  • *Please read* So anyone who follows me on Instagram will know that this video really hasn't gone to plan. Basically I had really good intentions of this being an amazing, to the point the video and it just hasn't worked out like that. Life got in the way a bit and I just wasn't in the right headspace for filming and editing it as it takes so long and a lot of energy. After I exported it last night I realised how many things I have missed out so please forgive me for that. I toyed with the idea of not posting it at all but it's taken me a long time to get it to here so I thought I may as well. Let me know what you guys think, if it is really awful I can delete it and try again another time for you. Anyway, sorry about the rant, I hope it isn't as bad as I think it is!

    Some of these horses i'd never be selling, they look incredible! Juggling uni and horses is so difficult though! I was lucky to study at home and keep my horse and riding up at the same time! I have to say that now working full time is just as tricky with having horses and more so in winter time but it's part of me and I don't think my work ethic would be as high if I didn't have that down time!

    I really enjoyed that, it was nice to see how you got into horses. I would say to anyone out there dreaming the same of life buying cheap horses it’s worthwhile remembering the actual cost of the animal might be cheaper but all the care/maintenance/equipment/stabling/tuition/vet bills/ etc is the cost killer. I had three horses when dinosaurs roamed the earth and it was expensive even with my own horse property. Just keep it in mind. Bearing this though the bond you have with MUm in participating in your dream is priceless. The horsey life has to have been best investment your parents ever made.

And I’m the only one who rides horses ‘professionally’ in my school and when I tell people I’m allergic to them the don’t believe me haha but I put up with it because the only way helping my allergies is to get one needle a week for 6 months and the needles are massive!

    What a great video, must have been a lot of work to put this together... do more !!! I am allergic to animals and have asthma, tortured doctors and several hospital visits because I did too much, but would not have changed it for the world.. this made me sentimental and showed my daughter who is almost 13 and rides !!! What wonderful memories... It is hard to sell on horses you train, but I try to think of it as making their life better and appreciating the time and things I did with each. You are very blessed to have had all that opportunity and a mum that still is by your side and to be so young and having so much more in store !!! I think I remember a video about being in Badminton and falling off and this year you were hoping to get to go again... kinda funny how things work out and are out of our control... take heart things always work out for the best even if it doesn’t feel like it at the time... you’re an inspiration too many, keep on keeping it real... also the price of a horse is not the important thing... my best horse was only $500 thoroughbred of the track with a little bowed tendon, it gave us time on the ground which I think cemented our relationship and our ability to go as far as we did... luv from over the pond...
