DIY Cross Country Jump Challenge

[@Camilleeq00]

This is definitely one of the best challenges I’ve seen. I LOVE turning random spooky things into jumps😂

[@CarmellaAbel]

Thanks! Me too!

[@suzibee9796]

I love it that Tucker exceeded your expectations. It proves out that all of your training with him has really paid off. He's not so spooky anymore. Well done! 💕🐴💕

[@CarmellaAbel]

Thank you! He’s much more confident when I ride confidently!

[@redemissarium]

@@CarmellaAbelhi do video of this: how to use horse as daily transport? what preparation necessary? if I go to place like walmart or carrefour how should and where I should park the horse? 😶

[@BayBarrelsOffical]

@@redemissarium You cannot and should not use your horse as daily transport. It is even illegal in some places. Its unsafe for the horse and you, it's not an option.

[@redemissarium]

@@BayBarrelsOffical my house is my office and normally I never goes further than 2-3 kms each day so it is safe for me and the horse 😁

[@BayBarrelsOffical]

@@redemissarium I agree, but I dont reccomend "parking" your horse.. People have done some real shady things to horses :(

[@angelahope5974]

I have to say too that your husband is a great sport to do this stuff with you. What a great guy!!

[@CarmellaAbel]

He is a great guy!!

[@auntieliz930]

This was a really fun video. It’s great seeing the two of you having fun with Tucker. Tucker is such a good pony. 🥰

[@CarmellaAbel]

He is ❤️

[@staceyarbelo4255]

This was cute and I bet you still helped pick up the jumps.

[@CarmellaAbel]

😂 yes, I did! It had taken us about 2 hrs to set up 😅

[@HanaTheRussell]

I love it! This video 100% exemplifies what you mentioned in previous videos -- that if the rider is nervous the horse is nervous. You were nervous about the first jumps and Tucker could tell and stopped. As soon as you realized you need to look past the jumps and show confidence, Tucker made every single jump. Nice work showing your teachings in action.

[@abigailjohnson314]

I love how this shows how much our attitudes and expectations affect our horses’ confidence and performance.

[@marijavelickovic8740]

You are all winners in this one! Such a cool challenge!

[@ColleenGraceonline]

This was so fun! You two together was a treat to see ( adorable 🤗 )Tucker is a Champ!

[@amystaff9880]

Such a cute fun couple… and Tucker too!

[@Lurloveshorses]

I loved this video as well , great job Carmella and Tucker 👏

[@cozy_kelpie]

Hearing you tell yourself to keep your head up is very validating. Great jumping, fun video!

[@IAmJustJunco]

This is a great challenge!! You guys nailed it!

[@theultimatewolfpack146]

Tucker is soooo cuteeee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 🐴🥰

[@longorialing]

Love the video. This is a good challenge for some of my friends. Also there is something about Tucker that is so cute and pleasing to my brain

[@abdulqaadir6510]

You guys deserve wayyyyyy more subscribers. Very happy for you guys, living the best life!

[@KingsMom831]

Tucker is the best pony ever!! 😊 Husbands not too bad either, he’s a good sport & I for one, especially appreciate him filming these antics!

[@momtaylor3169]

yassss we need more. oh wow look at that FENCEPOST

[@karimu_aoi7620]

I love the fact that you guys respected tucker and let him see the jumps beforehand and start small. Great job guys!

[@Freja_eq77]

Tucker is such a good boy!! You can tell your husband loves Tucker🤣

[@annejohnson6940]

Realizing you have dinosaurs on your sweater lol. Coolest Christmas sweater I've seen 😁

[@ihorses9780]

This was very funny and creative video tucker did so good 😁

[@KanitaSaiti]

Only 2 refusals he did really good for a spooky horse!😊😊😊😊

[@joannesmartens9442]

Tucket was fantastic, well done. When i saw him refuse your own obstacles i tought you should lose, but then, wawww.👍

[@donovanmedieval]

Love the dinosaurs and Christmas trees.

[@ThatEquine]

And that’s what i call diy💀 tucker is so amazing and i can see that you worked super hard on him, keep it up!❤

[@lesliejacobs3002]

You were concentrating on looking up ( as you said) and RIDING. Great job.!

[@gwennnnnnn]

ooo! this is such a good challenge! 😆

[@evko6466]

I really thought tucker would spook at the Christmas tree, but he didn't! good boy :D

[@donnaschofield6947]

This was super cute. Love how you guys can joke together and have fun. Tucker did a great job with the jumps!

[@Steven_Grey_]

This is the best video I watched today, best challenge.

[@salinabeachy6379]

This is such a good idea this was really fun to watch

[@CarmellaAbel]

Glad you liked it!

[@nataleerobinson569]

Hahah, love this idea, and goes to show you that the equestrians will always win😂Great video!!

[@justinsorrell2565]

That was awesome! You nailed it! Definitely want to see more!

[@kathleenp.7990]

Tucker did amazing! 😍

[@AniruddhaR]

I love Tucker and Yoshi because they are very cute and I love how they eat ❤

[@EquineMetalhead]

You and your husband's relationship is so cute. You guys are a very cute couple. And Tucker did an amazing job. I think he would make a great cross country horse and the flashiest because not enough appaloosas do cross country. But yeah, Tucker did a great job and he proved Collin wrong. He's a good horse ❤

[@EquineEmpireOfficial]

Haha I died of laughing on this one I love this video you gotta include Colin more 😂 def one of my fav vids from u ❤

[@batashyplays4606]

This was amazing and funny hope to see more of this plsss

[@ferdferd3568]

Great video. Fun and entertaining.

[@moonequestrian9670]

He’s gotten so much better at learning about what he is doing! I have an idea. Try to jump him over more spooky things and see if it makes another big difference!

[@WebOfTwilight]

Yay! I'm so glad you won! I was rooting for Tucker the entire time. Your husband is such a good sport. I would love to see more videos like this!

[@skyh2385]

this was such a fun video to watch!!

[@TheArmoryliftforlife]

Nice job Tucker, really thought he was not going to do them all. Great vid!!

[@Urlocalhorse]

The fact that her husband wants Tucker to get scared at the jump😂😂😂😅😅

[@theequestriandreamer2020]

This was so cool! We need more challenges and videos with Collin 🤣

[@livyhorses3267]

This is probably one of my favorite videos that you have made it was so fun to watch and tucker and you did so good over those jumps!!! I would love to see more like this ❤

[@CarmellaAbel]

Thank you for your support! We will plan more of these!

[@livyhorses3267]

@@CarmellaAbel ofc!! I’m so excited

[@DazlinCaslin]

Good boy, tuck!! ::treats from California::

[@aniankad1665]

Super job, all 3 of you

[@Elysiumexplorer]

Tucker is actually so brave, he really trusts you 😄

[@kyaallaire417]

Love this video. Collin is funny he should be in more vids

[@lauratoll1295]

This was so much fun! Your husband was wonderfully creative with his jumps! It was interesting to see that once you corrected your riding and started looking where you wanted to go, Tucker followed you! Thank you! My coach has been telling me how important it is, but now that I can see how important it is, I’ll put more effort into my riding. Thanks, Carmela! ❤️

[@joannokane8533]

Love seeing Tucker pull through!😍😘

[@lynnm.kleingardner8640]

You did a great job with this video! I love your transparency with your feelings/fears!

[@maremamaest.2023]

my fav video of yours!

[@CarmellaAbel]

Thank you!

[@katiehedin5126]

I loved this video! And I wonder if tucker didn’t jump those things in the beginning was because you were looking down, (which I’m totally guilty of too) overall LOVED THIS CONTENT!!!! Tucker is such a good pony 😍

[@CarmellaAbel]

I think that was definitely it 😂 Because as soon as I started looking up he went over everything else!

[@lesliep5142]

Very fun video! And I love the t-shirt!

[@GospelTestimony]

i looove it. so fun. definetly do more challenges like this for sure

[@mudusathehognose2905]

I love this so much 🤣

[@elliegroarke820]

I ♥ you and Tucker

[@thesuppeskids]

This is such a funny video! thanks for making this, and I'd love to see more challenges like this one! Tucker did so good, even he was nervous. I have a question for you, Carmella (Or anyone else who can help) I just got my first horse in November, a 19 year old 14.2 hand Halflinger who was a cart horse. I haven't been able to work with her too much as it's pretty much been a winter wonderland here. I am an English and Western rider, and so about a month ago I thought I'd set up a Western trail course just for the fun of it. Anyways, I got her to go through the serpentine both at a walk and trot, and when I got to the poles, after much patience and trying again and again I got her to walk over them. After she got comfortable doing that I tried trotting her over them. She'd trot to them but stop and walk or shy away, as soon as she got to them. I decided to make it less scary by only going over one pole. but the same thing happened. What should I do? Is there a certain way to teach a horse to trot over poles, or even jump for that matter? Please let me know what your thoughts are on this matter Maizey

[@elsie6464]

Hi Maizey, im not an expert on the topic or anything but have you tried leading her over the poles or a single pole in hand?? she might just need to go over one a couple of times to realise its okay. try rewarding her with scratches or her favourite treats if/when she goes near them and over them too! hope this helps :)

[@thesuppeskids]

@@elsie6464 Thank you. I will definitely try that when the snow melts. ☺ Maizey

[@misslaa6785]

What a fun idea !! I would love to try this game with my family at home sometime ☺️

[@debibaker2640]

LOVE this!!!!!!

[@haydenlee_02]

[@fauria209]

Carmella is always down to get messy - she's just the best sport whenever there's anything messy involved!

[@pattijosloss6302]

What a great sport, Colin!! Hope you got all that cleaned up before supper time?

[@popfam4824]

Could you try to make a video of the correct foot placement, I’m having trouble getting it right.
