Our First Horse Show! Day 206 (07/25/20)

[@Eva-ft2rq]

“Storm is rearing and bucking.” “And Sam needs help. And he’s probably wishing he had his coffee today” 🤣🤣🤣😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@hootowlholler3760]

Storm probably wanted to see Finn & know what he was doing. They're always together.

[@gailboudreau6624]

Sophie is so determined to ride Fin,and overcoming all her fears,look out people here comes a really good rider way to go Sophie !!!!!keep up the good work💗💗💗💗💗💗💗

“It’s 5am and we’re in trouble” My Personal Favourite! Out Of Ten How Much Did You Enjoy Your First Horse Show Of The Season?

[@DayByDayVlogs]

10. Seeeing the girls push past limits was amazing

[@lilybrant8134]

They actually did a show in March before corona came to Canada!!

[@angelaequestrian7465]

DayByDay Vlogs I had my horse show yesterday XD it was sooo fun

[@savannahstaley255]

Hey! I don’t want to be that one internet trainer but I want to say something that I Would recommend doing. So Finn is really green and Sophie is a green rider you can see in the clips how Sophie doesn’t feel confident coming up to the jumps and Finn knows that. That is why he was refusing. So this isn’t any hate on your videos or channel I love them! I just think maybe put a more experienced rider on Finn when he goes to shows because it can really mess up a horse if they don’t have the right training at shows. Finn could be an amazing show horse with the right training yes Sophie did get over the jumps but it would have been WAY better if you put a experienced rider on him first. But really good job Sophie because you did awesome and you got Finn over the jumps! Now when I have lesson students go to shows I end up riding the horse they are riding first even if it’s a horse that I really trust I still hop on and ride them around because I would better be safe then sorry! Now when the students have gone to a few shows and did really well then I stop schooling their horses for so long and then they get to a point where they can school them by their self. I know I wrote an SA but I hope some of these tips helped! Also I LOVE your videos so it’s not like I’m hating on you guys your one of my favorite youtubers! So I hope you enjoyed reading my SA but the video was really good! Also ps: I’m VERY short so I can still ride the lesson ponies and I don’t weigh to much for them lol! I just didn’t want people saying like OMG why would you ride ponies still! I mean some of them are devils but they are sweet!

[@bridgetwebber5873]

Savannah Equestrian Totally agree! Finn needs a more confident rider to tell him what to do, and Sophie just isn’t that rider yet.

[@goddessofthunder6083]

Finn is not that green

[@savannahstaley255]

Goddess of Thunder || I mean Idk anything about you but I train horses for a living I can tell when a horse is green and a rider is not ready to train a horse. So maybe back off a little. No hate!

[@goddessofthunder6083]

Savannah Equestrian I mean no harm but fin is not very green. He may be a bit green but this incident was on the rider. I work with greenies also

[@goddessofthunder6083]

I agree tho that the rider is too green for the horse

[@humangecko]

I don't think Finn was scared of the wooden jumps, I think he was just picking up on Sophie's energy which was nervous about the show. Just what I can see because he didn't spook he just sunk back behind Sophie's leg. Hope she keeps going with her journey and I can't wait to see her transformation into a confident amazing rider!

[@equineconnection594]

Sophie seems to drop her shoulders and look down at the jump, resulting in her taking off her leg. Maybe focus on that to try to stop the refusals.

[@jackpotedits9193]

I agree I was thinking the same thing

[@0ph3liar]

I agree, looking down at the jump is where you will end up my instructor always says! Looking up and over the fence!

[@quinneyandthequeen9316]

And the fact she’s in a Pelham with a curb chain

[@MandyRN2003]

I have been riding for four years. And I definitely agree with you

[@tommostyles283]

It's not Finn that's scared of the jumps its Sofie

[@DayByDayVlogs]

Yup

[@jumpingjackandapollo4701]

andrea nell they do and if you are nervous they feel your body tens up and start thinking something is wrong but if you are calm and relaxed and calm then they will be to

[@chalronbjork4766]

I love how Sophie was just cantering like a pro, not bothered and how Gabby pulls Storm into line. Can't wait for the next upload.

[@eliana1615]

I can’t wait to see the videos of their classes!! They both looked really good in the warmups. Both Finn and Storm are new horses and the girls new riders! I’m so proud of Sophie for overcoming all her fears and building confidence in her partnership with Finn!! Love you guys so much and can’t wait to see what the future holds💜💜

[@juliacarrolllile]

Dose anyone else go back and watch day by days old show stuff while getting ready for a show? 🙃I dooooo

[@Eva-ft2rq]

Gabby your not alone😂 I HATE it when people cut people off, or don’t listen to me😂

[@ponypony7340]

SAME

[@thatjodhpurlife]

Storm is looking fantastic! 🥰 Lovely to see both girls riding their boys this year. Well done Sophie for continuing with Finn even after he stopped a couple times! It's really hard to get the nerve to keep trying when you're feeling nervous yourself and then the horse says they don't want to do it either. But you kept at it and you gave him the confidence to do it! So much better than last year!!

[@hollymcmorris8062]

POV: your watching this in the hospital because your horse decked you over a 125cm jump 🥺

[@joyequine9847]

Holly McMorris oof

[@hollymcmorris8062]

Big oof but I’m getting better now 😂

[@joyequine9847]

Oof that’s good

[@maggie-js3qn]

get better soon ❤️❤️

[@hahhdi]

aww that sucks i passed out when i fell i fell off from a jump! it always sucks. but i hope you get better soon and back to riding fast and furious (or take it slow :) ❤️)

[@TheBridie93]

Sophie you should be so proud of yourself! Getting on Finn and doing the warm-up by yourself! You're amazing and riding so well!

[@avamae6371]

I really don’t think it’s Finn, I think Sophie gets nervous right at the jump, and Finn is like “What do I do, stop? Ok.” So he stops. But Sophie has progressed so nicely, so proud of her!

[@AvaClearwood]

Laura to Storm: “Hey don’t idiot me!” That was hilarious🤣

And me two

[@cliodhnamurray6707]

Hahaha

[@claired.7308]

Omg same

[@erinlundy3303]

I think storm is getting better because He is jealous cause of Chino and is trying to show gabby that he is better

[@nanawhitee]

Yeah I don’t think that’s what happened 😂 gabby is now a much better rider and now knows how to get him going

[@sharroon7574]

The farrier and Fiona have figured out what Storm needs and of course Gabby is getting better.

[@StormGSD]

Storm had an amazing warm up over fences!! Go get them stormy!

[@Grace-bx8cf]

Horses are so strange sometimes! Several of our horses refused over the plain jumps in the warm-up ring, but jumped the scary 3-foot wide and tall ones no problem.

[@hootowlholler3760]

That's funny. Maybe they were saving energy for the big jump.😉

[@astridsnowbridge7556]

agreed!

[@cutefroggydabest5400]

Sophie’s jump at 14:46 was absolutely amazing she’s come so far and you can tell she did so well handling Finn!! Also storm has changed so much!!

[@sallybuckley66]

At 00:54 mollys stance was amazing she’s really starting to look like a border collie

[@sandyc6569]

👍

[@Grace-bx8cf]

I had a horse show yesterday too! My horse bucked and bolted through several of our rounds, so we only placed 2nd and 3 4ths.

[@eilidhmaysimmons3821]

You'll probably never see this but after 16 years of continuous begging my parents have decided that next summer I'm allowed to start looking for a horse! I'm so incredibly excited, my horse will get to come to college with me and its my dream to be able to go to a proper show one day as I've only ever done riding school shows. By the way, it's really cool to see Sophie doing cross rails, I remember the first show when Gabby lost her confidence and did flat instead. There was a massive storm and we all said that Storm had brought the storm! The girls have both come so far, but especially Sophie. She practically shines as a rider and she rides Finn so so well ❤️

[@DayByDayVlogs]

Awe yay! Thats incredible!

[@sade.k2909]

Lol😂 the part when you said "I have actually never seen Gabby beat anything before too. Even tho she acts like..." Gabbys look when you said it😂😂😂

[@barrelracerjess3854]

Hello, DayByDay Vlogs It finally here the Horse Show Vlog. Molly is so cute. Gabby and Sophie did so good and looked like they had lots of fun. I have been waiting all day for this. Tip use vet wrap on your horse socks after you was them and they will stay clean. Also when washing your horse socks put them in a bucket with soaping water and it works like a miracle I do it when competing on my horse. Love your video. I love watching all your videos. I have been here since the beginning. Can't wait for tomorrow's vlog. It is 5:41pm here in Qld Australia.

[@bri1234]

Sophie was such a trooper! Good job getting silly Finn over the jump👏! I CANNOT wait for the other show videos😆! I missed them☹️!

[@lottiemannion3921]

Yes!! I’m on holiday and the WiFi’s terrible but I managed to get a bit just enough to watch you guys!!!

[@paigemabes_]

I can’t believe they are doing it while carona is going around but the girls did amazing!

[@DayByDayVlogs]

We are having our lowest numbers ever and are on stage 3 lockdoen now. We are allowed 100 people outside!

I’m in the States and some shows are not happening but some are! We were at one yesterday! It was So hot 🥵

[@katelyn6604]

I am reading the title and it does not sound like it is going well I hope you still have confidence sophie Love you guys

[@allaboutme787]

5 AM and we are in trouble!!!!!!! I was screaming my head of to that song!!! I love you guys!!!

[@asunafan3338]

the song at the beginning: “five a.m. and we are in trouble.” my brain: is it five a.m. there?

[@Lgx.23]

Lura: Giving a peep talk : Sofia : HI BABY

[@emilym3139]

You guys had a nice set up there under the shade , looked cozy. I’m impressed how well Sophie handled Finn when he kept refusing the jump, she did great and so did Finn and I’m excited to watch the riding videos tonight I’m dying to see how well Storm did , I have a feeling he was amazing

[@sarahg5122]

I am so happy for Sophie! She did so good. I can’t wait to see Gabby ride tomorrow. I wish I could show right now.

“Chino, everyone thought our yard was for hunting...” “...oh 👁👄👁” “yeah🙃”

[@tarynkahl806]

Omg “it’s 5 am and we’re are in trouble” that’s the iconic day by day horse show song! Lol 😂

[@horsegirl07]

Horses can feel our nerves. Finn was likely feeding off Sophia and that’s ok! That’s when Sophia really has to breathe and put on her game face. Be brave for Finn 😊

[@maggietang4847]

finn and stormy change into a super power horse! ready go show!!! hope daybyday won!!!! daybyday show time yay!!!! love your daybyday!

[@Hannah-fp3vs]

Maggie Tang that’s chino now storm

[@tierneygannon2211]

Wow go girls! Sophie being brave and going over the cross rail even when Finn said no that’s hard and you did it! And gabby getting on storm and jumping verticles even when before he was bucking and kicking! I’m so proud of you both!

[@marialynnporter1]

Laura, I agree. Storm isn't uncomfortable so he is feeling great but Gabby is riding Storm different and that will make a huge difference as well. I think it's a mixture of both.

[@DayByDayVlogs]

I do too!

[@maddie_equestrian655]

Sophie is doing so well and such a brave girl!! I know it's hard but I had my first ever show on my new horse today and I had refusals but I basically took it as training so I'm not stressed or disappointed if anything bad happens but they are both doing so well! ❤️

[@itsjustanotherequestrain8356]

Hello! I am not a horse expert but I am Experienced I would recommend new hay holders! Since you can not reach a lot in those but the best is the rope ones with holes all around it now if your horse catches it self on ropes I wouldn’t get it but if it dosent it will allow them to eat more! Now you don’t have to but I am just experienced so I recommend it!!

[@aleiraalmaguer4557]

i think that the reason why storm was great was because stella came down from the sky and was tell him and finn to stop messing around a listen to gabby and sofie. ( Btw rest in peice stella and cookie you both are very missed)

[@TheBridie93]

Amazing job guys! Just a quick note, I noticed that Finn's numnah/saddle pad was slightly too small for his saddle. The edge of the pad can cause pressure points if it doesn't clear the back panels of your beautiful saddle!

[@lillaryequestrian4317]

Aww in the corner of my eye while Sophie was warming up I thought that paint horse was Stella I miss her!💗

[@DayByDayVlogs]

That paint horse really reminded me of stella

[@angelaequestrian7465]

DayByDay Vlogs did storm get bruises or chino?????

[@lmp8932]

'Finns too quiet' - after 'warming' up with that weight on his back he's probably exhausted already.

[@noralampe5010]

Every time I watch your videos I want a horse more and more

[@walking_in_space23]

Aww,the horses looked beautiful with plaited manes,the girls handled the horses so well :)

[@oliviaklara625]

GREAT JOB!!! I hope the girl who got hurt is ok!!

[@darcimuir2685]

You guys are so incredible 🥰 I’ve been having a tough time lately , I got my first pony at the start of February this year and I love him so much! But I’ve been having lots of troubles with confidence and believing in myself I’ve had lots of tears because I get so frustrated at myself that I am too scared to jump the jump I jumped two months ago or just I can’t do things I used to do. I was on a real high until my pony bucked me of and my confidence just kept chipping away. It’s also been so hard because it’s winter here where I live and with school I can’t ride bc it gets to dark to quickly or the weathers awful but not riding a lot is’s easy to lose confidence. All in all I’m struggling quite a bit and watching Sophie doing so incredible and being so brave has really inspired me and i can’t Waite for spring so I can ride more and face all my fears! (I’m very similar to Sophie with fear sometimes) ❤️🧡💛

[@DayByDayVlogs]

That will do it for sure! Even a new horse can change things up a ton! Once you get bucked off once you learn pretty quickly to pull your horses head up before it can do it again. Prayers!

[@hootowlholler3760]

Aww.. the girls look so cute. Finn & Storm be looking so handsome. Except for braiding & y'all know I rode western; so I just don't get the hair braiding thing. LOL so no hate. See you guys tonight!

I love you guys and how everyone is growing every day . I love that you post your journey everyday!! ❤️❤️You guys help me be braver and much more!!!

[@nanawhitee]

I think the reason that storm is like this now is what you said about his feet and stuff. But also it’s because gabby learned how to ride him. For me personally I really learnt how to ride my horse like 2 years later that I got him. I think Chino really taught her how to ride better and she got better and implemented that into storm! That’s what I think haha. Love you guys💕💕

[@DayByDayVlogs]

I think ao too

[@imaginehorses8341]

I noticed Storms coat is not looking very dark and shiny and is quite dull and bleached, I would look at his levels of zinc and copper and increase them as this is what makes black/dark bay horse get a darker coat

[@DayByDayVlogs]

He gets lots in his vitamin feed! He is sun bleached from.being outside. He is actually really soft and still shiny!

[@sparcalls]

Let me just say Fin and Sofie and my fav combo. I love them together ❤️❤️

[@katelin3875]

Just got my first horse and trailer, and started showing him it's never been better!

[@e.s.eventing6268]

Hi! I’m in no way meaning any hate in this!!! Sophie seems nervous, which everyone gets. I think Sophie needs a little bit more experience with jumping before doing a show. 😊 Also, just a tip here, when you approach a jump try looking up, and keeping your leg on is very important too. I know it’s hard but try not to feel nervous, your horse can sense it too, and will worry why you are nervous which will make him/her nervous. Also make sure to pat your horse when he goes over the jump, just to reassure him/her. Of course no hate intended just some little tips! Xx

[@juliabenzing1085]

“Hopefully none of our horses get shot like my dream” :))

[@charlottegreen9581]

I bet you’re glad that you brought that emergency bailer twine with you so that you could tie Finn up to the tree 😉. Loved the video! The girls and the horses look so amazing!

[@valleyranchstables4794]

We never saw him buck nor rear and if you just stay calm then the horse will go off your energy also we never saw the actual show like what the heck?!?!

[@steelrosesarmy9998]

whenever i was sophie’s age, i was like her and everyone around me telling to move forward, i started to move forward and then my pony started refusing jumps, turns out she wanted to test me and she was being lazy everyone told me to use a crop but i never used it until one day i started to use it, i would suggest sophie uses a crop. crops arnt harsh it depends what way you use it tho: it’s not harsh by just tapping and encouraging them but if you smack them that’s harsh

[@DayByDayVlogs]

Finn is forward though. We don't want him going more forward.

[@n.hoerlein7154]

@DayByDay Vlogs you can use a crop on forward rides without making them go fast it just depends on how you use it.

Fin, to me did not look like he was scared of the cross rail. It looked like Sophie did not have enough leg on. But this is just my opinion
