[@EquiiAlly]

I'm so so happy that you both found each other. It's crazy the change in such a short space of time! Well Done Therese on changing this little horses life around xx

[@ThereseMoser]

Thank you so much Ally, I really can't believe much she's improved :') ❤️

[@LS-sy5lo]

Therese Moser what is the last song called and well done you both deserve what you have achieved 😊😘

[@andraandrada4695]

EquiiAlly 💪💪💪🐎❤☝👍

[@Milestone-Equestrian]

Love the change in her body, never realized how skinny she was when you got her.

[@ThisEsMe]

The transformation is absolutely amazing Therese!😍

[@JETEquiTheory]

Freaking love you guys💗 Such an incredible pair I can't believe you've only been working with her for six months! that's crazy you're so talented dude seriously wonderful job. You're patience and detonation is truly inspiring and admirable. Keep doing what you're doing💗

[@scottthurston6435]

JETeventing agree with you what her horse was doing is what my 16hh warmblood used to do

[@alwaysmmmusic]

That is a once in a lifetime kind of horse, she was very special from the beginning and your bond has brought out the best in both of you! It is always such a joy to watch you two

[@imjustasadtwigoflemonmyrtl9043]

You done SUUUUUCH amazing work with Cara and she doesn't seem like the same horse anymore!!! You two are amazing!!!

[@musicxhorsesaddsup]

You're a wonderful person for giving that horse a wonderful life! There needs to be more people like you in life to give someone a second chance like you have

[@jenniferwright4864]

*Though Cara looks better now, I find it sad that Therese immediately began jumping Cara in the state that she was in. It all seems so rushed. Honestly, she looked like a skeleton hopping around in the beginning. If I were her, I wouldn't even think about jumping that horse until it put on weight and gained it's muscle back with plenty of flatwork. I bought a very bony thoroughbred a couple years ago, and the idea of jumping him in that state wouldn't have even crossed my mind. If I were her, I'd be doing months and months of flat work (light workouts in the beginning, and make them heavier workouts as she gained more muscle) until Cara finally fully recovered and looked like a happy, healthy horse again, and was mentally and physically ready to start jumping.* *I also don't like the fact that she was using ridiculous quotes from people (whether they were real or not) to describe Cara, to make it seem like she bought Cara as this wild, untameable, insane beast. Like for example, "She's absolutely insane and unrideable," or "At least your brave enough to ride her, she's dangerous," Cara wasn't unrideable, insane, or dangerous. She was just a little green, and a very, very, energetic horse. I remember Therese made the same kind of video for her old pony and made him seem like he was a crazy, wild beast, for he was always rearing and acting up with her, but in reality it was just confusion between horse/rider. She was nervous and not as experienced, and pulled on his mouth while sending him forward at the same time, which caused him to act up. It wasn't because he was a insane or dangerous. Do you guys get what I mean? It seems like she made this video to boost her ego, like 'hey look at this crazy horse I have and look how well I can ride through all of her crap, and look how awesome of a horse I made her into now,' :/*

[@catarinagarces3340]

Jennifer Wright I thought the same :(

[@cheyanneware6216]

To be honest .. Therese moser is my Ideal ..shes got everything ...my horses live in pasture all there life ..through winter and everything but they love it ..my thoroughbred would hate being in a stall..but i ABSOLUTALLY hate it when people dog on Therese Moser!

[@paigederooy5769]

Jennifer Wright Well, luckily for you, she isn't your horse. If you don't like the way Therese trains and does things, you shouldn't be here at all. All you want is attention. Go away if you don't like her and I'm pretty sure she doesn't care about your "training" with your horse or your opinions. You are so negative that you don't see the amazing change in her. I really hope you are not negative to your horses.

[@jenniferwright4864]

"you are so negative that you don't see the amazing change in her,"? Or maybe you're just looking through rose colored glasses, and I'm just being realistic. I never said I don't like the way Therese trains - I said I don't like the fact that she started jumping this horse when she was obviously very skinny and unfit, both physically and mentally. I did state in the beginning that she looks better now. So yes I do believe there was a change in this horse, but not to the extent that Therese made it out to be in the video. The comments she included about how unrideable, and insane she was, in the beginning of the video, really exaggerated everything and it made it seem like she got Cara as this wild ,dangerous unbroken horse, when in reality she was just a little green and very hyper. And yes, I may not agree with the things she does, but I still watch her videos occasionally, because they are entertaining. And who says you can't watch videos from youtubers you don't agree with or like? I watch videos purely on the entertainment factor. And why would having a negative comment on a youtube video about a horse being pushed too far too soon, mean that I'm negative towards my horses? If anything that means that I really do care about a horse's well-being. Both my horses are spoiled, happy and healthy and are treated very well.

[@cheyanneware6216]

i love therese moser and i would love to train like her

[@emmalaurenson1586]

Your seat is incredible 😉you truly have changed this horse life. Your such an inspiration 💕

[@horses4life16]

The amount of determination you have will get you far. Not just with horses, but in every aspect of your life. You're incredibly talented! The transformation in such a short amount of time is amazing. Keep it up!

[@kayleylascano2624]

You have so much patients and love towards her. I can't thank you enough for not giving up and selling him. Keep doing you and keep excelling! Xx

[@JulieSprang]

Holy crap she was skinny when you got her! She's gotten so much better, you've really done an amazing job with her!

[@ThereseMoser]

Tusen tusen takk Julie! :)

[@johndolan2412]

Therese Moser i love u ❤❤❤

[@alinareybey3263]

You've done so well with her! She's totally a different horse. Well done on 6 months!

[@felinehoi]

Therese.... You are such a HUGE inspiration *crying watching this video*. The sentence 'you believed in me when i didnt believed in my self' is so ON POINT here! You see cara struggling so much with her self, she really has Some issues with herself. And you believe in her and want to help her, and see how it turns out! She is really something else then a Conny d or bea or other horses you learned from, now you can teach her. I can learn so much from you. You are sitting there like a boss like theirs nothing going on, and what you do with your hands, arms, legs, if you have a bit knowledge of thuff horses you see that you're doing excellent with everything. And who doenst sees that just doesnt know much about horses. Keep up doing the good work!

[@Paardengevoel]

felinehoi hahaha gelukkig ben ik niet de enige Nederlander die hier aan het snotteren is. An amazing video Therese, keep om going! You've got support from all around the World

[@felinehoi]

Paardengevoel haha het is echt lastig om het in het Engels goed te verwoorden

[@Ida_flower_spot]

Agree!✨ True words💗

[@marijnschepers9846]

aaah je volgt echt mn favoriete buitenlandse youtuber, I love it

[@ThereseMoser]

Thank you soo much Feline, this comment made my heart melt ❤️ I'm so happy she came into my life.

[@menovagyok3740]

The hard work gives Cara very happy and healty. And you can jump very good and high. I think Cara loves you.❤️ And she loves jumping. And you are a fantastic Rider and person.

[@spannerclyde6832]

This hits close to home. My rescue was called horrible things, such as "The devil", "evil", "manipulative" etc. But I chose to see the good in him, I didn't see a dangerous horse that was broken. I didn't see a beast that needed to be tamed, I saw a soul that needed to be loved. I was told by everyone that he would be too much for me. I was told he bucks everyone off. I was told you can't bond with him. I was told he tricks you. I was told that horse would kill me. But you know what? Against all odds, with love and time, in after 6 months we recently went on our first trail without being led. Contrary to what everyone told me, he can be an amazing horse. Despite the names he was called, he is now sweet, he is at peace with the world. Good on you for ignoring the haters!

[@lianasferreira9542]

I have fallen so badly in love with Cara.I am searching every where for a horse just like her.I know every horse is unique but,I would do anything for a horse like her.Can't stop looking at her

[@HollyLenahanSJ]

I actually can't get over the difference in her! You've done such so an amazing job with her Therese I'm so excited to see how much you have improved in even another 6 months!

[@clarethomas825]

who knew our horses could be so similar? I've had jakers for a year and we are still just starting to look like you and cara. you work so well with your horses its unbelievable

[@madlynfox9509]

This was so great, I almost started crying. I'm glad you didn't give up on Cara💙! You keep showing people that you can do it. I love you so much💙

[@dofiscool5166]

I love how she jumps now, she looks so elegant and she is just soaring over the jumps. Amazing job with her.

[@mackenziesaunders7650]

Absolutely amazing Therese!!! I have a couple friends who watch your videos and all said that Cara was crazy and dangerous to ride but I knew you would be able to do something incredible with her and you have!!! you have changed this horses life for the better. Keep on inspiring Therese

[@Anastasiyax]

Fact of the matter is she is proud that she rushed that horse and jumps her insane heights in 6 months but cant even canter her calmly. there are many ways to break a horse. the fast cowboy way (chuck everyhthing on buck it out and its broken in 20 mins) or the long calm way (sacking out, ground work and trust building but would take months to years) both ways result in a broken horse but of different quality. my point is she rushed it to say "look how quickly i can make her good" a malnourished horse alone will take months to properly recover never mind time for her brain to adjust and her fitness increase. My issue here is she pushed cara too fast too quickly by cutting corners. Cara is fab but she would be better rounded and more focused if the time was spent with her and taken back to scratch imo

[@waxwingmac9976]

Ana Docherty I agree! It takes time. It took my 3 years to bond with my pony! It might take a long time but it pays off

[@waxwingmac9976]

And it's worth it

[@eventingchamp9853]

This is such an inspirational video, it seriously made me shiver!! You have come a crazy long way with Cara and you two are such a great pair. You never gave up on her and now you have an amazing, talented horse. Awesome work Therese. :).

[@azaleayfuria]

absoloutly amazing ! made me cry! just goes to show that you can fix broken horses that have been hurt and mistreated. My hat comes off to you! well done! amazing!

[@mxlikhxran5729]

She has changed so much in the time you have had her Therese you have done such a good job with her she looks so much better now too she has found her perfect home 😍😍

[@kirstenhamilton9726]

Therese words can't describe how this video made me feel. You are such an amazing person for putting up with all hate and crap that people send towards you. You're an inspiration to everyone who has eyes and can see what you have done for your amazing little pocket rocket Cara. You work harder than anyone I've ever known in the equestrian world and it shows. I can't believe it's only been 6 months since you brought cara home. I look forward to watching you Santo and Cara grow together as a team. You're an amazing horse women and have overcome obstacles with such triumph. I want to say so much more, I just don't have the words. You're an inspiration to me. I wish I could meet you one day. Keep up your good work and don't let anybody tell you or your horses that you're not worth it. You have done such an amazing job with Cara. The results are breathtaking. Job well done👌👏❤️❤️❤️

[@bushwren]

It's clear Cara's confidence has really gone up with you and now she's returning the favour, you have a fantastic partnership.

[@eefjemerckx]

what a precious little thing. Very elegant and talented. Great job! I'm sure you can make it far with her, I mean; look at those jumps!

[@SpottedLeafy]

Wow! Look how far you guys have come! She has put on so much condition and is so much more relaxed when ridden. She has clearly put a lot of trust in you. I think you guys will go far.

[@sophialarkum4470]

Got very emotional watching this. You've done so so well with her. You should be so proud!! xxx

[@shego4893]

I must say, it's been an absolute pleasure and joy to watch you from start to now growing with Cara and I have a soft spot for that mare and gosh she can jump! Best wishes from Australia

[@kennam8354]

You are an amazing rider! I love your seat and you are so brave. Congratulations to you. I love watching you jump.

[@oceane2508]

Well done. All the work you did with this horse is fabulous.

[@dakotawitheridge8903]

I’m so happy you both found each other, my horses the exact same, conformation wise and everything. These videos are so touching

[@elizabethmcqueen321]

I love Cara, you've ridden her so well to where she's calmed down so much!

[@kirstykasper3304]

She's gorgeousxx even when she looked malnourished and at a loss of hope I could see the talent you have shown to all those who judged youxxx

[@nicoleemmonds]

This is so inspiring!! She's totally found the best home she possibly could. Well done x

[@PalwassiexLove]

You did such an amazing job with her! You two are an amazing combination to look at and it's just amazing how you can turn around a horses life like this.

[@adelespeirs212]

the start of this video with the speaking and your images was absolutely stunning!! it speaks a thousand words. well done!!!

[@TheSirenVoice]

there is NOT a video i see of you where i'm not moved to tears. ...you are gifted...blessed...a miracle

[@leanneb4477]

I love it when you prove them wrong! Thanks for being an inspiration to us all 😊 what an amazing job you have done with Cara, she's a little gem!

[@L96OZZ]

Girl you are great!! Cara looks wonderful! You are truly talented and it's a joy to watch your videos! I remember when I got my horse 12 years ago it seemed so hopeless, but by the grace of god or whoever I stuck with her and today we are best pals! She's become such a great horse and taught me a lot about life! This made me cry!!

[@Night-Meow]

You had the grit, determination, and guts to get on a hotheaded horse who had her own gait, her own style, and own views on what should be done. A lot of people would've gave up on a horse like Cara, but you didn't. You could tell that she was amazing and just needed the painstaking care, attention, and training to become a wonderful horse. This actually gives me confidence to work the difficult horses in the future one day. Any who, you and Cara are a wonderful team and I wish nothing but the best for you and everyone else! P.S. Cara is beautiful. I also like the photo that I see at the end of the video of the compare and contrast of how Cara transformed from a hyper and hotheaded mare who was malnourished to a fully fed, glossy, and calm jumper.

[@ElisabetAllikas]

This is incredible. I don't have words for this. You're the person I look up to, the change in 6 months, just amazing. Love it love it love it x.

[@laurablair6110]

It amazes me what a good rider you are because cara does look tricky to ride, it's the truth, but because you're such a talented rider you make a good team! It also amazes me how brave you are to get on a horse like cara and can ride her through, you're amazing and make an amazing team! Can't wait to see you two in the future and best of luck! Xxx

[@XmybestboyX]

I'm obsessed with you two- the change in her is amazing but you've most certainly not dampened her spirits! You deserve all the incredible moments so much for how far you've come. I can't wait to see carry on your journey x

[@amymorrice405]

You're such an amazing rider, you stay calm and have proper position when the horse is jumping around like that you're amazing

[@meganfuller5843]

+Therese Moser It's so pleasing to see how far you've come with cara. she's improved so much, goes better and is obviously healthier and happier now. Thank you for not giving up on her. You're an amazing rider and I wish you all the best with your riding career. Have a blessed year ahead. happy new year. keep working with your horses and keep providing a good life for them. so glad you didn't (seem) to Get angry with her. Well done on this. It's beautiful the bond you have and how both of you have grown. ❤❤❤👊🐴

[@marinafernandes985]

I'm so happy to see how well you're doing together after those six months. When I watched the first video with Cara, I honestly tought that I wouldn't have been brave enough to ride her, but you never gave up and now she's giving you everything. What I'm trying to say is that everything you've been through with all of your previous horses, who all taught you so much, gave you the possibility to teach Cara and to help her become the amazing mare she is today ! I'm so so happy that things turned ou so great, and I can't wait to see what the future holds for you two. Also, I know I say this a lot, but watching your journey with her has inspired me so much

[@laurapatkos6503]

This video, you, and all the work you have done with both of your horses is so inspirational to me!! Therese you are such a fantastic rider, and do not ever give up because of the haters or anything! Respect to you because it was very hard , we can all see ! We love you Therese, keep up the good work!❤❤

[@emmat4808]

It's amazing how much you have done to help her. I hope someday l'll be able to help a horse like you have helped her. It's really inspiring

[@eringray426]

i'm amazed I thought you weren't gonna be able to make her a great horse! Well done!

[@hillaryrobertson379]

You have such a wonderful seat!! Good job with Cara. You both are awesome.

[@jordantallman8092]

Cara seems to have such a beautiful spirit. So amazing to see you two come so far together. This video puts all negative comments to shame. Keep it up. Cheers from California

[@kaylinoni1598]

you have come so far with her😍 i have seen major change in both of you, you have improved as a rider and equestrian and she has improved in her jumping and trust❤

[@thatpiebaldpi6454]

Amazing! Brought a tear to my eye, you have given cara so much confidence! It's amazing how far you have come in just 6 weeks! Xx

[@fastforwardeventing4214]

this is so beautiful!! so glad you found each other, well done both of you xxx

[@gigimcphee8046]

I like how you don't sugar coat horse riding👍 , you show the hard things then show that it's all worth it in the end. Keep going never give up!

[@renee3428]

Is it weird to say that I had a smile on my face while watching this video? Therese, we are all very proud of the progress you made with Cara! I hope that you two will have wonderful years together and that you can be where you want to be with her💕

[@spaceginger7627]

i seriousely cant understand how people get on horses like this on their free will. step back, do your groundwork. there is no shame in that

[@jenniferwright4864]

I completely agree!

[@anjaherbert973]

Yes, very true. I did 9 months of groundwork with my mare she was 2.5 years at the time and now, my mare has never bucked with me, cause she knows what's right and wrong. I have been riding her for a year and a half now. Go back to basics first.

[@spaceginger7627]

exactly, it's also the easiest way to teach a horse giving in to the rains and responding better to the leg. You can't just expect a hore to be perfect without first making it. I've never really had problems with my horse, but I helped a friend that had a horse with a big bucking problem. I never even got on the horse, but the bucking stopped after some sensetization and lunging exercises.

[@lovely-zm7jb]

Anja Willemse i don't think groundwork will stop your horse of bucking you off. There are much more thinks to look at and you cannot justice so fast about others since you only have sawn such a Little Part of work of their work

[@kawaiipotato7830]

Mustang Art gotta tell u something u know nothing about horses it's an Arabian they naturally look like this two it's not your choice okay ik lots of horses who even when trained by professionals still buck

[@equinebeauty7610]

Amazing journey! Both have come so far! All cara needed was a bit of love, hope and and amazing rider like you to get her there. Inspiration

[@KathiSchloti]

Had goosebumps while watching this!!! You did an incredible job, Therese! :)

[@HoofprintsofHer]

Wow she's improved so much! From a skinny stressing, to a relaxed beautiful horse ❤️ I always love watching you're video's and see you're progress. You showed me that people and horse can get were they want to be, if they believe in there selfs. Keep on going and you're a great team💪🏼

[@meganinglis7495]

That horse is beautiful and perfect in its own way

[@kaitlingoodison3807]

You should be so proud of how far you both have come! You have made my day by watching this!

[@irenewhitnell3439]

Well done, I admire you so much. You look like a great rider with lots of balance and patience. It certainly paid off.

[@LotteNuala]

She improved so much in so little time. It's amazing💞 I can't wait to see what the future holds for you and Cara.

[@erinrutherford7011]

You've done so well with her you're my inspiration you are an amazing rider and what you've done with Cara is simply amazing well done! Xxx

[@FuzzyTiger13]

Honestly in love, you've come so far and to be honest I didn't think you'd have her for this long. I'm so glad you've been able to work with her and she's such an incredible horse now :)

amazing Therese, showed this to my mum and she was blown away with Cara's development 💖

[@viktoriab.9847]

Therese, I wanna thank you so much for motivating me. So many times I wanted to quit my riding, because nothing went well anymore. But you showed me that it's worth it to fight and NEVER EVER give up.

[@ariellagesthalter1792]

You have done an AMAZING JOB with her. I can't believe it's only been 6 months she was super skinny before. But now she looks like a normal mare.

[@sianroberts4667]

[@marijnschepers9846]

you did this so good, she is a whole other horse now, she looks so happy and healthy and you two are a really good team!if you can do this in only 6 months, who knows what you can do in a year or two year, your future with her is so big and full of surprises! I believe in you and you are my favorite youtuber!

Thank you so much ❤️❤️

[@liz.mcgregor9239]

SHE IS LOOKING INCREDIBLE !

[@Christiex2]

Watching what you do with your horses is really amazing. It takes a special kind of rider to get results like this in such a short space of time with a horse like Cara. I truly believe you will achieve your dream of riding in the olympics because with work ethic like yours, you're gonna go seriously far 😊💕💕

[@EquineCass]

Wow, just wow😍 It has been a blessing to watch you grow together!!

[@DanasVlogs]

I really love how she's always a bit crazy and when it is about getting ribbons, she's like "well. I know I'm the best. Just relax" 💁🏼 like my granny jumper 😂 well done. Therese ur both work is awesome

[@BeBeautifulAndHappy]

you're such an amazing rider. What you've done with this horse (and others!) is just fucking awesome. You're one of my biggest inspiration and I hope that one day I'll be like you. My biggest dream now is to take horses that nobody believes in and change their life around and show everyone all the potential I always saw in them. Well done beautiful xx (Sorry for my english I'm french^^')

[@Anastasiyax]

my friend recently got given an horse than everyone gave up on. he just threw everyone off and many people tried to break him. Shes taken things SO slow that hes never once tried it with her (and ive seen him in action he can buck like you wouldnt believe) Shes had him a year and most shes done is ride him for 10 mins in walk. BUT it is the calmest most relaxed ive EVER seen him and ive known the horse for years. She knows where his limit is and doesnt push that. so my point there are less stressful/dangerous but more time consuming and patient ways to train a horse. Depends what kind of trainer you want to be. I can guarantee if shed taken a year just to sort out her ground work build trust and sort out the flat work she wouldnt have had to ride through all those tantrums.

[@TheSirenVoice]

You make me cry each time. you are so good at this.... * moved

[@emilystjohn8403]

Therese, I'm speechless. You are so amazing with Cara. I really wish I was able to do what you did with her. You and Cara are an incredible team, with an incredible story. I really don't know what else to say, because I'm at a loss for words. All of your videos and stories of Cara sometimes make me cry out of happiness for you and the horse. Cara probably wouldn't be on this earth anymore if you gave up. But you didn't and I don't know if you know this, but YOU saved Cara's life.
