A year on, the confidence in the canter has got better!

Almost a year after 'Woah Shamrock', Nick has been working on the canter skills...

[@bethany2130]

Looks like Shamrock's doing *much* better! I've never even met him before but I'm actually really proud :)

[@darthhooker]

Wow what a improvement! Respect to you both

[@MaryWhiteWolf]

Whoa! (no pun intended!) *M-A-J-O-R* improvement! :-D It looks like Shamrock is learning to respect you (I love his cheeky nature) and you sound so much more confident with him. :-) Keep up the great work! :-D

[@SPohl-zy4rz]

Glad you're hanging in there Nick. Shamrock sure is a sweetheart. Hope to see more of the two of you.

[@algypsy17]

Great, Shamrock finally speeks Woah-language ! You feel better ? ;-)

[@mist8z838]

A year on, the more and more confidence, respect, relaxing 'Whoa! and love...Just beautiful! Thank you for posting the video!

[@nancydauphinais7994]

Wow! I'm so impressed!!! Thanks for posting this "happy ending." Having fallen off my draft/TB cross (and broke my pelvis) when he unexpectedly broke into a gallop (in my first show, no less!), this is very inspirational!

[@leighmerlin]

Do great seeing this. Am glad you've persevered and all you're hard work has clearly paid off. Very well done.

[@kelswilson4526]

Absolutely amazing. Beautiful boy Shamrock and well done Nick. 💗👌🏻

[@CharlotteWeb100]

Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!! That looked great fun and nicely done - both of you.

[@nixmoretta13]

Well done! I’m impressed! Hope you’re enjoying yourself now! Sham certainly is!

[@angeloftheshadows1344]

i see improvement in both of you, you are a lot more confident and relaxed and shamrock is a lot more easier to handle. The reason why you can handle her is because you speak with a clear voice, meaning, in the video where she takes off and you couldn't control her is because you were panicking, she felt your fear and because of that she just ran faster and faster, a horse can feel it when his rider is scared or not. Just try to stay calm in every situation and your horse will stay calm too.

[@Thatsmagick]

Spot on x

[@jessicahawkins6130]

Good job both of you!!!!

[@overlordone1246]

That was awesome. Congrats on the vast improvement. Looks like a handful but fun.

[@carolinebarney9008]

Awesome, well done Nick. Shamrock is being a sensible boy now.

[@yasminsilwany7017]

caroline barney actually shamrock didn’t change at all lol the owner just learned how to cue him and communicate

[@aaronboggs9719]

That's a long way to come from the first video. Seriously, well done!

[@nick4098]

Glad you think so!

[@plantsbatsandcats]

Love it! Great job you two!

[@emilydarcy5422]

Love the improvement. We need to see more of you and shamrocks adventures

[@yeahsure9035]

Now Nick says "Wow Shamrock"

[@professormustard75]

Lovely to see this! I have my own racehorse that's off the track and has been with me for 7 months....there have been many WOAHS! but he's worth it!

[@melodymoore9765]

Is this Shamrock? If so I love it. No broken anythings for man and his horse.

[@nick4098]

This is Olive, another ex-racer but not quite as..... keen.... as Sham.

[@metalkingtohorses]

your title should say," A year on, the confidence galloping has got better!"

[@wandabissell]

Well done!

[@leighmerlin]

I also must add, looks like you gave some amazing hacking, I'd love to ride that canter myself.

[@itzmeg3988]

I mean the only part that you cantered was in the last like 5 seconds 😂 other than that you were galloping...

[@msrcp7938]

Lol so true 😂 Woahhh Shamrock.....

[@silverkitty2503]

@@msrcp7938 Its a forward fast canter. But a canter still. I don't think sham does collected canters he just a wild rebel!

[@Leelz247]

I'd be saying "gooood girl" while being scared shitless through that beginning, lol

[@amywright8184]

That’s a racehorse canter tho

[@melissaannspake7990]

It’s a three beat canter

[@moirhann]

WOW.. awesome... nothing better than cantering a racehorse :)

[@ollieedwards4155]

For anyone who said this was a gallop, it isn’t. It’s a forward canter. You can hear the three beats throughout and when he slows down at the end, the beats don’t change, only become slower. There would be a beat change if it was gallop.

[@callybowden7055]

Gorgeous well done x

[@jacquelinemangold1968]

Well done!!

[@SusanShambaugh]

You're doing great!

[@lauren1779]

[@ThomasDoubting5]

[@horseygurl143]

[@silverkitty2503]

[@NZKiwi87]

So much more responsive!

[@fairy7795]

Лучший звук❤😊

[@talonhatch9342]

GOTTEN much better

[@janetmaxwell222]

That is not Shamrock. Good girl was my clue:)

[@lesleyallinson8738]

He might be retired but he still loves to gallop

[@wiskipete]

Dude I'm proud of you man I sold mine when he threw me off

[@jessuptonxx7173]

I still don't know how to sit when galloping

[@indiacr6865]

I think it was wocket woy

[@treigjmiller2847]

Er Er... galloping mainly

[@stuartalexander3]

Why would you want to gallop a horse on ground similar to a road. It won’t be long before your horse goes lame.

[@pamkellow1605]

He's an ex racehorse ,I don't think it enters his mind he's on hard ground !!!

[@chookfeather]

Umm dude...that is a gallop not a canter.

[@JOHN----DOE]

Not an improvement in "control skills." Only in "not falling off" skills.

[@shermoore1693]

Well done!
