    What a Horse.. True Cross Country athlete, as he gets stronger abs and back, he will keep improving, dressage, makes great galloping and jumping horses, I've always said he is an exceptional horse, a massive course in terrible conditions.. BravO Donut, so brave and bold, he is a class horse in every respect he will take you far, he is a knight in shining armOur sent for you his evangelist 🐎💃⭐💜

    Am blown away by Donut's performance. You were both brilliant🥳. I think that dressage can always be worked on (fine-tuned), as can showjumping - but to have a horse who is brave & a 'thinker' - those skills can't be taught - Donut has those skills in spades. How he flew around the cross-country (& how well you rode him) - fantastic. Very well done, both of you🤗

    • @ELSEventing
      @ELSEventing  6 дней назад

      Yes he really does have the heart and brain for the XC which makes me so excited. Like you say, we can teach the other phases but having his attitude to XC is a massive leg up x

    He loves his work. Steps out of water often create issues. So glad he kept his footing.

    • @ELSEventing
      @ELSEventing  6 дней назад

      It’s hard to judge the ground line with water but he was super clever to stay on his feet x

  • @caitlin3925
    @caitlin3925 14 дней назад +2

    I love your approach! You really give him time to think instead of rushing him, just shows the confidence you have in his ability. I think donut also picks up on how you feel so he’s not worried about anything he’s just figuring it out.

    • @ELSEventing
      @ELSEventing  6 дней назад

      I really trust him and think it’s important to give him chance to learn so he has good foundations as we move up the levels ♥️

    Well done poundstretcher and the ginger god, this is the period where you are right to teach these events as training days and not think about being competitive, that will all slot into place in your time.. xx

    • @ELSEventing

      Agreed, hopefully producing him for the future 🤞🏻

    As a dressage rider, I agree, he looks so much better in the clips of your lesson you posted! You can see the quality of his movement really improve

    • @ELSEventing
      @ELSEventing  6 дней назад +1

      Yes he felt like a different horse! I’m excited for more lessons to help keep us on the right track x

  • @user-fg6kg1dn7w
    @user-fg6kg1dn7w 14 дней назад +2

    Wowser. What a wonderful event. Rubbish ground in dressage and showjumping wasn’t it.
    And I think you had a rather harsh dressage judge (in my opinion).
    But xcountry, he was so clever to get himself out of a couple of tight moments. Clever chap. He is just growing every time out isn’t he. Onwards. Great job.

  • @julen2380
    @julen2380 11 дней назад

    I love how you take your time with your horses! Giving Maggie time to heal and Donut to process this new level. He has such potential for the dressage, just needs more milage and a bit more training. Showjumping...I believe I saw the same venue with Justine Ward but in her video I did not quite realise how bad the ground truly was. The warm-up looked like a freshly plowed field, the arena not much better. You did fabulous. And the xc - he clearly has so much fun and loves the challenge of figuring stuff out and having your trust and confidence while he's doing it.

    • @ELSEventing
      @ELSEventing  6 дней назад +1

      Ah well I have learned taking our time is in fact the quickest and best way to get to where we want to be. So they can have all the time they need.
      Justine did the same event but was on the day before me so hopefully she got slightly better ground. I was really chuffed with how he managed on the going x

  • @bethany6148
    @bethany6148 9 дней назад

    You can really see the potential he has to be such an exciting horse 😍 bless him you could really see his brain working overtime in the dressage, there was a lot going on in that test! He's such a special boy, can't wait to see him this time next year if this is how he's going now! Xx

    • @ELSEventing
      @ELSEventing  6 дней назад

      It’s exciting to think about where we might be next year. Just taking it one step at a time currently x

  • @MsDgroff
    @MsDgroff 13 дней назад

    My thoughts for what it’s worth. XC - Wow!! Donut did fantastic on a tough track!! So many questions so quickly!! You did a fantastic job also!! Dressage - how can you be judged properly riding in such conditions? In the US we don’t test on grass. And I think Donut was not happy with how quickly things were changing. Like you said, he wasn’t lifting his tummy. SJ - ditto for conditions. And you both did a great job!! Overall it was a day of learning and you should be proud!!! 🩷🩷

    • @ELSEventing
      @ELSEventing  6 дней назад

      I think if the weather continues like this year we may see more venues with arenas… the only benefit is that we are all on the same ground give or take so have an equal challenge (as if eventing isn’t hard enough 😆)
      I’m so proud of him jumping around an upper level Novice track the way he did, hopefully the future is bright 🥰

    @fleetskipper1810 14 дней назад +1

    What a fun horse. I laughed when you said it was the first time you had jumped stirrup-less in quite some time! Isn’t that always the way? But you did it well.

    • @ELSEventing
      @ELSEventing  6 дней назад

      Haha I should do more without stirrups really but whenever I jump at home they’re much naughtier than at a show and everything gets quite bouncy 😆🙈

  • @Fjordingbanden
    @Fjordingbanden 12 дней назад

    For the dressage part (no hate!) I would start by trying to keep your hands more still. Just helps with better communication with the horse! But i dont know what you need to do to ride him or whatever, just a little tip!
