Join me as I stretch my comfort zone a little further by Competing a New (to me) Horse for the very first time having only ever sat on him once for all of ten minutes!!

[@janl8683]

Well done to you breaking out of your comfort zone. That was a huge challenge which you aced. I'm sure Banksy is just as proud of his Mummy and is happy to share, until he is fit and ready to be ridden again. Also riding other horses will do you so much good as well ❤😊

[@LifeontheLeftRein]

I’m super lucky that people are enabling me to keep riding and trusting me with their babies xx

[@rachelbradley7204]

Well done Tina and Wish, he would make a great team member.

[@LifeontheLeftRein]

He's stunning isn't he!!

[@anna13lak]

Tina, so happy for you! Having these experiences for learning is a fantastic opportunity! Some minor thoughts, though…your stirrups length would work better at just a touch longer - it will help ride less “in the hand” to seek out your balance and it’s better for your horse because he’s receiving more communication from the seat and he’s able to get better, lighter contact - because the horse is attempting to deliver more contact. Great job, hoping to see more of these videos! ❤🎉🦄

[@devils.advocate2354]

Baby steps turn into huge gallop strides before you know it. Proud of you Tina. Totally different mind set from normal routine (no trailer, missing half your tack, unfamiliar horse) and it all seemed to run smoothly except for the keys 😂 always has to be one wrench in the mix to keep you on your toes 😊 you looked like you enjoyed both tests so positive day. Your mommy…”Air Jacket” 🧡 safety first safety always

[@nellafrosst6453]

Was fun to watch. As much as we love watching you ride Banksy, and hope to see you out competing on him for another decade, he is getting older. It is good for you as a rider to try out different types of horses, in different situations. Then when (way in the future) Banksy retires you will not feel totally lost on different horses.

[@LifeontheLeftRein]

This is so very true and definitely something im going to be doing more of xx

[@gemmaross2066]

You are so brave throwing yourself at all these new challenges xx it’s lovely to see ❤

[@LifeontheLeftRein]

Thanks Gemma, I’m really enjoying the challenges xx

[@greenecrayon]

Again, such a joy to watch you out and having fun being a horsey person.

[@LifeontheLeftRein]

aaawww thanks

[@bethany6148]

Wow what a beautiful boy he is 😍 you did so well! Xx

[@LifeontheLeftRein]

hes so lovely isn't he

[@jennielaw6329]

Hi 👱‍♀️ I'm a new follower...here via Meg Elphick What a great day you all had! So sweet to see Wish watching his buddy and being such a good boy staying quiet while Wallace did his test. Also when Wish told Wallace to back off and his owner hardly even glanced up....totally used to the dynamics of her lovely boys 🤣

[@katierscott8771]

Thoroughbreds are such a different horse to ride.. but also an amazing ride. Well done on handling him so well, I am in love with Thoroughbreds now but the feeling like they just want to go forward and learning how to control that is exactly what I have been learning with Hugo. Great work, well done.

[@equineeatsntreats]

Oh he is gorgrous!! Well done Tina

[@LifeontheLeftRein]

Thank you ❤❤

[@xerinlilly]

your giving me so much motivation to push myself ive just broken in my baby and have hit a wall of no motivation and no want to do anything anymore but this is amazing, truly what riding is about is pushing ourselves and experiencing enjoyment 💕

[@andrearamirez550]

Good job Tina! Wish and Wallace were so cute together 😍

[@LifeontheLeftRein]

Cuties aren't they!!

[@jessicahigdon3962]

Great job Tina!

[@Dropintheocean84]

12:29 Teasing the vlog here Tina!!! Lol! You look lovely on him and did a really nice test. Especially having only sat on him briefly the day before! I definitely wouldn’t have the confidence to do that, so good on you! 😊❤

[@tori_s_equestrian]

Oh, Tina, well done, lovely. Going out there and doing a dressage test on a horse, you literally sat on the day before for 15 minutes. Can I just say, "That just shows you what a good jockey you are! You are definitely too down on yourself at times, " but we are all guilty of that. When you got emotional, I filled up myself. I definitely felt that emotion from you. You did good girlie well done! Be proud of yourself! Everyone else is! Oh by the way - did I hear right? Is wish for sale? Weren't you after another horse 🤔 you looked brilliant together! Just saying... 😊

[@NoThankUBeQuiet]

Getting on and immediately competing a strange horse does WONDERS for your riding skills/confidence. in the second test when they say more consistent I think they just want your reins a couple inches shorter to steady them a bit more. Its a little nitpicky but it is the job to be nitpicky

[@4_ponies_and_pixie]

Great scores and well done 👍. Looking fab together, he really would make a lovely friend for Banksy. 😉💜

[@LifeontheLeftRein]

Thanks Jac, I feel very lucky to have been allowed to ride him xx

[@jeniferrinehart1107]

Oh, how well done ! 🎉❤🎉❤

[@LifeontheLeftRein]

Thanks Jenifer xx

[@TheJumpingGymnast]

I install that stop button on my horses too!

[@LifeontheLeftRein]

Clever!!

[@TheCowgirlNiamh]

So proud of you! Loved mom in the background “air jacket! 😅🥰

[@LifeontheLeftRein]

She’s so funny!!

[@TheCowgirlNiamh]

@@LifeontheLeftRein she is and seems very sweet! We need more appearances from mom 🤗

[@trudiclark7841]

Well done you for pushing yourself out of your comfort zone. A win is a win, I went to my first show in 20 years a while ago and came third, what I didn't tell people was that i got bucked off in front of the judge and then my boy wouldn't stand still for me to get back on so I left lol but as there was only 3 in the class they gave me the rosette - I think they felt sorry for me. Keep up the good work and you will soon be back on Sir Banksy and getting those rosettes on him xx

[@laurabyrgren-thurston4990]

Well done, such an achievement 🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@LifeontheLeftRein]

Thanks Laura xx

[@sharanratcliffe4242]

Well done. You both suited each other and you rode a fab test.

[@LifeontheLeftRein]

Thanks Sharan, I really enjoyed pushing myself xx

[@elinaparkkonen517]

You showed the same horsemanship as Sam on Banksy in that jumping competition when he had ridden him only once before 😍🐎👣!!! So beautiful and balanced💖. I hope Wish gave you a proper boost of appreciation towards yourself, Tina💕. You aced it!! Best wishes to your dear mum🌸💕, no doubt about where you got your beauty from. She is lovely.

[@chrisdouglass7962]

I don't know how but I forgot Wallace!!! How could I forget Wallace??!?! 😂 He's magnificent! Wish is amazing and you did amazing too to just "go do this" 👏😊 oh and Nala!!! ❤❤❤ Next vlog Banksy update 😁❤️🥰

[@plove523]

Absolutely amazing for just hopping on a new horse!

[@kippen64]

Enjoyed seeing you look so happy!!!

[@theresahall2082]

What an amazing job you did with Wish especially for only having ridden him for a few minutes the day before! Congrats to you for a job well done. I think he'd make a perfect eventer! Maybe you should buy him and event on him :)

[@Katherinekirbydressage]

Huge well done Tina!! You did a super job ❤️

[@ChloeJoness21]

well done Tina! ❤ You are a great rider!

[@dreamylifeoflacey]

Well done Tina! So proud of you! x

[@davemelrose5848]

You done amazing riding wish for only the second time and he is handsome boy

[@christinemartindale8715]

Well done Tina ,he’s beautiful looking forward to seeing you jump him.tfs😎🏇😎

[@emmalane761]

Well done tina

[@LifeontheLeftRein]

Thanks emma xx

[@colleenw8756]

Well done. It would have been hard for you not to be riding Banksy, but obviously he needs to rest and you need to keep your skills up-to-date.

[@LifeontheLeftRein]

Exactly that 🤍

[@jessparish8165]

Well done x love an ex race xx I have my ex racer blue and he is fab x

[@dboley1950]

Best of LUCK!!❤

You know it’s amazing when you are the first to comment Was not actually firs was like third but whatevs

Speedy!!!

👋

[@belindastergaard5012]

Why do they shout out the program? in Denmark we need to remember it ourself. That's more fair, i would say.

[@finreedequestrian]

@@katywelsh2447it’s not unusual, in British Dressage and unaffiliated shows you can have it shouted out

[@abbiehughes486]

At the lower levels (this is intro, the lowest level) you're allowed to have someone call it.

[@finreedequestrian]

@@abbiehughes486 you can have it called at any level in BD. It’s just the higher up you get, the less people you see having tests called.

[@EquineEventerOfficial]

You did do good love you 1st to comment0:00

[@LifeontheLeftRein]

Thank you

[@EquineEventerOfficial]

Your welcome

[@Paulusia1111]

A bit of constructive criticism, your intros are too long and you talked over Lee all the time after your mum asked her a question. I know you were excited about the show but I felt bad for her.

[@cloverandchance]

first and i love your vids

[@LifeontheLeftRein]

Thanks for watching
