ATTEMPTING CROSS COUNTRY Snip's first camp

Will Snip love or loathe the cross country course? That was the main question on my mind when we headed off to Somerford Park Farm for Snip's first ever camp and cross country training.

Just want to say a big well-done to you and snip for giving x country a go. What an amazing change from the first x country lesson to the second x country lesson you had on the last day of camp. I'm sure in the end snip would make a fantastic event horse for you after a lot more training. Keep up the fantastic job your doing with snip and all of your other horses.

[@lilpetchannel]

Thank you! She definitely made huge improvements, can’t wait to see her progress further

[@JoeAcarnley]

@@lilpetchannel your more than welcome your doing an amazing job with all of your horses and just keep up the fantastic work that you're doing with all of your horses and the blogs

Her face at the end, trotting through the water just said it all - she loved it! That was the perfect opportunity to get her started.

[@Debbie-qo8so]

[@izarrame3437]

She are both so amazing ! Well done, you have improved so much you can be so proud. ❤

Lovely riding!! You have improved on Snip so much since your earlier videos. It seems like all the lessons and training on Percy are really carrying over, well done!

[@emmadm826]

Well sat on that rear! Your first fall looked like a fluke to me.

[@lilpetchannel]

[@user-ur5yq4ix7h]

Lovely paces❤

[@user-zi6ug3jm5l]

you and your horse are stunning big well done!!

[@SammySoars]

You have my dream eq (and horse ❤) You rode so beautifully and sat that rear incredibly well, also at 29:40 where Snip shakes her head after the jump my pony Sammy does that too and just in canter as well, have you got any tips of how to stop it or why he does it x (you are my fav youtuber btw)

[@lilpetchannel]

Thank you so much!! I’ve found riding her forward when she’s doing it is the best way to get her moving into the contact and not taking a hold on the bit. If you pull back to stop her shaking she just does it more so I tend to just ride forward and straight and she tends to find she doesn’t have time to shake as much. Hope that helps x

[@SammySoars]

@@lilpetchannel Thank you I will defiantly try that next ride. We have him on lease and he used to jump like 1.10m and do endurance so is quite an awesome pony but I haven't got that much let's say experience, as i'm only jumping him 70cm now. In fact yesterday on my ride every time I tried to canter he first toes the head shake (that tip is very helpful because what ive been doing is pulling back) then he starts broncing and then comes to a sudden stop and going from canter to halt in half a second is usually which gets me flying across the arena 🤣 This isn't very helpful because I want to be able to compete him in showjumping!! Would it be alright if I got it on video, to post and tag you to show you what he does? And maybe help me to stop it ❤Sorry for the long reply

[@kristinakocila4641]

Omg i love snip sm she is soo cute reminds me of my mare also a green chestnut

[@xxhorsevalleyeditsxx163]

All your horses are so pretty

[@steph120789]

[@lilpetchannel]

Thank you! Really pleased with her and just loving every moment in the saddle ❤️

[@user-eb9hb5bp5q]
