The Ups and Downs of Recent Times
Like most of the months of this year, there have been some great highlights but also some big lows.
Very sadly I had to put another one of my horses down yesterday due to a neurological problem called wobblers. An absolutely devastating blow especially as he was only 6 and we had such high hopes for him.
Do you vet and x ray horses that you are looking to buy or do you think it’s a waste of money? It would be great to hear your thoughts on the comment section below.
Some better highlights though include my mare Kildalton Heiress being awarded Class 1 at the Irish Draught grading at Onley. As well as this, she was also awarded TWO bronze merits! A first to do so!

A sad few days and worrying few weeks
Просмотров 1,8 тыс.Год назад
It’s been quite a stressful time since my last video hence no more content. Sadly my lovely chestnut horse Harry had to be put down a few days ago due to recurrent lameness and he was sadly not going to stand up to hard work. He was sadly still lame out in the field so as hard as it was to do, it was the kindest thing for him. As well as that, Scully got severe laminitis just over three weeks a...

Vlog 11 || One Week With Lucifer || Sore Teeth || Sleeping Beauty
Просмотров 8814 года назад
DISCLAIMER Although i'm sponsored by TopSpec Horse Feeds, all opinions and views are my own. Week 1 with Lucifer has been brilliant! He has been bathed, learnt that picking his feet up isn't all that bad and doing lots of sleeping! He has begun lunging with a bit and roller but sadly he appears to have an access in his mouth due to his new teeth coming through so lunging has been put on hold un...
Vlog 10 || Trot Pole Exercise
Просмотров 3924 года назад
This is an exercise I use a lot with my working hunters. demonstrating the exercise is my top horse, Silver Lough. this exercise is brilliant for encouraging your horse to work around your inside leg and increasing impulsion behind. You can also raise the poles but as this was Scully's first pole work exercise, I just left them on the ground. Enjoy

Vlog 3 || Filthy Horse to Show Horse || Part 1 || How to Pull a Horse's Mane and Tail
so very sorry for your loss. i had to euthanize my dog 3 years ago and while i know it was the right thing for him in the big picture, i still struggle to get through the days without him. sending healing vibes to you. ❤
so so sorry, that's always such a hard decision but you made the right one. I had no idea horses got Wobblers, in my dog breed which is Dobermans it happens, it's a horrible disease and not much that can be done unfortunately. Some folks do what's called gold bead implants which helps, but dogs are so much smaller than horses.
So sorry to hear about your lovely young horse💔
Thank you for the plaiting demonstration, I have always used bands but your plaits look amazing!
So very sorry for your losses, I can understand your worry for your beautiful mare. Fingers crossed tightly she gives you a stunning foal to build your present and future dreams on meantime and you get the chance to produce some stunning youngsters anyway. Isn't a good mare something to behold though? She looks lovely. When I was a few years younger than you I bought a tremendous 17h mare, she was the love of of my life, a dream to ride and a dream to behold. Rode like a phoenix and danced like an angel. She could also jump stunningly well, unbelievable scope to her, it felt like she could defy gravity and she loved every second of it. The power behind, that moment in the air I would give anything to have back. For a big horse just so incredibly athletic and supple. I've just never had the same feel on any other horse, not one I could afford. She could be prickly it's true and at times you had to dance around her lol but once I was onboard she was magnificent, instantly going into another gear where she wanted to be with you for you every second. Never seeming tired or out of breath, eye always on the next job. A slight lameness upfront took me to the vet after having her for a year, she was just six. The vet said the foot would be fine after a few days rest but that she also had a massive hole in the heart. I think I cried for every day that I had ever sat on her and because I ever sat on her. Some horses just speak to you and you just cannot imagine anything could be wrong, those eyes, you just fall in love, no going back. She so entranced me that I didn't even get a vet to look her over ,took her straight home. Never even tried her. She escaped the yard when she was trotted up for me to look her over, it was almost dark already but what I saw in her free movement moved me so much I just had to have her. She came back to the yard on her own in pitch darkness, head high and snorting, stood by my side stretched to her full height almost swallowing me in her heaving breath. I couldn't go home without her, my heart lost in hers. My hand was already on her hard neck as she lowered her head into my waiting hand. I can't even tell you the rest of her story it's still too sore and raw twenty years later. Dont fall in love untill full vetting. You know I felt honoured to have known her for the short time I was with her, deeply so. It gave me so much to have even known such a horse. Yes my ambitions were struck down, yes I didn't want to look at another horse for years. I'm sure you feel some of the same at least. It's sad but it's a bitter sweetness too. They teach us so much, I believe I became a better man for all of it. They're definitely worth the sadness, the joy. Things will be Ok.
You have had so much horse trauma and loss so early in your life, but it will make you a greater horse man in the end and how much more sweet the future successes will be after such heartbreaks. ..The last gift of love we give them is to prevent and end their suffering by helping them pass… I am so so very sorry for your loss.
I'm sorry for your loss. Yes full vetting. Hopefully you have them insured. If not you need to do that.
Greetings.....from the Western North Carolina Mountains...USA . What an intelligent and compassionate young man you are. Much gratitude to you for this excellent talk about such devastating things that can happen to us horse owners. Sorry for your loss....as well as congratulations to your gorgeous mare...! Much luck and success to you..... in all walks of your life.....and please keep up your wonderful talks...! Sincerely, Cindy 🐴
So sorry for your problems 😢
So sorry for your loss at such a young age but you not just a chatty video your given people some good advice welcome back glad you back hope you still going to keep your videos going ❤x
Congrats with your beautiful mare, and sincere condolences for your loss. Why not use all the tools available William. Hope you enjoy your holiday, actually sounds like you might need the break (-: Marion from Australia
Welcome back - so sorry to hear about your beautiful horse - so sad for you. I’ve never had a pre purchase vetting, the last pony I bought was sight unseen 😮 - I’ve been lucky I guess but then I haven’t spent hundreds of thousands on buying them 😢you made the right decision ❤
That's torture 😢
It would be interesting to hear you talk through rider attire for each discipline!
Alf’s so handsome. William would you consider doing a video introducing all of your horses? Thanks (-: Marion 🎉
Greetings....from the Western North Carolina Mountains, USA...! I'm really liking watching all you young equestrians....having such a great time with your horses ! You have a wonderful voice for narration ....and I've enjoyed watching you prepare your horse for the show ring. Just found your channel last week....and I'll surely be watching more !! Much good luck to you in the Show Ring.......and your horses commend you for not cutting off their whiskers.....they need them...!! Sincerely, Cindy 🐴
Lol
shiny prince with shiny pony😢
Thank you for making the right decision for your horse. It’s never easy but always the right thing to do.
William it’s great listening to you as you share your horse life. ❤
William it’s great listening to you as you share your horse life. ❤
Wanting to be better can be very soul destroying - I’ve been there and I’m a lot older than you - enjoy it don’t put pressure on yourself
Loving your story - your horses are lovely- sorry about Harry watched your recent vlog on that very hard had to do that on occasion myself it’s sooo hard
Lovely video and I would much prefer to put my horse to sleep than have it passed around from pillar to post. Looking forward to seeing some more of your videos
Amazing work! Just discovered your channel and have subscribed. You have a lovely horse
Are those sheep actually yellow?!
Well done with your class
Oh tough times for you at the moment but at least you are putting their welfare first, good luck with the Royal Highland and keep positive 😊
Don’t horses hate you when their food is restricted? 😢😢
i watched your round and was in awe of your handsome pony. i had no idea that you had a youtube channel until this video just popped up! congratulations it was a very good round to watch.
Omg the way he walked out of the trailer was the cutest thing I’ve ever seen
I wish my horse do that
Hopefully Alf won't be your next injury. Sorry but I don't believe horses were meant to jump such high poles one after another. So many beautiful horses end up lame etc. Then have to be put down due to their injury just for your pleasure to win a ribbon. Sad you can't enjoy these beautiful animals for what they are. There are other things that you could do that wouldn't be so hard on there legs. You are so lucky to have the funds and facilities to have these amazing animals but you continue to jump such high jumps knowing you or your horse could get injured......sad.
They weren't meant to jump at all. There was a video I watched on YT about horses in pain. 95% or 90% are in pain or lame. Including dressage horses. It breaks my heart they will literally break down doing a job. And people don't care. Why can't we treat them better not do these things to them?
You may not know or ken at all its the astrology-it will be better next year-do watch carefully all this year Debra lovely horses
Hopefully everything is on the up now
Thankyou, that would be great.
Yes because your at the top uf your game.
Do you do the horses yourself or do you have help?
You do horsy, hair.
Question is it legal to ride on a public road without any tack
No, under the highway code rule 52 you have to have a saddle and bridle. Also insurance will probably be void if you don't. Rule 52 - Saddlery "Never ride a horse without both a saddle and bridle."
The unfortunate thing is the people who now right the highway code haven't a clue...
She’s gorgeous ❤️
Loved the video! Looking fab! 😍
Good luck he is lovely how lucky you are. Looking forward to see how he progresses with your tlc am sure he will do great .
