My 28 year old loved doing dressage tests, ask him for anything fancy and he put his heart into it to the end, they sure do love to dance with us. Gotta cherish these moments with the olds

[@NoThankUBeQuiet]

Mine loves being a field rat but she's never loved being ridden the way some do. We ride sometimes but no more collection ect. Bur damn if her lateral work isn't the best way to teach kids

My boy is 21, I have had him for 16 years, he still loves his outings! Blessed I still get to ride and enjoy him, hope for many more riding years to come.

I loved seeing both mares out and about! Sorry Addie, you were fabulous… But Spritey was the best to watch! She was so proud to carry you around Emily! Cheers to you for producing such wonderful mares. Love from California⛰️🌲☀️💙 Give your girls a hug for me

[@alim6588]

Got teary watching you and Spritey do your xc 🥹 She reminds me SO much of my little ginger pocket rocket who I thought I would be riding til he was 30 but unfortunately I lost him this year at 22. Enjoy every moment with your beautiful golden oldie, you are so lucky to be able to still be making such wonderful memories with her ❤️

[@bethany6148]

I actually felt a bit emotional watching Sprite having such a lovely time out there; I've had my boy 15 years and he'll he 20 next year and it suddenly seems to have dawned on me the last year that he isn't going to go on forever so seeing you and Sprite still having fun together really made me smile. She's a super mare. Good luck for Bicton! X

[@hceventing]

Love watching Sprite go round! She looks like she's not ready to retire any time soon

[@Katherinekirbydressage]

Addie’s round looked super! 🙌🏻and it’s so lovely to see you and Sprite out together enjoying one another ❤

[@trudiclark7841]

Bless spritey, what a little superstar,so lovely to see her still going strong well done to you for understanding her so well and always putting her first. Addi is going so well too ❤ them both x

[@Lilee177]

Miss Spritey absolutely loving that cross country course has put a giant smile on MY face. Yes she is an older lady but she's clearly very fit and healthy and you'd obviously never do anything to hurt Spritey. I bet she's still buzzing from her fun outing.

[@reneowens2768]

So glad you took out Spritey for some fun. If they like it they miss it when they retire. Well done.

[@Cecilia_equi]

Great decision to go with Spritey on a small cross country course. I think It keeps the older horse healthy, it's when you stop them that i find that they old quickly.

[@kerryspencer1975]

That was an unlucky pole. How lovely to see you and spritey having a wonderful memories party xx🐎🐎🇬🇧⚘

[@jeniferrinehart1107]

Awwwww. What a fun day out for Spritey! And great job with Addie’s show jumping. Looking forward to Bicton footage! (Bah to the time penalties!) 😜❤️❤️❤️

[@jennatregear4160]

Need that full series of every thing you filmed of her through the years still !! Waiting patiently and keenly ❤️

[@suedunn7531]

For a horse her age she looks amazing and u can see she feels good she is a credit to u em ❤

[@MissJools11]

^feels

[@gemmagranger5354]

Your SJ round with Addie was amazing (despite the pole), you both looked amazing. I was getting teary 🥹 listening to your voice over about Spritey. I hope you get to do another one day ❤

[@piroshka2]

Loved seeing Spritey going - Let me show those youngsters how to do this!!!!!

[@biggothepiggo]

Spritey is the life of the party! It made me so happy to see her so happy and just loving life and her work! We know you would never overdo it with her and that you always put her best interests first. Plus, she so fit! All you have to do is look at her to know that she receives the best care there is. Lovely round with Addie too! She really is epic. Can't wait to watch the Bicton vlog. What a wonderful day!

[@lemmebeawinnerequestrian7555]

So wonderful to see Sprity out doing what she loves! Love that you got to take her. And Addie, wow she is doing so great! You have done a wonderful job with her Em! ❤❤

[@davemelrose5848]

Another great blog really enjoyed watching and Addie done amazing in the showjumping and then spritey bless her she done epic was lovely to see you both having fun.

[@juliabanes204]

Happy pup and happy ponies! Definitely made my day to see this, thank you for sharing! Looking forward to Bicton!

[@janetrodgers7051]

Aw bless her. I did have a little tear in my eyes. She melts my heart xx

[@Siobhan_Shivaun]

How lovely to see Spritey still giving it socks on the cross country! 💖💖💖💖

[@bertiekarama]

My oldies love doing stuff. Hadn’t ridden for about a month and both really enjoyed their leg stretch round the block. They love jumping too.

[@c_and_l]

I will admit I don't regularly watch your videos, but as soon as I saw Sprite going out, I had to. Horses that are used to being busy and showing definitely love having their minutes back in the spotlight. I think it's really good for their mental health to go when they safely can. I've been riding my boss's 26 yo retired FEI level dressage horse for the summer, and oh my word does he love getting in the white boards and working still.

[@amystravels]

Might have enjoyed you doing 60cm on Sprite more than any other vlog! I love that you did this just for fun, it’s what riding is all about. Sprite is a legend ♥️♥️♥️

[@absolutgemini24]

Loved seeing Spitey get her day out! Susie is so sweet and genuine, awe I hope she knows how special she is! You are very lucky to have her. Good luck at Bicton Emily! You and Addie have work very hard! You are building such a great partnership. Try not to put too much pressure on yourself! You have already come so far this season!

[@garypriestley9288]

So nice to see you back she's a horse to be cherished

[@lindapetrie5951]

Lovely to see Spritey out as well!

[@joannesmartens9442]

I was thinking sprite was retired, but she does marvelous on her 28👍

[@emily-ix5it]

Aww this was such a happy vlog, thanks Emily. Addie just looks incredible, she is like a powerhouse now 🤩 and Sprite looked so happy - and so well! Both are such a credit to you 🥰

[@ashleighsavoury1204]

You know your horse best, she’s going to love it, I can’t wait to watch!!! ❤❤

[@carolreising3463]

Watching you and Sprite inspired me to make a vet appointment to have my 19-year-old gelding's front ringbone x-rayed. He was diagnosed 3 years ago but has for the last nine months been so sound that we removed the corrective shoes and pads and pain meds. I have high hopes that joints have fused and he is now able to do a bit of low-level cross country. Fingers crossed, because I have so missed our outings. Thank you and Sprite so much for reminding us that it's not always too late!

[@iammadaboutdogs]

Don't get me wrong its lovely following your journey with Addie. But I've completely LOVED watching Spriety over the 60cm. There's just something about watching the old girl still out & about, that's so heart warming. Your giggle as you left the box had me in tears ❤

[@belindawatsham2520]

Absolutely love seeing sprite doing anything but today was a real treat love her so much and she was soooo happy xx

[@mgadkins1659]

You all did great.🎉

[@sharanratcliffe4242]

Great to see Sprite out and looking fabulous ❤

[@janl8683]

I agree with you on Addie's round, she looked nice and consistent. She is such a Beautiful girl. Ooooh and Spritey, what a star ❤. You know your horses and if they dont feel right, and you listen to them when they show you something is wrong, so why not let her do things she enjoys. She looked so good out on the course, her little ears were forward and look at her go. ❤

[@July25170]

So nice seeing Sprite out and about! 🥳🎉

[@yogaforequestriansyfe3435]

Oh gosh I just love Sprite so much 🥺 I miss my old pony so much, so I love seeing you still enjoying yours and her enjoying life! Xx

[@julen2380]

When you said you were sure Spritey was also going to be sensible xc, I actually laughed. Loveley to see the two of you still having fun! And Addie has defintely grown. She looks amazing.

[@diannegirvan6966]

Loved seeing Spritey enjoying her big day out. What a little superstar! Beautiful round from Addie, she is ready for Bicton. Great vlog Em ❤

[@pattilynch922]

Loved the video! Susie was wonderful!

[@klm1677]

Loved this vlog, so nice to see more Spritey content. You know her best and it looked like she had such a blast out there! I bet she loved it. Do you mind sharing what your long coat is please, it looks so toasty?! 😊

[@lynncooper1155]

Tears in my eyes how beautiful for you to let her have one last time around the XC course 🥹🥹🥹

[@kippen64]

I just thought that you were enjoying married life. It's nice to see you and your horses again. Fingers crossed that your hard drive coughs up your photos. Maybe save stuff to the cloud? I started doing this after losing stuff too.

[@lisajames4150]

Love her❤❤

[@law7897]

Well done Emily, Addie and Sprite. It was lovely to see you out with both ponies. I’m sure Spritey loved her day out. Good luck at Bicton, I look forward to seeing your vlog. I love watching your stay aways. Thanks Em xxx

[@charlottemann1660]

I love how excited you are for taking sprite out Xc 💕 so lovely to see her out enjoying herself still x

[@chrisdouglass7962]

❤ Spritey 😊🥰

[@dimac9085]

If she’s sound and happy, why the heck not! Making an old lady ponpon happy isn’t a bad thing!

[@valeriefergusson269]

Lovely to see Sprite enjoying her outing well done xx

[@ShaneGilbert-cx4th]

Hi all that was brilliant confidence boost, AND all the best for next show. And take care ,hope YOU all have a good time.

[@staceyross5471]

Oh wow such a lovely vlog. Addie us looking stunning and sprite well what can I say.shes such a sweetie love her so much,she really does pit her whole heart into it. You have such a beautiful partnership ❤xxx

[@samanthawright7098]

Smiles watching Spritey!!

[@TheJumpingGymnast]

I’m not sure if you know but you can edit the video capture quality in settings. If you open the camera without unlocking the phone, it’ll record with a standard quality. If the phone is unlocked and then you go onto the camera to film it’ll be the quality you select❤

[@sparkle.-buggg3610]

Why anyone would have anything negative to say about you and sprite when you love her so much shes amazing for her age ❤

[@debbiewhite8981]

Thanks for great vlog.your horses are a credit to you

[@sues7589]

I love your horse and she is so talented.

[@christinedavies336]

Another fun filled day with BOTH of your girls Emily. Suzie is lovely - she will be fine at Bicton on Saturday. xOx

[@plaasmeisie55]

Can Addy go in a bitless bridle ? I change things a bit up so one week I ride with a snaffle then I change to bitless. Love your videos ❤

[@sparkle.-buggg3610]

Wow she's special the gorgeous partnership you have i ❤ it

[@rubydawson2032]

I 100% agree with u with sprite I have got a lil 12.2 ginger 26 yro mare and just to keep her happy I jump her tiny tiny every now and the as she absolutely loves it!! She mainly does mounted games though Bcs she’s so small 🤣

[@rubydawson2032]

She does love going crazy though when she wants to be she’s a sass queen 🤣

[@devils.advocate2354]

Love Suzie… betting she’s more nervous for Bicton than Em/Addie 😅 relax Suzie… you are amazing and appreciated. Best of luck 🤞

[@angemoorhead5496]

That’s a Trust inno-sense port mouth bit - I had one for my pony but sadly they don’t come any smaller than 5” so I switched to the Winderen you might look into these too they are lovely bits - good luck at Buxton looking forward to the vlog

[@angiep1019]

Aww Sprite😀 you should do some veteran showing with her 😊

[@chrisdouglass7962]

Paused at 11:07 to share that I've been comparing her size and shape to Banksy all along and in a recent vlog with him I thought it looked like she'd gotten a smidge taller than him (?) 🤔😏😊

[@QuarryBankStables]

Hi love your channel!!

[@Ridingforwardwithmaria]

Great vlog as usual, I think the sound on the phone was better 😊

[@sianbennett-rodgers]

No one's Sprite better than you. If you think she's up for it and capable then go for it. It's better for them to be out and busy if they're sound and enjoying life imo than sitting in a field getting stuff

[@lifeonthechestnut]

So weird seeing my trailer 😅

[@joannesmartens9442]

How you know when she loves it? And what means working, before cocker spaniel?🤔

[@kristingreene8316]

I thought the round looked clear!

[@hannahmcilveen]

Anyone know what that bit is called that Addie was wearing in the old picture?

[@devils.advocate2354]

32:15 did mom ever watch/hear/find out? I was two lovely ladies enjoying a stroll 😁 Sprites day out 👏👏 enjoy those moments while you have them… she got her proper voice over 🧡 Addies course… agree most consistent rhythm. It was a lovely course. Of course she looks bigger… filling out in the muscle department… she’s just getting started 😉 imagine what that hind end and shoulders will look like when she can leg yield, shoulders in, enough muscle and agility to do smooth flying changes 🤩 ever thought of trying a full cheek snaffle on her? Nala in the water 💦 😊

[@heidilongthorp6392]

Aw how old is sprite now? X

[@donnastarpaw]

How Old is Sprite? You kept saying she’s older but never said how old she is

[@hethacopland3713]

She's 28, amazing
