Live your life with passion,

Was inspired by / @ilovemyhorseaustin12 to make this video, please go and check out her channel!
Decided to make a journey video right from the start to now. The first clip was taken 3 years ago. I was terrified of jumping crosspoles, anything above 70cm made me want to cry. As time passed I grew more confident. I would not be who I am today if it were not for Becki, she practically taught me to ride. And of course without these amazing ponies I’d be no one. They’ve all taught me so much and I can’t thank them enough for that. And thank you to all of you for your support over the years. Even to the haters, thank you, your hate makes me stronger.
Ponies in this Video:
Dreamer
Bob
Joey
Ziggy
Nero
Evie

I know this video is really old and no one will probably read this, but this video truly inspires me. I'm almost 15 and I've never learnt to ride a horse, yet I've always felt this love and connection with them. Every time I drive past a horse, or even faintly smell the scent of horses, i get a smile on my face. I've been begging my parents for lessons my whole life but of course time and money always weighed me down. We're finally at the point where we can afford to get me lessons 3 or 4 times a month but my parents are still convinced this is just some kind of "pony phase." I've educated myself so much on the equine world. I can name and identify so many horse breeds, I know how to pick a horse's hooves and how to groom them. I know names of all the tack. I know so much for someone who has never ridden. My goal in life to to one day live on a farm with 2 or more horses among other animals. Watching this video motivates me to show my parents that this is what I want. I'm starting to make my own money for lessons, and I'm starting to help out a lot more around the house to show that I'm responsible. Now it just feels like the waiting game... Thank you for making this video

[@coolestpersononearth.]

Holographic Rainbows it inspired me since march 2016 and everytime i come back and search for coments like yours and try to find the motivation for my riding. I hope you will get the possibility to take more lessons. But always remember, its a progress with ups and downs. Even when you feel like you'll never become better and just stuck while everybody is in progress... just remember it's a part of getting the rider you will become. It's always worth it🤗

McKenna Christine if you put your mind to it then anything is possible

[@mariambarry8076]

Mckenna Cristine yes horses made a difference in my life

[@horseymad22]

Mckenna Cristine I was able to pay for my own horse & all his livery/farriery etc at 18 earning only £4-£600 a month on a minimum wage job part time. I’m 19 now in a much better job which has made it a lot easier. My point is if you are passionate, there will be a day that comes that you can follow that passion fully, whether that’s next week, next year, in 5 years - you damn well can do it ♥️

[@ginasongjam1054]

Hi I have read your comment and I hope your dreams come true but remember that you have to start little and then work up

[@thegayprometheus6097]

I swear Nero was born to be a pegasus, not just a pony. The way he soars over all sizes and types of jumps, and even just in the way he moves when he canters or especially when he gallops just truly makes me believe that pony would rather fly than stay on the ground. Regardless, he is most definitely my favorite pony on KZbin.

[@ThereseMoser]

This made me so emotional, you've come so far Kate ahh crying my heart out here hahah you deserve it so much

[@siobhanfurey471]

always come to this video for motivation x

[@ellaequestrian4380]

Siobhan Furey same

[@alanafraser6581]

Same here xx

[@deiawhite6618]

Insperation to not only me, but the world. All that needs to be said.

[@myponybette]

I was nearly crying at this. You're such an inspiration to have come from where you were, and gone through so much to where you are now. I hope you go to the top because you really do deserve it!

[@simplyequestrian8099]

I love this speech ❤️❤️ I always get goose bumps and my eyes water 😂❤️

[@samie1253]

OMG THE GOOSEBUMPS

[@issy._.equestrian]

My sister needs to see this! She is having such a hard time with her intermediate show riding type and has come to the conclusion she wants to sell him. She has waited and tried not to as she didn’t want to give up on him. Omg I am in tears!

[@maddie5777]

Usually hate progression videos but this is seriously inspiring. It's amazing how you can adapt to every horse you ride!!

[@rubyn.equestrian9494]

I don’t care how long ago this was posted , this really has inspired me. , I constantly feel I’m not getting anywhere but I come and watch Kate and think , one day if I keep going I can become something half as good as her and I will be happy ❤️

[@SophieMEquestrian]

You are honestly the best rider on KZbin Kate. You started 3 years ago.. 3 years.. In that time a lot of people including me are still doing small courses.. Your jumping at POYS.. Your incredible. You have so much bravery and confidence and I wish I had that in my riding. Carry on girl can't wait to see where you are in another 3 years, woah. X

[@longtimestuklat]

Never sell Nero!!! You are made for that horse. He doesn't look like the easiest horse to ride, but you always look so calm and you really bring the best out of him. I'm so jealous. He's my favorite horse on youtube and you are the perfect person to have him! He looks like he literally takes flight for a second when you soar over a jump. I've never seen a horse that small jump the way he does..he's one of a kind.

[@bobutler4423]

Everybody says cobs can’t jump, but they can. My cob jumps 1.1 and is aiming to go higher. Keep going Kate with your other horses. I think you should buy another cob xx

[@seapony3101]

I know this is an old video and ive seen many videos with this audio but this one is truly inspiring 3 years ago i started jumping and boy has it been tough for a year i was at a barn with a rude trainer that would pic favorites and i was not one of them she wouldnt let me ride any horse other than a pony that was 29 and i was jumping 2ft on him i loved him sure but i knew this was wrong so after a year i switched to my current trainer and i started out ring a clydestale cross that was a dream she tought me so much i leased her until november 2018 and started leasing my pony i definitly could say i found my heart horse she is my life no one else rides her as she is such a difficult and naughty pony my trainer wants me to buy her and i do too but my parents dont want to as they have not had the best history with buying horses my older sister likes to remind me how tshe isnt my own and that my trainer could sell her anytime but i will never let that happen she has helped me with my depression and she is the best thing to happen to me ever i would die without her i will never give up till i can call her my own qnd thats a promise

[@elliegreen7966]

I always come to this video when I need inspiration. Thank you.

[@Kas112223]

Your story always gives me so much hope, I only stopped riding in riding schools this year (god am I glad I did stop) and if I can get half as far in a few years as you did I will be endlessly happy :) it's amazing to see how hard all your ponies try for you all the time and to see the amazing results you get from them and the passion and love you have for them and the sport. Stay fabulous, Kate

[@eviebaileys5041]

Omg this is so inspiring I'm almost in tears I've finally got my own horse after 12 years of riding it's my big chance to do everything I've dreamed of! I'm loving every second I get to spend with him I hope our bond becomes as strong as yours and we become as successful as you one day! there as so many competitions coming up soon and the cross country is opening finally! I just can't wait to get out there and do it all love you so much!😊

[@ceryslamb377]

This has really inspired me, I've always dreamed of being a top level eventer, and I'm willing give everything I've got to get there ❤️

[@coolestpersononearth.]

it inspired me since march 2016 and everytime i come back and search for inspiration and try to find the motivation for my riding. I hope everybody here will have the riding as their true passion even in a few years and we can look back of an inspiring progress like hers.. I know sometimes it's really hard to stay positive. But always remember, its a progress with ups and downs. Even when you feel like you'll never become better and just stuck while eveybody is in getting better... just remember... it's a part of getting the rider you will become.

[@wizzteck07]

So amazing ! You're drive and passion for riding is admirable ! :)

[@eviesizer1204]

this video was ages ago but i am going to show my friends that dont have horses in their lives that this is why we do what we do this is why we get up at stupid o clock to muck out stables and this is why we scrub buckets loads and dont go away from home loads because horses are the best thing that ever happened to me and clearing that fence or perfecting that dressage test or galloping down that beach or that field is the best experience i and many ither riders could ever ask for im so happy im not the only one who there life has to have horses or they feel they have no other meaning in life, thankyou

[@truebloodedequestrian5001]

Wow! This video is an eye opener! Love all your videos, this is so inspiring! xx love you all and love your videos 😘❤️

[@doodleagility5716]

I just want to say thank you. Your video came up on my suggested videos to watch and honestly your video is so powerful I can't thank you enough because watching this has made me want to ride again so badly! I haven't ridden in over six months and I've never felt so motivated to try again. I had my confidence knocked badly and just seeing this video has shown me how badly I need to ride again and how I can't give up. Thank you for putting things into perspective for me without even trying! I love your channel! ❤

[@abbieequestrian4943]
