Ahhh I’m so proud of you...I’ve been here since the beginning and just wow your riding has improved so much and you’re such an inspiration too me. Thank you so much and keep it up!!!

[@LauraElsieGrace]

I appreciate the kind words! 😭❤️

[@_little_stock_eq_1548]

Ur so nice and don’t care about having the nicest most expensive things!! 🥰. all of the other KZbin’s I use to watch ( I only watch u now) are also getting the most expensive things at the tack store! But u don’t care about getting the most expensive things. U appreciate them and I appreciate that! 🥰🥰 I don’t like it when people are just saying how expensive there horse and tack and clothes are!! And your not like that at all! Thank you! 😊 I really appreciate people like u

This made my day! Thank you so much! ❤️

Your vlog was really fun to watch today. Lots of variety going on between jumping with Cloud and then the hack and finally ridingTheo. I wanted to say that when you rode Theo you seemed to be solid in the saddle. You really have gotten Theo’s rhythm down and when you ride him you move together like hand in glove. It’s amazing to see your growth as you improve. Keep it going girl! Loved the video...

[@LauraElsieGrace]

Thank you very much! Glad you enjoyed it! :)

[@laurelcox_]

Your channel is so inspiring. Lately, I've been feeling down about my riding. But watching this video reminded me how grateful I am that I have the opportunity and privilege to even go to the barn. Thanks.

[@LauraElsieGrace]

Thank you for sharing! Made my day! ❤️

[@JustJosh]

Great Video Laura! I'm a KZbin vlogger too so I respect all your hard work and dedication.. Keep it up!❤️

[@LauraElsieGrace]

Thank you! :)

[@kathrynschaller8875]

GIRL. Even from last ride in the indoor with Theo to this one is HUGE improvement. Your canters were lovely and that trot at 8:40 is flawless. I genuinely forgot you are in western tack.

[@LauraElsieGrace]

Thank you so much! I really appreciate it! 💕

[@bobjoe5457]

We’ll know the world is ending when Laura actually uses one of her saddle pads... 😂

[@LauraElsieGrace]

Ahaha, well it’s ending because GUESS WHO FINALLY USED THEIR VERY OWN SADDLE PAD TODAY?! Sorry, it’s just a proud moment for me 😅

How do you not have more subs? You totally deserve more and you are truly amazing 💕

[@LauraElsieGrace]

Thank you!!

[@rlaws367]

this video inspired me so much to get back in the saddle, after a neck fracture to my c2 last year; the thought of jumping again has been VERY hard to get past. Thank you so much for the inspiration!

[@LauraElsieGrace]

I’m so sorry you went through that! But glad you’re getting back into riding again 💕

[@peggyc1423]

Congratulations on getting back into jumping! You’re riding continues to improve. Cute outfit and I like the contrasting saddle pad instead of a matching one .🐎

[@LauraElsieGrace]

I appreciate it! 🥰❤️

[@ameliabrenes1428]

Cloud seems like such a mellow horse to learn to jump on!

[@LauraElsieGrace]

He’s been great!

[@izzyk1189]

Sooooo proud. All of us have loved watching you grow. X 🤩🤩🤩

[@LauraElsieGrace]

Love youuuu 💛

[@charlottegreen9581]

Another good option for riding pants for the summer are riding leggings! They are also a cheaper option! Kerrits have them and Ariat and a lot of other brands have them! I love them just for schooling rides. You looked amazing! You are going to go so far in riding and I am so glad that I get to watch your journey! Keep being an amazing equestrian and person in general! 💛

[@LauraElsieGrace]

Thank you for the suggestions! And I appreciate the encouragement 🥰❤️

@@LauraElsieGrace I'm partial! My first horse was a buckskin QH and my second (current) is a paint. One day I'd love to get my hands on a OTTB and a hanoverian

[@smallpetchannel7225]

Hey have u got any tips last time I jumped my horse refused twice and I fell of twice and then lockdown happened I haven't jumped in about 14 weeks and he went bucking mad

[@LauraElsieGrace]

I’m sure that wasn’t any fun, but try and think of it as a learning experience - what could you have done differently to stay on? Did your horse show any signs that he was going to refuse that you could have acknowledged? These are just examples, obviously I wasn’t there 😆 On the other hand, if it was just an off day where maybe your balance wasn’t at it’s peak due to being tired, or dehydrated, etc. (or maybe your horse was having an off day). Perhaps it would be easiest to regain that confidence if you think of it as an off day and that the chances of it happening again are slim. As far as tips for staying on (if that’s what you were asking in the first place) unless your trainer says otherwise, try and keep a really deep seat all the way up to the jump and of course keep your heels down and look up and ahead. If he does refuse, it’ll be harder to fall off. I hope any of this helps! You’ve got this! 🙌❤️

[@batgirl183]

Great job! You were amazing! I want to learn to jump once I am a little more experienced, any advice?

[@LauraElsieGrace]

Just don’t stress it! Jumping is honestly so much fun, and your position and everything will come naturally if you work on it in your flatwork 😊

[@equiififtynifty3413]

What kind of head mount do you use to keep your go pro on your helmet like does the strap have stickies on it for it to grip your helmet??

[@LauraElsieGrace]

It’s the head mount by GoPro. And yes, the straps are sticky so it stays secure on your helmet 😊

[@elisebenne]

wait how come you ride Theo in western tack and not English?

[@LauraElsieGrace]

I had a bad fall on Theo (I got stepped on, and couldn’t walk for 3 weeks) and it just really damaged my confidence on him. So my trainers wanted to start out in a Western saddle as it gives more support. We actually rode in an English saddle today for the first time in almost a year! 💛

[@elisebenne]

Laura Elsie Grace woah that must have been really scary but that’s great news that you rode in English!

[@LauraElsieGrace]

Haha, yeah. Especially since he bucked me off and then stepped on me 😆 But thank you! 💕

[@charlottegreen9581]

Will you be doing hunters with Theo, Or another discipline? 💛

[@LauraElsieGrace]

I’m leaning towards show jumping, but I still have time to decide! :)

[@charlottegreen9581]

Laura Elsie Grace oh fun! He looks like he would make a good jumper, and you of course!

What horses do you own ? or do you not own any

I own Theo. The other horses I ride are my trainer’s horses 😊

[@sherryhyde3329]

just curious how come u dont ride theo like any of the other horses

[@LauraElsieGrace]

I had a bad fall on him, which really damaged my confidence. So I had been riding him in the Western saddle to help regain that confidence. I’m starting to ride him English again! 😊
