Dex is such a saint, but you're gonna need a bloody Clydesdale if he wants to keep riding 😂😂

[@helensmart8521]

Perch/tb cross is nice

[@NoThankUBeQuiet]

@@helensmart8521 Nope still too light. Full blown pulling horse

[@bluewolf_8284]

Friesian horse?

[@your.daddys.girl.5676]

nah a draft sounds good

[@LE123LE123]

I think Max is doing great! He seems very comfortable around horses-did he ever ride before meeting you? You’re a great couple!

[@HannahLucyequestrian]

No actually! Just loves animals and has been helping me a lot with them over the last almost year ☺️

[@singhnagra1540]

@@HannahLucyequestrian what's the horse height in inches

[@maxguehrer6356]

"Can you get something that matches MY leggings...." I thought I was riding the horse 🤔

[@coraautumn1130]

He actually did way better than I'd expect from such a tall guy!! His rise trot by the end was way better than at the start (big improvement for first time doing it)!

[@LE123LE123]

You did FABULOUS Max!! I can provide some help as an instructor who has taught very tall male riders: 1. Stirrup extendors-they will add length to your stirrups if they are too short and if you can’t find extra long ones. 2. Use polo wraps around your calves so you don’t get rubs. Choose thin one so they aren’t too bulky. 3. Because you are a volleyball players, you will need to stretch out your inner and outer muscles-do runner’s stretches before and after. Also, rotate your ankles before and after since you primarily are on your toe for volleyball. 4. If you can find a different saddle that will also help position. Max’s leg is so long, I think he’d need an 18.5 inch seat. You did fantastic! I just can’t believe how tiny you make Dex look. FYI-I love my Charles Owen Hampton too! Best helmet ever!

[@claudiajones9968]

He makes Dexter look like a pony😂

[@sophiem8451]

Ahahahah the desensitising part I can’t 💀

[@olamaynor31]

The horses suffer when equestrians don’t do it😂!! He did a great job

[@rareece1000]

Soooo good!!

[@kippen64]

He did well.

[@thebudgetingcowgirl4113]

Haven't watch a video of yours for a while! Glad to be back!

[@Agw448]

OMG I LOVE THISSSS

[@TheEquiClubYouTube]

Great vlog. He did amazingly!

[@TarynAnnTibble]

It's hard not to correct them, they're working with your baby! I was helping one of the young kids to tack up at my yard, and by helping, I mean being taller than a 10yr old handling a 16hh horse, and it was so hard to keep quiet. I just had to keep reminding myself they have to learn to do it themselves, and they don't have the strength to tighten the girth too tight, or anything. It's hard, it's so hard.

[@inkwhiskers9948]

Lolol this was me with my brother. It's like you're trying to teach someone who has never been on a horse in their life and you go out there with thoughts of rider position and using leg aids and half halts and you've literally forgotten they don't know how to make him stop. You just forget how much you had to learn when you first started.

[@maxguehrer6356]

I feel attacked

[@BreechBodyy]

This was so much fun to watch 😂 Max is such a good sport! He did a great job. I hope he didn't feel too sore in the days after 🤭

[@chelseajean2608]

This has made my day 😂

[@abbymurer]

I can’t imagine the absolute massive horse he would need to take up his leg.

[@allid2849]

“You’re not brushing him?!” 🤣

[@dba750]

Hilarious vlog! Well edited, your imitation of a learner is probably how I look riding lol

[@katrinabrokus5410]

Love this! 😅😍

[@krissy9931]

Hahaha love it... also Max is right there is a fade in horse clips. You can fade out harsh lines. So e.g. along the mane, and if you leave the legs, you can fade those too. I always do full clips, but usually fade the mane area. However, ideally you have smaller clippers and they have to be adjustable in length of the clip. :-) Would be a fun video too: Max clipping a horse. Take care you guys! PS: Max seems very sweet!

[@styledbyjess9239]

Awwww Dex you good lad

[@robb1460]

@6:05. The Horse saying HELP ME!

[@BeccharaPalmer]

Some of your best work Maxxy! You too Hannah 😂 #patienceofasaint

[@kerraleewallace-tz1kp]

Well done Max & good job Hannah ❤. Has he improved in the last year? 😂

[@saffa_vanessa]

I honestly think that was handled really well :) Not many people get the feel for the rising trot as fast and although it wasnt perfect, its was his first time in the saddle :) Perhaps time to start shopping for a Clyde x or perchie x .. anything with a bigger barrel :)

[@hudsondonnell444]

He needs a Shire to ride!

[@callummartynbell2333]

Can you please make a video with Max wearing full riding outfit and riding Dexter?

[@anna-mariewoodcock9086]

Awwwwwwwwwww

[@e.m.lumesound1070]

What happened with your Antares? Did it not work out? The Equiline is so lush though, love that mahogany brown 😍

[@HannahLucyequestrian]

I’ve still got it! I just use it for shows/clinics though ☺️ this one is the everyday saddle

[@leilawitherspoon503]

I'm 4'11 lol 😆😂

[@Johnnie.Sam.Colby22]

HOLD UP THAT HORSE IS 16. SOMETHING HANDS AND HE COULD JUST PLOP A SADDLE ON HIM?

[@PeggyStentzCasey]

Why is the horse shaved in the front?

[@stonersiren]

how much does he weigh? is it actually okay for 6ft men to ride horses, like weight wise? i never knew that, i thought they had to be skinny and short af

[@heartpounds]

horses can safely carry up to 20% of their body weight. you don’t have to be short at all, in fact many riders are tall and they prefer a tall rider in equitation classes. i’m 5’9 but can ride bigger ponies because i only weigh 137lbs. as long as you are 20% or less of their body weight you’re fine

[@marybethhartup3146]

do better

[@DS-ky9dl]

Too much staring at the camera and smiling...looks very unnatural. Could not watch.

[@mirandap7737]

It's called vlogging, that's the whole point mate
