I told this to Tina too. When your horse makes it look so easy and you have to slow down so much, you and Addie are ready for 100! I loved her dressage and thought that 6.5 on walk was a bummer she deserved at least a 7 and maybe 7.5. She has grown up so much! She is ready to move up and I can see 2 * in her future! She’s the whole package!!

[@emdeventing]

Thank you! Also a firm believer of trusting your gut 🤞 just got to keep taking it each step at a time xx

[@NoThankUBeQuiet]

When did you do your judges training?

[@debbieredmon5063]

@@NoThankUBeQuiet Never took judges training but have ridden a lot of dressage tests and am entitled to my opinion. Just that…an opinion. Makes no difference what I think, but I thought it was a lovely walk.

[@JanetThorpe-uv2ev]

@@NoThankUBeQuiet um, that's rude! I happen to agree, that walk deserved better than a 6.5. I'm also not a dressage judge, but have competed lots. Horse people can understand what they're seeing.

[@janl8683]

Great result for you and Addie, and really interesting hearing Alicia and Cams thoughts on your dressage and showjumping. I would continue with your 90 on Addie next week and 100 on Banksy...then maybe do the next event at 100 with Addie when you only have to concentrate on 1 horse ❤ Well done xxx

[@RachOvGlyn]

Wow, Alicia is Savage! I love how Cam reins her in 😂 I thought it was an epic test, such an improvment well done guys!!

[@equestrianmelissaeventing]

Brilliant in all three phases! Well done. Addie really is growing up bless her.

[@dianehookham]

Omg!!!!! BLOODY awesome day!!! Well done congratulations to both of you, im so happy for you Em 🎉

[@margauxnodvin7478]

I am in the U.S., and I am SO jealous that you riders have so many hacking lanes and all the wide open fields available for “fun” rides! I own a boarding and training stable (don’t know if you all would call it a “yard” or “livery”) out in a pretty rural area of my state. I sort of did that on purpose- it was important to me to have a large enough property to have LOTS of pasture space for turning the horses out. However, even in this more rural area, we have nothing like you have. I hope you are able to keep all of those lovely hacking trails and the picturesque “fun ride” areas. Just had to pause to say that. Now I’m going to watch the rest of the video! (And possibly plan some sort of UK riding vacation❤)

[@I.A.K.88]

Same here! Some isolated areas do have trails and rights of way, like Hunterdon County, NJ but I think it's quite rare overall. Nothing like in the UK! So jealous!!!

[@hannesofie6071]

Banksy is still the more experienced horse...... But Addie is coming along beautifully!!! ❤❤❤ You have to follow your gut feeling!!! I'm just glad I get to watch both!!! Loved Cameron and Alicias comments!!!

[@emdeventing]

Should be for a fun filled day that’s for sure! Glad you enjoyed their voiceover, I very much did too! Xx

[@susangardner6348]

Absolutely love the commentary for dressage and show jumping. Great day. She is gorgeous.

[@bethany6148]

Wow she looks class! Once she nails the dressage she's going to be one to beat for sure, she really seems to have come out this year proper game on xx

[@ruthprior665]

In regards to next week, I would suggest Banksy at 100 as it will keep Tina's training going for them to return and stay at 100. And, yes, I agree with everyone that Addie and you are more than ready to step up to 100. I can also see you both ending up going 2* in the future. Addie is the perfect horse and you were so blessed when Fred had you in mind for her. So, hearty congratulations on coming 3rd and I can't wait to see more from your partnership in the future. 😊

[@sueguyan8101]

You have done so well with her, completely different from a year ago, really well done 👏 🎉

[@dioneburt-douglas4942]

I love that i learn so much while watching your fantastic vlogs. Thank you for letting us follow your epic journey with your very special girl.

[@Dollarraeeventing]

Aww well done! Alicia’s 4* mare is full sister to my boy so I loved that segment of your vlog!

[@evelynjellema9827]

Love the commentary!! So great to have all the expertise and tuition on your vlogs. Super well ridden for all phases, and good luck for the next one. I would personally do banksy in the 100 due to the experience he has and wanting to qualify. But you could easily do Addie too! Good luck

[@jjrides]

Looks great Em! I'd definitely do Addie in the 100, since we know Banks is fine either way, and he's going to keep fitness/outing mode activated, and its not a "proper" run competition wise for him, it doesn't really matter which one he does, aaand I know you know him, but riding horses that aren't your main one, is always harder mentally, so the easier elements of each phase will give you a break in that respect. Just my little Aussie opinion, either way, good luck!!

[@margauxnodvin7478]

I had the same thought as you! I would rather do the more difficult level on my own horse that I’ve ridden and competed and I’m used to how my horse goes. Riding a friend’s horse in a competition seems much scarier, so I’d want to compete him lower (of course, I’m not as bold as I used to be😅)

[@emialice3825]

Addie is looking great! You can see your partnership really starting to click 😊❤ feel like she’s maturing and she absoloutely loves her job! You guys will go strength to strength as she grows up ❤

[@laurenmclain6378]

You guys are doing better in so many ways, it's absolutely wonderful to see the improvements that have occurred!!! I can tell you've worked really hard to get to this point, and it's paid off in a major way for you guys. I see things getting better, and better from here as she matures, and you guys learn what works for you as a team. I'm seriously impressed, because it hasn't happened without a lot of dedication, time, and effort, Emily. You should be proud of you guys as a team, but even more so of yourself. Great Job!!!!! I would ride Banksy in the 100, and Addie in the 90. Banksy has experience, and Addie is learning. She has plenty of time to get there.

[@emdeventing]

Awww thank you so much! It’s the little things that with the more mature horses you take for granted but when you step back to look how far you’ve come it’s so rewarding xx

[@fghjkl1143]

I’d definitely do Addie in the 100 you guys know and completely trust each other. I know banksy is amazing. But Addie is your little super star!

[@NoThankUBeQuiet]

You have to consider that the championship is an increased level and Addie is young.

[@margauxnodvin7478]

@@NoThankUBeQuietoh I didn’t think about that. I also suggested doing Addy in the 100 bc she and Emily have such a great partnership, and Em knows her own horse much better than she does Banksy. But if it would be too big of a step up for Addy, then 90 is probably better.

[@devils.advocate2354]

51:24 awesome and fabulous indeed👏👏 made it look easy. You should be pleased ma’am with Addie and yourself. Loved Nala with stick ready to herd cows 🐾 🧡 can’t wait to see you on a patchy gentleman

[@margauxnodvin7478]

Congratulations on placing third!!! 🎉 Well deserved; both you and Addy were phenomenal! I agree with the general consensus that you and Addy could EASILY move up to BE 100. If you are eventing Addy AND Banksy, I’d do Addy in the 100 bc you know her so well, and have that partnership. I’d do Banksy in the 90. Of course we all know Banksy is more than capable of doing the 100, I personally would want to take my OWN horse is the more difficult class and ride my friend’s horse in an easier class just bc I know I don’t know my friend’s horse as well, that I haven’t spent the thousands of hours training and competing my friend’s horse as I have with my own. But you might be bolder than I am, in which case I’d take them both in the 100 if that’s allowed. Not an eventer, so I don’t know the rules on that. Whatever you decide, I’m sure you’ll do great! This comment is much later than planned, bc I actually rewatched it several times, especially the cross country footage bc you and Addy made it look a breeze and SO much fun. I’m in the U.S. and have ridden and competed in Hunter/jumpers for three decades now (schooled to 1.20m show jumping but only competed up to 1.15m), but have developed an interest in eventing over the last few years thanks to following you and your friends. Probably silly to try an even MORE potentially dangerous equine sport at age 47, but who knows?😅. Anyway, congrats again. Great video, and loved the commentary on your dressage and SJ!❤

[@_amy.louise_]

Smashed it! So proud of you both that day and loved seeing the smile on your face at the end of it! Keep working hard 💕

[@emdeventing]

Thank you so much for all your help!! Very much appreciated ❤️ xx

[@Ridingforwardwithmaria]

Loved the special guest voice over 😊well done , Addie is growing up and doing so well. So lovely you and your mum noticing the little wins with her 🧡🇦🇺

[@MarionFeltham]

So many improvements which only happens with hard work - she is growing up and into the real deal and you rode her beautifully.

[@margaretlane9629]

Absolutely fabulous 🤩 well done, love this vlog

[@chalc8882]

Love the 'Cam'-eo and guest commentary

[@user-gz6zn7lg6n]

Both of you were so good!

[@christinemartindale8715]

Well ridden throughout Emily you and Addie are a wonderful team. May there be many more . It was nice to see Chris supporting you, I so wanted the very tasty looking sausage bay yummy lol 😝 looking forward to seeing you more love watching you sweet girl.tfs🤗🏇🤗

[@emdeventing]

Aww thanks so much as always Christine! Next eventing vlog will be out soon xx

[@elizpert6689]

[@dawnlawrence3372]

Lovely work, Addie is looking so good! Watching from 🇦🇺🦘

[@emdeventing]

Thanks so much! 😊

[@JanetThorpe-uv2ev]

Daddy is so gorgeous Em!!

[@kudapooda9993]

Hi ALL, THE cow's where having a party, a good hake with friends .builds up confidence , Em is that at a recorded o have ever thing packed the night before. I remember those day's, but then travel to the yard . We'll do for going out eventing after such a long brack .Take care and all the best. 😊😊😊😊👍👍👍👍💖

[@emdeventing]

They were indeed! Fresh field feels for sure xx

[@jeniferrinehart1107]

Well done!! ❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉

[@LuBushell]

Ahh you and addy are class. 🎉

[@geekchic3685]

What I want to know is...when is Cam starting his own channel? Lol

[@heatherbainbridge818]

You were both fabulous fantastic result ❤

[@emdeventing]

Thank you so much ❤️

[@juliabanes204]

Considering how bold both ponies are, I'd risk doing BE100!! But yet, do what your gut feels right for them, that's the ticket right there

[@Siobhan_Shivaun]

A certain grassroots competition may be in your future!! 💖💖

[@patriciaemms1902]

Great result, Addie looks more than capable and would easily go round the 100, is the dressage test the same for both? Good luck whichever way you decide 🎉😂 xx

[@sparkle.-buggg3610]

Well done epic result ❤

[@emdeventing]

Thank you so much xx

[@christinedavies336]

Great vlog Emily. Loved Cameron's and Alicia's comments too. Did you finish in 3rd place? 🎉 Love it when Chris can be there with you! ❤ 😊 ×O×

[@carolynevans7676]

Fab event. Not sure if the fluffy noseband does perhaps make her easier to judge as being out of line in dressage

[@trudebower1576]

Epic improvement in her canter.

[@natalievannet]

Great job both of you, but PLEASE rethink the figure eight noseband fleece for dressage!

[@Tammylovesalat]

Addi is looking great

[@debbiewhite8981]

Well done Emily and Addie

[@word20]

what is this with time penalties if you have a faster time than minimum time for cross country? Both your horse and Banksy are fast horses and you are riding normally and you don't push your horses but you take your time and read the fences and you know how to ride and jump the fences. I know that they set a minimum and maximum time for the course but it does not seem like that they think that there is a possibility that there can be horses that are naturally fast and you do not rush to jump the fences but you take the time you need, but still both of your horses are riding fast when you ride.

[@katiejones5857]

😃😃😃😃😃😃

[@donnastarpaw]

As you’ve not actually Competed Banksy before I’d play it safe and do the 90 on him and the 100 of Addy Both are more than capable of the 100 and Banksy has more experience and yes you have ridden him before but it’s different when it’s not your own horse

[@emdeventing]

Interestingly I did actually compete Banksy back in 2018 🙈 but it has been a fair few years since then 😂 hopefully listening to my gut is the right thing 🤞 xx

[@kudapooda9993]

Banksey 100 and all the best. 😊😊👍👍💟

[@emdeventing]

Ooo thanks! Keep your eyes peeled for the next vlog 👀

[@chloebirth3841]

Hi em, I have a question! I’m returning to riding after a 5 year break and severe loss of confidence. With the rideathon, does it need to be hacking? I’m not yet confident enough to hack x

[@MissJools11]

Banksey in the 100 and Addie in the 90.

[@emdeventing]

Ooo thank you! Keep your eyes peeled for the next vlog 👀

[@devils.advocate2354]

I vote Addie 100 Banksy 90 but leave it to your gut 👍

[@jettegeuze6936]

Do you ride without studs??

[@emdeventing]

No Addie wears a stud in each hoof x

[@plove523]

Addie 100 Banksy 90.

[@keepfitcornwall]

First 😜🥰

[@emdeventing]

Hahah speedy 😂😂

[@christinemartindale8715]

Bap 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@emdeventing]

😂😂😂

[@JanetThorpe-uv2ev]

Addy LOL

[@emdeventing]

That did make me giggle 😂😂😂

[@horsecare.skincare]

Addie is super, well done. Time for 100 and Novice. :) she has a cute little bascule over jumps. Youve done a fine job producing her!
