Hearing myself say "I get really good vibes from him" at 6:27 not knowing I'd be bringing him home gets me every time 😭❤️

[@nikkigurd7865]

And when you said “I’m trying not to get too excited” but literally exploding on the inside 😂

[@RidingWithRhi]

[@scarletequestrian2130]

[@Anna-tj9ef]

I'm so happy for you rhi!! I was here since 35 subs and its been so amazing to see you and your channel grow. All the best for your new horse 🐎

[@RidingWithRhi]

Ahh it's so wild to hear from early subscribers! Thanks so much for joining us for the journey - hopefully much more to come 😍

[@esmee4881]

This makes me feel hopeful that one day I too will have my own horse Congrats Rhi!!

[@RidingWithRhi]

I hope so! There is no age limit for childhood dreams. Just takes a bit of planning, patience and some luck 🥰

[@charlotte-xq7sl]

Congrats

[@romyc5445]

nah haha super glad you found such an amazing horse! he's in the best of hands x

[@RidingWithRhi]

Romy 😭 that's so kind thank you so much. I have to stop myself cuddling him too much or id be there all day 🤣

[@celestinacowgirl9075]

Nice

[@claramora4524]

Yes. Agree completely with the emotions of the process. It was definitely stressful! But once you end up with the right one it’s so worth it. I agonized over getting mine, pros and cons lists and general blabbing to anyone who would listen to my very stressed thoughts. Haha. But now I don’t know why I ever questioned. He’s a freaking unicorn 😂 at least to me. Congratulations on finding Woody. This is a start of a beautiful relationship. And he’s absolutely GORGEOUS. (Mine are both pintos too ;) I’m biased)

[@RidingWithRhi]

Blabbing to anyone is honestly something I can relate to so much haha. And ahh you have pintos! Gorgeous.

[@bella-jo8zn]

I've just bought a horse and I can honestly totally relate to you, I found it really stressful and waiting for his vetting was awful haha!! I'd heard so many vetting horror stories I was just so panicked.. all worked out though! so pleased for you xx

[@emmablitch8949]

Congrats!

[@nikkigurd7865]

Aww he’s gorgeous Rhi! Well done! You both really suit each other, he looks really happy to be with you. Lucky boy, he’s going to have such an amazing time with you! Can’t wait to watch your journey together! So exciting! Xxxx

I am so unbelievably happy for you Rhi. Your childhood dream has finally come true. I keep saying it but he is such a handsome boy and I cannot wait to see you two progress together. Hopefully one day me and Hero will come and join you for a hack out. Enjoy every moment 🥂🎉

[@RidingWithRhi]

Yes!! You have to, that would be lovely ❤️

[@teresap3069]

Ahh I’m so happy for you I have Been watching you from the beginning Woody is gorgeous ❤️

[@equineelli2726]

Omg I'm so happy for u! He absolutely perfect! I hope for this to happen to me one day, I'm taking it slow, getting into college and gaining more experience whilst sticking to my loans for now, making new friends who have experience who can hopefully help me in my horse buying process, and then buying the horse! It must be one of the best feelings and I am so so SO happy for uuuuu x

[@RidingWithRhi]

That's such a great way to do it! I highly recommend sharing and loaning before buying your own and taking everything one step at a time so that you can plan and get it right when the time is right for you.

[@mylesprior1534]

Are you still with Ted? So happy for you! You deserve him!❤️

[@blathnaidmajellawatters5902]

New here - great video! Hope it goes really well for you & Woody! I got my first horse last summer at 30 years!!

[@RidingWithRhi]

Welcome! Good for you 💪🏻 I honestly feel like it's such an awesome experience buying as an adult. 🥰

[@annahill1982]

used to have a boy called woody woodpecker! super excited for you he's gorgeous xx

[@pollydavidson8484]

What a gorgeous boy! And what lovely sellers, you could tell they really wanted the best home for him, and wanted you to feel totally comfortable💕

[@RidingWithRhi]

They definitely did !

[@noosterj5670]

Awe I'm so happy for you! Did Ted go back to his owners? Xxx

[@RidingWithRhi]

Thank you! He did ☺️ Ted returned to his owners at the start of the year and I've been looking for my own horse for several months now ☺

[@thewurly19]

Congratulations on your beautiful boy 🥳😍. I also just got a new horse and I really was surprised how stressful the whole process was. But definitely worth it in the end. Have fun and stay safe x

[@lu6176]

Been waiting since 12:00 🤣❤️

[@avacollins7595]

oh my gosh just saw your tiktok about him and then you came up on my recomended ! ive been riding for 8 years now and have been looking for my own pony for three years now, turning 16 soon so i really really hope i find one soon. woody is gorgeous best of luck with him

[@klementinai]

I am so happy for you, Rhi. I'm just starting out with this whole equine world and it makes me so excited to see how I will grow and one day I'll also be able to buy my own horse :) Wish you all the best with Woody and I'm here for your future contents :D

[@RidingWithRhi]

Thank you ! And welcome ☺️🙏🏻

[@lanelewis1154]

He’s so lovely! You two make a great team :) I’m also in the process of buying my first horse, and I relate so much to the struggles you had😂

[@RidingWithRhi]

The struggle is so real honestly! Keep your head up.

There is no better claim to fame than SEU

[@InspirationEmPire25]

I’m 23 and my parents and sister bought me my first horse.

[@NoThankUBeQuiet]

He looks incredible. Of course there will be a learning curve with the new horse but honestly he seems like a great fit for you. If you get on and feel confident that says a lot. Always go for the one that gives you confidence if you can.

[@RidingWithRhi]

Absolutely! At viewing stage for me it's all about temperament, the basics and whether you click. Everything else you can build on ✨

[@andi_b]

Wish I'd have done the champagne thing when I first got lexi lol but I'm so happy you've found a horse that's right for your & hes a really handsome fella x

[@inkwhiskers9948]

I know I was like you when I was looking for my first horse last year. I hadn't even been riding long so it was worse. I kept going, this horse is amazing! And then, no no, you can't let yourself get excited or you'll be devastated when he's not right. And also what if you have no idea what you're talking about 😣

[@kippen64]

Congratulations on your new horse. Horse shopping is stressful. Wish I was more like you. More sensible. I have an unfortunate habit of buying horses with major issues. Something that bothers other people now that I am in my late fifties.

[@irosepower]

“Woody Woodpecker” made me laugh 😂 He looks really lovely! Can’t wait for your upcoming videos with him!

[@RidingWithRhi]

🤣🤣 I always come up with the most ridiculous nicknames. Someone should stop me.

[@juliajulesiscool684]

@@RidingWithRhi I couldn’t believe you called him that 😂 we bought a foal in December, named him Woody and immediately have the same nickname 🤷🏼‍♀️ he looks such a genuine boy congratulations and can’t wait to follow your journey together 🥂🦄xxx

[@emilysharpe322]

Ah good luck. Wish I could make that leap from loaning to owning, but not at the right stage of life at the moment. I’ve been loaning for the last 6 years. Maybe sometime in the future.

[@fleaness918]

Thats the same yard I bought my horse from almost 2 years ago now.

[@sophiegellender]

Which yard is it Flea? Sounds really reputable which is always good during these mad covid times to buy a horse 😁

[@RidingWithRhi]

I'd rather it weren't shared on a public forum, just for privacy, but if you DM me on Instagram or Facebook Sophie (@RidingWithRhi) I'd be happy to share a few dealers that I personally liked throughout the process. ☺️

[@sophiegellender]

@@RidingWithRhi No problem, thank you yes please that would be super insightful 🥰

[@Twistfashion]

Congratulations!!! He's gorgeous and seems perfect! Can I ask what you do for a living to be able to have the time and pay for everything?

[@RidingWithRhi]

Thank you. I work in marketing but obviously have been working from home for a year. I choose full livery because it means I can focus the time I do have on quality time with Woody without compromising on his care. ☺️
