Hey Holly! This is long and I know you won’t read it but I’m hoping this can serve as a message to everyone else in the same situation.
Four years ago I was diagnosed with a brain tumor. Not cancer, just a tumor. While we thought it was great that it wasn’t cancer, it turned out to be awful. They couldn’t operate due to the location, so i was supposed to just live with it.
At the beginning I was sad but I thought I’d overcome it. That is, until I stopped walking. And stopped being able to even move my arms at certain times. I wasn’t capable of working anymore.
I was 12 when I started working at a local farm, cleaning the stalls and other stuff. I was saving money to pay for riding lessons because my family doesn’t have a lot of money. Everything was going great and in some months I was able to afford a quick lesson in a really sketchy farm. I loved it. I had known I was meant to work with horses before that but finally riding one was amazing.
I had eleven riding lessons. One which month because that’s what I could afford. And then, at 13, I got incredibly bad migraines and bam, brain tumor.
At 13 I stopped riding and I was devastated. I was devastated that a really small mass had this impact and completely changed my life. I couldn’t work at the farm anymore and I couldn’t ride. I couldn’t even leave my bed without a wheelchair after a few months.
I’m now 17. I’m doing better with medication and physical therapy and last week I finally rode again. I know i wont be doing that for a long time now so I just watch your videos. They really calm me down and one day I really hope I get to be like you!
Never change. Your energy, your horses, everything! They manage to make everything a lil better.
Xx
I know this isn't the same thing, but I stopped riding for a year because my mental health got really bad. When I rode again it felt like a breath of fresh air. I hope you continue to manage it and you can enjoy riding or at least being around horses ❤️
I’m so glad you got to ride again and I hope you’re doing better now :) ♥️ hopefully I’ll be able to ride again in some months so everything will be fine!!
I really hope you’re doing okay now though
This is such an amazing story. I'm just so sorry you have had such obstacles in your life. What I am proud of, is how you continue to set goals and are focused on what you will be doing in the future. I am a grandmother but have been dealing with a life threatening illness for the past 15 years. I, too, had to give up riding. And like you, enjoy Holly's videos so much. Stay strong and keep us posted on how you are doing😀❤💕💖 Thank you for sharing your story.
your amazing and I hope Holly see's your comment 💓
Izzy S thank you, angel! 💗
We know you're not bragging at all. You're always very grateful and thankful in your videos. I'm SO glad you finally made this video! 😁😁
❤️❤️
And now I want to see a house tour, just because you mentioned it!))
YES that would be great
Вероника Калинина why would you want that you can tell she doesn’t want to do that that’s her private life?
I knew the yard was big but I didn't know it was THAT big lol
That's super cool, Holly!
On an unrelated note: You should do a makeover compilation with all the horses xD
Thank you! ☺️
I absolutely adore how down to earth you are, seeing all these fancy rich riders everywhere always really intimidates me especially coming from a farm rather than a yard, but seeing how amazing a rider you are and also how chill and sweet and relatable you are is just so refreshing!!
Holly, you don't come over as though you are bragging I know you were worried about this in this vlog, you can only show people what facilities you have when you have been requested to do this so please don't worry, it was a very enjoyable tour to see where your beloved horses/pony live and thoroughly enjoy their life, thank you 💖
Thank you 🥰
haha the duck reminds me of the dad in kung fu panda!
Your yard is so cute! Also, your chickens are adorable, they were very mischievous, they really liked that plant. XD
Our chickens do the exact same Holly. It's bloody annoying, I call them our little devils😂
Still love them.
The chicken in the flower pot with the other coming to join the party had me laughing 🤣😂 lovely yard also
I love having my own yard so much! I love how independent you feel and it drives you to keep everything super clean and tidy!
Wow, when you said big yard I was like, 'uhh nice a big yard is so awesome to have!' but holy hell that yard was HUUUUUGE!!!!! So lucky ! Your horses are living the life 😍
What a beautiful place~ But, I know it must take a lot of hard work to take care of it!! I'm really happy that your dad has started riding so you can have some company😀. I am curious what you are planning for in the future, after you get back from England. AND, what you will be doing while you are there. Thank you for sharing your barn and property with us!
Thank you! I’m really glad he’s started riding too ☺️
After I get back from England, I start my final year of veterinary and then next May I graduate and who knows what I’ll do after that!
And in England I’m do work experience with a vet ☺️
@@HollyLenahanSJ Maybe hang out with Lauren in Dubai? LOL!! What an experience that would be😱
I love barn tour videos! Your yard is so nice you are very lucky! 😊
I loved seeing how you use your space, and the DIY jump fillers and saddle stand! I enjoy this type of video for the ideas and inspiration. What a cool supportive family too! ^_^ thanks for sharing
Love the tour of your yard and the arena is wonderful. Love that the hedge is the boarder. I think your chickens get into the pots to knock out the dirt so they can take a dirt bath....
Wooow i never realised how big that arena was 😱😍
I love how down to earth you are Holl, it makes watching your videos so relateable and fun. Also the chicken trying to kill your new vine made my day haha
Ah mate, thank you ❤️
They’re cheeky buggers! 😂
I love your channel. Thank you for sharing your equestrian experiences.
Hi Holly!
Not to be nosy but would you be able to tell us how come you ended up living there ? I always wonder if your dad was into horses before you 😂
Also, credit to you as you might be lucky to have this place from your parents but it sounds like you do a lot of the work and you’ve never stopped through the years! Well done xx
This was amazing! Thank you so much for doing a tour. It is highly appreciated.
Our chickens seem to own our place as well 😂
We have the cups with pins and if I don’t drill the holes in the jump posts perfectly, they don’t go all the way through- which is indeed a pain. I totally understand your frustration with one light in the arena. I used to have to use my truck’s high beam headlights to add extra light😁
Thanks for the yard tour Holly !! 🥰
Hi holly I love your barn tour! It’s fantastic, all your animals are adorable! I love how you say the duck has a hat because that’s what I thought as well!!
This is my dream I don’t Evan have an arena and I want this 🤣. Love how grateful you are ❤️
I love your Pom-pom duck! Hens are great craic. You have a lovely yard, wish I had your manège!
I knew your arena was big but I didn't realise it was that big!! It looks bigger in this video than it does in your other ones!
Your yard is beautiful! And I never realised how much land you have😍 My chickens also don't leave alone when I'm at the stables, they continue to follow me around after they've been fed and I end up tripping over them😂
Haha they’re the worst! And now they come into the arena when I’m lunging and nearly get run over all the time! 🙄😂
I am jealous, your barn is lovely
Love your yard 😀😀😀
Thank you for sharing with us :) and don’t worry you come out very humble. You have an amazing home. And wow, those fields are huge!!!! I love seeing other people places, especially when it’s in another country just because it is so different from what we have here and I can’t afford traveling since I have horses so, this is how I travel 😂😂
Ah thank you! I love seeing yards in different countries too, so interesting how everyone does things differently!
My horse also gets my birthday and Christmas presents 😂❤️ Great video ☺️❤️
I just love the way you say that bloody chicken I love the Irish accent (I'm from Ireland) Also u inspire me so much about 2 years ago a connemara mare called Jeddah was at my stables and I ride her an loved her until I done a round of canter and bucked me off the next week my instructor told me to ride her again to get my confidence back so we done another round of canter and bucked AGAIN this time she positioned her neck to help me but it didn't work I ended up spraining my arm so I couldn't ride for a while that knocked my confidence the next year I had a bad call I was jumping a gate at about 50cm and the horse I was riding was about Fiona heighten was a grey ISH he refused it 3 times eventually 5 girls started waving their arms to get him over it be jumped it and apparently my instructor said he jumped it like 2metres higher the n it was I wasn't ready for it so I fell of but me being awkward sommersaulted and landed head first and I got knocked out for 20mins for the next 6 months after that I would hardly trot I was so terrified u until we came across you holly you are such an inspiration thanks to you I have accomplished jumping a metre 10 last month I'm 12 years old now and I feel like an advanced rider (maybe a bit to far) thanks holly
Every horse owners dream is to have a house right next to their stables , so every morning we can go see our lil beans
I’m fairly new to your channel (love it!) and I’ve never seen Jack.. he is soo pretty!! I just love his coloring 😍
Delightful!!
I loved this video so much ❤️❤️
Your yard is soo pretty!
Your uncle should start a DIY channel 😂 I knew your arena was big, but it looks smaller when your doing a jumping video and you only see certain parts! It’s massive! I have an indoor that is 70m2 by 90m2 and an outdoor that is 45m2 by 60m2. But the indoor needs a new roof, so that’s not great! 😐😳 your yard is beautiful with all the green! I live in Australia, and -especially in summer- we don’t have as much lush, green plantation.
In fairness it always looks a lot bigger when it’s leveled and all the jumps are taken out! But I’m still extremely lucky to have one this size 😍
One thing I do love about Ireland is all the green, one benefit of all the rain we get!
Bring some for that rain to Australia for me then. 😉😂
I would love to see a house tour next even though it’s not equestrian related!
What a wonderful place you have!!🐎🐎🐎🐎🐎🥕🍎🎀🏇👍⭐
i think a good video idea would be to invite some other equines over and paint the jumps and poles and maybe the fillers too💚
I’m fortunate to have my own place, I work my ass off for it though. I also don’t put bedding down in summer as they live out xxx
Hey holly I would be so excited if you were to do a tack room tour x
I love your videos so much! 😘😘
I love your intro!
Isabel Mejia it's the best I've ever seen
Omg u should do a "painting all my jumps and wings" vid ahhaha
When I had my livery yard/stud, I also had a lot of small children to keep an eye on during the Summer holidays so I had jump making/painting parties - I supervised, they painted. They would beg half-empty tins of paint and old brushes from their parents and I'd provide the white base plus brush cleaner. The kids used to work in pairs painting a complete jump each that they would name - it was fun and I could save my energy for other things. :-)
Yay thank you 😊
Life goals.......if I win the lottery ...o wait I can't afford to do the lottery 😣😢but seriously you are so lucky.
Have you ever thought about turning the yard into a small livery yard ? Since you don't use the stables much and you have spare fields
Wooo I’m finally early to a video 🎉🎉💛
Yaaas finally I have always wondered
I was always very curious watching your videos about 2 things: first, what is horses feeding routine? Do they only graze or are you feeding them in the morning and in the evening or do they just get sth after training? And the other thing, maybe it is up to the climate but I also keep some horses on the field but I dont think they would be safe and sound without any kind of roofing/ free access shelter in case of bad weather (snow, storm, heavy rain or wind etc) and my horses seem to enjoy it and use it. How are they doing without anything? Do they have some place to hide? anyway, great tour, big fan of yours! xo
During the summer they get fed when they come in to be worked, during the winter they get hay and feed twice a day :)
And they have lots of natural shelter because as you can see from the video, the trees on one side of the field are very tall
I'm so excited because I'm moving to a farm with a yard on it. ACTUALLY SO BUZZING I CAN FINALLY OWN A HORSE
Congratulations!!
Your yard is beautiful! I currently just board my horses at a barn. We are looking at a yard with a 4 stall barn! And how much did you pay for the whole yard?
I so wanna have my own place too, but land is so expensive where I live, because we don't have a lot of it. And since board and have an indoor arena, an outdoor one and a jumping arena with full jumps, I'm reluctant to get my own place, because I've become accustomed to all these things and if I want that where I live it's even more expensive and making an arena is not easy, if you even get permission to make an outdoor one, you will never get permission to make an indoor one if you aren't a business. 😑😑😑😑
I absolutely love your channel and welbeck is my favourite can u please do a meet the horses videos,BTW what part of Ireland from I am from Leitrim,, Bye
Very nice ...Thank you 🤗
Your yard is lovely 😊 question: do they live out all year? I’m trying to decide whether to leave my horse out full time this year and hearing so many mixed things...be great to hear your perspective as your horses are clearly in great shape and happy 😊also if they are out do you rug them? Thanks in advance 🙏🏻
Looks lovely. Really nice big house as well. How many acres do you guys have there? I'm in Ocala, FL.
I feel your pain with the chickens digging out the plants aha we have to put stones in ours so the chickens can’t dig in them. Xx
They’re divils! 😂
I love your vids ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Our dog has killed two of our chickens now he's a terrier too🙄 you have a lovely yard btw!
Wow I’m early! Have you thought about doing some helmet cam stuff? It’s my favorite
Honestly I don’t enjoy watching helmet cam videos so that’s why I don’t make them! But if enough people wanted one then maybe I could :)
Yay
This might be a weird question but how many acres do you have? Me and my fam are moving soon and need space for horses since im a show jumper!
Are you going to the RDS if so what day ...I'm going on Wednesday hope to see you there
Unfortunately I’m not going this year! :(
Dam it I was hoping you would be there
Love your land 😍😍 wish I had an arena like yours. Also, do you buy your jump rails or does your uncle buy the pole and paint them?? Been looking for poles
We bought the poles (but they could definitely do with a new lick of paint!)
😍😍😍
Luckyyyyy
You could hire the 4 big stables out to liveries? That way you can earn money at the same time.
I’m not at home enough to manage liveries :)
Hey holly im looking to buy a horse. Where are the best places to find on in Ireland (I’ve tried done deal and the deal and a few of the rescues) thanks x
What is the song in your intro?
❤️😍😀
I thought jack was going on loan or did it not end up happening x
He was on loan but came back quote a while ago now :)
You should take a couple boarders at your yard
How many acres do you have?
When u going dublin horse show
I’m not this year unfortunately:(
O ok 😂 in 2 years you will probably be able to compete there😂😂
THIS CHICKEN 😂
Will you get anymore horses or a horse?
Eventually in the future ☺️
@@HollyLenahanSJ so Welback is not going to get breed?
Sou brasileiro
My mums friend is selling her land with her house and we are selling ur house but it’s a bit over budget but we will still try to get it. I will edit this if we get this*
I'd like to put in a request for more chicken content please.
Request accepted ;)
I just wonder how anyone can afford that :( one horse is already soooo expensive...
How many acres do you have?
