- In this video you'll see the reality of trail riding with kids, the giggles, the thrills, the spills, and good fun for all involved. This is our first trail ride as a family. Our kids are riding our miniature horses, Rosie and Daisy, who have never been ridden on the trail.
If you enjoyed this video and would like to learn more about horses and real life in the barn, I invite you to join me on my journey with horsemanship. You can start by hitting the subscribe button and turning on notifications so you never miss a video. Thanks for watching!

THIS HAS GOT TO BE THE CUTEST THING THAT IVE EVER SEEN; YOUR TWO KIDS BOBBING UP AND DOWN ON THOSE PONIES WHEN THEY TROT. HOW ADORABLE!
Tracey Jane Merrikin that’s called posting or sit stand
@@bigshannon6065 yes in England it's called rising trot, but it's sooo cute to see them on their tiny ponies
I love that you show the REALITY of owning horses were most people show all the good moments and how good there horse is and how expensive there tack is and all that and you just keep it real, I appreciate that so much :) Keep doing what your doing and I will keep watching! Also your kids are SO CUTE (equine and human ;) )
Sienna Silverbell thank you, I really appreciate that. I definitely like to keep it real 😂
That's what I thought as well. It is so real, no phony crap. Honest and magical.
I forsee you laughing so hard it is YOU that falls off...lol❤
Monica Peterson I’m really surprised I didn’t 😂
I smiled all thru this video, except when my heart jumped when the bird spooked the ponies. Beautiful country, and your kids did great! Thanks for sharing your first family trail ride!
CMarie57 thank you! My heart skipped a few beats too 😂
It’s great that the kids get to go trail riding, those ponies are just the right size them.
Watching the video sure brings back memories of taking my horse out trail riding, that was probably the best time of my life.
Dorothy Merrell some of my best childhood memories were on the trail 😊
Your whole family is hilarious 😂 and just add horses to the mix and we have a show😂😂😂
steve huey thanks! I’m glad you enjoy!
What a lovely video all of you riding together and looked such fun 😊.
Debbie Smith thanks, we had a great time!
OMG this was the absolute cutest thing I've ever seen, well besides Manzer...lol!! I would love to see more vlogs like this, I smiled & laughed the whole time, lol.
Ashley Motto thank you, I’m glad you enjoyed it
oh I dream of doing this with my husband and future kiddos. This video is SO cute.
Thank you
Oh my word...that was so brilliantly funny to watch. The tears were pouring down my face with laughing too much! Jason, cool and collected up front and you a giggling wreck at the rear! Such a lovely wee family. I know this'll sound weird but do you fancy adopting a forty-something woman from Scotland?! Lol 😂😂😂
Tracy Rain I’m glad you found it as funny as I did. My gosh I still laugh about it. It was hard for me to edit 😂
"Hey, look out for that birrr...." I'm glad they're alright. Such an incredible place to ride, beautiful country.
😂 Thank you
i love that my happy place is horses. whenever i can’t sleep (and it’s 6am) i always come to horse videos, and then i slowly fall asleep, it’s awesome :)
I got tickled at you being tickled at watching the kids! Fun and great memories! 💕🙏☮️
Treasure this. Experiences make our memories.
I treasure every moment
Your laughter response to "bad" stuff cracked me up! I do the same thing, not always appropriate. Ahhhahaha! 😏😂💞
Maura Swenson totally not appropriate in many cases but I can’t help it 😂
Perfect.
Inappropriate 🤣❤
Me too! I l've had to bite my cheek on more than one occasion 😂
The toad at the end made me laugh. I enjoyed this video it was very wholesome!
Thank you, I'm so glad you enjoyed it.
OMG your kids are just to adorable. i'm laughing all the way through.
Tina Caseley thank you, glad you enjoyed it
So glad you let the kids experience trail riding and all that comes along with it. When something minor happened like the crow hops, you don’t freak out, which would, in turn teach the kids to be afraid when anything like that happens. I love trail riding so much, it’s a great adventure every time I go.
When she said when anything bad happens I seem to laugh, I do 2.
An example of that is literal yesterday, my friend and I were riding out hobby horses and she jumped a big bush, she didn’t stride it right and she ended up falling and I tried 2 hold in a laugh but then she started laughing and I couldn’t stop myself. 😂
The little trot that the minis do to catch up is just the cutest thing ever.
I know 🤗
Don't feel bad about the laughing. When there is stress, you have to relieve that stress and sometimes it eases up in a variety of ways - laughing being one of them. When I got married, I guess I was nervous because I laughed during the ceremony. Just prior to the ceremony, the chapel people ask you about everything you want for your ceremony. Well, we were just there to get married and all of those questions was like having to make wedding plans all within five minutes before you go in the chapel to be married. When they asked us if we wanted music, hubby goes, "HUH?" Then he asked how much that cost and then quickly told them that we could live without music. For everything you want during the ceremony, it costs something more. Now who wouldn't laugh after an experience like that. Wedding, all plans made in five minutes before you actually get married. No, I would not exactly advise anyone to do it that way.
Laurieb2851 haha, definitely something to laugh about
After losing MS. Kitty on Wednesday and all the sadness I felt for you and your family, I was so happy to see this video in my recommended! I was so glad to hear your infectious laugh with your precious family! Yes, I realize this was six months ago, but it's still great!
Thank you! That is one of my absolute favorite videos!
This is so good for the horses minds as well as watching and giggling along with you about Bodie and Tovah!! And it teaches both of the kids so much on these light trail rides. To be more aware of their surroundings and their horses. Both of them have such natural seats, hands and legs!! A joy to watch!!! I'm enjoying this video so much Brandi!! Thank you so much for sharing this awesome and enjoyable video!! Best Regards from Ontario, Canada, your friend, I hope I may call you that Brandi, Jenn!!
Jennifer Lehman thank you for the kind words!
You guys did this trail perfectly! one adult in the front, kids in the middle, and one in the back!
Oh my! That was so much fun to watch! You're such a good Mama! You giggle all of the time! Too Cute! I'm a Great Grandmother, watching you and your adventures brings me a lot of joy! Thank you for that!
Thank you, I'm glad you enjoy it
Brandi “that’s my horse she toots the hole time” I’ve bean stuck behind that horse for a three hour trail ride 😅😭🤣🤣😂😭
Love all your video's and loved this 1 but surprised to see you riding with no riding hat, your safety is important too x
Bev King thank you. sometimes I like to live on the wild side 🤷♀️
Versatile Horsemanship haha!
It's a choice.
what would Buck say?
@@victaylor7777 That’s a great question and next time I see him, I’m going to ask.
This video is soooooo cute!!! Going to have to watch it again many times!!!!
equitime77 thank you! I’m so glad you enjoyed it
The little mini trot is absolutely the cutest thing ever. 😀
Diane Reiser isn’t it? 😂
Well that was probably the best trail ride I ever watched!! Your two little ones cracked up, especially Body! He was wanting to speed it up! Sweet little Rosie, to think she nearly died and you had to haul her in your SUV to get her to the animal hospital for treatment. I love little Rosie!❤🐎 Anxious to hear about your Appaloosa and hope she going to be okay! Do some more rides with the family, that was fun to watch! Give Manzer and Nika some love for me❤😊
Terri TN thank you! Rosie is worth her weight in gold! I was so worried about her last winter, so glad it all worked out.
@@VersatileHorsemanship Me too. She was a sick little girl😊.
Ok this is my second viewing of this video, and I just wanted to say, AGAIN probably! How much I enjoyed it! You're quite funny, and your family is awesome! Thank you for taking us along!
thank you, I'm glad you enjoy it!
That was so fun to watch. You are a lucky Mama and they are lucky kiddos. Made me smile and laugh!
Lori L Thank you!
I had a commercial with great timing. Right at the br.. err.. pause when the kids fell off when the "toucan" spooked the minis.
Andrea Cope haha! Perfect timing 😂
As a mom who works for a kids riding program, this is so relatable. I just subscribed!
Yay! Welcome to my RUclips family!
My gosh girlfriend you have more guts than I do! My kids are 7 and 11 and I'm still scared to take them on a trail ride with me! Mostly because I dont have the broke horses to do it, but my nerves couldn't handle it! LOL. All I can imagine is a horse galloping off with my kid hanging on for dear life! More power to you!! I respect the hell out of you!
Jessica Gray haha, thank you! It really does boil down to the horses. I wasn’t too concerned since the minis are only 30 some inches tall and we’d only be walking and trotting with my husband and I being on really solid horses. My kids are learning how to fall off without it being “scary”. Watching a kid fall off a big horse makes my heart sink, but the little horses are pretty comical in the right situation.
Versatile Horsemanship Funny story, the first and only time I took my son trail riding he was on a rock solid quarter horse mare, but my son had no experience at all. She started trotting and he couldn’t slow her down. They went around a turn and by the time I caught up, she was eating grass and my son was on the ground lol. He had slid off going around the corner. So ever since that I’m so paranoid letting them have control of a horse on their own lol.
Little ponies plus little kids equals funny , everytime
Oh my goodness, that was wonderful, such fun, I felt like I was on that trail riding right along with you guys.. I haven’t ridden western in a long time, switched to English but In many ways miss It. Loved the sound of leather squeaking on a western saddle. I jumped when Bodie’s pony spooked, your kids are game and so adorable, your husband ain’t bad either, lol. Thanks Brandi,, that was thoroughly enjoyable!
Gael Crane thank you, I’m so glad you enjoyed it 🤠
Cherish every second with those guys, the trail riding days with my kids are over, with careers and raising their own children it doesn’t seem they have a lot of time for pop anymore.
Time flies by so fast. I'm trying to enjoy every little moment.
OMGOSH that was so stinking cute, I just can't even. Thanks for sharing! Body is a show-stealer for sure!
Angela Hames thanks, he certainly is 😂
Love the spottedpony!
janet hedberg she’s a little stinker but she sure is cute!
Your son had me laughing just like you were. Your kids are so sweet and cute. I enjoyed that video so much. I have been on this journey since Manzer was born and have loved every minute of it. The adventures with your family are the best. Can't wait for the next episode lol.
Carol Shortley thank you! I’m glad you enjoy the journey!
I love this. My daughter fell off and had a mild break in her arm and people freaked out. But kiddos break their arm in sports all the time. If you are not prepared to fall off don't get on in the first place.
It happens
That is the cutest video! I smile all the way until the end. Ponies and kids too cute!
Vilma Arce glad you enjoyed it 😊
I have been a horse rider for about 15 years now and I have never seen anything so darn cute and funny😆
Aw, thank you
This was the best👍💜 so sweet, kids did a great job. Loved this vlog. Thanks for sharing your Labor Day Adventure. Great job!👍😁💜
Cricket Bee78 thank you! I’m glad you enjoyed it.
6:46 i know i shouldn’t be laughing but that scream😂🤣🤣😂🤣
I went on my first horse trail when I was 5. So much went wrong my horse slipped and almost fell and then it started to canter when we were supposed to trot. 5 year old me didn't fall off once I'm so proud of myself
yay!
I viewed it again as I love that video ! Your kids manage so well on their minis. The bird episode was frightening but they handled the situation. You have beautiful wild trails 👍
This is one of the most touching and adorable videos I ever watched on all of RUclips. For those of us who have grown kids, we can watch this and return for a few minutes to priceless moments of laughter and togetherness. It was so sweet I just can't even find the words. And yup, your hubs is badass. lol!!
Aw thank you! Yup, he sure is, haha
So, cool thank you for all your vids, can't have a horse, so love watching and learning about your 🐎 family and your kids too so adorable ❤️I keep editing, that trail, beautiful 😍 you guys had a good time!
Pamela Bruno thanks for watching, I’m so glad you enjoy them!
Beautiful scenery, we don’t have that here in the desert....love your videos....🤠
Stephanie Gardner thanks! I love our trails, the smell is the best
That’s it. I’ve found the most wholesome place on the internet. This is the sweetest comment section and the cutest video I sWEAR-
Honestly, I hope everyone is having fantastic day! ヾ(^∇^)

My Evening glad you enjoyed it!

Absolutely!!
Best family can’t imagine haveing a family like this ❤️❤️
That’s incredibly kind of you ❤️
Oh my gosh! Love this- you guys are cracking me up! :))) How fun!

Great video. Kids are so cute and the ponies are beautiful
CAROL HIRD thank you!

Missy S thank you!
New subscriber! I loved the video you guys! Your horses and family are so cute! 🐴😂👏
Love it. Used to take three kids and one mustang on trail ride
Very cool!
Brandy, this was so lovely.! The gorgeous country side and views and colors were just AMAZING 🤩 LOVED your commentary, so pleasant and informative (and your laughing 😂) So glad you’re back.! We missed you 🤗
Thank you so much!!
Love this video 😊 feel like I'm trail riding with you all almost
Kids on ponies is lovely to see how easy they have fun because they are so fearless and don’t have the hang ups that adults do you can’t do nothing but laugh and smile
Donna Jeffery it’s the best 😊
One very, very, important safety message to get out when children are riding on trail rides with small horse or ponies n that is to not get close to the big horse that they are following. I ride a lot of trail rides n it’s so dangerous for a child on a pony to get close behind a big horse. It’s not necessary dangerous if the horse n pony know each other, but when u have strange horses n riders riding with u, children won’t think n ride up behind a big horse n the big horse will kick out with both feet at the pony. With the pony being small the big horse will kick over the pony n hit the child on the pony in the face. I have seen it happen more than once.
Barbara Greene yes that is very scary and I wouldn’t recommend that young children ride with anyone but a very experienced adult. We keep our kids close to our horses, but I’ve spent countless hours getting these kids and horses comfortable and prepared for this situation. I would never allow my child to ride this close to another horse. My kids will exclusively ride with me until I feel they are ready to ride with others.
A back cinch or girth helps really well with the saddles going up same with bucking, it helps u not fall of better, because when the pony or horse bucks it pops you in the butt and gets u out of the saddle.
In this case, the only thing that was going to keep the saddles in place properly is a crupper and a well fitting breast collar. A rear cinch will help the back of the saddle from popping up, but not when the whole set up is sliding around. I bought one new saddle, had breast collars and cruppers custom made to fit these minis since I filmed this video. They fit about as good as a saddle is going to fit these rollie pollies. Thanks for watching!
Loved this first time round and just as good 2nd time round. I think it's you laughing that makes me laugh the most. Lovely family fun time.🌈
Beautiful day and scenic trail for a family outing! What a great way to spend time together.
Hahaha.... your best video yet!! I loved it! The kids are so cute on their ponies! Beautiful trails and fields! Thanks for sharing this one!

Thank you!
Dave Bowen thanks for watching, I’m glad you enjoyed it!
love the title. Of course somone falls off😂😂
I love horses, but they're terrifyingly huge up-close and in-person! One of the reasons i'd probably never own a horse.
They certainly take some getting used to. Thanks for watching!
I love the way you had a family fun day. I would love to ride again. Thanks for the great videos.
Shirley Wheeler thank you, I’m glad you enjoy my videos.
Yes!i understand now the saddle for daisy hasn’t got the D’rings or croupier ring!❤️
Too funny!! If I were a super confident rider with a super confident horse I think the same things that made you laugh on this trail ride would make me laugh 😂 🤣 all in good fun 🙌🦄
mj so fun ♥️
I love your horse riding videos
Love, love, loved all of that! Thanks for letting us go along. 😊
Liz Hrubik thanks for watching!
I was smiling and chuckling the entire video, hilarious🤣 adorable seeing all of you out on trials ...nice! . My dad used to yell at me for laughing at everything my kids did or fell ( not serious hurt) and such YOU got to laugh . I laughed thru my kids births ha ha . love to laugh .loved this ...it was grrreeeaaat!!!💕💕 😊😊💖💖
Animal tested Love approved my gosh I just can’t help it! I’m so glad I’m not alone 😂

Darlene McKay so...much...work! But totally worth every second 🤣
@@VersatileHorsemanship very worth it! Memories that will last a lifetime!
✨Goals✨
😂😂 those little leggies just kill me
Do pony need shoes?
Brenda Swanson all the horses on my property are barefoot. If we lived in an area with very rocky ground or had to be on asphalt regularly, then I would put shoes on them. But they do great in our area.
First trail ride as a family? So sweet! I’m the only person in my family who owns any horses so this is just adorable to watch C:
Your kids are fantastic at riding!!!
thank you!
What a great family adventure! Makin those memories, good for you guys!!
