Our first ridden showing competition of 2023 | RIHS qualifier | horse show vlog

#horse #equestrian #horses
Come along with me to our first ridden showing competition of 2023
Here I share my journey from a complete novice horse rider to now competing at horse of the year (HOYS) shows whilst being a completely self-taught equestrian.
I have failed so many times over the years but always learnt something from it, I hope that my KZbin channel will be able to help teach you all the little bits that nobody seems to share and help progress you on your journey quicker than I did on mine.

I compete my 4 Welsh section D cobs regularly in both in hand and ridden showing, from local level shows, affiliated, WPCS, RIHS, to HOYS qualifiers,
Willow - 11yr old Welsh section D - Sooty palomino
Gambler - 9yr old Welsh section D - Black roan
Champ - 7yr old Welsh section D - Buckskin

I am a completely self-taught horse rider who has a big dream to compete at HOYS, why not follow my journey to see if we can make it,
I'm not perfect and I make mistakes but what we learn from it is what truly matters.

Gorgeous pony

[@KarenBadrick1]

Thank you, I can’t wait for his summer coat to come through as he looks even better then 🥰

[@zodiaczigzag1853]

Well done , its all about experience , and having fun, I had a welsh , that didn't like standing around always on the move .

[@KarenBadrick1]

Thank you, Yes it’s not normal for a welsh to stand still 😂 there always wanting to be on the go xx

[@leannecapewell7672]

Hi Karen, you both looked great 😊 like you say first show of the season. My goodness so many horses in that ring. You got to have your whits about you and that must be hard when trying to ride and get results from your horse. Well done hun. Another great vlog 😊xx

[@KarenBadrick1]

Hi Leanne Thank you, yes some of his classes can get extremely busy and it’s so hard to navigate round everyone without him loosing his rhythm Thank you so much xx

[@deborahmcallister-lw3nm]

Don't beat yourself up over anything, you do an amazing job with your cobs. I thoroughly enjoy your vlogs. Willow was going lovely in the go round, as you said a little flat on the individual, but went lovely and mannered, nothing that can't be worked on xx

[@KarenBadrick1]

Thank you so much , yes I’ve just got to remember it’s still very early in the year so we’ve got plenty of time to work on everything, xx

[@maddisonpedley7444]

Love your attitude about things and that you've realised not to beat yourself up about not winning just for the sake of a vlog. I will always enjoy your vlogs whether you win or you loose because you shaw the raw footage of the equestrian world. Don't blame him for being a bit fidgety but overall I think he did a beautiful run 😊 x

[@KarenBadrick1]

Thank you, Yes life with horses is always up and down and that’s what o wanted to show on this channel that it’s not always perfect, Thank you, xx

[@casper.the.exracer]

Another great vlog 😄 love that you’re showing the realities of getting out there, we can’t always win! As nice as that would be 😂Such a shame he decided to be a fidget but it can only get better! Oh some exciting news I sold my old rice trailer today and straight away called the saddler to see when they can come out haha x

[@KarenBadrick1]

Thank you, Yes would be lovely to win every time but this is the reality 😂 He must have been excited as never usually fidgets lol Omg that’s amazing, how exciting for you 💜 x

[@casper.the.exracer]

@@KarenBadrick1 they like to remind us to expect the unexpected don’t they! I’ve had my 20 year old horse for 12 years and she still surprises me 😂 when are you next out showing? X

[@KarenBadrick1]

Yes they certainly like to keep us on our toes and do what we don’t expect them to do 🤦‍♀️ We’re out at dressage tomorrow then ridden showing again next weekend I think it is xx

[@casper.the.exracer]

@@KarenBadrick1 oh brilliant good luck and hope you have a great day out! X

[@KarenBadrick1]

Thank you 😊 xx

[@kacey88ful]

Hi, new to your channel, really enjoying it. Can I ask what hat you were showing? I need to get one but find they look very high on my head (bigger size!) but yours looks really well

[@KarenBadrick1]

Hello and welcome, so pleased to hear that your enjoying my content. Sadly I brought this hat a few years ago now so I have no idea what style it is anymore x

[@Siobhan_Shivaun]

Such a shame about the fidgeting, he looked really good going round the ring xx

[@KarenBadrick1]

Thank you, he’s never been a fidget before 🤦‍♀️ but I will try and do some work on it before he goes out again xx

[@Siobhan_Shivaun]

@@KarenBadrick1 must've been the excitement of being at a show for the first time this year!! Ponies, what are they like?! 😀

[@KarenBadrick1]

@@Siobhan_Shivaun yes that’s what I think it was, hopefully he will settle down for next time x

[@heatherridley7276]

What do you put on his mane to make it so shiny? 😮

[@KarenBadrick1]

Just a little bit of brylcream (from willko’s / B&M) just so it stops flying about x
