CROSS COUNTRY TRAINING WITH MY OTTB

›› Very happy to be out doing some cross country again with Rocky! Make sure to watch to the end to see a comparison to this time last year... it wasn't pretty! Genuinely feels like I have a different horse to when I first got him, I'm so happy with how he's progressing.

Holly's worked her 'magic'🤗 Rocky is certainly finding his feet, confidence & 'gears'. What a difference!!! Just awesome to watch.

[@anna.kubiak]

His connection from his hind end through his body seems so much better. He really seems to be holding himself much better and actively reaching for contact trough the reins with you now rather than running through it. I’ve loved seeing his progress from the beginning💗

[@elizabethedwards917]

I just kept repeating "What a good boy" when I was watching. He has so much more confidence and loves it. Rocky is a sweetie.

[@andreawallace7724]

He has matured so much! Love how he now has such a positive brave attitude. Well done!

[@janisgriffith2919]

He sure enjoys the cross country. It keeps him interested I think.

[@fifithehuntress]

Agree with the other comments. He looks so much more connected and mature. Fabulous to see him coming along

[@leeangus1839]

Good Evening Holly. That was so beautiful. And Rocky looked like a real problem cross country horse and his flat work definitely improved. From very first time. I met him. All my 💕 🥰 ❤️💖 to you Rocky 💕🥰 too

[@bethany6148]

Clearly all your hard work last year really paid off! His attitude is completely different. What a good boy. X

[@mariespierin5737]

Whooo hooo 🎉 All your hard work has paid off. Rocky is doing brilliant 💕. Delighted for you both

[@juliaforsyth8332]

Rocky dosen't look like a scared baby anymore. Such a difference.

[@KaitehhEquestrian]

Watching the flat work part of the video and WOW - what a change in his relaxation from last year! He looks awesome; I just love him!!! ❤️

[@brittanymacdonald4380]

Wow what a difference! So amazing to see, and he is such a handsome fella with such a kind face!

[@gillwhiteman7248]

He has come on so much. It seems like he has grown into himself and knows better where his legs are.

[@marywieland795]

you’ve got an eventer on your hands!!! he is looking so smart these days!

[@lisabibby3222]

Wow! It’s like watching a complete different horse! 😍 loved this vlog!

[@janeminwell4395]

What a huge difference, relaxed, not fighting the hand, getting the shoulders up, so much more trust in tackling scary jumps. Whichever hemisphere you are in Holly, you do an amazing job in training horses. Eventing as a new goal? 😁👏

[@equestriandevi6646]

Your videos, especially this one are so inspiring for me personally and I’m sure for all of the other viewers. You have helped me so with my confidence and riding so much, you are an amazing rider! ♥ Your videos are amazing and I love watching all of them!

[@veronicasmith1147]

My god you have really transformed him it's amazing🥰😇🤑💚💚💚

[@evecory8946]

Wow Holly, how is this the same horse! He is just super and really kind. You can clearly see how much confidence and trust he has in you. What a gorgeous picture. Love it 💋

[@familydaytrading]

Love how he just locks onto the fence and goes for it now. Brilliant!

[@rubydawson2032]

Aww rocky did so well 🥺🥰

[@kathleenschaubhut4174]

Rocky is looking much smoother and relaxed. Good to see him really improving.

[@charsparks3513]

Is anyone super impressed how still Andy manages to keep the camera? Lol

[@rachelb2930]

Rocky has improved so much. Good on you holly

[@jordyn0]

rocky looks so good! such improvement from last time!! he was very strong, nervous the first time and now he is going like a 5* event horse i love you as a pair! ❤❤

[@Gabihorse]

Rocky boy is becoming super bomb proof boy!!

[@Katy.Lou.K]

You’ve got such a brave fella under you now!! You must be so happy to see him progress the way he has! The best part of our sport! He says, “Splashing in water is quite fun!” Love from California⛰🌲☀️💙

[@suzannechance5876]

Good to see Rocky living his best life! He looks much less confused than last year, yes absolutely wiser and calmer. I said last year that he was a lucky boy to have you , glad you decided to keep him!

[@Latarielle]

Just amazing seeing his confidence grow. Well done brining him along Holly!

[@inkwhiskers9948]

So so much better!! I honestly thought you'd give up on him in the beginning, but you've done such a good job! From a Rocky start to where he is now... Amazing.

[@iChiaramba]

Little man has grown so much more into himself! Much more confident than last year! Good on ya!

[@bethanyshipman2310]

Ok this is so cool. I can’t wait for his first little event

[@maren140]

Wow the transformation of Rockey is insane, great job!

[@idajoh09]

He looks so good Holly, what a fantastic job you have done. 🤩💪

[@danielabackstrom]

Wow he's looking so good! ❤️

[@chloebailey7036]

Thoroughly enjoying your videos. One minute you were in Ireland, the next minute you were schooling at the Pony Club where I grew up! I watch many different you tube horse videos, did not expect that. Keep up the good work.

[@cnkequestrian5789]

Such a brave boy!! He has come such a long way from when you first got him!

[@christinemartindale8715]

Well Rocky is a different horse Holly. What a big difference to last year well done you.👏👏👏👏 I like watching your journey with him and look forward to seeing you jumping him in your next vlog. Great to see you so happy Aussie suits you.tfs😎🏇😎

[@darataylor3906]

He’s game for everything 🥺😄 he will make someone a lovely horse ❤️

[@rebekahnewman3876]

I’m so impressed by him. He seems so much more confident and like he’s genuinely having fun. What a good boy he is! Such a big heart in this horse.

[@nikkib2143]

What a cracking vlog to watch and very positive. Well done Holly 🙌❤ x.

[@vogelvrouw]

wow hes doing amazing!! hes gotten so much braver and calmer, you clearly gained his trust

[@krystlemcdonald4303]

Go Rocky. You both looked so good and having so much fun. Could we have a Diva update please?

[@lesliepark3370]

He looks fantastic, much more balanced than last year. Good work!

[@EleanorNeville618]

He’s looking SO good!!

[@jeniferrinehart1107]

Wow! He is going so well! You ride him beautifully!

[@katherinestead708]

wow Rocky looks amazing!! like you said he's a different horse. way to go!! have fun!

[@stormedgaming6982]

Omg I LOVE those tack up areas!!

[@maddieshirley8493]

OMG Holly he is looking incredible! What a change in demeanor from last year! He looks like he is absolutely loving all the jumping and cross country. Such a good pony!

[@ninaderrick5103]

He's looking amazing!! such a good boy

[@jadekarashuchuk]

Amazing work with him Holly! ❤

[@fizzyizzy8261]

Better and better!

[@egeegee7146]

He’s a laid back chap now. But my word he’s capable. Sorts his own stride, balances himself happy to just pop round. I’d like to see faster knee action as he did dangle and late lift but I’m sure he’ll improve as he learns more. Super horse.

[@jeniferrinehart1107]

Amazing the progress he has made! ❤❤❤

[@rachelweisz861]

So excited to watch!!!

[@Meggasaurus135]

Wow, he's come so far, what a clever boy!

[@nadineevans2803]

What a transformation!! Well done to you both, he's so cool😍

[@ozbird03]

Wow he is amazing, what a difference bless him xxx

[@kateellis9325]

Oh wow! He’s come such along way and looks fantastic 🥳

[@oscillatewildly666]

rocky's back!! yay!! :)

[@maddywilson4747]

you should be very proud!!!

[@Olly_rules_the_world]

Idk why but every time I see Rocky's face I think of a mule😂 Love him tho💜💜

[@NoThankUBeQuiet]

The TB ears are long at times

[@victoriazawoda3755]

That’s a bit mean rocky is lovely

[@SarahG1183]

is rocky at the place where diva is? does diva's owner Andrew (?) still have her? Rocky looks great

[@KMartha22]

He is doing so good and using his shoulders really well to get over the jumps

[@sharongraham8260]

Omg what a difference .

[@-Sunday.Equestrian-]

Where did you go? Where is that place? Bc i would love to know!!

[@terrelltoni]

So you can go to Oz and take rocky xc... I'm still waiting for khal cross country😭

[@WLCC10]

So am I. I really think Khal is a potential eventing Super Star.

[@Outerbanksss]

Hey holly So I have a five year old 0TTB and I cannot get her head down whatsoever if you have any tips or anyone in the comments please please please tell me❤

[@Tanner-Pferdetraining]

Get control over the other body parts and the head problem will fix itself 😉

[@katymlolo]

Are you doing supercross Derby on October 16th? I'm one of the photographers for the day. (North eastern PC)

[@caroleminvielle9554]

He looked like he was enjoying himself and so did you….and that’s the whole point,isn’t it?

[@gilliangallagher1918]

What's happening with Welbeck and Fiona?

[@JoTigerlilyMae]

Ummm.. holly... you have a little event horse on your hands there!!!!

[@metalkingtohorses]

I don't think I could have stayed on if my horse did that big sideways aversion to the jump
