    They look fantastic. A lot of horses need bigger jumps to back them off a bit; when I was jumping my horse (we do dressage now, lol) he would be a disaster over anything under 2ft, but bump it up to 2’9-3ft and he would find his own distance and be a complete packer. I think Finn will be that way too!

  • @aramoreequine9738
    @aramoreequine9738 Před 4 lety +43

    I feel like you guys should get some open front jumping boots because you are jumping higher then just cross rails so it would be good just so if he dose knock down a jump it won’t put so much pressure on his legs if it dose happen and even back boots if feels needed. But great job today 🎉🎉🎉

    A couple weeks ago I commented a comment talking about Finn. I thought that he was always going to refuse and he won’t jump high... I didn’t believe in him. But recently Finn is being amazing! I should have never doubted him! He is a truly amazing little pony! Keep up the work gabby and Finn!

      He's actually a really good height, 14.2 ( which is how tall Finn is ) are good jumpers. I have a 15.3 and a 14.2, they both do eventing and the 14.2 competes higher than the 15.3 possible ever will haha! The 15.3 only does BE90 ( BE means British Eventing, the 90 stand for 90cm ) but the 14.2 does BE110 ( british eventing at 110cm! ) - my friend has a 14.2 and she has done jumps unto 135cm puissance. It depends on their schooling and how willing they are, not just height! Finn is a good height for Gabby and she looks much better suited on him to be fair aha.

  • @imaginehorses8341
    @imaginehorses8341 Před 4 lety +17

    Finn needs to learn to flex when standing still and vertical flexion so he is able to use his body correctly to balance himself, do small circles and make him have a curve in his body. Finn has developed a neck that is muscled along the bottom and he needs to reverse the way his neck muscles so he can lower his head. A few lessons with a western trainer would be really good because western uses these methods more, in English it is never really done.

    There’s a lot Gabby can learn from training Finn - would be great to get him off the forehand and working more with his hind end. It does take time but it will help both learn. Gabby is a calm/quiet/bold rider - Training Finn for the next year or so will advance her skills so that she will know more for the next horse she gets. Safe riding💜

    @insylianssyl1703 Před 4 lety

    hi! sorry for the overload of info but if you follow along pretty much starting with the canter work these are the specific points i saw that you might want to know! i hope this helps!! i just wanted to say when your trainer says straighten him out to get the correct lead, you want to bend him around your inside leg to help him get the correct lead! also having a half seat is fine but you should try to lean back and get a full seat instead of bracing off your stirrups. you also tend to lean forward when you bring him down into the trot, so try and lean back and have equal weight on both stirrups. you need to keep contact too, especially in the canter and trot. he looks like he’s trying to lean and counter bend for you so you want to bring your inside rein up and support him with your legs! if you have a full seat he’ll listen to your transitions more as you’ll be able to bring him down easier, and it’ll be smoother. his canter looks like it tends to be kind of short so you want to lengthen it out by pushing him forward sigh your legs but holding him back with the reins. this should help with collection as well, which you seem to need. if he gets a little bit wily before the jump put more rein on him and support him with your legs so you’re essentially ‘setting him up’ for the jump. look to where you’re going, eyes always ahead instead of down right before the jump! he’ll be able to feel it and you have to look ahead so you can get ready to set him up for after the jump or potentially the next jump. bend bend bend! it’ll really help with his canter and going to the jumps, especially in your turns too and when he’s pulling against you support him with your legs and lift the reins to help support him (he seems to do this in turns especially, so push with inside and support with outside to get that nice bend. you want a snappier 2-point over the jump as well, so lean forward with your chest. you really need that full seat too, and you seem to need to push up with your chest instead of just forward and always keep your eyes up! always eyes up and to where you’re going! overall a good lesson, but to be improved! your last jump was really good too!

    hi!! :) i'd have gabby practice mounting the correct (and safer) way! left hand holding the reins and right hand on the pommel of the saddle instead of the cantle - this way your right hand does not have to move when you get on, and it is so much safer in terms of having more immediate control if your horse decides to walk off! it also is easier on the horse's back in terms of weight distribution. just a suggestion :)

    This lesson really showed that Finn has great potential. Now he needs regular flat and grid work to produce the muscle, balance and flexibility required to progress into a terrific jumper. It would also help Gabby get a deeper and stronger seat although all the work seems focused on developing a light forward seat🤷‍♀️. Need to be able to have both for stickability in my opinion 😆

    Someone thing that I personally think gabby and Sophie should both do is flat work aswell as jumping. Circles serpentines leg-yield etc. It teaches the horses to bend round your leg and hopefully they will start to use their backs and form a nice shape. I understand it’s boring but it’s what I do with my horses and they move so much nicer now. Please don’t hate it’s only a suggestion xx

    Honestly you guys have come so far, when gabby practices jumping she should try sitting before the jump and then going into jump position as then if the horse spook shell be sitting and have more control to slow them. Her and finn are such a good jumping pair😘

    When Finns does something right make a HUGE deal out of it. That way he knows that’s where he needs to be and that he is a good boy. Gabby did a good job with petting finn and also using her voice to tell him that he is good and safe lol. she should try sitting in her saddle and stretching tall coming to the jump last few strides so she can ask finn to jump up to her and not fit an extra stride in. Looks good!

    There will always be ups and downs with horses, however hopefully this is a sign that there will now be more ups than downs with Finn. Perhaps if he’s being ridden a bit more and he has settled in to his new temporary home that’s making a difference too. Even the saddle might be helping 👍 I agree with everything Fionna said about Finn and Gabby, does she need to adjust her helmet though, I know she used to have a habit of touching it I seem to recall, so it might just be that 😊 Finn did seem so much happier and he’s definitely got more jumping ability than Storm, he’s going to make a super jumping pony, maybe even more of a jumper than hunter 😊 one thought, rather than completely releasing the rein to pat him ( although the release of rein is good), she could try just scratching by his wither, as a lot of horses do respond well to that too. Great lesson 👏👏👏

    • @DayByDayVlogs
      @DayByDayVlogs  Před 4 lety +2

      When he trips her pony tail pushes the padding up and she has to adjust it. Regardless she has a new helmet under the tree! I agree there will be lots of ups and downs still but I think consistent work with a firm rider will really help finn more and more.

    I think that it’s great that gabby is taking lessons on Finn (even if she may not enjoy them) it’s going to make her a better rider in the long run! She learns so much about horsemanship with Fiona and I think that’s absolutely amazing that Fiona said she will never discourage that. I know it may sound weird but here in Texas I have Gone to a few stables that don’t promote horsemanship as much as Fiona does. Gabby has grown so much over the years and is only getting better! Much love!❤️💕

  • @abloulou7
    @abloulou7 Před 4 lety +4

    In a personal opinion I think Finn might need his teeth floated because every time gabby adds just a tad bit of pressher he puts his head up.i had this trouble to and my horse would put up her head like Finn is so it's just a personal opinion

    • @karleeyoungblut8456
      @karleeyoungblut8456 Před 4 lety +1

      @abloulou7 Před 4 lety +2

      Karlee Youngblut but don't you think they might start him with a loose rein because you can obviously tell that when he did those stops gabby was going forward and still having tight reins but I do remember now but it was just a personal opinion

    if gabby is trying to qualify for pony finals, i think you all should be aware that voice commands won't work in kentucky here! although they're a cool party trick and impressive, if a judge, especially at finals, here you making noise (even clucking sents a bad impression) they can deduct your scores! just wanted to let you know before finn gets too reliant!

    They look great together! However I think Gabby’s saddle fits him much better and that is one of the reasons he is behaving better. It looks like Sophia’s saddle is tight in the shoulder and it comes up and down in the back when you post/2 point. I would have it checked by a saddle fitter look at it or just use gabby’s saddle. Not hate just trying to help!❤️❤️

    Hi guys :) just a quick message to say Gabby did amazingly well on Finn, wow can that pony jump. Also when I rode I always was on a 14.2hh gelding, and i am quite tall 5ft 8, so that always worked for me size wise. Also wouldn't it be amazing if Gabby jumped Finn, then rode Storm in dressage,/ flat work , as it's clear those two will forever have a bond, and Sophie could try finn in trot poles and work up to very small jumps - a bit at a time :) to build her confidence up, because she's an amazing rider . Polly is amazing for her as well, even though shes big, she;s gentle. Oh and Denver is gorgeous :) such a kind boy. That riding school you are at has amazing horses and ponies - I think the pretty paint mare is called Lily - hope thats her name, she's gorgeous too. Fiona reminds me so much of my old riding instructor, she brought my confidence up by helping me so much, and I feel Fiona does this for Sophie.
    Storm is a complete sweetheart :) and he takes care of Sophie, but with Gabby he's a cuddle bug as from the first time she saw him he came straight to her, and he knows she's his mumma, but Sophie is his auntie lol :) I love how you do what's best for your horses and Stella Belle, is amazing too, and her little mini Bff's - Willow and Gracie are adorable too.
    I hope you don't mind this long message, but I love your vlogs and would love to know if Finn will be Gabby's jumping horse rather than getting her a new one. I think that the horse you wanted to try was meant to stay with his or her owner, as signs pointed to Finn being the horse that Gabby could go far on in her jumping, but still have her beloved Storm to have fun on , and as I have always said, getting to go and play with your horses - especially in the snowy weather is lovely :) and Finn and Sophie will get a bond that way too.
