EVENT VLOG - a very busy day at Sapey Horse Trials including full course walk insight

[@harrietoram293]

You are such a super talented rider and it doesnt go unnoticed by anyone just how much love you have for your horses and how u always put them first no matter what. I have so much admiration and respect for you as do many others ❤

[@ELSEventing]

Thank you ♥️

[@annejarvis7002]

Well said❤

[@marneymcgovern4285]

You do so well with your horses and it truly shows!! I love how you explain what’s going on and when things don’t go as well you explain that as well! Nice job!!!!

[@annejarvis7002]

Another fabulous vlog, Evie. Congratulations for both horses. They are both stunning. Maggie is a superstar 🎉 Donut is doing brilliantly - what a jump he has!!! I loved the way Donut jumped the cross-country, even when he's unsure - was it the 'bird's nest' skinny? He looked at it as he jumped it, bless him. He so wants to please, even when he gets a bit 'giddy' in the showjumping with a "let me at them" attitude🤗. I love watching your journey with your horses. Thank you so much for sharing & all that involves. Best wishes to you, your precious Mum & your 4-legged family ❤

I finally got around to watching this video and I was laughing during Donuts show jumping during your voiceover as I could totally see what you were talking about! He’s such a fine boy! 💙 Love them both 😊💕 Great job!

[@ELSEventing]

Haha, he just gets so keen to get to a fence! thank you 🫶

[@CarolStJohn-ev9ry]

Nice vlog... All about the horses 🐎🐎❤

[@ELSEventing]

They are the stars 🌟 ♥️

[@emmarichardson7322]

Fabulous result, Evie. I do like how much that you put your horse's welfare first. I am sure you will be rewarded for that in the future too

[@ELSEventing]

They are my pride and joy ♥️

[@TheRipplesong]

Well done Evie ! Looks quite hard to manage two horses like that ! You are dong great and its fantastic seeing you working on mindset throughout your journey while always putting your horses first :)

[@ELSEventing]

It is a lot of work doing 2 in a day. I take my hat off to riders (and their grooms) who do 5 in a day!

[@nikkicook4993]

Lovely eventing vlog Evie! I'm impressed my footage was good enough for you to use! lol Both horses looking really well and am so glad Maggie is getting back to her normal self🥰

[@ELSEventing]

Lovely to meet you and thank you so much for the videos! 🥰♥️

Always horses first ♥️♥️

[@izzyr3231]

3:30AM is definitely night time, even in the dead of summer I think it would be pretty dark!

[@ELSEventing]

Crazy time to be awake & outside!

[@magzdor]

So glad to see Maggie back to her happy self and what a lovely test she did. Congrats on second place but she will always be first in my eyes just love her ❤. Donut what a guy. He is looking fantastic and I thought he did a really nice test too. A wee bit exuberant in the showjumping as he was keen to get to those jumps but he is so capable at that level and a lovely cross country again which is such a confidence booster for you 😊 you are so caring and hard working and love your vlogs. ❤🥰

[@ELSEventing]

Thank you so much ♥️

[@hannesofie6071]

[@LindsayWoodward-ud1lv]

Love your vlogs and really enjoyed your course walk and the rationale behind your lines etc. How do you keep the white boots so white?! I need a set of boots for my chestnut and had been debating what colour but never thought of white. Looks so striking!

[@ELSEventing]

We love the white on the chestnuts! I wish more brands did white xc boots. Donut’s boots are new this year but Maggie’s must be about 7 years old, I literally just put them through the washing machine! I think the outer material is quite waterproof so they stay white fairly easily x

[@LindsayWoodward-ud1lv]

@@ELSEventing are they premier equine?

[@ELSEventing]

@@LindsayWoodward-ud1lv yes ☺️

[@kippen64]

It looked steep, even in the video. An interesting use of topography for sure.

[@ELSEventing]

I was shocked how steep it was! On a par with Burghley’s capabilities cutting slopes 😳

[@oldageisdumb]

I run an animal rescue. The dog deep breaths can be a lot of things but they do call it “reverse sneezing”. If he’s doing it every once in a while I wouldn’t worry about it but if he all of a sudden started doing it a lot he might have caught kennel cough which is basically a bad doggy cold.

[@ELSEventing]

Oh amazing thank you! He does it very occasionally so sounds like the reverse sneezing but I will keep an eye on him ♥️

[@oldageisdumb]

@@ELSEventingI think a lot of dogs do that now and then

[@kellybiddulph421]

@@ELSEventing my dog started doing it suddenly in the backseat of the car while we were driving one day, so we went round the corner straight to the vet LOL and he said the same thing ,it’s like a reverse sneeze . He also gave me a tip, that if it doesn’t go away and if the dog looks a little bit distressed you can put your hands around the dogs nose, like cup your hands around his nose and gently blow into his nostrils like a short sharp blow and it sort of shocks the larynx ,you don’t put your lips on his nose, just blow like you would blow out a candle . Same as when someone giving you a fright when you’ve got the hiccups.

[@ELSEventing]

@@kellybiddulph421 oh that is so helpful thank you! ❤️

[@EquineFun]

Great vlog as always. Love watching your videos. I don't envy you getting up at stupid oclock, needs must :)

[@word20]

It looked like Maggie was relaxed and riding forward and smooth in the show jump. Both were doing well this day. Do you know abuot equireel? You can get video when you are jumping all the fences in cross country and you can yourself see how you jump in the cross country and you could add this to the vlog

[@ELSEventing]

Yes I buy them sometimes but can’t afford to get them every time I compete x

[@Siobhan_Shivaun]

Poor Donut with the fly bothering him, I wonder if they'd have given you a penalty for swatting it off him? Both Maggie and Donut were looking fantastic!

[@ELSEventing]

I was sat wondering the same as we trotted down the centre line! Issue was I had knocked it off of him a few times before the bell went and it was very persistent!! 🫣🤣🪰

[@Siobhan_Shivaun]

@@ELSEventing I'd a sudden recollection of watching someone's vlog where she stopped and asked the judge if it was okay to do something (can't remember what) and she was allowed to. Or maybe the judge stopped her and said she could sort out whatever the problem was...?

[@ashleighsavoury1204]

Lean back and pray 😂😂

[@Jazzthingss]

How long does it take you roughly too walk a course I'd like too do a one day event with my ex racer but obviously i don't want time too get away from me 😊❤

[@ELSEventing]

I leave an hour to walk if I am on foot and if I am on the bike I can do one course in 20-30 minutes easily. If you’re planning timings for your first event, plan an extra 30 minutes leeway - that way if you can’t find something at the venue or get stuck in traffic or have trouble getting studs in etc, you’ve got extra time. And if nothing goes wrong, you have some chill time! X

[@Jazzthingss]

@@ELSEventing thank you so much x
