"they have to know they're getting rewarded all the time." Why did i think that was so precious😭

[@bonjourbeezie]

Love the little bit of insight she gave into why she has specific things, instead of just showing everything!

[@emilieguillon-equitation421]

Yes so did I. Really interesting 😄

[@764Taro]

[@janedoe4471]

Please put up more of these vids! They are so interesting!

[@bobpatterson9728]

[@strandgirl1000]

die verschiedenen Gebisse einfach in einen Ring reinzuhängen, wie Schlüssel - super Idee!

[@emma-eventing]

my favorite parts were when she brought out the hooks of hanging... stuff haha. that's exactly how my locker is too lol

[@strandgirl1000]

die Gamaschen sind super mit dem erweiterten Neopren drumherum (8:45), damit die Hinterbeine noch mehr Schutz haben und die Brustgurte sind super, die Sie hat!

[@EqB2]

[@julianalinker6229]

its a Poland tack trunk I found one exactly the same (I'm pretty sure) on equestrian essentials! but just look up poland tack trunks

[@julianalinker6229]

equestrian-essentials.com/ I think that's it also look up alfako.com and then click the saddle boxes one (its a Poland company)

[@lucylottie8222]

Lakyn Hudson the flexi one is so nice but they are like 5 thousand pounds 😦😵

[@rebeccataz3212]

I have them stirrups !!

[@kristindewe4096]

[@salemabuhassan1394]

[@abigailglessner1535]

I'm surprised that most pro equestrians don't have ecogold pads!

[@hjumper9743]

Horse Eventer Ecogold really aren't that great of pads.

[@roserogers3336]

They arnt that great. Take a heavy ball and drop it on your pad. It will bounce. That means that your pad isn't doing anything but look pretty

[@madisonlapine7245]

Omg her horse Caretino is my horses grandfather!!

[@felicitytoad]

🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂

[@jumpingsoldier5160]

Ur like here are my boots...... i have none😭

[@kyrahofacre5925]

it seems she really relies on tack to ride

[@robertcarroll2021]

Exactly!

[@TheNonMakeupGuru]

Yes and no. shes also a top of the line rider riding a lot of difficult horses

[@sofiahewitt5860]

Can she lend me a pair of spurs 🤭

[@kacieowen2186]

YOU DON'T NEED SPURS!!!!!!!!!!!

[@megancav11]

Kacie Owen some horses do. They do not hurt the horse unless you are jabbing them hard.

[@ajeldred]

How does a professional rider not know the proper terminology for all of her gear?

[@TheNonMakeupGuru]

With that much gear very very easily

[@neoandlykkecat]

I don't ride anymore. But if I should start again, I would refuse to ride with a bit. Or if I had to use a bit, it would be a soft rubber bit.

[@TheNonMakeupGuru]

A lot of her bits are rather soft?

[@ponylovermadden4560]

the MUSIC is louder than she is very annoying

[@fififloyd]

I would like to know why you would put a slip pad straight on the horse's skin, they are proven to rip their hair out. Also your "junk" draw, being a retired international groom myself, you shouldn't have a junk draw, everything should be in order, if not your groom isn't doing their job properly.

[@freyatopper5134]

It most likely is well organised it's probably just referred to as a junk drawer instead of random things or bits and bobs.

[@fififloyd]

@@freyatopper5134 when I groomed all the draws were for something, never had a draw like that.

[@freyatopper5134]

@@fififloyd It's clearly for all the other buts that don't belong in the other drawers but are necessary

[@fififloyd]

@@freyatopper5134 think what you like, but I did the job for years and never had that.

[@guillaumeg4204]

@@fififloyd I've been a groom for years too. And i've met Reesa (her groom) a few times. I can tell you she's very organized and Edwina really likes things to be organized and clean. So the junk draw, isn't really a "junk" place. It's more of an utilitarian draw, where you can have extras and handy things as we all need. (ie. zip ties, glue, extra earplugs, extra blinders, extra horse number, etc - all really handy stuff you don't want o come short of.) So instead of praising yourself and criticizing others based on a video, get ou there and see for yourself. Don't know where you've been a groom, but seems like you fit arrogant standards.

[@catequestrian4788]

6:26 Hint: You have legs

[@atiriayoung-ogle7408]

Horses_Ponies Puppy sometimes, actually a lot of the time, it’s better to use a quick aid that only lasts a split second (i.e Spurs) then use a fuck tonne of leg which can agitate a horse, and it’s not actually good to use too much leg. Also she’s a top rider, and knows how to use spurs and not cause any damage to the horse

[@catequestrian4788]

6:14 Literally vomited

[@brynneweeks986]

I don’t use spurs because they are dumb, abusive and guess what!? I have heels!! Pretty surprising right? I don’t use bits other than french link snaffles because they are dumb, abusive and guess what!? Would you like to have a metal thing tugging on your mouth? Do I need to keep repeating myself? Sometimes the way people think is mind blowing. I thought they were the most intelligent animal... think about coral reefs not 5g (5g’s waves are really bad for you anyway). Convenience isn’t what is needed, we are slowly killing ourselves, think about how if you were actually a good rider you wouldn’t need “weapons” to get your horse to listen. Train them the way you want them to be. It isn’t all about the money and time. FYI: If you have the time to hate on the truth then your a loser. If you read through this (and aren’t being rude about it) thank you soooo much, even if you don’t agree.

[@poppywilde1816]

🙏🙏🙏

[@TheNonMakeupGuru]

Wow arent you ignorant

[@nanawhitee]

you don't seem very educated in the sport lol

[@paigemontague4022]

Honestly I don't understand why you would comment this trying to openly say that you only do things to your horse that they like and are comfortable with. If you really want to ride all the time with the horse seemingly liking it, ask yourself if you would really like a 60kg person sitting on your back telling you where to go and what to do with straps tied to your face. Riding itself is not natural. I'm also not just being hypocritical, lots of riders will ride even thought they know they horse probably doesn't want to be ridden.
