GROOM, TACK UP, RIDE *and get lost* WITH ME winter trail ride ~ Vlogmas day 5

My first ever groom, tack up and ride with me didn't exactly go to plan but here it is anyway. 😂
Join Hobbit and I on an adventure around the British countryside with the GoPro. There is some almost ASMR grooming, some galloping and a nice argument between mum and I when we get lost at the end...what more could you want this Christmas. As always be sure to let me know if you like this style of video, I think it could be really nice on a sunny day.
Remember there are two REALLY great giveaways in todays vlog to head over to my Instagram to enter:

I had my jumping lesson last night I went amazing I got so much confidence from it. I went into it scared to jump 50cm and anything other than a cross pole, I ended up doing 70cm straights and even a few oxers which was so cool, I got so much confidence like I said so I’m really happy with it and hopes next time I jump will be back like I was before I fell. Misty was a legend as well. Then Lola made my whole day by getting addicted to iron bru. Bests day 😘😍

[@julen2380]

You could use Komoot to avoid getting lost. It's a website plus app that you can use to plan and navigate routes. I use it for hiking and biking (yes, I'm the female, slightly younger equivalent to your dad but on a bright sun-yellow bike ;)). It has even the tiniest, smallest paths on it so it's great off-road. P.S.: Full disclosure - You can still get lost ("Oooh, look at the path! Looks so much nicer than the one planned") but you can easily find your way back. ;)
