OUR LAST SHOW BEFORE NATIONALS | SHOW VLOG | VOICE OVER | HACKETT EQUINE

[@HollyLenahanSJ]

Woah Miri! That medium trot really was something. I haven’t seen him flick his toes like that before 💃🏽 A good sign for nationals!!

[@lyssakate]

I love how you all support each other 💞

[@sianbennett-rodgers]

Perhaps the booming Phantom of the Opera in the warm up prepped him for the music 🤣

[@hackettequine2059]

Sian Rodgers hahah I think so! It was quite something!

[@emk7132]

The dog fetching apples tho... that made my day!

[@TheMonsterMonsters]

I always look forward to your videos 💕 they bring me so much joy, and the way you love your horses is so inspiring

[@fleetskipper1810]

I empathize with your frustration about not getting more judge comments. In the United State, where I scribe quite a bit, various judges have told me that if they award a score of 7 or higher, they are trained not to add comments because it’s assumed that the rider will realize that there wasn’t that much to improve on. To add some context, it’s fairly unusual for 8’s to be awarded in the USA, 9’s are practically unheard of, and 10’s are a fantasy. (I find that really rather silly, personally, because why bother to have a scale of 10?) Nonetheless, that’s how judges tend to score here. Any score under a 7 will usually be accompanied by a comment in the USA, and it does seem like your judge didn’t do that, either. It may be the difference in how they’re trained in the UK versus the USA. Just thought I’d throw that in as something to think about. Also, while evaluating musical kurs, sometimes the judges are so busy focusing on making sure that all the required movements have been included (since the pattern has been designed by the rider and varies from the standardized test patterns) that they end up not making many comments on the movements. I’m not making an excuse for lack of comments on kur scoring sheets, but they can be harder on the judges to do than the standardized tests. Or it could simply be that your judge wasn’t very loquacious, while lots of them are. 🙃

[@janicefeszt5545]

The TRT method seems to be how you train your horses, if I am correct and of great benefit as you achieve with kind intelligence. Enjoying watching your horses’ progress, thanks for including others in your busy life.

[@whitedoveofdelaware544]

You were much more relaxed at this show. It was very much different than last time. Your yoga and meditation is paying good rewards. I am impressed with your progress in such a short time! Good luck at the Nationals. Enjoy it, that’s the most important thing.

[@vikkineish5790]

Inde has grown so much and Kenco looks really well. So pleased that Mo is doing well and the lovely Zora is such a stunning Horse. Obi is looking good, he looked supple enough to me and on good form. Good luck for regionals xx

[@marionwigzell7334]

Well done Miri, love HRH. The dog bringing the apples, so gorgeous (-: Marion

[@jeniferrinehart1107]

Congrats!! Great to see Obi less turbo charge! 🤣. All the best at Nationals!!

[@PotatoQueen1989]

I think you and Obi did fantastic, he looked amazing and like he was really listening to you and that trot where he flicked his toes was just great ♥

[@christinemartindale8715]

Hi Miri, Kenco and Indie look very well she has grown so much wow. Aweeee she loved her little shower that was cute. I thought you and Obe did very well in the test so chill out you’ll be fine deep breaths and yoga.tfs😎

[@gigracer]

Well, technically it’s the morning for me... it’s 3:10 am. Wishing you a wonderful experience at Nationals on Friday!

[@nancydonahue4256]

The apple retrieving - that’s pretty great! Obie looks great. Best of luck at Nationals!

[@ginnyferguson3772]

You did so well and Obi is a legend, love the foal 's 1st bath!! 😍

[@karenharvey112]

Thank you yes!!! Enjoying your videos!! A kiwi fan!!

[@kathrynmorelli5226]

Phantom of the opera , yea baby!

[@clambe2590]

His free walk and medium Trott up the centre line was 👌 lovely test all round! You should be super proud of yourself and him💖 I would be disappointed in the judges lack of effort! I had a judge similar at my last test, so understand how you was feeling.

[@jesssharp204]

Your life is so busy you handle it so well plus I’m a new fan!

[@jackie695]

[@naunettemartin7450]

[@daughterandprincess]

[@daughterandprincess]

OMG your dogs getting apples!!!!! Brilliant!!

[@DaWongStar]

Lovely video as always, with all your girls, doggos and of course HRH himself.

[@rachelnewton5128]

Loved it. Love watching you and obi. Love it that you are teaching inde so much. She is so adorable. You train your dogs as well as you train your horses lol 🍎 😍

[@tallulakelly734]

Best of luck for nationals!!!!!

[@mizboom]

It’s such a joy watching you and your horses. I feel like part of the family, the way you talk to us. Are there any yard news to be had?

[@kathrynmorelli5226]

Nicely done turbo cobb my hero:)

[@Shikelya]

So happy for you that it went so well this time! It looked so graceful. Thank you for sharing your experience and your thoughts =)

[@naunettemartin7450]

That's is so good job

[@kooki85]

How cute is Indie? She's amazing. Obi is such a cool dude too.

[@sidney_eventing1649]

Your dog is too cute 🤣 she goes and gets the apples 😂🤣

[@molliesydenham5269]

Best part of my Sunday🥰🤩🐎

[@raythegoth]

Welcome to Miri's toilet trips haha honestly love how open and honest your vlogs are! It's truly refreshing! I personally found Ralph's commentary very useful ;P picked up plenty of tips haha Did the judge have a writer with them? I imagine it's hard judging, keeping score and writing comments down without a writer. Just a thought hehe perhaps that's why your sheet was a little vague. Very frustrating though when, like you say, that's kinda what you're paying for but with COVID restrictions perhaps they aren't allowed a writer with them? Either way I thought it was a fab little test. Obi is my favourite ever. I love him so much!

[@jaybennett2628]

Was fantastic watching, always love seeing you at keysoe i used to work there so know the place :)

[@naniqueoliver412]

What is the link for the Hydrate please? He looks amazing 🥰

[@stuffstuffstuffyay]

Fab vid ma dear!!!

[@annaporter538]

Well done 😊

[@coragreer4426]

First comment!!! Love you and all the pony’s!!

[@lynnemorris7516]

That score sheet is extremely lazy by the judge, she, he is their to encourage not to deflate, just very very lazy.

[@amsshadowhunter9350]

I'm so happy for you!!

[@akbdressageandsofttissueth8744]

Did you find a new yard to move to? X

[@andxc1]

👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@akbdressageandsofttissueth8744]

What scores did you get for your medium? Love your videos.

[@lisajames4150]

Yep strange there wasn't more comments especially for the marks under 7. Oh well. Lovely test. Nice 3 beat canter 👍😀

[@pernillejensen1041]

what kind of hydration powder do you use to get your horses to drink at shows? :D

[@beachbumetta]

I was just wondering about Mo and the foal she fostered after her loss. I don’t recall if you ever said what happened to the foal. Do you still have it?

[@pippakay7234]

So pleaded you felt so much more relaxed and i thought Obi did really well much better than the test showed. Try and make the same time to do your yoga and mindfulness before Nationals, it seems to have been very productive in this last show. Sorry to hear your chaps got taken. It's so sad people feel the need to behave this way. Zora looked really good when you were in the sand school. Everything seems to be coming together horse wise. On a lighter note - didn't little Indie react well to the water.🙂🌞👍

[@kippen64]

It's 3.38am. Definitely morning.

[@fleetskipper1810]

All in all, I thought he stayed very connected and in front of your leg the entire test, at least from what I could see. He looks spectacular right now. Well muscled, nice top line. A spectator can never tell because the filming always has to be done at an angle, but it seems like sometimes you don’t quite go over to the boards in your geometry. You go nice and deep into the corners, but on the straight, it seems like he could get an extra step over toward the boards to use the arena just a little bit better. Is that true, or does it just look like that on the video?

[@ghirardelli1597]

Hi! What is the hydration stuff that you use?

[@emilywalters3079]

When does your new lorry come x

[@donnajeffery8267]

How are you supposed to work on things that the judges say if they don’t leave any comments for you and i thought that is what gun dogs did for the of season when they are not collecting game and Inde is getting so big

[@foxyember]

It is morning when it posted for me it is 10 am 🙂

[@naunettemartin7450]

I like it and you ride nice

[@JustHorseyMie]

It is so frustrating when you don't get feedback or explanations for why you got a certain score.

[@karenharvey112]

Hey don’t vlog... but have someone record you before and after but during with no questions we are keen to see !!

[@HankMacGregor1]

Have seen my horse Snaggletooth McNasty.

[@jessicaandrews2056]

Tip for no chaps use a horse bandage 😉
