[@Twizy...88]

Ok I’m on my mums google account rn but I went to bali and I had been looking for a horse and I went and started volunteering at a barn when my mum said I could adopt a horse so the people there recommended a horse named Bali so I met him and fell in love so I adopted him and he is 17 hh but he is the kindest and has an amazing nature xx

[@laurenemcotton]

Awh how lovely!

[@debrabolton9372]

Bali is beautiful! Much good luck and health with her! 🍀

[@rileyruiz3441]

[@TheJumpingGymnast]

laurenemcotton thank you!!!

[@marcie6932]

bit late buttt DID YOU GET A HORSEEE

[@teganbrando6224]

I’ve always loved horses. Begged for riding lessons and wanted one since I was like 6 but my family just simply doesn’t have the money

[@laurenemcotton]

Hopefully you will be able to buy yourself one one day! I bought Bali myself 😊

[@teganbrando6224]

laurenemcotton hopefully! She’s beautiful btw 😌

[@swagster1003]

Her: *buys a bunch of horse things* Me: *Can’t even afford a pack of gum* Edit: My big as thumb just ruins everything REeEeeEe

[@indiaequine4565]

I’ve been looking for a loan pony for 4 months and no look and you look for a week and find one. 😫😫😫 she’s beautiful

[@laurenemcotton]

Finding a loan horse is soo hard! Where are you from? And Thankyou so much! I’m completely in love with her x

[@indiaequine4565]

laurenemcotton I’m in the north west (Cumbria) and some website’s don’t even have. Cumbria as an option, I’m trying to save money for my own horse but I’m only 12 so the struggle is real 😭😂

[@laurenemcotton]

If you or your parents have Facebook join the group called (happy hackers and family horses) that’s where I found Bali! When they accept you into the group you can put a post on there saying what you’re looking for and what area and people will comment with horses that are available! Hopefully you find one soon

[@indiaequine4565]

laurenemcotton thank you. I’ll ask my mum and hopefully I’ll find one soon! X

[@indiaequine925]

laurenemcotton I’m so thankful and happy you took time out of your day to answer me! Without you I wouldn’t have even thought to look on Facebook! I’ve found my new pony! Thank you so much!!!! 💕💕💕

[@hanselcaudill7627]

Shes so pretty

[@brendal6936]

I like the grooming kit with the bucket, but waaaaaaaaay too much pink. The halter she was wearing upon arrival looked pretty snug, but she’s a pretty horse. Good luck.

[@destinyanna500]

Brenda L maybe for you but it might be her favorite color🤷

[@poppy_equestrian_]

Brenda L You can never have too much pink!!!

[@missb4734]

This looks like a yard I rode at a few times at haggerston castle

[@tay4647]

Charlie De amelio's twin

[@lunaequestrian449]

I used to own a friesian before my pintabian, but we sold him.

[@justequine5002]

What do you use to edit your videos? Also I love your new horse! 😃

[@user-xz1el2tk3y]

Didnt she come with a wardrobe? Or did you turn if down to get her new stuff? And I know if a couple months late but shes gorgeous

[@laurenemcotton]

Noo, all she came with is a headcollar and half a lead rope 😂 currently saving up for a better saddle, Thankyou, she’s a little cutie

[@summermarch800]

This is so amazing yr so amazing beautiful horse but I am still learning and wanting to know how u can get over kunda like anxiety about falling off?

[@laurenemcotton]

Awh thankyou so much! I don’t really post on here any more so give us a follow on Instagram simplybali_ You’re not a good rider until you’ve fallen off a few times 😉😂 it can be scary but if you’re anxious the horse will be able to sense that so you’ve got to put falling off to the back of your mind and just don’t think about it, I overthink a lot and it has stopped me from doing what I want with my horses in the past but I’m trying not to do that now and just enjoy it and what ever happens happens! Falling off is very rarely as bad as you think it will be x

[@summermarch800]

@@laurenemcotton the i will definitly go follow u and the for the advice

[@tammyhigbee3703]

Ahhhhh, I can’t!!!!!! R u leasing her? Or is she in your backyard?

[@depphead_edits9455]

Good video tho

[@no.5788]

I am getting a horse for my 13th next month, best place to get cheap enough tack and grooming stuff etc?

[@leah5038]

hi! this is the first video i have seen of yours! i have wanted a horse for a while now and i just left school and am not going to uni. i am hoping to work full time or get an apprenticeship. I wanted my own rather than getting a share and i was wondering how realistic it would actualy be for me to own my own horse. i wont be getting paid a lot monthly and will be practically paying for it alone. are they as expensive as people say.

[@laurenemcotton]

I had my first horse on an apprenticeship wage, it was expensive but it’s definitely doable, might actually do a video on the expenses of owning a horse soon! That might help you figure it out x

[@leah5038]

laurenemcotton that would be amazing thank you ! X

[@Sunshine-oj3iy]

Hey, I love all ur videos so much! Just wondering where you got all the stuff from?

[@laurenemcotton]

Thankyou!! I got pretty much all my stuff from this outdoor store near me called Charlie’s, they are online too

[@Sunshine-oj3iy]

Thank you so much!! Patiently waiting for more videos

[@123cherub]

Just bought our first pony can i ask where you got your grooming kit please?

[@jaelhoward4621]

That grooming kit is sooooo cute! Where'd you get it?

[@laurenemcotton]

It’s from this outdoor store called Charlie’s, they have a website also x

[@Igiuviygjih]

how did you get a saddle and girth without having her fitted

[@shubhigupta2388]

hi! I really like this video but im wondering how you buy horses! Like websites and stuff...its so hard for me!

[@laurenemcotton]

Sorry only just seen this! I found Bali advertised on Facebook, got her sent over from Ireland x

[@kindwaffles2727]

[@laurenemcotton]

She’s a friesian cross Irish draught!

[@kindwaffles2727]

Non-equestrian probably think all the stuff you bought her was 100 dollars worth but really all equestrians know that is 1000000000 percent not true all of that is atleast 1,000+

[@laurenemcotton]

It’s an expensive do hahaha currently saving for a nicer saddle 😂
