Nothing is more humbling than riding a horse. 😅 There are so many highs and lows in riding. Riding different horses, especially tricky horses, produces a well rounded rider. Every lesson isn’t going to be the best day, but as long as you ride safe and learn from every lesson, then something positive came from it. Jumping is not easy. There’s so much going on there that people don’t see. You have come so far since your first vlogs and as a fellow rider, I know how we can be our own worst critics. Even the best riders have the worst days. Keep your heart in it Clara, I know you’ll go so much further. ❤ Also for what it’s worth, I saw a lot of good riding here too! Seeing distances is tough!
Yes that’s so true! That’s why I’m very grateful that I get to ride so many different horses, they each teach me something different! Thank you so much! ❤️ seeing distances and canter leads are my worst enemy right now 😂 but I’ll get better !!
Clara, you have improved a lot I have watch you grow from your first time cantering. Don’t you worry jumping is really hard and lots of people make mistakes when jumping. No one’s perfect when jumping. And we all have tough rides sometimes. don’t have those tough rides get too you.❤
Aww thank you so much! 🥹🫶🏻 I want every ride to be perfect which is so unrealistic! These rides are tough but they’re what makes us good riders! Thanks so much for the kind words ❤️
Don’t worry Clara, we all have rides like this. One tip is that you tend to 2-point as your going over the poles, like you go into 2-point as your going over the poles so you want to make sure that your in 2-point the whole time.
I recently just had to move barns (about 6 days ago) and your videos have helped me moved on. I moved across the world (from the Caribbean to England), thanks so much Clara!
Clara you’ve improved soooo much since when you started your channel!!!! Everyone has bad days but YOU STILL ATE THO. Anyway I’m so so so so so so proud of you ❤❤❤❤❤
You did amazing!! My off days are sooo much worse!! Everyone has off days! Showing will get easier I promise! I promise you that everyone gets frustrated when riding! Off days are hard to deal with but as you ride more you will learn how to handle them better, they never go away but they become less frequent! I promise you are doing amazing!!! Don’t let anyone and I mean anyone talk you down about riding! Also don’t you dare say “I can’t do this” or “I’m not good enough” etc because then you will be lying to yourself! You definitely can do it and you are more than good enough you are excellent!! Your videos have helped me a ton while I’ve been off riding to heal! It’s been almost 2 months since my fall that cause me to stop riding, your videos were one of the only things that helped me feel like I was behind a pair of ears! Last week at my PT session I got the clear to ride again and I’m soo excited to get back in the saddle!! I still have work to do for my back/core but I can start riding!! I hope I can find my perfect barn!! Keep up the amazing work! You going to go sooo far in your riding! The tough days only make us stronger!! You are doing amazing Clara! ♥️♥️
Thank you so much for your kind words! Your comments always make my day 🥰 OMG that makes so happy to hear!! I’ve been waiting for you to get back in the saddle! You have to let me know how your first ride back goes ❤️
Don't blame yourself for it all! You mentioned he'd been in lessons earlier that day, so he was also probably tired and a bit "over it". Horses get to a point where they won't help the rider and if you're not riding every little thing, they make it hard for you 😅. Super common school horse habit I'm sure youve noticed by now. Don't beat yourself up, from the footage it looked absolutely fine ❤!
We do it as practice for when we are going over jumps! We want to strengthen our two point before going over jumps so that our position is nice and strong when we do jump 😇
Less than perfect rides are part of the deal. Don't let anybody kid you, those are the rides that keep you coming back. I have noticed a couple of things, but I'm not sure how to say it without you thinking I'm criticizing. Not my intention at all. The camera angle is a little dizzying as far as telling his position. Or it's where you are looking, I'm not exactly sure. It would be nice to see one of your lessons from the ground. I do have a couple of questions, and a suggestion or two. Just know I'm not trying to step on anybody's toes here. I've noticed that his head is to the outside a good bit, or it could be where you're looking. The head goes to the outside, and it throws him off balance. He gets rougher and wants to drop out more often. Just the way I look at it, but if you take a straw and bend it, you notice where the contact points are. Three main ones. Inside leg, outside leg and outside rein. To move the whole thing, it takes inside leg and inside rein. Simply leg yielding. Always pushing, never pulling. When he cuts in on the corners, how far down the arena are you looking? You might be giving him permission to cut in without realizing it. He's taking more from your seat and legs than from the bit. If you're unclear about what you want, he'll make his best guess. Ride him into the corners, till you say turn. You look down the arena, your body turns that way. Seat and legs shift that little bit and he'll go that way. You say that you have trouble feeling his lead sometimes. Are you in two point then? He's reaching more with his lead leg. If you're sitting, your lead side hip will be forward, so it almost feels like you're moving diagonally in the saddle just that little bit. That also moves your inside leg a bit forward, so you feel it without trying to look. I've got a big mouth, I know. Long winded? Absolutely. Sometimes just hearing it a different way helps. That's all I'm trying to do. Till next time, enjoy the dance!
Yes you’re absolutely right ! He was looking alot to the outside in this lessons specifically and I was having a hard time getting that inside bend. Usually I find him easier to bend, maybe I was off or he was off or both of us! But we definitely struggled this lesson! Thanks so much for the tips! I never thought to try and feel the canter lead, my trainer says once we’re more advanced we’ll be able to feel it. Maybe I can try and feel it as well as look! Thanks again for the advice, I appreciate it 😇
@@RidewithClara I hope I don't come across as thinking I'm an expert. I was kind of hard to teach at times, and my instructor did a very good thing. He quit teaching me for a while and let me figure it out on my own. That's when some things occurred to me. I miss talking horses. Thanks for not taking it bad.
You’re doing great! I find it useful to look at the horse’s shoulders when checking leads, the same way as checking for your diagonals. Plus, it’s more discrete during shows!
Omg- I was completely wrong! It is Filo!! Clara, don’t worry, everyone has their bad days, such as me, I was crying because there was so much noise in the sports hall today- a teacher literally had to come down and take me away. But seriously- you did really well! Filo is such a big boy but he is very cute! ❤ I was riding the biggest horse at my barn and I think am riding him again in my next lesson and he is murder on my legs! He’s so darn lazy, Joey is definitely a very- stubborn horse. But to give him the benefit of the doubt he is a sweetheart. I’ll give Joey that much. I did have an off lesson in October when I had my first fall, but now I’ve just regained my confidence in time for summer!! ❤
Awww I’m sorry to hear that! ❤️ hope you’re feeling better now 😊 the big ones really do make your legs cry 😂 it doesn’t help if they’re lazy too! That’s like double kill ahaha that’s amazing I’m so glad!! I hope t out get to ride him again!
Good job!! 😍 I love watching these, especially before I go ride, your trainer gives some great information that I can apply to my own riding and it helps calm my nerves! I had an accident in June 2023 and it really affected my confidence… I went from jumping back down to just walking. But now I’m jumping 2’ I still get nervous though! But these videos are so helpful to calm me 💗 Good job again! Is summer solstice a show outside of your barn? Or is it similar to the fun spring show, where it’s just at your barn?
It’s okay Clara! You still did great! We all have tough days And jumping is pretty damn hard sometimes! Well done! Riding a more difficult horse isn’t the worst thing! If you can ride a more difficult horse, than easy horses are a walk in the park🎉 Great job today!❤❤❤
Hey!! I have a few tips. I’m not sure if you’d want them or not but I don’t think your trainer has mentioned these tricks before so I thought I’d mention in case you want to give it a try:) I don’t want to sound like a TikTok trainer or anything 😅 I just genuinely want to help, you’re such a good rider already. When you’re riding into your corners you often anti bend their nose out, which causes them to drift into the middle. That’s just because you use a lot of outside rein to turn them into the corners. which is fine and it gets the job done, but I think fixing that will really help you in the long run. It’s a pretty simple fix, all you have to do is kinda like a small leg yield, not as dramatic though. When you approach your corner use a lot of inside leg, open your outside rein like a door, and lift up your inside rein (just make sure you don’t cross your hand over the withers.) this will do a little mini leg yield and not only move them into the corners easier, but also bend them to the inside (which means if you are about to pick up canter you’re almost guaranteed to get the right lead.) Also, I do think a crop would help you a lot. I know you mentioned he was being lazy today, and that you don’t normally need to use one, but I still always prefer carrying a crop and just having to drop it later. It will make your ride easier considering you never really know the mood they’re in! (Plus it’ll save your legs from being as sore haha!) That’s all I have! I don’t want to sound rude or anything. you’re an amazing rider and these are just small simple changes you can make to help you have a better time! I think you ride filo beautifully. Hope this helps and I didn’t give any unwanted advice!! 😅
Hi Clara, I absolutely love your videos!! I recently started English in the past few months and watching you has completely inspired me in my own riding! I love watching you ride and even on tougher rides like this one, you still motivate me! I used to be a lot more nervous about jumping but watching you has definitely helped with that and now I can't wait! We all have our off days but you've got this and ride on!
On my last lesson, I was riding new horse for the first time. I had SO much trouble with cantering on her, but when I look back I know what I'll correct on next ride. People learn from their own mistakes, not someone else's. So now, after your not the best lesson you gain experience that every rider needs. So don't worry!
I know u think this was a really bad lesson but all the bad lesson teach u very important lessons, like in this lesson u had to work with him and keep him going forward ect!!! Just remember that most bad lesson will teach u more than most good leasons
I love, love, LOVE your vlogs! They're so interesting and I can see your progress. You're improving really fast, good job! Jumping can be really hard and scary sometimes! Don't worry, you sill nail it after some time, we believe in you 💖 I was wondering if I could ask where you buy your riding clothes from? Clothes are really expensive, like the sport itself, but what brands do you buy? Where do you think a beginner should start? Helmet or boots or breeches? Thank you in advance, sending lots of love and hugs! Keep going, beautiful 💕
Aww thank you so much!! 🥹🫶🏻 I get most of my riding clothes from greenhawk equestrian! Their brand Elation is quite affordable! Most of my breeches are Elation 😊 I got a lot of my tops from the Temteq brand from greenhawk as well and also from Amazon!
The best thing to do is to look back at it and say right that’s what I did well, and that’s what I need to work on. Don’t stress about it because we all have these off days and I can easily tell he’s not the easiest to handle. You had good parts of this lesson and did amazing! ❤ the best riders have off days and even though there fustrating to have they teach us a lot. I had an off day recently too but it’s okay!! (And yesterday my stirrup fell of twice at pony club 🫣 loved this vlog and can’t wait for the next one Clara ❤
Yes exactly ❤️ I learned alot from this lesson and next time I ride Filo it will be so much better! Omg that’s okay! I’m sure you still did great 😇 thanks so much! 🫶🏻
I feel ya! Sometimes I too have frustrating lessons 😅 but they tend to learn me a lot ;) Maybe this will help you with keeping him in the corners, it did help me: when going left, focus on giving him left leg, but also putting the right reign against his neck (not across), and not pulling on the left one
It was not that bad but I know you can do better next time I believe in your ability and your an amazing rider and person and I love all of your videos
Will watch later tonight so busy can't wait to see u on filo I bet u think you've done horrible but all those bad lessons teach u to be prepared for next time❤
Don't worry, it's quite normal to have bad rides!! I remember back in October one Saturday I had a really bad ride on my pony (I just was off balance and nothing was "gelling", didn't fall off though)but then the next day I went and tried out a potential lease pony who was sooo bouncy it was crazy. And funny enough my eq felt way better even though it did not look very flash (practical over pretty) And since the end of march I've been on a break from riding bc of a planned surgery, so i can finally start riding on the weekend/next week so I'm so exciteddd. My core is not gonna be happy w me loll and my riding will proooobably not be pretty either You'll get past this lesson, don't worry!❤
I hope the surgery goes well and you make a speedy recovery and can get back to riding soon!’ ❤️ it’ll definitely take some time after for your riding to feel good again but it’ll be worth it! Thanks so much 🥰
Npp!! The surgery was at the end of March, so Friday was the end of the 3 month no contact sport period! So now I can start riding again!... only if the weather lets me 😂 But thank you ❤ and I can certainly agree there ❤
Just remember that this happens to everyone!! I’ve been riding for 10 years and I still have lessons where I just can’t get over jumps. You’ve got it ❤❤❤❤
sometimes horses have lazy days and dont want to work the way you hope they would, its all part of the process, encouraging horses to work on these lazy days is so draining but overall just makes you stronger physically, not every ride is going to be amazing but not every ride is going to be terrible, we all have bad days sometimes❤
Omg I’ve stared jumping and I luvv it and it’s all thanks to you every time I watch you I get lots of tips and I’ve gotten way better and now I’m jumping!!❤❤😂😂
Love these videos Clara, please do continue them! My inner instructor comes out 😂 🧠 = leg now, get into the corner, look up , so interesting to whatch tho and you ride fino great even on an off day ❤
Clara everyone has their bad rides ! i will say right now in my riding, i can barely canter and keep my heels down and just 2 months ago i was jumping 2ft. trust me, i’ve been there and you will do better !
OMG FIRST I LOVE YOUR VIDS SO MUCH AAHHHH IM SO EXITED TO WATCH

Will watch later tonight so busy can't wait to see u on filo I bet u think you've done horrible but all those bad lessons teach u to be prepared for next time❤
Thank you so much! It definitely wasn’t my prettiest ride but overall learned alot from it and the next time I ride him I will be so much better ! 🥰🫶🏻
Don't worry, it's quite normal to have bad rides!!
I remember back in October one Saturday I had a really bad ride on my pony (I just was off balance and nothing was "gelling", didn't fall off though)but then the next day I went and tried out a potential lease pony who was sooo bouncy it was crazy. And funny enough my eq felt way better even though it did not look very flash (practical over pretty)
And since the end of march I've been on a break from riding bc of a planned surgery, so i can finally start riding on the weekend/next week so I'm so exciteddd. My core is not gonna be happy w me loll and my riding will proooobably not be pretty either
You'll get past this lesson, don't worry!❤
I hope the surgery goes well and you make a speedy recovery and can get back to riding soon!’ ❤️ it’ll definitely take some time after for your riding to feel good again but it’ll be worth it! Thanks so much 🥰
Npp!!
The surgery was at the end of March, so Friday was the end of the 3 month no contact sport period! So now I can start riding again!... only if the weather lets me 😂
But thank you ❤ and I can certainly agree there ❤
Hi Clara sorry I'm late I'm at pony camp all day every day for two weeks 😅
Omg no worries at all!!! That’s so exciting, I wish I could be at pony camp all day 🥺
Just remember that this happens to everyone!! I’ve been riding for 10 years and I still have lessons where I just can’t get over jumps. You’ve got it ❤❤❤❤
So excited to watch!! And dw everyone has bad days, especially when jumping
This was a rough one for sure 😅 but I hope you enjoyed the vlog nonetheless ! 🥰
sometimes horses have lazy days and dont want to work the way you hope they would, its all part of the process, encouraging horses to work on these lazy days is so draining but overall just makes you stronger physically, not every ride is going to be amazing but not every ride is going to be terrible, we all have bad days sometimes❤
Omg I’ve stared jumping and I luvv it and it’s all thanks to you every time I watch you I get lots of tips and I’ve gotten way better and now I’m jumping!!❤❤😂😂
Omg yaaayyy that makes me sooo happy ! Keep up the great work 🥰🫶🏻
You have learned so much, don’t push yourself, you have done great 🥹
