A WEEK IN MY LIFE WITH ALL 3 HORSES | HORSE VLOG

#horse #equestrian #horses
A week in my life with all 3 horses, have a sneak peak into what i get up to with the horses for a week, from hacking out, to lunging and schooling
Don't forget to subscribe to @KarenBadrick1 to follow along with our journey
Here I share my journey from a complete novice horse rider to now competing at horse of the year (HOYS) shows whilst being a completely self-taught equestrian.
I have failed so many times over the years but always learnt something from it, I hope that my KZbin channel will be able to help teach you all the little bits that nobody seems to share and help progress you on your riding journey quicker than I did on mine.

I am a completely self-taught horse rider who has a big dream to compete at HOYS, why not follow my journey to see if we can make it,
I'm not perfect and I make mistakes but what we learn from it is what truly matters.

Hiya Ohhh I love baking cakes 🧁 Thank you so much, oh yes I’m sure he will be up for that, Yes he’s coming on so well isn’t he whilst riding willow, where willow stays in the pace easier it gives Lewis time to then think and work on his position xx

[@shonakelly4985]

Honestly Karen you are such an inspiration you and Lewis have given us such amazing golden nuggets about all things Showing. My 10 year old daughter and her pony had their first Showing qualifier on Monday and WON in hand Coloured!!🌟🥇🌟🤩 Now we’re hooked and can’t wait to go to the next show! It’s really built her confidence 🥰🤩

[@KarenBadrick1]

Thank you so much, this comment really does mean so much to me 🥰 That is amazing, I am so happy for you. Well done 👏 Keep me updated with all you do x

[@sophiabains5140]

You are soooo lucky to get able to use Yr friends school!!! What a lovely school it is too!

[@KarenBadrick1]

Oh yes so lucky, it’s amazing and huge 🤩

[@aaronsmyth2026]

Massive commitment, a lot of people don't see that side.

[@KarenBadrick1]

Thank you Yes it’s a full time job in its self just looking after the horses

[@karenb.9281]

Congrats on conquering that fear 🎉❤😊...I do love Gambler , he reminds me of my horse lol similar build ,etc 😊❤

[@karenb.9281]

Is fibre beet similar to our beet pulp?hope you are in less pain soon

[@KarenBadrick1]

Thank you so much, Gambler is so amazing, such a lovely build to him, Yes from what I can see fibre beet and beet pulp is pretty much the same but fibre beet can give results quicker supposedly xx

[@AngelaWard-zb7xn]

Plus Karen willow would shout from back to slow down ect in horse box 😊

[@KarenBadrick1]

Haha yes he would 😂

[@kathrynmurphy-ug5qf]

Hi, was just getting into, where does time go xx YOU MUST have , gain more confidence, you are so capable. Dont think its your fault right rein, but could talk hours, do not ever apologise, eg sorry, and back problems, what a great caring equine owner you are, if worried, travelling im nof far. You deserve a medal juggling all you days. Xx you go lady xx

[@KarenBadrick1]

Thank you so much 😊 Xx

[@Siobhan_Shivaun]

Sciatica is a right curse, isn't it? I get it every so often becuse my sacroiliac joint is 'loose'. I'd a bad dose of it this time last year, went on for about 8 weeks. Usually riding in my dressage saddle knocks all the bones back into place, but I cant just go to the yard and ride any time I want these days since I don't have a car any more 😢 I was always told to walk around, or even jog when it was bad!! Yeah, no, I stay as still as I can!!!

[@KarenBadrick1]

Oh yes it is, I’ve never had it this bad before, Oh no that’s a shame 😢 I think I would fall over if I had to jog anywhere right now 😂

[@user-ib3et9gk4l]

Chiropractor sorted my sciatica in one session. He was able to manipulate my back and hips to release the siatic nerve. Groupon does great deals. Maybe your imbalance is causing willows crooked tail. Due to muscle unevenness.

[@KarenBadrick1]

The pain of the sciatica seems to be improving now thank goodness Willow has had his crooked tail since I brought him as an unbroken coming 4yr old, he’s now 12 and regularly sees the physio and saddle fitter and no one can find a reason for it 😟

[@theresajordan1694]

I needed a lie down after all that 😂. The horses are all looking stunning ❤. I feel your pain with sciatica. Its a nightmare xx😢

[@KarenBadrick1]

Luckily my weeks arnt usually that busy 😂 I’ve got physio for the sciatica this week so fingers crossed they can do something for me as I’ve never had it this bad before Thank you xx

[@theresajordan1694]

Does the physio work for you. I've never had it before xx

[@KarenBadrick1]

This is the first time the docs have actually sent me for physio so we will find out if it works on Friday 😂 Fingers crossed it works because the pain is unbearable if I cough or sneeze whilst driving the car 😭 xx

[@theresajordan1694]

Good luck with it. Please let me know if it works and I might push for it myself xx

[@welshymad]

For the rose, google cornish rose company, they may have 1, and they post them nationwide x

[@KarenBadrick1]

Oh excellent thank you, I will look them up and hope they can help us xx

[@welshymad]

@KarenBadrick1 my garden is full of their roses, luckily they are local to me so all our garden centres stock their roses x

[@davemelrose5848]

Great video and all horses are looking good. Did you know horses can eat stinging nettles if you cut them down and dry them I was told that a lot of showing people give them as supplement good for there coat and condition.

[@KarenBadrick1]

Thank you Yes stinging nettles and thistles are very good for horses, I go round and pull the weeds by hand and leave them in the fields for the horses to graze as they want but we have far to many stinging nettles so some do end up on the muck heap

[@netty4216]

Hi Karen, sorry if you've been asked before but what are your Cobs registered names? x

[@KarenBadrick1]

Hiya Willow is - sheir whisky Gambler - Danaway the gambler Donut - watling the duke

[@netty4216]

@@KarenBadrick1 Fantastic, thanks for that x

[@beckyjones5722]

You so need a favour and get your schooling area sorted!

[@KarenBadrick1]

There is not much I can do unless I pay for a school to be built properly, and I only rent this yard so that won’t be happening here sadly. I do have the choice to go and use other arenas when I want to

[@beckyjones5722]

why have you got a black eye?

[@KarenBadrick1]

I’m allergic to horse flys, and got bitten on my eye lid which swelled up and took ages to heal 🤦‍♀️

[@dr.shahidkarim8420]

Hey lady … you are playing with some powerful beasts that are not meant to be ridden. It is unnatural to ride horses and they can cause you a huge damage

[@KarenBadrick1]

Sadly a lot of things in this world are not natural, like us humans even going to work!

[@dr.shahidkarim8420]

@@KarenBadrick1 wish I could ride but I wouldn’t .. stay safe
