I haven’t watched this yet but just wanted to say, the photo you’ve used for this vid is absolutely gorgeous! Really amazing. X

Two fine young women bringing Rufus along - can't wait to see it. So much can go wrong with horses it is an absolute miracle that we are able to get as far as we do with them. Thanks for the lovely update Olivia!

[@leanne.c]

So excited to see Rufus with Miri and then you again, what an exciting experience for him and you and also so cool for the KZbin people to see the “collaboration” between you both 😂

[@jhorvers]

Loved the update! Chief is still as handsome as when he was born.. 😍. That other yearling is freaking massive!!! Stunning... Super sweet... But absolutely massive! What did you feed him?? 😂 I'm sorry to hear what happened to Bee... I know you were really looking forward to an amazing future with her competing.. But sometimes things just do not work out like we want them to. I did notice she wasn't coming by in the vlogs.. But you also vlogged less than before so I figured she would come back in the vlogs when there was something "new" to tell or show.. Didn't expect it to be this news though. You gave her a great "alternative life" and I fully understand that you can't keep every single horse.. Especially when they can't be ridden.. It costs so much money to keep a horse well fed and looked after in the correct way.. And this is a great solution for her as well as for Barbie. That little gem Wil be a handful in a few years.. What a beautiful little filly! I just love her personality ❤️

[@helenalewin2586]

Loved seeing all the horses! Excited for Leo and your future

[@charmich3627]

Yea! when I opened up my feeds you were on the top on my list ...thank you for the horse update, so many changes and emotional ups and downs..so happy to see your vlogs again and can't wait for the next one :) :)

[@sarahwales6276]

Love your vlogs Olivia! They always cheer me up!

[@syzygyfarm]

LOVE Miri! That's a great idea and I am looking forward to seeing how he turns out!!

[@nerosiskou04]

So glad to hear you've put one of your horses' barefoot! You are such an open minded rider in a discipline that tends to be more "old school", very classic and not very open for change. Would be cool if you could bring him up to grand-prix still barefoot! I know of one rider that has a grand-prix barefoot horse, it's not impossible like a lot of people may think! 😉 Although not a fan of the "classic" equestrian world i always like to tune in to your vlogs. You've grown a lot as a rider and trainer over the years! Hope you keep making progress with your ponies! 😊

[@maryallen2603]

Lots has happened!! Absolutely love Jem💕. Happy to know Barbie is happy. Thought she showed promise before your injury. All is well with you your family and horses. Lots to look forward too!!

[@jimmyrid1]

How lovely, Miri is fabulous! You two are my favourites xx

[@jeffharper6259]

Great video Olivia and your editing is quite good as well (I'm 61 and I watch a lot of videos). I have been a subscriber of your channel for a while now and yet I only just noticed your subscriber count. I am sure you will continue to grow once people discover you and tell their friends as you are so personable. In the interim, those of us who have already found your channel are enjoying it and eagerly await your next vlog.

[@away_withthefairies]

Omg what a lucky horse being backed by Miri 😍😍😍 properly setting him up in the kindest way to be a confident and happy ridden horse. Also loving the barefoot part - all mine are barefoot and i strongly believe that so many horses would thrive barefoot but people sometimes dont consider it! So good choices all round today..well done 😅🤗🙌❤

[@dba750]

Thanks for the update, its heartbreaking with animals sometimes.

[@angiegorse1262]

Great vlog. It's nice to see an update on all the horses. So sorry to hear about Barbie and Bea. Mine have always been pets but I keep them to ride and can't afford to keep something as an expensive lawn mower on a livery yard so totally understand where your coming from and at the end of the day it's in the horses best interests. I love your mums honesty and bluntness. I too have trimmed my yearlings mane (hate scruffy manes). It was nice to see Miles, last time I saw him he was 3 months old at Romanno Stud with boy. You have some very nice young horses in the pipe lines. It will be nice to follow Rufus journey with Miri too.

[@wearefarm-ish4986]

OMG Yassss girl so nice to have one of your vlogs to watch on a Sunday morning 💚🥂

[@EliseRox235]

Such a shame barbie didn’t work out :( would’ve loved to see a pally come through the levels

[@elsa3128]

How lovely to see and hear about your horses again. And my beauty Eagle - not much to see of his beauty today 🤣 I hope he is doing fine now. And this cute little girl GEM. This is really one sweedy 😍.Thank vou for this Video!!!! Greetings from Germany!

[@jessmoody.23]

Cant wait to watch 💜

[@ellieashton519]

that picture to start the video is absoultley beautiful you should do a behind the sceenes of a photo shot xxxxx

[@christinemartindale8715]

This was a nice catch up Olivia I’m pleased your using Miri she’s a very good trainer I watch her vlogs too she’s also very passionate with her horses which I like a lot. You seem so happy and confident now and it’s lovely to see. Your cute foal is adorable I’m happy for you.tfs😎

[@debbieadkins2803]

Thank you for this video, I so enjoy your vids and your beautiful horses. I would love to see you ride your horses more often👍👍❤️🤍💙🇺🇸

[@DaWongStar]

Thats sooooo exciting you are using Miri Hackett!

[@davemelrose5848]

Great blog really enjoyed the up date. I'm an Og I remember breakfast time and banana pancakes 😊😊

[@mcrcequestrianakamoonchase9143]

I think we need a dog update Vlog. For those of us who aren’t always on social media like me, it looks like there are some dog changes. New dogs? Where did the doodle come from? Is your little scruffy guy living at your moms now? Is the border collie mix the boyfriends? The dog lovers need to know. 😜

[@jilldickson4352]

Bless you I can talk for England to. ❤️

[@alisonwilks302]

Great video , mums hair looks good , work it mama ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️

[@avalon8852]

I own two from same line as Leo! One (he is 22 now) is a direct De Niro the other is a six year old from the same line out of Dancier. They are both wonderful! I think you made a very good choice in Leo! (imho of course!)

[@kippen64]

So true!!! People don't like a lot of things.

[@vareharri]

So sorry about Bee (I suspect I am not the only one who noticed she vanished but didn't want to pry) and Belle too - horses are hard

[@TheNonMakeupGuru]

You know what would be really cool. There’s a British vlogger/gamer syndicate/life of Tom that’s always said he loves horses and farm etc. it would be really cool for you to get him out to the yard and give him a lesson while also making a video on teaching a beginner how to ride and safely be around horses/the farm

[@OliviaTowersDressage]

this is a cool idea!!

[@OliviaTowersDressage]

what is there insta?

[@amandadube5210]

Love joeys bridle! Where is it from/what brand?

[@Moppel9014]

What type of boots are you using on Leo please? Leo is lovely!

[@realisticequestrian8229]

I get the sense you connect best with geldings 💜🤣

[@tarasullivan101]

Hope you don't mind me asking, but with the two that are now surrogate mummies - do you sell them to be used for that or do you maintain ownership? x

[@TheNonMakeupGuru]

Most are leased

[@Thesa1019]

Olivia, you are such a great rider and Inspiration. It’s a shame that you are living in the „wrong“ country. I would love to get lessons from you. Could you once do an explanation video about: how to start flying changes, how to start piaffe, how to have the neck round but the shoulders up etc. it maybe would also be easier for you to produce such a video as you could do more telling and maybe less showing. But to show the cases would be great for sure.

[@louisetrimble3490]

Counting calories when I was your age taught me a lot, but is not the best way if you are trying to lose fat. There is good fat that helps you burn body fat and process protein. Add Flaxseed to your region and see what happens. Grind it just before you use it as it loses nutrients fast. I use my coffee grinder. And dont count the calories in it.

[@OliviaTowersDressage]

thank you.! i think i have some in the cupboard xx

[@PiffMimz]

Hahahaha I thought of Miri Hackett before you said her name xD

[@zoeilobowdery8778]

You found lovely homes for both your girls a lot of people wouldn't have your are extremely caring and kind and I have so much respect for you your horses are amazing and have a lovely mum and a five star home from Zoe in isle of wight

[@julesszzequestrian1658]

Are you having Tim Rusbridge break them again ? I’m his new work rider so would be very cool if you were planning on taking the yearlings back x

[@TheNonMakeupGuru]

Soo you clearly didn’t watch the video

[@kimwiley8399]

Did you speak about Salomon.....maybe you started to call him King? I think he was the same age as Roofus?

[@realisticequestrian8229]

No, he was pts after a traumatic paddock accident. Very devastating.

[@kimwiley8399]

@@realisticequestrian8229 ty, I had hoped that wasn't the case but suspected something bad happened.

[@realisticequestrian8229]

@@kimwiley8399 Very sad. I understand why Olivia didn't talk about it.

[@adrianscott6327]

Loved the update, not so sure I like the sparkle in the sass queens eyes when talking of castration though! Have noticed in a couple of vlogs you use a resistance belt to stretch and warm up before riding, any chance you could do a short vlog on what you do and how it helps you, being a 59 year old bloke just having completed his first ever dressage test, am frightened if I attempt any of your fitness videos, it will finish me off Thanks
