It's so wonderful that Ash's parents are out supporting them, even Mr Crutcho :P

[@horsecare.skincare]

Yes and after Ashley's reply to me, I'm even starting to appreciate dad. 🙂

Hello, you and Zeb were brilliant as always. He looks really fit and good, he even looks like he has put on a few pounds in a good way. Your mom looks gorgeous, love the short hair on your mom, beautiful. You and Zeb jumped those fences as if they were small, I would not a have believed they were as big as they are if you didn't stand next to them. Do not worry so much about Zeb's age, some horses age better than others. I had quarter horses most of my life and we had two horses only a year apart. We had them from babies to senior years. Loda the quarter/thorough breed grey horse developed arthritis was stiff and could not be ridden very much when she got into her 20's. Bo a quarter horse fleabitten grey, would still buck when you rode her in her twenties and she was fit did not look like a twenty something horse. Loda died around 23, she was not in very good shape and I was about to have to have her put to sleep when she passed on her own. She was very skinny and unable to move around very well and she was starting to have digestive issues Bo was very active still running around the yard, pasture, bucking and was fit enough to ride even thou she was in her mid twenties. Again you and Zeb did an awesome job. Congratulations on the first event.

[@ashleyharrisoneventing]

Thanks 🙏 😊great to hear other people’s stories 👍

[@candidapratt3675]

YEA I think he was in his comfort zone. you were really good tooo

[@ashleyharrisoneventing]

Thanks 🙏 😊

[@CashStuffWithKristine]

Amazing job! Is Steve going to have to have surgery on his back? Also your mum looks AMAZING!! I love her new hair! Could we get an update on her cancer? Xx

[@ashleyharrisoneventing]

Thanks 🙏 no back surgery, mum is doing really well - thank you for asking 😊😊

[@dellquinn6349]

Fantastic to see the whole family including zeb out and having a great day. May many more lie ahead for yee all

[@ashleyharrisoneventing]

Hope so 😊

[@meredithingram9384]

Zeb is such a smart horse cross country, no wasted effort at jumps and nice consistent forward pace. Good on you both!

[@ashleyharrisoneventing]

Thanks 🙏 😊

[@katherinewheatcroft3617]

What a class act. Zebedee's show jumping was amazingly clean. As for his cross country, he just loves it. Absolutely fantastic. Well done Ashley.

[@ashleyharrisoneventing]

Thanks 🙏 😊

[@VK-qe7if]

Well done Ashley and Zeb. 👌👍 I thought it was quite a tough course, but I love how you look after Zeb, and think of his welfare all the time and don't over push him. By the way I used to work as a groom not far from there and I was sole charge of an 18.hh and 16.2hh and regularly used to ride in Cirencester park, and jump some of the jumps from past events. I did once get lost in the park, but I met up with the Earl of Bathhursts groom and he put me on the right track home. 😊

[@ashleyharrisoneventing]

🤣👍😊

[@righthoofforward6718]

So good to see you two back out doing what you do best! Lovely to see you again whilst at the event and have to say how bloody well your super mum is doing 💖 xx

[@ashleyharrisoneventing]

Thanks so much 😊😊

[@jordyn0]

whoop whoop zeb is on the move! 😂😂❤i hate to say it but as a western rider i think the xc walks make me never want to do cross country ever it scares me how big they are! glad you’re so confident with zeb he seems like such a pro he just takes you to these jumps like they’re nothing! 😮

[@ashleyharrisoneventing]

👍👍👏👏😊

[@susancroft8643]

So happy to see your Mum out with you again! ❤️

[@ashleyharrisoneventing]

Thanks 🙏 😊

[@lali7839]

Zeb looked fantastic, you knocked this one out the park, well done

[@ashleyharrisoneventing]

Thanks 🙏 😊

[@elainemacdonald6541]

Are there many (or even any) other twenty year old horses competing at this level? Thinking of the details of horse/rider listings in programmes of events I have attended, it does seem pretty unusual. Even if Zeb is blessed with "young genes" it is still testament to your care of him and concern for his welfare ie not running him too many times per season that he still so youthful and in such great shape. A great comeback after his surgery. Love to mum and dad too.

[@ashleyharrisoneventing]

Thanks 🙏 no there are very few 😊😊

[@patriciaemms1902]

Great start to his event season , beefy fences and he made them look so easy, well done, lovely to have input from your mum, and Harry is a star no matter what lol 😂 xx

[@ashleyharrisoneventing]

🤣🤣👍

[@bellaequestrian3109]

Well done Ashley! Riding against London 52 and Laura Collett as well😍

[@fleetskipper1810]

Was she? Impressive.

[@ashleyharrisoneventing]

😊😊

[@rottsandspots]

SJ and X country were totally effortless as usual. Wonderful to see you and Zeb have your confidence X Country back again 😊 Go Zeb.

[@ashleyharrisoneventing]

😊😊

[@sparkle.-buggg3610]

Your absolutely amazing well done Ashley love watching you ride you make it look so easy. Say hi to your mum and dad there are truly lovely ❤

[@ashleyharrisoneventing]

Thank you 🙏 Will do 😊

[@paigehart86]

Why don't you ever jump at Badminton and the bigger comps 🥰. You and your horses are more than talented enough for it ❤. So nice to see your mom looking so well ans great vid! Zeb looking in great shape! Well done! Hope your dad's back gets better soon so he can ride again! 🌸

[@ashleyharrisoneventing]

We do but it’s been a funny couple of years with other stuff going on 😊

[@vintagelady1]

Zeb looked like he was totally in the visualizing zone when you were tacking him up for dressage, & then seemed so focused. I think Zeb was showing off on the medium trot: "I can trot, canter, trot, canter, change it up every 2 strides, piece of cake for an old pro like me." And he gave a whole new meaning to the phrase, "jump for joy," he looked like a horse doing what he was born to do. Sorry about your dad's back, that's awful to have so much pain; your mum looks wonderful, that short hair is so youthful-looking. fun to see old Zeb showing off his skills, & you looked like having fun, too! I think the XC folks would be very wise to do like dog shows, where there's a winner in each category & then one overall. More ribbons, more happy entrants! Zeb would most definitely have got the show jump first, I'm sure!

[@ashleyharrisoneventing]

👍👍😊

[@milavanderlinde5259]

Well done!!!!!! Really amazing round!! I thought, apart from the medium trot, that your dressage was stunning, smooth and almost flawless! ❤️ Zeb is was definitely the Main Man in the sj arena and Xc field out of all the other horses there ❤️💕🌸👌🏼🌟🌟🌟 You can be super proud! Ashley: 10/10 ❤️ Zeb: 10 /10

[@ashleyharrisoneventing]

🙏🥰🥰

[@diamondsrust1976]

wow Zebedee is just amazing and Ashley you are just a great rider! what a wonderful team you guys are and to keep him healthy and fit at his age just shows how much you care for your horses just wonderful!!

[@ashleyharrisoneventing]

🙏🥰🥰

[@julen2380]

Does Zeb have any issues going xc? It always seems as if his issue is things (and humans) taking too long to get him ON the xc course. Lol. Lovely to see all of you out again, incl. your mum. All the best for your Dad's back!

[@ashleyharrisoneventing]

He can’t wait to get on that XC course 🤣🤣😊

[@ren-uz2mz]

Oh darling Zeb was so happy to be out! Well aside from all that faffing that was not his beloved XC 😉 Really well done!😊

[@ashleyharrisoneventing]

👏👏😊

[@ucfevents]

Zebedee makes XC look like a skip in the park! 20 years old and still kicking it! Love your team with mom, dad, and Ash all as a family and a shared interest! Hope your dad starts to feel better!

[@ashleyharrisoneventing]

Great to see Zeb out again! It seems like your neighbours wanted to have a go at contributing to the vlogging 😂

[@ashleyharrisoneventing]

🤣🤣😊

[@janl8683]

Great job on his first outing. Ground looked a little sticky but you both handled it well. ❤

[@ashleyharrisoneventing]

Thanks 🙏 😊

[@kellybiddulph421]

May I just mention how great mumma Harrison’s lookin with the short hair. Looking beautiful 🥰

I’ll pass it on 👍😊

[@Horses4ever-n5e]

You are just a amazing rider(: I really wanna be like you I’m still learning how to ride and stuff I do show jumping (: you inspired me to ride horses (:❤

[@ashleyharrisoneventing]

That’s so nice to hear 😊😊

[@dvsmum3832]

Ash, tell mum she’s looking phenomenal ❤

[@ashleyharrisoneventing]

Thanks I will 😊😊

[@Upunda]

Fabulous horse and rider combination, we’ll done 👊

[@ashleyharrisoneventing]

Thanks 🙏 😊

[@eveborgos848]

Ashley, Congratulations on two perfect rides. Dressage does not really count--Zeb does not like it. Still have to say, "you have nerves of steel." You rode phenomenally and Zeb, of course, is a phenomenal horse. So happy to see your Mom doing well but sad to see your Dad is having back problems. Again, Congratulations!! Oh, by the way, you did say phenomenally perfect!!

[@ashleyharrisoneventing]

🤣🤣😊

[@emmysneyd1324]

Didn’t he love it!

[@ashleyharrisoneventing]

👏👏😊

[@dimplechops88]

Zeb is an absolute cross country machine

[@ashleyharrisoneventing]

He is 👍👍😊

[@lizgarland2241]

Fab round 👍👍👍

[@ashleyharrisoneventing]

😊😊

[@whizzywoo582]

Very 80's feel to the music today ;)

[@ashleyharrisoneventing]

🤣🤣😊

[@Teakwondogirl]

I’m new to the channel and I wonder have you done badminton horse trials before?

[@ashleyharrisoneventing]

No not yet - hoping to one day 😊😊

[@fleetskipper1810]

I love all of your horses, but I have a soft spot for Zeb, the crotchety old man who just wants to go cross-country. He fluidly jumps out of stride as well as any 5*horse.

[@ashleyharrisoneventing]

👍👍😊

[@hannesofie6071]

Don't get why the judges don't like Zebedee?? He is big, black and elegant! ❤❤ The rest was amazing!!! Well done!!!

[@ashleyharrisoneventing]

Thanks 🙏 😊

[@dimplechops88]

Do we know what position we came?

[@livapetermane3652]

We?

[@ashleyharrisoneventing]

Not sure 🤔

[@clairesuzanne1276]

Where did you finally place ? That course is bigger than Meg jumps at Badminton - why don't you try to qualify for Badminton or Burghly as you are a top adult rider and have as good a chance as any of the leading riders or go up against Meghan Elphick....is it because she's on ponies that divides you from competing in the same classes? I'd love to see you up against Piggy March or Kitty King as you're as talented as them ❤

[@livapetermane3652]

Meg is only doing be90 badminton and overall events. Ash I's doing a much higher level event than meg that's why they can't compete against meg:)

[@livapetermane3652]

And meg mainly competes jam and jam is a 15,2 so technically a horse. Meg did the be90 badminton this year and doesn't event higher than be100

[@ashleyharrisoneventing]

I have competed against the big names on quite a few occasions- watch the Burnham Market 4* Event Vlog 👍👍😊

[@helenehoward6294]

Your dad needs to see an Osteopath

[@ashleyharrisoneventing]

He’s seeing one 👍
