What an honest horse. He looked at a few but no hesitation at jumping. You have an absolute treasure there.

[@ywaiming]

Thanks for sharing. I like the way you approached the jumps without rushing. And although Tonic slowed at 1 of the jumps, he did not refuse...such a lovely horse...a real confidence booster. There were a couple of unusually shaped jumps...interesting. 👍

Your ears must have been burning. I was only thinking this morning that you hadn't posted anything lately. Good schooling session. loved the relaxed way you went around the course.

Well Done Tonic - getting ready for the new season!

[@sarahcooper3378]

He made that look easy and he was very relaxed. Love the ears forward and the way you have him set up in a very uncomplicated way. Great facility. I've seen other cross country places where it's all flat, no trees or hills, very boring. This is great. Pleasure to watch.

What an awesome horse you´ve got there. I´m hoping my 2yo ID will be just as brave 😁 I just love following you and Tonic on your adventures together 😍 Some showjumping next? 😉

[@carolynevans7676]

Are you going to event him?

[@miaanne9889]

Tonic has grown well since you brought him from Ireland. He is an amazing horse!

[@AngelikaHeine-f8r]

Lovely team !! Really great, sensitive, fluent ride. What a good boy. Could watch you all day. Thats what i call a good and fair style of riding. Keep going 💪

[@katherinestead708]

Tonic is epic! are you going to do some eventing with him?

[@hollywill2226]

He is so gorgeous!! So well trained too😘you’re good with horses, for sure😎

[@equine2020]

A good rider, with a good horse. Good team.

[@markabell3179]

Monty, just curious, what is your training and conditioning regime for Tonic? He is so fit to be able to handle the demands of long gallops. What is your routine for keeping him that way?

[@niawebbon]

He is SO scopey

[@sarahk8785]

That’s a fabulous horse you have. Really lovely to see an IDs progress on KZbin. Please keep posting videos of him! ❤

[@karinstrothenke3856]

Good job - well done 👍🏻 tonic gained so much confidence in you during the fox hunts in fall and winter so it pays off now 😊

[@equine2020]

Love Grey's. Have had 2. Love cross country jumping.

[@egeegee7146]

He’s so utterly genuine. I think the larger the fence the better he’ll shape himself.

[@Haribosarecoolyoushouldtrythem]

I love tonic! He’s so pretty and has loads of scope and your such an amazing and polite rider!

[@almirakline6070]

😊fun to watch. Interesting assortment of jumps and terrain.

[@niawebbon]

Tonic is so honest and brave. He is amazing❤❤

[@kristenmatelske733]

You and Tonic make it look easy🙃✨✨✨ A pleasure to watch

[@ameess_]

Love him so much! Your release at 3:19 was amazing, always a pleasure to watch you ride

[@catherinecooper1466]

Your mum is a good camera person.😀Tonic was so brave, and it was good to see you all having fun in a different environment to the humane drag hunts. 😀

[@almirakline6070]

😂glad you didn't faint from your tight vest.

[@victoriacollier8121]

Monty you should do x country with him. You would do well. He is such an honest horse.

[@kathleenschaubhut4174]

Tonic was amazing and he seemed to take everything in stride. He is fun to watch.

[@catchryder2591]

I love going out with you and Tonic. He's doing so

[@plainsimple442]

I enjoy seeing you and Tonic in hunt mode!

[@MerelyGifted]

Your Tonic is so great. Jumping a horse who loves it even more than you do is sublime. That said, it was hysterical at 3:13 when he *looked* at that obstacle, sucked back hardcore, but then popped it antelope-stylee!

[@taosholly]

This is a really great, green horse! I had one like this back in the day. Lucky you!

[@keithhughes9992]

Enjoyed that .. cheers !

[@graphicgirl7266]

He is so relaxed through it all. Seemed like nothing really phased him.

[@josephhelyenek9203]

Monty, how old is Tonic?

[@Haribosarecoolyoushouldtrythem]

17 ish I think

[@xxmissspecialkxx]

He’s a 5 yr old I think

[@Haribosarecoolyoushouldtrythem]

@@xxmissspecialkxx I don’t think so! If you look on one of his hunter videos it says “yeah he’s 17 today “

[@msgpoloeventing]

He’s 5 years old now - turns 6 on the 28th October. They normally start their year in January but it says his birthday in his passport so I use that.

[@luvmuffin1988]

Tonic is absolutely amazing for a 5 year old! So confident and fit. Y’all have a very bright future 🇨🇱
