Obi is my favorite for sure. Hes just amazing.

Omg sameee he's so beautiful, love is neck. Thiccc boi

[@ashleygirvin1740]

Yay a Meet My Horses video! These videos are always great to do, especially for new subscribers to your channel. That tack room looks lovely; so many bridles. Zora is so cute, and has a kind eye to her. She seems so easy going, and lovely to work with. The backstories of each horse are interesting and lovely to hear.

[@BallylennonDD]

SO excited to see you working with Zora, I recently purchased a 3yo from ireland and I'm at the same stage as you are with Zora. Love seeing you do a day-by-day backing process, I find it super helpful. Also, just want to say you've been through a hell and back recently and I (speaking for your viewers) really appreciate you sharing the up AND the downs. You're doing so well, keep doing what you're doing. We support you and love you!!

[@sarahwales6276]

Beautiful horses! It's so nice to see someone who takes such care of their horses like this.

[@hp8893]

really appreciate the video especially in the face of everything you have had to deal with with mo this week - i am very excited to watch it!!

[@auroraborealis1726]

My goodness, Zora is gorgeous. Beautifully built. She’s going to be a show stopper!

[@kippen64]

Felt so jealous when you were training with Tim Stockdale. Did some training with the late Charlie Moffat many years ago.

[@debbieadkins2803]

I am from America and I love your channel, you are so so good with your horses❤️ have a very nice week, we support you and love your animals💗💝💖💘💕

[@Steph.Robinson]

Love your vlogs and always so informative, so jealous you got to train with Tim Stockdale, the closest i got was his twin Ivan was my horse dentist and couldn't have met a nicer guy, i did work for Geoff Billington cos he lived up the road from me, but he wasn't easy to work for, and i also got into Eventing which i was lucky cos my cousin in Ireland is a 4* eventer so i used to spend as much time as I could learning from her and her husband who is a xc course designer and eventer and then I got a job where I kept my horses and i learnt so much, but now my spine is crumbling so im having some time off but one day i will ride again 💜💜💜

[@peterthehorse8204]

Oh wow! Garswood is related to my gelding!! His dam sire is out of kyllacy which is my geldings sire!! Amazing 😊 I’ve been to chevely park and had the privilege to watch garswood and pivotal cover (pivotal my horses grandsire) ! Love the history and breeding !

[@Patti-1962]

I am really enjoying your channel. You are an exquisite rider, and are such a calm, patient trainer. Looking forward to more great videos.😀💖

[@JB-uc5qp]

Thanks Miri, Its great to know about some of the lesser seen horses, and the regulars. Zorra what a fab student she is.

[@Andreacollingsshukla]

Literally feel like ive just found you - i think you were on 2.3k and now you're at nearly 10k! Easily my fave person to watch, so well deserved! x

[@hackettequine2059]

Andrea's VanLife Diary Thankyou 🥰

[@wolfco47]

I love seeing you work with Zora. That calm you maintain as you work with her is almost ASMR. I can tell that the feedback between you and her is positive. It may all be new and somewhat scary to her, but your insistent calm demeanor seems to really help her understand that new is still OK. ... And, I wish you owned Obi as well. I don't know why, but he just seems like a really big beautiful puppy when carried through the camera.

[@oy2103]

The way you said “so hes far more interested in her” in such a sad tone while looking at the floor just made me giggle 😂

[@kriskcarmi]

very new to the channel but i really like your way of working with and talking about the horses! also always makes me happy to hear people keeping their horses after they've retired : ) will definitely continue to watch! i feel like i'll learn a lot from you

[@hopepascoe9912]

I loved this video , I love seeing all your horses ❤️❤️

[@ginnyferguson3772]

Great to see you happy again and enjoyed the formal introductions! It will be great to follow the developments of all your horses and your foal, I'm looking forward to the journey with you. Hope you are all coping in this extreme weather, Scotland is soggy and thundery no good for riding and possibly may ruin the harvest!! Good to know you do get some time to yourself! See you soon! 😍🏇

[@hackettequine2059]

Ginny Ferguson hope the weather changes for you xx

[@mizboom]

Thank you for this video. I’ve been watching for about two months now and needed exactly this to catch up!

[@WeAreTheMorins]

I just found your channel, I’m in Canada 🇨🇦. Your horses are great!

[@trinefj11]

i think zora is gonna be an amazing girl! shes so clever

[@melhayley6738]

Thank you for this vlog introducing your beautiful horses to us all, so glad to hear Mo is out of ICU she has been in my prayers for a speedy recovery and I will continue until she is back with you safe and well 🐎💕🙏

[@amandamannyhorselife7968]

I love your videos you're so relatable and Zora is extremely amazing she is truly going to be a wonderful mare what a lovely mind set she has all your horses are beautiful and I love watching your videos ❤️

[@lucymorganeq6050]

2:31 how many bridles omggggg love it!!!

[@Shikelya]

I was so happy when I saw you uploaded this video - I was inhaling almost all of your videos the last days (since I found you). Keep up the good work and thank you so much for sharing a part of your work with us! =)

[@aleanelson5377]

Currently obsessed with your channel❤️

[@felicitylayton174]

I have a 3 year old too, very different breeding lol as mine is a traditional cob called Stormy 💕 I have been lunging her lots and some of long reining and the other day I was leaning over her a bit and she was so so good! Xx good luck with Zora! She is so pretty and sch a good girl! ❤️😍

[@felicitylayton174]

Stormy had Thursday, Friday and today off 🙂 x

[@littleme6693]

Obi is absolutely beautiful 😍

[@pattymcdonald5156]

This would of been a dream come true. How lucky you are. They all love you.

[@raythegoth]

I am soooo in love with Obi it's unreal!!

[@GlassDragon21]

So happy for you and zora. Following your progress closely :)

[@jillycannan6243]

Great video. Thanks for sharing

[@anniedeklerk8858]

Obi is stunning!

[@8pinehorsemanship438]

Omg 😱 the 2nd horse is beautiful

[@TeriFelixREBroker]

Very nice job ... Zora is coming nicely along. I hope Mo is progressing to her full healthy self. When is Kenco’s approximate due date .. it will be exciting to take the journey with you. 🐎❤️

[@lizsteeds6697]

I'm sorry to hear you won't be keeping Zora and developing and producing her over her working life. She is an outstanding horse ... she just floats when she moves and her conformation ... WOW. What a beauty. Imagine what she will be like at 10 years old. Can't you bring on another horse to sell and keep her ? She seems to be an exceptional horse. Especially as you grow your You Tube channel ... you might find the means to produce another stunning horse alongside Zora and sell that one. Use Zora as your "Hackett Equine" brand 'standard bearer' so to speak ... the embodiment of your professional ability to produce a top notch horse. It just seems such a shame that you can't have the pleasure and satisfaction of realising her (obviously incredible) potential which, of course, takes years. I understand there is a commercial driver to your work as you are a professional yard ... not always able to indulge in the time/effort to produce your own horse but she really is lovely ... she looks and moves like she could be a once in a lifetime horse. Thank you for introducing all your other horses too. It will be lovely to see Kencos foal.

[@cantbebothered112]

She's her horse so if she wants to sell her she can sell her. You aren't in the right to even attempt to talk her out of it.

[@Velcro1997]

Hannah Marie Chill out.

[@cantbebothered112]

@@Velcro1997 you aren't my parent or the boss of me so don't tell me to "chill out*

Hannah Marie LOL. I love children. Weren’t you being a bossy bitch to the original comment? 🤣

[@ellie-pm9hp]

[@PiffMimz]

Zora is such a smart girl, and a real cutie

[@mdee860]

PiffMimz - I agree. Sniffles are as soft as a bit can be & you're absolutely right - it's all about quiet, gentle hands!

[@annikameret9611]

You are awesome!! Keep doing what you do 💖

Great video!

[@alanagill8041]

I’ve always had a soft spot for coloureds and Obi is just 😍🔥😍🔥

[@DressageQueen305]

Been hoping for this vlog since I found your channel!!

[@stephaniet.3331]

I feel like I’ve been waiting forever!! Love your videos and all of your beautiful horses ❤️❤️

[@Sakotyr]

Obi's unique face and convex facial profile combined with his neck makes me almost think he has possibly some Kladstruber in him. People sometimes breed them with lighter built horses for dressage and could possibly explain his color/coat. Has the owner considered testing his DNA to figure it out? Either way he is such a beautiful horse!

[@katieengels2256]

Also so exciting getting a glimpse into your busy but extraordinary life. Who is the other foal that was next to DiDi?

[@sandradee7725]

Your such a wonderful patient trainer.

[@aresblue8522]

Obi looks to me like he has Irish draught in him or a heavy show hunter cob🤔

[@addieh6935]

Wonderful video. All of the horses are so cute. ❤️🐴

[@lucasa1849]

People are doing the best they can with the knowledge they have at that moment.

[@mizboom]

What! Kenko is with foal already?! Wow, congrats!

[@hackettequine2059]

Miz Boom the vet day she was the most straightforward mare to inseminate and get in foal this year!!

[@reidchambers2521]

"large courses"? It may have been derby, but those fences were TINY.

I love your videos !!!!!!!

[@laurenpaige7274]

hello! i was wondering if you could give some insight on how to get horses comfortable on there own and hacking on there own , i have a 7 year old cob who struggles with being on his own ive tired various things!! and your ace btw ive learnt a lot just watching these videos! all the nitty gritty things most people don’t think about when having a horse! thank you! cc

[@Velcro1997]

I’m in love with Obi.

[@karenzielke9387]

What's the story behind the Hollister, CA t-shirt? Such a small town, how did you find it? Enjoy your videos.

[@hackettequine2059]

Karen Zielke it’s a brand in the uk. And a really old t-shirt 🤣

[@wolfco47]

Hmm.... That is actually a brand name reference rather than a direct place reference on the shirt she is wearing. Just google Hollister jeans and the company will come up. They claim to have the Hollister, CA vibe as a clothing company.

[@ritalucio3893]

There’s an Olympic Dutch jumper that competed bitless. I get it, I want to get back to riding after a few years of not doing it and I know I’ll have to do it with a horse w pretty much mouth completely shut... still, I hope bitless is the future. Even when you said that those who know how to ride with a bit it’s ok it’s not harmful, as a student you have the tendency to rely on the horses face so it’s really just not the best idea. With this being said, a lot of bits should be forbidden

[@LindaEll89]

Bianca Schoenmaker by the way, I know she jumps bitless and with neckrope. 👋🌞🇳🇱

[@emily5661]

Came here after binging all your videos over quarantine to see what breed Obi is so I can get one for myself. Typical that some of the most wonderful horses have completely unknown breeding 😅 If you can figure out genetic cloning you'd make a pretty penny producing Obi clones!

[@jessbayler5972]

Best part of a long day!

[@diary.of.a.equestrian1931]

That pinto is seriously beautiful! How many hands is he? Also he looks just like my friends Gypsy x Percheron so maybe he has some of that in his mix💜

Wish you would post some of your lessons that you teach or ride in. It helps to watch others riding in lessons and hearing the instructor as if auditioning a lesson/clinic. Maybe give it a try and see how ppl like that kind of video. I personally learn s ton watching others ride and listening to the instructor and seeing the horse and rider.

Is it just me or is Obi on one of Bailey's horse feeds?

[@sarahcote4724]

Obi is certainly very cob-y looking, so lovely and well put together. Such a shame his breeding didn't get recorded. I wonder what those horse DNA tests would put him as... Though they aren't always accurate lol

[@gillianlillis1984]

So do you run your business from that yard or do you work for someone? ie. are the breakers sent to you or the yard? Xx

[@mdee860]

Oooh nooo, don't sell Zora, please. She's so trusting & has such kind eyes. I hope you cut it off at 140 for jumps. Just because a horse can... doesn't mean you should. IMO, that's high enough. I used to attend The National Horse Show, final night jump offs, at Madison Square Garden, NYC. It has long since moved to Florida. The highest jump was 7' or 7'1" clear. The Judges stopped it at that point & I believe that is no longer allowed. There will always be Super Athletes, but I think constant high jumping is brutal on their bones. I am new to your channel but you seem very kind & thoughtful with your horses. Wishing you the best.

[@emma-eventing]

why yes, thank you, i will take one of each please!! ;P

[@debrabish1494]

Must clarify-Grey Lady jumped her plump butt all over Middleburg from our place at Colony Farm to hither and yon.A daily chore was to go fetch her.perhaps they will have to have mare and gelding turnouts at different times? Deb your horses?

[@aresblue8522]

Owww I thought obi was yours😫😍

[@leilawitherspoon503]

what breed are all of the horses ?

[@maggiecamp5369]

I wonder what a DNA test would tell you about Obi. Considering the amout of cross and out breeding of warm bloods, thoroughbreds and Arabs makes a DNA test inconclusive even. He reminds me of a large irish sporting horse, Idk I would have to look through some of my old books lol.

[@michellem8177]

what are your plans for didi!!

[@shelbyhuston8446]

What is getting backed mean?!

[@sturdygirl7772]

Shelby Huston teaching them to accept a rider on their backs 😊

[@JB-uc5qp]

It means being broken to ride.

[@eleanoraaacr3372]

It keeps on catching me off-guard when you mention 'Calypso', as it's the name of my mare. Ironically she's more similar to Zora in attitude; sharp and forward thinking (thankfully). Possibly more challenging to break but definitely easier to have a conversation with.
