›› Big thank you to Lauren (@laurenallport) for having me over and to Chiara (@ichiarambaeq) for letting me jump your amazing horses. This wasn't the best vlog for chatting as honestly we were having a lot of fun and kept forgetting to vlog, but lots of riding content instead!

Thanks for riding my two babies for me! It’s so nice to see someone else take the reins for once 🥰

[@anamariauzdavinis6868]

what is the brand of the breeches you’re wearing

[@why_cant_i5867]

could we see Lauren try him out too

[@iChiaramba]

@@why_cant_i5867 take a look at her Instagram 👀

[@thepricklehorses]

Love the name ichiarumba my mum says that a lot

[@jenniferlehman326]

The mare, Momo, was beauty in motion to watch jump, Chiarra's GP Horse though, WOW!! He had springs coiled up in his legs!! He literally, even in just the trot, you could tell he was going to be one of those horses that would be super careful, and be upset a bit at himself if he rattled a pole!! Because the two times he did, and you brought him back down that grid line, he DIDN'T TOUCH A POLE AGAIN Holly!! He's stunningly well put together as well. Chiara can be proud of this boy for sure. I hope she owns him and isn't a ride that can be taken away from her. Because I think the two together would make an awesome team!! You may not know it from my name, but I do have Irish in me as well. My one great grandmother came from Cork!!

[@iChiaramba]

Thanks for the kind words on my horses! Don’t worry both are mine and will stay with me forever ❤️ Marti is so special, we’re just taking time in growing together!

[@jenniferlehman326]

@@iChiaramba Slow and steady always wins the race everytime!! That's how I take it with all the 4 yr olds I back. I'll back them one summer, and they have the winter off, then the following Spring, after foaling season, they come back for a tune up, with the owners and I alternately riding them. I'll give the horse the warm up, the owner a 1/2 hour lesson, then I'll get back on for a bit of flexion and lateral work at the walk and cool out. And they all get started in a rubber bit, that they have to carry themselves. No wrinkles at the sides of their mouth at all. The horses become so light to the slightest movement of rein, because you are using more your body and legs before hands in asking for any downward transition or even an upward on. That when they go to a D-Ring Sweet Snaffle, you hardly ever have to use hands at all. Taking your time with him, sparing his legs and preserving that jump and willingness to take you there is the key to a great partnership. How old is Marti?

I love the vlogs like this one, where you travel to other youtubers' barns to ride their horses. It makes me so jealous and it really reinforces the concept of comradery in the community. It's not every sport where competitors train each other and sincerely wish them well. Lauren's horses are gorgeous and so talented, and I love her new place. Great video!

[@andystpierre6086]

Wow, that’s what you call flying change!! That’s a lot of power! Lauren’s facility is just breathtaking!

[@april5666]

WOW -- Chiara and Lauren have some beautiful and TALENTED horses there. That bay boy that you rode second Holly was amazing -- as someone else said, I thought, that horse has springs instead of legs. What a great experience for you Holly and you are such a good rider and so brave and bold too. I just loved watching and listening to these rides. Also, so nice to see comradery among horsewomen, beautiful horsewomen.

[@poisonapple6138]

I'm convinced Lauren lives on a different planet or in a different reality because she truly is living the dream 🤣 Momo is like a little fairy flying over the jumps and floating along while Marti is a rocking horse with a jetpack.

[@---td5fg]

I once dreamed to ride horses like that - then when I got my horse I realized I loved the powerful yet controllable side. I am no where near good enough to ride horses like that, nor do I have the confidence to. Super impressed

[@sherides9]

Nice to see the riding in the grid. Do you feel there's a big difference with these GP horses comparing to yours? Or in what way does it feel different? Curious to know..

[@erinoquindo3013]

It warms my heart to see a Filipino show jumper!!!

[@Patti-1962]

You are a fearless talent, Holly!! Loved this video!!

[@christinemartindale8715]

Wow beautiful jumping on your part Holly and those horses are beautiful and it was so nice to see you Lauren. Next time can we see your friend jumping too.tfs😎🏇😎

[@holly8668]

Beautiful horses, and very nice ride. I really enjoyed this video - it looks like a great trip!

[@lafemmefatal]

The last horses canter is wild! it looks so bouncy but like also pretty chill... which is mad.

[@stellap.680]

Oh my god Marti is a dream horse 😭😭😭

[@margiesmith8912]

Amazing! Looked like you were having a blast, and you made those big jumps look effortless!!

[@emilylawson5379]

Looking forward to this one Holly - thumbnail looks amazing x

[@aartox2978]

The way Marti prances after each jump is so cute. 🤭😭

[@Dsphorses]

I'm from Ireland and I went to France last month and its beautiful! Great video Holly

[@janisgriffith2919]

Gorgeous horses! Thank you for the vlog!!!

[@Tenebrisvis]

I have said it before but I'll say it again I adore Fernanda she has been a favorite of mine in Lauren's group since she's gotten her ♥️

[@xXFunkyFillyXx]

Amazing… you are such a brilliant rider to just be able to get on these horses and make them go like that! Wow!

[@fantellerhur]

Amazing riding Holly. 👏

[@LaurenAllport]

Until next time pal 🥰!!

[@saturninusarabian]

early!! I’m really looking forward to watch this!

[@lolaburns6232]

Wow you were flying, that yard looks amazing.

[@charlottehendriks6079]

I think Marti would be an amazing dressage horse too!!!! he's lovely!!

[@kathrynschaller8875]

I found your channel when you went to Lauren's out in Dubai those years ago! Then I found Meg when she came to your place.

[@sacredcow8653]

What i'd give to even meet a horse like Marti oh my god. His stride is so perfect

[@savannah_grace35]

The sorrel with the blaze and 4 white socks on my goodness gorgeous!!!!!

[@KMartha22]

Ahh what a treat that must have been!

[@melStephens1994]

That was a great video! Goodness me, that indoor is very echoey, it sounded huge. Couldn’t see the horses, jumping, of course, but they sounded brilliant. Loved the girl who was talking, and then all of a sudden decided she should be quiet. No, by all means, please keep talking! Great content.

[@veronicasmith1147]

Your a natural Holly good rides🥰💜💞💖

[@jeanetteoliver7945]

wow That was awesome you got to do that you did awesome and those horses were Beautiful

[@s4d4l0t6]

They’re so cute omg 🥹

[@seraphina-r5i]

gosh the last horse was so pretty😍😍

[@sixmercer2504]

Who was the grey at the beginning? I was just wondering why he/she was so behind the vertical and below the bit. Their nose was down almost between the knees for most of the ride. I'm NOT throwing shade at all!!!! I'm just curious because it seemed like that horse would be really hard to ride let alone jump since they were looking at the ground. The last two were incredible! It was like they were waiting for the REAL jumps to be set up. The last horse is so beautiful and I can see him on a cross country course (my favorite event ever)! He's really something!!!

[@horizon4414]

Can we just take a moment to look at that posture- the Heels, Arch, its beautiful-

[@shelleyzoe8254]

So do you train that gray horse to keep his head so low , is that something you want

[@Tenebrisvis]

Chiara's GP horse is for sure 100% one gorgeous horse.

[@leilawitherspoon503]

what breeds were all of the horses in this video ?

[@maureenprevin05]

how do you train a horse to stand without a halter on?

[@jeniferrinehart1107]

Damn girl! ❤️❤️❤️

[@Silver_Roses_offical]

New subbie love ❤️!

[@anonynoobyt3121]

Pause the video at 14:53 (when they’re turning after the jump). Trust me.

[@TheBlackburn1998]

I dont get it. Where should I pause and what should I see?

[@wendybergsma6116]

And then I’m here, afraid to jump low jumps. Well now I feel even more horrible at riding lol

[@amy....gmail....c0m]

8:05 why does she change leads like 50 times after the last jump??

[@holly.eq78]

She changed it once?

[@ava8d801]

I’m sorry, but THAT CAT… BRUH ITS A FRICKEN POOF BALL TOT Oh my god it’s a dog- but the white cat do be gorgeous too.

Hi Holly , Lauren rides in our VIP Equestrian saddle pads. Have a chat to her about them and if you like you can get our contact from her. Would be great to chat.

[@HollyLenahanSJ]

Hi, I actually have a VIP gel pad myself which I use on all my horses for a few years now so I’m already converted 😉

[@VIPEqTHud]

@@HollyLenahanSJ get Meg in them, especially the babies 👍

[@madisynmcclean2200]

Why haven’t you posted in awhile

[@MARSBELLA1]

You guys are experts but that grey mare has tight muscles in the back of her neck behind her ear and she doesnt know how to stretch them out - so you have to - start a nusle behind the ears and you will see x please film x

[@Shedevrishe]
