Pigeon's Individual Round - • Swalcliffe Eventer Cha...
Maddy and Boaty's run around the BRC Area 18 novice (90cm/2'9") pairs eventer challenge at Grange Farm, Swalcliffe. Some poles went flying but we still managed fifth place. This horse has brilliant (and huge) ears. That's Pigeon and me in front! :)
This person in like clicking the whole time!😂
This person was like clicking the whole time!😂
Just watched all 3 rounds- great rounds and both such lovely horses, well done all 4 of you! :) x
Thanks Georgie. They are good horses even if Boaty makes poor Maddy work around the course. Really looking forward to hearing how you and Woody get on with your first BEU18's - I think you'll be grand ;-)
A Horse Called Pigeon
Thanks Alex- I'm relying on Woody to carry me round as I will probably be terrified :'-) x
I am new to your channel and love it! I like my little daily dose of 'a horse called pigeon' and think that you're both fantastic. Both very brave and, as a coward, I love jumping vicariously through you both! And anyone who thinks that the horse does all the work only has to hear the exertion in your breathing! I am usually puffing after any little trot or canter so am full of admiration :-)
Those ears though!! So big and floppy, they are adorable ! x
Caitlin Wootton He's not bad for 18 years old and 17.2 hh! I just love those big floppy ears :)
Thanks so much I use the walk to the fence method with my pony Joe when he's not very confident or a bit spooky!!
Xx
I have a video request maybe do a day in the life of the chores and stuff at your yard xxx ps love you and piggy xxxx
Thank you! That's a great idea... I'll have a ponder :) xx
Great video ,well done you did amazing , flying around the xc :) xx
That looked so fun! Please do more vids like this xxx
Thank you! Hopefully we can do some more pairs classes this season :) xx
Hey this looks like heaps of fun!
It really was. First time I have done a pairs class... I think Pigeon enjoyed being in the lead! ;-)
U r so good
you are amazing! love all you videos!
Yay - thanks so much! More coming soon I hope :)
izzy thompson Thank you! She still seems to love her xc :)
Ciara Petal Firstly - sorry to be slow to reply! I'm no expert on this problem. Have you tried taking her with another horse that will quietly walk past the tent etc? I guess you need to build this up slowly over time. Keep going back and try to get a little further each time and turn back before she bolts with you so it is your decision. Sometimes riding shoulder in past monsters can help to distract their attention or slowing right down so she can have a good look might help? I'm not sure really, but I would say avoid any massive battles as that might make things worse! Goof luck with it and thanks for watching :)
Do you have any tips on getting a horse used to new places? My pony is having trouble with new trails. there is a big flappy tent on one of the popular trails and she always tries to run towards home where she feels safe. Also there are xc jumps past there which is annoying because I love xc!
Ciara Petal don't jump her right away walk her around to get her used to where your going and try little jumps before big ones
You are so good
that looks fun, pairs😊
Luv your horse btw
This is really good. I'm new to this channel but will defo be watching more. Pigeon seems to jump so well. Just out of interest, how big is boaty? ❤️
fun!!!! well done!!!
Go pigeon
Hi your a very good rider first off but I have 2 questions I'm just starting cross country jumping on my two horses (I have been riding for soon to be 11 years) my horse stormy is a 19 year old Arabian she was trained in show jumping but I rode her for pleasure shows for 7 years now I sorta want to get back into jumping her she is refused almost all of her jumps (1ft2in small I know but I want to get her used to it) is there any way to not have her refuse any help would be nice
My next question is I have a 13 year old Arabian she was trained in gymkhana but I enjoy jumping more she is stopping after the jump same height as before would you reccomend I use spurs or a crop I don't plan on taking them to compitions or anything but I think its fun any advice thanks
Hi Rose - thanks for watching and sorry to be slow to reply! If the refusing is a sudden change it is definitely worth getting all the usual checks done - back, teeth, saddle - just in case there is any pain. Other than that I'm not sure! Have you tried following another horse? I'm sure some extra 'encouragement' from a crop or spur will help but I'd also make a big fuss of the horse when you do make progress. That way you will hopefully make it fun for them too. Good luck - let me know how you get on :)
OK thanks so much for the help and the reply I did try haveimg her follow a horse and it worked quite well I also have started using a crop and maybe spurs but I'm gonna see how the crop works the saddle seems just fine and her back is fine too but it is about time to get her teeth done so I'm going to get that done for all of my horses I also tried in hand jumping her and it really helped thanks so much for all of your help oh and pigeon has the cutest ears
Is the xc straight after the showjumping or do they give you some time inbetween? thanks
so when maddy rides boaty in the show ring or out cross country if she has a crop use it. it is not your emany it is your friend. she should use it more. but she did do a good job keeping up and staying with the horse.
Don’t cluck so much ! Use your legs

Did you ever have any setbacks in your jumping if you did can you tell me how you over come them xx
Yes indeed! The early days were difficult at times. Pigeon was quite tense when I first got her and a bit full of herself after about a year in the field doing very little. Every time I rode I had to walk her around for 5-10 minutes so I could get on without her moving about too much. Then there was the first coat clip... I had a lesson that night and every time we went into canter she bolted with me, until my instructor said I had to be a bit rude in return and let her know this was not acceptable... I then got bucked off and was scared to canter her for months after. Just when she would start to settle and I'd get more confident she would build fitness and be quite bonkers again! Jumping was interesting in those early days. It would be walk to the fence, jump and back to walk on a loose rein (nothing exciting happening here). I still use the walk to the fence technique at times when she is too keen! A lot was just about me getting to know Pigeon and getting more confident and competent (I had been out of the saddle for 15 years and probably over-horsed myself a bit with Pige). A major breakthrough moment was when I was out hacking and just decided to let her go (having checked that I had brakes first)... until then I had just been going on walk hacks, but something just clicked that day and I decided life was for living (I did have my body protector on though). A few months later I was going xc for the first time... I was terrified in the warm up at Aston le Walls but we flew round clear and I just wanted to go again! With confidence I think it's best to build up slowly so as not to set yourself back again. I hope that has helped? Let me know if there is anything in particular you are struggling with - I'm sure someone can offer advice! :) xx
Sounds tiring XD
We are not as fit as our horses! Boaty being huge makes Maddy work especially hard... and people say the horse does all the work ;-) xx
Pigeon looks orange 🍊
washkar pigeon is the one in the front not the one with the GoPro
I was going to do a pairs thing like that..... Until we moved and I had to sell my pony....
Gosh you were out of breath !
How come she is breathing so hard???
LOL - maintaining the gallop is harder work than people often realise (especially when you go straight from show jumping onto cross country without much of a breather between). At this early event in the season our horses were certainly fitter than us! I think Maddy was quite shocked when she heard herself and promptly headed off to the gym. Thanks for watching! :)
Lol, it is hard work, especially when u have a lazy horse like mine (Dusty)! I've subscribed to u so I'm just going through and watching some of your videos! :D
Evinting,Games&Breyers Dusty may be lazy but he is still a cutie ;-) Thanks so much for subbing :D x
Thx!! No problem I luv your channel!!!!
boaty and pigoen are aborbs
first off! don't need to cluck you're horse on so much! sounds stupid! only cluck on when the horse slows down! sorry, it's just really annoying listening to it all the time.
Horse lover that's not even alex riding! that's her friend in front
i know. i'm saying that to her friend
Turn off your volume?!
Back off she can do what she wants to do
