CANTERING A CHESTNUT MARE AND EXTREME OBSTACLE COURSE ON STELLA

Girl's need boundaries, with constantly riding Stella, she's your horse, they have theirs now, it's time mumma you put your foot down. I mean this with no disrespect, towards you as parents but it's time for you to shine on Stella as it's been about getting the girls so far, some times parents are allowed to shine to once in awhile , ❤️

This is for gabby and Sophie (no hate I love your videos) please let you mom ride her horse. You two have to amazing horses who also need energy. ( remember no hate ) all of you keep working hard! ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜 👇🏻

[@kerriwhybrow4804]

noathing against gabby it was nice of her to offer but she needs to step back and ease off the pressure and let you do things your way laura or you wont find your own rhythm with stella and increase your bond on a lighter note im so glad you did the course on stella she is a horse that likes that sort of thing well done

[@DayByDayVlogs]

She really did.enjoy it!

[@americanhoney8930]

It would help if everyone would stop switching horses if you establish a rule where everyone can only ride their own horse then you wouldn’t have to worry about your kids pushing you around trying to tell you how to ride your horse

[@zainetheequestrian5677]

American Honey that’s how it is at my barn if you lease a horse only you ride them unless they are lesson horses

[@kerriwhybrow4804]

@@americanhoney8930 i dont have a problem with them or any one else riding each others horses it,s not the issue it never was what im driving at i feel gabby needs to step back and let her mum and her sister do things lauras way or sophies way not gabby,s way not because gabby is being forceful or over bearing it,s the complete opposite she is just being supportive and kind but they need to be independent of her because at some stage she wont be around gabby is twelve and right at the moment she is content to bomb round the farm and go places with her family but next year she may decide she wants to be with girls her own age and enter into subjects she can not do in home school so she may decide to enter back into the school system its called prepareing for the future i hope this helps

[@americanhoney8930]

Yeah but if the only rode there own horses there wouldn’t be all of this stuff about the kids pushing the mom around because they would already know not your horse not your problem I ride 6 horses a day and I can tell you I don’t ride anyone else’s horse and I don’t care what everyone else is doing with here horse unless there doin it wrong but I’m still not gonna sit there at tell other people how to ride because I have my own horse to worry about

Go Laura!! Don't let the girls tell you what you can and can't do! Stella is your horse so it's your choice, if you want to lead her around before riding her then do that! Love you all x

[@horsegirl07]

Can we all just give Sam a huge high five! Not that I think he doesn’t enjoy being around the horses but, he’s not riding or anything just hanging out and filming. I think that’s awesome, he’s a good sport! Great job, Laura with your riding, Stella seemed to really enjoy the obstacles.

[@marialynnporter1]

You might enjoy a western canter aka loping. You will feel more secured in a western saddle as well.

[@camrynsceals7062]

I was staring at Fionas horse while she was loping and I was like, "I wanna ride that horse." I LOVEEEE slow comfy lopessss.

[@moondropbreyers2566]

Same!!! The quarter horse I ride, is a world title holder for reining and cow cutting, his lope is like riding a rocking horse! It’s so relaxing!

[@equestriannewbies889]

Maria This is true! It's much easier to sit that gait and fun to ride! I bet Stella does it too!

[@helenlane6317]

Laura my friend you got this. Stella is now your horse so own it girl. Take charge and Just Do It. Kudos Sam...sometimes Laura just needs to take charge of her horse. Stella did amazing...no balking or fear at all. She did what you wanted and went where you pointed. If you had a mounting block built it would be easy to train her to side step for mounting...she is highly intelligent. She trusted you in this to cause no harm now girlfriend trust her. You have come so far since your accident and you have to trust in yourself gaining confidence by doing. Great video! Sophia girl you were a superstar!!! Keep that confidence going! It was a pleasure watching you and Finn...your boy did absolutely AWESOME!

[@DayByDayVlogs]

Trust me. There is much more trusting to come lol! Were not near the end of the videos yet. We got to experience a whole lot more as a team of 2! It was amazing!

[@KawaKay]

Great video. But make sure sophies not just bouncy there in the saddle when riding stella. It can really irritate a horse. And its something i need to watch out for

[@equine_oggi6611]

your girls are so lovely and caring, I get that gabby may come across as bossy or overstep sometimes but she does it with the best intentions and never means to upset anyone people need to think about what they comment. Laura your doing amazing and as you said in the video you didnt mind gabby riding her first as you were understandably a bit nervous. both of your methods would have been fine so you didnt need gabby to help but its nice that she wants to. then sam was right and asked her to go get her horse which she did and this shows that she does have boundries and respect and that perhaps she just didnt realise that you was ready to be left yet she is only 12 after all.

[@lorenheald1758]

Fin was like a different horse. He seemed so relaxed which is weird with all the scary stuff around 😂 Stella was an angel too ❤️

[@macey5085]

Wow, so brave! Great job on the Cross-Country Sophie also! ♥️

[@equestriannewbies889]

What an exciting trip!! I feel super jealous LOL! I have to say, as an adult (mom and nurse), I get irritated for you when Gabby nags at you while you’re trying to ride your horse. (Sophie too but to a much lesser degree). That whole "just let me do it," kind of thing that is incredibly annoying and I'm not even there!! I say this because I can see that is all too easy for you, Laura, to just say, “ok well Gabby said whatever, so I’ll just let her do it.". The longer that type of thinking continues, the longer it will be to build back your confidence in the saddle. You're not building Gabby's confidence here, it's clear she has enough, you're building up yours! SOOOO, GOOD FOR YOU SAM!!! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 I nearly stood up and cheered when he shooed Gabby off of you so you could just ride Stella and have fun!!!!!!! I don’t mean to sound as though I am negative about Gabby, obviously, but she’s overflowing with confidence and that doesn’t help you. I feel like other people are seeing this as well, so it’s not just me. You have got to get your butt in that saddle, if you are ever going to stop this whole “I’m too scared” kind of stuff and just do!!!!! Hop on bareback with a halter and lead on and walk around that indoor arena a couple times everyday!! It’s time actually IN that saddle, on the horse, that will get you out of the “I can’t, I’m scared” thinking! Push yourself!! You’re more dangerous in that saddle acting scared and afraid because horses will pick up on it.

Wow! Finn is good at the obstacles! Stella didn't bat an eye at them either! Storm needs more practice with the noodles and curtain. He must be a horse that doesn't like thinks flapping on his sides. That dinner looks delicious! What a lovely place to go camping with your horses. The horses seem to be enjoying themselves now that they are used to the change in surroundings and are having fun doing all the different activities. Lol! Gabby fussing over her mother, she was making sure mum was going to be ok on Stella over the obstacles. Very sweet!

[@mynameischicken3323]

Just to say when a horse snorts don’t worry they most likely aren’t mad. And don’t let gabby push you off Stella she’s your horse and it’s always good when you get to warm your own horse up

[@sydneysrandoms]

Laura, tips for riding western: 1. Loosen up on the reins a bit 2. When trotting just flow with the horse dont go up and down like that 3. When cantering LOPING really flow with the horse and move your hips try not to go up and down so abruptly, remember it's a western saddle you gotta sit back

[@quinn9329]

Ahhh I can’t believe your dream came true! You CANTERED on a chestnut horse! Holy smokes I’m so proud of you❤️

[@jewelweed6880]

Ever tell Gabby not to be a helicopter parent? ;) In a good humored way. Get it? Cause she's not a parent that makes it silly. Of course it gives a gentle message that sometimes you try to help, but sometimes you need to step back and let the other person learn by doing. Not too early for her to learn that :)

Laura I would love to see you and Stella show in some beginner obstacle courses! you were doing amazing out there

[@moondropbreyers2566]

Go Laura!! You where doing amazing!!! You have made so much progress since your fall, your not even the same person! Your not the most amazing rider, your not a world class eventer or show jumper, and no one expects you to be! but you have been making progress! That’s how riding works. Some people need to take small steps, but small little steps eventually equal to a mile! Just strive for 1% better every day and soon you will be at 100%! But I do need to say Laura, I understand Stella is all your family’s horse, but you do need a horse for yourself, gabby has storm, Sophie has Finn, Stella needs to be Laura’s. Don’t get me wrong here I’m not saying completely hog her, share her with everyone, butttt, at the end of the day she is your horse, you need to be the one riding her and working with her and creating a bond, somtimes the girls love Stella so so much they kind of push you away, not intentionally, but if you watch it does happen. Try spending more time with Stella, get your own stuff for her, and ride her more often, you would enjoy it! Remember the girls have there own horses and ponies so you deserve yours too! I would let gabby keep training her tho!! One day Laura you and Stella will be an amazing team of you keep working at it!! Also are you looking forward to your horse show on the 14th? I am!! My show is on that day too remember, but there is a slight problem, my horse is hurt so hopefully he will be better by next week! Sorry for the long comment, hope y’all have a great day/night! Remember God loves you❣️ (Also if I sounded a bit mean or pushy I am sorry, I just re read what I wrote and it’s not intended to be mean but depending on the way you read it, it can be taken the wrong way. :) )

[@kmiklaszewski]

I bet Stella has really surprised you after this trip from when she was at the first two barns. She really turned out to be the horse you hoped she would have been for Sophia. Her soul and character are just amazing and that can’t be trained. Sophia and Finn killed it out there. I think when she is left to figure it out at the walk and is able to concentrate at a slower level, she thrives. If you put some of this trail work stuff at your farm, Finn will enjoy it and he will be able to trust Sophia as a rider and leader more and more. Sometimes some of the best training is done doing good quality exercises at the walk. Now you all just need to be shown how to access your core muscles (the entire group of muscles that support you over the horse’s center of balance) stabilizing muscles and how to use the lower back as a shock/movement absorber to stay in the saddle and ride with the coveted independent seat and other aids. This will help EVERYTHING be smoother and the horses with thank you with willingness. GREAT JOB LAURA AND SOPHIA!!
