JUMPING OUR BIGGEST COURSE YET // Showjumping Training Vlog

[@deirdremcguinness1052]

I love riding vlogs with voice-overs - it's great to know what's going on in your head! Very impressed by Dali this year, the difference is insane!

[@Patti-1962]

It still amazes me just how high off the ground you are at the top of the highest fences!! You are incredibly brave!

[@Rosie-iy2bv]

It seems like training Kahl he has taught you so much and you've improved as a rider so much with him, that you're able to progress with Dali with greater awareness and ability.

[@HollyLenahanSJ]

It’s taught me a huge amount and Dali is definitely benefiting from my experience with Khal. But the learning never stops, every horse I learn a lot from!

[@jag01730]

I’ve always said, that Dali is so special. I LOVE watching him progress, you do such an amazing job with all your horses. A true professional!

[@denisemaryheatherington5820]

Can't get over how Dali has stepped up , love these volgs as they are really educational and so much fun to watch

[@susangardner6348]

I absolutely love listening to you and especially watching you ride. The way you know your horses so well shows how much you care about them. Thank you for letting me a part of your world.

[@HollyLenahanSJ]

Thank you, I try my best ♥️

[@bethany6148]

You must be so proud of how far you've bought them both! Both looking great, Dali is really starting to improve now. Xx

[@eiry25]

Absolute top class, both of them! Fantastically produced Holly!

[@DaWongStar]

Wow Dali has made some huge changes lately!!!

[@jennydembovsky57]

Wow Holly. You are an awesome rider & trainer… I absolutely love seeing how far you’ve brought both boys. Keep these vlogs coming. I absolutely love them!! 👍🏻💕

[@annilionz]

Both boys are amazing !! Dali has improved so much & Khal makes 1.50m look like a walk in the park !! It’s also great to see how you critique & correct your own riding 👌🏼 You always inspire me to put my brave pants on & work on mine & Cals jumping 👍🏼

[@Sooonn13]

Fiona is such an amazing mare ... Crazy that she made these two guys so different but equally talented ! I wish you many other foals from her and a beautiful filly to continue the story

[@karensnow427]

Super job Holly, your boys are really performing! Looking forward to seeing a show vlog or two now! Great riding too.

[@jeniferrinehart1107]

❤❤❤. Love your boys and seeing you work on them and on you! Thanks for sharing!

[@katherinestead708]

wow, they looked amazing, Khal makes it looks so easy!

[@marybarak-uj9yj]

Your boys were great! Good luck with the remainder of your season!

[@heyaitskiar]

You make jumping such a big course look so easy. Just wow.

[@katywelsh2447]

Dali has so much more impulsion now, he's absolutely pinging them! Whatever you're doing schooling-wise is clearly working 🥰

[@KarenDNP]

Great jumping practice. Dali is looking good. Defensively his jumping looks more relaxed. And at least you got rid of the donkey!😂 😂😂

[@alisonwilks302]

Can't believe Dali , magnificent . Very bloody well done all of you xxxxxxx

[@cathythompson6872]

The boys really seem to enjoy jumping.

[@gonetoearthhealing8114]

Dali - omg, the giant is becoming this nimble-footed amazing jumper.. you really held the vision with him Holly, amazing to see your journey with him

[@HollyLenahanSJ]

I’m not going to lie, I doubted the vision many times haha but dad always had faith!

[@gonetoearthhealing8114]

@@HollyLenahanSJ aww good ol Dad!

[@joannesmartens9442]

Both did very well, and dali made a big progress, almost incredible. Good idea to go over there, so you can do entire courses. Kahl was realy confident.🥰

[@emma_and_a_horse]

Thanks for sharing Holy :) I enjoy your videos so much. I like the variety of the vlogging and the riding videos.

[@susanaufiero5071]

You looked great Holly - Dali is really improving he was coming back and moving forward beautifully and his form is looking great - Khal is such a super star and such a pro - I noticed you were very comfortable and relaxed and it showed w/Khal

[@cassia.weeks.]

Hey Hol, ive been watching your videos for a while now, and i reckon riding rocky has changed your riding a little bit. Ive seen you at comps on rocky (im australian, near kyneton) but im always to chicken to say hi 🫣. Kahl is such a incredible horse. his and your progress and relationship is incredible to watch.

[@HollyLenahanSJ]

Don’t be shy! I’m always happy to chat to anyone that comes up to me. Thank you ♥️

[@cassia.weeks.]

@@HollyLenahanSJ so sweet. If i see you while your here next i’ll come say hi ☺️❤️

[@danielabackstrom]

Omg Holly your horses are insane!! Congrats on bringing them on this well 🎉❤

[@HollyLenahanSJ]

Thank you! ♥️

[@TheBulle]

Khal, the myth, the legend ! ❤

[@janeminwell4395]

Much enjoyed, very informative, thanks Holly.

[@Katherinekirbydressage]

They are both looking super!!

[@teresagreen1385]

Amazing riding and jumping on both boys

[@HannaBostic]

I feel like I comment on every single video of yours but I’ve been around for years (subbing and unsubbing and subbing again because of some weird stuff not getting your notifications 😤), and I seriously cannot get enough of watching Dali and Khal. How far they’ve both come to both be near and actually Grand Prix caliber respectively. And from scratch! This is my favorite thing and what I always wanted to do. I had the best opportunity to learn at one point because I landed a job under John Pearce, who does the same thing, all his own producing all the way to Olympic level, and I wanted to do the same one day, but sadly his wife is acting manager and she’s awful and impossible to work for, so that was short lived….so I’ll continue to live vicariously through you Holly 😂 well done with these two! Can’t wait to watch Zephy one day as well, he seems (just so far) quite different in personality to these two! Plus the filly you have, I thought she looked beautiful conformationally 😍

[@HollyLenahanSJ]

Ah thank you so much for following along on the journey ♥️♥️

[@susan_brehm_art]

I love the variety of videos. 😊 This one is great. The boys are really doing well. Those fences are HUGE! 😂😂 thx for sharing all the things. 😍😍😍

[@DressageQueen305]

The boys look so amazing! It has been such a treat watching them grow and mature. ❤

[@Siobhan_Shivaun]

Khal is just a machine over the higher jumps!! ❤

[@elizabethedwards917]

Khal is such a smart boy. It must be so wonderful to have a horse who thinks his way through the course. Dali is coming along so amazingly.

[@jordyn0]

wow holly! i mean it’s crazy how well these boys are always improving! dali is jumping out of his skin during these 1.40 fences i remember when he was a 1m guy and it is just awesome to see him continue to improve his jump/ scope and ride ability. khal is just amazing all around kind of guy and loves what he does! he is such a crazy guy i love it! do you like bigger horses like dali or somewhat smaller horses like khal!!?? 😊❤

[@HollyLenahanSJ]

Thank you! I can’t get over him either ♥️ Honestly I don’t mind big or small. Maybe a preference towards bigger horses just because it makes the jumps look smaller when you’re riding towards them 😂😂

[@bromsonstud]

WOW! Khal is incredible ❤

[@Rosie-iy2bv]

Have you considered having someone else ride/compete Kahl whilst you're gone? Or you could have left him in Europe with Lauren, I can see him being such a highly competitive horse

[@HollyLenahanSJ]

I don’t think I would be able to afford the cost of someone to ride them that would be able to bring them on and be competitive in grand prixs. Plus it’s good for them to have some time off. Then my friend brings them back into work for me in the two months before I come back from australia.

[@lil-prttzan]

Love the voice-over!!

[@thinkingriding]

Nice!

[@filialpiety]

Well done! Khal is a superstar as always, and Dali has been so impressive this year! He is really growing into himself :) You are so good with them! I'm curious to know what you mean by 'sticky' over the fences -- I'm not familiar with that turn of phrase! Thanks for bringing us along on your schooling day!

[@HollyLenahanSJ]

Sticky is like a little hesitation on takeoff so it just doesn’t feel so smooth.. like their feet are “stuck” to the ground at takeoff

[@lonia.5283]

So nice👍🙂

[@GloryToGodAlmighty]

Khal looks so much more awake. He's a new man!

[@Jessie_438]

totally unrelated to the video but i just wanted to say you have really inspired me to pursue my dream of becoming a large animal and equine vet! i really hope to study at Dublin Uni once i graduate from Cafre if i get into the course this year ♥

[@HollyLenahanSJ]

Brilliant to hear! Best of luck ♥️

[@Jessie_438]

@@HollyLenahanSJ thank you so much! 🥹❤️

[@AnoukJanssen-hc8bz]

how many times did you say to be honest 😅🤣

[@Maisy514]

Are you going to the RDS

[@HollyLenahanSJ]

Yes, Saturday and Sunday ☺️

[@horsecare.skincare]

Both boys are incredible! It looked like great forward riding so well done! I think you have 2 Grand Prix able horses!! So exciting to watch!

Thank you 🤞🏽🤞🏽
