My Young Horse’s FIRST CANTER Under Saddle!

[@valentinemertova]

It’s so beautiful watching him grow, I must say he’s truly a good boy, so chill and calm, it’s very visible that he loves you and trusts you. And btw congrats on your pregnancy! So happy for you!

[@Bianka_Taylor]

Claire has done an amazing job raising him as you said he trusts her and is so calm and chill. This is how horses should be started with a trusting person who they can look to for help and trying new things for the first time. It is so amazing seeing his journey from being a baby to now being a 3 year old. I must say that I am very excited to continue seeing his journey.

[@Roo.eq21]

Ahh.... he's so good!!!!! No one would ever guess that your JUST starting him under saddle, I can't believe how amazing he is!

[@Bianka_Taylor]

[@warbler68]

i’ve been watching your videos since before i started riding. your video from years ago with rushton taught me how to tack up❤️ i love seeing your progress with oakley!!

[@beckyjones5722]

What a gorgeous boy!!! You are very lucky!

[@mksluv2go]

I’m so happy that Oakley cantered for you but the reasoned I came to this video was to learn the cues for a canter. I figured you being a trainer you would show them. I didn’t want to listen to music. Sorry, just my opinion. How a nice and blessed day. 😊

[@wendytaylor4030]

🐴♥️....That was So Exciting to watch! Claire you've done such an amazing job with Oakley since He was a baby! You should be very, very Proud of Yourself! There is SO much more ahead for You and Oakley I can't wait to see! Thank you for sharing such a joyous moment!🎉🐎....🐴♥️

[@kaylapearson294]

How is he canter so slow? This is ideal!

[@Bianka_Taylor]

It feels like yesterday that Oakley was a baby he is growing up way too fast but it is so amazing to see how much he has grown to be the amazing horse you’ve helped him to be

[@quadmasteratvimplements6480]

We have a dog named Oakley

[@LittleMangoes]

He’s amazing! Can’t believe he’s only just starting 🤩 btw what colour would you call his coat? It’s so unique but I still can’t figure it out lol 😂

[@claireeventing]

He’s a grey but was born bay. The brownish grey phase is called rose grey!

[@mariaarias1699]

Where are your pants from?

[@claireeventing]

I think they’re RJ Classics

[@bellagerling5035]

how many hands is he?

[@claireeventing]

Last time I measured he was 16.3h

[@addy9741]

What breed is Oakley?

[@claireeventing]

His sire is Contiano BF (elite holsteiner stallion) and his dam is a premium ottb mare

[@adriantreat1614]

Do you think you are going to keep him Barefoot throughout his career?

[@claireeventing]

I’ll probably throw front shoes on him when I start jumping him, but that’s a ways from now haha! Barefoot for now, he’s got pretty good feet so they’re not necessary at the moment.

[@fonjadidi]

So this is what can happens when you pair a good brained horse with a gentle kind trainer!

[@celestinacowgirl9075]

nice

[@Ashley-ww5ze]

He looks like such a lovely boy. Isn't he not even 3 for another few days?

[@claireeventing]

Yes, he turns 3 in a couple days! If you’re concerned or wondering why I’m starting him a little early feel free to check out my last video where I explain it all and go into more detail on what my plans are with him! 😊
