MY 4YR OLDS FIRST SHOW | OBI GOES ROGUE |. HACKETT EQUINE

[@ladycornish]

Couldn’t keep my eye off those clouds! Lovely experience with Zora and the Turbo Cob.. WOW!!

[@LisaPanton]

OMG your commentary is so much better than the music !! So funny without even trying. love it! wow look at Zora move at that trot!!!

[@baileighbrann3895]

I prefer your voice overs to music any day.

[@julen2380]

Michelle's reaction was just love..."never seen anything so hilarious in my life". That woman is just awesome. As are you and jolly Obi and incredible Zora. Oh, and I actually prefer the voice overs to music.

[@Ingridlosneslokken]

I'm so happy you found Zora! 😍

[@alanathoms8447]

Love the voice over. Really helpful to know how you feel!

[@jillycannan6243]

Obi was hilariously scary with the music. Well ridden. Bless him💕 He sooo looks like my boy Casper who I lost to Colic last week. He also was a super horse

[@lilspaz68]

I personally love the voiceovers more than the music, your reactions can be hilarious and also very educting :)

[@jennielaw6329]

Yes me too! 😊

[@danatompson4658]

I'm just binge watching your channel and have to agree with the others- the commentary was great! Made me giggle listening to your reaction when they were being naughty. I bet you were glad you took Obi out for a practice run somewhere before nationals...or maybe it made you more nervous because he was having an off day? I tried *one* dressage test with my gelding as a teen and it was a disaster 🥴 Love watching your guys, though! I thought Zora looked gorgeous at the trot in the warm up ring even though she was a little excited. It definitely looked like she was adding a little extra swagger for the other horses to see lol

[@emh4853]

The voiceovers are awesome!!

[@leanne.c]

That medium canter (if we can call it that) made me actually laugh out loud... Obi really went zero to one hundred! Well ridden either way, sometimes they just have those days were no matter the preparation things will go wrong. Oh Obi 😂

[@according2her]

Love the voice overs, so insightful!

[@pippakay7234]

Oh my goodness what a sassy pants Obi was so full of himself but your experience of tests won the day. As for Zora what an amazing horse, you would never have known this was her first time. I think you've got a little star there Miri. Well done you.🎈🎈👍🎈🎈 Forgot to mention you looked amazing in that geeen top it's definitely your colour you need to wear it more often.

[@beckyjones5722]

Zora's trot is like she is skipping on clouds! She is going to be such a star!!!

[@besseboo101]

I really do prefer the Voice over on the test and warm up! It really helps me, as a beginner, understand what I'm watching and learn form your experience! love this video! x

[@shutterchick79]

I'm glad I watched this video. I hope to be starting low level dressage sometime in 2021, and this is an "expectations vs reality" reminder for me. Especially the unexpected low score on the 4 year old, and the unexpectedly high score on the black/white horse. The judging in dressage seems to be somewhat subjective, I notice, so I need to keep that in mind when I start competing. Also, the reminder to not let low scores get you down, and let them push you to work harder to get better.

[@debbieadkins2803]

You did so good, and your horse looked beautiful👍👍❤️🇺🇸

[@luizafonseca_]

I love the voice over! It's easy to follow what's going on and so we can learn a bit from all of it! Zora is a super star, love her 😍

[@styledbyjess9239]

Turbo cob living up to his name... just a bit more "turbo", same amount of cob. 🤣🤣

[@marogers01]

I haven’t laughed out loud so much watching a dressage test. Well done Obi!

[@sunbmr73]

I loved the video and your comments made me chuckle through out.

[@lizzyrbits1283]

What an exciting day! Obi is a bit of a freight train! I thought it was a great change for him to be high strung in a positive way rather than how he used to get nervous. Yes he had IDEAS about bolting, and it didn't make your ride very easy, and it certainly wasn't as polished as you've come to expect from him, but it's far better than his old worry and stress at shows! Zora was mega! I know she was worried and the flashiness in warmup wasn't a good thing, but she really has the moves! And she did SO WELL in the ring! Then to top your day off casually broke her halter :) never a dull moment! But really I think you handled everything so well! I'd love to see Zora at her young horse show!

[@beckyjones5722]

Look at OBI face you doing warm up????? He is like REALLY???? xxx

[@beckyjones5722]

Not saying this not warranted! He was being HELLO IV ARRIVED!!!!! x

[@sherrieshatzen3801]

What seems clear to me is that Zora has a lot of trust in you and you have built a lot of trust in her. So when she goes very high energy and needs to blow off some steam, you trust her to come back to you. She trusts your direction and after she comes down and returns to you she responds beautifully to your asks. Imagine what she will look like in a couple of years!!!

[@charsparks3513]

Miri I absolutely hooted at this test! You do such a fab job with all of your horses, I watch all of your videos religiously! But this test was an absolute corker... We've all been there. Xx

[@stuffstuffstuffyay]

Congrats!!!!!!!!!!!🎉🎊🍾🎈

[@bernadettedoyle3226]

I’ve never watched Obi being “naughty”!! What a clever “little” man, keeping you AND THE JUDGE on your toes! 🤪🤣 Seriously, well done with both beautiful equines!! ❤️😁❤️

[@battymare]

The voice overs are great, particularly when you are telling us the score and comments as you are doing the movement. Lovely debut for your baby horse, well done. X

[@Funnythings29]

Zora is just amazing, as a 4-year old she did just great!!!

[@veronicasmith1147]

Yaaaaa well done🥳💥💫🥰🇨🇮

[@jilldickson4352]

Congratulations Miri and Zora. ❤️❤️

[@christinehuewen6108]

I absolutely love your vlogs. So honest and informative. I have a 16 year warmblood mare who I bought last October. My first horse in 40 years (I'm 62) so a long break lol. She has been a challenge but I absolutely adore her. I have learnt a lot from you. So thank you so much x

[@maddielaidlaw7666]

I LOVE the voiceovers!!

[@sues7589]

Very entertaining. Thank you for going the extra mile and making these videos.

[@IvyWhiskeyDram]

Super girl!!! Well done Zora!! She must be a wannabe spice girl, with all that girl power!! So thrilled for you. And Obi being a typical Lad, glad to be back out and feeling sort of special. I love his makings, his two white starts cradling his beautiful neck.

[@jeniferrinehart1107]

Oh congrats!!! You so deserve a lovely mare!!! And Obi....well, he’s a gorgeous boy even if he wants to gallop away! BTW, I really like the voice overs. 😊

[@ponyparty28]

I've always loved Zora right from the moment you first showed her on the vlog!! she is an absolute gem!! keeper always! :)

[@nolomoussy9407]

i love the voice over comments pleeease keep on doing that!!!

[@Equestrian81]

What a great show Mir. You must be very proud. And how lovely to have the love support of someone like Michelle. Looking forward to the next show vlog x

[@Llamalooker123]

Love the commentary!

[@mollyrootes7315]

I always stretch before I ride I would not look at you funny! Beautiful horse!

[@l2shark165]

Brilliant love Obi the turbo cob! i proper lol 😂

[@beckyjones5722]

Sorry I did chuckle! Wow you can really see his strength!!! He is one sassy cob! Well done not exiting and keeping it together!! x

[@saraknight]

This is possibly one of my favourite videos so far!! Silly Obi but you handled him well considering. Zora is a superstar🤩 you’ve done so well with her, congrats!

[@lutizi]

gosh, i feel like Zora can be an amazing eventer

[@daniellestrachan5495]

I really enjoyed your voice overs. It was great to hear your perspective.

[@joeypotter6051]

The voiceover was wonderful and so is Michelle's attitude, what a great owner to get to ride for :)

[@PotatoQueen1989]

Years ago i had a pony bolt with me in the riding school, funny thing is said pony was usually lazy, my riding instructor said if i dropped the reins he would stop, i never tried it i kinda like being able to stop, Obi still looked amazing, wow look at little Zora move, she is beautiful ♥

[@amberrose7023]

Zora’s hind leg action is super! She’s lovely!!

[@phoebiezacher2325]

Zora looks like a different horses since you brought her xx

[@kristinediedrich3311]

We love the voiceover bits!! Super fun video 😄♥️

[@melissacoleman5201]

You had said in this video that you weren't sure if we liked the voice overs, but I was laughing hysterically at your voice over. The horses were very entertaining and it made me feel better because my horses were both full of spunk at this past weekend. Thank you for sharing your life with us!

[@GlassDragon21]

First, LOVE the voice overs! Second, give Zora a HUGE hug, and your self a pat on the back for your work with her. Thirdly, I can't remember if you have have said anything about the makes of saddle you ride your horses with in previous videos. If possible please share what make, model and your thoughts and opinions on the saddles you ride with. Please. 😊

[@84Moori]

Well done! Zora - what a 🌟!

[@jenniferlehman2464]

Congratulations with Zora! As for Obi, having not competed since last year, showing that he's happy to be back is a good thing, I would think anyway. But I can just imagine that judges face as you were coming towards her!! LOL Have a great rest of your weekend. All the best from Ontario, Canada, Jenn.

[@dorothycoaleventing1567]

Can we just take a moment to appreciate how clean her horses are Like I could literally never

[@taniwolf2]

I love hearing the voiceovers. It makes more sense. zora was incredible. Can't wait to see her with more schooling. I love her.

[@jaynes8581]

Hilarious in places! 🤣 So enjoyable to watch both Obi & Zora 😍

[@annejarvis7002]

Loved this video. Obi must have put the fear of God into that poor judge - her life must have flashed before her!! You did brilliantly to minimise the 'damage' 😱. Looked like you must have had 'four weetabix breakfast'😌 to restrain Obi. Zora was an absolute star - she has a beautiful action in her trot. Many congratulations Miri. I suggest pectoral muscle workouts as well as 'glutes' - just in case!

[@nikkii9119]

Lol! Massive congratulations on both rides, and I have to say Obi’s “zoomies” had me laughing.

[@kiwi_cornish_dream1421]

Brilliant, I think this is you best vlog ever !!

[@peterthehorse8204]

Wow Zara really is a special mare !!! Obi is a lovely boy too of course ❤️

[@Katy.Lou.K]

Beautiful ride on both your horses. Obi was a bit jazzed eh!!?😂 You did a great job with him. Zora, lovely little Zora! You have done a great job with her! She’s growing up so nicely💙

[@sandrawheeler1521]

Zora is a bloody amazing baby girl, Showing her moves in the warm up.. You have done a brill job with her. Obi, better get used to that music...lol..xxx

[@JB-uc5qp]

EXCITED..... OBI words fail me what a freestyle king. Zora flashy little walk she's got there, considering she was in the wrong class she was a little poppet. Well done Miri all your hard work is paying off. Onwards and upwards.

[@Jennie_642]

Hi Miri, I think you did a great job with Obi, my horse is quite similar at times very strong and the half halt becomes non existent. I think the fact that he ended the test in the way he did considering how he started was a reflection of how well you rode. love your videos and thanks for sharing your journey and work with your horses. And I also prefer the voice overs to music too

[@kirsty4187]

I bought my first warmblood 3 months ago and iv never had a more willing horse, young too 😊💘 love your vids 😊x

[@Shikelya]

Congratulations to you and Zora for a fantastic first show! That was amazing. Thank you for sharing your experiences even if there are some little bumps like with Obi. I love watching your videos and the development of you and your horses. Thank you!

[@beckyjones5722]

Zora's trot is AMAZING!!!!!

[@jaydenamihantv7676]

The comments was So funny love it x

[@dorothybennett6596]

I'm so happy for you. Really enjoyable. Going from strength to strength. Xx

[@LisaPanton]

😂"spent most of the time trying to slow down" I have a 18h Show hunter, we do some dressage also, i also sometimes get "take the handbrake off" comments when he's hot, i dont for the exact reason you don't LOL. I'm like really hop on and try letting it off yourself 😂😂

[@lunamagicath1658]

I ride a 15hh school cob. When he goes HES OFF 😂😭. Another pony in front? Won't stop. Corner? Won't stop. Sometimes I have to pull him into the wall to get brakes but normally I just take the inside and pray for him to run out of steam 😂😂

[@aresblue8522]

Don't be so hard on yourself miri...he's exited bless him,he's a giant of a horse and you handled him well💗💗💗💗💗 Wow zora looks stunning💗💜

[@ingridholme8385]

You did fantastic with Obi -kept your cool, stayed in the moment, and improvised to gain marks! Perfect riding for the situation (and kinda nice to see him so happy and fit considering Covid).

[@Mspassionatevoice]

I love it when you do voice over! I wish more people would do voice over instead of music.

[@mashalogman2684]

love ur show shirt!

[@rachelnewton5128]

I love the voice over. I enjoy how you explain everything. Love watching your videos. Well done looking amazing x

[@pxxxxpsnck1419]

When you say bye after he bolts got me 😂😂😂😂

[@rotaylor2237]

I know so much how you feel, but I have a pocket rocket and not the speedy obi dragon. 😂 Thanks for letting me follow along and help me not be so hard on myself about the little things Miri. Means a lot, love obi and zora to bits.

[@Deegoodwillsculptures]

I loved your face with Obi, he was on full throttle bless him, it's been so long between shows you can't blame him, he was all excited, you still did ok I think, first day back working so he wanted a little fun 😉. Zora, wow! It just shows what a horsewoman you are! She did beautifully for her first ever show! To be so together for a 4 year old at her first show is just brilliant! I was truly so happy for you. She is such a chilled mate, she just takes so much in her stride, you have a winner there hun. So glad you had a happy day was lovely to see you showing. All the best for the future xx

[@GingerSnappy]

Zorra.... that TROT 😍

[@nicolabowley8476]

amazeballs.bless obi, letting the team down, credit to him, that he hadnt heard the music before.. and all the emotions of the day on Zora,, shes ace , i hope my youngling is something like zora's ying yang. i'm already getting that willingness and wanting to ovr please from my 3yr old IDSH ... i would really li eto bring her to you so we can together back her and go forward ... please reply

[@ChloePrice92]

my boy is only 15.2 but he's built very much like obi and when he goes, he GOES. it's a real heart in mouth feeling because there's just so much strength behind him and you just know that if he really felt like it he would be off and into the sunset and i would have absolutely no say in the matter!

[@chalc8882]

Great vlog!

[@tammybaker8577]

Have you ever figure out what kind of breed is "Obi"? He looks like he has Friesen in him.

[@aliceapples4794]

so happy that you managed to sort out your entry for Zora! little Indie is getting so big 🥺 also, i love the voice overs! x

[@Fitz.eventing.equestrian]

You’ve done amazing with Zora 😍 Obi’s such a dude love him!

[@Aquarium811]

Well done!! What brand tall boots do you have?

[@dba750]

Your voice over is better than music, and I can understand what's happening lol

[@millimcclure.equestrian5697]

Zoraaaaa🥵😍

[@solveigheidasteinarsdottir4194]

I sometimes wonder if some judges are blind. Like I understand they comment about the nose, but it is so obvious as to why you're holding him back a little bit. Like, if this were a completely relaxed test and you were holding him back for no apparent reason I'd comment on it too, but it is so obvious that he was being funny and you were doing your best to just keep him collected and with you the entire time. But nono, let the nose out Hackett, it will be so much better!😂 I think you managed it well, I love your videos😊👏🏻

[@emx2550]

Aww I love this Chanel watching this trying to chill myself for my ode tomorrow lol 😂

[@NewYearsBaby100]

Love every moment of this, thanks for letting me be a horsey person vicariously :)

[@JustHorseyMie]

I really liked the vlog! I love Obi, but man he is a like a bolting rhino.... scary. Why hadn't you ridden the test with the music before going to this show? Zora is a star! So in love with her. I think you did a fantastic job with both. I also love love love the voiceovers, so much more interesting than the music. Both the reflections on the Obi ride and the marks&comments on Zora's. Good luck at nationals.

[@april5666]

Bolting Rhino is an apt description; my heart was racing watching. Thank goodness you prevented him from careening right out of the ring and toward that glassed-in viewing area!!!

[@angelaprice3771]

loved the video good and not so good. thats horses.

[@scarletmurphy1234]

how i plait vlog ??

[@allysmith2284]

Obi def had his weetbix that morning 😂

[@donnajeffery8267]

Obi made me laugh don’t forget first show new music which obviously got him a bit riled up so the more he does the better poor boy and then Zora she was amazing first proper dressage and then she get thrown in at the deep end of a test that was one step ahead of where she is definitely one to watch to see her future and I think they both did amazing and you and Zora where definitely in the right place in the warm up all them bays and dark chestnuts

[@eilidhgarrett5504]

What breed is obi? I absolutely love him and can’t wait till I’m older to get a horse just like him! X

[@scarletmurphy1234]

where are your white breeches from !! zora is such a star

[@hackettequine2059]
