  • ›› In this video, I talk you guys through all the clips of Khal from when he was ridden for the first time, through to competing him up to 1m. He has only been ridden for less than a year so obviously he still has a long way to go, but we've definitely come a long way! I put in clips of some fails that I've never uploaded before because I know if I had uploaded them at the time, people would've been all over it like a rash but I hope that showing you that I am capable of schooling him through them and how we improved, that I'll deter some of the online trainers. If you want to give me advice or constructive criticism, then please watch the first half of this video first: • REACTING TO HATE COMME... Hope you enjoy the video guys! I had so much fun making it and watching through all the old videos :D

    You've produced him beautifully and carefully, good on you! This is so nice to watch because Khal is a prime example of a horse that isn't the most flashy or scopey-looking youngster but when given the time has blossomed into a very capable horse. Lovely to watch well done to you both x

  • @thepumpkinimp
    @thepumpkinimp Před 5 lety +6

    Khal is such a lovely horse. You've trained him very well! I did feel bad for the poor baby when he spooked at you dad though! It was so sweet! He was just like "Oh God! Human! Don't hit!"

  • @nala3055
    @nala3055 Před 5 lety +7

    It's lovely how sweet natured he is! He's obviously quite spooky but it's wonderful to see that he looks to you as his rider for confidence when he is afraid of something

  • @TheHorseLady1212

    i love how he literally becomes a mammoth in the cold months

  • @lizlavoie5672
    @lizlavoie5672 Před 5 lety +39

    I have no idea how the heck you stayed on when he did that huge buck going over that jump. My goodness I most likely would have landed on my face!Being thrown off balance and trying to stay on while trying to get him not to run off, and at the same time getting him back to you. Wow! That’s a lot to do at the same time. You handle those situations so well.Khal is just a beautiful boy. You can see Fiona in him by the way he just locks on to the fences. Such a good boy!

  • @MrsTonySoprano
    @MrsTonySoprano Před 5 lety +18

    You’re such a brave calm rider. Great job helping Khal build his confidence.
    You both worked hard and it’s paying off.
    Thanks, as always for sharing these inspiring videos of your path. I needed to see this today. 💗

    Mr Khal is so different now that he is older and more experienced. I love seeing the transformations!

  • @LE123LE123
    @LE123LE123 Před 5 lety +10

    OMG! I love this!! I love that when you are riding him at the beginning, the group of horses are at the gate watching :D
    In regards to BTV, I find many babies just play with the bit to start---and you can see his evolution of learning! What a clever, clever horse!!! When you came off, you could see poor Cal was just like 'OMG! Human!" after the jump and he just darted sideways.
    I wouldn't say he is afraid of poles--he's quite bold--I think he is just learning/was learning and not sure. I absolutely LOVE how balanced he is!!! Even got his leads!!

  • @karenthornton7014
    @karenthornton7014 Před 5 lety

    This has been so helpful to me I have brought on my now 5 year old since he was backed at 3. He has grown from 15.3hh to 16.2hh, we have just started going over some small jumps so it was great to see how you dealt with the issues I have encountered. Thank you for your time making and posting this x

    • @nala3055
      @nala3055 Před 5 lety +5

      Try to keep your feet right under you, in line with your hips, and keep your weight down, otherwise if your legs are in front your feet will swing forward every time you rise to the trot

    • @lorrainekissane5641
      @lorrainekissane5641 Před 5 lety +2

      Stirrupless work. My instructor makes me do 10minutes every lesson (I have a lesson every day), and it’s helped me in the long run with my seat and my lower leg, because she makes me rise my trot without stirrups, which strengthens my lower legs.

    @LE123LE123 Před 5 lety

    OMG! Baby Khal photos! I am going to figure his breeding is Irish Sport Horse?
    Funny, how you say about his baby moments, but I've seen seasoned horses have those days in the show ring too--some days, we just have to accept it's not going well and return to some schooling and what a difference it makes! He is such a quick learner!!
    Thanks for sharing---may I ask, does your father breed for a living or is this something he has done more as a hobby? He seems to really love horses and it's wonderful to see!! Does your Mom ride too?
