NATIONALS TRAINING, PREPARING MY YOUNG HORSE FOR HER FIRST SHOW | VOICE OVER | HACKETT EQUINE

[@besseboo101]

Every time you say “but I won’t take you along to that because you don’t want to see that”.... I’m like but I do! 😂 Love the video x

[@AdventuresofMegatron]

OMG that camel 😂 They’re v friendly these days.. *Chomp*

[@annejarvis7002]

Zora has such a beautiful natural action in her trot, gorgeous. Obi looks amazing - very straight down the centre line and a fab halt. They are both a credit to you. ☺

[@ponyparty28]

please keep Zora!! she is such an asset to you and you would always regret it if you did sell! beautiful mare and such a bright future ahead that you (yourself) deserve to be involved in!! :D a wonderful mare to do these voice over videos here as she is very clear and obvious for learning from her (as a viewer) :)

[@donnajeffery8267]

I so love your video 1 you say I will take you along for the important stuff etc and you would be bored with the other stuff I am like no we like to watch the nitty gritty of your journey and 2 I like the way you say Obi is going against his breeding but I see it as you are showing people how versatile cobs actually are not just plods or for heavy work 3 Zora is doing fabulously she looks great sometimes you forget how young she is and I hope you can vlog your shows would be lovely to watch them

[@zedy33]

So educational and lovely to hear you talking about each horses’ movements, how they felt and how you felt the various connections. It’s something I’m trying to always keep in mind as I get back in the saddle after a long long tome and re-educate my body language and understanding on a horse. Thanks for your work!

[@pippakay7234]

Miri that looked awesome from both horses. Zora did so well to get past that spook so quickly and what a star mover she is. Could be some good resultd mid week👏 Obi has cone on so much and as you said he seems so much more forward from behind. He looks like he's really enjoying everything now- the jumping snd dressage. I think you've all developed as a team and you also seem a lot more relaxed and content with life. Living for the moment is definitely the way forward. Brill job my girl.👍🇬🇧💜

[@sturdygirl7772]

So very happy for Cookie and Gemma! Good luck on Wednesday for a great experience. Zora is just lovely and a credit to you! 👍😊🤗 and Obi is a star 🌟!! 😍🤗

[@margaretmetcalfe9380]

Both beautiful horses. Love your face when the camel bit you.

[@lynnemorris7516]

It's worth watching to see the commitment you have for your horses and job. You deserve all the success that will come to you, well done, you look as one with your horses.

[@JB-uc5qp]

Miri the camels we all saw that coming. Did you expect zora to spook it amazes me how people stay on when horses do this so quick I don’t I’m off. She is a beauty and still has loads to learn but also has learnt lots.

[@jillycannan6243]

Wow. I haven't watched for a couple of months and WOW both horses are spectacular, well done💕

[@edwinahicks5010]

I predict a first prize on Monday, she is such a lovely moving young horse. Good luck for next week.

[@DaWongStar]

You totally need to do a horse box tour when it comes! Those get tons of views!

[@jilldickson4352]

Great job with Obi, he looks so special. Well so does Zora. ❤️❤️

[@alymcgaw2758]

Omg the camel at the beginning, you made me spit my tea out 😂😂😂😂

[@styledbyjess9239]

Im so happy that you described your bit. I ride in the same bit, just a different brand and for hack showing on both bridles I used the same bit just in a fixed ring so it looks more "tidy". So happy that we ride in the same style for our green babies

[@angelaprice3771]

Enjoyed seeing happy horses and happy Miri. Both horses looked very elegant .

[@rotaylor2237]

Haha! I love this that I just messaged you on Instagram and you have more motivation for me in this vlog. Love you Miri.

[@rachelgodfrey6110]

Nothing beats that post training buzz, when it goes well :) Great video, can't wait to see you at The Nationals xx

[@JustHorseyMie]

I love watching dressage with voiceover, and it was so interesting and you ride so well, it's inspiring. Both Zora and Obi looked great. I can't wait to see the show vlog.

[@christinemartindale8715]

Lovely clip hope the foal is coming along nicely tfs😎

[@rachelnewton5128]

Loved the video. Both horses look amazing. You should be so proud x

[@hackettequine2059]

Thank you so much!!

[@debbiemcqueen5132]

How I wish I could have a coach like you in Australia! Your videos give me hope for me and my boy, he needs a lot of work and I find it hard to stay motivated when I cant see any or much Improvement. I don't have a big arena to ride in and my boy finds the smaller space hard to move forward in so I feel like it's a constant battle to keep him forward and not rush etc Looking forward to seeing the next few videos of beautiful zora and obi!

[@hackettequine2059]

I feel you, my arena is small at home but getting to go for training is a great solution. could this be an option for you?

[@DML51049]

Love watching your videos and like hear all your training advice. You mentioned the bit you are using with Zora, would you be able to show which one? Like how encouraging you are with your horses and with your students.

[@hackettequine2059]

D M I’ll do it over on Instagram 😊

[@lisajames4150]

Hi Miri. Great training session. I was just thinking Zora looked a little behind the leg when you said it. But better than running on the forehand.👍I'm not that familiar with cobs being in Australia but Obi looks a little 4 beat in his canter? Not a criticism just curious and always keen to learn. Love your vlogs. ❤❤

[@hackettequine2059]

You are right! both observations are correct. she's 4 and its always something we work on with Obi 👍🏼

[@chavellisulikowski6920]

Damn camels! I’ve just been living in Egypt 9 months, they are unusual animals! What sort of horse box are you getting ? How exciting for you!

[@hackettequine2059]

only a small 3.5, but im very excited about it x

[@neilfitzgerald6617]

The video of the camels was the first of your videos that I sore🐴

[@rondathompson2628]

That was a crazy moment with a Camel.

[@jilldickson4352]

Zora is looking very good. ❤️

[@joeyriley6354]

What type of Calming Powder are you using as in which brand my horse is very nervous spooky and full of anxiety have been trying different brands and have seen some differences but he still needs to chill out alot

[@kategunther462]

Hi Miri, love your videos 😊💜.

[@vickytheblindlifehowarth5187]

Im blind and won 2 National titles on my show cob. We do.abit if everything. Cobs are the best x

[@hackettequine2059]

wow that's inspiring! cobs are amazing!

[@according2her]

In a future where corona isn't such a thread anymore, do you think you might ever offer workshops? Unfortunately not having my own horse (I only take lessons once a week) I feel your patreon isn't really for me (yet). But you do know so much and I am sure many other people would enjoy taking courses with you :) PS: I already know so much more about horses and riding in theory than in practice XD

[@hackettequine2059]

Maybe one day!

[@JustAgirly0]

omg the camles X'DDD

[@emx2550]

Hey miri I absolutely love your videos and like wow inspiration much but I was just wondering I was going to try calming cookies for the purpose to focus my horse when out eventing but his on the lazier side do they take of any energy or no xx ?

[@hackettequine2059]

Deffo doesn’t take the energy out. Xx

[@emmadeanseventing5641]

The camels 😂😂

[@LisaPanton]

how big is Obe? i am currently considering a lovely Maxi but still undecided as my instructor says it will automatically limit my scores? he's lovely but quite a bit of work to do with the contact x

[@smurfmonster]

When you emulate the groundwork whilst ridden getting her to bring her inside hind beneath her you drop your inside shoulder, is there a reason you do this? Is is to accentuate your inside leg aid?

[@hackettequine2059]

Smurf Monster yes and to put the weight over the inside hind x

[@smurfmonster]

Hackett Equine Aah I thought so, thanks 😊 x

[@daisygarrison2669]

My sister and I's names are Dolly and Daisy!

[@hackettequine2059]

hope your friendlier than the camels 😂

[@daisygarrison2669]

@@hackettequine2059 I don't bite, but I have to be honest...I am a bit feisty (I have red hair) lol

[@naunettemartin7450]

I like the how cute

[@dba750]

I was wondering about them. Has she got you to ride them yet?

[@hackettequine2059]

no they are still too young, you can't ride them till they are 3 like horses xx

[@aresblue8522]

Miri I wanted to ask your advice please....I have been looking for a horse to loan for ages now but have not found anything suitable.i looked on my local horse welfare re homing site and came across a lovely looking 1 yr old filly ,me and my daughter are considering re homing her,she is 13.3 now so I believe she could get to 14.2-15 hh at 3/4? Which would be perfect for me.the trouble is we have years of horsey experience but never with youngsters.do you think it would be good for me to go with this or look for a ridden horse? Thanks miri xxxxx

[@hackettequine2059]

hi, I would say having a young horse is a huge commitment and very different to a ridden one. there is no guarantee she will grow big enough either so lots of risks involved. sorry if im the barer of bad news. xx

[@aresblue8522]

@@hackettequine2059 thanks miri..its ok the horse I was looking at has been rehomed now xxx

[@naunettemartin7450]

I like the way the way ride your horse and can you tell me want a bit lis bridle thank you and I like the way you ride so good
