Congrats on such wonderful results! You both looked great. Hope to see you and Banks out eventing again soon. Would ❤❤❤ to also see Louie at an event. Hope that happens, too. Enjoy your vacation!

[@LifeontheLeftRein]

Thank you xx

[@plove523]

Sybil is adorable! Is she a terrier? I love how she just makes herself at home with Banksy. I can tell when you are nervous, your speech speeds up. Yep, focus on the goodness of getting out with a healthy pony and hanging with your horsey friends. I can’t imagine how the dressage judge could even see in that downpour. Good rhythm in the SJ, I kept thinking canter, canter, canter. He was keen out of the start box, looking like a boss. And you were fearless! Well done!

[@LifeontheLeftRein]

Yea she’s a Norfolk terrier I believe. She’s so lovely!! Banks felt incredible and I felt so lucky to have him back doing what we both love xx

[@judysouzaw2293]

Congratulations, Tina and Banksy!! The bond the two of you share is so heartwarming. I love all your vlogs- your honesty, joyful spirit and love of your animal companions, family and friends are inspiring. Great job!

[@LifeontheLeftRein]

Aaawwwww thank you!! I feel extremely lucky to call him mine he’s ace xx

[@Katy.Lou.K]

I’ve been praying and sending good vibes you and Banks would get out eventing !!! It’s finally happened!! That show jumping round made me laugh- I cheered with you! And then said, Nooo😭😱🙈 when he took that back plank! Still a stellar day you two! So thrilled and proud of you and my favorite boy Banksy! So much love and cheers to you! Can’t wait to see Louie have a go at eventing. Love from California⛰️🌲☀️💙 ps. I hope Robbie is feeling better!

[@JoeAcarnley]

Well done Tina & banks both of you were so brilliant at all three stages.

[@melaniejaynejones6436]

Despite the rain, and how wet was it when you did your dressage! You and Banksy were amazing ❤ Great to see you out there competing. All the rounds you looked confident and Banksy enjoying what he loves best ❤ 7th place for first event is incredible. Roll on the next event. So lovely to see Sam 😊 When's little Dinx's coming home?

[@whatsupdoc99]

Yay! 29.0 for Dressage ~ in the pouring rain too! 7th! Happy days! Have a lovely holiday. xOx

[@ChloeJoness21]

Well done Tina!! You and Banksy did such a great job! ❤❤

[@annejarvis7002]

Glorious vlog. Congratulations on a fantastic result. You were so unlucky with the pesky plank. Banksy was fabulous in the dressage. You rode all three elements with confidence and control 🎉 Hope Rob was fully recovered from his illness & that you both had a fabulous holiday (& well-deserved rest). Your vlog cheered me up after 3 weeks of illness. Thank you, Tina, for the vlogs, for your infectious humour, and for sharing your sheer joy and love of horses. Can't wait to see what's next🤗

[@kernowcapers6199]

That was awesome!! 👏🤩 It’s so lovely to see you both enjoying it so much and that was a brilliant result. Onwards and upwards to the next one! ❤xx

[@LifeontheLeftRein]

Thanks lovely lady xx

[@EquineFun]

Yes we were there in the afternoon and the plank caught a few jumpers out.

[@amberrose7023]

So nice to see you and Banksy out again! Lovely job well done to the both of you!! 🎉❤

[@LifeontheLeftRein]

Thanks so much! 😊 he was such a good ponio xx

[@tori_s_equestrian]

[@LifeontheLeftRein]

Thank you so much xx

[@aidanham]

Well done Banksy and Tina! So many big smiles and such a happy Banksy tackling the three phases like a pro! Good to see you guys out there again having fun together! 👏🏼👏🏼 Much love ❤

[@plaasmeisie55]

My wild horse are addicted to me 😂😂When she sees me she runs over and follow me everywhere 😂. Absolutely love your videos. My absolute favorite KZbinr ❤

[@LifeontheLeftRein]

Thanks for watching xx

[@debbieredmon5063]

What a glorious event! You and Banksy were perfect. Never underestimate the power of the plank!

[@law7897]

Congratulations Tina and Banksy. A great vlog to watch xx

[@LifeontheLeftRein]

Thanks so much I really enjoyed the day despite being a little nervous about getting back out there xx

[@Agirlwholovescars]

Only started watching it now and already loving it❤ So happy you two are back eventing

[@LifeontheLeftRein]

Thank you it felt good to be back out!!

[@bethany6148]

Lovely to see you and Banksy back out enjoying yourself and doing so well today! Well done! Xx

[@taylorwollerson2561]

Congratulations on the great time out! You both looked so good!

[@rmfan2092]

You rode so well! Your show jumping round truly reflected the effort you have been putting into that phase! You have to be so proud of yourself and Banksy... Keep it up! Without one unlucky rail, what placing would you have been?

[@LifeontheLeftRein]

We’d have been 2nd 💙

[@rmfan2092]

@@LifeontheLeftRein for such a long break, that is phenomenal!!! Can't wait to see how you do on your next event! :)

[@sarahcooper3378]

Very well done. Good to see you being so positive. Banksy can certainly do his job and so can you!

[@LifeontheLeftRein]

Thank you, it 100% did reiterate the power of a positive mind, as I was looking forward to the dressage and worried about the planks being the final fence...and what happened!!

[@rainbowsandunicorns9196]

Amazing vlog congratulations Tina and banksy!!!😊❤❤❤❤

[@rebeccarapetti3747]

Congratulations Tina and an absolute epic Banksy!!! Your dressage test was fantastic. You both looked so relaxed and what a test!!!! All your hard work is coming together and totally paying off 💪. Wow!!!! Loved watching this vlog. Hope you and Robbie have a wonderful holiday!!! ❤️Xxx

[@jassyandponies]

an 8 for your halt!! incredible in all phases - especially since it's been a while. so glad you all enjoyed it despite the rain! i watched em's vlog first so it was fun to see both your experiences. well done guys! 🎉🎉

[@LifeontheLeftRein]

Was chuffed with the dressage scores, thank you xx

[@lisakovic5256]

First event back!! Top 10 and only a pole down you bloody champions!!!! ❤❤❤ Banksy little face 🥹😍 he LOVED it! Was worth you pushing yourself to go! ❤❤❤

[@LifeontheLeftRein]

It sure was!! he was awesome all day!! Very lucky to call im mine xx

[@Morganpies]

I know what you mean about feeling guilty when riding your ‘new’ horse compared to your ‘old faithful’ as I have the same guilt feeling which means I do ride my 25yo more than my 12yo but they are happier that way as my younger boy isn’t that bothered about being ridden, he loves his food more than anything but I am conscious he needs to work to keep his belly down ha! Whereas my old man needs to be busy like he always has been and needs the mental and physical stimulation to be at his happiest! It’s hard work Tina so I do sympathise greatly!!! I’d have Louie any day of the week though he is right up my street as a Welsh X! You will get there and in time things will become easier ❤

[@79buzzybee]

Hi Tina. Sorry for being late to comment. but I have been catching up with your Vlogs. Sir Banksy and yourself looked fantastic eventing in this Vlog, and you should be really proud of yourself. You were both, as always; absolutely amazing. And due to the rollercoaster year you have had; which has included some fantastic adventures, you and Sir Banksy were amazing. Thank You for sharing your Vlogs you are inspiring, and yourself and Sir Banksy were excellent in that event. Well Done You, and Sir Banksy 🙂 xx

[@Toooldtobounce]

Tina you were amazing! Such a shame about those planks but your dressage was lovely. I’ve taken advantage of your Yfood coupon ❤

[@LifeontheLeftRein]

Thank you!! That’s fab to hear appreciate the support xx

[@yogurtboxer]

Congrats! So glad to see you so happy ❤

[@LifeontheLeftRein]

Thank you so much!!xx

Huge well done Tina!! Smashed it ❤

[@LifeontheLeftRein]

Thanks lovely it was so good to be back out enjoying the boyo xx

[@faykelz1073]

Well done on getting out there Tina! You and Banksy are stars!! Re Louis, if it helps I remember when I was about to have my second child and worrying all the time about how I was going to love this one as much as I did the first (which was crazy amounts). I felt weirdly guilty for the first child, etc etc until a wise woman told me that love isn't limited, it just keeps growing exponentially. So Banksy doesn't miss out on you/your love, it doesn't diminish when you incorporate/love/ride Louis it all just keeps growing. I hope I make some sense. Thanks for sharing your life. From Australia xxx

[@algeebo]

Yes girl!!!!! Proud of you 🎉❤

[@graysbeforebays.drassageri1336]

Congrats on being back at it Tina! Great day for you. Bad luck in SJ, but absolutely stunning dressage test; I was super impressed and I bet Cameron was too. Super to see an event vlog again! Have a wonderful holiday!❤

[@LifeontheLeftRein]

Thank you yea I need to send it to Cam actually for a lil bit of feedback hehe. Xx

[@Siobhan_Shivaun]

I love how Banksy went from "I dont wanna go" to "yasssss we're at an event, let me at 'em!!!!" Gosh that rain during the dressage was awful! It's odd how it never seems to bother the horses tho'! You'd wonder why we bother rugging them up when they're out in the field!!! 😂 Wowsers, you smashed it cross country!! #GoodBoyBanksy #WellDoneTina 💖🌟

[@davemelrose5848]

What a great first eventing blog you both done amazing

[@JenniferJCouch]

Lovely to meet you too x

[@jessicahigdon3962]

Great video Tina. I had a thought about Louie. Perhaps, Han the super groom would like to do some low level events 🤔. I know they are a bit far from you. Great video.

[@LifeontheLeftRein]

Thanks and yes they would suit each other but a long way to travel 😉

[@staceyross5471]

Well done both of you,epic as always ❤xx

[@LifeontheLeftRein]

Thank you I was super pleased with how well he went in all phases xx

[@malloryalford9808]

Tina, you and Banks are one of the best duos I've seen! SO proud of you and Sir Banksy conquering what you both have this year, then still making it out to keep in the game. Dressage was SO pretty to watch as well - you two truly deserved that amazing score! Well done! (Also, what can we do to peer pressure yfood to get to the US?! I try every time you rave about them hoping that their availability has changed, and it's regrettably not available to be shipped to the US and not available for purchase.) Much love from the US! 💙

[@LifeontheLeftRein]

Aaawwwww thanks lovely, I was chuffed with how the whole day went especially the dressage. YFodd are hoping to begin America soon I will check if they have a date yet xx

[@malloryalford9808]

@@LifeontheLeftRein It made me so happy to just see you two out at a pony party again. I simply cannot wait for the next event...maybe one on Louie soon? 🤫

[@Carroty_Peg]

🌞 Hope you're able to get over your guilt about 'cheating' on Banksy with Louis. Fingers crossed you are able to continue Eventing after Banksy retires as I really love watching you grow and improve. 🌞 🌞

[@devils.advocate2354]

Well well well done ma’am. This was a highlight for me. That dressage test should be framed. The left rein canter 🔥 and finished it with a 💥 halt. You rode that very well and Banksy was star especially in that rain. Your show jumping round was best I’ve seen you ride. Shame about the plank. (I foresee a SpongeBob plank jump with plankton planks and jellyfish fillers.🧐) XC was 🔥 Banksy eat that up. The groom fairy was spot on as Banksy looked spot on! Side note while digging for electric tape… didn’t realize all the prizes/trophies Rob has in garage. His horses run on rubber shoes while Tina horses runs steel/aluminum shoes. 🧡 you both like to zoom zoom 🏎

Well done! It’s lovely to see you and banks out in your happy place! Love how his legs go like the clappers 😅 does he ride more like a pony than horse stride wise? X

[@LifeontheLeftRein]

He does indeed yes!! He has a short fast stride so his legs more speedily which is why he likes to get deep to a fabric rather than take a flyer

I dont know how you eventers (and other disciplines) do the early morning starts. I can handle early mornings, but bathing in the half light looks exhausting.
