I loved that you were singing to her❤

[@debbieredmon5063]

Han you are back! Affie is back! Don't let anyone tell you determination and good horsemanship can work wonders. Plus some wonderful vets. Can't wait to follow your journey!

[@Honyoutube1]

Go Affie and Han I hope everything continues to go in the right direction for you two ❤

[@issybrinesj]

So happy for you Han! Keeping everything crossed for you. You two deserve some luck ❤

[@joandjimmymay]

Han it might help if you bring you legs back a little bit because right now your boots are touching her shoulders but other then that you both look amazing

[@brendahole9575]

lol it’s hard to put your leg back on a spicy & reactive ponio - they have a tendency to go bang a bit!

[@brendahole9575]

@@AtLast796 I absolutely agree that can often be the case - but disagree they don’t have the capacity to be ‘spicy’ (aka excited, fresh etc). When you turn them out & they kick their heels up, I genuinely think it’s because it’s fun! Science may not be able to identify the structures/chemical combinations that control our emotions but I’m pretty sure horses have them. Happy to agree to disagree though 😁

[@KarenDNP]

Horses do have emotions AND a great memory! They can be spicy to downright stubborn & refuse to do anything. Plus like us, horses do have “good & bad” days.. thus they can get upset/frustrated/spooky/feel ill, etc. Some can act like they don’t hear or feel their rider’s instructions’ movements when on them. Btw imo it looks like your saddle is a lil too forward n may be putting pressure on her withers + may cause her discomfort or pain in her shoulders to her back. Thus causing her reactions or maybe she’s just mad about the 10 months of school & she wants to test you/see what your reaction is, when she’s trying to be naughty 😈 towards you on her back. Yet deep down, Affie is glad you’re back! You two are a great fit.🏇 💜✌️🦋🐴

[@emmadm826]

You are a lovely, sympathetic rider - well done & onwards and upwards!

[@kathrynschaller8875]

You handled that so much braver than I could have! Great job. So happy for you and Affie.

[@magicaltrails]

YAY HAN!!! I have a pony who is SO much like her--all rushy and silly to start and it always took him a long time to settle. Just keep at it and now that she will soon be back in real work, you can start to instill new, better habits. 🙂 So happy for you!!!

[@philippacheyne6039]

Well done Han 😊

[@TheJumpingGymnast]

Well done! You handled her tenseness so well

[@law7897]

Thanks Han. It’s lovely to see you back on Affie, she did really well after ten months of not being in the school. You must be so happy xx

[@esthers.9185]

So happy to see Affie back doing work with you! I can tell she's super excited, and I'm so impressed you can tell when she's going to act up and when to tell her to relax. I'm the same way when I know my cat is about to act up, but I know that's not half as impressive as doing it while on a horse. Great job, and I hope you both continue to have fun on your journey! 💕

[@dianehookham]

Congratulations Han, im going through the same process with different reason, im so happy for you, cant wait to watch your progress with Affie.

[@Amelia_Lyne5000]

So lovely to see you back in the saddle! i would have been scared to death.

[@suzannechance5876]

She looks well! Wonderful to see!

[@kathrynschaller8875]

Considering she's done minimal work for the past 10 months and can't be lunged before getting on, she was very much honest. My horse would've been up in the bushes and doing acrobatics lol. She really only had one spook/bolt which you handled brilliantly.

[@ShaneGilbert-cx4th]

Happy New year to YOU all, Take care and all the best with her rehabilitation. IT ALL takes time AFTER 10 -months off ,AND trying to find OUT what was rong .Take care all and ALL the best for 2024 .😊😊😊👍👍👍💟🐶💖 And a big thank you to your friend From sue in coventry uk.

[@candidapratt3675]

That was so lovely / scary /heartwarming.

[@marneymcgovern4285]

Nice work!!! She is not an easy horse and you do a really good job!!

[@jessicahigdon3962]

Great video Han. She just needs to get some miles under her.

[@faiththatcher203]

Guess who's back, back again!!! So excited for you Han I hope everything goes amazingly well this time ❤️

[@the_greensisters]

Whooop so please so you!🎉❤

[@Rosa_and_horses]

yay!😊

[@rutherose23]

Glad to see she is doing better. Will you be training her to stand quietly at the mounting block while you get on for safety?

[@Me_Fig_Daisy_Lottie]

Hii FIRST!!

[@JustHorseyMie]

I s she just really tense or is she uneven behind? It looked slightly better in trot the other way, idk. I hope you can move forward with her, that everything is allrigth.

[@dimplechops88]

She was spicy 🌶️

[@Siobhan_Shivaun]
