Breaking a Cleveland Bay horse to ride

We trained Suki, a 5yo Cleveland Bay mare, to ride and drive. This film shows what we taught her under saddle, doing bomb proofing work, teaching her to cope calmly with scary situations including a tarpaulin, flapping ribbons, bridges, water and hacking out with a carriage driving turnout. Some horse-riders do not like meeting carriages because their horses are frightened of them; we show that with our training, riding out in company with harness horses isn't an issue.
We also show Suki hacking out both on her own and with other horses, being ridden on grass and on the roads. If we are asked to break a horse to ride and drive, we still believe in making them safe, confident and happy under saddle as well as we do in harness. This gives them a good foundation for their owners to build on regardless of what ridden discipline they want to do in the future.

That is an incredibly nice horse, I"m in America and have never even seen a Cleveland Bay in person, but the more I learn about them the more I like them. I've spent my 70 years working a farm with mules and Quarter Horses and have many miles of mountain trails to ride; I'd love to have tried a horse like Suki. Whoever owns her now surely has top of the line.

I own a Cleveland Bay Mare. She was broken in and trained by my 10 year old boy. What a Mare. Best breed ever

[@eggonbread7054]

Such a pretty breed. If I had money, I’d get myself some land and adopt a Cleveland.

[@andrewsmmm]

Wow - what a great horse.

What a beauty!

[@Lugimoo]

For a horse that will be trained to ride and drive, which is better to teach first? Under saddle or driving?

[@plainsimple442]

I would very much like to own a Cleveland Bay as nice as this one! Do you also train for hunting?

not seen a cribbing collar for a while.

great video but such a big big shame to see no Hi-Vis on a dark horse, with a girl in a green jacket on a dull cloudy day. Couldn't blend more into the hedge row if she tried.
