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?

Thanks so much for including the video. It’s a learning experience for all of us!

Aww bless him, he got so confused! Hopefully he'll know what to do next time out xx

Apollo is such a great horse 🐴🐎

Hooray! Thank you so much for taking us along. 🥕🥕🥕for Apollo :)

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!! 😂

Having Amy is such a great help.

What a champ! 🎉

Didn’t he do well?

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?

I hope that you feel 100% well soon. Being tired is not fun.

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.

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❤

He is super 🎉

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 🙌

🎉 Well done both of you ~ keep it up. ❤ Appollo's lovely! 😊 xOx

He's so gorgeous 🥰 Amy did a great job of riding him.

The best boy 🤩🥰❤️

What a good job you both did 👍!

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.

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 !

Well done looking good!!

Loved you video Be better if their was no music Hard to concentrate on what you are saying

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 😘

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

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.

Such a nice first outing for the both of 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.

Aw he's such a dude! 💖

No one gonna talk about the unmatched tack 😂

The way he's looking after you though, he's going to help you along and with respect. Well done you! ❤

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.

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 🌏🦘🐨🪃.

Well done!!

Super start 🎉 well done

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>

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. 🙂

😂😂😂👏

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

Best way to do it!! Well done! First step over...can't wait to see your progress :)

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 🙂

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 ❤

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.

Well done 🎉

On a similar path, excited to see how you get on. We'll done for being so brave 🎉

Sabio is also a good one to take ❤

I think that Sabio would be a winner, but Apollo is so kind and willing. Good luck in all ventures!!

Apollo is such a cutie.

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 🤞

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!!
