
You never fail to please. Your videos are such a joy to watch. Loving your journey with Red, Donut is my favourite and wow Red is really showing great potential! Looking forward to following Red's journey :)
Loved every second. Fabulous đđđ
Not boring at all !! Loved seeing the full process
Love that you make do with what you got. I also love the process so am excited to watch both of you grow! Thank you for the voice over.
I don't even ride. I used to as a kid. But I still found this absolutely fascinating. You have such a calm and confident energy that you somehow seem to be able to transfer to your horses. Red seems a little star. Very curious but trusting and no bothered about the pidgeon or the doggies much.
Loved the join up and watching how you're so intuitive and patientđ„°
I loved this vlog, especially as I am just starting my young 4 year old. I found it very informative and definitely NOT boring, I'll be keeping my eye for more of these vlogs đ„°
Loved this video! Definitely not boring, so nice to see how youâre starting him â€
It's not boring at all! I have backed and brought on many young horses and I still find it all interesting, I can imagine those who haven't and those who want to learn will find this very interesting indeed! He's doing so well, can't wait to see your progress with him! x
Ah thank you! He's progressed really well x
Absolutely interesting and looking forward to all the steps with your gorgeous boy!
That was a very informative video, not boring at all!!!
Super interesting and educational. Looking forward to the next parts. â€
I absolutely loved this video. So interesting and I learnt sooo much, thank you for sharing lots of the ground work and not just ridden! I might even have to watch it all over again to absorb all the information. You definitely donât have to worry if it is interesting or not because it definitely is! Keep up the amazing vids! Also Red Is gorgeous nad going to be a cracking horse â€
Ah thatâs great news thank you! Iâm glad you found it interesting and useful! X
What a beauty!
This was an absolutely great video to watch and learn from, thanks x.
Loved this. I'm just starting the process myself with my 4 year old so I've definitely got some tips. Thank you! Looking forward to the next.
He is gorgeous and â€the way youâre teaching him thanks for showing how you started him great video
Very interesting. He will be a great project as he is a lovely , sensible guy. Can't wait for the next video.
Thank you! Heâs such a quick learner and tries so hard x
Such a good boy and so smart to learn so well so quickly. Great job!
He really does learn super quickly! X
He's such a beautiful boy and so smart your new baby is going to be amazing Evie can't wait to see who he becomes for you good luck with his schooling.
I am excited too! â€ïž
Found this so interesting - what a privilege to watch Red's journey from the very beginning. Love your patience and understanding with this young horse, and he is catching on quick isn't he. Gorgeous boy. Excited to see how he progresses. Thank you for sharing.
He learns super quickly! Im excited to be able to look back on this in 6 months to see what progress we make đ€ â€ïž
Looking back is a good way of seeing how far, and fast, things have come along. Excited for you both and a privilege to be able to go along with you.
He is one gorgeous boy. Nicely done
He is isnât he. Thank you
@@ELSEventing He is. His movevent is fantastic. I bet you get great dressage scores on him
I love this video!!! â€â€ Used to work at a stable backing horses in my 20ties as well! Really like how incredibly calm you are! This horse is going to be a really nice one I think!!! Can't wait for more! â€â€
Ah I love teaching the babies, so rewarding xx
Thank you for such a great vlog. You are a wealth of knowledge. Thankks for letting us watch your process
That is very kind thank you x
Nice to see you back â€I look forward to these â€
Thank you! Just needed a mini break x
Absolutely fascinating Evie, please don't think for a second this was in any way boring. :)
Thank you x
Very enjoyable videosâŠ. Lovely to see a young horseâs progression â€
Loved this video Evie, so interesting. Looking forward to watching Redâs progress. He really is a beautiful boy.
Very well done, lovely to watch this, when i was in my early 20's i heard about Monty Roberts because the queen's Mum had asked him to back all the house hold cavalry horses, the horse whisperer film was not out yet and today people are riding with no tack!! but 30 yrs agO we were far from that.. .. i read the book Monty Roberts Join Up and i was a young wife in France at the time and i would tell everyone the same story you told about the dominant Mare, everyone thought i was crazy, I'm so glad to see 30 yrs later young influencers doing join up, bravO great to see.. Thank You
Ah I've got a few monty books sat on my coffee table right now where I'm re reading a few bits. I think he was a very clever man who was able to finally bring good horsemanship to the masses. Certainly marks a turning point in my eyes where the horse world started listening to horses more x
@@ELSEventing Yes you have to take what you need and leave the rest, i think your interpretation of licking and chewing as reflexion makes sense, be wary always of new age ideas and adapt and take the best bits as you are doing... it was revolutionary in the old days that's why i was so taken by it, just good to see people like you interpreting it and sharing your found wisdom as an influencer
I used join up with my horse a few weeks after I got him, worked wonders! Great to see someone else using the technique!!
Red looks fab xx
I love it for creating a bond with them! Donât use it often but think itâs really useful with new horses and young ones to gain mutual trust and respect quickly xx
@@ELSEventing he was going through that teenage tantrum phase, kicking, biting, planting, threatening to rear or buck, and was getting nowhere with him. Despite the nay-sayers I gave join up a try, and he settled down and stopped all the dangerous behaviour! 10/10 would do again!!
What a good boy! Seems a real try-er! đ really enjoyable vid đ
Yes he really likes to get things right! x
Fabulous đ€©not enough people understand horse talk & the way a herd works ie that the Alpha moves their feet so no eye contact( a predator makes eye contact ) . We always found lowering their head to be a reward & a very safe place for them ie when a horse is in a heightened state youâll notice head is up when head is lowered it is safe & they can relax also teaching them to back up by moving the their feet are all very important in the groundwork. Respect of space & a safe place is the name of the game = Trust . The old adage where the nose goes the feet go is very true in a horses world & you want those feet to follow you & move where you want in a respectful manner & not in your space .These are all very important parts of a young horses ground work way before backing occurs . I think heâs going to be a good fit for you , a lot to like with this big boy Evie x
Ah you've put it into much better words than I did! I think we are building some good trust now x
Love it, you work with horses as I do. Great video thank you.
loved this so interesting and will be excited to see the whole journey, he is gorgeous đ
He's going to be a smart boy x
The great thing about waiting until your horse is four is that they can go straight into work.
Edited to add that watching the Dually head collar in use is encouraging me to buy one for my horse. I'm currently using a stallion chain to lead him.
Yes exactly! If I had owned him as a 4yo, I would probably have sat on him a couple of times then turned him away until he was 4. But with him being quite a big boy I think being left has given him time to mature ready to crack on for ridden work this summer and autumn đ„łâ€ïž
Most interesting to watch you and Red - look forward to the journey. Thank you.
Very interesting and helpful thank you
if i had billions of dollars i would so hope that you would allow me to hire you to train me and all pony and horses i owned , i do not own any anymore , i only owned a few in my youth. but if i did now .... oh my word lady , you would be my first pick!!! smart young horse you have there btw : )
Good video, I'm looking forward for the next one and definitely don't find it dull.
Your indoor school does slightly remind me of a horror film set, though. I think it's the scrawled letters on the walls in combination with the exposed power panel. Maybe you could diversify your income by renting it out at Hallowe'en?
(For clarification, the line above is a joke, not an insult. My indoor school looks exactly the same.)
Ahahaha!! Yes it does đ I shan't be going down there after dark now...!!!
Will his tail grow?
Yep! He had got in with his sheep friends before we collected him and they chewed it off đ its already grown a bit which you will hopefully get to see on future videos! x
American style . I've never chased horses about.
Theres lots of routes to Rome! Not saying my way is the only way, just documenting how I do it đ„°
Not just the American way itâs true horsemanship. Not chasing him around just moving his feet so he understands the pecking order ie the Alpha mare ( boss ) keeps him safe & will move the feet of the whole herd when needed

Great reply. Such humility and intelligence â@@ELSEventing
