My name is Esme and this is me so I guess my channel is 'This Esme'.
I make videos about all things horsey such as Vlogs with the ponies, horse care videos and edits of me riding to help other equestrians learn more about these beautiful animals as you never stop learning with horses. :)
Animals

Casper 15hh grey Connemara
Mickey 13hh cream pony
Willow - White paint donkey
Bruno - Brown donkey
Toby - Black donkey
(Sometimes our guineapigs and chickens are featured too)
I am very fortunate to have all these animals in my life.

[@ThisEsMe]

So happy it was useful :D

[@meganandblazesadventures775]

I know

[@alexk7973]

If you get worried about the bottom of the bucket being scratched up, take a skateboard and put the buckt on top. When it's full it should be heavy enough not to slide of the board when you pull it. Also the board usually has a rough coat on it to prevent slipping...

[@ponylove4063]

I personally don't like using toothbrushes on saddles as they can scratch the leather. Cotton buds or q tips I find get in the creases without scratches.

[@corrinadawson8158]

thx for the hack

[@emilliazombie]

Jackie G that’s what I do too 😂

[@SuperSkyhorse]

You could try a soft toothbrush. I find them to be way too soft to clean teeth, but they could be the ticket to cleaning the saddles without leacing scratches.

[@papayasmith4763]

or you could use a flannel the indivisible fibres get in the creases

[@jessbheehee7475]

Jackie G..... Yeah but you are supposed to use a soft toothbrush...... they work fine

I Don’t have my own horse but someday when I get one that just saved my future life!!! 😂 LOL THANKS

[@sorayafarrall]

Just realised 😂 if you drag the bucket it will actually rub the bottom and cause it to crack 😂 it’s happened to me so definitely always carry it!

[@corrinadawson8158]

but that depends on the bucket mine did not crack

[@alexk7973]

Put it on a skateboard and pull it that way. If it's full then it's heavy enough not to slide off and it's way easier to pull, too!

[@sorayafarrall]

Omg! Thanks so much for the hack, will definitely be using that one haha!

[@papayasmith4763]

i fill them up halfway so it's easier to carry than fill the rest with a separate bucket

[@ameliecorcoran1941]

It depends on the bucket and also the distance

[@BB-fp1ir]

I always use the hose one!! And instead if carrying it I just fill the bucket in my ponies stable

[@ivyramu6829]

I showed that lead rope tying one to some of the people at my barn, and now everyone is doing it 😂😂🐴

Whiskey Chick so you just want a video of Esme cleaning saddle pads? You’re weird

[@ellieskull5064]

For the tyre hack, my horse picks up the bucket with his teeth and throws it at me in the feed room demanding more!🤣

[@glazeddonut1148]

😂😂 My horse chucks his feed bucket at me too !!!!

[@skzsquirrelies1535]

Mine does too!

[@SuperRascally]

At my barn we use something called "safety straps" they are basically old stirrup leathers that we buckle around their necks and attach it the the saddlepad to prevent the saddle from sliding back

[@kindairreevant8607]

Why didn’t you just use a breast plate?

[@SuperRascally]

Kìndå Ïrręłėvänt Oh idk? It's just cheaper

[@weirdwaffles631]

Cool also if you use a thing so it’s like a buckle that u put on the back and it keeps the saddle in place also that’s a really good hack

[@mywelshdancerig3894]

I love all of you I have been subscribed for 1 year now you are the reason why I actually started riding again. Basically I used to ride loads when I was about 5 I really enjoyed it but I took a break then wanted to start again 3 years ago yet on the first time the horse bolted I was so scared I could only walk yet last year I came across your channel and wanted to have my own horse so I started loaning a great 14.3hh pony called Dudley he completely changed me as a rider now I own Dudley and retired him as he kept going lame from working so thank you esme so much for everything you’ve done for me and thank you mickey and Casper for always being amazing 💕 please pin this to show people they can really do something if they want it, I am currently jumping now and I couldn’t be more thankful for you!!!!

have you tried a dark coloured water bucket for casper, i’ve noticed that horses often spook at white and light colours, maybe bcs they’re just unnatural, plus i’m guessing a dark bucket might seem more similar to the water trough?
