Wow!! Actually in tears 😭 Incredible video that really shows Nero’s story and why he has captured the hearts of so many people!! What a pony!! He is an absolute credit to everyone involved in his journey and I’ve loved every minute of watching him over the last 6/7 years 😊 And I am so happy that he has such a lovely home to spend the rest of his days in now he has retired from jumping 💜 Love this so much! x

[@horsinaround9085]

I'm not crying, your crying.

[@CozyKitsunae]

Damn, that pony can jump 🤭

[@horseymad22]

Amazing as always Kate I can already tell I’m going to be in bits by the end of this! The relationship you two have is absolutely legendary 😭♥️ Nero has found his heart human just as much as you’ve found your heart horse 🥰

[@himyfriends758]

When he was for sale from Sophie my mum was interested in him so we were going to get him or the was another called bella and then one more called Arian. It took us a while to choose but then you had Niro so I was left with Bella or Arian so we ended up with Arian, he’s just like Niro but he’s a chestnut 13.2, I’ve jumped 1.50m on him and couldn’t ask for a better pony ❤️

[@equinesisters7230]

This is incredible 😍😭 And the sea biscuit audio at the end 😢😍

[@jemmas-h2842]

That's what got me! 😭

[@loishendrikx9311]

[@autumnfieldstables3320]

Nero is amazing who ever gelded him must be regretting it because he is spectacular

[@JillProductionZz]

Such a legend! Love how you included all of his owners, I've been following him sinds Sophie. Beautiful video, gave me goosebumps :)

[@lily.showjumper3600]

Omg Kate this video really is sensational Nero is the most incredible pony and has inspired me in so many ways! His journey is something else he looks like a completely different pony and what you’ve achieved with him is phenomenal I can’t express how you two have helped me in the past few weeks in terms of riding but he has changed so many peoples lives for the better and he deserves the best retirement! To Nero 🥂

[@phoebemoon5047]

I have a pony just like Nero, but recently my mental health has been terrible so I've had a friend look after him. I'm hoping in the new year I'll be well enough to ride again.

[@theenglishpandagaming3823]

He’s such a beautiful horse. This was an incredible video, well done Kate and Nero

[@gracieexler9637]

Omg this is so motivating and inspiring, what an amazing horse is he and you are very lucky to have him in your life ❤️

[@dannieq2384]

Omg this actually made me cry he’s the most amazing pony in the world and being able to see him grow up in a video and become the legend pony he is today is amazing I love you Kate and neen! ❤️

[@aehequestrian7446]

Wow , you’ve had such a long journey and he really is one in a million ... cryed the whole thing , because my mare had an injury last year and I don’t know if she will ever be jumpable again , or even ridden properly , Nero gives me hope that she will be ridden again 🙏🏻

[@hannahmarie1155]

My mare was diagnosed with heaves right before our first major show jump show. That's going on 3 years ago now, it's funny because we switched to western and we love it more than we ever did jumping!

[@wolfgirl4486]

@@hannahmarie1155 that's so great

[@wolfgirl4486]

Was she rideable again, I'm begging everyone that she is

[@emilycapon]

That pony deserves the absolute world i dont think he'll ever be forgotten

I want a horse like Nero 😱 but he is one of a kind, a keeper, take good care of him Kate.

[@laurendoerr]

Nero is the reason I found your channel and I have stayed with you for years now. I miss seeing you and him go to shows and his bucking and one of a kind jump. He really is a very special horse and you have done right by him and take such good care of him.

[@my_bay_jed5509]

What a horse, and what a rider! Forever one of the most amazing horse and rider pairs out there

[@beachbumetta]

[@anjareed5388]

Katie this had me in tears. He is such an amazing horse and your journey together is truly inspirational. I love you both so much. Xx Anja ❤️

[@apachejack4078]

The horse is jumping higher than the jump actually is!!!

[@alexbruce754]

I managed to hold it together until the audio at the end where you could see how he evolved and how much he meant to everyone he’s been with 💖 that feeling is magic 💖💖

[@oliviarodrigobiggestfan2602]

5days later and I’m still watching it 24/7! Haha it’s so inspiring!

[@libbydwyer2477]

This made me cry but it’s worth it I love Nero he’s the best I wish I could have him forever no matter what he’s definitely stands out he’s amazing and like no other

[@synnesilentweb]

[@username_222]

This horse will go up in history💓😭And all remember him till we’re over 80😍😖💔💓

[@oliviarodrigobiggestfan2602]

This is honestly amazing. I knew he was amazing but not this amazing! It blows my mind to think he was a gypsy horse it’s just super! He litterally flies over those jumps. You can tell he enjoys it so much. What an amazing horse and rider❤️

[@horselover7819]

Your such an amazing rider and there is no other like you and Nero💓

[@isabellebest5966]

I just want to say that this horse is clearly like no other . I had literally been my dream to see him and he is gorgeous . This video is so gorgeous and I think I speak for everyone when I say we are so proud of you and Nero

[@ggsooyoun]

One of the most amazing little ponies Ive ever had the pleasure of seeing jump. What a beautiful journey. Truly an incredible little horse, and Im happy he has such a great home to spend the rest of his life at. ❤️

[@nyxxexists]

You are so lucky to have such a amazing pony, he is honestly the best pony anyone could ask for, if I had him I would be the happiest person alive, he is so handsome and such a great jumper, but its really not about how high a horse can jump, or how pretty they are, or how fast they are, its about the bond you have with them, he is the sweetest horse I have ever seen and honestly might be the sweetest horse in the world, you are so lucky to have him

[@Karatequeenofscarf82giraffes]

[@ellasj5913]

This pony has so much history, I can remember competing against him with his first owner when I was about 6 at all my local venues. I can remember him always bucking and when I found your account I couldn’t believe my eyes! To think how far he has come is truly amazing.

[@Amelia-li3cw]

Wow what a beautiful amazing stunning horse 😊

[@thechampionsofracing1760]

[@jamiepennock546]

Amazing 🤧 I find Nero to be such a hilarious, one of a kind horse. The way he moves, the way he carries himself over the jumps... it’s so unique.

[@oceanaselman9032]

Omg this made me cry, he is the most amazing, powerful little horse I have ever seen, he puts his heart and soul in to everything he does... and he does it for you Kate! You have been my biggest inspiration for a long time now... I remember when I first started watching your videos and thinking “omg I want to be just like you!”. You and Nero are perfect... PERFECT! I hope Nero enjoys retirement, he should be one proud horse for the amazing legend he has become in the equestrian world... the dark emperor! Love you both lots

[@elizabethl581]

Have you checked to see if he has any back issues? maybe that's why he lands and bucks after fences..? Just a thought. Love you Kate great video!!!!!

[@ellahughes2309]

This is amazing the way he jumped small at his first owners and then you doing the bareback jump I think it was like 1.52 or something just wonderful xx

[@georgiaautumnharris]

I’ve followed this incredible horse since Sophi Ball owned him, i remember back then being literally stunned by this tank. Amazing journey, such a beautiful video to honour him too.

[@eleanor..dillon]

Nero is amazing he reminds me so much of my pony just loves jumping and will jump the biggest he can even with how small he is

[@itzanna794]

I’ve always wondered how big (the max) he could jump but I would rather him be happy. He is an incredible horse Kate you should feel very lucky as you definitely look like you do
