Not Too Late Eventing
Добавлен 18 апр 2024
Hello! I’m Aby, a former dressage judge and coach who stepped away for a decade to focus on family. Now, at 47, I’m back in the saddle, exploring new paths. 🏇
Dressage used to be my world, but these days, it’s all about eventing. While I’ve loved watching from the sidelines, it’s time for me to try to 'go eventing'. Join me as I navigate the ups and downs of eventing, learning as I go.
This is for all the mums out there thinking about their next chapter: you're not alone. It's not too late to chase your dreams #EventingAdventure #LifeReinspired"

Welcome to My Eventing Journey: The story so far from Dressage to ditches.
Просмотров 3434 месяца назад
Welcome to 'Not Too Late Eventing'! 🐎 I'm excited to share my journey from the precision of dressage to the heart-pounding world of eventing. After over 25 years away from jumping, I've decided it's never too late to return to what I love-and I'm not alone. This channel is dedicated to all the mums out there who've put their dreams on hold. Whether you're an equestrian enthusiast or a beginner,...
If this was his first course of jumps, then why not start low and build his confidence instead of over facing him? Why don't you ride him instead of someone else producing him?
@@Mollyproblemhorses the height isn’t an issue for him and ideally we would have done an arena hire but there was no availability and tbh the show environment is what he needs exposure too. I’ve only just started jumping again after a 20 year break so Amy jumps them both and takes them out and about as she is best placed to give them a good experience. He thought he was amazing and is not the least bit daunted.
Thanks so much for including the video. It’s a learning experience for all of us!
We did think about it, but it was only ever some exposure and a schooling exercise and I want to show they good and not so good 😊
Aww bless him, he got so confused! Hopefully he'll know what to do next time out xx
He was such a star. We knew it was an ask but he wasn’t bothered/stressed about it, he was just confused - but he was such a good boy ❤
Apollo is such a great horse 🐴🐎
@@kippen64 thank you, we think so ♥️
Hooray! Thank you so much for taking us along. 🥕🥕🥕for Apollo :)
Thanks so much for watching ❤
The wee happy frumpies after the jumps 😂😂💕 Good to know my girl isn’t the only one who likes everyone to know how good she did!! 😂
@@Track2HackStandardbreds 😂 yes he was very pleased with himself 😍
Having Amy is such a great help.
@@kippen64 I’m so grateful to have found her. So important to me that the boys have good experiences while I’m getting back into a whole different discipline
What a champ! 🎉
He was so cool wasn’t he ❤
Didn’t he do well?
Very! 😍 (2'6" is around 75cm - I always have to check what a cm height is in old money so I've an idea how high the jumps are in peoples vlogs! 😂😂)
@@Siobhan_Shivaun I'm the same - I always have to work it out, to me 2 ft 6 seems ok and not too big but 80 cm is a stretch 😂 I prefer old money 😀
@@NotTooLateEventingme too! I have jumped 3ft, maybe 3'6", which doesn't sound that high, but people say 80cm I have palpitations!!! 😂😂
@@Siobhan_Shivaun So glad it's not just me 😂
Bravo!!! I haven’t ridden or jumped in 35 years and am thrilled to watch your adventure. How did “adulting” come to mean skipping out on all the fun stuff?
@@pyzikscott ah thanks so much I’m glad you enjoyed watching.
I hope that you feel 100% well soon. Being tired is not fun.
Ah thanks so much. I’m being referred for some investigations so hopefully we’ll have a way forward soon - thanks for watching
I've only just found your channel and realised I've seen your lovely Spanish boy before as my son used to watch Ava's videos! You have two lovely boys, looking forward to watching your journey to eventing.
Ah thanks for watching. I have one of Ava’s to edit! #badmummy 😂
There’s something about this little brown horse that has absolutely captured my heart. He’s got a real innocence about him. Bless his little heart .hugs and kisses from New Zealand❤
Such a lovely comment, thank you. He is such an amazing person x
He is super 🎉
@@Chanceequine he’s a babe isn’t he 😍
Geez he’s gonna have a fantastic wee ping once he gets some more confidence! He reminds me a lot of one of my old horses, if he was faced with anything new he’d immediately decide he wasn’t going to do it because he couldn’t/it was “too scary”, but once he’d had a look and a think about it and reapproached he was fine to go. Think he probably didn’t want to clonk his feet on the jumps too! My current boy used to dribble his way over every single fence and just about take us out by tripping over it, now he over jumps everything cos he doesn’t want to touch it 😂 Lovely sympathetic rider too, she knew exactly when to let him think and when to insist on going 🙌
I think he's mega, but I'm biased. When he's showjumping he's got such a great technique and he's only been jumping a couple of months. Thanks so much for watching. My other horse is the opposite - more of a minimalistic kind of guy. Whereas Sabio is an Overachiever!
🎉 Well done both of you ~ keep it up. ❤ Appollo's lovely! 😊 xOx
Thank you! Will do!
He's so gorgeous 🥰 Amy did a great job of riding him.
Thank you so much, we think so and he's such a special horse - such a character
The best boy 🤩🥰❤️
He is!
What a good job you both did 👍!
Thank you so much
Sabio did a great job overcoming his fear, he also had dog barking and Ava running around and he didn’t loose focus from that.
@@michellen1125 he was such a good boy. It was all just new to him. Luckily he’s used to dogs and kids but I’m so pleased with how he came on throughout the session. Amy did a wonderful job
@@NotTooLateEventing You should be so proud of him! I am so impressed that he kept his focus and would try the jumps. He is a gorgeous horse and I look forward to watching you progress together. Amy did a great job and handles everything so calmly, after the first rearing I would be “okay that’s good for today”. I would love to ride like Amy!
@@michellen1125 yep me too! 😂 so grateful to have Amy to help me
I think with someone giving you confidence on the ground you will be away. He’s great when he’s got a job on! Lovely introduction to grass for him, well done both of you !
@@nikkicheyne4457 ah thanks for such a lovely comment. I think you’re right
Well done looking good!!
@@nikkicheyne4457 thank you so much ☺️
Loved you video Be better if their was no music Hard to concentrate on what you are saying
@@YvonnePitt oh sorry about that!
Nothing wrong with starting slow and steady - we don’t all start jumping at badminton heights 😜 What a fantastic journey you’ve got ahead of you, it’s a helluva lot of fun! I got my first horse off the track 3 years ago after begging my mum for one since I could talk, and now my mum also got her own horse last year since having us kids 20+ years ago. She’s also started her eventing journey (at 57!) and is competing at her first event in August - our adult pony club is hosting a First Start competition and she’s entered the 45cm! It’s been 3 years and I’m still pottering around the same height, it doesn’t matter how big the jumps are as long as you’re confident and having fun! Can I offer some advice? It’s much easier to jump out of trot if you have more impulsion coming to the fence, and it’s much harder to get left behind if you sit the last two-three strides before jumping! I hate trot-jumping too but we do it for a good reason unfortunately 😂 Much love from New Zealand! Can’t wait to see more 😘
@@Track2HackStandardbreds wow starting at 57 is so cool! I was actually thinking the same thing recently- I’m trying to ride until take off which is why I hate it. Makes so much sense- thank you. Give me a line of tempo changes and I’m good but this?! 😂
Thank you for sharing your journey. So glad to have found your channel. For my 45th birthday I decided to start riding lessons, fast forward 10 months and I’m loving it. I don’t have my own horse but am very lucky to have access to a beautiful Welsh thoroughbred “school master” who is teaching me well! So much fun 😊xx
@@ceri_noyce that’s so awesome good luck and thanks so much for watching xx
Well done for taking the plunge into jumping. I’m a very nervous jumper and don’t jump anything bigger than a small cross pole. This is just an observation but I think you are riding a bit too short in your stirrups as you are sitting very far back on your saddle. Like I said it’s just an observation.
@@carolineward6445 thanks so much
Such a nice first outing for the both of you.
@@kippen64 thank you. 🙏
I think you did well! It is more important to give youngsters good experiences and teach them to be calm than to do a lot.
Ah thanks so much. That's kind of you to say
@@NotTooLateEventing Iknow how it is. I have a youngster too, techically. She's 6 but still very green and everything is like pulling teeth with her, unlike other youngsters I've had. So for me it is patience with her and her needing time and confidence, here you need confidence and for that to happen you'll need time, so uting that time to give good experiences... best thing you can do.
@@JustHorseyMie you are so right. Good luck with her.
Aw he's such a dude! 💖
He's amazing, always wants to do the right thing. I'm so excited about the future with him - thanks for watching
@@NotTooLateEventing he looks like he'll be a good'un!
No one gonna talk about the unmatched tack 😂
Really? I couldn’t care less about ‘unmatched tack’ he’s changing shape so much that everything is just for now
@@NotTooLateEventing ok I’m sorry I wasn’t trying to be mean
The way he's looking after you though, he's going to help you along and with respect. Well done you! ❤
Thanks! He’s a babe for sure
I’m going to enjoy this. I am 70 and just got a horse after being away from horses for over 40 years. I’m on the same path as you for getting back to it.
@@michellen1125 amazing! So excited for you. Thanks for watching
He's such a sweet baby. Another advantage of jumping from the trot is that it's easier for a horse to be evasive from the canter. I'm really enjoying your eventing journey as I am also a slightly older woman who hasn't jumped a horse for many years. Cheering you on from Australia 🌏🦘🐨🪃.
Thanks so much for your support 🙏
Well done!!
Thanks so much for watching and commenting- it’s much appreciated
@@NotTooLateEventing I'm hoping to be able to get back riding, and jumping, at some point, delighted to see someone else succeed!
@@Siobhan_Shivaun ah good luck with everything
@@NotTooLateEventing thanks!
Super start 🎉 well done
Thanks so much. I appreciate your support so much x
Good for you! Wish I could get back to it. (MUltiple complications...I'm 79, there's no instructors anywhere nearby, and the only horse I have doesn't jump. I'm pretty much grounded now. UGH>
Ah I’m sorry things aren’t aligned for you 🤗
So happy to find your channel! I'm 50 and haven't ridden in 20 years, but am hoping to start up again this year - mostly dressage, maybe a tiny bit of eventing if I get lucky. 🙂
Ah that’s wonderful! Good luck 😀
😂😂😂👏
Fingers crossed for me x
Glad I found your chanel love your videos so far, apollo is gorgeous by the way. I'm 12 years older than you, and the body doesn't always work but I'm still chasing my dreams, so no excuses all you mums in your 40's x
Thanks so much for the support ❤
Best way to do it!! Well done! First step over...can't wait to see your progress :)
Thanks so much for watching, I really appreciate the support :)
Love it! 👏🏻👏🏻 Doesn't matter how small it was, it's progress! Some clinics and training sounds like a good plan to start with. Maybe you could aim for some low pressure single discipline competitions by the end of the year instead? Like clear round showjumping or even some combined training if things are going super well. Looking forward to following along 🙂
Thanks so much for watching I really appreciate it - great idea 🙏
You’re an inspiration! I turned 40 last year and promised myself I would put my brave pants on and get back into riding but I keep making excuses. You are motivating me. Excited to follow your journey ❤
Ah thanks so much! Just do it, I know you won't regret it x
So excited for you. I haven't jumped a course in over thirty years. Haven't popped over anything for more than fifteen years. My Thoroughbred launched himself over a raised pole. I slipped the reins and all went well. So looking forward to watching your eventing journey.
Phew! Glad it went well. Thanks so much!
Well done 🎉
Thanks so much :)
On a similar path, excited to see how you get on. We'll done for being so brave 🎉
Thanks, excited to see what you get up to aswell
Sabio is also a good one to take ❤
He will be happy 😃
I think that Sabio would be a winner, but Apollo is so kind and willing. Good luck in all ventures!!
Thank so much for watching x
Apollo is such a cutie.
He’s very sweet
Just come from watching you All Star audition video on H&C! Looking forward to watching your journey, I'm in a similar kind of phase...heading towards 40 and heading to eventing for the first time 🤞
Thanks so much for coming over. Ah I can’t wait to follow your journey
I think maybe Apollo seems like a he would learn loads but Sabio seems like a cheeky chappy and fun!! No wonder you’ve asked your audience. Either way you deserve to go!!
Thanks so much ❤ They would both love it
